DETROIT, MICH, August l2,-At
midnight last night the only remaining
transfer boat of the Great Western
railroad at this point, was quietly
seized by the Sheriff, by direction Of
the Car Loan Company. After that
hour the boat would have passed into
the possession of the new Consolida-

to force the fighting. The passengers
were sent east by the Canada South

The Mississippi River Commission
will meet in St. Louis on the 18th
inst, and will proceed without unnec-
esaary delay, it is presumed, to dis
bursc some of the liberal appropria.
tions Of money made by Congress.
Some of this money may not be
expended in the most judicious
manner possible, but it will get into
circulation and a start will be made
toward reforming ard utilizing the
turbulent Mississippi river, and re-
claiming vast alluvial districts
whose products would support
and enrich an empire. The appropria-
ton for this purpose is deemed by
some very liberal, even extravagant /;
yet it falls far short Of the recon-
mendation contained in President Ar.
thurs special message on the subject.
The wealth of the country is increas
ing SO rapidly that it can stand big
appropriations and enter confidently
upon grand schemes. The public
mind has been educated up to point
where it can comprehend vast
undertakings, even those that, "a
generation ago, would have
been deemed impossible. The
few millions about to be expended
in improving the great river that
drains the hills and valleys, and carries
the commerce Of so many States, will
prove o far better investment for the
whole country than most of the large
appropriations that have been made by
Congress. There will be some sub
stantisl results, and then other and
greater appropriations will be required
and more cheeriully granted, until the
river will be confined to given bounds,
its channel improved, and a dense
population will flourish and be happy,
where now the settlers are far apart,
and foods keep out the tide Of immi-
grafton and prosperity.

Hon. G. B. Simonton, of Covington,
is in the city, having left Washington
Tuesday night. He remained at his
post throughout the long and tedious
session of Congress, giving strict atten-
ton to his duties there and the inter-
ests of his constituents. The Wash
ington correspondent Of the Nashville
American, in a late letter, pays Mr..
Simonton the following pleasant and
we'll deserved compliment:
The Hon. G. B. Simonton will be can
didate for reelection. He has been thrown

have TO measure swords with VIM. r.
Moore, the present Republican incum-
bent. His speech on the tariff has been
widely circulated and has ranked him
among the,very ablest of the tariff reform
ers. He is indefatigable as worker, and
is one of the rising statesmen in the
Democratic party The Tenth Distrii t
can do no better service for the Democ-
racy than to send this capable and lahori-
GUS gentleman to the Forty-eighth Con-
gress as the successor Of the famous
Moore.
Mr.. Simonton's address on the tariff
question attracted more attention than
the ordinary speeches delivered in
Congress. It was clear, logical and
able, and was copied entire by several
papers in Tennessee and other States,
the Indianapolis Sentinel being one
of the number. He is now serving
his second term in Congress, and has
made a highly creditable record
Although personally stranger to
many of the people of the Tenth dis
trict, to which Upton now belongs
he will come before them with tie
reputation of faithful, useful mem
Der of Congress, aud his claims will
receive the fair and thoughtful con
sideration thev deserve.
