PRESIDENT CLEVELAND gave the senate
an astonisher when he sent in the nom.
nation of Senator White, of Louisiana,
for the vacancy on the supreme bench.
His nominations had been twice de-
feated. and this time be sent in a name
that was confirmed in double-quick
time. But what will New York say ?
The vacancy by right Of usage belonged
to that state, and Cleveland could have
named a satisfactory man from it if he
had not been more bent upon getting
even with Senator Hill than in carrying
out his constitutional duty on line
with the best public interests. We
opine that the average New Yorker out
side the factions will feel very sore that
their states place on the bench of the
supreme court has been given to Lou
isiana.

THR RIo-MAR PROJECT.

THE value OF the twin screw is soms-
thing beyond the reach of the carpine
critic. The great performances of the
City OF Paris, the Lucania and Gam.
pania in Atlantic waters, as we'll as Of
the Himalays and the Vile de Ciotat in
the seas beneath the Southern cross, &c
far to establish that William Norris, of
New York, who was inordinately
laughed at in 1852 for his proposition to
build a steamer with twin screws, capa-
BILE of crossing the Atlantic inside OF
IA hours, knew just whereof he spoke.
The twin-screw principle has more than
one advantage. 1t not only enables a
long vessel, by going ahead on one en-
CINE and back on the other, to turn
around in a space of Is to 20 feet above
her own length, but it also enables
greater amount of cargo to be carried on
a less draught of water than under the
single screw system. Hence it is that
vessels are built with greater breadth OF
beam than formerly, their lines much
fuller and their draft of water less. In
a word, they are built to go over the
water instead OF through it; and all the
last time that has been made on long
voyages. has been made within the past
five years by this type of vessel. We
append the dimensions OF several noted
vessels. to show the change made in
marine architecture in 20 years:

WHEN Henry Mcdonald murdered old
George Meyers on the road across the
desert from Boise to Kelton, in 1880,
there was a doubt as to whether
the crime had been committed in Ada,
Owyhee or Cassia counties, and the re-
suit OF it was survey. the expense of
which the body Of poor old Meyers was
found to have been buried. The survey
located the crime in Owyhee, which
paid all the bills of trial and execution
as well, amounting to $4,000 in ALL Now
there seems to be similar doubt about
the exact locality of the Goler diggings
One of the papers locates them in Inyo,
another in Kern, while some contend
they are in Los Angeles. "Under which

The speed attained by these last three
and OaDipsnia OF the Cunard line, but
there 10 great deal to be said in favor
OF the last two ships when it is remem-
bered that in race from Sydney to
Melbourne, dock to dock, the Himalaya
only beat the Vile de Ciotat forty-two
minutes in run of 722 miles, the last
twenty-six of which were done at half
speed on account of low tide in Port
Philip bay, and the last ten miles of
which were accomplished under a
"slow bell' OF not better than seven
miles to the hour. The Himalaya had
about 400 tons of freight besides her
coal and the French ship about HOO,
but as there is no coal at the Seychelles
islands, the Ciotat had to carry 400 tons
more fuel out of Sydney than her Brit
ish rival. This decrease in draft, arts.
ing from the retirement of the single
screw, seems to be the main cause OF in
creased speed, and it goes without say
ing that, in all ordinary weather, the
shallower ship must suffer less strain.
just now the city OF St. Louis, in Mis-
souri,. is engaged in wrestling with a
problem which, if it can be demon
strated to the advantage OF it's protector.
will not only revolutionize cargo-car-
risge on ocean highways, but will cut
into the transportation of grain across
the Continent in such q way as to throw
a dozen railways into bankruptcy. A
company called the "Rio-Mar Trans
portation Co." has been formed in that
city, to build a ship designed by one
Lucas, but whether he belongs to the
old pioneer banking family OF that
name the HERALD is not informed.
This man Lucas has designed steamer
to load grain at St. Louis for Liverpool
direct and to make the voyage in II
days without breaking bulk. Below
the mouth OF the Ohio the Mississippi
is much deeper than above that point,
hence in high water she will take full
load out of st. Louis; and in low water
she will lighter half her cargo between
that city and Cairo. where she will COM
plete her load and shove out boldly for
Europe. This ship is 20 carry the fol-
lowing loads of grain upon the draft of
water given below:

ARTHUR MCEwzN's LETTER is the
name Of q soorching weekly four-psge
publication just issued in San Fran
cisco. Arthur McEwsn says he starts
this paper because he wants free
expression, and because there is no
organ among the dailies of his city of
real Independence. He says they are all
sbject tOadiss to the rich, slaves of the
business community and bend obsequi-
ously before the lash of accumulated
wealth and powerful corporations. He
ascribes the slavishness Of the San
Francisco press to the business necessi-
ties Of the expensive publications they
issue. Whatever the influential mon
eyed class requires or objects to must be
rigidiy conlormsd to, or its members
will compel the business community to

claimed for her, then every importing
house in New York will either have to
establish a branch in st. Louis or 90
out of business.
However, we are not so eanguine of
this as the newspapers that are putting
the ship in advance of her construction.
The reform in the matter of draft is too
sudden and too sweeping to look wholly
practicable. That splendid iron ships
can be built on the great lakes, equal in
speed to any British vessels of their size
and vastly superior to them in elegance
OF passenger accommodations, we have
never doubted. But that vessel caps-

THERE is much complaint amongs,
the shorthand reporters of this city
about the way in which the work is
distributed Cor rather not distributed)
by the courts. They say that one firm
has got the reporting business OF all the
superior courts but two, and one OF
these. whenever it wants reporting
done-it refuses to appoint a regular
shorthand reporter-gives its work to
that same firm. The independent re-
porters declare that they are thus shut
out from work, or have to take details
from that lucky firm at much lower
rates than it charges litigants. The
courts, perhaps Inadvertently, play into
the hands of combination in this re-
porting business, and are severely criti-
ciEed for doing so by the independent
reporters. The fact is that the charges
for shorthand reporting are extremely
onerous upon litigants, and no relief
can be looked for until the courts en-
courage competition amongst the re.
porters.

THE HOUSTON TRAGEDY.
A Sequel to the Famous Jaybird- Wood
pecker Feud.


pecker Feud.
| Houston, Tex, Feb. 20.-Last nights
horrible tragedy here lie a sequel of the
the famous Fort Bend feud, known as
the Jaybird-W oodpecker quarrel.
James R. Mitchell, the quadruple MUIR
derer, WAS the central figure in that
affair. Milton Sparks and Di Sutton, a
constable of Eagle Lake, were in the
city as attached witnesses in Fort
Bend feud murder case, and Mrs. Sparks
accompanied her husband. This engen-
dered bad blood, and last night Mitchell,
who was waiting for his father and
brother from Richmond, espied Sutton.
He opened fire which WAS promptly re-
turned. Sutton falling after firing his
second shot. Mitchell kept up his
murderous fusillade until he had fred
six sh OTIS. The result was, that in addi-
ton to Sutton being killed, Milton
Sparks was shot to death; Dan Gleason,
an omnibus driver, also lies dead Mrs.
Sparks, wife of the murdered man, was
badly wounded, as was also q child she
carried; a brother OF Sparks was NOR
tally wounded, and Mrs. Mcdowell, an
aged lady, received one of the bullets
and her chances of recovery are slim.
Mitchell said TO q reporter after his
arrest: II shot Sutton for interfering in
my family affairs, and hope to hell l |
killed him. We had previous diff |
Guilty and he sent we word that he would |
kill me. l am an attached witness, and
l believe was simply attached to get
me here to kill me, as l was notified
that Sutton and his crowd of six or
eight had formed a plot to kill me. 7

me. When | saw him he had his hand
on his pistol, and l said to him: we
will just settle our trouble right here.'
We then went to shooting. His shots
passed my head; those killed back of

him."
1t is pretty evident that Sutton killed
