PoToMAC RIVER MOVEMENT
Members of the Business Mems

steps toward having certain improve
ments made in the Potomac, among
them the dredging of q channel on the
opposite side of the river in order to
re-establish the Maryland ferry, and
to have sufficient channel made
through the Kettle Bottoms in the low.
er river. The latter is work which
should have been done simultaneously
with the selection OF Washington as
the capital of the United States, but it
was not done, and consequently ever
since we have bean a nation small
strip of oyster bars have practically cut
of large vessels from the capital city,
and rendered navigation difficult in
one place only in one of the finest riv-
ers in the world. 1t is suggested that
Virginia Congressman by united effort
could get an appropriation for the pur-
pose, and should they succeed they
will have accomplished work which
will be of more Importance to this
State and country than their exertions
will amount to in many of the complex
international issues which absorb so
much attention and which amount to
so little.

and told the officer in charge that his
mother had brutally beaten him for ties.
tifying against his father. Harry, it
will be remembered, said in the Police
Court, and repeated his story to the
grand jury, that his father beat the dead
Child for being unable to stand on its
feet while suffering from pneunionia.
This family is leech upon the com
munity. They came here from Mary
land where it is said Jackson on one
occasion wantonly killed colored boy.
Since they have lived here they have
heen in divers troubles, generally
charged with stealing. When the
mother is arrested she invariably carries
six. months old baby in court to excite
sympathy, and when her husband was
arrested Charged with murder, the
family Immediately threw themselves
upon the city for support. This IS but
one specimen of the sffiiction all south
ern cities have as result of the war.
Negroes, or most of them, will flock to
cities where they become improvident,
and communities are compelled to take
care of them, or else they learn to be
vicious and become a charge in another
way in the penitentiary, work houses
or iails.
