Ex-senator Boutwell,, OF Massachusetts,. says that
General Grant Is correct in his statements
relative to ex-senator Sumner made In the interview
had with him by the HERALD correspondent at Cairo.
The legislation rocrred to, however, did not pertain
to reconstruction but resolution In a reference
10 section Of tho law passed March 2 1867, provd-
ing that the OF the General OF the Army
should be at Washington. and not removed unless
with the sanction Of Congress.
THE CONVERSATION WITH Mr. SUMNER.
Mr.. Boutwell, says that he remembers Mr.. Sumner,
IN conversation, to have claimed that he
was the author Of this resolution, to which
he, however, said nothing, but smiled,
az he knew where II originated and who was repon-
slble Ior it. Mr. Boutwell, further states that al
though he handed the clause In question to the chair
man OF the House Committee OF Appropriations. who
WAS Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens, OF Pennsylvania. It's au-
thorshp did not belong to him Alone but Its produc-
tion the result Of q consultation held by several
leading republicans sr 81 .. ie a9
srxSxR ADDITIONALLY WRONG.
Mr. Sumner additionally wrong In thinking that
the clause cmauaSed from himself a. IL was pre-
sensed TO the House, whence won't to the Senate on
the Appropriation bi and was adopted at once with
out amen dment from which II will be seen the Sem
ate had nothing to do with except pass It just
II came from tho House.
OBJECT rHR LEGISLATION.
The legislation thus had to restrain President
johnson in steps likely 70 be taken by him. II was
thought In connection with Southern representation
after no had undertaken reconstruction. Mr.. Bout
well says no thinks no the only person living
who knows OF the inception and carrying out Of the
measure Mr. Sumner had nothing 10 do with it.

The Centenary Of Illinois.

On the morning of the 4th instant,
the Springfield (IlD. Register said "A
peculiar interest attaches for the GM
zens of this state to the celebration Of
the national anniversary to-day. 1t is
just 100 years since Illinois signed the
declaration of Independence, manifest
ed by the capture of the Oldest towns
in the country, then settled by the
French, who readily embraced the op
portunity offered by the expedition Of
General Clark to throw off their forced
British allegiance and cast their lotwith
the American colonists. Kaskaskia,
Prairie de Rocher, Cahokia, were the
outposts Of the western country. Fort
Gage, near the former, readily yielded
to the overtures of the General with his
ragged Virginia and Kentucky troops,
who on the morning of the 4th Of July,
1873, presented themselves before its
walls. One hundred years have worked
wonders in the history of the country
and in the lives of individuals in this
great valley. There could be no more
appropriate occasion to note them than
the anniversary of to-day"

The Supreme Court of Arkansas has
just delivered an opinion by which 49,
100000 worth of her state bonds, known
as "levee bonds" are declared to be
unconstitutional and void. Whereup-
on the Little Rock Gazette "congratu-
lates the people of Arkansas upon the
decision, which lifts burden of nearly
$3,OOO,OOO from their shoulders" 1t is
nice to have big burden lifted from
ones shoulders this hot weather, but
then how do the fellows feel who own
the bonds.

The connection has | cen made in the
Sutro tunnel, and strong current of
air passes through 50 that the great an
ticipations Of the company are likely to
be realized. The work was begun ON
the Sutro tunnel on the 10Th of Octo-
Der, 1869. The work has, therefore,
required eight years and eight months
to complete. The progress was very
slow at first, all drilling having been by
hand; but in the spring of 1874, ex-
periments with n Burleigh drill having
demonstrated the advantages to be de-
rived from the use of that machine, a
carriage capable of supporting six of
those drills while at work was made,
and on the ODD day of June, 1874, four
were started. The progress was now
much more rapid than ever before in
the history of tunneling in the world,
and on August Z, in the same year, two
more drills were put to work. This
made six altogether. From that date
the average progress was over 500 feet
per month up to April, 1877, when, the
the header having entered the broad
Comstock mineral belt, the heat be-
came so intense that two drills had to
be taken off the carriage. From that
day the average monthly progress did
not exceed $50 feet Work has been
continued uninterruptedty from the
time that ground was broken until the
connection was made on the 18th inst.
The greatest progress was in Deem
Der, 1875, when the heading was adj
vanced Az feet. and the least in Octo-
Der, 1870, when it was only advanced
Is feet. The total length of the tunnel.
rs stated in the official chart published
last September, is 20170 feet. The
tunnel being connected with the Com
stock workings, the next move of Mr..
Sutro will doubtless be to start north
and south drifts to connect with all the
mines on the lode. The work has cost
nearly 100000
