turned into Millcreek above the Stock
yards, there would be furnished miles of
wharf-room in the valley to the west of the
city; the locks and waste water would fur
niSh water-power worth hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars; the great bottoms of that
section, now unused and comparatively
valueless, would be covered with manufac-

$24, 639 were expended in the South. The
Deputy Marshal Laws are not

owners of mines, either personally, or
through their agents, have controlled the
votes Of their operatives, compelling them
to vote as they were ordered, or be dis
charged from their places, and adds that
the Seitz Law meets just such cases as this
The Commercial pays its respects to the
Democratic party and says we all know
how men fossilize in opinions, and at last
become incapable of receiving new truths.
