Mr., Goodin2's Defence.

A very long, and we must say, nervou'ly
writ. letter, addressed to the board Of tru,-
tees Of the !. & NJ. canal appears in the Chi
cago Journal, from Mr.. Chief Engineer
GoodinC, in defence of his official conduct
againt certain charges made by the state
trustee, Col. Oakley. The statements Of
the letter purport to be founded upon, or ra-
ther are intended to be an embodiment of.
the evidence taken by the board at the re-
cent investigation, in which, as our readers
already know, Col. Oakley took no part.
As sncb evidence appears only TO have been
taken as Mr.. Gooding thought necessary for
his defence, this letter, with the forthcoming
report Of the foreign trustees, may appropri
ately be regarded, we presume, as one side
Of this important controversy. 1t now re-
mains for Col. Oakley to bring forward his
ayerments and evidence on the other side,
which we believe he is preparing TO do
at an early period, until which time the pub
lie had better suspend their opinicn," as
