All other 6ub- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1881 The Mobile Register says that; it has no sympathy with any hue and cry raised against the national banks, and believes that we have perhaps as convenient a system of banking as we could have. But it is opposed to "the power that the national banks possess of influencing financial legislation," and thinks that "the banks that attempted this last winter should have been wound up! and no more allowed the bene fits of the law they had abused." In the Spanish Senate Commit tee Senor Martinez, Minister of Justice, declared that the govern ment was negotiating with the Vatican for the arrangement of the civil marriage question, and hoped forla favorable result, but, in the contrary event, the government would maintain the prineples of its bill on the subject and uphold the prerogative of the State, j The Minister's declaration was received with considerable applause. jhe Committee of Confederate Bondholders state that their pro gramme is, primarlyJby steady and persevering appeals, first jto the public and then to the ! Legislature of ,jthe United States, to I bring about the opinion that the time has corne when the restriction imposed bvl the fourteenth amendment of the; Constitution should bo removed bo far as it prohibits the Southern States from effecting a just and equitable settlement of their debts legally contracted. The commtt teejrepudiate the idea of embark inertin litigation to recover Confed- -.. . - crate property in Europe. ibe President has before him the names of several eligible candidates for the position of Assistant Treas ure at New York in the place of Mri Thomas G. HillLouse, who has resigned for the purpose of .become ingj President of the Metropolitan Trtlst Company, of New York city. Among others is Mr. Wm. A1. Paton, an I active Republican, a personal friend of the President and a mem berf of a prominent banking house in Wall street. He has been urged forT the position, by several New York banks on the unanimous votes of their boards of directors. The appointment of Mr. Hillhouse's suc cessor will be made in a few days. A Boston dispatch Bays in refer ence to the broken bank of that city: -The Bank Examinor has completed his examination of the affairs of the Pacific bank of this city. His report will not be given out for several days, but itj is au thoritativelj' stated that the con dition of the bank is so unfavoras ble' that the U. S. Comptroller yesterday requested the associated banks to nominate a receiver and wind up its affairs. A private dis patch fiom Comptroller Knox states that he will apcoint a. receiv er at once, and at his request a number of prominent bankers of the 'city have nominated a Igentle maii who will probably be officially .named at an early date. Senator Alahone and the South j Senator Mahone, resisting Uhe imputations thrown upon his move- mfint in Virginia as a movement in behalf of repudiation, now proposes to present to the country the evi- dence as to repudiation in other boutnem btates. ie will, it is said,! introduce a resolution asking the Committee on Finance in the -i . Senate to report upon the condition and management of toe State cebts throughout the South. He expects to show, as we are informed, that in other Southern? States, those most loyal to the Bourbon idea, there have been contriving acts of repudiation of the most shameless character. Harlowe CreeR Canal. This work, one of the rnosi im portant ever i undertaken in the State, and which is now to be en- larged to a ship canal, has occu pied tho attention of our internal improvement men for tho greater I part i of a century. In 18271 Dr. Caldwell wrote of it as1 follows : "It is an easy matter, by widen ing the Harlowe canal a few feet, and deepening it two or three, to throw open to j the free rtassage of steambdats, and then the whole commerce of the Albemarle and Pamlico waters wonld, by the easiest, promptest, and safest navi gatiqn possible be concentrated4 at Beaufort. If it be apprehended by any that the waters of these sounds are too dangerous for the steam boat! though it can scarcely be that any will think soi let itbe re- membeied that the Chesapeake pre sents fully as great exposure, and yet this is continually traversed by boats of this description. Not less difficult is a passage up and down the Mississippi, yet this may bo said to swarm with them. Nor let it be imagined that steamboats may not pass along a canal. In common canals they must not bo admitted, on account of the con tracted limits of such canals j for boats drawn by one or two horses. i But there are canals upon which steamboats work oontinually, and it is unnecessary to refer to any other than the Caledonian canal, through which such boats run ularly, making la circuitous route, partly by sea j and partly by the canal, between Edinburg acd Glas. gow The two feet by which the Clubfoot creek is higher than! the Harlowe at the time of low water i ; ! i in the latter, make it now neces sary! to have a lock to prevent too strohg a current. In a canal for a steamboat, such a current would be of little or no consequence, j and I - ! the lock unnecessary. , Were as much more excavation done as to open a steamboat passage to Beau fort,J it is probable an end would be put for ever to all lightering at the Swashes. A steamboat could then pass frcm Edenton to Beaufort in twenty-four hours, and from New Berne to Beaufort in four. It is suggested to all tne commercial towns upon the Albemarle and i .- Pamlico waters, whether it would not be well for them to unite amohsr themselves without delay. thus to annihilate their distance from Beautort.- An enterprising population so extensive as ' this could soon burst away the barrier to steamboats at the Harlowe canal, and a year's enjoyment of the commercial opportunities thus se cured, would probably return into their bosom ample, remuneration for any instant sacrifice necessary to accomplish it. Were this done, of what use would it be to expend the 'eighty thonsand dollars re- ported by Mr. Fulton to be requi site for clearing out the Old Swash, or the thirty thousand for Teache's channel PROSPECTUS.
