Permit me 70 pronounce, as an expires.
sion OF numerous scientific gentlemen OF
my acquaintance,a q very decided objection
" tne theory OF your Mudd TuFte1 com.
munlcant. ltmay be that conceive, from
me mixed phraseOlOgy Of the said article,
lnht the author recognizes q hOmOgeneity
OF the distinguished names OF Eads and
Vhea. IL SCENE 70 me that the intent Of
.ne article was simply TO give prominence
70 someOodys name; aB, upon q careful
reading Of the same can discover no ar.
gument tending TO an hydraulic conclu.
sIon. The theory Of controlling the high
waters Of the Mississippi river was well
announced In your issue OF the l1th ult,
The position there taken was that with the
leVees (belng indespensable) we must
nave compensatory relief; that relief
was indicated as outlets.
Until 1t can be proven that the outlets
lntO these ultimate receptacles, such
stream as the Mississippi river has or can,
artlncially, be made TO cave, will be- i'm.
pediments 10 its progress; or that such
outlets will not reduce the high water
plane, It is useless to set forth, much less
70 discuss, the controlling Of the overflow
waters.
In your article, to which reference has
0een made, you demonstrated, In such a
mensuratiOn form, as common IntelIigence
could not mlsapprehend, that outlets, com.
mensurate with the excess Of water, was
All that was needed; and II 10 remarkab
that such demonstration should be sIgnallv
ignored,
Without, however, making the least en-.
deavoF to sustain your theory, we simply
i0rtily Il by remarklug that the dissImiIaf.
ity OF the geological strata OF the banks OF
the Mississippi river evidence the imprae.
ticabillty Of jetties. Let's hear more OF
this thing. II we can improve hydFauliOy
on the old Egyptian plans, then somebody
will be wiser than solomon.

IMPROVEMENT, At THE PENrrENrIARY.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE PENITENTIARY.
-Messrs. Hamilton and Hebron, un-
der contract with the State, in accord
anCe with The law OF 1877, are rapidly
pushing forward the work upon the
Peui,entinry improvements. The main,
or office, building will be one story
high, and contain The State Super
inlendenl'5 Office, the Lessees office, the
physicians Office, clerks Office, sample
rooms, storerooms and armOry. The
front wall from President street TO the
main building on Congress street is al
so being built. These improvements
will not require any outlay of money
or appropriation, but will be paid for,
as required by the law Of 1877, from
the money received from the lessees
for hire OF convicts. In other words,
the institution is self-suppOrting and
will pay its own expenses. The lessees
expect these Improvement to be COM
pleted by the time tbe Legislature
meets.-- Jackson Clarion.

English Press Comments on the Sum

LoNDOS, Dec. 2O-The Manchester
Guardian this morning prints dispatch
from Its London correspondent, whic b
states that every attempt to strike out q
new foreign policy tor the Government was
discussed In Cabinet. The retirement OF
Lord Derby from the Foreign Ministry, is
by no means improbable. among the rlI-
mOred projects for summOning Parliament,
are inCrea, ing armaments, and purchase
Of the Turkish feet. Several financial
arguments In the London journals, note q
marked tirmness In Egyptian bonds es-
terday, amid depression, and ascribe It TO
political reasons.
The Tlmes's leading article throws out
strong indications OF the writer's belief
that Parliament will be asked 10 vote
money for the purchase oi further inter-
est Of some kind Ia Egypt. lNote-There
are two purchases possible, namely, the
khedive's remaining interest Ia the SueE
Canal, and the POrIe's sovereignty over
EgSpt.l
The News, in q leading article, says:
ave think Parliament has been summoned
to approve war preparations.

The MayerSVille Leader rushes to
the defense OF the Levee Board, and
says that the members Of the Board for
Issaquena county are honest men, to
the manner born, and 90 on. II the
gentlemen were born down here, that
settles the discussion, aud the planters
In the valley for the future will feel
easy. Whenever you find one Of the
"manner born fellows" you are all
right, for they can do no wrong.
But, Mr.. Leader, we never charged
that the Issaquena members are
not honest. We charge that the affairs
Of the Levee Board In the years past
were. We believe, corruptly managed.
We believe that many Of the Collectors
have appropriated the funds, and we
think that the atFairs of the Board
should not be managed as those Of a
sealed private corporation, and we
know that the people would be better
satisfied they were openly accounted
to for every dollar taken from them by
this grinding tax. We beg TO remind the
Leader that the present gentlemen were
not always members Of the Board, and
that there are other ooNntiS" !" tLo
District besides Issaquena. We should
certainly have said nothing about this
immense tax II we had not been, by
the most reputable citizens Of the
Levee District, urged time and again 10
do so. These citizens propose to give
US iacts and figures; II they do, we will
give them 10 the public. In the mean.
time we ask the Leader to inform us on
how many bales OF cotton was the tax,
last year, reported for the landings oil
Ilolland'-, Huntonia, Choctaw and
Rolling Fork, on SunAower river?
