ron THE SPECTATOR.

10 TIE Commissioners dhhoiated by the
General Assembly TO survey Cana
route from Lake Michigan to the H.
iin0is river.
Surprising that an experienced engi-
neer would be wanting to survey and re-
port on the practicabiity of excavatng
this canal, have taken the liberty oil re-
commenting TO your consideration, Mr..
Eugene Lettsendofer, who now resides
at Dide Poche, a small town on the Mis-
sissippi, six miles below St. Louis. Il
is unnecessary 10 descant on the various
talents and romantic adventures Of this
extraordinary man. Suffice to say that,
he has served as an engineer (the pro-
. fession for which he was educa,ed) in
the Austrian, French, Turkish, and Bri-
fish armies that he accompanied Gen.
Eaton, through the desert, from Egypt
TO Fripoli; and, at the siege of Derne,
acted as Colonel, and Adiutant and In
spector General ofthe combined Ameri-
can and Arabian armies. His suiferings
and losses in the American cause, occa-
stoned in 1909, a special ctof Congress 10
be passed in his favor; and his chivalrc ac-
tions and wonderful adventures had pre-
viously made him the hero of theatrical
representation at Vienna.
This man, who has lost SO much and
gained so little, in fighting the battles of
America, on the burning plains of Afri
ca, now lives in poverty and obscurily.
This, together with his merit, has induc-
ed me to recommend him to the com
missioners as, perhaps, the most proper
man in the western country to accom-
plish this important undertaking.
1tmay not be amiss to state that, this
essay is written without the knowledge
aof Mr.. Letisendoffer. 90

ILLINOIS.
We have given, in another column,
an extract from an Illinois paper, de-
scriaing scene of outrage and moboc-
racy disgYaceful 10 the legislature of
that stale. We understand, however,
that this is but faint and partial de-
scription Of the occurrences connected
with that transaction. From the various
articles we have seen on the subject, we
gather the following additional facts.
The election of Mr.. Hansen, as repre-
sentative from Pike county, was con-
tested by Mr., Shaw, and after full and
deliberate investigation of the case, the
committee on elections reported in
favor of the right Of Mr.. Hansen to his
seat, which report was accepted by the
house, and Mr.. Hansen thus became
permanently member of the legisla-
ture. Subsequently, however, when it
was found he opposed convention, and
that one vote only was wanting to Sc
cure the constitutional majority of two
thirds in its favor, they reconsidered the
question, pronounced Mr. Hansen not
legally elected, and admitted Mr.. Shaw
to seat in his stead J. BY this outra-
geous proceeding, the majority gained
their object, and convention was au-
thorized accordingly. The Illinois In
telligencer, printed at Vandalia, was
edited by Messrs Brown AND BERRY,
the latter of whom was member oil the
Lex islature, and a thorough going con-
vention man; his partner, however,
Mr. Brown, being Disguised with the pro-
cecdings, admitted into the columns oil
the paper, communication which
greatly irritated the servants of the peo-
pie, and they demanded the name Of the
the writer. Mr.. Brown then published
an editorial article, which we inserted
in our last, commenting with severity
and plainncss on their proceedings. Tins
increased the irritation, and when he
e!eetion for public printers ca,re en-,
Brown and Berry, who held thai Office
! printers in the town, could nor be re-
elected. A curious expe,iient was then
resorted 10. The legislature elected
Messrs BLACKWELL AND BEnRY, who
were not connected IN business, and the
farmer of whom had Withdrawn from
The firm some time previous. In coDse-
qaence OF this man9nvre, Mr.. Blown
was driven to- the necessity o. selling his
interest in the Office TO Mr.. Blackwell,
and Blackwell and Berry are now the
public primers. We are sorry to see
orr young sister, Illinois, Of whom We
had hoped better things, pursuing a
course so uhtignifed. If such spirit
Is % operate in her proposed convention,
we Cannot anticipate a result very la.
v orablc TO her constitution.

WASHINGTON, FEB. 10.
The British minister here (Mr
Canning,) waited some time ago upon
Mr.. Adams, Secretary Of State, and read
TO him letter from his cousin, George
Canning, in which he speaks of the ru-
mors as to Cuba; denies in the most
positive manner any epish or intention on
the part of the British government to o5-
tain IL, and expresses an opinion that it
would be disAonorQbh in them to avail
themselves of the zveQkaess OF Spain for
any such purpose. 1t seems too, that the
Minister here was directed by his GO
vernmen, TO read this letter to the Sc
cretary of State. No copy was furnished,
and MIR. Monroe directed Mr.. Adams TO
apply and know whether one would be
furnished. II is said, he has not had an
answer, but that it will not. This is all
the information our government has on
the subject.
