although they may not jdo it. I
Mr. Veet said that QOtwithsUodimr
.i i i . . ?. ,w
we ioog ana miricaie argameau made
today, he . would repeat what ho had
said last 8atnrd.j; namelj, ihat the
days of canals were numbered. If a
system of large eanala were inaugu
rated, canals that would float boats of
500 or 700 or 1,000 tons, such canals
might compete to a cert tin extent with
railroads ; but these small canals (float
ing boats of less than 50 tons) were going
out of existence, and did not form even
a factor in the competition wijth rail
roads. This amendment he believed to
bo the arant courier of a proposition to
unload the .Erie canal on the; general
government. He was sick and tired of
having the committee on commerce
made the dumping-ground of! every
si.klyj broken down scheme of internal
improvement. . 'He did not propose to
allow improvident sales of individuals
tbe unloaded on. the treasury if he
could prevent it.
Mr. Plumb argued against the- amend
ment. He calculated that (at jthe rate
of 300,000 a year, as proposed in the
amendment), in would require thirty or
forty years to complete this- work. In
the course of his argument he
commented upon the failure . of
the work on Galveston Iharbor,
ar.d said that the government had been
sending army engineers to school there
at'a cost oi several million dollars. The
whole system, he said, was wrong.
The army engineers lacked the judg
ment and professional skill that were
necessary, amd whatever success they
did have in such works was th$ result
of their employment as engineer in civil
life, lie complained that the; whole
business of the public works carried on
in the war department was' manged in
a slip-shod way, millions being spent for
materials and no account kept of it.
Air. Conger defended the engineering
corps and claimed that it performed
;ts duties skillfully and faithfully.
Mr. Plumb insisted that, of al abuses
in the country, the greatest existed
in the engineer bureau of the par de
partment, in river and harbor improve'
menu. i
Mr. Dolph spoke in support of the
amendment, but especially in favor of
the improvements on the Columbia river
in Oregon.
Finally the discussion elosed and the
Senate proceeded to vote on the amend
ment. It was agreed to, yeas, 31; nays,

The; Senate committee on judiciary
this morning agreed to report back the
railroad attorney bill, a majority of the
committee consenting to a favorable re
port. The bill had been materially
amended in committee. Under its pro
visions) Congressmen may become at
torneys for subsidized or land-grant
roaQs in suits between one company
and another or between company and
individual, but are prohibited from serv
ing as attorneys in cases in which the
government has an interest.
The! prohibition is extended to other
than raxlroad interests, so that congress
men may not serve any corporation as at
torney! whose interests axe, or may be
come, the subject of congressional legis
lation. I The bill will probably be repor
ted toj or tomorrow.
Thefchair (by request) introduced a
bill to stop all payment of public money

C.iicauo, July 12. A special dis
patch from Grape Creel, Ulinois. says :
There is prospect of a riot over the- im
portation of negroes by cbeGrape, Creek
coal company to take the places of the
striking miners. The strikers declare
that the new men caniot work under
any circumstances and that they; will
resist force with force. The sheriff of
Vermillion oounty has V forty special
deputies on the ground and will do all
in his power to maintain order if the
negroes conclude to go to work. There
were over a thousand strikers when the
present strike began, bat the number is
now reduced to suven or eight hundred.
All are destitute and tbe condition ot
many of them is absolutely appalling,
women and children having barely suf
ficient clothing to cover them and hard
ly sufficient food to exist on. The men
insist that they never will surrender.
Most of them are foreigners, : Ger
mans predominating. Tile strikers have
been out most of the time for sixteen
months. Late last fall they accepted
the company's rate and even underbid
each other for work, there not being
employment for all, on account of the
company's business having greatly fallen
off in consequence of the loDg continued
strike. As soon as spring -iprned they
renewed their demand for the i'ittsburg
rate of 75 cents a ton and went out Mr-v
1st. Ihey have since been evicted from
the company's houses and are subsisting
in the woods on percentages from tho
union and the charity Of the surround
ing country. A few of them have put
up slab shanties; some have tents and
others seek any shelter they can find,
most of the time having only the pro
tection of trees.

has been: that many speedy horses have

has been tame. This year there is to
be a new departure. Many fast horses
from tho north will be here if the track
is made; a good one. Yesterday the

begin the work of re-grading the track
and to make it complete and perfect in
