Colonel Eads and his Reward

Colonel EADs's jetties at the South Pass
OF the Mississippi have done all he promised
for them, and he is entitled under the law
which led him to undertake that remarka-
BILE work to large amount while he finds
that it will be difficult to pass the bill to pay
him. It is hard that man VINO has con-
ferred a great benefit upon the millions
who dwell in the Mississippi valley should
be treated SO unfairly. The deepening Of
the channel through the shadows of the
Delta to the Gulf to twenty-five feet, 80 that
nearly all vessels navigating the ocean can
come to New Orleans, is triumph Of by
draulic engineering that will greatly adj
vance the interests Of commerce. 1t will
establish the success of the new mode of
river Improvement in tidal streams, and
immensely facilitate the communica-
ton between river towns and the
sea. So that Colonel EADs has done for his
country service for which he should not
only be paid, but be paid with handsome
alacrity. We fully appreciate the value Of
his achievement to the immense population Of
theteeming valley Of the Mississippi. The ma
ton, justly estimating that service, should
consider the improvement of great value
to the Union. 1t would indeed be stigma
upon the American character should Con-
gress hesitate about the recognition Of the
service rendered by Colonel EADs, and pay
ing for it without delay.

The Next Governor.

1t has been argued that it is too soon to
agitate for the next Governor; that we
should rest now upon that subject while we
have 50 much to engage and absorb our at
tention This view is reasonable; but self
ish politicians and aspirants who are eager
for public Donors, whether deserving them
or not, are not the men to refrain from cleo
tionecrinS tactics. Their regard for pro-
priety never binders them from obtrusive
solicitation and buttonholing. Nor can any
public exigency be considered as worthy OF
precedence before their personal interests.
We therefore think that the canvass for
Governor is begun, and those who are mo-
dest about it may find themselves too late
when they do begin to :" let out"

A BULLS EYE.-The Philadelphia Eue-
ming telegraph, Republican paper, makes
a BULBS eye in commenting on Returning
Board Wells's lame and impotent eXplana-
ton OF his letter to Senator West. 1t says:
awe must face the fact, however obnox-
ious it may be, that Wells, the president of
the Returning Board Of Louisiana, know
ing that the electoral vote OF that State
would elect either Hayes or Tilden, offered
it for sale first to the Republicans and then
to the Democrats, and that the election OF
November for President OF the United States
and the franchises Of the whole nation were
in this one scoundrePs control, and that he
held them subject to the highest bidder.
No less than that can possibly be made OF
it, and il the electoral commission want any
more argument than they have had to con-
vince them that they must go behind the
verdict of the Louisiana Returning Board
to find the truth, this letter Of Wells gives
them an irrefutable and irresistible argu-
ment.''

CAPITAL of West Virginia

What was called "the capital bill" has
passed the House Of Delegates Of West Vir-
ginia. 1t provides that at the election in Au-
gust neXtth people shall vote upon the ques-
ton of locating the State capital at one OF
three places-viz: Charleston, Clarksburg,
and Martinsburg. 1t provides, further, that
if one OF the three does not receive ma
iority Of the votes poIed that then a new
election shall be held, at the next general
electiou-in August, 1873 las to which Of the
two towns that received the highest vote at
the first election shall be the capital, and
that one OF the two which shall then be Sc
lected shall be the capital. AS soon as the
permanent seat is thus chosen the Board Of
Public Works is directed to 90 on and make
contracts either for the erection Of capitol
building or for the alteration and repair Of
some building already existing in order to
make it suitable for the wants OF the Gov
crnment. I'm ""i~
Wheeling is to remain as the seat Of gov
eminent until 1885 eight years longer-in
which time there is no telling what may
happen upon the subject.
AS the bill stands the end Of fixing the
State capital at Clarksburg is, we may say,
certain. Martinsburg and Clarksburg at
the first election will prevent Charleston,
Kanawha from getting "a majority, and
Martinsburg will get the lowest vote. AT
the second election the strength Of the many
baltimore and Ohio railroad towns will be
combined upon Clarksburg, and that will
be chosen. &,sesf2s
The seat OF government selected and tie:
capitol built of course diminishes the chance
for the reunion OF the now divided parts Of
the Old Dominic an event the elder citi-,
zens Of both States have continued to hope
for. Many have speculated as to this re-
union, with staunton as the seat Of govern
ment. This is forlorn hope indeed, yet
as unlikely things. hare been known to hap

In the bill which passeds oa the lAth OF

improved by giving something TO James les
river, but the prospects are not encouraging
Our Petersburg neighbors have been eA-
ertspg themselves through committee sent
to Washington to get 1an appropriation for the
Appomattox. We are sure our representa-
tive, Governor W AIKER, will use due dill
gence to get something for James river,
and we are also sure that he will be yigor-
ously aided by Senators JOHNSTON and
WrrHERs. The appropriation made in
August will not keep the work agoing after
the. first month oritwo OF summer. The
work that is stopped In an unfinished con-
dition is always in danger Of injury, and
we trust that Congress will appropriate
enough to keep up operations, even II it
must be on limited scale
The fine results that have attended Colo
mel EADs's work Of the jetties at the mouth
OF the Mississippi give the people OF Rich
mond the highest satisfaction, as the system
Of Improvement in lower James river is pre-
cisely upon the principle carried out in the
EADs jetties. The training-walls that mar
row the width OF the river where shoals
exist increase the force OF the volume OF
water, which scours out the river-bed and
permanently deepens the channel. All parts
OF James river where the channel is shallow
because of the expansion OF its waters are
thus susceptible of easy and permanent inn
provement, while dredging would be only
temporary work chat would require con-
slant repetition OF dredging to maintain the
depth OF the channel.
We now have the satisfactory proof that
the Improvement now in progress on the
lower James will not only increase the
depth Of the channel, but will make
that depth permanent, with only sucn
repairs as may be needed to keep up
the walls and prevent the abrasion
of the shores. This fact gives to
Richmond bright future. The settled law
of commerce is that importations seek to
get as far into the interior or as near to the
consumer as is reasonably possible, and
that all products for export take shipping
at the nearest point of shipment; the
water transportation in marine vessels being
so much cheaper than land carriage that
the former is heightened and the latter
shortened wherever it is possible. Rich
mond may have twenty feet water from her
wharyes to Hampton Roads ia few years.

CRYPToGRAPHY IN DETRoIT-AN EXPERT
MENT WITH "GoBBLE."-Detroit, February
G.-The Tribune, Of this city, will contain
tomorrow morning perfect translation OF
the famous "Gobble" cipher-dispatch sent
to Mr.. Tilden from Portland, Oregon, De-
cember 1st. It is as follows:
81 shall decide every point in the case of
post-office elector in favor OF the highest
Democratic elector, and grant the certificate
accordingly. Rule morning Of the 9th in
consequence. Confidential"
The demonstration is absolutely perfect.
A copy OF a peculiar pocket-edition OF an
English dictionary was used, and the Iri-
bune states that it has good reason to know
that particular book was in Portland at that
particular time, and in whose possession it
was. The Tribune took the dictionary and
translated the CIPHER word by word, as
above given, according to the key furnished.

Democratic chairman OF one of the leading
investigating committees. of the House re-
marked tonight that il, the final decision OF
the electoral count should be adverse to
Governor Tilden he will not accept the re-
suit without further testing his rights in

ties in interest, Notwithstanding the award,
OF the commission, shall not be deprived Of
any rights now possessed under the Com
stitution or, the laws to try the right of the

The Electoral Commission,

The Electoral COMMISSION.
Tie Electoral Commission seems to be de-
ter,nsned to take Chief-J Justice MARSHALL as
Guide. The orders entered yesterday by
that august tribunal indicate that the bill OF
1890 is to be followed. s,
The scope OF the first order cannot De
exactly stated at present. The second
one indicates that II HUMPHREYS shall De
found to be- ineligible, his vote WIZ
be thrown out. This course was 'h.
dicascd as proper by the Dill Oh
1860. AS to bis eligibility, we nave
this TO say, that according to his own eests.
monv and to the report OF the minority OF
the House committee that went to Florioa'
and To the declarations of the HAYES coun-
sci before the Commission, he IS eiisio.c'
hi. according to the testimony OF parties
other than himself, and the report OF the
,,,,,or;tv Of said committee, he is ineligible.
Tho CLERK of the court testified that his re-
s;rnation had never been filed in his office,
where 1t ought to be found; but HUMPHREYS
himself says that the Judge wrote him a
letter accepting it. If bis vote be thrown
out, TILpIS will be elected by the House OF
Representatives.
Tue Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore American writing on Thursday
night states that ne had learned from mem
Der OF tie Commission certain things which
make the following surmises plausible:
son Thursday each side will be directed
tor argue which is the bona Jfde legal GER
titicate-that given by Governor S;earns to
the Hayes electors, or that given by Gov
ernor Drew to the Tilden electors. Each
side is to be allowed to introduce as evil
dencc the testimony taken by the congress
sional committees which visited Florida,
subject tc objections from either counsel
under such forms OF law as now exist con-
corning evidence"
That seems to have been good guess.
We do not wish to excite undue hopes;
but we think we can safely say that nothing
has yet been done which ought to cause the
Democrats to despond. The prospect 10
still bright.

SOUTH CARoLINA-DECIsIoN OF JUDGE
CARPENTER Columbia, S. g., February 7.
A dispatch says Judge Carpenter has filed
his decision in the case OF William H. Wal
lace, Speaker of the Democratic House OF
Representatives, ct ais, Us. Carolina State
Bank and other State repositories, and F.
L. Cardozo, claiming to be Republican State
Treasurer, asking for. an injunction re-
straining the banks from paying any moneys
upon chccksIdrawn by Cardozo as Treasurer.
The court decided-irst, that by law the
Treasurer enters upon the duties OF his
office when the in coming Governor is
duly and legally installed, and not
till then; second, that the consti-
tuition Of the State and the statutes re-
quire the presence Of both houses to
open and publish returns for Governor and
for his installation third, that the Mackey
House, in which Chamberlain was inaugu-
rated, was illegal and revolutionary; that
its acts are null and void; and that, there
fore, no legal publication OF returns had
been made and no lawful installation OF
Governor had taken place.
An order was accordingly issued to-day
restraining State repositories from paying
any moneys upon checks OF .Cardozo, and
restraining that person from drawing any
checks as State Treasurer until final de-
cree is issued.

WHAT THE DECISION IS.
A majority OF the commission will decide
that, in addition to the electoral certificates,
no evidence can be received by the commits
sion in regard to the Florida case, except
such as relates merely to the action OF the
Florida State Government subsequent TO
the presidential election. Concedlng this to
be the determination OF the commission,
then inquiries in regard to matters OF fact
will be restricted to comparatively mar
row range, and thus the final decision In the
Florida case may be expected sooner than has
been generally anticipated. Evidence con-
corning the action of the Florida courts and
Legislature on the matter in controversy is
of documentary character, and is already
accessible to the commission. 1t is proba-
BILE therefore that the final decision In the
Florida case will be reported to the Joint
session OF the two houses before the close
of the present week.-Speciai TO Baltimore
american.
[This guess may be read as il written
after the deciSion.]
NO FEARS.
There is not likely to be any serious dill
ferences OF opinion among. the Supreme
Court justices; and, furthermore, the idea
that the determination Of the questions
before the commission are likely to consume
all the time to the 4th OF March is entirely
without foundation. 1t is not believed that
more than two members Of the commission,
whose names will readily suggest them
selves, will consent for q moment to any
representation likely to have that effect.
