the Nashville & Chattanooga railroad held a
meeting at their office to-day to ratity the
sale of the Indiana & Illinois division and the
st. Louis & Southeastern to the Louisville &

Sheriff Moon received n telegram from
Sheriff William Warden, of Collin county,
yesterday, stating that Bob McWhorter, who
stands indicted here for horse-stealing, had
been captured and was in Jail at Cambridge,
Clay county, he having received telegram
from the Sheriff of that county to that

The capais issued on the indictment was
issued over one year ago, and had been chas-

case, having operated in ill-gotten horse-aesh
more or less over the entire of

be 2ii6 inches, and that mean will apply to
TO the Mud lake, Nermillion and Pokagnma

II has been demonstrated by 4 series Of
mathematical problems that in the dry
season the discharge of water from the pro-
posed reservoirs would add TO tue volume Of
water in the Mississippi to an almost ihcredi-
| BILE amount.

agriculture large tracts OF land between

A very favorable report is also made Ms TO
the practicabilty Of storing waters AT the

necessary dams here would be $3.50, 100 -,
although all these estimates are mere approx

To return to the effect of dalRming the
seven lakes at the head waters of the Missis-
sippi, il ls estimated that 6,i00 cubic feet
would he added to the natural tov passing
St. Paul. This would give AT least II, 200 Gu
bic feet of water second past this point for
100 DAYS of low.water navigation. The dams
at the head of the St, Croix river would add
AIS cubic feet second for 30 days. and
those at the head of the Chippewa $500 GU
bic feet per second for 30 days of low water.
The total cost of dams in this river would be

The difficulty with the Wisconsin river
seems to consist in finding storage capacity
for water. While the St. Croix offers sites
for fourteen dams, and the Chippewa for
twelve, locations for only six can be found
Mt the head-waters of the Wisconsin. The
total cost of these, it is estimated, will be

point in the final vote. The course
which Senator Thurman will pursue is
watched with much interest, for the
final vote will be determined by the
position he takes for or against Mr..
Kellogg in the discussion. The iney.
liable Indian question has caused a
temporary suspension OF the debate.
As in antebellum times the subject OF
slavery overshsdowcd all other ques.
tions, so now the mention of the Indian
is sure to cause "A speech or controversy

1t Is gratifying to US to note the
change of feeling toward the District Of
Columbia on the part OF the House.
Now we are honored with a separate
appropriation bill, which was most cour.
teously treated, instead OF having our
needs stuck in one corner of the regular
appropriation bill by the Ways and
Means Committee, where it became the
recipient Of as many kicks and cuffs as
Nicholas Nickleby got from the Squeers
family. This new departure indicates
that we are to have, in the future, an
unquestioned recognition of our rights
in connection with the Government.
We do not ask for suffrage, but we do
claim that, iDasmuch as the Govern.
ment holds one. half the realty OF the
District, it should place itself on the
same basis of taxation and expenditure
that we occupy. This is only equitable,
and now that il is assured, we are happy.
The House devoted an evening OF the
week 10 the Pension Court bill, and the
opening speech upon it by Mr. Geddes,
of Ohio, was a mastery effort in its ex.
position of the necessity for judicial
tribunal TO determine the rights OF sol.
diers and their heirs TO pension, where
their claims thereto have been rejected
by the Pension Office. IL is physically
impossible, he showed, for Congress to
attempt giving the proper redress, and,

On Saturday last, Col. Thomas A..
Scott sent in his resignation as presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad
company to the board of directors of
that corporation, to take effect on the
1st day of June next. 1t is said this
action on the part of Col. Scott Great
ed but little surprise for the reason
that it was understood the state of his
health might soon render it necessary
for him to retire from active partici-
patton in the business of the company.
In taking this step he has acted solely
under the advice of his physicians.
1t is supposed that the successor of
Col. Scott will be George B. Roberts,
at present 1st Vice President of the
company. The following is the letter
of resignation:

inseparable from the position. | had
hoped to continue in the service of the

Under the advice referred 10, this is no
longer practicable. 1t has not been with
out much careful thought that / have
reached this conclusion as the one best not
only for myself, but for the interests of the
company, as / feel that the duties of your
chief executive can only be properly per-
formed by one in thoroughly strong health

GENTLY in all emergencies that may arise.

which have associated with them the most

In Tesigning the trust with which. the
shareholders and board have honored me,
feel sure that the property will be safely
and wisely administered by those who may
be my successors, and can only add that
with its present high standard, both physi-
cally and financially, n faithful adherence
TO the conservative policy set forth in your
last annual report, will in my judgment
