A dispatch of the 11th instant from
Shreveport, La., announces the closing of
the great raft, through which a passage
was cat by the Federal Government last

to attempt the reopening of the passage.
Chatham County is troubled about the

W* learn by a dispatch of Friday night,
from New Orleans, that* argument on the
motion to certify certain points in the
case of the Grant Parish prisoners to the

be heard on tho 20tli inst., when Justice

is upon the constitutionality of the Ka-

The Nashville and Chattanooga Rail
road took into Chattftiioogn, on Monday
last, J 77 cars of morohuudize and 2 ot

cara that stopped in Chattanooga; and
carried North on tho same day only 41
cam, doubtless tunny of them empty.
Thia disproportion, iih respects loaded
cars, is not now »» unusual thing, bntoue
of almost daily occurrence. It shows to
what a great and ruinous extent the Mouth
is purchasing Northern and Western mer
chandize uud products, without sending,
at thia time of tho year, roturu products
in exchange. It creates a drain which
nothing but oottou could stand for two

The Philadelphia Inquirer (Republican
paper) is much bothered ubout the object
of tho President's finnuoiul manifesto.
It says, “ There is a great deal about tho
method, the occasion and the matter of
this broenro that is very mystorioas ; the
President knows his purposo—the public
can enly be curious about it.” Tho In
quirer also directs attention to tho fact
that “the Republican papers*—those which
■tend firmly by She elevated principles of
the party through ull chauges—havo re
ceived tho 4 Memorandum ’ either iu
marked silence or with words of regretful
condemnation. On the other hand, the
ouly papors which havo iu any way ap-
proved the rotnurkuhlo Presidential 4 Mo-
mocandum’ are those which are known to
be bitterly and determinedly hostile to
the Republican party uud the administra
tion.”
The Gadsden Times says, noticing tho
recent sale of the Fust Alabama A Cin
cinnati Railroad to Virgil Murphey A
Co. : “It is expected that the road will
now pass into the hands of the Nashville
A Chuttiiuooga und St. JLouiH railroads,
and that it will be built from Bridgeport
to Gadsdeu, via Guntersville, and from
Grtdsdon to L-iFayette, Ala., via Oxford.
This will give the Nashville A Chatta
nooga lUilrond a short line to the Mouth
Atlantic seaboard, viu the Musoogeo and
Macon A Brunswick roads, and as this
line will be some too miles shorter than
any projected route between tho great
Northwest und Mouthoust Atlantic coast,
it will entitle this road to the uuliro Green
Line through freight, which iu itself is
an iimueuse business.
The Atl&uta Constitution thinks that
recent bloody occurrences iu Pickens
county, Ga., prove the existence of an
other “Murrell clan” in that couuty. The
late murder of 11. G. Turner by two boy-,
and tho sinking of his body iu Mhoul
creek, iu that county, has already been
noticed ; so bus the discovery of the body
of a inuu named Fdsards, who had been
murdered neur the saiuo locality. A man
named Evans is now said to havo boon
lately murdered by some of the gang
because ln> threatened to expose thorn.
The Constitution says that the grand
jury of the couuty li-«ve found over thirty
true bills against parties mispoctod of
connection with tho gang, uud that some
of them have find; also, that tho clan u
now regarded as brokon up, and tho peo-
plo of the county breathe freer. It will
be remembered that Pickens was a coun
ty of very bad notoriety during the exist
ence of the Confederacy, being the refuge
and place of protection of many deserters
and desperadoes.
The Financial hill pnsssd by tho Senate
of the United S.a’es on Friday,was the bill
reported by the Committee of Conference.
It was agreed upon by that committee ns
a compromise, and was approved und re
commended by fill its members except
Mr. Clymer, a hard-money Democrat from
Pennsylvania. It does not differ materi-
•Ur from the htl) which the Seuato bad
previously passed, which tho House
amended, and which was then referred to
this eomuiiiteo. It provides for free bank-
iag, end for the retirement of legal ten-
den to (be amount of IITJ per cent, of
increase of National Bonk notes under

peala former luuiiutious of the amount of

the limit of Treasury note circulation at

mom amount outstanding shall be drawn
downto £800,000,000. The provision for
the redemption of notes in bonds or gold
does not materially differ from that origi-
nally attached to the first House bill.

APPROPRIATION FOR FLINT AMD I
CHATTAHOOCHEE RIPER*.
AnGUMENT
OF
HON. HENRY R. HARRIS,
OF GEORGIA.
Mr. Chairman The amendment pro-
Church!—Ihere it ft chnneo of .elding I . hy tho honuruble Sonfttor from
° Georgia, | Mr. GurdonJ a*»ks for a small
appropriation from the Government, to
bo applied to cleaning out and improving
the navigation of the Flint and Chattahoo
chee rivers, in order, Mir, that the com
mittee may fully comprehend the impor
tance and appreciate the great necessity
of the work proposed, w.e respectfully
submit to your consideration the follow
ing facts; most of which sre of record,
and may be found in Executive Docu
ment, No. 241, second session of the For-
ty-lRird Congress : From Columbus, Ga.,
(which is the head of navigation on tho
ChtUshoochee river,) to Apalachicola
Bay, the distance is tour hundred miles.
At Bainbridgethe Chattahoochee andFiiut
riveis unite, thus giving fifty miles more
of navigation, connecting with Albany,
tho h> a 1 of navigation on Flint river, a
growiug ;ity in the centre of the groat
cotton art*a of Mouthwestern Georgia.
Tho country bordering on the Flint,
Chattahoochee and Apalachicola rivers
constitutes one of tbo most remurkablo
and inviting sections of the Mouth. Mild
in climate, fertile iu soil, abundant in
water power, it is rich in resources aliko
fur agricultural aud manufacturing pur
poses. Here corn, outs, cotton, sugar
cane, the orange, and tobacco may be
grown in the vory highest perfection.
Hoi > also, within easy access, are to be
found inexhaustible forests of the most
valuable pine, cypress, and cedar timbers,
to be hud at very low rates, and which
thereby offer superior inducements to
lumber dealers. Along these livers are
located extensive cotton plantations, the
owners and laborers of which are vory
largely dependent on «thcH6 streams for
transportation. In this connection, J ask
you, Mr. Chairman, to mark the language
of the engineer iu bis Report to the Hoc-
ref ary of War.
Mr. Harris hero submitted figures and
extracts from tho Report, showing tho
extent of river navigation to bo iuiprovod
by the appropriation/, tho character of
tbo country, its valuable timber and the
variety of Us productions; the trade aud
manufacturing capital of Columbus ; the
former trade of Apalacbicoln, its cotton
receipts, Ac. ; tho several railroads cen
tering at Columbus ; the trade and rail
road connections of tho olhor cities and
towns on the Chatluhooohco and Flint
rivers ; and tho reasons why the rivor
trade has so greatly diminished—ull those
data constituting a very strong argument
in favor of tho ro-opeuing of tho trade,
if &u improvement of tho river navigation
can (.fleet it. As thot.o statistics are
familiar to most of our readers, and wore
furnished for the iufoimation of Con
gressmen from distant parts of the coun
try, we need not copy them here. After
submitting them, Mr. Harris continued :j
In 1871, the preceding table shows that
Columbus manufactured goods to tho
uuiouut of $1,800,000. During tho same
your the receipts of raw cotton amounted
ill value to $0,500,000, while her sales of
merchandise reached $3,012,000, making
a total of $12,012,000. When wo add to
this the trade of Eufaula, Fort Gaines,
Bainbridgo, Albany, Apalachicola, uud
other points along tho Flint nud Chatta
hoochee rivers, 1 think that the aggregate
trade may bo safely estimated at $50,000,-
000 annually. The facts thus aggregated
dearly demonstrate tho iinportai.ee of tho
work on these rivers, for the accomplish
ment of which this appropriation Isuskud.
And there is still another great fact, which
exists throughout the agricultural regions
of tho Mouth, aud which imperatively de
mands tho improvement of their iulaud
navigation ns a national necessity.
1 need not say to gentlemen so well in
formed, and who mo so familiar with
the condition of every portion of the
country as you who constitute this com
mittee are, Unit for the la-t several years
the great productive industries of tho
Mouth and West lmvo languished and de
clined, until they have reached a point of
prostration where they are no longer re-
nmueiative. 1 will not lax your time and
patience with a discussion of tho several
cmiiftCB which havo couspirod to produce
thia anomalous condition. But chief
aiming these causes are to ho found two
which may be remedied by legislative
enactment. Tho one is the very high
rate of interest which the producers have
boon compelled to pay on money under
our existing financial policy, aud to which
1 ouly allude incidentally; und the other
is tho limited and consequently high rotes
of transit tation to which the pioducts
of these sections have boon and now are
subjected. In tho Cotton States the effect
of these iufiiienosH h sheen mi li ns to in
crease tin cost, tf producing cotton beyond
the point if its market value. This an
nouncement, startling us it may appear,
is nevertheless susceptible of demonstra
tion us n truth ; nud lienee, sir, it is that
in face of the fact that tho Cotton States
have annually produced, for several years
past, over $.”25,000,000of cotton in value,
the producers, who have created nud added
this uluioHt fabulous amount to the na
tion’s wealth, have themselves, as a class,
grown steadily pooler aud poorer. Ami
such is their condition to-day that you
have, sir. hut to look abroad over tho land
and see these honest tillers of tho soil be
reft of foitnno—dented tho fruits of their
labor—‘ having nothing, nud yet making
many rich”—bankrupt, although po^setB-
ed of limit let's energies aud boiiudiess re
sources.
Our people feel keenly tho difficulties
that environ, uud the disadvantages that
have* for yens past depressed aud para
lyze.! their productive industries. They
know full well tho only remedy and path
way of deliverance out of their troubles.
Blest as they are ^ith the will, they ouly
uoeil the means of extricating themselves;
uud it is both withiu (ho province and the
power of the Government to .supply this
necessity. With abundant precedents to
plead, u tens© of justice to inspire, and a
eon sciolism»..»«»f light to embolden, they
ask at tho hands of the General Govern
ment such assistance as thtir section
needs—it being only such ns the Govern
ment 1ms been long accustomed to extend
with generous bounty to other sections
and people of our common country.
Anil here again lot me callyour attention*
Mr. Chairman, to the laugunge of the eu-
gim\ r who made and reported tho partial
survey of these rivers. Ho says that, “there
is one groat pressure lying on the full de
velopment of tho South. While tho North
has, since IStivV, never stopped its activity
Mid progress- Ins received improvement
after improvement; while harbors aud
rivers were improved, ship canals dug, Ac.,
nothing lias been done for the South ; its
harbors have filled up, its rivers have be
come wild streams; it has nothiug but a
few badly managed railroads which exert
a shameless monopoly, ami which, as long
as the country is coutlued to them alone,
must, by their tremendous rates of
freights, necessarily produce a pressure
much felt by trade aud industry. Free
public natural routes of couuuuuicatiou
and transportation aro the great want of
the South.” And speakiug as oue who is
in full accord, both iu sympathy and in
terest, with tho producers of the country,
and as one having practical knowledge of
their condition, wants and necessities, I
sav with all possible candor, that unless
the producer i of the S nub can successful,
ly invoke me luierponiliou of the Govern-
uiout uud thereby secure a lower rate of
interest upou money, and cheaper rates of
transportation for their coiumodites, bv
opening up to her commerce tho natural
routes of water transportation, her great
agricultural resources which constitute
her only source of subsisteace aud wealth,
aud by which she has contributed so much
to building up the varied manufacturing
interests of the whole country, and in ex
tending the internal as well as the exter
nal commerce of the nation, cannot much
longer yield her accustomed und generous

bo seen, “Ye Olde Folkos’ 1 have volun
teered to give their entertainment for this
worthy objeot; and having seen tho last
performance, we can assert it is as good

and so thoroughly pure, artistic aud en
joyable, that every man, woman and child
should bo out Tuesday night, and have a

takiug that baa been “banging fire” too

NEW FU HEM'AT ION M.
From Lee A Mhepatd, Boston, we have
reeeived the following works :
licaten Paths—“A Woman's Vocation,”
by Mrs. Ella M. Thompson. It is the
story of a number of Judies, who, without
a male escort, recently made the tour of
Europe, pushing over tbo beaten paths of
Groat Britain and the Continent, which
have groan to be as familiar to the Amer
ican reader as the Hudson river. A bar
ren field,^one would think, for originality,
yet Mrs. Thompson, evidently a woman
of great reading and culture, has given oh
a fresh and interesting book on a subject
which we imagined a thousand pens and
a hundred guido-books hud exhausted.
The book is filled with quaint epigrammatic
expressions and allusions that provo tho
author knew more about Europe before
leaving Boston than nine-tenths of the
intelligent continental travelers. This
tittle volume combines entertainment
with information, and is so modest withal
that Mrs. Thompson and her friends are
rarely alluded to, and thou only uuder
assumed names.
Papa's Own (Jirl (a novel), by Mario
Howland, is a work of decided merit from
a literary standpoint; but it belongs to
that “advanced school of fiction” W’hioli
we hope will be long in becoming popu
lar; and yet, in her socialistic ,tbeork'8,
we must concede the author has all tho
argument on her side. To redeem a wo
man who has fallen, and place her on n
high social pe leslal, is a noble work; uud
to argue that the man who works her ruin
is uovor punished is true. Yet woman is
the guardian of doinoHtio purity, and the
world, in its jealousy of undoubted de
scent, will never acquiesce in any inovo-
uiont th&t may tend to impure tho cur
rent. Divorce and remarriage may bo
necessary uud right., but to make people
who avail themselves of it conspicuous us
good people ia to undermine tho social
fabric, aud encourage tho vory thing all
contemplating marriage should guard
against. “A social palace,” whore pooplo
ever live in common, may be very grand
and fine in theory; but home, in u novel,
tends more to perpetuate viituo—tbo love
of home, country aud God—than all the
artificial fabrics erected by theorists. Tho
book may be read us a gaud typo of its
class ; but wo think it docidodly danger
ous, aud all the more ao that it is very
able.

country must not and cannot be much

wealth and prosperity.
The truth of this statement is unmis
takably vindicated in the numberless or
ganizations which are being formed by
the producers throughout the agricultural
districts of the great West aud Mouth.
These combinations give forth no uncer
tain utterances; they are the develop,
mentsof the necessity that oppresses their
section, and extorts from them the almost
universal cry for cheaper money and
cheajtcr transportation. Extend to these
poor but noble, honest tillers of the soil
that fostering maternal hand which has so
long guided and nourished the material
interests of other sections of the country;
meet out to the Month and West that men
sure of assistance which their vast produc
tive resources so urgeutly demand, nnd
which the immeasurable benefits accruing
from such a policy would fully justify,
and soon will these sections spring forth
into new life and activity, aud gladden

rennial streams of wealth with which they
will replenish our depleted national treas

Debate in the Assembly—Tbe Assem
bly Refuses te Censure tbe
Government.
Paris, June 13.—In the Assembly to
day the second reading of the municipal
electoral bill was concluded.
M. D<; Leviile, of the Loft Centre, asked
the Government to inform the House
what course it intended to pursue toward
the Bonapartist who ignored or defied
tbe decision of the Assembly.
Bethmont, of the Left, called attention
to the statement made yesterday by M.
Fourtou, Minister of the Interior, in rela
tion to llie recent disturbance, that the
statement implied that the police and
Radical deputies were equally to blame,
Tbe Minister who made it ought not to
bo retained in office another moment.
The Government was culpable in not re
moving him.
Picard, of the Left Centre, pointed to
the long immunity from Government in
terference which the Bonapartist journal
Lc Paya, had enjoyed, and declared that
Fourtou was unworthy of confidence.
Fourtou replied he declined to retract
anything ho had said. The Assembly
should await the result of the enquiry,
which had been ordered into the recent
deplorable occurrences. In conclusion he
assured (he Chamber that the Ministry
was determined to make President Mac-
Muhon’s authority respected.
Bethmont then moved a vote of censure
against the ministry which was rejected
by a vote of 377 to 326.
About the time of return of the par
liamentary train to Paris this evening a
large number of people begau to assem
ble around tho station, but the crowds
were soon dispersed by the police, and
there was no disturbance on the arrival
of tho Deputies.
The Bonapartist propaganda is very
active, especially iu the barracks.
It is considered certain St. Croix in
H’riking Gambetta yesterday acted in ac
cordance with u pre-arranged plan of tho
party leaders to provoke a duel.
Copies of Lc Pays were seized by the
police this evening as soon as they were
issued.

London, June 13—5 a. m.—The Times
Ins the following dispatch, dated Paris,
June 12, midnight:
“l’he Boulevards are crowded to-night.
All tho cafes aro full. An immense con
flagration is visible in the northern part
of the city. The freight statiou of the
Northern Railroad is in fhtnos. All the
firemen of the city are hurrying to the
spot, and thousands of policemen and
soldiers are going in the same direction.
Tbe fire began at 10 o’clock.
“The Government has rosolved, in ad
dition to the temporary suppression of
Le Pays, to commence proceedings
against its proprietors for violation of the
press laws.”
Tbe DUordcr* Checked— St. Croix
Ordered to Prison for Nix
Month* and Fined 200f.
Paris, June 18.—The measures adopted
by the Government to prevent a repeti
tion of the scones of yesterday and Thurs
day at the Western Depot, proved effec
tual. At noon, the hour of departure of
tho deputies’ train, there was no more
thuu the usual bustle at the station.
Mt. Croix was brought before the Police
Court for assaulting Gambetta, and sen
tenced to six months’ imprisonment and
pay a fine of two hundred francs ; also
ordered to pay the costs of his trial. Ho
decliued to accept legal assistance.
Tho rioters who were arrested Thursday
evening werd sent to prison for terms
rungiug from uweek to a month.
The llonapartlMt* Active.
It is reported that the violence of the
Bonitp irtists during the past few days is
part of a conspiracy they have enterod
into to bring ubout a dissolution of the
Assembly, and appeal to the country
through a plebiscite.
A semi official note protests against the
newspaper accounts of the lata difficulties
as mischievously provocative of the
oitemeut nud hut red, and expresses the
hope that the measures already taken by
tho Goverumeut to restore quiet aud pre*
vent further trouble will prove sufficient.
