AKD HARBOR BILL. A. bill passed the Haase of Representatives on the 18th iost, by a tote of 96 to 74, appro priating between two and three million dollars for river and harbor improvements. The way this large sum la made up illustrates foroibly jhe manner in whioh such bills are usually “ got up ” and carried through the House. It is a system of “ log rolling ” leading to a most ex travagant waste of the publio money, if not oheoked by the Senate or the President. It shows too, one good reason why this general sys tem of internal improvements is not favored generally by the Democratic party. In order to seoare a suLioient number of votes ' to pass the bill through the House, and possibly the Senate, a large number of appropriations aze&iefoded in the same bill, providing for im provements in ali the different Btates and sec tions of the country. Members then feel con strained to vote for it, or be subjected to the charge of having defeated appropriations for the benelt of their own districts. The bill now pending |n the Senate is got up in this way, ns our readers will eee, in reading the long list of items, which we publish for the benefit of all concerned, and as an illustration of the beauties of log rolling legislation. Many of the appro priations contained ia it would reodtye very few votes if they stood alone, and depended on their own. merits. But thrown into a geoeral bill they must be voted for or votes will b°e lost for other objects of real merit Then; if a Democratic President vetoesit for such glaring defects, and each wasteful extravagance, he is soundly abused by the Whigs, and charged with sacrifi cing the interests of the country. The following are the appropriations contain ed in the bill: Vor tb« improvement of tht MissUatypi River, balovr the $18,600; Detncriaat Rapid*, $84,000 ; Dubuqat H&r- Uor, $10,000; litioob River, $18,000; Mlttouri River, $40,- 000; Ohio River, $190,000.

But it must be snbmiued to as one of the neoes •ary evils of general appropriation bills, nod log rolling legislation, or the whole bill would be lost. What its fate may be in the Senate is doubtfal- Bat probably many of the items will be stricken oat. If so, it will have to go back to the Honse for concurrence or non-ooncurrenoe; and, as the session is near its close, Congress may probably adjourn without passing it. Should it pass in ths form In which it passes the House, it is very doubtful whether It will receive the"approval of the Executive. Moderate appropriations for tha improvement of rivbrs and harbors, where each object stands JrEfefljfc = on own meritß « &n( l is clearly national, would not bfl ob J ectionable t 0 any party.

No less than eight deaths from Cholera occur red on'Monday night among the inmates of the Catholic Orphan Asylum, Cincinnati. In consequence of a transposition of figures in onr article on the health of Chicago, we give It another insertion this morning. The Chicago mail failed last night. Two Irishmen, named Charles Langhlin and Thomas Kelly, were assassinated in a Coffee House in Louisville, on Saturday night. The deed was done so suddenly that the parties were neither arrested or reoogoixed. Cholera in Cbicago —The whole number of deaths in Chicago for the month of June was threo hundred and thirty three, of whioh one hundred and forty-two only were from Cholera. The total nathber of deaths from July Ist to July Bth, inclusive, at which time the Board of Health commenced making daily reports, was two hun-' dred and forty-two, of which one hundred and ninety-five were reported by the city sexton to be of cholera. Since then, the deaths have been as follows: Dayl 9tb 10th lUh 12ih 13th 14th i. 35 h 16th....;.. 17th----- 19th....L. 20tb....;.. 2ist 23J :JULY 27. From the report of the last two days, the dis ease appears to be on the increase; but this is attributed to the excessive heat. No one can look over this table without beiog etruok by the extraordinary number of deaths from other dis eases for a oity of the sixe of Chicago. It is probable, therefore, that a number of those at tributed to other diseases are cut a milder type of the epidemic disease. Got their Dander Up.—The people of Chica go are very indignant at a correspondent of the N. Y. Herald , who informed that very fast pa per the people were dying off like sheep—some : 100 per day—and it was impossible in many in stances to prooure coffins, and they were conse quently buried in their ordinary clothes. The indignant oitisens intimate lhat if they could discover bis name, he would be supplied with a metallio ooffin—gratis! One man who offers $5O to discover the libeller, is also Very mnch out raged at the Hegira of certain citixens who re fused to face Iherousic,! but fled—spreading their •• pale faced fears ” far and wide.; Some men who have, held offices of honor and profit, ran away when the danger came, and left the re mainder to get along as best they oonid. It was entirely natural for them to do so; for they were obeying the first law of nature; bnt wheth er the first law of oature should be obeyed is ano ther question. At any rate, these fugitives will hardly be burtbened with offices of honor and profit, beyond their present terms. Still They Comb.—Almost every day we pre sent onr readers with interesting letters from different quarters; from Paris ; from Liverpool; from California, Washington, Harrisburg; from Lake Superior, Bedford Spriogs &o. All the tett ers are written by correspondents who are intelli gent and reliable, and write letters well worth reading. No paper, west of the Alleghenies, has so many correspondents who write interest ing and excellent letters. We do not always en dorse the views and sentiments of our corres pondents, but generally they are sound in prin ciple, and on political subjects of the right stri pc. Our readers will find these letters worth a perusal. We said some time ago, that no expense or labor would be spared to make the Post the best paper of the west, **if toe know koto (o do it. !> So far as correspondence is concerned, we are redeeming our promise.

While some of the workmen were employed on the beach, at the Morriches, in rescuing the car go from the wrecked steamer Franklin, they picked up a piece of timber, which was of a very dark color, and completely* covered with sea weed and barnacles. Thinking it might be a stray bit of mahogany, they scrubbed it off with a stiff brush, when it was found to be noth ing but rotten ash.

Washington, July 24, 1854. j Tbe Senate has finally acted definitely on the Homestead bill, baring adopted and passed substantially the substitute offered by Mr. Hun ter, one of the Virginia Senators. This bill now presents a new system to some exten in the man* ogement of the public lands, and will relieve Congress, hereafter, from this most troublesome •and annoyingsubject. The principal features of Mr. Hunter's bill are the cession of the lands under oertaincircumstances to the States in which they lie; at a fixed price, the graduation of tbe price of tbo lands from one dollar and a quarter, down to twelve and a half oents, ac cording to the; length of tbe time they bare been in the ~ market, and tbo extension of tbe pre emption privilege, seouriug to the actual settler a quarter section of laud for five years, at the enl of which period, by the payment of twenty five cents per :aore, tbe occupant will receive a fee simple title to his quarter section. The pe culiar feature: of tbe original bill, which pro tected the homestead forever from liability for debts, has been stricken out, aud for good rea sons. According to Mr. Hunter's bill, the mo ment tbe occupant receives n fee simple title to his land, it passed under the exclusive jurisdic tion of tbe laws of the Slate iu wbioh it may lie ; if a homestead law prevails in the State, tbe law will apply to tbe ‘occupant of this quarter sefflHHßVw original bill was objected to on the ground that it would oonflict with State legislation concerning matters over whioh tbo Slates have exclusive control. A State may have adopted ono law on the subject of homesteads, and Congress, in that case, would have made another to prevail in the same State. —a-circumstance exhibiting at a-glance tbe doubtful propriety of this feature of the origi nal bill. Tbe substitute, however, is believed to embrace all the material features of tbo origi nal bill, and presents a basis upon which tbe whole Democratic party oan uuite. It is a mark ed oircumstanoe that tbe bill received tbe sup port of every Democrat in tbe Senate. Whether the House will have time lo act fioally oh this billduring the present session, cannot be fore seen, but an effort will certainly be made to dis pose of the laud question forever at the prosent session.

The House have had under consideration some of tbe appropriation bills, but I notice nothing in their connection requiring particular meotiqh. Mr. Sumner continues to present occasionally a petition for the repeal of tbo fugitive slave law, or tbe re-enaotment of the Missouri prohi bition, and on one or two oooasione, difeoasions bare followed, growing out of his reniarks ac companying this presentation. Under a repre sentative government such as ours, the right of petition has no real existence except io the case of individuals who ask of Congress redress for private grievances, or settlement of just claims. The right does. not exist, because it is unneces sary. Besides; a petition is made by the infe rior.to tbe superior; but uoder this government tbe people are supreme, and their representa tives the inferiors. Suppose every citizen of a oertain Congressional District in Massachusetts were to sign a petition for the repeal of the fugitive slave law, and send it to Cougiess; what effect would it have? The signers could give instructions only to their own immediate representative, and have no right or claim to consideration froqi other representatives. Each member is responsible to his own immediate constituents and to no others. Tbe presenta tion of petitioos, therefore, is a useless ceremony, '-fiVcting nothing. If a representative does not represent bis constituents truly, they will be pretty certain, at the succeeding election, to be more careful in tbeir selection; and this is tbe way, through tbo ballot box, that tbo freemen of this country command obedience to their wishes, and are not compelled to resort to begging peti tions, which are never heard of after their pre sentation. la monarchical countries the right of petition is valuable, because it° is tbe only moms of redress witlnu the reach of tbe op pressed; but"-where the people rule, to resort to petition to svOure the accomplishment of their wishes, is an admission of superiority ou the part of tbe representatives inconsistent with tbe rights of the constituent and tbe genius of this Government. The President has signed tbe bill appropria ting $140,000 for the removal of certain obstruc tions In the Cape Fear River, North Carolina., These obstructions to the navigation of the River were placed there by tbo General Government, and the President basc6 his sanction of tbe bill expressly on tbe ground that it is within the duty cf the Government to remove these obstruc tions, and make tbe navigation of tbe River ns good as it wm originally. It is apparent from tbo brief message assigning the reason for ap proving of this bill, that tbe President will veto a general river and harbor bill, doubtless upon the same grounds urged by Mr. Polk iu his veto of a similar bill, -, A LOOKER ON. Messrs.

Bbdfobd Spawns, July 28,1884. Messrs. Editors .‘—Leaving Pittsburgh at 1 o’clock on tbe fast train of the Pennsylvania Railroad, I arrived at Altbona fn something less than 6 hours, tbe length of time which, before the completion of the great tunnel, was usually occupied by passengers in getting over the inclined planes. The road at present is in fine order and appears to be well managed, and if It were not for the danger of the great power wielded by auch an immense corporation In pro curing corrapt and improper legislation for tbe furtherance of its own interests, I have no doubt it will add greatly to the prosperity of the commonwealth In the vast amount of travel which it will attract to it, and in the develop ment of its hitherto almost hidden resources. We stopped for tea at tbe new hotel, where I found our old friend Wm. S. Campbell, in all his glory. The hotel itself is worthy of the land lord, and when it is completed will compare fa vorably with our own Monongahels House, or the Girard in Philadelphia. When you know that Campbell is proprietor, I need not tell yon that tbe table Is quite a different thing from that which in former times greeted the eyes of hun gry travelers at the Mountain House and which, if imprecations had any substance, would have sunk under a greater weight of oaths and eurses issuing from disappointed stomachs than Ossa would have had to bear even were Pellon piled on its top. After taking tea we went on the intersection a distance of some 6 miles to Hollidaysburg, where we stopped for tbo night. The ladies of the party complained bitterly in the mornlDg of a small red animal, with a broad back, fashioned something after that of a turtle, which seemed to claim the beds and rooms, by a pre-emption right or prior survey. I must oonfess, however, they made no attempts to eject me, or if they did I was impervious to tbeir.attacks, and was not even aware of their until informed of it in the morning. After breakfasting at Hollidaysburg we took the stage at 8 o'clock for the 3prings, where we arrived, after a very disagreeable ride over a very rough and dirty road, at 4 o'clock jn the after noon. ' The Springs are situate about a mile and a half south-west of Bedford, at tbe foot of some high mountains, and are surrounded by some of tbe finest aod most romantic scenery in the oountry. Nature has done every thing here— man nothing. The improvements are on a very diminutive scale, calculated for tbe accommoda tion of some 800 visitors, where they ought to be for 3000. The fare is miserable—worse even than it was some two years ago, when I was here before, and I suppose it will continue tbe same until tbe property ie purchased by some Company who will conduct it on different princi ples. Tbe people who are in the habit of fre quenting this place yearly will be glade to hear of auy change. There are now over three hun dred guests here, and the bouses are overcrowd ed. Yesterday three stage loads were sent away for want of accommodations. Pittsburgh is very largely represented. I never saw so many from our smoky city In any former year; and it is admitted on all hand*, here, that our ladies ars pre-eminently fair. If I were a ladies man, (yon know I am not,) 1 would individualize and name you three or four who live on Psnn street, between Hand street and the Monongahels, who would oarry off tbe palm anywhere,—one, in particular, with whom a bachelor lees susceptible than myself would have reason for considering his heart in danger. There are a large number of Democrats here from all parts of the State. General Foster, from Westmoreland, H. P. Laird, from tbe same place, General George Lauman, from Dauphin, Major Reynolds, from Lewistown, Chambers M’Kibben, from Philadelphia ; L. Reichert, from Lancaster; Judge Hepburn aod James B. Saw yer, from Allegheny; G. P. Hamilton having left yesterday. There is alar a sprinkling of Whigs, among whom are tome very elever fellows, such as Cowan, of Westmoreland; Kunkel, of Dauphin ; A. Curtin aod R. Cowan, of Pittsburgh. The Democrats are seen in consultation, and are said to be comparing notes. What may be tbe result of this deliberation 1 cannot now ad vise you. The name of Col. M’Candless, of our place, is frequently mentioned as oar next Uoi ted States Senator. General Foster is also spo ken of in connection with the same station. They are both men of talent, and sterling Democrats. The politicians here all want to know something about the ,a Know-Nothings.” Can you give tbe desired information?
