AMONG Eastern journals of prominence
and influence, the New York World, if We
except the Graphic, may be said to stand
alone in giving an unrcquvocal support to
the scheme of improN .ng the Mississippirivcr.
The people Of that vast section of the coun-
try interested in what is to them the
most important of pending public measures,
cannot be otherwise than grateful for the
powerful aid rendered by so powerful an
ally. 1t has evidently studied the subject
with desire to get at the actual truth, and
among the results Of that study is an
earnest advocacy Of the jetties. In a
recent editorial on the subject, it says 1.-THE
effects of the ,jcttes have been very marked
and curious. and are readily seen by inspect.
ing the models One Of the predictions of
failure OF the ictty system was based upon
the belief that the sand and mud removed
would be found forming new bar at the
mouth of the channel The very reverse of
this has actually occurred, The east wind
prevails almost constantly at the mouth of
the river and the consequences of this is Il
! prevalent sea current to the west. This
current presses under the lighter water dis
charged by the river at right angles 10 il,
and as the river discharge increases in
strength and depth, it acts like IN enormous
boom thrust out from the land into the sea.

the westward, and beneath which it exca.

of this current was denied by the engineers
who opposed the .jetty system, but Mr..
Eads, confident of its existence. cur we'd the

front of the .jcttics amounts to six or eight
feet, and il is very marked, even out mile
distant from them Large deposits of sand
and mud have been made on the sea sides
OF the jetties, almost to the very ends of
them, by the wave action of the sea and
by the escapcmcnt of river water through
the willow walls Of the jcttics, carrying
with them large quantities of mud
and sand, which fall in the still
water outside the jctties." 1t then
gives a succinct review of the diff
fculdcs encountered by Capt. Eads during
the progress of the work on the jct,ies til,
hardships entailcd upon him, in pccuniar,

A RADICAL DlFFERENCE.-Rev.
Joseph Emery declined a nomi-
nation on the Democratic State
ticket Of Oregon, because it was
inconsistent with his sacred call
ing to mingle in party politics.
Rev. II. X. Hines accepted the
nomination for Congress from
the Republican party of that
State, stating that he "regarded
the voice Of a Republican Con-
vention rs the voice of God" Ie
has been truly said that the po-
sltien Of a clergyman is either
nearer to God or nearer to the
Devil than that Of any other
man, and Bro. Hines is the first
clergyman we ever heard eX-
plain his position by claiming
party politics as being Of Divine
origin.

forfeiture of the lands on the
