CANALS AND LoCKs.-As a kind Of ad


denda to his speech on the Mission claim the
other evening, Colonel Kelley gave some
items of interest concerning the possibility
of canal and locks round the Cascades, and
the Dalles of the Columbia General Mich
Ter, in conversation with Colonel Kelley, gave
it as his opinion that canal about e quarter
of mile in length, with three locks, would
be all that is necessary al the Cascades and
that this, with some work in blasting, and
removing rocks in the river, would make it
comparatively easy for steamers to get
through. The fall is ,wenty-one feet for the
length of the canal above mentioned, and
the rapid current is between seven and eight
miles per hour The estimated cost Is about
seven hundred thousand dollars The work
at the Dalles would be little longer but
probably not more expansive; the river could
be made navigable to Tumwater by clearing
out the rocks. The General thought that a
million and half would be amply sufficient
TO complete the works.-DG!!es Ho0ntasNsr.

THE new Arctic expedition, which
recently left England, IS said to be
better equipped than any that has here
tofcre sailed, and is prepared for at
tacking the ice fields of the North at
the season when they are weakest. The
"Alert'' Will take the lead, and the
Discovery will serve as a supply and
relief station, posted at high latitude,
but which can be readily reached by
other vessels, aud from which 1t may
return IN comparative safety whenever
the objects of the expedition have been
obtained or It's failure made certain.
The Discovery is not to go further
than S3 degrees north latitude, two
degrees further north than the point
at which Capt. Hall wintered, and two
or more degrees north Of the highest
point reached by the Austrian expedi-
ton Of IS73-74.

CARDINAL MANNING, in a recent
letter, puts his foot down thus fOreiblY
npOn vivisectiOn: 4 cannot pretend
to estimate the scientific utilities Of
vivisection; but I have no need Of any
such refnements to enable me to say
that the inhictiOn Of physical pain
without Just cause ID an abuse Of the
dominion that God has given to man
over the lower creatures. 1t Is lawful
TO take their life for the food Of man;
but it Is not lawful, even for this lust
and necessary purpose, to taketheir life
by needless pain. To inhict the ex-
quisiJe and prolonged tOrments de-
scribed 10y those who have been present
at vivisectiOn, can, IN my belief, be
brought under no moral law, nor under
any right possessed by man lover any

HERE is a mild estimate Of the Presi-

is from the Boston Courier "a Presi-
dent who takes gifts, who sits aloit,
thwarting the will Of the people, and
dreams of an indefinite extension of his
lease of power through the continuance
of anarchy in the Southern half of the
Union, should be ineligible even to a
second term Freedom itself is worth
less without order and an honest intelli-
gent National Administration. Grant
has never had Cabinet capable Of ad-
ministering the affairs Of great govern
ment He has had an unconquerable
aversion to anybody bigger than head
clerk. The personnel of the Govern
ment of the smallest State in Europe
would put ours to blush"

The following from the New York Sun
is severe on the Rev. General who repre-
sents the Ashtabula district in Congress .


The Rev. Gen. james A. Garfield is
stumping Connecticut for One Hundred
Gun Green, and there is no man living
better qualified to expound the princi-
pies of Grantism to the voters of that
State. Gen. Garfield was convicted by
committee of his own political faith Of
having participated in the Credit Mobi-
lierspoils, Notwithstanding that he had
solemnly sworn that he had never had
any of the shares nor received any divi-
dends or profits arising from them; he
was consnicuous in his efforts to get
through Congress the bill which author
lied the rAscally Sanborn contract; he
was foremost in promoting the back-pay
salary grab; while Chairman OF the APP
preparation Committee, and holding the
purse strings of the nation" he. took a
fee of $1,000 for his services in foisting
upon the District of Columbia a worth
less wooden pavement, and ever after
proved devoted servant of the Infa-
nous District Ring; and while continu
ally making the loudest professions of a
desire for retrenchment in the public
expenditures he has been the most eff
cient supporter of all sorts Of jobbery to
be found in Congress. If he would only
truthful y tell all he knows about the way
in which the public funds have been
used during Grants Administration his
speeches would be the most interesting
that are likely to be deli, cred during the
pending canvass, though we fear they
might not gain many votes for the third
term candidate for Governor.

A Toledo chap has had severe case
of mother-in-law. Upon the statement
of his betrothed that she was eighteen
years of age, he made oath to that effect
in the Probate Court, in order to procure
marriage license. As matter of fact
she was under age, and her mother had
the signing swain prosecuted for perjury.
He was convicted and sentenced TO three
years in the penitentiary. He was par
doned last week by Governor Allen after
having served four months of his term.
1t is not probable that the mother-in-law
will make her permanent home with the
young people.

whole act is unconstitutional. This will

A LATE number of the San Francis
co Chronicle contains an editorial TAX
ing strong grounds against the Gov
ernment aid to the Texas Pacific Rail-
road, and charges Tom SCoTT with
trying to build up at San Diego city
which will rival San Francisco. There
is strong feeling of jealousy or ill
will manifested toward Southern Cali
fornia by a umber of San Francisco
journals and others published in the
central portion of the State, for which
there is no reason, but this tilt of the
Chronicle against the Texas Pacific
strikes us as being silly In the ex-
trem, while its fear that San Diego
will divide the trade with San Fran
cisco, is entirely uncalled for. 1t is
possible that the Chronicles attack on
the Texas Pacific and it's fears as to
what SCOTT will do is due more
to it's zeal for the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company than its regard for
the welfare of San Francisco. But in
either case its arguments against a
Southern overland road that will not
be controlled by STANFORD & Co. will
not seriously influence Congress
against the Texas Pacific bill. Per-
haps the best and most effectual plan
we could adopt to allay the Chronicles
fears, would be to divide the State.
Give us from Monterey Bay down, and
STANFORD and the Chronicle may di-
vide the remainder or run it in part
nership, as best suits themselves. We
are determined to have q Southern
overland railroad, and we are willing
that it shall reach the Pacific Ocean

Chief Engineer CRAWFORD left last
evening for San Francisco to confer
with the heavy capitalists concerned
in the Los Angeles and Independence
Railroad and receive instructions as
to the commencement of active opera
tions on the road. A great deal de-
pends on the report which Mr.. CRAw-
FORD will make to these gentlemen.
III he reports that the people of Los
Angeles, San Bernardino and Inyo
counties are anxious for the construc-
ton of the road, and are manifestlng
their anxiety by a liberal subscription
to its stock, there is no doubt but
that work will begin at once and by
the first of next May track laying will
commence. Up to this time subscrip-
tions have been liberal, but there is
yet much to do. The men who will
furnish the greater portion of the
money to build this road ask that the
people of the three counties above
named, subscribe $500, 600 to its stock.
The request is reasonable. We shall
be greatly benefited, and we should do
something in return. The road be-
tween this city and the water will, in
short time, save to the consumers
more than we are asked to subscribe.
1t will reduce the cost of freight to
one-half what We are now paying, and
this item alone will enable US to save
the 100000 necessary to insure the
building of road which will reach
from Truxton to Independence.

EARTHQUAKE.- By far the greater
portion OF this community was awakened
at halt. past four, on Thursday morning,
by heavy earthquake shock, there being
three distinct vibrations, east and west.
Nearly every one felt the shock, there
being only an occasional sleepy-head who
could not afford to wake up even with the
shaking given by the earthquake. In

Several parties tell us they felt slight
shock about midnight. but the one in
the morning was unmistakable. This
earthquake was not prophesied until after

had " "ieltit in his bones" all the day pre-
