The shipments by river are taken from
the returns ofthe Kanawha River Board.
The shipments are much larger, in fact,
than the returns made 10 the Board by
shippers. Forlnstance, tho report OF the
Cincinnati Board Of Commerce for the
year 1878. ending August 81, 1873, shows
the delivery and receipt OF Kanawha
river coal at that market alone Of {, 707, 39l
bushels, while the report OF the Kanawba
River Board only shows the shipment of
5,lsS,g5O bushels out Of the Kanawha
river TO all points below the mouth OF The
river, during that year, The Kanawha
shippers are not required by law to fur
nish exact accounts Of their shipments.
They arc not required to make their re-
turns under oath, norris there any penalty
for Justification OF their returns. By re-
turning less than they ship they save SO
much toll.
Comparison Of henavigable condition Of
the Kanawha and Upper Ohio rivers, with
reference to the coal trade.
From daily examination Of the Ohio
river, nude in Pittsburgh, and OF the
Kanawha river, made at Charleston, under
tho direction Of the Department OF Engi.

table shows the average stage of water for

neer Q. s., p, 054.) The largest shipment
Of coal from Pittsburgh, for any one year,
was s80Se, 500 bushels. This quantity dis.
tributed among their lO7 towboats gives
about $4,000 bushels annually to each
towboat, and divided amongst their 5000

In the Kanawha coal trade there arr
seven towboats and about $50 barges, and

for the nomination. But he further says
the fight Is to be expected. al never got
anything yet without a fight" We infer
from these remarks that Hon. Hans.
Good, Jake Jackson, Dan johnson and a
few others We could name, had better be
looking sharp, or they will be exclaiming
as the colored gemmen did after he came
to consciousness, when hit with brick:

A DRSPAIRING EDITORIAL FROM POOR HoR-
NER, or THE PARKERsBURG SENTINEL.
From our exchanges we notice that Col.
Ben. Wilson has announced himself as a
candidate for reelection TO Congress next
year, and is already al work TO secure the
nomination, confident that nomination
Is equivalent to an election. Up TO this
time there seems 10 be no one 10 oppose
him. Col, Alex. Campbell is a candidate,
b4tthere IS bond OF fellowship between
the two Colonies that makes the Pan
handle Colonel back out when the Har.
rison county Colonel Is in the field. The
Wheeling Register appears to favor Col
Ben's canvass, notwithstanding 1t called
him a mule not long ago, hence
we hear nothing Of any other person
Hans Good and W. l.. Lively, are still quiet
but they may make their appearance al
the proper time, and as the former always
has large following he Is able to make 6
very interesting fight for somebody. Wood
county will undoubtedly present the name
tot "Jake" Jackson to the convention and
ask that his superior ability be suitably
recognized and his fidelity to party re-
warded. Col. Dan. johnson will, OF course
be candidate and we suppose with the
usual result. Tyler county will probably
vote three times for him and then go oyel
to Col. Wilson.
Joe. Gallaher is strong man, but he
has always heretofore refused to allow his
name to come before convention and he
can hardly be called a candidate. AmonG
those whose names have been quietly
mentioned in connection with the place L
Col. Bill Thompson, OF Parkersburg. He
comes from Congressional stock, but has
never yet gone in to win." We do moi
know that he has any such intentions
though several Of his friends have, in talk
ing fthe subject, frequently, brought hil
name prominently forwardas man who
could make the fight interesting for some
body.
There are great many dark horses
Bill Hubbard, John Jeens Davis and Boil
Blair-but their chances are yet too slim
TO be considered, though either one of thu
three would do the State no harm as {
representative.

The Future of New Orleans.
fMohfIa Raristarl

The city of New Orleans has the prospect
of an early completion of the Morgan Road
to Houston and the Louisiana Pacific Road to
Shreveport. At Shreveport she is In con-
nection with Fort Worth by the Texas Pacific
Road, and at Houston she is In connection
with San Antonio. And now we learn that
President Diaz, of Mexico is well disposed to
give charter to the American contractors
seeking concessions for a road from the Rio
Grande to the capital 1t Is said that Mr., Sui
livan's scheme for such a road would have
been approved by the Mexican Congress last
winter II that body could have been assured
of his ability TO put the project in operation.
1t seems to be evident that Diaz is willing to
establish much more friendly relations be-
tween his republic and ours than now exist,
and the time ought to be a proper one for
pushing the negotiations, in order to avail
ourselves of the Presidents great influence,
popularity and administrative skill. His
term expires In 1881, and his successor may be
as hostile to our interests as DiaZ appears to
be favorable to them.
These connections with Texas and with
Mexico present brilliant future to the Cres-
cent City

The Senate Of North Carolina, on the 10th
ult., reduced the Governors salary to $4,000.
likewise the salary Of the Secretary of State
was fixed at $4,000; and that of the State Au-
ditor at $i7O0 The Treasurers salary was
fixed at $4,000, and the Attorney General gets
only $4,000. TheJudges Of the Superior Court
each get a salary Of $25Go, and they are not
allowed any compensation for extra sessions
of court. The people of North Carolina are
I'm far more prosperous condition than the
people Of Louisiana are, and yet the latter
have to pay nearly three times the amount OF
the salaries above named to the officers In
this State. There is neither justice, reason or
reform in any such extravaganza. Let the
battle cry Of the people be, dorm ,eith me adta-
