TIE undersigned, one of the Trustees
of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, in
compliance with the request of the bond-
holders, begs leave to make the following
statement in reference to the general man.
agement on the line of the works, by the
leading or principal engineers.
The undersigned regrets extremely,
that a sense Of duty in the discharge of
the trust confided to him, leaves him no
other alternative than to speak plainly,
and TO lay before the parties in interest,
the errors, if not misconduct, oftbose who
have been clothed, in the capacity of en-
gineers, with the direction Of the work.
The undersigned shall speak plainly ofthe
incompetency, in his judgment, of the
chief engineer.
The engineer, in the year 1888, report
ed to the legislature that the canal, on the
deep-cut plan, could be completed in 3
years. During tie two following years
$2,000,0O0 were expended, and in '42 the
work was suspended. In '43, the pres
ent law changing the plan, was passed.
By this change $l.000.O0G was TO have
been saved and now, after two millions
have been expended OH plan which was
to save million in labor, the same en-.
gineer states that it will take three years
to complete the canal. Here must have
been. at least. some error in Judgment.
His estimate Of the Summit level in ;39
was from Is To e5 cents per yard. In '43
when he estimated the same work for the
contractors who were entitled to pre.emp.
ton, he puts it down 10 prices ranging
from 10 TO 80 cents per yard. This was
so far below what the work could bedone
for, that almost all the contractors aban-
doned their works, and refused TO go on.
| pretend to draw no inference from this
discrepancy; each one interested must do
that for himself.
In May last the trustees took all the
Summit level division into their own

"0T THE FIRST GUN.-C. C. Van
Horn, Esq, was elected, on the 18th inst,
Justice of the Peace in Round Grove

The "True Democrat" claims the
above as victory, probably because they
are laboring together at present. The
democrat is a little too fast to FIRE "guns''
over such a result. Such ''soft sawder''
wont take. Cornelius C. Van Horn, has
done too much service in the democratic
party TO be given over to the wings
Though he may have erred recently, still
the day IS not far distant when we shall
expect to see him return to the support OF
those principles for which he has labored
so long, and to assist US TO defeat the en-.
emies fequal righ,s-ihe wings.

recent election in this State, elected their
Governor. majority of the Legislature
and unanimous delegation to Congress.

which we copied from the N. Y. Herald,

were conducted on the canal and which
have affected the progress of the work

of"abuses," we call attention to the facts
set forth by Col. Oakley in communica

which are now conducted by The State
might not have been prosecuted at a much
less expense. ifthe advice of Col. Oakley

that we had made the discovery that they
were going to adopt the mass meeting, and
are at loss to know how we made the

to this matter, is to refresh the memories
of the committee by publishing the follow

in June last:
"The meeting then proceeded to vote
on convention or no convention, and de.
termjned that hereafter the nomination Of
