IMPROVKMEXT OF

NO. ONE.
To the Editor of the Pittsburg Commercial :
Permit me to occupy a portion of your
space, with a few brief letters, relative
to the improvement of the Ohio river.
The improvement of the navigation
of this greit water course has been for
years a subject of annual discussion in
congress ; but to those only who do
business upon its waters, aad the pco
pie of the great cities alon its course,
does its importance (o the future, as
well as the present, ol the whole nation
deem to be understood.
By these frequent attempts, through
oonventrbns and by special committees,
have been made to induce the govern
inent of the United States in umlnriai-n
the improvement of the navigation of
me river, in sucn a manner as would
render it the transportation highway it
can, under the expenditure of money,
be made. Ample surveys of the
atream and voluminous reports from
government cngineerH, have boon about
the only results obtained -, and to-day
the Ohio is, for navigation purposes,

naturally, altough a considerable sum
iias oeen in me aggregate expended in
those surveys, reports, building a few
wing dams of loose stones, and dredg.

ror ociwecn miriy anu lorly years
this process has been going on. ".Dur
ing that period survey after survey has
nnuwu inai engineering skill can create
the required depth of water. Report
ir report nas Deen made in congress
from general and special committees,
recognising the necesity of improving
the Ohio; yet the LouUville canal, and
as before said, a few wing dams, and
the removal of some snags and bars,
are the results of governmental action.
If the Ohio, by reason of its geo
grapical position, as well as its natural
water flow advantages, is tli imp; ,a
great water transportation facility ; if

oarcea of the country through which
it flows, and those of which it is a cou.
neetiog link, are all that the htatistics
will show, certainly such action of the
gorerameat accomplishing roally noth
ing for it improvement is mere waste
of none ana time as well. If it is
not what is daisied, tho navigation
MtoM provides is sufficient for the
weat of it water shed. In the mean.
time, the whole railroad sjstetu of the
United States has teen created. Moun
tain ridges have been scaled by loco
motive?, mountains hare been tunneled,
hills hare been made to fill valleys,
valleys dug through hills, great riven
hare been spanned by railroad (racks,
and (he Pacific and Atlantic coasts
linled lv iron bonds, through individ
ual action. A startling contrast, anil J
one not'le.ened when we come to see
from the statistics of the" country (he i
present and future value of the Ohio '
river, to not only the dwellers nloni:
its bank, but to the nation
The wonder arises that in the grand

fill its valleys and develop the resources
of the seven stales that torui iN water

l)t Witt Clinton ricked a political
career and won not only that hut a
statesman's name, by his persistent ad
vocacy of tlio New Vork canal. The
benefit of that to this state was
not us plain as is the use of
tbe Ohio river, with continuously relia
ble navigation to the seven states of the
Ohio valley,andthco of the Mississippi
valley as well.

wisely? But before (he domamJ, In
states containing over one-half of the
population of tho whole nation, that
half the sum spent in the enlargement
of tho Erie canal fhall be expended to
render the Ohio a transportation facility
for not one state, hut fifteen, conem
stands aghast and the watch dogs of
vuo ttcuHury bemoan tlio wasteful ex-
pcnditures nnd declaim against tho
extravagant schemes in which it is pro
posed to involve the government. A
govcrnincut of which the population of
mo mates proposed to bo beiiehtcd by
the improvements of the Ohio, making
more than one-half, and who, ho the
(he expenditure great or small, will
naturally through direct or indirect
taxation, pay themselves over one-half
of the out-lav. and be at the same time
contributing in the same proportion of
over onc-nait to all the other expendi
tures of tho government, whether for
national expenses, or sea coast, or lake
improvements. Would it not seem
more natural if (he representatives In
congress of this preponderance of the
nation snould recoil aghast at the appro-
firiatious of millions Cor sea coast and
ako improvements, of which their con
stituents will pay over one-half?
Thus contrress after congress virtu
ally ignores tho creation of ope of the
great tranportatioa facilities of the na
tion ; and year after year reluctantly
votes a few thousands for survevs, and
snag-boats for the Ohio, "a tub for a
whale," but cheerfully gives millions
after millions for improvements upon
the coasts, to the neglect of a navagi
tion one-fourth lonjrer than the whole
sea coast line of the country. In that
1,000 miles of inland river navigation
there arc in the fifteen i(c olon its
bants twenty million two hundred and
sixty -eight thousand people; and in
those eighteen states, with greater or
less shore along the sea coast, but fif
teen million nine hundred and thirtv-
one thousand, including Xow YnrL-
with four million four hundred thou. 1
sand inhabitants, who are more ncarlv I
interested in tho lakes, or ncarlv thirty
per cent, more inhabitants directly in
terested in the improvement of the
Ohio than in the harbors of the coat
line. The seven immediate htates of
the Ohio valley, under whoso appoint
ments a body of commissioners are
now striving to obtain enlarged gov
ernment action for the improvement of
the Ohio, have thirteen million four
hundred thousand population, nearly
ninety per cent- as many inhabitants
as in the eighteen sea coast states, and
one hundred per cent, moro than in
the balance of the river states.
