If the districts are so formed that the miners shall take care of th» debris, and the swamp land ownere shall take care of their swamp lands, there is'no objection ‘to the latter straightening as many river channels a3 the general government will let) them,. But. mirers take no interest it these latter operations, and object to be taxed to control the floods that+ the Almighty sends, and which would come, and would overspread the valleys, if there were not § miner in the State. Much depends, “however, op the character of the Commissiovers apointed under such a bill. If there Se such @ division into districts as se leave the miners to do their. _own work; and others to do tHeirs, and each pay for their own improvements, no one could object. It looks to us, however, as if there is-a job in “this‘new bill, though we may he in etter. Tt would be suprising. siween;, if the Legislature would pass such a vill and_ not fix some limit, to the’ athount of liability to be incurred under it. As we read it, the Commissioners may have bonds issued to the extent of twenty, fifty, one hungred millions of dollars. It is too puch power ta lodge in the hands of afew men. If the bill wtp pass, let there be a limit ta the expenditures ~under it, at least until the noxt Legjslature. meets, and some judgment ean be formed as to the character of the acts to be,slope under it. . The — Legislature willreadily grant further power if that alréady granted seems fo be Welland wisely exeraised.
