One of the large sixty-feet boats which
were built a few weeks ago on the banks Of
Tongue river, for the purpose of taking down
several thousand buffalo hides t. Bismarck,
has been wrecked near Tongue river. 1t
seems thai it struck a rock in mid-river and
broke completely through the middle. But
few hides were lost, however, as Mr.. Chap.
man had them so tied together that in case OF
accident no loss would ensue. The boat is
irreparable. Yellowstone Journal.

Sam Brannan the old California nione,

Sam Grammar the old California pioneer is
now in San Francisco. He came up from
his Mexican possessions for the purpose of
arranging matters for the completion OF the
survey of his lands down there. He says he
has,eighty- -Four square leagues of the best land
in the state of Sonora. He proposes to sur
vey the farming lands in tracts of 100 acres
and give every alternate tract and city lot to
actual settlers upon payment of the proper
tional cost of survey. He scouts the idea that
General Grant is laying the wires for a fill
clustering expedition into Mexico and gives as
his reason that the General is President of the
Southern Mexican Pacific railroad company
which is building a road from the Pacific
ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. The railroad
being backed by New York capital he holds
that Grant desires above all things peace be-
tween the United States and Mexico and per-
feet quiet in Mexico itself. He speaks of his
grand land project in hopeful terms and
claims to have so by 100 miles of good min
eral lands within his grant that promises
great richness. Sam was always fortunate
when he was not otherwise.

CHARACTER OF IMMIGRATION

The immense number of immigrants that
are thus mentioned in a recent issue of the
Comw.e. cal Bulletin of that city:
The immense immigration at this port
within the last day or two has overlooked the
ordinary limits of Castle Garden and the
Battery, into lower Broadway. In the vicin-
lty of the Bulletin olhce, one morning this
week, that great thoroughfare resembled
Hamburg, Bremen or Copenhagen or an Ital-
ian rather than an American city. Teutons
and Scandinavians literally had possession of
the sidewalks, and almost as many languages
were heard as at the building of Babel. An
unusual feature was the very large proportion
of elderly women and little children, in
family groups. Among this multitude were
comparatively few from the British Isles !;
the great majority being Germans, Swiss,
Italians, oWedes. Danes and NOrwcgians.
There could be no installing their robust
physique - thoroughly seasoned. as their
brOnZed. Weather-beaten faces betokened, by
hard. outdoor work at home: but withal
there was an air of detection, if not sadness,
about them thu. seemed to reflect the infu
ence Of lon; years of grinding toll and bond
age in countries where the population are the
merest hewers OF wood and drawers of water
for their rulers. Mer and women alike had
sombre countenances, and the little ones by
their side had a prematurely old aspect, I'M
relieved by anything approaching the child
ish glee which new sights and scenes ordina
riIy are apt to incite. Nevertheless, the
great west, whittier they are all bound, can
not have a more valuable nor a more oppor-
tune acquisition to its industrial forces, and it
will not be long before the fact is made appa-
rent in the increase of every form Of its ma
| terial wealth.

Commander Gorringe, who brought the
Egyptian obelisk to New York city and sue
cessfulIy placed it in its present resting place,
has been rendered by Mayor Grace the posi-
ton of the head of the street cleaning de-
partment. The commander declines OH the
ground that the law that has been framed at
Albany is a trick and a fraud and that under
its provisions clean streets are an impossible
ty. In making this charge, Commander Cor
ringe strikes the New York republican legis-
lature a blow full in its face. The Times,
without denying the allegation, holds that by
some hook or crook not explainable, the
streets may be cleaned under the law and
hopes the opportunity may be improved. Wis.
itors to the great city will join the Times in
its "hopes."

' 1t will be seen that our statues provide a
way by which private lands may be occupied
for public use and though the owners of lands
may object a company by complying with
the provisions of the law may build a road
thereon. No one man or set of men can stop
the building of a railroad. 1t is a maxim in
political economy that private rights
aud interests must give way when necessary
to insure the public good, and as longs as public
enterprises for the public good are engaged
in, just so long must private interests yield
to public good when they come in conflict
with it. Every farmer knows that his neigh
bors cannot fence him in and block his way
to the public roads. The law gives him the
right of way across his neighbours field. 1t
tells him how to Obtain that right of way
and how the damages which his neighbor
may suffer shall be assessed against him.
Ditch and fume companies have the right OF
way guaranteed to them, under our laws, for
the building of their ditcnes and fumes. In
fact no public enterprise can be choked OIL
by the unreasonable demands of an obstinate
party. When all attempt is made to do it,
the obstructionist is apt to learn. when too
late, that he is "kicking against the pricks."

THE FEELING IN THE SOUTH.

The manner In which President Garfield
IS annoyed by the Malone stripe Of Virginia
politicians, the discoufaging effect that Conk'
ling's fight has upon southern republicans
and the consequent Frightening of the hopes
of southern democrats are told by the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Eve
ming Mail. In his letter under date of the
oath ult. he says: politicians and office
seekers are still here in considerable force,
Virginia, whose territory is adjacent to that
of the District, and whose people are con-
stantly coming and going in large swarms,
has, as usual, a big array of all sorts on hand
worrying the president aud departments in
every imasin able way. Some want offices.
Some want to know how the president feels
toward the approaching Virginia campaign,
and others still are idling away their time in
waiting, Micawber-like, for something to
turn up.
All Virginians here, together with southern
republicans in general, are wearing a dis
couraged appearance. Conkling's war, they
say, has revived the democratic heart in every
part of the south, and that again beats high
with hopes of coming victories.
The booming of Conkling's guns at Albany
strikes on the ears of these southern people
like a fire-bell at night. Remarks falling
from southern lips may be heard on every
side saying Conkling has killed our chances
His war has made the democrats of our Sec
ton a unit and then the inquiry will be
heard, is there no way to crush out this .op-
position to the administration and insure to
the party a permanent peace. Indeed, the
effect of Conkling's, rebellion seems such
that a republican congressman from the south
assured ME this morning that if a presiden-
tial election were now to take place and the
democratic candidate were a man like Justice
Field of the Supreme Court, or even Senator
Bayard, there would be practically no op-
position from republicans in his section. File
aid that Justice Fields majority on the pop
ular vote would be fully half a million in
the country at large ever the most popular of
our republican leaders.
There is a gathering Of readjuster leaders
i'll the city to-day preparatory to their con-
vention, which meets in Richmond on the
second of June. Amongst them are two
members of congress from Virginia belong,
ing to the party yesterday one Of the con-
gressmen called on the president and held an
interview with him of considerable duration.
On leaving, he requested the appointment OF
a Virginia republican to the place OF Kenneth
Raynor, solicitor of treasury. Should: Ray,
nor, who is now an aged man of somewhat
impaired faculties be removed, it is quite GER
tain his position will be lied by a southern
man, as IT representatives. Of that section have
lately set up a somewhat angry howl over
their alleged unfair treatment in recent ap.
pointments. Their real cause Of grievance
seems, however, under the circumstances, to
be small"

NO SENATOR YET.

Up to yesterday fourteen ballots
were taken in the Legislature fo- Unit
ed States Senator without a choice
being made. Mr.. Grow not only holds
his first vete but has increased on the
same. In the vote of last Saturday
there were but six OF q difference be-
tween him and Oliver. divers vote
has fallen of considerably from that
first received by him The only thing
that seems certain is that he cannot be
elected. The Democrats so far hold of
and vote for their own man. If they
continue to do so the Republicans will
have TO unite on compromise man or
there will be no election this session
1t is rumored the machine men will
endcavor to have an adjournment Of
the Legislature before the 4th OF
March, so as to give the Governor the
power TO appoint Senator when they
hope 10 get Oliver appointed. But
this 10 not likely to succeed. 1t is
more likely new man will be settled
upon by the Republicans, and the hope

REV. BITrINGER's lecture in the
Court House on Monday evening last
was full Of interest on the subject Of
early child training. The "Kindergar-
ten" as established and used IN Germa-
ny end proposed to be introduced in
this Country, has for its object, as ex-
planned by REV BITTINaER, the prop
or employment of the minds of children
while of too tender years to be sent to
school. 1t is based on a system of OBJ
ject teaching and If practiced in every
home would certainly be productive Of
good results. While it is difficult to
see how the kindergarten, or child's
garden, could be successfully operated
In schools with children so young as
three or four years Of age, yet it could
be by parents at their homes, and It
seems to us therefore a step in educa-
tion in the right direction for young
children.

Another Enoch Arden has

Another Enoch Arden has turned
up in Michigan. Hiram n. Potts. with
hia wife and four little children, lived
in Battle Creek twenty-one years ago.
The family exchequer running low and
California gold excitement going high,
it was determined that Hiram should
seek his fortune beyond the plains. AZ
ter many tears and misgivinga came
the parting. Mails were aoae TOO rap
id or regular In these days, and the
long intervals grew still longer. Then
the letters stopped altogether. Two
of the children died, and the mother and
her two remaining little ones found it
difficult to procure the necessari2S OF
life. She removed to Galeshurg, whore
she wrote to her husband Informing
him Of her new address, but the missive
never reached its destination. The
husbands letters were addressed TO
Rattle Greek, and of course were never
called for. He was thought by his
family to.be dead In time the widow
married again to thriving merchant,

LET THE PEOPLE ELECT.

Hon. Harry White, in Congress, de-
serves the thanks of all people and
parties for introducing the subject of
change in the United States Constitu-
tion. so that United States Senators
shall be elected by the people. The
time is ripe for this change. The peo.
Pile of Pennsylvania will hail itas great
deliverance. This high Office equal only
to the Presidency in ouropinion, is, we
can almost say, now bought and sold
in nearly every State Of the Union.
This results from the fact that they are
elected by few men, the members OF
the Legislature, and the temptation is
great to make money or procure places
for themselves or friends for their votes
Many Of them are unacquainfed with
the candidates and care but little who
is chosen. Hence, when it becomes
known that a candidate is rich and is
willing to spend money, he will always
have followers and votes. Indeed, 1t
is often the Sc that rich men are pur-
posely solicited to become candidates
for that high Office in order that they
may be plucked of some ofthem felther-.
There have been cases in Pennsylvania
of this kind, aud is insisted by many
that that is what brought out and is
keeping Mr.. Oliver, of Pittsburgh, in
the field now. Were he not wealthy
man his name probably would never
have been thought of, neither by Kim
self or his friends. We presume this
will be admitted. The principal claim
made for him is that of spending freely
and giving literally to campaign funds
at the last election. And it is possible
that those who at Harrisburg are now
running the machine" for him are do
ing so for their own gain and his certain
loss One thing is certain, money now
overtops ability in the selection of
United States Senators. All this will
be remcdied il the people have the cleo
ting of them We hope Gen. White
will press on his resolution with all
possible speed. Tie Legislatures of
the States are now generally in session
and now would be most favorable
time for Congress to pass and send the
proposed change to them for their ap-
proval. And We have no doubt the
proposed change would b, approved.
No honest member of the Legislature
would think Of opposing the change,
but on the contrary would gladly be
relieved Of that d9ty. The dishonest
member and the ring men who run the
machine to run out the man for United
States Senator who gives them the
most money, they Of course would OF
pose the change Will Congress act
on this important matter by passing
the resolution providing for change
in the Constitution and giving the cleo
tion of said Senators to TIE people
Sooner or later 1t must come TO that.
The following il the amendment pro
posed by Gen. Whites resolution:
Resolved, BY the Senate and House
