To the Ed,,or Of TIE Press

To the Ed,,or Of The Press:
A paragraph in your paper of Saturday last
implying censure upon Mr.. Isaac Dyer and
myself, for opening the canal gates aud draw
ing off the water of Sebago Pond, SO as to in.
terfere with some underlined rights of some
body, is founded in an entire misconseption, OF
perverse intent.
1t has been the uniform practice for nearly
forty years to do exactly what we have done
this year, viz. to drain the water from the
canal, at the close of the season for navigation
and clear distractions that have accumulated
in the channel, and for many years past to
brig down supply of water to clear the
Libby Basin of salt water and again fill ii
for purposes of the ice business.
And two additional reasons have rendered
much drainage of the canal and ponds neces-
sary this season, over ordinary seasons, viz
Libby's pond-postponed, as the President o.
the z. & o. road knows, from spring until
fall, for the interests OF the road-and
Secondly, to enable the canal to be deepen
ed, and cleared along the upper level of the
canal, and to sink the mud.sills of the upper
lock, nearest the Sebago pond, rendered neces,
sary by the dryness of the season and the large
drainage of the pond by the new water compa-
ny. 1t is notorious to all boat men using the
canal the past season, thar the two causes
named have rendered the upper level Of the
canal too shallow to admit OF a full, or ordinar-
lily loaded boat to pass through it, without the
delay and expense of trans-shipment, thereby
greatly damaging the business OF the canal
corporation, and off all parties using the canal.
Nor was the opening OF the Locks permitted
until ample public notice had been given, as
usual of closingithe canal ;and that.the time was
fixed, not upon the judgment of either Mr.:
Dyer or myself, but duly at a time advised by
the intelligent and practical superintendent OF
the canal, Mr.. G. II. Pike, having in view sole
ly the necessities have named.
The complaining parties are probably those
only, who have interests to subserve which are
offsprings of recent speculations, or enterprises
created in competition Of the long vested priv
leges of the canal corporations.
Very respectfully,
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1870-11-29

char.
Mr.. John w. Browning, of the Com
mittee on Obnoxious Laws, presente,
a long report Of the operations of tn
committee for the past year, which wa
prepared with great care and containe,
deal of valuable information. IT wa
received and placed on file. 1--WE vii
publish 1t in our next.)
Mr.. Jessup, Of New York, did mol
think the committee had done all TIL
work that had been expected OF them
The chairman of the committee had tod
much confidence in his own ability, and
had not conferred with the laborin'
men, as he should have done, to learI
what Legislation was really needed 4
advance their interests.
Mr.. Troup said he had hoped that al
the differences among the labor unioIk
of New York would be laid aside i
this convention. He was sure that MI
Browning had ably discharged the d1
ties imposed on him by the Union. H
thought it unjust and ungenerous to d.
preciate his service because he had RI
fused to carry out the views of certa1
parties who were using laboring meg
as tools te secure their own preierme,I
in Tammany.
Mr.. A. G. Cameron, of Chicago, TIL
delegate to the International Congreas
held at Basic, Switzerland, in 1881
presented his report. The report wst
accepted and placed on file.
Mr.. Troup, of New York, offered :;
resolution directing the finance co1
mittee Of the Union to report pld
for raising funds to prosecute the vol
Of the National Labor Union in the v
rious States, and moved that it be n
ferred to the committee on finance.
Mr.. Troup offered the following
Resolved, That as citizens Of the Unittk
States and representatives of the laborirt
classes who toll for existence on the sd
which God made free, we denounce the std
tiOning of United States troops on the Che
okee neutral lands in Kansas for the laA
fourteen months, as a violation of the CoFi
stitution and the laws Of the United State
as an outrage upon the people Of that pa
ticular section, an insult to the people Of {
whole nation, and the entering wedge
threatened despotism.
ResoI0ed. That the sympathies Of OF
brethren are With the actual settlers on t
Cherokee neutral, and all other similar tract
in their struggles for their homes, and {!
we urge them to continue to strike for thd
homes, trusting in God and the America
people for the full and complete viDdicatidI
Of their rights.
