THE Alabama Senators disagreed
upon the, River and Harbor bill. Sena-
tor Pugh who voted for it, said that like
all river and harbor bills, it was the
result of concession and compromise,
and was a measure which promised to
restore to the South some of its lost
power, and to furnish the whole eoun-
try water ways which experience had
demonstrated to be potent means of
regulating railway fare. That reliable
statesman, Horatio Seymour, had re-
Gently expressed the opinion that free
canals were worth more than all other
expedients combined in preventing rail-
road overcharges and abuses, and Mr..
Pugh believed that in this view the bill
would be five times more than the
amount appropriated by it. This is
according to the law of competition.

twenty-five years, and married life of
that the existence Of one so pure and good and
beautiful, and loveable, is thus quenched in its
bright MONDAY forever. If the loveliest
qualities Of her sex, il the prayers and tears
flowed ones could have ayailed, she would
have been spared But we dare not question
the inscrutable DEGREES of the all-wise Being

Thou vert not formed for living here,
For thou vert kindred with the sky
Yet, yet we hold thee all so dear,
We thought thou vert not formed to die.

The building for the colored department
of the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb
has been completed, and Mr.. Claude B.
Winslow, worthy gentleman, has been
selected by the Trustees, as Manager of the
Department. The improvements are located
on tract of land on the Clinton road two
miles west of the city, where the Institute
was located and destroyed by fire during
the war. A farm will be cultivated by the
pupils, by which means they will acquire
practical knowledge of farming with other
requirements, and at the same time, raise
vegetable products for the use of the Insti-

THE nomination of Judge Jefords as
the Republican candidate for Congress
in the River District, speaks well for
his party. He is a Conservative Repub-
lican and testified his desire for an
adjustments of the reconstruction issues
upon a friendly basis, without race
troubles, by accepting place on the
Dent ticket for 1t. Governor in 1869.
He came into the State soon after the
war, to stay, and is thoroughly identified
with it in sympathy and interest. On
the main question, the levees, with the
people of his District, he viii work with
genuine heartiness to promote their
building. Col. Percy ought to accept a
Democratic nomination, and be elected,
in virtue of his unsurpassed qualifca-
tons, but the Republicans seem to have
made the best selection from the aspi-
rants before them.

Sound Reasons.

A circular gives the following reasons
why the tariff on sugar should be
reduced: 1. Sugar is no longer luxu'
ry but necessity. 2. On every dol
lars worth of sugar consumed in the
country duty of 80 cents is paid tc
the government. 8. This tax is un-
necessary and burdensome. 4. One-ffth
of this tax was put on March 3, 1875 to
meet an emergency which does not now
exist. 5. A decrease Of tax on sugar
would be shared by the entire people,
and would be more helpful to the whole
people than any other reduction that
can be made on the tariff. 6. The adul-
iteration of sugar is increasing enormous
Iy. A reduction in tariff would tend to
stop adulteration by rendering pure
sugar cheaper. 7. The Louisiana
planters, the only directors, make their
largest crop under tariff which aver
ages about one cent a pound.

THE River and Harbor bill as it has
passed the Senate, provides that the
Secretary of War shall repair and build
the Mississippi river levees. if within
the judgment of the Commission, this
should be done as part of their plan
to afford ease and safety to navigation
and commerce of the river, and to
deepen the channel as reported. As
the Commission has already reported
that the repairing of the levees in order
to confne the river within its channels,
is essential to the improvement of the
navigation of the stream, it may be as
sumed that the levees will be speedily
repaired. It will be remembered that
President Arthur, in his timely message
to Congress, took the responsibility of
committing his Administration squarely
to that policy.

THE refusal Of Congress to appropri-
ate money to keep up the stations Of
the National Board of Health, would
be destruction Of the laws for warding
yellow fever and other pestilential dis.
eases from the country. The national
inspecting service ended, and the
country is open to the ravages of con-
tagious diseases imported from abroad
unless the State authorities are equal to
the emergency and they are not, for
the reason that they have no jurisdic-
ton beyond their immediate limits.
Unless Congress reconsiders its action,
it will have abrogated an essential fune-
ton of the federal government. The
South and West are especially interested
in this grave question. Yellow fever is
prevailing in South American ports,
and in Havana, and it is liable to be
brought into any of the Southern ports
without an efficient quarantine service.
Several cases have already been import
ed and increased vigilance is shown to
be necessary to guard the country from
repetition of the horrible calamities of
1878 and 10.

Correction.

We were misled by the Waterford
Express into the error of publishing in
a recent number of TIE CLARION what
purported to be an extract from the re-
port of the Committee on Elections stat
ing that neither Col. Van H. Manning,
nor Capt. Buchanan, had been elected,
andrecommending that the seat occupied
by the former be declared vacant. By the
following resolution which has been
adopted by the committee, it will be
seen that no such action has been taken.
1t may safely be assumed that Col.
Manning is in his seat to stay until the
close of the term for which he was duly
and legally elected:
For the purpose of correcting any wrong
impressions in the cases of Lee vs.. Richard
son, and Buchanan vs.. Manning, the Com
mittee on Elections adopt the following reso-
lutions
/. That no final action has yet been taken
in either of these cases.
2. That hereafter the clerk of this com
mttee is instructed to see to it that the
views of individual members shall not be
given to the public till final action is taken
in contested election cases. 4 true copy.

HON. H. B. WARNER

Hon. H. B. Warner this week re-
turns to his Ellsworth home, after
having faithfully and most
efficiently served the people
of the State of Wisconsin in the ca
pacity of Secretary of State during the
past four years. His administration
of the affairs of the State Department
has been one of the most pains-taking,
efficient and thorough of any in the
history of the State and we believe
that none which preceded it gained so
great general plurality. Mr.. Warn
er is emphatically man of the peo-
pie, having risen from poor boy to
the honorable position from which he
has just retired, and has ever brought
to the discharge of his official duties a
careful personal attention to details
that is seldom equalled, which added
to Fixed purposed to conscientiously
discharge every duty imposed, and a
genial social nature has made him one
of the most popular, and at the same
time deserving, of public officials.
Concerning Mr.. Warmers future bust
ness engagements we are not advised,
but join his hosts of friends in ex-
tending to him cordial greeting mp
on his return home, and an expression
of the hope that he may be called to
further labor for the people whom he
has long served SO faithfully and well.

The average cost of caring for the
inmates of the Milwaukee County In
sane Asylum is said to be about the
same as in the State and Northern
Hospitals for the Insane. A strong
effort will undoubtedly be made to Sc
cure an appropriation by the legisla-
ture this winter for the construction
of an additional State Hospital and
thus prevent the necessity for so
many county asylumns. The increase
of insanity is so rapid, however, that
another State Hospital would soon be
filled, and the question of care of the
insane of the State is becoming quite
a serious one for discussion.
