With a fow more dams and booms in Iho stroam, raftmen will bo compollod to abandon their business, because of the hariaid that must be encountered and the lolls that will be imposed on every thousand fcot of lumber.

Tbo Washington correspondent of th New York Herald, In alluding lo tbis transgression, tays: ' ' ' "Army officers bore ox pross aston ishment that th President, himself an army man and fully alive to army sentiment, should consent to such a mililury scandal as tho promotion of his son, a more youth, from tbe rank of Second Lieutenant to that of Lieu tenant Colonel in tbo army, through tbe mere subterfuge of an appoint ment as Military Secretary to tbe Lioutonant General undor th aot of July 25, 18G6. Worse than all is the enforced rotiremont, to make a place for Lioutonant Grant, ot the present Military Soorctary, George A. For syth, a full major in. tbo line of the army and of groat reputation for gal lantry as a volunteor cavalry oflfcor during the late war and in oonnocllon with a noted Indian battle sinco the war. The Jjioutcnant Gonoral has two other Lieutenant Colonels on his personal staff James W. Forsyth, Sheridan's Chief of Staff while in com mand of tbe cavalry corps of tbo Ar my of tbe Poiomao, and Michael V. Sheridan, brother of the Lioutonant General. Theao aides-de-camp both bold lowor commissions, in the line to make tbem eligible for appointment as staff officers. Tbe General of tbe Army is allowed six aides, all witb the rank and pay ot colonel, undor tbe act of 1800 and has that full number now on his staff, four of tbo six being purely ornaments." And has it come to this? Even Oakos Ames, tho leader of the Credit Mobilicr swindlo, declares that he could not stomach tho back salary grab, and boasts that he voted against the measure. He ha even gone farth er, and is credited with having essayed a witticism ut tbe expense of the grab- bors. - He is reported to have said to i black tli ut "this Is a bigger stoal than Credit Mohilier." . "How so!" asked Ni black. "Why," repliod Ames, "the men who had that stock did pay a little for it, but this is all ttcal." Goi.no to Wed. Tho cities oi Pitts burg and Allegheny are trying lo anil "for better or worso, under one mu nicipal government. The only diffi culty appears to bo that tine out of ten ol tho male inhabitants 0! llio two cities ere aspirants fot mayorality honors and think that chances are belter, two to ono, with sopnruto city governments. Donaldson, tho Roading aronaut, contemplates a trip to Europe, by bal loon, on tho fourth of July. His starling point will bo Boston; whore ho will hind ia nnothor question.
