The Platt organs in Syracuse continue their war

Congressman Ray Of New-York was made chair
man of the Committee on Mississippi Levees. This
appointment is considered queer" by THE Buffalo
Express" which asks: What can a man who lives
ct The headwaters Of the Susquehanna be supposed

But possibly all this merely coincidence,
though why Missouri should have seven places and
