general crusade upon tugs and all
steam crafts has been determined
upon. The information is said to
come direct from Washington. Tho

steamboat service is. AS near as
can be learned the movement is
nothing less than full investiga-

on the lakes, the western rivers, and
on the Atlantic and Pacific coast.

now the Democrats expect to repro
duce it by the hundred thousand.
