THE RIVER CONVENTION.
Consulting About the Improve
ment of the MiSSiSsiDni.

ST.. LOUIS, October 26.-The Mississip-
pi River Improvement Convention met
at the Grand Opera House at half past
eleven this morning. About five hun.
dred delegates were present from all the
States in the Valley, aud considerable
number of prominent gentlemen occu-
pied seats as specially invited guests.
Michael McEnnis, President OF the Lo-
cal Executive Committee, also President
of the St. louis Merchants Exchange,
called the Convention to order.
George l.. Wright, Secretary
Of the Executive Committee, then
read the call for the Con-
vention, after which Mr.. McEnnis
spoke as follows: "As chairman OF the
Executive Committee appointed by the
Merchants Exchange Of st. Louis, under
whose authority this call has been issued,
it devolves upon me to call this conven.
ton to order. The language of the call
sufficiently explains the objects and aims
OF the convention. 1t is strange that at
this late day there should be necessity
for calling the people Of this valley to-
gethcr to urge upon Congress
the duty and obligation to
enact measures for the improvement
Lf the Mississippi and its navigable
tributaries. The people OF the United
States are famous for their public spirit
and enterprise. Every subject involy-
ing The interest or happiness OF the peo'
pie receive die attention, except alone
the question that has brought us togeth-
er-l mean the improvement OF our
great water ways"
Mr.. McEnnis then proceeded to speak
of the importance OF the work, Of the
vast production of the Mississippi Val
ley and Of It's capabilities if the river
were properly improved. He said !:
"a commission has been appointed and
is now at work within the limits OF the
appropriations and doing good work.
The time is now arrived when we, the
people of the Mississippi Valley, must
unite and insist that these improve
ments shall be pushed forward with
vigor and that sufficient money shall be
appropriated to permit work TO be in
aueurated at all necessary points at one
and the same time"
Mr.. Henry Hitchcock next delivered
an address OF welcome to the delegates
and invited guests.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Routine Business and Preparations for
Adjournment.


WASHINGTON, October Ex-senator
Ransom offered a resolution providing
that the power and authority vested in
the Committee on Commerce by rese-
luton adopted May 9th, 1881, with rel.
erence to inquiry into the condition OF
the Potomac river at Washington, ID.
c., be continued during the ensuing
recess, and that the committee report
of December next be adopted.
Mr.. Butler offered resolution direct
ing the Committee on Printing to in.
quire why the agricultural reports for
1850 have not been distributed to Con
gress. Adopted.
Mr.. Sherman called up resolution,
offered by him yesterday, for investiga-
ton into the disbursements OF the con-
tiugent fund of the Treasury Depart
ment, after having modified 1t so as to
read as follows:
ResOIred, That the Committee on Ap-
preparations be directed TO investigate
the accounts for expenditures for
several appropriations for contingent or
other expenses of the several depart
ments, including the methocs oil max
ing such disbursements, the charact r
and disposition of the purchases made,
and the employment and labor paid
from such appropriations, and to report
at as early q day as practicable what
further legislation is necessary to secure
proper disbursements OF such approprl-
tions, and that the committee nave
leave to send for persons and papers and
to sit during the recess OF the Senate.
The resolution was adopted, and on Mr..
Sherman's motion the Meline report
was referred to the Committee on Ap-
preparations.
The Senate then went into executive
session.
When the doors reopened Senate ad'
iourned.

establishment of the garrison and the
campaigns against the Indians bringing

however, gold or Spanish dollars, did
not relieve the difficulty, and the result
was the settlers coined their own money

parts, worth 25 and l2i cents respective.

the congratulations Of the faithful.
Gen. Tom Young seems 10 be nearest
the throne OF any OF our local politi.
clans, and the result will probably be q
new deal in all the Federal appoint
ments kere, as Tom is Stalwart, aud
has done swearing vengeance on the
r.ng.
The iron workers who have been on a
strike since June, have, it is announced
tonight, finally compromised with tine
mill owners, aud will probably be Al
work in few days. The matter would
have been settled long since bSSt for out It
offered Pittsburgh prices, and it va,
refused. The basis OF compromise, as
understand it is, that the men are to re-
ceive the Pittsburgh scale, and bs allow
ed time for changing the rollers. There
were over two thousand men out on the
strike, who have been out since June.
So you can estimate what it has cost.
Wish you would ask your intelligent
compositor where, upon this mundane
sphere, "Gunsboro" is located? tried
my level best TO write Greensboro in
my former letter, but-well it don't
matter, only il was in reach OF him
would probably want to whisper to him
for moment. loRiCK.
