Capt. Eads writes to the President OF the
Jetty Company, in st. Louis, that one mile of
the east jetty at the South Pass of the mouth
Of the Mississippi has been completed, con-
trolling the river to high water mark, while
great progress has been made upon the west
jetty and other works included in the plan
for removing the bar. As result of his
operations thus far, Capt. Eads reports that
not less than 100000 cubic yards of earth
have been removed, thus effecting decided
deepening of the channel. It's found that
ahe tidal action of the sea, which is controlled
30 some extent by the guide-piles, is also aid
ing the work; and with the river securing the
bar on one side and the SEA on the other, it is
believed that the success of the jetty plan is
now fully assured.

STRAWS IN THE AIR.
GOV. KELLoGG's COMING MESSAGE.

1t is now pretty well ascertained that Gov.
Kellogg, in his forthcoming message, intent
to somewhat startle the community with several
shrewdly devised plans, through which the
Republican party may be able to secure an
extension of its power in the State. From
source most reliable we learn that among
other suggestions he will present to the
Legislature recommendation for them to pass
law abrogating the act by which the present
lessees OF the State Penitentiary are in pos
session of the same. He will advise that this
statute be repealed and that the State take
charge OF all convicts.
Beyond this and as measure calculated
somewhat to deceive the unwary at first sight,
he would further ask that the charter of the
Levee Company be annulled. If all Gov.
kellogg's objections to the present company
were true, as he alleges, the simple fact that
he does or will not ask repeal of the tax,
brings out SAVIOR of double dealing. And
why this? 1t has leaked out that these SEEM
ing retrenchment measures are only willy de-
vices whereby the receipts of the Penitentia-
ry and the leyee tax may be diverted to cam
paign purposes of the Republican party. Let
our Legislators look to it

ATTENTION, SKrpMAsTERs.-We are indebt-
cd to Mr. Z. P. Champlin, Deputy Collector
Of this port, for the following information,
which will prove of interest to shipmasters:
The French Minister at Washington has ad
dressed a communication to Secretary Fish,
stating that his government has found it
necessary in order to prevent concerted
attempt to rescue its prisoners in the penal
colonies of New Caledonia, to establish very
strict regulations in reference to foreign YES
sells visiting the coast of the French penal
colonies. At fne approach of any vessel
coward the northeast coast of the Isle of
Pines, gunboat will advance to meet it and
prevent its going into port unless it is special
ly authorized to do SO by the territorial COM
raandant. A refusal to obey the reSulatiods

in the Auburn Asylum. Scannelrs
friends were not expecting anything Of

was an insane criminal.

left on the streets for dogs, or thrown

this decd of horror perpetrated upon a

Christ. As to our government, it is
engaged in work of wonderful con-
sanguinity-that of butchering and an
Initiating the birth-right of the people,
American liberty, and time is too pre-
cious to waste in deeds of mercy abroad.
The administration, wrapped in its sor-
did selfshness, and crazed by its de-
sire to plunge the country into war
with Spain to further the plans OF
Grants third term scheme, while the
people are mystifed, and their thoughts
drawn from the real object of cunning

ness in the next trial which occurs on

jury an investigation, a return of an
indictment against him, or a failure to
find such an Indictment. This. would
show some sincerity, and would be III

him and JOYCE and others look very

The Democratic convention in the
fourth Tennessee district nominated
Hon. H. T. Riddle Of Wilson county,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr.. Fife. The convention was held
on the Sd inst.
There seems to be a fatality hanging
over the successful candidate in this
district. In the fall of 1874 Hon. j.
NJ. Head was nominated by the De
mocracy and elected. He soon died,
and at a special election Hon. Mr., Fife
was elected, Mr.. Riddle being one OF
his contestants for the Democratic
nomination. Mr.. Fite died and there
were eight contestants before the con.
vention that nominated Mr.. Riddle.
1t seems that the fatality has no terror
for the office seekers of the district
As a nomination is equivalent to an
election, we will soon have riddle
in Congress but it remains to be seer
whether any one there can solve thii
Riddle. --.--.- -..,.-r.
