When John Cowdon talks about
the work of the Mississippi River
Commission being a failure here and
at all other points, and about bring
ing the Yazoo river through as his
idea, he must certainly think that the
people Of this city, as well as other
river towns, are set Of galOots, whom
he can ho0dwink with his smooth
tongue and say II told you So" We
would refresh the memory Of the err
ing John a little upon the subject Of
Vicksburg as river city. In the
year 1877, soon after the cut of was
made, the Engineer Department Of
the UniIed States sent commission
OF three eminent engineers-General
j. II. Simpson, Major Charles Il.
Suter and Major W. II. Benyaurd-
who came to this city Immediately
and made q thorough and complete
inspection Of Yicksburg harbor and
all approaches to it. That commis-
sion, which no ono will dare say are
not eminent in their profession, in
their report to the Secretary of War.
suggested the very same plans that Mr..
Uowdon now says emanated from his
so called brilliant brain. To begin
with, the strengthening of Delta
Point was strongly urged by the engi
neers; and, secondly, the dredging out
Of the harbor in front of the city, and
thirdly, to bring the YaEoo river
through MoNutt's Lake and Ohicka,
/ saw bayou ap3 down by that route. No
one who was here then and whose
memory is not in the last stage Of
weakness will deny that the above
were the plans OF the commission sent
here in 1877. Mr.. Cowdon is again
mistaken when he says that "the
works projected by the commission
have proved to be failures"
If Mr.. Cowdon's eyes have deluded
him into believing what he says, but
we hardly think they have, we would
invite him TO takea trip 10 Delta point
and examine the revetments that have
been put there by orders Of the River
Commission, which have protected
that point in every place whore the
current has struck ii heaviest. We
would also remind him that the gov
eminent works at Wilson's Point and
Providence Reach, which have been
carried on under the River Commits.

We would also remind him thar to-

Is absolutely no detention at these
points. which have always been terrors

will not consider as failures" As
for the Yazoo plan il was suggested
by citizens Of Vicksbure. who had
the survey made by Mr.. Dabney, aud
then submitted it to the Board of
Engineers above mentioned, who
adopted it.
The dredging in front OF the city is
made for tho bed Of this stream. and
neither CoWdon nor any other known
idiot can bring the Yazoo along the
river front without excavating a chan
mel for it. for il it be turned here in

In pottery factory here there is a

he loved that boy so much. Still he
went on patiently loving him. And
by and by he moved that whole shop
into positively real but unconscious
fellowship with him. The workmen
made curious little jars and cups upon
their wheels and painted diminutive
pictures down their sides before
they stuck them in the corners Of the
kiln at burning time. One
brought some fruit in the bulge of
his apron, and another engraving in a
rude scrapbook. Not one Of them
whispered a word, for this solemn
thing was not TO be talked about
They put them in the old mans hat,
where he found them, so he understood
all about it; and, believe it or not,

now some did a piece Of work

when the bell tolled and the little
coffin came out Of the lowly door,

stood 100 stalwart workmen from the
