other districts, is that it has been found from
experience that great difficulty and expense
will attend the removal OF the great number
OF piles and timber work now forming the
wharves and occupying portion OF the slope
needing protection, and which it would be
necessary to remove were 1t determined TO
carpet the entire slope, adding considerably

stances would warrant.

cate that the largest interests involved are
in section 2, from Morgan's wharf to Congress-
street. 1t therefore seems expedient that
tle proposed measures of protection should
be first applied to that part OF the shore

with intermediates soft strata. These soft
strata outcrop at varying depths. as shown
on adjacent lines OF soundings. In some
cases they are quite regular, In others quite
irregular, as Ii deposited upon a slope. The
cavfngs result from the saturation of these
layers of soft material, which are afterwards
washed or cut out, causing the superincum-
bent mass to fall or slide into the river. This
cavlng. takes place mostly upon falling
river, The high water seeming to act by its
pressure In sustaining the bank. These soft
strata occur at various depths from near the
surface to near the bottom OF the river and
the greater OF less amount OF cave seems to
depend upon their relative position.
In order then to retain the bank in its nat
ural position the remedy to be applied would
seem to be some method by which the cutting
out OF the defective strata could be prevent
ed. This Is best subserved by ying to
cover the whole slope. or so much OF it as Is
likely to be affected. The banks along the
city front present conditions not unfavor-
able to the successful! application Of a pro-
ject, such as was outlined in our preliminary
report OF November last. The general method
indicated there was to cover the slope of the
bank with revetment of brush and stone in
such shapes and forms as best suited the par,
ticuar locality where it was to be applied.
While much more costly applications Of
timber and stone might subserve the object
In view, those of brush and stone in the shape
of mating applied to the banks have the me
it, that while suitable for the PURPOSE, tht5
are comparatively cheap, are durable, are
easily applied, and on account of their pla
bility can be well adapted to the irregular
slopes OF the banks caused by the caving. Al
the same time the carpeting of the bank il
such manner causes no undue contraction o
the water way aad allows the current to move
along in its natural course.
At the upper section OF the river at Carroll
ton, and on the right bank above Algiers
where there are no wharves, 1t is proposed, il
accordance with the above views, to cover th'

AN HONEST DOLLAR

This is how an Indiana paper, the
Lafayette Journal, states the greenback
question: "When the soldier was get
ting sixteen paper dollars, worth about
fifty cents each, for risking his life in
the service Of his country, we didn't
hear a word Of complaint or protest
from the honest dollar men who now
scream reputation and dishonesty at
those who favor the reconciliation OF
the dollar Of 4l2l grains. The bond
holder drew his interest in gold, and
sold it at an enormous premium to the
government. The dollar then received
by the boys in blue was then an honest
dollar. 1t has only become dishonest
and the repudiatOr's currency when it
is proposed to pay the bondholder with
it. 1t is a fine arrangement that the
nations conscience is in the keeping Of
men who have nothing to do but to cut
coupons twice a year, for which they
receive money worth twenty to twenty
five per cent. more than that which they
gave for them"

RECENT EVENTS,

Hon. Gideon Wells, ex-Secretary of
the Navy, died February 1lth, at Hart
ford, Connecticut, from the effects of a
carbuncle, which had confined him to
his house for about two weeks.
Mitchell expresses the positive opin-
ion that his proposition for a short trans
continental route to the Northwest will
win more votes for the bill in the SEN
ate than can possibly be lost by it.
The Senate and House met in joint
convention February 18th, and received
Carpenters painting of the signing Of
the emancipation proclamation. Gar
field made the presentation speech. The
presentation ceremonies were closed
with an eloquent speech by Stephens,
Of Georgia.
Most Rev. J. Gibbons, who succeeded
the late James Roosevelt Bailey in the
archepiscopal sea of Baltimore, was in
vested with the pallium at the Roman
Catholic Cathedral in that city Febru-
airy 10th. A large number of bishops
and clergy Of the church from all parts
Of the United States were in attendance.
The ceremonies were of very impress
sive character.
a Washington dispatch of February
llth says: "The silver bill still hangs
fire and will be discussed for a week
longer in the Senate, where the bill for
the repeal of the resumption act will
lead to another long debate, and the
House will probably soon be involved
in fierce conflict over a bill substi-
tuting greenbacks for national bank
notes, which is likely to be reported
from the banking and currency COM
mittee."
Life-size pictures of the Pope, draped
in mourning and surmOunted by the

''The Postmaster General has issued a
new rule which caused furry in Re-
publican circles. Postmasters for small
towns and for country districts will
hereafter be appointed on recommenda-
tion Of the postmaster of the largest
neighboring cities. Some Western
members of Congress feel indignant at
this loss Of patronage. They believe it
to be another insidious blow at the Re
publican party, and are more than ever
convinced the Presidents Southern pol
icy is failure"
