the newspapers, and therefore we have said
nothing in reply to the various articles which !
have appeared in tie illinois papers in OPPOSE !
tionto our views Of the question. 1.-THE Illinois
legislature has power to grant franchise
kich will obst:uct the navigation Of the Mise
sissppi river, at Rock Island, it can grant these
dispensalions all along the river, from Cairo t.
the Northern extremity Of the State. II is denied
that it can do any such thing that the Illinois
and Iowa Legislatures together, can do any
such thing. The Mississippi river is great
highway, the navigation of which is secured
free from interruption in any quarter, to the
whole Union, and no act Of State Legislation
can take it away.
We advert to the matter now, however, to
ascertain what has been done by the City
Council in regard to it. AT the commencement
Of the present session, the Mayor transmitted
certain papers TO the Council on tn. subject
and called their special attention to it. We
, have seen any action of that body. lfnone has
been had, it is high time that something shoult
: be done, for the works are in progress, and thu
brid ye is to be completed in December next
1t will save costs on both sides to have thu
. Injunction issued now, and to have it tried with
nut any unnecessary delay. The city of St
. Louis has direct interest in preventing an.
interruption of the navigation of the Mississippi
north or sou Of us and unlers the stronges
. evidence is furnished that such inter- up,io
| will follow the erection of the bridge at Roc
Island, it ought not 10 be suffered. Something
should be done by the Council: if they will no
act, let it be known. and there are other partie
who will do so.-(Mis. Repub.

DEATH OF GRIMEs' HEN.

At last the speckIed hen has sone-- That hen of hens the best; She died without sigh or groan, While in her downy nest. Through summers heat and winters snow For ten long years she lay, At noon and eve, old Grimes an egg,
 But none on Sabbath day. She had nest behind the door,
 All neatly lined with hay Her hack was brown and sprinkled OCT With spots "inclined to gray.'' Though fourteen years of age almost, She still looked young and hale And loved but one, whose long Iahrill crow Was heard at early dawn: An aged cock, who oft had told
 His descent with sigh, @a From one that crowed when he of old, His master did deny. & " When poor old speckle closed her eyes, He jumped the fence and cFIed- = He bid the poultry all goodbye a And then iaid down and died. Kind reader now we'll drop tear
 To Grimes' speckled hen; It is too true, we ne'er shall look
 Upon her like again.
