citizens, wu handed us for publication

when the news of the defeat of our
townsman M. NAMacker, fox quo

who took no part in politics, but who
.have great pride In our city, were loud
in their denunciation of that traitorous
sheet, the Commercial, for its onslaught
on Mr. Mackey. It Is seldom that Pitts
burghers are honored with the gilt of a
State oMce, and when one of their num
ber wu fairly nominated, and then
slaughtered by bolting Republicans,
under the thumb of Democr4s, and

funn our citizens, and fOr no other rea
sons, except personal spleen and malice,
It Is time all wbo have any local pride
should know what the "squatters" who
ran the Commercial get out of the "sub
stantial advantages' for their share In
the defeat of Mr. Mackey. We suppose
this flip flap skeet. will claim all the honor
in defeating a worthy , Pittsburgher and
electing a man who is pledged to give the
spoils to the Democrats, and run the of
fice in behalf of that party. Pittsburgh
rat, this Is a matter that Is humiliating.
I hope it will mot be forgotten. Letnone
forget or calmly submit to Diehl:mitt. ion
of one of our own citizens.
• A Dange'r trnanitttecee.
A writer in the London Spectator has
taken some pains to point out what he
believes to be "the tree danger of tobsc.
co." After reverting to the general use
of this weed, welch might, he alleges, be
considered a harmless luxury but for one
exceptional fact, be asys ~.,"Has not to
bacco a property
'belonging! to very few
substances, which makes its use excep
tionally dangerous—the property, when
administered in an overdose, of effecting
some permanent change, probably in the
spinal cord, which renders the victim
forever after liable to injury from the
minutest dose 1" Three Cases are quoted
froni Dr. Drubeahr work on tobacco as
pointing to the real danger arising from
its nee. - - The first ease was that of a Mr.
T., a lawyer, thirty years of age, of ath
lete frame, who, for five years, had
shown symptoms of a, spinal affection,
which had resisted all parades. Oa the
'recommendation of Di. Druben, this
person Jpive up the use of tobacco, in
which no had indulged to excess. The
result was that "all the symptoms direp.
peered, as if by enchantment, and at the
end of one month the cure was com
plete." The restoration ,to , health lasted
some time, and until' one day, dining
with the doctor, he indulged himself,
contrary to the earnest remonstrances of
the tomer, in a cigar. No sooner had
be finished the second one than be felt
that all his old sensations .had returned.
Warned by this deciarye. intimation, the
gentleman henceforth grid up his cigar,
, took tonies for a month, and baa ever
' csince enjoyed excel ent health. The sec
ad cam was tha l t of a person (IL M.)
who felt his energies declining, lost his
. appetite, and only found comfort in amok-
Sag very strong clocri. He complained
of acute pain bide region of kis stomach
every afternoon, which only ceased at
night; trembling of the limbs, palpitation
and eemtimes sickness. On his ran.
gnishing the use of tobacco for one month,
the symptoma disappeared; but prefering
the pleasure from tobacco to health, he

.0,11 Engfueir,Virriiished by Requist of
Citizens of Pittsburgh, on the subject
of the Water Supply for the Proposed
Enlarged Canal.
I have read with eardthl Oblation the
,views of W. W. Reed, Esq., Superinten.
dent of the (Pennsylvania) Erie Canal,
published In the Erie Dispryth and re
published in the Commerdal of January
:3d,-relating specially .to the =bled of
,water supply for the proposed enlarged
'canal berieen Pittatoirgh and Eile, and
a number, of gentlemen connected with
the cold and shipping interests of this city
•have requested me to give them my opin•
'ion of the same for publication. with any
views of my own which may be appro
priate at this juncture, when an effort is
about to be made to establish a ship canal
•between the head of the Ohio and Lake
• Some or willreco ect that
in the fall called upon by
the y through their
,filu W. W. Reed, to
notion, of the said
-of its proposed enlarge
,meat. Widish was made In company with
Mr. Reed, and a report submitted, dated
December 23d, 1867; which was pub.
Sahel by the Company at the time. • It is
known also to many persons here that I
was the principal engineer in the service
of the State engaged in the construction
of that canal and its appendages., inclu
ding its feeder from French Creek, from
'1839 till 1841, and that afterwards, when
.the State transferred the works to the
Erie Canal Company, they, were comple-,
ted and put In use in 1845 under me di
rection as their Chief Engineer: , .
The matter or water supply being vital
in connection with canals, it received my,
put "Attetdion in 1838, irhen alter
'at measurements and views of
ilo bad pretededme In the'
same investigation, and after my
own examination I made my
first Canal Commissioners,
;Inning tp Action of ill parties
then Interested, that there was an abund.
anos of water available in French creek
for the supply ,"of the canal,
Mr. Reed In his excellent papers above
referred to, sets forth clearly the reason
why they resorted to the construction of
a small lift lock on the summit. In order
to 1)0e a constant mu depth of water
pumped from the Conneaut reservoir. It
was beanie the Company had never cut
down the summit level to the depth
originally planned. I cone= In opinion,
• with Mr, Reed from apeeleet- familiarity
with the ground and with the question,
that it Is entirely practicable to dredge
the summit, say seven feet lower than it
is now, and to maintain it at that depth.
With the canal completed throughout as
originally designed, with the enlarged
size of locks and canal as now proposed,
there la an ai ple sUpply of water avails.

don of boats in both directions, or one
hundred and forty-four boats every
twenty-four hours, with locks one-hun

bers, and an average of seven feet lift.
These locks, with seven feet depth of
water in the canal, will have : sufficient
capacity to pass boats a 'tn•ydirgXltred hun
dred and flft#, or more, Ilene; but as
suming for a perfectly safe calculation
that they should in practice carry on an
average but two hundred and fifty tons
each, it would give 36,000 tons per day,
and for 290 boating days 9,000,000 tons;
an enormous tonnage, one third of which
would be ansgniflcent. trade.
Mr. Reek, isrbohaaberm the, euperin
teadent onto canal for eleven years, and
who had during that period paid the
closest attention to the water supply.
Kann that for the driest MOOth.4ll tly,lans
Tottrreiras denial! whiehlimetbe hut had
perfect means of ascertaining, the quart
thy actually used for leakage and
evaporation has not averaged over 5,400,-
000 culdq feet per dim. , This Is 'not theo
ry Ind working experience.
It is very gratifying to know this fact,
since it proves, In the most practical way,
that the calculation of the losalroaCome•
poration and leakage, as given in my re
port of 1:•t 9, namely, 6,192,000 cubic feet
per day, was not only safe, bdt, that it

the loss by leakage and evaporation on
thetanal fed from the *w==it; Inkribg
been; during the driest month, 78'3.000
cubic feet per day less than waumiginally
estimated..
. .
Mr. Ithed, in his paper now under con
sideration, adds one-fish to the daily loss
from evaporation and leakage, for an en
larged canal, and knowing all the cle
cemitanoes perfectly I 'regard this as
liberal and 'ample. This allows for the
leakage and evaporation 6,480,000 cubic

144 boats, n actual practice, where so
many would be passing as herein as
sumed; would not be equivalent to one

necessarily be in such a trade that in most
cases as one boat passed, out another from
the opposite direction would pan In, thus
emptying the lock oily. once is passing
two boats; but taking the very liberaland
perfectly safe allowance of Mr. Reed, of
a lockful for each of the 144 boats; the
enlarged locks being lhir by 20 feet, and
averaging 7 feet lift, there would be 18,200

Reed shoWs, 5,241,603 cubic feet, which,
added to the leakage :Ind evaporation,

Mr. Reed states that the lowest meas
urement of the flow , of French - Creek!
during the pest eleven . years was over
15,000,000 cubic feet per day, which por
responds sufficiently with my' , thither
measurements, to satisfy ins that there la
never any month In the year when the
flow In 'French Creek at Remus' dam
averages less than 15,000,000 =hie , feet
per day. The meaairremeat - I caused to
be made In 1887 gave 17.788,000 cubic
fest,lipt allowing no more that 15,000,-
000 cubic feet for twenty-four hours, even.
with the immense tonnage assumed.
(9,000,000 tars In 250 days)i there would
remain a daily surplus of 3,2713,400 cubic'
feet and this may properly be regarded
as thereon derived ••Wetly froth taper-,

my opinion, be more than adequate for
the accommodation ofthe vast 'mania of
tonnage_ mentioned; and should double
the amount be required at some "distant

I dose this brief review of the salts

my mind of the adequacy of the water

RENATE.
r. CONSLING presented resolutions
of the Legislature of New York, with
drawing the assent of that State to the
ratification of tbe'lsll amendment. He
said he thus diecharged a distasteful
duty, and regretted that a record so ill
advised should have come from theEtate
of New York. At another dine he would
show how little such a.prooeeding deter
' ved therconederrationef the Senate.
Mr. ' DRAKE offered a resolution,
which was laid on the table, that Indian
treaties be considered hi open sessien.
Mr. SUMNER introduced a bill to ex.
anguish the national debt, to extend
I banking facilities and to establish specie
payments. He said the bill contempt*.
I Led the prompt extinguishment of the
&KU of 1882, and upon a certain period of
notice, say six months, so that distant
holders in Europe may be advised that
the Interest of five-twenties of 1882 shall
cease, and the bonds be forthwith
deemed in coin. The six per cent. five.
twenties of 1882, amounting to upwards,
of 11500,000,00, would be refire-led Into
nye per cent. ten-fortles, whose payment
l ln moth was expressly stipulated by
the act authorising the issue. With a
new' Imbue of the latter limited
to $600,000,000, foreign holders of our
per cent. bands of 1582 would accept 5
per cent, bonds In lieu of coin, and so
media that loan sale hold at home may
be paid In coin, If. preferred by holders,
from the proceeds of an actual
I amount of five-twenties placed In
Europe at par for coin. Our 6 per cent.
bonds being limited In amount, after
being taken id par in preference to coin
will advance in value, so that the invest:
crient will become popular. National
credit will thus be maintained, the offer
being plain bonds or coin, giving the
world assurance of our dehermination.
'The answer will be u prompt as the of
fer, bonds and not coin. In regard to
National banks, which had done so much
to tarnish a uniform currency, two
things were necessary. The bonds de
posited by them with the Government
must be minced - in interest, and the sys
tem must be extended, so as to supply
much needed facilities, especially at the
west and south. The requirement from
all banks of new roar per mot tends at
the rate of It for 800 of notes leaned and
to be Isemed, would absorb six hundred
and twenty-live millions of the national
debt Into four per cent., while the with
drawal of one dollar in greenbacks for
each additional dollar notes wilt go far
to extinguish outstanding green
backs, thus quietly removing Im
pediment to specie payment. The
bill sought to bring national obligations
to a par with coin, and to resume specie
payment , without effort, while our
bonds would be the-mast popular In the
market. _

The Lengthening Days and tee Strength
ening told—Now they Expiate It In
Connecticut.
"As the days begin to lengthen the liold
begins to strengthen," says the old max
im,which has failed to come trite thus
'far this season. The days began to in
crease in length on the 23d ultimo, and
the gain up to the end of the year was
four minutes. It is true this is hardly
sufficient to make much difference either
way, and Jemmy may be necessary to
Tatty the old adage. Still, as the college
professor used to say, when his retorts
gave out or his apparatnarefusedto work;
"the experiment falls, but the principle
remains." There is a reason in "the
eternal fitness of things," why the cold
should begin to strengthen as the days
begin to lengthen, and as &general thing,.
we may expect such to be the case.,
The earth is a big body, -and, therefore,'
slow to get heated, and slow. to cool, and
it usually happens that the heat absorbed
from the sun during the summer in this
latitude does not wholly nab off till after .
Christmas or New Year. By that
time the latent warmth having dis
appeared, and the northern re, I
gion at least being covered with snow, I
chilling every breeze from that quarter,
winter leapt to set in in earnest. The
momentum,
so to speak, of the cold is
then such that the heating influence of
the sun Is actually much less than might
be supposed. Oar own bodies, however,-
show an analagons working, since we re
unite less clothing in the autumn thanwe
do at the same temperature in the spring,
because in the one case we have an unused
up stock of heat, and in the other of cold..
I For the present Belson, certainly, the
heat accumulation has hung on remarka
bly
well. The weather during the last
week has been as mild, and very mute
like th at of the middle of April. It ha`,
I been a trying time to regulate furnaces,
