The Vicksburg Herald is apt to be
after somebody. Having to pound
away at Barksdale. it has now eonmen-
csda war on Captains feathers and Cow
don. In a not brief experience OF
newspaper writing we have not found
personal abuse and bulldozing profit
able. 1t conrinces nobody Of the truth,
however it may succeed in bringing some
who hold it into ridicule Right or
wrong, feathers and Cowdon act on the
observation and experience of forty
years, and know something of the sub
ject they treat. Aud only when it il
shown that the mighty river, can be CON
fined to one channel BY artificial means,
and to carry the waters of the vast
valley with the expenditure of thou.
sand millions will there be beginning
to hush all complaint of the plans of the
Mississippi river commission. There is
right way, and there is a wrong way.
And personal abuse of those who adyo-
cate either will harm only the author.Oi

IL speaking of the Railroad question
before the Senatorial Committee, Mr..
Medill, the editor of the Chicago Tri-
bune said "Some means should be
adopted for securing a uniformity Of
rates. Railroads should notbe permitted
to exercise the power of arbitrarily
changing the value of all the products
of the country. Both State and Federal
legislation should be employed to remedy
this evil. The capitalization of many
railroads is far in excess of the cost OF
construction of the roads, and they are
annually fleeing the people of the coun-

Noticing that several of our State
papers we're holding Maj. E. G. Wall
responsible for the failure of our State
TO make creditable exhibit at Louis
vile, and feeling confident that he had
given this matter the same earnest at
tention that have characterized him in
other efforts likely to advance the pros
perity of the State, We called on him to
plearn the facts.
He stated to Us that he was only re
quested to undertake the getting up o.
an exhibit three weeks before the open
ing of the Exposition; that he would not
have consented to send a special com
mission 20 Louisville without PROMISE
from prominent men in different parts
of the State that they would aid in the
effort TO make the State exhibit a sue
cess, and pledging themselves and their
counties or sections for liberal contribu,
tions. He showed US numbers of let
tiers to this effect from Washington
Monroe, Harrison, Adams and othel
counties. Any statement to the effec
that he failed TO furnish the proper in
formation to parties wishing to forward
specimens, is incorrect, as he was yer.
prompt and explicit in replying to al
inquiries. The real reason was that, il
consequence Of the drouth and Othe
hindering causes, the parties who mad
these promises failed to comply wit
them, feeling sure that their exhibit
would do them no special credit. A fe'
parties only complied with the expet
tations they had created with the Con
missioner.
If we wish to make an exhibit at Ne
Orleans next year, let US begin at onc'
or very soon, so as to be in time. Ii

commensurate with the undertaking
