Tilden expresses himself strongly and en-
ergetically on the subject of the cipher dis
patches. There Is no hesitation In his denial
of all completely in them, all knowledge OF
them: his denial could not be more sweeping
or emphatic than it Is; he never saw the dis
patches, he says; he never knew Of them;
was wholly unacquainted with any cipher
whatsoever; further, he knew nothing Of the
Democrats who went South to overlook the
counting OF the electoral votes of South Caro-
lima and Florida, and did not even know their
names save from the newspapers. AS for
Nephew Pelton, Tilden expresses himself as
strongly disappearing of his mode of carry
ing on campaign. He did not wish Pelton
to have anything to do with his campaign;
he placed no confidence In him; he was the
very last man In the world that he would
wish to have anything to do with his affairs
in fine, he sums up Nephew Pelton as an
of1icious intermeddler, with whose "offenses,"
as he calls them, he will not be shouldered.
Mr.. Tilden's testimony on this question is so
straightforward and thorough that 1t will not
only be satisfactory to the Democrats, but
must put an end to the Sneers of the Repub-
licans at him. He has shown conclusively
that he was the victim of officous friends,
who undertook to act for him without any
authority to do so. 1t Is to be regretted that
he did not expose these petty, intermeddling
SchemerS sooner.

provisions Of the bill are any indi-
cation OF the future policy Of Congress,
and we do not see what other construction is
admissible. this great work Of internal I'm
provement will be undertaken, and at no dis
tant day, on scale commensurate with It's
vast Importance and under auspices that will
ensure success and reflect credit on the coun-
try. This we take this measure to mean, and
In passing 1t Congress places on record It's
formal acceptance OF the theory that the Inn
provement Of the Mississippi and the pro-
lection OF the great interests along It's course
from Its devastating floods are national
works, which 1t Is the duty as well as the
interest Of the Federal government to take
under Its control.
This Ia the proper view for the United
States government to take, and the gentle
men who have finally succeeded In Impress
Ing Il, and committing Congress to 1t, deserve
great credit for their jealous and efficient
labors. Ii tho project mapped out In this
resolution Is carried out we shall have no
com plant to make In the end, though we can
not conceal our disappointment at the failure
OF the appropriations necessary to set the
work on foot Immediately. Great and IRE
trevable disaster marks every year
OF delay, and, with each success
sive flood fortunes are swept away and
destruction and distress to thousands of
people supervene while the ultimate expense
OF repairing and restoring what Ia damaged
and destroyed is multiplied by procrastina-
ton. Now that the United States government
has acknowledged It's duty In the premises,
tl,n root fN hn hat TAR
for all. Besides, whatever paper policies
Congress may enunciate, we shall never feel
assured until we see the appropriations made
and the work under way. We trust our Con-
gressmen will press the advantage they have
obtained at every session Of Congress till
their Just demands are met.

MIR. ROBERTsON's LEVEE BILL.

After al. the threats OF combination and
coalitions between the Southern members OF
Congress to force from the reluctant East and
North some sort OF justice to this section in
the disbursement of the public moneys, Mr..
Robertson's levee bill could be carried through
the House only by shearing 1t clean OF all
appropriations. After all the high hopes we
had been allowed to indulge 1t Is bitter dis
appointment indeed to be told at last
that this Is the best that could be done
at this session Of Congress, but that
the bill will surely pass the SEN
ate. There has evidently been relaxing
ofbackbone all along the line, and our section
has again been forced to content itself with
What little was doled out to 1t, without any
power to compel recognition Of its just
rights We do not know who is to blame for
THIS, or, indeed, that any blame at all has
oeen incurred. We have no doubt that the
LOUISIANA members Of Congress at least have
oeen active, viglant and Jealous, and have &C.
complshed all that was possible under the
circumstances.
What Congress has done In passing the
Robertson bill Is easily summed up. and il at
least promises a great deal Ia the future
though nothing Is done for our Immediate
relief. The bill commits Congress to the
improvement of the navigation of the
Mississippi river and the establish
ment and keeping up at government
expense of thorough levee system, as incl
dental and necessary thereto. 1t appoints a
board Of engineers to survey the river from
Alton to the gulf, with instructions to report
q thorough and comprehensive system OF
public improvements, looking to the deepen
ing and permanent location OF the channel oil
the river, and the protection Of the vast and
fertile alluvial region lying all along the
banks of the stream between the points indi

Ed. JOURNAL The editor Of the Penn
berville Independent (fog horny, in his New
Years issue, comes out in an article of
nearly one-third column in length, which
is, in fact, the lengthiest article he has ever
been known to originate since he has as.
sumed the editorship of the Fog Horn, and
in his review of your Scotch Ridge letter
relative TO the death of Mr.. T. l.. Webb,
he says in substance something TO this ef-
feet: That lie would not answer that ego.
tistical correspondent were it not that the
truthfulness Of his inference in regard to
the sacredness of Pemberville IA looms, aud
the responsibility Of their proprietors as
concerns the death of Mr.. Webb. lie
quotes literally from the Scotch Ridge let
ter, and says all who are acquainted with
the citizens of Pemberville know them to
he civil and religious. / freely confess
that take no exceptions to their civilitiea.
He then concludes by saying, to be sure
we have few saloons in our midst, but l
believe the pr lprietors to be honorable men
They never murdered any man and it is not
likely they ever will. do not wish this
to be understood as approving of the sale
of liquor"
How prcposterous to allude to a man rs
being upright and honorable, and then in
the same breath condemn his buSiIiess aa
being disreputable." The worst phase Of
the whole affair is, that the old fogy snenks
his article into his columns az a special
communication over the signature of "Ho-
mo-" do absolutely pity the old lunk-
head. All around about us are men whom
we despise and call shftless-empty bags
who never will stand up although we fill
them ever 80 many times.
Don't you suppose it is misfortune for
a man to be born limpsy? Don't you sup
pose it is unfortunate for man to be 30
constructed that his thoughts cannot touch
each other aEd cannot form concatena-
tion? In my opinion every man should
be like those little tug boats which ply
on the North river, with three or four bar
ges on either side and with other barges at
tachcd to them, till for half a mile, al.
which they are conveying. Now when
God has given great executive power to a
person lie is to be n tow and to take down
the stream hundreds OF those hlunt-bowed,
slow sailing barges. l would right here
remark for the better understanding Of
those who are not acquainted with the for.
mer relation which existed between myself
and the editor of the Independent, that
have been struggling with him for n long
time in the manner above described; and
to me he always seemed stubborn and un-
appreciative. \ short time since severed
the line of onnection-hence his abusive
outbreak. Twill merely ndd in conclusion,
Tor the meditation of that old gentleman
OF independence, that when men come to
me, naturally and spontaneous, and say,
he p me to bear my burdens, consider it
the greatest compliment that can be paved
me this side Of heaven-even if one does
occasionally seem not to appreciate my aid.

The Facts abOnt the Death OF Mr.. T..
l.. Webb.

MR.. FL IToR 81 have in my possession
copy of the JOURNAL, dated Dec. q, 1873,
nnd in perusing its columns came across
the Scotch Ridge correspoadence with
statement concerning the death of L. l.
Webb, one of our neghbors, which de-
nounce as false. He rather intimates that
Mr.. Webb came to his death by intoxica-
ti0n, being unable to get home. He fur
ther states that Mr.. Webb had in his pos-
session when found two bottles and Jug,
one of the bottles being nearly empty from
Some cause. think that this means he
drank the contents. lie goes on to say that
the jug and other bottle were filled with
corn juice of an inferior quality. Iwonder
how he knows this? He must have tasted it
1, one of the jurymen, do say to the read
ers of the JOURNAL, aud to the people OF
Wood county, in which Mr. Webb was we'll
known, being an eK-Sheriff, that the above
statement is false. | say false, because |
can prove it to be false at any time re-
quested.
Now, il it is not imposing on the col
umns Of your paper, | will endeavor to
write few lines ON the death of Mr.. r.Webb,
u well-spoken and useful man in this To-
eality. Mr.. Webb was an old and we'll
known citizen OF Wood county, being about
'eventy-three years of age at the time of
his death, which came about something in
this manner; Mr.. Webb, at the time of
his death, lived on the J. W. Phillips farm
about five miles IRON Pemberville, where
he was engaged in the boot and shoe trade.
On the 18th Of December he went to Penn.
berville to procure some leather. The
weather being severely cnl,l and Mr..
Webb being more or less inlirm and very
poorly clad, and m am informed subject
to ap0plexy, it Is the opinion OF many that
he was taken with iii on his return home
and lay down by large oak stump in the
middle Of the road near the residence OF
Esq. Weddell, about 81 miles from Penn
berville, where he perished in the intense
cold and snow. Circumstna aces show that
he had lam about Is or 20 hours in the po-
sition in which he wss found.
Esq. Weddell, acting Coroner, summoned
jury to examine his remains and hold an
inquest We found nothing OF any value,
save 10 cents in currency, new pair of
socks and some small bits of tobacco. A..
bng by his side contained large. roll Of
leather, a pair Of wooden shoes and two
small bottles of whiSkey, which evidently
had not been touched or uncorked, they
being both full, which makes the statement
of "Alspice" false. The bag was securely
tied, and from all appearances had not been
united. These are the facts. The yer.
dict of the Jury was that the dece sed
came to his death by some unknown cause,
there being no marks OF violence upon his
person. The friends were informed OF his
death and they took care OF the remains
after the inquest was held, from whence
