The Allegation Of Mr.: Wallis that Col.
Earle, when making his charge against
Col. Woolford, appealed to John Lee
Carroll for its truth and that Carroll
assented BY his silence" il now explicit.
ly contradicted BY Earle himself and
thus the attempt Of Wallis to connect
Carroll with the affair in question is
di.bonored b. Wallis own witness.-
Eotsithstanding this, Mr.. Wallis has
published another letter, repeating bis
original accusation, and it is to this and
the statement Of Earle, lately given to
the public. that Woolford makes the
following rejoinder which, a. it appeals
to official records against mere personal
reccilections, leaves nothing wanting to
complete the most satisfactory .,ndiea.
tion Of the Comptroller. Says Col.
Woolford: ,.s..a. .. .r ., ta... .,l
"Mr.. Wallis, the rival candidate,'
through his organ, the Baltimore Amer
ican, of. this date: has tepAaSed his
sweeping denuneiafion Of ne. The

Wallis has TO keep up his battery Of 81
tuperatioa u the statement said to have
been made by Mr.. Earle on the foor Of
the Senate, while seeking BY some means
revenue measures proposed
by me for the Legislature of 1874. I
therefore deem II due to myself to again
pronounce the charge utterly and entire
II false, and in order to show that 1t is
false, I here reiterate the fact that no
bill vas introduced into either house of
the Legislature in 1872 to grant q PEN
sion TO any man from Somerset county,
and that no such bill was referred to
Mr.. Earle's Finance Committee or could
have been the subject-matter of sdE5ca-
cy by me. ! chI1snge Mr.. Earle or
Mr.. Wallis to show that such bill ever
existed, and it 10 the easiest thing in the
world, If such bill did exist or was be-
fore the Legislature, to prove it by re-
ferenceto the journals of the two houses
which must, Of course, show the intro.
6iction and disposition of every bin
that was brought before the Legislature
I challenge Mr.. Wallis or Mr.. Earle to
prove that any such bill ever was refer
red to the Finance Committee or ever
had an existence.
If they do not show by the journal
Of proceedings that there was such
bill' they mtst rctract the charge OF
stand convicted of uttering and reiter.
ating q malicious calumny.
further state that Mr.. Wallis re-
lations with me were of the most friend
" and cordial character until May last
when the Baltimore and Ohio Raii~s,
Company paid into the treasury the
amount of the Judgment recovered BY
the State, at which time Mr.. Walli,
wrote me an insulting letter in regard
to said payment, and q correspondence
ensued which am now having copied
and will give to the public, in orde'
that they may judge whether motives
other than q merely disinterested pur
pose to promote reform have influenced

Bijah's Jury Argument.

His Honor came in, removed
three apples from his coat tail
pocket and placed them on the
desk, and John Ruttan was called
out. He was short man, with a
thick neck and CLASSY eyes, and he
said he wanted a jury.
"And clean shirt and o shave
wouldn't hurt you," replied the
Court, tumbling over the warrants.
Is 1t true that you were drunk ? y
No sir-I fell down." was the
reply.
Well, you can now fall up.
You've been here often, and I'll
make 1t sixty days. Thatll let
you out in time to make garden" :"
II demand jury!" exclaimed
the prisoner.
"I'll send you up one in a day Oh
two in a box, but for the present
you must get ready for a ride in
the buggy"
II demand a jury " shouted the
prisoner, as Bijah led him away.
The old janitor took the crowhai
out of its stall, pointed to the
bloody hairs sticking to the butt
end, and hoarsely whispered:
"See tharI That man also wan
ted juryl"
The prisoner turned pale and sa
down on a four.gallon jug.

The difficulty of Mr.. Becchcr's
defense is that it requires people
to believe that, after having dis
covered, on the night Of April 80,
1870, that Tilton had been guilty
of the most infamous offence
against him--an offence for which
it had not been claimed that he
ever expressed the slightest re-
gret--he wrote Of him, two days
later, that che would have been a
better man in my circumstances
than | have been;" that, the next
month, lie characterized him as
"capable of the noblest things s"
that while his base conduct was
fresh in his mind, he kissed him
and sat on his knee and finally,
that for years he devoted his ut
most efforts-"more thought and
Judgment and earnest desire than
l ever did for myself all hundred
fold"--to reinstate an infamous
wretch in a position that it would
have been crying shame for him
to occupy.-Springfeld Repub.

Levee Committee Report.

The committee Of engineers,
appointed by the President in ac-
eordance with resolution of Con-
gress, to recommend some feasible
means of protecting the lower
Mississippi Valley from overflow,
have submitted their report, from
which we extract the following:
In fine, then, in accordance with
the terms Of the law constituting
this commission, we submit the
following plan for protecting the
alluvial region of the Mississippi
river against overflow, promising
that, in our judgment, no practical
aid can be derived from any diyi-
sion of tributaries, or making of
ARTIFICIAL reservoirs; that cut-offs
are very pernicions; and that ar
titicial outlets, though correct in
theory, find no useful application
to the Mississippi. The plan to
consist, first, in keeping open the
Atchafalaya and La Fourche, and
If borings shall show it to be safe,
in re-opening the Plaquemine;
second, in general levee system
extending from the head OF the al
iuvial region to the gulf, including
the valleys ofthe tributary streams
The main lines of levee to be of
sufficient hight Gas already compu-
ted) to restrain the floods, and of
the requisite cross section to re-
sist the action of the water. Where
reasonable security against caving
requires large areas OF front lands
to be thrown out, protection
against ordinary high waters is to
be given by low front levecs, close
ly following the bends. Suitable
sluices and gates. in such cases, to
be provided in the front and main
levee for the rain water drainage.
The essential conditions which
must be considered in devising
any proper system Of levee admin
istration for our great alluyial
valley are the following: The
country is divided into six natural
drainage districts: the st. Francis
bottom lands, comprising the west
bank of the river from Cape Gil
rardeau to Helena; the White
river bottom lands, lying between
Helena and the mouth of the Ar
kansas; the Tensas bottom lands,
extending from the Arkansas to
the Red river; the Yazoo bottom
lands, lying between the bluffs be-
low Memphis and Vicksburg OH
the cast bank Louisiana, below
Red river, on the west bank; and
Louisiana, below Baton Rouge. on
the east bank. Each of these dis
tricts, SO far as the problem of pro-
lection Is concerned, is unit, and
should have a responsible chief
engineer, clothed with ample pow
crs. Although each drainage dis
trict would thus be under the full
control of its chief for all internal
matters, certain general relations,
which cannot be ignored, exist
between them all, and require mu
tnal responsibility; such as the
location of the levees Oh the op-
posite banks in such a manner as
10 avoid any local engagement in
floods.
