Mr. SMITH, of Georgia, said : Mr. Chairman: I do not propose to discuss the policy which obtains of late of improving rivers and Imrhora in the several Slates liy tlie General Government. It is sufficient for my >urpnsc lo know that appropriations Hire been made and will continue in lie made for these objects so long as this Government stands. The ques tion to lie met is not one of constitu tional law or propriety, but of amount in dollars and cents. In tlie distribution of Federal aid to commerce and freight traiisporla- ion, by improving rivers and har bors, tin- State of Georgia, though sparingly treated heretofore, should cceive from this Congress a liberal moil nl in aid of her water highways. While I am as imirli interested in the appropriations for tlie Savannah riv er, the harbor of Hie port of Savnu- ali, the Oconee river. Hie Octuili- gee river, the Coosa river, and tlie ports of Brunswick and Darien, as any of my colleagues, still I desire to press on Hie attention of Hu- Commit tee on Commerce anil this House spe- ially the necessity of a further ap propriation for the Chattahoochee aml Flint rivers. The Chattahoochee from Colum bus, Georgia, to tlie junction is in fair boating order, and several large steamers are annually engaged in die carrying trade, a business which is constantly increasing. By tlie report of tlie engineer in charge for the year 1877 it will ho seen that there were transported on this river: “cotton, bales, 31.730; value of merchandise, $5,706,800.” Obstructions to navigation have been removed, and all that is necessa ry now is fora sufficient annual ap propriation to keep the river in good condition. The Flint, although a magnificent river, and capable of be- permanently improved, lias re ceived but little attention either from Slate or Federal governments. Sonic time during the period from 1843 lo 1848 Hie State of Georgia appropriat ed $1,000 to improve its navigation. This amount was expended under the direction of Dr. L. 15. Mercer, of Lee county, who succeeded in improving tlie condition of one or two shoals and demonstrated beyond controver sy that the river was capable of being permanently improved at a small cost. The State did not follow tip this appropriation, and tlie river was neglected until 1878, when a small sum was appropriated by Congress for a survey from Albany to the junc tion. This was obtained by lion. II. II. Whitely. The river was surveyed and tlie estimate for all improvements was fixed at $118,105. In 1873 and 1874 no appropriation was made. In 1874 and 1875 Hie sum of $25,000 was appropriated jointly to tlie two riv ers, Chattahoochee and Flint. The engineer in charge, ill his discretion, did no work on the Flint, hut ex pended the sum of $13,417.38 on the Jhnttaliooclicc. In 1875-76 the further sum of $25,- 000 was appropriated by Congress for the improvement of both rivers. Ex cept to remove “all snags, logs, and overhanging trees interfering with navigation from the junction to Bain- bridge,” no work was done on this river. The stun of $8,979.56 was ex pended, and the Clinttahoochcc got the greater share. In 1876-77, in August of 1876, the further sum of $20,000 was appropri ated to botli rivers. No work was done on the Flint, but the sum of $22,937.97 was expended oil the Chat tahoochee. In 1877-78, during this fiscal year, the working party “began at tlie wharf at Bainbridgc and worked down to Lambert’s Island, seven him dred and sixty-thrcc cubic yards of rock and one hundred and sixtv-eight sunken logs were removed. The sum of $21,647.57 was expended, ami tlie Chattahoochee received Hie liou’i share. Seeing Hint tlie Fling was neglected, I introduced a hill asking for a special appropriation. This re ceived Hie sanction of tlie Committee on Commerce, and an appropriation of $10,000 was made June 18,1878, for the Flint alone. In 1878-79 work was prosecuted at Lambert's Island. Brondaxc, Bry ant's Bucks, Cross Chute, and Bed Bluff to completion. The amount credited to Flint river was— On hand $11,958 76 Approp’d Marcli 13, 187!#... 7,(XX) 00 relinncc for tlie IrHiispurlnHon of tlie products ol*our soil to market. Thu roads soon monopolized Hie carrying trade, and our river was abandoned. smi in, These corporations, instead of com peting witli each other in a fair busi ness inauner fur IVci^hl aud pusscu- gers, soon entered into a “pooling contract,” bv Hie terms of which one road transports almost (lie entire freight lo and from our section and receives for it an agreed share of tlie pool.” Tlie other rouds, though carrying a .light freight, participate also in I lie “pool.” This practice pre vents fair business competition, and encourages Hie roads to dictate at will tlicir own tariff of rates. Thus, when we had a free water outlet to the Gulf coast we shipped our cotton at a rate of from 20 to 25 cents per hundred pounds. But recently, un- tcr llie “pooling system,” we had to pay the railroads from 65 to 90 cents per hundred pounds. This extortion demanded relief at once, and our peo ple again turned llieir attention to the river, and lo legislation. Witli n navigable river we hope at least to hold these “pooling" railroads to moderale rates of freight. Tlie counties contiguous to (lie riv er, as far ns surveyed, to-wil, Baker, Calhoun, Colquitt, Decatur, Dooly, Dougherty, Lee, Miller, Mitclieil, Sumter, 'Taylor, Terrell. Thomas, Worth and Macon have 959 845 acres nf improved laud and 1,548,319 acres yet lo lie improved. These counties, liv the census of 1870 produced 89,363 bales of cotton, 116,451 pounds of wool, 313,101 bushels of sweet pota toes, 226,319 bushels of corn, besides peas, syrup, &c., and since then there lias been a general increase of these productions. The report of ‘lie eu- iuccr in charge, of 1878, contains a statement of tlie trade on the Chatta hoochee and llie Flint, Hie latter be ing only navigable to Bainbridgc: Total 18,958 76 Amount expended 8,088 27 Amount available 10,870 27 Iii 1879 and 1880 the working party commenced at Fodder-slack shoals, and was prosecuting llie work up the river, lint working with but little progress. Tlie amount appropriated tliis year (1880) is $10,000 for the riv er from Albany to the junction ; and $10,000 from Albany, Georgia, to Montezuma. It will he seen that tlie Chattahoochee river up to 1878 re ceived nearly $70,'(XX), while tlie Flint received tint little, and since June 18, 1878, tlie Flint lias received $27,000. From this amount a deduction is to he made of expenditures for the fiscal years 1877 anil 1878, of $1,088.27. This is an ofiicia! history of the improve ments on Flint river.

AVe may safely conclude, first, flint there is a necessity for Hie improve ment of Flint river; and, secondly, Hint it is susceptible of being made a first-class navigable stream at a small cost. Cast Them Out Bradlnugh, the atheist, who was re cently elected a member of tlie Eng lish Parliament, lias been virtually denied admission to a scat in that body. A man who does not recog nize the existence of a God, or Ids own future accountability, would, ns a law-giver, he more dangerous to a nation than a legion of armed men, haltering down its defences. How is it possible that a creature, who de nies tlie source of all law and tlie very origin of responsibility, could legislate wisely for a people of whose civilization Christianity is the corner stone? No man who denies tlie source whence power conies, is fit to be entrusted wi'.h power. No man who denies tlie binding force of mor al obligation, who rejects the idea that there is any good outside of self, and who sneers at manly gratitude when its eyes beam Heavenward, is worthy of the confidence of men or the pity or brutes. It is just to im prison the inan who robs the defence less upon tlie highways. It is proper to meet with angry resistance those who would destroy Hie political rights of a people.

Along Hie streets, in all Hie public places, in private offices, and everywhere in and about tlie town, party feelings were laid aside in the general rejoicing over the nom ination. Old men, who had about reached the allotted “three score and ten" forgot tltoir long years of hitter political strife as they shook hands and discussed tlicir boyish recollec lions of “Winfield Hancock.” It was no longer Gen. Hancock to them, hut old Ben Hancock's liny “Winfield.” Colonel James Boyd, tlie Nestor of the Norristown liar, says: General Hancock will make a capital Presi dent. He is a mail of deliberate mind, not given to act under impulse, lie considers ajj his acis at any and every stage. 1 know it to lie a fact that tlie admiration of (lie Republicans here, who were witli him in (lie army, amounts to perfect idolatry, and you ran bet Ihey will vote tor him.

Never does fool- sh tilings; don’t think he could if lie tried. His promise is liis bond—not like Ilaycs, promising to do one tiling to-day .ind doing something directly opposite to-morrow. I think there is no question of his being elected. Dr. L. AV. Bead, Surgeon-General, says: “I am a Republican, but Han cock will get my vote, and there arc thousands more' tike me. AVliv, there is George Bullock, one of the strong est Republicans in this country, tlie owner of Hie immense mills at Bal- ligomiiigo—in fact, the owner of Hie village.

He, in a word, is a philanthropist in tlie true sense of the word, and wields an immense influ ence. He is a Radical Republican, but he lias announced his determina tion, if Hancock was nominated, to raise a Hancock flag on tho top of his mills, where it should wave through out tlie campaign. AVliy here, sitting right side of me, is C. L. Nycc, a Re publican. Now, what are you going to do, Nyce ?” “I shall vote for Hancock,’’ said Mr. Nyce. Dr. Win.

AVe Re publicans would rather have seen another man nominated.” Out of the many telegrams receiv ed by General Hancock yesterday upon his nomination, tlie following from Major-General Schuyler Hamil ton, who served during tlie Mexican war on the stnff of General Scott, and who was run through tlie body by a lance at Mira Flores, speaks for it self: “I am a Republican of the blnckest stripe, hut as an old friend I congrat ulate the man into whose arms 1 fell bleeding almost to death, after Mira Flores, on the honor he lias attained through his spotless reputation. If I may not vote for you, I may congrat ulate you as your sincere friend, ad mirer and feiiow soldier. Schuyler Hamilton.” Tlie army-worm, now devastating parts of Long Island and New Jer sey, is so called because it appears in such large numbers, and because, like others of it species, it moves in columns and follows a lender. It. is a caterpillar, the larva of a moth, and noted for its voracity, as it well may be, since it can cat, it is said, more than double its own weight in twen ty-four hours. Although less glut tonous, as a rule, it is more destruc tive than tlie locust, from its greater fecundity and wider distribution over the vegetable world. It feeds on leaves, flowers, roots, buds, seeds, even the wood of plants, indeed, it is ncarlv omniverons. The worm is as serted to march in regular and exact order: it lives in society, and moves in procession cither in single file, or two, three and four abreast, the line' being so perfect in tlie columns Hint tlie head of one is never beyond tlie head of nnollicr in the row. Ii fol lows tlie leader, slopping when the lender stops, making journeys from plant to plant or from tree to tree in quest of food, and returning to its nest in tlie same order. The worms form ranks, inarch and halt witli Hie precision of soldiers. AVhen several nesls are in the same neighborhood llie going loriii and Hie coining hack of llie creeping hnllalions al llie same hour, rnnimoiily toward nightfall, is very curious and interesting. Cater pillars include more Hum one thole - and varieties, there being seven hun dred iu New England alune. They all have thirteen segments, llie tirs't consisting of jaw and mouth, Hie second, third and fourth of tlie thor ax of tlie future insect, and Hie other segments of tho abdomen. Tlicir rap id growth and extraordinary con sumption are shown by the common silk worm, which, according to A’in- ccnzo Dniidolo’s (realise on' silk, in creases, during Hie thirty days neces sary to its full growth, from one to forty lines iu length, and Imm one- hundredth to about ninety-live grains in weight. In Hint time, therefore, it increases its weight nine thousand five hundred lime, and cats fifty thousand limes its weight of food.— In tlie Northern Slates there arc about one thousand kinds of butter flies and moths. As each female lays from two hundred to five hundred eggs, these species would produce, on nn average, from cacli single fe male tiiree hundred thousand cater pillars iu a year. If one-half ol these were females the second generation would he forty-five millions anil Hie third six billions seven hundred ami fifty millions.
