The River and Harbor Swind1e,

Special Telegram.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-It is being charged
that the river and harbor bill, as made up
now. is not made up with any apparent in
tent to relieve the producers Of the country,
but rathsr to serve the interest Of contractors
and Iobbers. The distribution of nearly
$l3, 600, 900 in bill is one OF the curiosities
OF American legislation. 1t gives to the
whole Pacific coast 1854, 900. 1t gives to the
Gulf of Mexico and the river emptying into
it 81, ,397, 900. To the Mississippi river aud
its tributaries, 16,500 miles of navigable
water, S6,323,0 1t gives the
wick to southern Florida, 81, 229, 900
of this sum S6O7, 900 is put on the rivers
and harbors north Of the Deleware river.
South of that the sum Of 1854, 900 is appro-
priated. The southern states altogether re-
ceive some So, 900, 900, while northern and
Pacific states get So, 423, 600.
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NORTHWEST
feel that they are entitled to immediate relief
as being not only the great producing sec
ton Of the country but farther removed from
the sea shores and markets Of the world than
any other portion Of the United States north
aud west Of the Missouri river. II has pro-
duced over 400, 900, 900 bushels of grain this
year, also a large part OF all the
meat used In this country is furnished
in that section, which is worth in the hands
Of the producer about one-half Its New York
value. All the grain, meats, aud other pro-
duce Of the northwest is doubled in price to
the eastern consumers, and made un profit
able to the producer and all because they
cannot gee their waterways opened so as 10
regulate the railroad tariffs and secure trans
portation at reasonable rates. The south and
east seem 10 have combined to keep the
northwest at the mercy Of the railroad combl-
nations, which take all the profit there is and
render everything that Is raised
rSPRoFITABLE TO THE NORTHWEST
aud at the same time very expensive to the
consumer. It is proposed to beat this river
and hsrbor bill II such thing Is possible. 1t
Is reported a. the most unmitigated and un
just job ever attempted. The upper Mississippi
above the Des Moines rapids with It's 1000
miles Of navigabie water, the Missouri river
with nearly 1900 miles OF navigable branches
penetrating as they do the great producing
section Of the continent receive less than
81, 900, 900, while half a dozen Insignificant
rivers and harbors in the lower country re-
ceive two or three times that sum 10 say
nothing of the 81, 900, 900 to be thrown into
the river below Cairo.

because 1t so seriously interferes with his
work for Irish freedom Adj. Gen. MacCarthy,
who is the Minnesota delegate OF the Ma
tional league, and who has been prominently
identified with every movement in the inter-
est Of Ireland inaugurated in this city for
years, said, when asked about Rosa and his
schemes. that they in no respect represented
the opinions of the large bodies OF lrishmen
throughout the country. While Irishmen
have naturally no sympathy with England,
they nevertheless do not approve OF the dy-
Mantle plan. The use Of dynamite and ITS
accustomed system of warfare Is op-
posed to every characteristic of the
Irish character. The general also referred
to the remark of Rev. DR.. Smith in sermon
preached by hiu last Sunday, in which he
lays the misfortunes of Ireland to the thrift
lessness and discontent which he says Is
natural to her people. This the general most
emphatically denied. Another prominent
Irishman said the best evidence OF Rosa in
fuence in this city is shown by the fact that
only single copy Of his paper, the United
Irishman, is taken in St. Paul. This attack
on Rosa, said he. is probably the outgrowth
of the recent Captain Phelan episode. You
remember the captain vowed vengeance while
he was lying in his bed in lhekhospital An
other Irishman when asked for his opinion
said, the whole affair might just as likely as
not be gotten up by some English ennis
sary. As soon as anything happens,in Lon .
don nowadays, he said, it is always an
Irishman has done it; and the plot is always
of American origin, when so far as any
definite information has been obtained in
tlese cases. it generally turns out to be some
one from the continent of Europe, generally
from France There are Irish socialists as
there are German, French, and even
American ones, but they in no sense
represent the entire Irish people
any more than their colleagues of France,
Germany or America. When all the particu-
lars of this affair are known, I believe it
will be found to be only private quarrel in
which just men have no more interest than
the general nublic.

The Justice of Brewster,s Opinion.

Mr.. Porter obtained the opinion of Messrs-
John c. Bullitt, Joseph H. Choate and Anson
Maltby on the justice of the attorney gene
ral's opinion. The following is a brief syn
opsis of their opinion:
AS to the first proposition, the attorney
general refers to the principle that final judg-
ments must be held to be final, and that no
one has ever contended that the Judgment of
a court martial was not final. 1t is beyond
dispute that the validity Of final judgment
by court of competent jurisdiction cannot
be inquired into in any collateral proceed
ing. This is familiar law, and was the basis
of the decision in Keyes VS.. United States,
109 Z. s., 1856, which Is supposed to be the
case referred to by the attorney general as to
the validity of the judgment Of a court mar
tial. In the case of Fitz John Porter, final
judgment was rendered in favor Of the
United States. Assume it to be established
that gross injustice was done him, the gov
ernment must have the moral right to remit,
release or anDul that judgment, ju't as any
other successful litigant could do whose con-
science would not permit him to continue to
enjoy the benefit Of an unrighteous judy
ment, and q moments consideration will
show that it has the legal power to do So.
The power of the president to appoint to
Office in such cases as the constitution pro-
vides that appointments shall be made by
him, and the inability Of congress to take
from him this power, are not questioned for
a moment. Nor does the act in question
take this power from him. The act is not
mandatory; 1t leaves the president free to ap-
point or not, as he sees proper. Nor is it
mere counsel. because 1t creates an Office. 1t
cnacts everything which is requisite TO give
the act 'the full force and vigor OF law, {"
as in any other case in which an office under
the governmen Is created the power to ap-
point to it being devoved upon the president.
In no sense can it be said TO be merely coun-
sci. But when properly considered, the act
is neither mandatory nor restraining, nor
merely counsel, but is really an enabling act
At midnight the house is still in session
with no prospect Of adjourn ment. The time
is mostly occupied with roll calls, the dila-
tory proceedings being diversified with banter,
fun, humorous remarks, etc. During the
day session Mr.. George presented the joint
memorials Of the Oregon legislature, asking
for the passage Of bill opening the Umatilla
Indian reservation. Also for the forfeiture
of unearned portions Of the Northern Pacific
land grant in Oregon and west of Wallua in
Washington territory.

with politicians.
Senator Camden. of West Virginia, says
that the story that ex-senator Davis has
abandoned the idea of going into the cabinet
if portfolio is rendered him is incorrect. He
will take any that may be offered. Randalps
friends say there is no doubt that
he could have the treasury portfolio, but he
will no under any consideration accept
Leading tariff for revenue men say, however,
that even If Clevean ndwas protectionist he
could not think of placing Randall at the
head OF the treasury, any more than he would
think Of putting Morrison there. Either
would disturb all the elements of the party
and thear open the factional wounds. They
say that some man representing Carlisle's
views, and who has not become mized up in
the tariff strife, will be selected as secretary
of the treasury.

The Montana Marshal Under Fire.
,Dacja1 Talaorarn


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The judiciary CON-
mittee of the senate had under consideration
at its meeting to-day the case of Krewler,
nominated by the president to be marshal of
Montana to succeed Botkin, an ex-newspaper
man of Milwaukee. The papers in Botkin's
lcase were examined. The charges and re-
port on both attacks upon him being before
the committee. 1t was briefly discussed, but
no action taken owing in part at least to
the absence Of the Wisconsin senators who
were detained on account of the funeral
of Mr.. Sawyer's grandson, Sawyer White.
the investigation and delay in the action on
this case having been especially delayed by
the request of these senators, the committee
did not feel willing to act in the case,
especially in view of the cause of their alb
sence. Indications are, however, unfavor-
able to Botkin. The attorney general did
not hesitate to say that he believes him anft
morally, physically and mentally to fill the
position, saying he is wreck in every one
of these particulars.

CHICAGO. Feb. 2.-The news Of the shoot

While all who were talked with on the sub

Niuety-nine Irishmen out OF one hundred
