The other evening she was on her

a dash for q gold watch which she

any such foolish thing the lady used
her right arm, which the thief had

doses Of cayenne pepper where it
would do the most good-in tho

JOHN SHERMAN has been interviewed
upon the subject of using the office which
he now holds to help him to the nomination
for president. Asa matter of course, John,
In true Louisiana style, denies everything,
just as coolly as would Mrs. jerks or ].
Madison Wells. He declared that he
neither had nor would in the slightest de-
gree use the power of his office to promote
his nomination, and was only a candidate in
the same way that many others are classed
as candidates; that he expected every Re-
publican freely to express his opinion and
IS freely to make his choice of candidates;
that he would do nothing to influence the
feeling and judgment of those holding pubic
office, and that he would not accept NOM
ination unless it was the clear and distinct
desire of the majority of the Republican
party, without bias or influence from Office
holders or office seekers. The officers of his
department, he said, are like all other pso-
ple-they have Alright to express their prefer
ence, and SO far as was he concerned they
would not be injured or aided, because of
their preference for, or opposition to, him"
We do not suppose there are dozen men
IN the country at all familiar with John Sher-
mans character for veracity, in partisan
political matters, who believe a word he says,
under oath no strength would be sdded to
them thereby. As veracity man, John
Sherman is below par.

WORK FOR THE NEXT SESSION.

Already the papsrs have commenced dis
cussing and mapping out work for the next
regular session of Congress, and the cry for
more retrenchment and reform is heard
throughout the la d. The New York Sun,
in commenting upon the subject, remarks
that ''during the last two Congresses the Re-
publican majority in the Senate was an OBJ
stacle to every reform and to every bill of
retrenchment proposed by the House Of
Representatives. All reductions In public
expenditures had to be extorted from a re-
luctant party, and were obtained only by
the force of public opinion, added 10 the
determination of the popular branch to cut
off the most conspicuous abuses, or to let
the appropriations fail, and thus make up
the issue for the country. This alternative
forced the Senate to concessions that other
wise would not have been made. While
this antagonism existed. no systematic plan
of economy, based on searching investiga-
ton into every part of the public service,
was at all practicable. Consequently much
remains to be done in this direction, and
the responsibility Of failure rests with the
Democrats, now in majority in both
Houses
There is no mistaking the fact that much II

WESTERN COMMERCE.

There are those who affect to believe that
the great navigable streams of the West are
about played out as arteries of commerce,
and that the railroads are to do the transport
alton business in the future. We are told
that the commerce of New Orleans is rapidly
decaying, and that the great Southern
emporium is afflicted with the dry
rot'' owing chiefly to the fact
that the railroads have triumphed
over the rivers. Those who indulge in that
sort of dreaming have studied the laws
which govern commerce to little purpose.
The war of the rebellion changed the path
ways of trade, and the poverty Of the South
has so far permitted Eastern cities to main
tain their advantage. But the South is not
always to be financially crippled, and in the
long run the navigable rivers will
ssert their superiority over railroads for
the transportation of the products of the
West to the seaboard, and thence to the
markets of the world. One of the supreme
requirements in solving the problem, was to
overcome the iobstructions to navigation
found at the mouth of the Mississippi river.
This has been accomplished by Captain james

still to be accomplished In the way of re-
trenchment and reform. Already the DEM
ocratic party has saved the country many mill
lions OF dollars. and many more millions may
be saved to the tax burdened people. The
practice of making permanent appropria-
tons" which in their nature are indefinite,
Ought to be- says the Sun, TAT once abol-
ished, with the single exception of the inter-
est on the public debt, about which there
can DO no discretion exercised. Under this
system, the secretary of the treasury regu-
lates the customs service without any super.
vision Of Congress, and millions are expend-
ed in other departments, wholly unknown
to the public, and indeed to Congress itself.
Take few illustrations, to show the work
ing of the system:
Between 1870 and 1878 the annua. appro-
priations for the war department aggregated
$3o9, 900, 900, and the permanent appropria-
tions not seen or heard of except by the ini-
tiated, summed up $50 600, 900. The annual
appropriations for tho customs SER
vice in the same period amounted to S62,-
100000, while the permanent appropria-
tions reached $104, 000, 900. In these eight
years the miscellaneous annual appropria-
tions voted were $265, 900 900, and the per-
manent appropriations s56, 100000. Here is
total of two hundred and sixteen millions,
in round numbers, under three heads of the
public service, for permanent appropriations
in eight years, not dollar of which passed
review or criticism in Congress.
This laxity, when fairly considered, is as
founding. Millions have been squandered
and stolen through the opportunities which
are thus afforded by a discretion that is
mostly exercized by subordinates. 1t is easy
to understand from this general statement
that many millions might be saved every
year with strict administration of the pub
lie service, while other millions could be
added to that large possible economy by q
reduction of the army to the wants of the
country. This ipart of the work laid out
for the majority at the next regular session
| in December.

B. Eads. This fast is set forth in
the following dispatch from Captain Eads,
and which was posted on Change in St
Louis, on Saturday last.
NEW ORLEANS. July IL, 1873,
"JoHN JACKSON, President Jetty Company:
I'm PLEASE lie announce on Change that the max
been secured, and officially certified to, name
": Thirty feet through the jetties, and 26 feet
through the shoal at the head of the pass.
Therefore the Mississippi river may be consid-
cred fully opened TO the commerce of the
world. JAMES B. EADs."
The announcement that Captain Eads'
contract with the Government is
completed will be hailed with supreme
satisfaction throughout the great West. 1t
dates new era in the commercial affairs in
the Mississippi valley. The farmers OF MIS-
souri,, Kansas aud Nebraska will no longer
burn their corn for fuel on account OF the
cost of railroad transportation to the sea-
board. With the mouth OF the Mississippi
open at all seasons OF the year
to ships of the largest class,
the question of the route for
the bulk of Western products is settled for
all time. As for money facilities, there
need be no anxiety. Money will go where
it is required for commercial enterprises,
and New Orleans will not be embarrassed on
that account. Hereafter the navigable
streams of the West will receive more atten-
ton from Congress. As other questions
become settled and are laid aside, the
West will demand her fair share of the
resources of the country to facilitate her
development, and she will be in position
to obtain all that is demanded. Via New
Orleans to the markets bordering on the
gulf and the Caribbean sea to the Yves;
Indias and Brazil, and to Europe, will be
the route; and it will not be difficult to
demonstrate when necessary that in every
instance the river route is the cheapest, and
in many the more expeditions.
