Rivers and Harbors.

We rejoice that the House Of Represent
atives has again shown its contempt for the
iliberal spirit manifested by the press OF
New York. The would-be leaders OF pub
lie opinion who write for the papers of that
city have constantly assumed that the
voters OF the United States, and particu-
larly those north OF the Potomac and
the Ohio rivers, last fall set the seal OF
their condemnation upon appropriations to
rivers and harbors. OF course they based
their declarations upon the ground that
some of the river and harbor bills thereto
fore passed had contained appropria-
tions to rivers which were not such
as the Government ought to try to
improve. This lesson they have never
failed to try to impress upon the members
harbor bill must be passed at the present
session OF Congress, the eighteen millions
appropriated at the last session being, so
they claimed. as much as the engineers
could iudiciously expend before 1884. The
Tribune reproduced our article of last week
upon this subject, and condemned il to
public reprobation by heading it, "Ready
10 Purchase the Passage OF River and
Harbor BILL" We have repeatedly told
the New York papers that they were labor
ing under a delusion, not one single con-
gresham having failed OF reelection, so
far rs we knew or believed, because he
had voted for the river and harbor bill OF
last session.
Well. q new river and barbor bill was
taken up by the House OF Representatives
on Wednesday last in preference TO an APP
preparation bill, and during the discussion
which followed, Mr.. BUTTERwoRTH, of Gin
cinnati, a prominent Republican member,
declared that any western representative
who should so fail in his duty to his constit-
uents as 10 vote against bill for improving
rivers and harbors would at the next cleo
ton receive 50 few votes that they would
not be worth counting!
And our faithful representative, Hon.
GEORGE ID. WISE, did his duty maniully
and ably. and succeeded In pledging Con-
gress to the proper improvement of the
James river. The southern people get no
pensions. though they pay SO large pro-
portion Of the taxes which the Govern
ment collects. Unless, therefore, some OF
the money disbursed by them In the shape
of taxes be returned In the shape OF APP
preparations 10 their rivers and harbors,
they must In the course OF time be imDoy-
crished BY an unjust system of taxation
and an unfair distribution OF benefits. We
trust that every southern congressman will
vote for the river and harbor bill when 1t |
shall come up for final action.

Another church enterprise has been in

ry, and people are almost wild with excite
ment, owing TO the manifestations of al.

days ago he was alarmed by loud rappings
against the side Of his house as II some one
was beating against IL with sticks. When
he would open the doort to go out and in
vestigate the matter the rapping would
begin on the inside Of the house. No
trace OF the cause could be found. The
disturbance has greatly increased within a
few days, and the rapping finally became
so violent that Mr.. Adams tore down the
ceiling and walls OF the house In endeavor-
ing to find reason or explanation for the
singular proceedings. The entire matter
Is involved In the greatest mystery. Peo-
pie. are greatly alarmed, and are flocking
by hundreds to Mr.. Adams's house to try

ANOTHER SHOCKING ACCIDENT-FUNERAL-
THE GUESSING CONTEsT-sTREET FIGHT.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
MARCH |, 1888.
A regular and an extra freight train on
the Virginia Midland railroad collided
about two miles west OF Barboursyille,
Orange county, yesterday evening about 6
O'Clock. Al. Haney, engineer OF the extra,
and his fireman, Thomas barley, were both
killed. George Keys and - Fitzgerald,
his fireman, OF the regular freight, jumped,
and were seriously "stoye up" Haney,
the engineer, was brought to Charlottes-
vile, where an effort was made to restore
him; but he never spoke, and in short
| time died in the reception-rCom ut the
Junction.
The northern-bOund mail, which follow
ed the freight at 4:j0 p. NJ, had to return,
and pass on by way OF GOrdonsylle. The
| body OF barley was taken on to AleXan-
dra last night and EIaaey this morning.
There is no telegraph line over this part OF
the road. and the orders of the extra was
to meet the regular train at Stony-POint
siding; and the conductor OF the extra
train says that Haney thought he could
make Barboursyille, hence the collision.
The engineer and fireman OF the extra re-
fused TO jump, and when the smash came
they were both caught, with results as
stated. The engines were perfect wrecks,
and many OF the cars were smashed to
pieces. The trains will run by Gorlons-
vile until the track is cleared.
