The new River and Harbor Bill,
reported from the Committee on
Commerce of the House, by Mr. Page
of California, on the 18th inst, ap>
propriates $7,937, 900, all of which is
to be::immediately available. OF this
amount between two and three mil
lions goes for the Improvement of
the Mississippl River. For our State
the following specific appropriations
are made: Continuing improvement
of Sunfower river, $4,000; Pasca-
goula river, $4,000; Pearl river,
$4,000; Tallahatchie river, $4,000;
Yazoo river, $4,000, and "for inn
proving Warrior and Tombigbee
rivers to Tuscaloosa Alabama and
Fulton Mississippi. $4,000. 1t will
be seen by the above figures that
our delegation in Congress has done
good service in securing the contin
uance of the work on all our leading
streams. This bill if it passes is
likely to be amended by additions
that will probably swell the appro-
pratt, to about ten millions OF
dollars.

In writing to newspaper always
address your envelope to the paper,
by its name, or to the publishers OF
the paper. In such instances the
communication is certain to receive
prompt attention, whereas, if directed
as is frequently the case, to one OF
the editors, by name,it may not reach
him for weeks, and when it does
reach him may not relate to any de-
partment of the papers business in
which he is concerned. Persons
frequently call at our Office to ascer-
tain the initials of Dana of the N. Y.
Sun, Bennett Of the Herald, Waterson
of the Courier Journal, etc, with n
view of sending them post office
orders for subscription. BY simply
addressing the paper, they would
accomplish their wishes, while if they
wrote to either editor by maine the
chances would be more than even of
the letter being filed away to await
their return, if absent, or forwarded to
meet them in some distant city. In
writing to this journal always address
"Examiner," or "Publishers Exami-
ner."

1t is worthy of note that the New
York Board Of Education have finally
decided to close the colored schools
after the 1st of May next The rea>
son assigned is that these institutions
have been maintained at heavy ex.
pense, and as the colored people do
not avail themselves of their advan.
tages as freely as was expected, it
would be worse than useless to con-
tinue them. This raises the question
what is to be done with the colored
children? Their own schools are to
be abolished and mixed schools are
not tolerated. If such action was
taken1 in a Southern; State, what q
howl would be heard in certain sec
tions.-Jachson Clarion. ~ "
The action of the New York Board
of Education stands out in bold con-
trast to that of recent act of the
Alabama Legislature, Southern
State and the nativity of many OF
the colored race. Instead Ct closing
the colored schools on account Of
"heavy expense" our Alabama neigh
bors increased the appropriation for
public schools one hundred thousand
dollars above the figure for past
years, and Of course the colored peo-
pie come in for proportion of the
increase II was, doubtless, for their
benefit that the free school privileges
were SO handsomely enlarged. The
same liberality towards the colored
element exists in Mississippi, where
they have majority Of the schools
which are paid for mainly by the
whites; and these facts would have
their weight of influence upon the
