The Tennessee river just now is
having a great deal written and
talked about it; and representative
convention is to be held at Chatta-
nooga on March 10Th, with the object
of the further improvement of the
river, which by the removing of OBJ
structions can, at the cost of about
another million dollars, be made
navigable from Paducah to Knox
vile, a distance of nearly one thou
sand miles. Any one interested in
the question, as all in East Tennessee
are, should send for the current
issue of the Tradesman (Chattanoo-

useful and interesting article upon
the proposed improvements.

NEWS AND NOTES.

The Cumberland Plateau a very
few years ago was away up on the
spurs of the mountains of East Ten
nessee, and that was about all that
was known of it. Geographically, it
is now where it ever was, but other
knowledge of it has made great and
rapid progress. This terra incogaifa,
this clark continent" of the middle
South, has had turned upon it the
blazing light of modern research,
with the grand result of the dis
covery of a land admirably adapted
to the requirements Of home-seekers
and capitalists.
The discovery of such a country
was just wanted, both as regards
healthfulness and position. To very
many the North was too cold, the far
South too hot, the East both too hot
and cold, and the west subject to
too many natural and social draw
backs to make residence in either of
the sections quite beautifully desir-
able. Happily situated between
the two extremes of temperature,
and lifted a thousand feet above the
fevers, and agues and malaria of the
valleys and plains, the table-lands
of Northumberland mountains attract,
and will every year more strongly
attract, the attention of the immi-
grant from other sections, and the
Old World. Health is everything.
In the end it pays better than sixty
bushels of corn to the acre.
The central location of the Plateau
gives some Of the advantages of each
and all of the other sections of the
country, it is within reach of all
markets and centers of commerce,
thus giving to the agriicuituristt, the the
manufacturer and the capitalist a
pivotal pusitiun. It's natural re-
sources, too, are such, and so un-
limited, that the day will come wher
the mining and manufacturing in
dustries of the country--to say
nothing of fruit and sheep-wil
find their very center on, and under
and around the Cumberland Pla.

Tomorrow, February 22nd, is the
l52nd anniversary of the birth of
George Washington, man divinely
raised up to found a nation, and a
home for millions of the oppressed
and overcrowded of the Old World.
1t is difficult, if not impossible, to
point to grander human originator

Defeated in the House of Lords

Defeated in the House of Lords
by one hundred votes, Mr.. Gladstone's
Government gains triumphant
victory in theCommons by majority
of forty-nine, the Irish party, too,
throwing thirty-four votes for the
Tories. Thus the dark hour which
usually comes before dawn broke into
a food of sunshine. Could the spirit
of Lord Beaconsfield have revisited
the glimpses of the moon" the event
might have been different, the Lib
eral complication being just such as
he would have revelled in.

AT the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the CincinnatiSouth-

Monday, President Scott showed
that there had been an increase in
the takings of 1883 over those of the
previous year, of $26,l34.l5, or at
the rate of one per cent. This small
increase is accounted for by the
slight wheat crop of the year, a fall
ing off in the cotton crop, the large
amount Of trading and traffic that
went to the Louisville Exposition,
and the floods of last February

1he 1T0deSna0n Chattanooga
says:
The opening of the Tennessee
river will bring the Southern Central
Mineral States into more mutual
relations with the Northern and
Western river States. It will per-
manently establish cheap rates of
transportation for heavy cheap COM
modities, such as iron and coal. 1t
will open up region singularly rich
in minerals and the influence which
the improvement will exert on the
iron and coal business of this valley
the worlds hard to
foresee. That the cost of iron pro-
duction will here be reduced to the
minimum in the world is the surest
result of this improvement.

IT Is an Ill wind TINT blows nobody
good, according to the old adage. The
same abounding, perhaps superabundant
rains, which will guarantee such pho
nomenal prosperity to Los Angeles
county and Southern California, will
also insure q little more intelligent
supervision Of our streets and roads. In
other words, we will be superlatively
wealthy; and, consequently, highly in'
dignant at the neglect Of oil material CON-
forts involved In impossible thorough.
fares. We can submit to the temporary
inconvenience, however grievous, know.
ing that, OF last. our people are aroused
to the fact, and determined to assert it,
that this is no longer provincial region
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-02-15

The municipality OF Los Angeles is
most unfortunate one in some respects.
Notwithstanding the fact that the HER
AID, on the 2lst of September last. an
nounced that the rainfall this year would
be from twenty-five to thirty inches
or more, and though the editor Of this
paper offered to put up $500 that the
minimum rainfall would be sixteen
inches, our City Fathers have acted as If
a rainfall of two and one-half inches
would be the extreme Of our pluvial dis
pensation. Yesterday large force OF
the genas homo were employed in heap
ing up mountains OF mud in our princi-
pal thoroughfares, while "nary" q cart
was engaged to deport these offensive
tumuli to the suburban fields whereon
and wherein they might act as fertil.
izers. The city yesterday afternoon
presented spectacle, in the two princi-
pal streets, in which innumerable maui
soleums OF slush, OF sort of blanc
mango consistency, invited the dissolving
effects of the rains which later began to
fall. And so we 60, and still the tax
payers are not satisfied. The querulous
citizen. when called upon for coin, with
most impatient vehemence, asks, "Why
did not the carts bear some sort Of pro-
portion TO the piles of street otlal to be
removed?" And echo answers, "Why"
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-02-15

The truth is that the meteorological
conditions OF the whole American con.
tinent are changing, Of late. The Ohio
and Mississippi valleys, owing to the
denudatien Of their forests, are being
rapidly converted into the theaters Of
foods and cyclones. The same is the
case with that portion of the Pacific
Coast which has supplied the redwood
out Of which cities, towns and villages
have been created in California. On the
other hand, in Los Angeles county, and
in Southern California, where, instead Of
sacrificing, We are conserving and Great.
Ing forests and orchards, we find won
derful difference. As consequence ol
our intelligent system Of planting trees,
we discover that, year by year, the rain
fall is steadily increasing, so that we are
now able to say to our brethren of thu
northern and central counties, who are
experiencing the ills Of consecutive dry
seasons, go and do likewise. "
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-02-15

IT SEEMS to us that Mr.. John Il.
jackson. gentleman whom we thor
oughly esteem and like, is. taking entire
ly too much wig upon himself in this
matter OF the location of the new Court
House site, ride his communication in
our local columns. As between the
Democratic County Surveyor and the
volunteer aniicas curiae, as it were, in
the person of Judge Widney, we think
the latter has both the argument and
the rhetoric all his own way. We see
no reason why our friend Jackson should
not have projected himself, if at all, at
an earlier stage into this controversy;
nor do we see, besides, why he should
not have interpolated higher grade of
objection, ii he objected at all, as to a
question which admits of early popular
determination.
The truth is that we see no
special reason why Mr.. John l.. Jack.
son should. at this stage of the
proceedings, interfere at all in the matter
of the selection of Court House site.
He ought, ia our opinion, to have put in
an appearance early or not at all. We
are compelled to say that we think that
Judge Widney's observations about the
new Court House site are in consonance
with the views of nine-tepths of our
people; and that, neither in logical sug-
gestion, sequence nor purport, has our
esteemed County Surveyor made any
point whatever against the existing
order of the Supervisors. On the con.
trary, quite the reverse.
