CHANNEL DEPTH oFTwENrY- FOUR FEET.

Especial Telegram to the Cincinnati Commercial !
WASHINGTON, March 1s.-A letter was,
received 10y the secretary of war to-day
from the inspecting engineer at the jet
ties, dated THE 10. OF this month, ins
which it is stated that during the forty
days proceeding the 10Th the channel OF
twenty -four feet, and of the full width
nf $50 feet, had moved down 5000 feet,
which brings it to within 1900 feet s,t
the deep water.
The depth Of twenty four feet was
secured Il, withiIS0O feet of the deep
water, OF Il sufficient width to piA>S
steamers drawing that amount Of wal er.
\ letter WAS also received here to-day
from Mr.. Schmidt, the assistant engipeer
of the jrtsirS, dated the 12tn, Stain =
that but $4,000 cubic yards would, have
70 be secured before reaching thu. We
quired dtpt! of twenty four feet of
$50 feet width, to obtain the uext pay
ment. These statements give an em-
phatic denial to the runiors which for Il
few days have been actively circulss ted
among members OF Congress that the
iyass WAS filling ND.

country, heretofore comparatively un-

rejoice in the belief that South Western

Senator w. A. Robertson reached home
Thursday, looking in excellent health.
His term as Senator from the 10th Dis
trict, expired with the present years
session of the Legislature.
The record he has made in the SENATE
during the past four years is one OF which
any nan or any constituency may well
be proud.
The Democratic party during all that
trying period has had no more faithful,

The Democratic editor has changed
his tune suddenly on the question of
a cipher investigation. A few days
agoh he was clamoring for two sided
inquiry which should spare nobody.
Now he has given up that pro-
CRANE, naturally enough, and is
anxious for quiet session, devoted
entirely to the business of the coun-
try. He has an elaborate excuse for
this change Of course. If business is
neglected for a partisan inquiry an
extra session will be necessary, and
the Democrats will put the response
biIity upon the Republicans for fore
ing it upon the people. This is UNI
commonly clumsy. If the Democrats
wish to investigate the ciphers they
can do it easily enough without
making an extra session necessary.
The work is all ready for them. The
ciphers have been before them long
enough to be examined, and explain
ed, if explanation is possible. The
difficult part of the job has teen per
form d by The Nelo York Trib1me,
and it went take long to find out
from II z 2oFGIC eGers and Mr.. Tilden
Wheth II nslations are accurate

A very queer story comes from
Georgia, as to the truth of which
the President should order an inveS-
tigation. The Democratic party in
the State is completely disorganized-
In several of the congressional dis
tricts independents" who, to be
sure, are Democrats, We're elected
over The regular candidates, and now
the Georgia Republican declares that
there are good grounds for asserting
with truthful positiveness, that but
for the factions and unwarrantable
opposition made by federal officials
to nominations of Republicans, three
or more Republicans could have
been elected from this State to the
next Congress. The significance of
this is that federal officials, many of
them appointed at the request of
Ben Hill and Gordon, sold out the
Republican candidates. or discour-
aged any attempt to elect them. The
same journal says that 1.-THE Rppubli.
can strength is constantly augment
ing in Georgia that terrorism
is subsidlng; that the cOlored Re-
puulicanS are beginning to learn their
incontestihle rights, and their nu-
mcrical strength and consequent
political power.

A Washington special to the New
York Graphic, which that paper in
it's leader says is undoubtedly correct,
states that friends of Senator Conk-
ling have recently been in conference
there and in New York on the sub
iect of his nomination for the presi-
dency, and that he wishes it under
stood that he is not candidate, and
will not again enter into the contest.
This attitude is supposed to be due,
according to the Graphic, to the
movements Oh foot to concentrate on
Gen. Grant.

If anybody supposes the South
Carolina bull dOzprs are IA bit s"rry
for their caprrs, he is dreadIully
mistaken. They don't even pretend
to cover up their deeds, but hraZrnly
boast of them in their newspapers.
che Charleston NeicS and Courier
says, with superb ilnpudence, that
the negroes chad no back bone and
lost the game :" that it is idle to
talk of FREE Omen in these days
making successful resistance to the
political operations of white men :"
that "the latter have intelligence,
experience and the determination
not to be ruled by ignorant negroes,
whether the negroes outnumber them
or not" This is cool avOwal, but it
represents the solid Southern senti-
ment on the subject with complete
accuracy. The negro must either
vote the Democratic ticket or not
vote at all. If he tries to vote the
Republican ticket, he will be met by
what the bulldozers' organ is pleased
to call "intelligence and experience"
which are happy synonyms for red
shirt intimidation and tissue ballots.

1t was an issue forced on the Repub-
licans in Congress by Democratic
diabolism and they could shirk the
responsibilities without a show of
cowardice and recreancy that wonld,
and ought to have been, fatal to their
distinguished position as the ex-
ponents of Republicanism and
equality before the law. Demecra-
cy will only have itself to thank for
the barbaric light in which the in

Sending Goals to New Castle is no
longer so paradoxical as it used to be,
and the London Court Journal itself
but mildly expresses establishment
that the United State after having
establishing the regular and profit

in Manchester and American cutlery
and hardware in Birmingham,
should ship plum pudding to Eng
land, potatoes to Ireland, oatmeal to
Scotland toys to Nuremberg, and
lager beer to Germany.

PRINCESS ALICE OF HESSE The
Princess Alice Maud Mary, consort
of Prince Frederick Louis, Grand
Duke of Hesse DarmStadt, second
daughter and third child of Queen
Victoria, who died Saturday, was
born in 1913, April %. She married
July /, 1862, and was the mother OF
five daughters and two sons. Her
marriage was s0lemnized privately
at Osborne, and was probably the
least transformations royal marriage
that England had seen for many
years. The Queen, then suffering
from her recent severe at1llction, at
tended in deep mourning. One OF the
Princess children died in 1873 in con-
sequence of fall, and another, re-
Gently, of diphthcria. 1t was IN
nursing the latter child that the
Princess herself contracted the dis
ease. The Princess Alice was the
good daughter of Il good mother. The
Queen has nine children and the
Princess Alice's is the first death
amongst them. The need Of the
Marchioness of Lorne to go into
mourning for her sister will, OF
course, eclipse all the gayeties of the
vice-regrl court in Canada, to which
the people of the Dominion have
been looking forward.

HAYES IN FAVOR OF GRANT.-A
Washing ton correspondent of the
Cleyeland Leader says: ga curious
feature about the Grant movement
the fact that President Hayes seems
tie look with favor upon the posi-
bility that his predecessor may also
be his successor. He is reported to
have expressed himself to number
of friends of late in a way that shows
he would not be at all displeased if
Grant were to step in when he steps
out. His idea seems to be that Grant
would carry out substantially the
policy of the present administration
in regard to all important questions,
and especially the Southern question
and the money question, while a
'stalwart' like Blame or COnkling
coming into power in 1881 might try
to reverse everything done during
the pretending four years. Mr..
Hayes evidently looks upon his
policy as the result ofGrant's expert
ence, and it certainly is in accord
with Grants advice on leaving the
presidency. The nomination of
pronounced 'stalwart' in 1880 would
naturally seem to Mr.. Hayes like a
rebuke to his administration, while
/ that of Gen. Grant he would regard
as in some sort yindication, and as
affording an assurance of the con-
tinuance of a moderate policy"

1t is now generally conceded that
imitation is dying out in the West
with the return of prosperity to that
section. People are not so anxious
for greenbacks when they cease to be
debtors. They are willing enough
to pay them but not to be paid in
them. This fact, perhaps, explains
the generous declaration of the
Greenback Congressman that they
will not interfere with Secretary
Sherman, but will give resumption
"a fair show"

The Boston Herald says there are
several gangs of bogus commission
merchants doing business in that
city, organized under a leader who
furnishes all the capital required.
The method is to obtain consignment
of all kinds Of produce on credit bv

high prices, and disposing of the
same in New York at low rates

does not reach them, the business i,

Forming an opinion from the in
formation concerning European at
fairs derived from newspaper sources,
one would be left in doubt whether
war between nations or internal war
between castles is first to be expected
in the old world. Indications plainly
point to combinations Of kings
against kings; but the signs are
no less plain of a struggle which
may bring the rulers together in
common action against socialism.
The revolutionary spirit is in flame
all over continental Europe. The
successive attempts on the lives Of
soyereigns give warning Of the fact.
The unchecked course of the incipi-
ent revolution and its violent repres-
sion seem alike to lead to bloodShed.
More than one of the careful obser-
vers of the times and students of his
tory see with prophetic vision the
no rorS of the French revolution re-
peated all over Europe, or else look
for the crushing Of the uprising and
the consequent rigors Of absolute
despOti.m. With the choice given
to Europe of external or internal
war, and, in the latter event, of an
archy or aosoIutism, our own pro-
phels of evil will be severely tried
10 prove American prosperity so UNI
satisfactory.
