the MissisKIj,pj.rjver i,nproveniont

plan by which, they can be more
certain of securing large-appropriations.-?
At present.-TsofvTithstand-
iflffthereisa separate" committee
on Mississippi levee's, it is solely
within the powers of the Com
merce Committee to report appro
priations for river a,nd harbor pur
poses. The plan 'is to obtain an
amendment to the rules, which
will empower the Committee on
Levees to originate appropriations
for that object. The Chairman of
the Commerce Committee of
course opposes the proposed new
rule, as it would deprive the Com
merce Committee of important
power, and might embarrass the
various schemes for general river
and harbpr improvement. The in
dications now arts that the Missis
sippi River Committee will be in
this Congress, as it was in the last,
a committee with a great name,
but without power except to sug
gest. One reason for this attempt
to secure a new rule is the sup
posed unfriendlint-ss of the major
ity of the Commerce Committee to
as large appropriations for Missis
sippi levee purposes as the Repre
sentatives from Mississippi desire.
It would seem as though the men
in charge of the river impro ement
scheme would see that they would
defeat their own elTorts by being
tooexorbitant in their demands.
This is the way the London

America is now sending us 'Eng

year won the principal races in
England and France. And now
that America" is bestirring herself

for poor old England, to plume
herself upon?"
The falsehood-scorning Hin

The fact that the people of Pe

Washington ITotes.
(From our Be enter Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C. Jan. 10 1682
Congress has assembled again
but nothing of conseqnencc will
be done for some days. The holi
day, recess has been an exception
ally dull one in this locality. New
Year's day however was a stirring
time, and the "reception at the
White House was very largely at
tended. The impression had gone
out that the usual receptions every
two week's during the winter were
not to be given thi3 season, gnd so
everybody in town endeavored to
avail themselves of this opportu
nity to see President Arthur in
tho "White House as well as to
take a look at its improved condi
tion. There was in consequence
a great jam. The reception for
the general public was preceded
as usual by tho official reception
of army and civil officers, and for
eign ministers. It was for many
reasons a notable reception,
m-irked by new faces and new
n-imes, with a new chief magis
trate, and tho almost total ignor
ing of old customs. The Presi
dent enjo3'ed.the day, and when
informed that his reception was
larger than any of Mr. Hayes'
and exceeded in numbers all of
Grant's but one, lie expressed sat
isfaction for the compliment.
Yet it was not" altogether to be
interpreted that way.
The long drawn out trial is now
coining close upon its end, and it
becomes more and more fixed in
the minds of observers that the
wretch Guiteau has been, weaving
his own rope. The people of
Washington and of the whole
country have been justly incensed
at the disgraceful scenes and out
rageous conduct of the prisoner
in court during the progress of
the trial, but the one mitigating
fact in connection with it is that
all this has simply had the 'effect
to make justice surer It has ob
literated every vestige of sympa
thy which at the beginning some
felt rforjLj;rie mlserablecreature;
has given the experts and oonit'ari
opportunity to study 'his mind and
character, and gone far to enforce
conviction upon the minds of the
jury. No one who has observed
tho jury during the past two
weeks expresses the least doubt
that their minds are made up be
yond the. slightest probability of
change. It is likely that in a very
short time the verdict of guilty
will have been returned, sentence
of death pronounced, and Guiteau
will be lying in a cell, his bravado
all gone, in a condition of utter,
cowardly, unpitied prostration.
After he has given up hopo there
will be no more doubt outside the
court-room of his absolute account
ability than there is with those,
whe have witnessed his daily
manifestations of ungovernable
malice, brutal egotism, depravity,
and blackguardism. He is shrewd
and cunning when confronted
with the possible consequences of
his act, and has expected by his
conduct to save himself from all
punishment, beyond a few years
in an asylum, meanwhile having
seenred the notoriety he so much
covets.
Anna Dickinson, whose magnet
ic platform eloquence, earnest
face and firm "jaw" is known all
over .the country, and who has de
termined to play men's characters
on the stage, "will shortly appear
here.
Since it became known that
Gen. Grant had changed his mind
concerning the Fitz John Porter
case there has been considerable
curiosity touching the effect this
would have upon friends of the ex
president in the senate and else
where. People were especially
solicitous abo'ut Senator Logan,
who made such an exhaustive
speech last" winter in opposition to
Porter. In response to an inquiry
on the subject, however, the sena
tor said a day or two ago, that ho
was very much surprised at the
change in Geu. Grant's opinion as
as the latter had frequently in his
presence expressed himself so
strongly against Porter's conduct.
Gen. Logan says there is nothing
new in tho case to cause him to
chajigc his vievs; that ho has noth
ing to take back, and will continuo
fo oppose Porter's restoration to
the army no matter who may
cotno to the rescue. So in this, as
in all other things, Logan has
strong convictions of his own.
