Traffic on the Mississippi.

Capt. Eads, of jetty fame, is naturally
enthusiastic over the traffic possibilities
of the Mississippi, because of the now
conceded success of the jetties at the
South Pass, where he claims there are
90 feet of water at low tide, so that the
largest vessels can come into port
at any time, day or night Capt. Eads
claims that the shipments of grain from
the mouth. of the river has increased
from less than half million bushels in
1875 to nearly twenty million bushels
during the last year, whilst the exports
of cotton have increased in nearly the
same ratio, the cost of transportation of
the latter to foreign ports having been
reduced at least 81 % per bale. Capt.
Eads, ON the authority of the leading
elevator and grain shipping merchants
of St. Louis, says the only drawback at
this moment to rapid and continuous
increase Of the grain carrying business
on the Mississippi is the lack of barge
capacity, but efforts are being made to
meet the wants of shippers, and that the
present state of affairs only goes to show
that strong and widespread apprecia-
ton of the advantages of the Mississippi
river as a channel of transportation has
taken hold out West. Capt. Eads thinks
it is perfectly practicable to secure for a
reasonable outlay 90 feet of water in the
river from Cairo down.

Proposed Presidential Election
Amaudmon$

The last number of the Nation con-
tains communication from Mr.. w. w.
Corcoran, the eminent Washington phi
lanthropist, proposing an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States. by
which it is to be provided that on the
meeting of Congress in December. 1884,
and every four years thereafter, the
House of Representatives shall elect
three members of the Senate, whose
names shall be placed cy the tellers in a
box and drawn therefrom by the Speak
er-the first drawn to be President of
the United States, the second Vice
President, and the third President
pro tenn. of the Senate, to succeed
each other in the same order in the event
of a vacancy by death or otherwise.
Mr.. Corcoran thinks that such an ar
rangement would raise the character of
the Senate, would prevent intrigue in
the management of political conventions
and would put an end to the turmoil of
Presidential elections. He adds that he
has seen all the Presidents except the
first, has held confidential relations with
many of them, and writes from the i'm
partial standpoint of private citizen
anxious only to promote the pub
lie good. His communication shows
that, though an octogenarian, he
still takes an intelligent and live
ly interest in all public questions.
That his plan would tend to elevate the
character of the Senate, from which body
the President and Vice President would
have to be selected, may be admitted,
but we think it will be difficult matter
to bring the American people to consent
to the proposed change While they
claim the right Of self-government,
they will prepare to exercise that right
rather than leave the selection of their
rulers to chance.

IMPORTANT TO TRUCK FARM
ERS.
How the Industry May BE En-
HANGED In the SOuth-A Canning
establishment for Savannah.

NEwBERN, N. c., May 25.-EditOr
Morning Neaos: The present season has
not been paying one for the truckers
at Newbern. 1t was caused in great
measure from the fact that Charleston
being late, flooded the Northern markets
with peas just as Newbern's first peas
were going in. Doubtless Charleston was
injured in the same way by Savannah
and Florida. In future this can be
avoided by putting up canning establish
ments at some point in Florida, at Sa-
vannah and at Charleston. A large
establishment is now in operation at
Newbern and one at Norfolk The ex-
pense of the necessary fixtures outside of
the steam boiler will not exceed $500 for
an establishment to turn out 5000 or
10, 900 cans day of canned goods. All
kinds of vegetables, fruits, strawberries
or oysters can be put up:
Doubtless thousands of bushels of
peas from Charleston have been sold
sold this season in the Northern markets
for less money than the freight on them.
If these peas had been canned at Charles
ton it would have been profitable bust
ness, instead of total loss to the plan
tiers and an incalculable damage to New
bern.
Three more canning establishments,
viz, one at Charleston. one at Savannah
and one at Jacksonville. would add hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to the
trucking interest. If they were estab.
lished as soon as it ceased to be profita-
BILE to ship from Florida, they would
commence canning, and therefore have
no surplus stock to interfere with Savan-
nah. In the same way Savannah would
can her surplus and leave clear market
for Charleston, and Charleston would
can her surplus and not interfere with
Newbern. Newbern is now canning
hers, and Norfolk will have clear field.
You can easily get a Baltimore house
to put ND the establishment provided
some of your people are disposed to go
into it. The great tendency now is for
the manufacturers to go where the pro-
duce is made. VIM. II. OLIVER.

RELIGIOUS TRACTS FOR THE PREsI-
DENT.-A Washington dispatch says:
"The President received in his mail on
Friday a bulky letter package, which
was presumed TO be from some office
seeker, and including the usual number
of recommendations and petitions. But
on the package being opened it was
found to contain a missive from some
pious person exhorting the President to
seek salvation, and commencing for his
perusal several tracts which were in
closed. AS the President has been in
the bosom of the church for some years,
and as his time is very limited, he did
not consider it necessary to read the
tracts. They were sent over to the State
Department for Secretary Blaine, with
the hope that they might be of some
benefit TO him, but he said he thought
Bob IngersOll had more need for them. ?"

LARGE PURCHASE OF COAL MINES -
The Sewane coal mines, in Grundy
county, Tenn, have been sold to the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com
pany, a new corporation, which has been
formed for the purpose Of developing
this remarkable mining region. The
price paid the owners was about 1925,
600, and the company has issued per
cent. mortgage bonds amounting to
81, 900, 600. There are 404 coke ovens,
which turn out about 20, 200 bushels of
coke daily. The coke is used in the
company's furnaces, which are located
near to the mines. 1t is claimed that,
owing to the peculiar geological forma
ton of these coal measures, the mines
can be more cheaplY and conveniently
worked than those of Pennsylvania,
Maryland and West Virginia. The com
pany employs from 500 to 1000 men,
half of whom are convicts.

The Turf, Field and Farm takes no
stock in the carp distribution from
washington, and is not at all sorry the
supply is exhausted, as announced a
short time ago. The editor has two
vivid recollections of carp as edible fish
during his sojourn in Europe, aud con
cludes that "a more tasteless, stringy
fish for table use was new. subjected to
the culinary prs He doub's if
there is a single edible fish in our wa
ters as poor in table qualities as the
carp. and quotes contemporary
who agrees with him in this de-
cision. Coming from so influential
. journal as the Turf, Field
and Farm. this may somewhat
discourage those who have stocked their
ponds with young carp, and cool the ar
dor of hundreds whose applications are
On file in Washington awaiting the next
distribution; but we think 1t should not
deter the introduction and cultivation Of
a fish so popular throughout Europe.
The editors individual taste should not
influence others in matter Where the
masses might differ with him. There
are species Of fish in our own waters
very little esteemed by many, but none,
we believe, of the edible classes, consid-
cred valueless. The carp may be over
rated. and doubtless is, but prove very
good fish after all.

SOLAR DISTURBANCES There are
scientists who believe that the meteoro-
logical conditions of our planet are af-
fected by the sun spots, or rather by the
forces which produce these dark open
ings in the luminous envelope that sur
rounds the sun. This theory finds some
thing to sustain it in the terrific storms
and tornadoes that have swept over por-
tions Of the country during the last two
weeks. There are at present, it is stated,
an unusual number of spots in the pho
tosphers, and it seems that the storms set
in about the time the new spots began to
appear. The comet also may be dis
tuIbing element in the solar economy.
These suggestions are merely specula-
tive. but the conjunction of the sun
spots, the comet and the storms forms at
least an array of interesting condolences.

All the Northern cities are troubled by
their water supply just now. Chicago
entered its complaint early in the season.
1t was found that the water drank there,
which comes from Lake Michigan, was
mingled with the sewerage poured into
the lake from the Chicago river. New
York also complained, the Croton reser-
voir being found full of dead fish. Jer-
sey City and Newark have just discover
ell that the Passaic, from which they de-
rive their water supply, is full of car
bolic acid, emptied into it by the paper
manufacturers. Cincinnati also discovers
that she is compelled to drink her own
street garbage, and from a number of
lesser towns similar complaints are
heard. The only escape from this
universal evil seems to be to drink beer
and whisky.

has promised to introduce two or three
bills for their benefit, one of which is to
provide an Under Secretary of State for
