better than the previous year. d year
ago the floating debt was $53.39 5 ; now

Gsammar. CaztanoN, with that far
sightedness which is' one of his leading
peculiarities, has, fora long period, ad
vocated making a slack-water naviga
tion on the Ohio, from the head at this
city to the Falls at Louisville. If this
idea shall ever be realized, or. LC it
should be consummated so f,r as from
this point to the mouth of the Beaver,
this enlargement project would assume
national importance.

Abought to make Gen. Grant a tool for
the accomplishment of some of his pur
pines against Congress and the laws; and
failed. Tnat he is mortified at his lack
of moms& is natural enough; but a
sense of decent shame aliould have re
strained:him froni accusing the General
of deceiving . him and betraying his con
fidence. The President is himself the
most conspicuous and perfidious betray.
er this age has produced. Re
ceiving vast patronage. and authority
from the ReOuldiesma, he. has used it all
to defeat their plans and frustrate their
principles.. 'Under ouch circumstances
what right has. be to -complain that the
General "changed his mind?" But It
so happens that the officer thus assailed
...stands firm enough in his integrity and
in the confidence of all citizens who bear
true allegiance to the country, to put all
his accusers to complete discomfiture.

" Anything to yours in reply to it to the
