Wabash River.

We direct especial attention to an

article

in another column in relation to clearing out the Wabash river and making it navigable all the year for steamboats. This is an important movement, and one which should be carried out to.its fullest extent. The rapid development of the agricultural resources of this country demand that there shall be competition to the railroads, in order that the producers in this great valley may find a market for the products of their labor at a reasonable price.

So far as the interest of this immediate locality is concerned, making slack water navigation on the Wabash, is a matter of the first importance. If a dam can be thrown across the river anywhere in the vicinity of Clinton, and the water thereby raised to the proper level, why could not a ditch of sufficient dimensions be dug from it to the Wabash & Erie Canal, and water thus procured to make the canal useful to this point, without the heavy expense of repairing the feeder dam on Eel river. Engineers familiar with the required levels to accomplish this, we understand, say this can be done.

We know of no single improvement, which can so certainly advance all the great interests of this city and country, as .to have this canal in complete repair to the lakes. Besides the valuable water

power

it would afford,

it would give cheap transportation from here to the Eastern markets for all the heavy products of the soil. To move the corn, wheat, pork, &c., &c., from here to the Atlantic sea board, there must bea competition with the railroads. If this is not done, our producers will remain as they now are, poor. Under the present surroundings, they are at the mercy of the railroads. The roads combine against the farmer, and if the Eastern markets afford him a good price for his wheat or corn, the freights 011 the roads, by a concerted arrangement between them, is placed at a figure which takes all the profits from them, and places it securely in the pockets of the roads. The producer, being at the mercy of the roads, has nothing left him but to take, really, the price they deem proper to allow him for what he has for sale. This could not be the case, if there was a strong" competition for the railroads, over which all this immense freight could be moved. This can only be done by water navigation, and the Wabash river being made navigable to the Ohio, and the Wabash & Erie Canal to the lakes, will afford it.

The improvement of the Wabash river is of so much importance that we hardly entertain a doubt, but the proper appropriation can be procured from Congress to effect it. It will be seen that $1,163,253.25 is thought to be sufficient to accomplish this desirable matter. There is, however, one stumbling block in the way. The appropriation can be procured, but can the money be kept out of the.'Hickyhands of combinations and ringsand professional lobbyists In these times of corruption in high places, and professional stealing ramifying itself through all the departments of the General Government, money appropriated for useful purposes, is apt to be mostly used before it finds the legitimate object for which it was intended. But by the time this whole matter can be effected, there will perhaps be other, and we trust honester men at the head of our affairs.

The Way the Money Goes.

It does seem that the present Administration has embraced the singular idea, that this Government, and all the money in the people's treasury, belongs to, and should be used and appropriated for its special and individual purposes. President Grant, upon his own option, as was clearly shown by Mr. Sumner, used the naval power of the Government to further his special pet, the San Domingo job. The offices, which belong to the most competent, are, as far as his relations go, given to them, and now he is beginning to t«end his personal friends on pleasure excursions at the public expense. "The Treasury Department has repeatedly authorized the statement that thus far not a dollar of the new funding loan had been taken abroad. If foreign countries thus show an antipathy to the loan and to our finances, it is a subject of anxious inquiry why so many United States agents have been sent abroad, and what they have accomplished First, John Russell Young, a devoted and trusted friend of Grant,

was

sent abroad, several months

ago, at a heavy expense, on business connected with the new loan. Then General Spinner went, partly to look after his health, but particularly to see why foreign funds did not beg to be exchanged for American securitic^. Then McCulloch went over and established a branch of Jay Cooke & Co., and he tried to force the loan. After him has gone Judge Richardson, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and also Colonel Bigelow, a high clerk in the Treasury Department, and the Lord only knows how many mote have gone under private instructions, and yet, thus far, not a dollar of the loan has been taken. If foreign countries will not subscribe, what is the use of spending so much money in making entreaties, which is not only unbecoming, but ruinous to our credit?"

All this is a mere excuse to have the Government pay the expenses of-tbose personal friend?, wjiije they make a*

European tour. It is all in keeping witli the military imperiousness which now runs the Republic. No other President, since the organization of this Government, has ever so separated himself from hi3 official duties, or was so negligent in the discharge of the same.

IT is reported that the Ku-Klux subcommittee, of Congress, will pass the Summer at Iong Branch. They think they can make their report on Southern outrages from the accounts given in the papers.

The only objection we can see to this, is, that it does not look to us, away out hereon the Wabash, just right that the $20,000 appropriated out of the people's treasury, should be used in paying the expenses of this committee in their summer resort at Long Branch. That they could make just as correct a report from this point on the sea shore, as by traveling all over the South, we have 110 doubt, but the existence of the committee is a legislative outrage, that in itself is entirely inexcusable. But let them go to Long Branch and stay there, at the people's expense. It is only in keeping with sending the friends of the President to Europe to make a pleasure tour, to be paid for by the people, or in conformity to the act of President Grant himself, in leaving the National Capital and spending his summers at the sea shore, while the people pay him $25,000 per annum to attend to their business, as the chief executive officer at Washington. The good old ideas and practices of the early days of the Republic are rapidly vanishing with the present order of things.

NEW YORK

Herald reporter has

had a second conversation with His Highness, Ulysses I., at his sea-side retreat at Long Branch. He assigns the following patriotic and disinterested reason why he took the Republican nomination for President in 180S. Read it. "I consented to give up a life office for a temporary, though a higher one, for good reasons. I believed that if a Democratic President was elected there would be little chance for those who fought for the Union. They would certainly have got rid of the office of Com-mander-in-Chief of the Army, and so shelved me. Believing this I went into the contest in earnest.

Fearing that if the Democrats carried the election they would get rid of the office of Commander-in-Chief, and so "shelve him," he "went into the contest in earnest." How Grant-like that is— always in his action governed by a desire for personal aggrandizement.

THE

rabbinical conference at Cincin-

cinnati proposes to discuss whether Deity is Jehovah, or a personal God, accepted as a technical term, is not Jewish. The God of the Bible is Jehovah that is, the infinite and absolute—the substance and essence of all causes. This understanding, supreme love, justice, and holiness universal, cannot be thought or even imagined as personal." This opens up an interesting subject of controversy. It will be one of those, not uncommon discussions in which neither side can prove anything which itself advances, or successfully deny anything which may be asserted by the opposition.

THERE

A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Tenuessee, says in relation to the forward movement "About all the papers in the State that amount to anything are coming around to it. The Memphis Appeal is the only daily that stubbornly holds out. That powerful journal refuses to bo comforted even with the hope of victory. The Avalanche has been a departure organ for three years, and now rejoices to see the Democracy of the whole United States swinging around to its platform. The Banner is not surprised at the ground swell. That journal has all the timo advocated the doctrine that the Democracy must "stoop to conquer." It was one of the first, if not the first, paper of influence in the South to take an advance step in the direction of a new departure. The Banner was for Chase at a time when Chase's nomination meant vistory, if it did not mean Bourbon and Blair Democracy. It made a host of enemies thereby, was accused of having gone over to the Radicals, and the same howl would be raised against it now if the entire Democratic party was not drifting around to the same position. Numbers make respectability.

The Union and American does not love departure lor departure's own sake. The pill has to be sugar-coated to mako that staunch and life-long apostle of Democracy swallow it. But loyalty to party is a fixed principle in its creed, and it the partv goes into fields and pastures new, the *Union and American will go with it. Still that paper would much prefer that victory could bo won on a platform embracing the resolutions of '08.

The Chattanooga Times departs with alacrity. Nor does it have far to fjo. It has never "been counted a reliable Democratic organ by those who believe that principles sometimes get thrashed out, but never die.

On the whole, the Tennessee Democracy will come to the support of whatever departure their brethren in the North may choose to make."

Grant and his Government. The Albany (N.

Y.)

Argus and Alias,

says of General Grant: "His character and habits have undergone a radical change since he embarked in politics and determined to make himself rich out of the perquisites and opportunities of his office. He was never distinguished for delicacy, refinement or a nice sense of the proprieties of social intercourse. But he was educated at West Point, and while in the army had a kind of esprit du corps, and a sort of heartiness and frankness of manner that have given way to selfishness and egotism which oftimes exhibits itself in a form actually offensive. He affects a degree of superiority and e'xclusiveness in his official intercourse quite inconsistent with his former character. He has no executive council, at which the general policy of the Administration and particular measures are discussed, according to the practice of the statesmen who preceded him in office, and which is supposed to be in accordance with the theory of our institutions. An old-fashioned Cabinet meeting is a thing unknown at Washington. Military methods have superseded those heretofore in vogue in the Executive Department. Tho summary proceedings suitable to courts-martial now prevail, and the functions of the Secretaries are ministerial, or rather clerical, only. He dictates appointments himself, even of the lowest grade and Revolves so responsibility upon his sub*

ordinates, unless he wishes to shirk the consequences of an act that will not bear examination."

For the first time, too, in the history of the Government he employs a number of military officers as his private secretaries, keeping them as a staff around his person, and transacts his business with Congress after the aid-de-camp to the General fashion.

a speech in Tremont Temple, Boston, on Tuesday night, Buffalo Goad said that General Washington, as he calls the President, invited him and these other chiefs to the big house to have a talk with, them. He thought when he got there he would hear a straight story that his heart would be made glad by the talk that Washington might give them but he was disappointed and he thinks that Washington is not much of a chief.

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

The following conversation recently took place between parties living in this city, and being reported to ns, we give it as nearly as possible word for word. ..FOSTER BROTHERS.

Mrs. B. to Mr?. R.—T saw you with a new dress 011 (he other day as you were passing my house. How much did you pay for it? Mrs. R.—Fifty-five cents a yard.

Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it! Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where got mine.

Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours? Mrs. R.—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE. Mrs. B.—Do you then trade at Foster Brother's? I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not I always buy where I can buy the cheapest, and am sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stufling you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. B.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurling them and helping Foster Brothers, for lam tolo that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented?

Mrs. R.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut oft" a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "bless-

said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half my moneg. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of 110 value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or 1 should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I aiu foolish to pay the old'stores 20 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging.

Mrs. R.*— And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New YorK City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping plaee.

We submit tlie above without comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is quite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her fbr the good words she has spoken in our behalf. F. B.

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must liaVe certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in evenway satisfactory to tlie buyer.. No other store in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard 0 them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at the door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streetsefforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.
