River Improvement

The bill introduced in the house ty
Mr.. Crittenden, Of Missouri. for tie
improvement Of the Ohio, Mississippi
Missouri rivers provides for the ap.
pointment by the secretary Of war of
four commissions Of five persons each
two Of each to be United States cngi.
neers, one civil engineer, and two
experienced river navigators-whose
duty it shall be to mature plans for
the improvement Of the navigation o'
the following rivers: First. The low
er Mississippi river, from the mouth of
the Missouri river to the Balize' Sec.
ond. The upper Mississippi river, from
the mouth Of the Missouri river to the
Falls Of St. Anthony. Third. The
Missouri river, from Fort Benton to
i:s mouth. Fourth. TIE Ohio river
from Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania. to its
mouth. The bill appropriates thirty
thousand dollars to defray the expense
Of the four commissions. We no not
quite comprehend the object Of this
bill. IF 1t be intended that the seve.
raj commissions shall merely determine
which Of several proposed plans Of
river improvement is likely to be most
useful or effective, thirty thousand
dollars 10 too much to pay for the
opinions Of engineers or river men on
the subject. since they can be had for
nothing. 1fit is proposed that they
shall Investigate the condition and
needs of the several rivers, which
would imply thorough photographic
survey, the appropriation is hardly ad
e1uate to the survey Of either one Of
the rivers or sections named. More.
over it is not at all necessary that, so
far As the Upper Mississippi is con.
cerned, congress should await resur
vey before making appropriations; for
. thorough survey was made few
years ago by Gen. Warren, and through
Of course, there have been some chan.
ges by the shifting Of sand bars, new
survey would not help that matter, and
the people Of the upper Mississippi
valley moreover will be quite satisfied
to have the work superintended by the
United States engineer department.
who can reality avail themselves Of all
that river men known about the matter
without encumbering the supervision
Of the Improvement with divided

Mr.. H.iYRS HOPEFUL
or the Confirmation OF his Appointments and
the safety of his Title.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-Hayes has been
talking in a pleasant way during the last three
or four days about the appointments he made
last summer In the New York Custom House.
He says he thinks they will be confirmed with
out serious delay. after being criticised by Re-
publieans in a friendly spirit and confined by
the Democrats without factious opposition.
Hayes's principal reason for having this opin-
ion IN probably the fact that his removals and
appointments signally failed to accomplish the
end he had in view-barring the Senate door TO
Roscoe Conklng. As matters stand II Is the
general opinion among well-iniormed people
here that the appointments will be- confirmed
without extended debate. A to his own ad-
ministration. Hayes in the same conversation
expressed his belief that the rest Of his path
would be easy, every month removing him fur
ther from the fraud 10y which his office was
won Though Hayes did not put It precisely in
Gus that he had every hope II would remain un-
changed TO the end, a thing without precedent.
