The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-07-14

ANYBODY with any regard at all for TO-
cal rights could favor it he could not
conceive. He thought 1t absolutely
indefensible, without justification and
without excuse.
Senator CoDger defended the pro-
posed legislation. There was no use
in sppropriating money for the i'm
provement OF rivers and harbors II
these rivers and harbors were allowed
TO be destroyed Gas ia the case OF the
Sacramento river and San Francisco
BAY by the debris from hydraulic
mining. He thought that the amend
ment proposed by the committee that
the provisions should be construed
only as applying to hydraulic mining
removed the objection.
Senator Hale denounced the pro-
posed legislation, which, he said, like
the devil, firtt reached out its arms
and tore and maDgled every strip Of
S ate jurisdiction that was left over
Its waters.
Senator Vest congratulated the Dem
ocratic party on the accessions which
it had received from the other side to
the doctrine OF States rights. II Con-
gress had the constitutional power to
improve rivers and harhoIs it had the
Constii utiongl power to preserve them
That was stiic ly logical. He declared
uDhesiatingly thatth section was alb
to'utely necessary and proper.
Consideration OF the bill continued
up to the hour of adjournment.

to see land. We touched at the Ber-
muda Islands, and this was our only
stop between Port Elizabeth and Bos-

opinion of the States before l left

Some time ago a Port Elizabeth
lawyer went to England and re-
turned home by way of New
York. A confidence man got hold
