The fact is, the committee has been most
egregiousy slandered by certain correspond
eats in the interest .of Cowdon's absurd
schemes, employed by journals who have
always been bitter and furious opponents OF
the plan of river improvement adopted by
the River Commission. The press and peo-
pie of the country have been misled by these
false dispatches until the belief tina. the
committee is CoWdon and outlet comm t.
tee, appointed expressly to condemn the
Mississippi River Commission, is wide
spread, and some time will be required to
do away with this erroneous and injurious
impression.
We are informed by gentlemen of the
committee who are not known as friends of
river Improvement, and who have been pro-
claimed as fayoripg outlets, that some OF the
dispatches sent TO the Chicago Tribune and
New York Herald are tissues of misre presen-
| tation and falsehood that the correspondents
wilfnlly perverted the facts, and drew con-
illusions that were utterly unWarranled by
| anything that has occurred.
| Some of the members who have been an
nounced by these dispatches as enemies to
| the present plan of Mississippi river i'm.
provements are naturally Indignant at the
manner in which sentiments have been at
| tributed to them that they do not entertain
| and have never expressed.
| The fact is the committee, while not en-.
| tirely composed of river Improvement men
| is composed of men of intelligence, who, il
| is not reasonable to suppose, would lenC
| themselves to the shabby and selfish aims O.
Capt Cowdon and of the men vino are inter
esled in land speculations, the success o
which is dependent upon the success Of Cow
don's Lake Borgne outlet humbug.
We do not propose to insult the gentlemen
of the committee by assuming that they, OIL
any OF them, could be induced to report con
trary to their conscientious convictions. w
refuse to believe that they are owned by an,
man or sci of men, and all we ask or expec
of them is that they will examine the subjec
without bias and listen to both sides.
With all the facts before the committe
and before Congress- we have no fears abou
the result.
The silly vaporing of certain pilots abou
the impossibility of controlling the river, an

THE CINCINNATI "COMMERCIALIs" OPPOSl
TON,

The Cincinnati Commercial, with Cowden
presumably sitting at its elbow, is in a
furious rage with New Orleans; because she
will not raise row about the 'failure" OF
the jetIies, denounces the latter as "hum-
bug and swindle," and wants ever 80 many
outlets. The Commercial is growing very
red in the face, and there are signs of an ap-
preaching explosion if the world refuses
much longer to recognize lie engineering
abilities. When a paper gets 10 be SO
alarmingly Jealous, SO absurdly angry, and
SO preposterously unfair and inaccurate in
all it's utterances, in a matter of this sort, il
excites either suspicion or disgust. The
Commercial is absolutely incapable of stat
ing correctly any fact in regard TO the Jet
ties or the Improvement of the river.

sy.tema,,ea,iy Robbsa for Ten mon,b,

CHICAGO, November 25.-The Times says.
"Late last night it was rumored that thes
wholesale boot and shoe house of Phelps,
Dodge & Palmer had, for ten months past,
been systematically robbed OF some $4,000 to
$4,000, probably more, by some of their trav-
cling statesmen, in collision with others OF
their most trustworthy employees Tue plan
pursued was for the statesmen to send in from
new towns in the West fictitious orders from
imaginary firms, or those which had dis
solved partnership. Double orders would
then be shipped, the duplicates being taken
up by the travelling salesrnen and restored to
the Chicago firm. The greed and boldness
of the coniederates excited suspicion, and an
investigation followed which, it is said, IN
earthed the fact that upward of dozen
men were in the conspiracy. One of them,
J. N. Wells, is said TO have been arrested,
but nothing can be learned here. The whole
STAIR has been very quietly conducted, and
the policy of silence has been adopted by
| the members of the firm.
THE RESULT.
| As q result of the larceny in Phelps
| Dodge & Palmer's establishment, Augustus
and John N. Wells employees, were to-day
| held on a larceny charge to the Crimina
| Court in bonds of 81 500. The warran
charges thefts OF $500. No testimony wa
taken 10 show the basis of the charges

There was broad smile on the face oil
the spectators in tParlor P, when Capt
feathers very frankly admitted that there
was a scheme 10 make money out of the
Lake Borgne outlet by purchasing land at
the proposed location of the said outlet
which land, it was reasonably thought
would appreciate in value after the neces-
sary appropriation was made. The captain
with an eve to the main chance, had agreed
to pay $4,000 for a tract of land in the
aforesaid locality, provided Congress came
down with the funds 10 carry out Cowdon':
pet folly. Congress could not be induced tC
make the investment, and the lands are
therefore likely to remain for many long
day the home of the mosquito and the bull
frog; but there can be no doubt'about the
captains right 10 make an investment IN
swamp lands if he feels like it.
