Canal COrrespoudrucc.

We have inserted on the outside of th!.
weeks paper a correspondence between
Col. Oakley and the foreign trustees of the
canal, i'll reference TO an Investigation OF
the official conduct Of Mr.. Chief Engineer
Gooding. The reader will here find the
reasons why Col. o. could take no part in
the recent Investigation had by the foreign
trustees at Chicago.
ltmis.strike All IMPARTIAL observer as some
thing very strange, that the foreign trustees
should evince so much feeling in reference
TO an investigation OF the conduct of the
Chief Engineer, and such an apparer, ca
gerness 10 screen him from the charges that
have been made against him. There ought
TO be no reason for this. The trustees are
charged with the disbursement of EeaN,
fund, AMI the bondhodcrs, for whom they
act, are deeply interested in the careful and
economical application of this fund to the
purposes for which it was subscribed. II
then charges OF extravaganza aud cUTrup-
ton are made against an agent employed by
the trustees, they, Of all men, should be the
most eager to ierrit out and prove up those
charges. But instead of this. we see the trus-
tees cspousng Tic cause of the engineer.
volunteering as his counsellor, and taking
his defence upon their own shoulders. Nay.
they even refuse TO receive his own con.
LESSONS as evidence, and in a bravado spi.
rit excIaini, "Lct Col. Oakley prove his
charsesb by such evidence as we shall choose
10 receive The inference, in view cl
such conduct, is almos, irresistible. tina, the
trustees have some strong motive for not
wishing to see the ccrduct cfl Tic Chief In.
queer TOO closely scanned.
The people of Illinois, however. may res,
assured that hi, conduct will be fully .uoui.
red into. Col, Oakley has promised to
make good his charges, aud we mistake the
manh he will not be found as good as his
word.

III, r-es Trader fally Sustained.
Ju,lcc CAToy ON Tuesday gave his dcci'
sion in the case The "'rrlStcc> ofihr Hi
uois and Michigan Canal rs. lahn li'>e,'
which was argued at the spring icsn oi on'
c;rc,,i, rourt. Il was q silt vt ciccimcn,
nreught BY the Land Agent here TO on>'
.be aclcnJcnt from town 10. upon which
he held pre.ex,p,inu claim unaert the canal
law. The 1cciSiou Of Judge c, WAS
given verbally, and was 10 the eiicc. that
the pre.rmpiion claimants on canal land,
have a prcsumptivc title, and a right o.
possession until they shall have had an clr
portuni;y 10 perfect their tile. The Jpda'
stated, in giving his decision, that he lad.
s;rcc the argument of the case. consulted
.adges Pope and Mclean, of the |. 5. di. :
tict cou,t-that their opinion accorded
exactly with that which he himself had for
med upon the subject. and that they had
ON several occasions, decided the sun'I
point.
The decision thus made by Judge Cation
slstains exactly the grounds which we took
two wears ago, when the subject was frs
asi;atcd here. We were then abused by
every wing whiTtt Oh the line Of canal, and
accused of laboring to embarraSs the trustees
in the performance Of their duties. But we
had not taken our ground lightly, or without
dle examination, in favor Of the rights ct
the settlers. We would have been culpablc
indeed had we blindly recommended them t.
navnoa,,enticn to the canal agents demand
for rent, when. if oar view of the question
had been wrong, it might have deprived
many Of their homes.
What will be the result of this decision
VIII that large number Of pre- omption c!ai.
mants who iHconsidera,ely leased their land,

their money Thus Illegally taken from them.
while the great body Of the settlers are and
have been paying nothing! We fear the
measure Of the board Of trustees, SO unwiSe-
ly and thoaghtlcssly adopted, to coll, ct rents
from the canal lands, will yet give rise TO
much useless litigation, and in the end cost
the board Immensely more tia, than they
make out of it.
And what now becomes ofthc canal land
agent? As leasing these lands and colec.
ting the rents was the principal part Of hi,
business, out Of which he was to make lii
salary, we really fear that now that his &C.
cupation's gone, the people will begin TO de-
mand that he 70 with it. As the amiable
temper in which he always performed his
duties has greatly caiearcd him to the set
tiers, they would doubtless be sorcly dis
trcssed 10 see him leave.

CAsr OF Blsuor ONrrEuoNE.-Thc Epis-

New York City, adjourned on the 18th rlt.
The Express gives the following as its IN
|cr.,an1.agol wAa. was done in tie ycxcd
case Of Bishop Ondcrdc@h:
The precise position Of this much vexcd
question seems not to be very generally or
clearly understood. We give our under
standing of the matter as follows. The
wamcat friends Of the suspended Bishop
wished his immediate and unconditional
res'oratoH. or that the sentence should be
declared tJ..i'y. Those most opposed 10
him wished 20 have the Diocese declared
vacant. and new Bishop elected bv the
Diocesan Convention. The General Con-
ycu,.1n have done ucithCr.-1hey have, by
their action decided, directly or indirectly.
that the sentence is valid, that this Diocese
is not vacant, and that neither new Bsh-
op nor an assistant Bishop can be elected.
They have authorized the convention oithc
Diocese TO elect the Bishop of some other
Diocese to the Office Of provisional Bishop,
who shall have as full authority in the Do
ccsc as !. he were the regular Diocesan.
