The Chicago Tribune of u few days
ago contained criticism upon thc pa-
per recently contributed hY senator
Angus Cameron of this state ~ the
North American Review. The paper
referred 10 il a plea Tor the Rrpub-
lican party and thn Tribune seems
To think That sncIehampions as Cam
cron will do the party more harm
than good. Cameron, although elect
"a BY the independent Republicans
Wd Democratic in the Legislature,
las always acted With tHa most rad
ical wing Of hl parity. 1'hc Tribune
thinks that IL The fore ri ,lt Of the
Democrats who voted for Linn WAS rs

boiling Republicans to secure CAM

THE JETTIEs.
They are = Success in Every Sense OF
the word.
SENIOR.

From private letter received in this
city yesterday bya prominent citizen,
we are permitted to make the
following extract concerning the jetties.
From this 1t will be seen that notwlth>
standing the misrepresentation and
falsehOods put afoat by the enemies OF
Capt. Eads and his great work, he Is
pushing steadily and successfully ahead.
The letter referred to. which was written
by gentleman who spends much OF his
time at the jetties, says:
The jetties IRE successful in every sense
Of the word. Capt. Eads has now no
doubt Of his twenty-four foot payment
In month. He has much to contend
with in the delay OF government not pay
Ing as promptly as was hoped; but IN
the face OF the present high river he is
not only maintaining his own, but the
scOur Is steadily going On-a fact not ex>
pected whilst the river remains so high.
The proof the whole thing is simply
arrived at by the tact that vessels are
coming in and going out daily by the
dozens. drawing often twenty-three and
a halt feet without trouble, and they can
not pass Southwest Pass drawing over
fourteen feet. 1t certainly needs no
further comment. and Eads should not
only be promptly paid, but bonus IN oney
ought to be raised by the whole valley
instead.

In a later communication to the Argus

upon the seniors. Why did not Stanislas
attempt to prove his charged If he had
done so he would have convicted himself
OF the crime of making a false charge.
He says one OF the seniors poems, "Half.

no resemblance to the nursery rhymes

"Stanislas" must have known that he
was making false charge when he made
that OF plagiarism against the verses
writer's Of the seniors; and when he ask,
ed them to devote attention to the subs
lime 10 "Mother Goose" he evidently
had selfish motive. Being a man OF rs
little appreciation OF the leautiful In
literature as Of truth in any thing, he de-
slres the seniors to write to his com,

appreciation of Mother Goose" the

those OF Paradise Lost to IN ordinary

musical as the measured march of the
stately lines OF Tennyson to any one else.
