The thought the flooded streets of yester-
day must have suggested to the citizen rs he
waded to and from his meals was the
crying need of a better system of sewer
age in the city. Nature has done more for
Augusta in this respect than for any other
city in the State, but there are a few chances
for the handiwork of man yet, and these
the ground. There has been good deal OF
talk lately among the citizens on the subject,
and as usually happens when the people are
alive to a public need, something will doubt
less be done as soon as possible.

WASHINGTON, MARCH 6, 1855.

IT SEEMS THAT THE political litera-
iure Of the Albany Times must here
after be taken at q heavy discount.
The alleged letter of Mr.. Cleveland
which recently appeared in that pa
per, and in which the President ap.
pears at length as emphatically de-
clining a denomination, turns out to
have been written by Mr.. TheophilusC.
Callicott, the able editor Of the Times.
Mr.. Callicott will be remembered by
those familiar with New York politics
twenty odd years ago as the man who
succeeded in electing himself Speaker
Of the Assembly by surreptitiously or
otherwise securing the votes Of two
Republican members. lie subsequent
ly served a term in the penitentiary
lecause Of a deficiency in his accounts
as collector of internal revenue in the
Albany district, and seems TO be in
danger Of getting back there unless
he mends his ways. Callicott is one
of the most gifted political crooks in
the country, and the Cleveland letter,
in the reasonableness of its logic as to
the reasons prompting the declination
Of another Presidential term, and in
its clever imitation Of the Presidents
terse and lucid style, is to be consid-
cred the greatest artistic effort of his
life.

GENERAL sH1ELDs's SWORDS.
A Bill for Their Purchase by the Gov
ernment.

eFnmeuts
On the 9th of January Congressman c.
II. Mansur of Missouri introduced a bill
to purchase of the widow and children of
the late General James Shields the swords
presented to him by Illinois and South
Carolina. The bill being referred TO the
Committee on Military Affairs a favorable
report was made, February s, and the bill
referred to the Committee of the Whole.
IL appropriates $4,000 for the purpose
indicated.
Mr.. Mansur, in conversation with o
CRITIC reporter yesterday afternoon, said
that the swords had been on exhibition
for some time past at the WilCoxson Bank
in Carrollton, Mo, and that he expected
they would arrive here to-day. General
Shields" said Mr.. Mansur, married n
second time, rather late in life, and when
he died he left his widow and three small
children in rather straightened ciroum-
stances. outside a small piece of ground,
the only thing of any value that he left
was the two swords which were presented
TO him by the States of Illinois and South
Carolina for gallant and meritorious
service. General Shields was n Senator
from three States, and, besides a record as
n statesman, he was hero in two wars.
The purchase of the swords would be q
graceful way Of giving assistance to the
Generals widow and at the same time
add to the Governments collection of
historic relics"
Mr.. Mansur said he would ask the
Sergeant-at-Arms for permission to place
the swords on exhibition in front Of the
Speakers desk
The Washington critic., 1888-03-06

THE BILL introduced in the House
by Mr.. Mansur of Missouri, appropri-
ating $4,000 for the swords presented
to the late General James Shields by
the State of Illinois and the State of
South Carolina, in consideration of
the gallant and meritorious services
rendered by him in the Mexican war,
is a measure of peculiar merit, and in
view Of the fact that the family of
General Shields are in straitened
circumstances, the Government can
well afford to extend them the pro-
posed relief, when by so doing il adds
to its military archives these valuable
memorials of one of the most distin-
guished men of his day. General
Shields not only served in the Mexi-
can war, but with conspicuous gal
lantry in the late civil war. AS a
statesman he was no less eminent
than as a soldier, having served as
United States Senator from Illinois,
Minnesota and NIissouri-a career that
in this respect is unexampled in the
history of the Republic, and shows
the high estimation in which he was
held wherever he resided.

THE BosToN Trdrellcj' says of the
Blair Educational bill that there is
nothing in it of a partisan character,
and lit would in some respects be
unfortunate to make it q political
issue, but the Republicans of the
House should be united in demand
ing consideration for it. The attempt
to smother the bill in committee is
disgraceful and cowardly.' The
great danger to the bill now is that
it will be overslaughed by the Appro-
priations and the Tariff Even were
it not for this, the antipathy of the
Educational Committee toward the
measure is such that it would stand a
poor show for report, favorable or
unfavorable. We quite agree with
our Boston contemporary that the at
tempt TO smother it is "disgracefui
and cowardly." Why not let it stand
OF fall on its own merits ?

that the net income Of this great cor

increase or $500, ,S42 over the income
for the year preceding, thus enabling
total dividend of 81 per cent, as
against per cent. for 1886. The total

company is $l7,60S,947 The total
number of passengers carried during
the year was 6S, 153, ,705, an increase

IT Is PROBABLY too late for action
npon Mr.. Rowell's bill relative to the
extension of streets and avenues at
this session, and as the District Com
missioners suggest it would perhaps
answer the immediate object to give
them the supervision and control of
all subdivisions of the District The
better way, which THE CRITIC hopes
to see adopted at no distant day, is to
entrust the work of reconstruction
contemplated in the Rowell bill to a
special Government commissionwhich
shall work out a plan for permanent
adoption and be charged with the
duty of its execution. Not that the
District Commissioners are not fully
competent to the task, but that it
would be adding an unfair and ex-
traoIdinary burden to their already
onerous duties. The work can best
he done through an Independent
