From this statement it can readily bu
seen'tbat The calnplign thunder which ii
was anticipated would bs elected by the
resolution did not come 10 time. It shows,

the Judiciary were met, and that public
money was not equandered for pol!clicnl
purposes in the way it was predicted would
be shown. 5l

company may determine, provided that the
height be sufficient 10 permit the passage
Of timber, rats and other vessels naviga.-

ula,ionB as the Secretary Of War may pre-.
scribe. 81. !o.,Ef{ ol
