THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER C0NVEN.
TION.

We think that the Mississippi river i'm
proyement convention, which lately met in
New Orleans, acted wisely and prudently
in combining its attention strictly to the OBJ
ject for which it was convened. Its infu-
ence would have been weakened and, per-
haps wasted had 1t undertaken to advocate
and press upon the notice Of congress and
the country, the various other matters
which were submitted for its consideration.
These matters are very important and will,
no doubt, receive, IN due time, the at
tention to which they are entitled.
Just now, however, we are chiefly inter-
ested IN the improvement Of the navigation
of the Mississippi river and its tributaries.
The lower Mississippi valley states have
been working so long and so earnestly for
its measure that they can hardly afford to
agltate other matters however necessary to
their interests they may be, until its success
is assured. Of course, the improvement of
the navigation Of the Mississippi river and
its tributaries includes the repairing and
rebuilding of the levees Of these streams,
because no system tor the
improvement OF their navigation
would be successful or satisfac-
tory which did not provide protection
against overhows. General Gbson's bill,
now before congress, meets the views and
wishes of this section, and is, we believe,
very generally acceptable to the entire Mis-.
sissppi valley. At the next session Of con-
gress this bill will come up for action, and
there is reason for thinking that it will be
passed. The fact that congress authorized
the appointment of the Mississippi river
commission, and the additional fact that
this bill Is in harmony with the report of
that commission, encourages the belief
that it will meet with no very serious OPP
position. 1t will not do, however, for us
to relax our efforts in its behalf. The
work of the convention which has just adj
joprned must be supplemented by active
aid unremittiug efforts in every state where
public opinion can be influenced in favor
Of the BILL and also in congress, where in

For several months, and particularly
since cotton commenced moving, steam
boat owners have been threatened with
very serious trouble. The trouble
is the unreasonable demands of the roust.
abouts in the matter Of wages. At first,
their demands were moderate, but EN-.
boldened by success and the belief that
their services could not be dispensed with,
their demands became excessive and
beyond all reason, They now want from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty dol
lars month, and often coolly announce
their intention to quit the boats if their
rates are not paid. Of course the boats
cannot afford to pay any such wages. They
are carrying good deal of freight, it is
true, but they are not making any money
on account of the low rates of
freight. The steamboat owners met in
New Orleans the other day, and resolved
to tie up the boats rather than submit to
the extortions of the roustabouts. They
have sent to Louisville, st. Louis and other
points for hands, and may be able to get
along without the roustabouts in a few
days One thing seems to be pretty GER
tain, and that is that they will make no
further concessions to the roustabouts.
They feel that they had better stop run
ming their boats than to run them at a loss.

THE FIRE YESTERDAY.
1T DESTROYED RICRETY OLD BUILDING
WITH A HISTORY.

IT DESTROYED RICKETY OLD BUILDING
WITH HISTORY.
At about three o'clock yesterday after
noon, the bells of our various fire COM
panies set up vigorous CHATTER, which set
the lazy limbs of the idlers in motion and
called our peoplqtrom their business houses
and residences into the streets. 1t was
soon discovered that an old two.story frame
building, situated back of John Saoaxberg-
er's, and fronting on Railroad Strip, be-
tween Eighth and Tenth streets, was the
cause of all the commoton, and i'm
mediately upon this discovery being made,
the people, impellcd doubtless by the
laudable desire to exhnguish the flames
and not by curiosity, made for the place as
one man. The engines, too, soon made
their appearance and played upon the
house with the usual vigor while the five
or six negro families, who inhabited the
building were removing their furniture
from the lower story. The Arabs obtained
the first water and by the aid Of the other
companies they succeeded in saving the
lower portion OF the structure. How the
fire originated is not positively
known even by the inhabitants, but
the general supposition is that it originated
from defective tlue The building was
the property of Mrs. A. Neff and was valu-
ed at about three or four hundred dollars
Learning that the building vas very
old one and that there was an interesting
history connected with it which Mr.. VIM.
Lonergan could furnish, we called on
that gentleman, after the fire had been
extinguished, in the hope OF obtaining
from him the particulars concerning it, for
the benefit of our readers.
We found him at "home" and willing to
impart the desired information.

houses. There was heavy chimney on
my house which, after the water had risen
nearly to the second story, concluded to

near the Ohio levee. With this idea in
view, commenced tearing down the chin

job, when looking out Of the window OBJ

formerly stood, and upon examination
found that it had floated to the corner of

by u strong south wind which was blowing.
