influential journal last week. L" 1t was on

to sustain them), if followed by conviction,
have entailed upon myself not only heavy
fine, but term of at least one year in the

The Junior editor announces that no was
honorably discharged when tho case came up
for trial, and in the next paragraph of his
card LS ventures in o mild way to express
snnyiction that tho senior editor has "acted
hastily" in tho matter. The communica-
ton, to which is appended the signature of s.,
F. Mcbride, closes thus

that no moneys due or to become due should be

the treasurys got lots of money locked

WHEN an appropriation is wanted for the
building of Mississippi levees tho 'strict con.
structionists" in congress always set up tho
plea that the improvement of tho navigation
of the Mississippi river is the primary object
and that the protection of the riparian planta-
tions is merely incidental. The Vicksburg
Herald has got tired of this hair-splitting,
and comes out boldly for an appropriation for
tho levees without reference to the needs of
navigation. 1t argues that under the
general welfare" clause of the constitution
congress has ample power to protect the
owners Of riparian property from overflow
Southern papers are gradually adopting tho
doctrine that the old southern theory of con-
stitutional limitation ought not to be allowed
to stand in tho way of an appropriation.
