THE RIVER.
How TO Procure a Plan TO Prevent
lis Entertainments.

Editors appeal: | have seen several
communications in the city papers
relative TO the entertainments of the
Mississippi river on the levee, sgg-
costing various plans and devices for
remedying the evil already done, and
preventing it in future, which, from
evident want of knowledge and COM
| ~prehensiOn of the amount and charac-
ter of the work to be done, and the
cost of doing it, are simply absurd
and ridiculous. The work to be done,
simple as it may appear to a casual
observer, viii tax in no mean degree
the professional skill and practical ex-
perience of the best engineering talent
that can be obtained. To turn the
Mississippi river into q particular
| channel and keen IL there, is no small
Lob, and q slight blunder may make it
| a melstrOm into which thousands of
dollars may be sunk without obtain
ing the desired result. With these
considerations in view, would it not
be desirable for the Chamber of Com
merca, or those having the matter in
! charge, to adopt the means usually
rgsorJed to in other places where river
and harbOr Improvements are re-
quired, viz: Advertise for plans, spe-
! cificatiOns and estimates in detail Of
cost, Offering hbar1l payment for the
plans Which a properly constituted
committee may adopt, and q less
amount for the second and third best
which may be received. This might
induce men of scientific and practical
experience TO compete, and would I'M
donbtedly be preferable to going it
blind. Yours, etc, T. Ii. NJ.

ments and present them 10 the Legislature,
| He spoke at length upon the character OF
police courts the police force, etc. Super
intendent kennedy's conduct in the investi
| CATION had been commendable, and such as
bettted a man in his position. There were
on our police force many competent and ef
hcent men, while there were many who were
very incompetent, brutal and unfit for the
position, and these latter had the idea that
| they could arrest, club or insult gentlemen
without process and without provocation, rs
pleased them, and that they would be pro.
tected There should be more caution in
the appointments. No man should be Ap.
pointed who was not acquitted with the
common civilities and courtesies Of lite, and
who could not be relied on to protect the
people. In regard to the police courts he
thought that prosecuting attorney should
be in each court to look after the interests
of the city, and relieve the presiding Judge
from being both Judge aud prosecutor.
And If there was a court Of Justice that Rd.
miuistered 1t in such manner as to make
it disgrsceful for a man to enter it, then the
matter should be looked to.
They had murdered one of the brightest
lights Of the profession, aud the matter
should be prosecuted to the bitter end, and
it should be seen whether the law was TO
triumph or be defeated by combined
power.
Remarks of a similar purpor, were made
by Messrs. Evans, Styles, Hurd Adams,
Thompson, and others.
A committee Of three was chosen to mem.
Oriali2e the legislature in regard to the re.
form above spoken Of
Messrs. H. h. Hurd, Il. A. Storrs and
B. i, Aver were so chosen.
On motion it was decided that the chair
appoint a committee Of twelve to select
from the bar one or more members TO assist
the states attorney in the prosecution, and
the chair named Messrs. +. W. Evans, @.
