THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The Reserrtor and Kindred Steals Likely
tobe the Death of 1t.
Washington Special Feb. u


tobe the Death oft.
Washington Special Feb. II
Sunset Cox made terrible onslaught
on the river and harbor appropriation
bill to-day, and through the force of his
telling blows, sandwiched with the keen
est wit, fairly lampooned the bill Of the
court, and for the present at least, has
defeated it. The bill appropriates over
slO,Ooo,ooo. 1t was formulated in COM
mittee room after the manner Of a star
chamber proceeding, and was as neat a
piece of anticipated plunder as was ever
intended to be saddled upon the country.
Nearly every river and harbor bill
which has been passed during the last
decade has been steal. The manner Of
preparing the bill has been for the COM
merce committee to hold daily sessions,
and have Congressman who want slice
of the .swag come before them and
look after their interests. Hence
every Congressman who had mill by a
dam site managed to get id sight
more into the bill than wise economy sug-
gested; and the result is that the aggre-
gate of s1O, 900, 900 was reached before all
the BOYS "got in" Of course, those who
failed to get in assumed the garb of high
toned virtue, and made up their minds to
slaughter it if they could.
When Reagan, who is chairman of the
commerce committee, threw the bill into
the House to-day he thought it had been
sufficiently log-rolled to secure not only
two-thirds but three-fourths of the
House. Cox tackled it with vengeance.
He had evidently been preparing for a
week. Every assertion he made was
backed by figures, which don't lie, to bear
him testimony. He demonstrated that OF
the $40, 900, 900 sought to be appropriated
members of the committee had gobbled
over S5,0OO,0O0, and the bal:
ance had heen voted to rivers of so little
Importance as not to be assigned any po-
sit1on geographically on the map. The
tenor of the whole speech was to demon
strate that the bill was wanton waste
of the public money, and should not be
passed. 1t was noticeable, too, that no
one came to the rescue of the bill, ex.
cept the members of the committee which
framed it; and, it having been known
that they had an interest in about hall
the swag, such defense fell like a feathers
weight in the light of the crusade Cox
had made against it.
The bill was defeated by yeas 100, nays

pull through, debate upon it will serve

Funeral Ceremonies of General

Demonstration.

SAN Francisco, March 19;-In the Kali
loch trial Alexander Campbell opened his
argument for the prosecution this morning.
1t is not at all likely that the case will go
to the jury before early next week.
The funeral of General E. Upton to-day
was the largest military demonstration
since the obsequies Of General Candy.
Three thousand sabers and muskets were
in line. The ceremony began at Preside,
where, at 2 p. NJ, the remains were re-
ceived with honors, and escorted by the
Fourth Artillery, 600 strong, and taken to
Van Ness avenue, where the second bri-
gade of the National Guard, Brigadier
General McComb commanding, met the
cortege and escorted it to the Washington
street wharf. AT that point the body was
put on board the Government tug Cen
eral Mcpherson, and taken to the Oakland
wharf, with a guard of honor from the
Fourth Artillery. There the remains will
be guarded tonight, and forwarded East
under charge of Captains John Egan and
John D. Campbell of the Fourth Artillery,
tomorrow. The pail bearers were Major
General Irwin Mcdowell, U. S. A., Major
General W. Fl. l.. Barnes of the National
Guard, Colonel A. V. Kuntz Of the Eighth
Regular Infantry, Colonel w. R. Smedburg

tillery, U. s. A. Along the line of the pro-
cession flags were displayed at half-mast
on a great. number OF the buildings, and
along the water front there were flags on

THE LAND OF MONTEZUMA.
How IL is Being Settled by n COsmo-
poiftan People.

Various reasons, principally the compile
ton of the Santa Fe Railroad, says the
Albuquerque IN. M Journal, is causing
a large immigration to set towards New
Mexico. The climate of this Territory is
so mild and equable that invalids from all
parts of the country are fiocking hither.
The mines attract another large class.
Sheep raising and stock growing present
irresistible charms to all who admire a free,
easy life, with large returns for the isola-
ton attaching to the business. However,
the greatest attraction which is causing
thousands to move to this Territory is the
glamour of romance hanging over the
CANYONS and mountains of the land OF
Montezuma. For a hundred years this Ter
ritory has been the ~favorite American local
ity where the writer of fiction located his
story. The Rio Grande valley is as ia
miliar to the American schoolboy as the
Hudson or Mississippi. To legend and
story this Territory owes its early settle
ment by immigrants from the States. Now
that has superseded romance.
and all the elements that go to make up
q State are eommingling in the stream
coming this way, it is easy to predict what
the future of this favored land will be.
Its valleys will be cultivated, its hills COW
cred with flocks and herds, its mountains
tunneled for the precious metals, and its
people will be the most liberal, generous
and enterprising Of the United States. 1t
is interesting to watch this stream of i'm
migration from the standpoint of apolitical
economist. Here the descendants of Spanish
cavaliers and the Anglo-Saxons are meet
ing as citizens of a Republic, and harmoni-
ously building up the fabric Of free gov
eminent. Coming down to this decade, we
here see ~fraternizing the John Brown
Kansas Republican and the Breckenridge
Kentucky Democrat. The Massachusetts
Puritan is, perhaps, a partner in a mine or
a sheep ranch, with the Texas Ranger.
Politics is a thing afar off, and with a few
explosives directed toward the Interior
Department and the army, the whole sub
ject is dismissed, and specimens" and
corner lots are the subjects Of general
remark and public concern. Some may
doubt that Providence has time to look
over the affairs of regions remote as this,
but we shall not give up the belief for a
few weeks yet, and it is our opinion that
He has reserved for development in this
Territory one Of the fairest gems in the

THE MALONE BARGAIN.

The leading Republican paper of Cali
fornia. the Sacramento Record Union,
gives the following fair estimate OF Sen
ator Malone We cannot see in the
change Of base made by Senator Malone
any cause for congratulation. 1t IS
freely alleged that he has made his bar
gain with the Republicans, and that this
bargain includes the surrender to him OF
the Federal patronage in Virginia. Now
Senator Malone is the leader in his State
of a faction calling themselves Readjust-
ers, but they are in fact Regulators.
These people advocate the swindling of
the States creditors unfortunately q
too common Southern policy. If there
fore the Administration of President
Garfield gives the Federal patronage of
Virginia to Senator Malone, it follows
that the Administration is giving its aid
to support the doctrine of reputation.
Thus we have two very serious faults. In
the first place, it must be admitted that
President Garfield would have lost very
little time in forgetting the promise of
his inaugural address if he should hand
over the patronage Of a State to M Of
the Senators in order to further a purely
partisan arrangement. In the second
place, President Garfield would render
himself liable to the accusation, by doing
this, that he had separated himself
altogether from the financial record and
principles of Congressman Garfield. The
latter was known as a stanch advocate of
honest finances. He was an uncompro-
missing foe of reputation in all its Pro-
team forms. Can it then be believed that
he has consented to a bargain which, for
SO purely a partisan object, barters away
both the public interest in the civil ser
vice and his own consistency IN questions
of finance? If this is indeed the case, it
will have to be acknowledged that the Re-
publicans have paid an ~extravagant price
for Senator Mahone's vote on organiza-
ton, and it must be doubted very
seriously whether the game will in the
end pay for the candle. 1t is a fact, in
our humble opinion, that it would have
been much better to let the Democrats
organize the Senate than to defeat their
plans at SO lamentable a cost.
