statement Of Judge Brocchus and his associates
as to the Cause oftheir return, writes letter to
the editors of the St Louis Republican, giving
certainly very different version of affairs ut

other officers as nothing else than desertion Of

judge, and discharged the often difficult and per.
picking, and always laborious and responsible
duties ofhis Office, with great prompness, and in
manner to give such entire satisfaction, that. so
far as our knowledge extends, he is not indebted
for a single enemy to his judicial career. The
reasons he gives for resigning are such as must
acquit him of every thing like blame, while they

nothing is more certain than tina, law will be dis

Sympathy for Chicago.

An article in the Chicago Tribune, headed
RAILROAD Difficulties" escaped our attention las,
week, or we should have taken an earlier notice
Of it,
The Tribune thinks We are rather selfish and
unjust in opposing the Aurora Extension. This
might DO true, had the project Of extending that
road, in the cdy proposed, originated on its line
instead of having been conceived in the brain:
Of Chicago gentlemen and certain foreign infu
onces; the idea Of deriving profit from the couu
try through which it is to pass, or Of comforting
benefit upon it, having had nothing whatever tc
do with it.
We would like TO ask the Tribune some ques
ions TO which, Of course it will reply, or not, as
il may deem most polite We take no notice
now Of The assertion that they have good char
ter for the Aurora Extension. We refer to that
in another article
Has there not been, from the first inception Of
the Rock Island road, violent opposition to ii
in Chicago, AMI was it not that that drove the
threatened for time to "cut off" Chcagoi
Did not Chicago promise, in consideration Of
the Rock Island roads being located to suit heI

a few words in relation to the crossing Of the
river:
We regard the bridge or vaduct to be built
over the river, as a complete barrier to its nayi

pass it, We now have navigation in the spring
several weeks before the canal is open, at a time
too when we most need but place the proposed
structure there draw or no draw in it) and there
would be an end to all navigation tous This i, is
that will call out our strongest and unceasns OPP
position to any crossing that will impair the navi-
cation Of the river.
