viii some of the railroad organs explain
the incongruity of Gen. Henderson posi-
ton on the canal question?
How does it happen that henderson, a
railroad attorney and eX railroad lobbyist,
pretends to favor the Rock Island and
lleDnepin canal, when he knows that the
construction of the canal would iniure the
interests of his present employers? unless
he pretends to favor it simply for election
eerng purposes.
Why is it that Gen. Henderson and the
local portion of the party he represents,
pretends to favor the construction of the
Rock Island and Hennepin canal, while
this canal would be comparatively useless.
not Denetittlng the country at large, with
out the completion OF the Canadian system
of canals, which the Republican party at
large and the railroads bitterly oppose
We repeat, why does Henderson and that
portion of the Republican party resident
in his district do this unless it is for elect
purp0sesl
How can Henderson and the Republican
party in his district consistently favor the
construction of the Hennepin and Rock
Island canal while they oppose what might
be called an extension of the canal from
Chicago to the sea-
Why did Republican Congress
the pretense Of looking up water routes
appoint the Window committee and send
it junketing around over the United States,
wining and dining with railroad presidents
at an expense OF 100000, and then never
ask nor give the committee an opportunity
to report-if it was not for electioneering
purposes?
Why did this same congress, last win
ter, appropriate $20O,0 900 for the purpose
OF surveying water routes, and why now,
inst previous to election, are the y. 5. en-
gineers running surveys over Illinois prair-
les, at an altitude of 200 feet above Lake
Michigan? Why is this done if not for
electioneering purposes 2
If the Republican party is so anxious to
secure water transportation for the West
why does it not accept the reciprocity treaty
and let us have the Canadian canals, the
only feasible water route from the interior
to Liverpool.

/ To the Editors OF the Rock island Argus:
lmust write you brief epistlc concern
ing mass meeting OF the regulars held
here last evening.
The smooth talking, good natured Hon.
/, j. henderson was placarded III large
letters to address his fellow citizens on the
leading political issues of the day. Ac-
cordingly Hon. Tom did arrive and pro
ceeded to Thorn's Hall, where he met and
addressed the thinest gathering OF voters
that any man ever talked to under like
circumstances in this section of country.
For one long hour and half did he''waste
his sweetness on the desert air. Verify,
verify Gen. Henderson is not the man to
draw together Il political crowd in this
quarter kecnly did he feel the rebuke
and the cold shoulder given him by his ex-
pectant adherents.
The Gen. commenced his piece by pitch
ing into the Independent Princeton con-
vention, land thought he was going to
say something, but he didn't, for not
making some resolve on the financial ques-
ton; and after talking about halt an hour
on this subject himself, concluded that
"our tiuances needed no tinkerlng.'
He next proceeded to enlighten us on
the subject of the tariff by saying that
this question is OF but very little import,
ance, mot worth our talking about"
Passing on to reconstruction, he thought
there were some very bad men down thar"
and wound up his exercises by very
sympathetic appeal for votes said he had
plowed corn when boy; said he was
raised on farm said he never was an
office seeker in his e,and that Mr.. Lincoln

ton to receive an appointment at his hands;
but, having no hankering for official po-
sitions, land, doubtless, somewhat fear
ful Of smallpox, had as often declined.
He told us, also, that he never was
railroad attorney, in the sense in which
some understood it, and came very near
telling us that he 'casat Gen. Tom lien

In conclusion he said "If you can vote

In your paper of yesterday appears COM
munication from this town, which, from its
falseness in nearly every particular, 1 think
must have been made for political effect ]

in the article, and, as an act of justice TO my
self and Mr.. Hamlin, request you TO publish
the following denial of Mr.. Putnam's state
ment:

in the department of steam engineering, in
February, 1874, and not in place of lr. Putnam,
who was at that time ,oriter in the same de-
partment, appointed by New Hampshire or
Massachusetts influence and who has never to
my certain knowledge held clerkship in the
yard. In the reduction in the civil establish
ment last July, 1 was retained at
reduced salary in the identical position to
which was appointed in February, as above
stated, thereby neither dispossessing, nor injur-
ing any one. At this time Mr.. p. was dis
charged from his position as writer and i'm.
mediately re-employed at reduced compensa-
tion in position which he has since occu pied
and is still holding at the present time, thus
simply bearing reduction equal with my own.

particle of the perhaps inevitable inconven-
fences to be endured, and shuts off the whole
batch upon the people of Portland. 1t re-
fuses to lower its bridge, although prior to the
late raising OF the road and traek-hastily
improvised after discussion of the bridge and
grade began-it stood two feet, lacking one
inch, higher than the Park street bridge, tax
ing the least distance in each case betwixt the
track and bridge stringers. Although the
Dridge Is now one and a third feet
higher than the Park street bridge-a bridge
built by the railroad to suit its own notions =
yet it still refuses to lower the same an inch.
1t procured, short time since, the insertion
in the newspapers, presumably by the hand
Of "WL.P," of an item about the IA foot six
inch smoke stacks of the Grand Trunk rail-
road, as if smoke stack could not be cut
down, and as if the huge freight engines of
the Grand Trunk were used in jobbing about
the yard of the Boston and Maine railroad!
The said railroad has also piled up the track
under the High street bridge t,co feet above
the level OF the same track at the Commercial
street crossing-these figures 1 quote, as do
other writer's on the subject, from the report
OF the engineer making the private survey
referred to. Said track is also two
feet ten inches above the outlet of
the culvert just below the bridge-facts which
demonstrate, as the report of the engineer
asserts, the entire practicability of lowering
the track from sixteen to twenty inches,
without lmpairing the drainage or the work.
ing facilities of the road. Now if the rail-
road, having decent regard for the con-
venlence of the people of Portland and any
disposition to compromise, will drop its roa d.
bed say fifteen inches, and then bring down
the bri dge to nearly corresponding height
above the track with the Park street bridge,
the public can have fair grade, and the
road can still be as well off as at Park street,
and better if it chooses.
Instead OF that, it refuses to bulge, and
and compels the street committee to devise
crooked, unequally sloped and wholly incon-
yenient roadway from the bridge to CONNER
cial street.
These are the essential facts in the
case, 1t would have been well had "W. l..

to their discussion. 1t would have been
well, likewise, if taking advantage of the op-
portunity,he had said word in regard to that
noble passenger station, ,"in respect to which,
as events are proving, the Boston and Maine
company hired the use of his tongue to tell
untruths to the people of Portland. In con-
clusion and pending his rising to explain,

1t has been supposed by those best informed,
that the numerous communications about High
street bridge in the daily papers have mainly
originated from single source, though that
source was in some cases concealed by the
persons delivering the communications for pub
leatiOns. The anonymous letter in relation
thereto published in your columns of Saturday,

liable evidence, did not come from the suspect
ed source, namely, from a gentleman who is or
has been regularly employed and paid by the
Eastern and Maine Genital railroads as a news
paper "puffer'' of his employers
We do not propose and have not the time
to enter the lists of controversy against q
disciplined soldier, whose days and nights
may be devoted exclusively to the contest.
We OILY desire to say that there has been
no disposition on the part of the corpora tion
constructing the bridge to do other than the
best for all concerned. 1t is impossible to
make so large improvements as have been
made by the Boston and Maine Railroad in this
city without some person or interest feeling
to it should be considered that the improve
ment has been accomplished without Great
ing complaint at any other point than High
street; and that upon the whole, looking at
Park street and looking at the extension of
York street, which has enabled the City Coun-
Gil to arrange convenient overhead bridge to
Cape Elizabeth, the general result will be that
the City Council acting in connection with the
railroads. have secured great advantages for the
city. We trust these Considerations will not be
shut from view by any e1 pdrte and prejudiced
statements, though showered upon the news
