Ta the L:ditor 0f The Tribune, Monnis, 1L, Feb, 6.—The subject of tho ene Jarwewent of the Tiuols & Michizan Canal bus heon agitating the citlzens, from Chlesgo to Peorin; but there fsa deeper interest taken fn the matter by the people than appears upon the surface, 1018 a fuct that evor siucs the water from the Chicago River was et down into the Hlinols River, Uie atench ligs been almost unen- durable. People bave been unwilling to say much publicly sbout it .fur many ruasons, but mainly becauso they thought it would bave a tendency to infure thelr property and fnterfere with their Lusiness, sud also because they be- loved thut after the water had been running for a year, Cticagzo River would ba a0 washed out thut the secumulated filth would be washed away, undd then the water from the Jake would bo clear; another reason s, that the people have been ot o 1048 to know what good it would do to complaing but the niilsance has necome so futolerabio that furbearance has ceused to be virtue. The stench (s greater now . that it was the Hrst year atter the water wos et down, so that instead of belng better, it 1s worse. Betore tho Chlesgo Blver emptied fnto the Hiots River, the Difnots. River was tull of choice flshi; lunnediutely thereafter, the fish aled to such un extent that at the nills at Mar- sellies they were oblized to Keep wagons and men with pitehlorks 10 remova the thousands of deud tish whict sccumuluted at the bars of the slujcewnys P“ such quantities as to prevent the water combiz through. ‘Fhe fish all aloms the river have been 60 poisoned that they bave msde many slek who have eaten theni, But the reatest trouble is the stench which constantly arfses trom the river, It can ouly be eomparet I strenigth with the rmnlurlni; catabllsiinents niear Culcago; and it I8 ot only 80 stroug sy to by unendurable ut Lockport, Joliot, Slorrls, Seuccyy Murseilles, und Ottawa, but i3 percepti- ble even as fur down ns Ilenry. Ar..-mm who had not Investizated it would not believe it pos- sible thut so small g canal cowtd pour un amount of stench futou body of water us larze as the 1iinols Jtiver, which would toso ¢reat s extent palson the countryen both sides, but it 1s so repulsive that on approachlog the river on elther side a person will fuvotuntarily hold bis nose. Fhie question 18 now Leiug serously ugitated, Whut right hus Chicugo to pour its fith down into wiat wus betoru w sweet wnd cloun niver, pollute its watery, sud waterlally reduce the valuo of property on butl sides of the river and vanul, wind bring sickuess aud death 1o the citl- zunet We leurn from the Chicago pavers thut citizens of Chleago think thut” the rendering utabllabments, even i1 shuated fu other towus, by the steneh that they creats, bevuine nulvatces aud should Le abated; and wo notico that sulty are Lrouklit W secover damuges for such uule sduces. Now, the guestion uvaturally erlscs, wucther the olfactory nerves ol thoee living out of Chlcugo arv not just us scuiitive, uud their hyes just as precious, us cltizens of that big clty. {u connection with this it Is urced that, by widculug thy \-.ma.l 100 fees and devpeuiuy ib two feet, the Glth frous Chleazo will becuwe 4o diluted that {t will not be olfeusive ta the peo- plevn e Llue of the vatali wad ey wey lus dreed to 8 o satlon for receiving Chicazo's ith, they will have a ship canal two fect deeper than the present canals bitt the question naturatly arises, whetlier a canal two feet deeper than the present canal will Le n ship eanal, or of any greater benefly than the present canal. 8o far aa the transportation of eraln i con- cerned, the present canal can o 160 times the business that 1t does; and_ unless the proposed chip-canal Is dug deep and wife enough to ad. mitof the passare of yessela from the lnkes down the canal, without breaking bulk, anid cf sllowing vessels toload in the canal and pass to Bulfalo without trawsferrine at Chicazo. it would be of no grester benefit than the present canal, Wil Chiicago allow n panuine ship-canal to be bullt which would admit of lumber pass- ing frotn Michizan down ihe canal, and @ran from the caval Into the lakes, without ' pa; it fribute Dy being unloadéd in Chicugol It 18 feared that the result of an enlargzement of the canal 100 feet wider and two feet deeper would be only to glwv A greater gewerage, snd carry more of Chichgo's hith (nto the tiver, t fa well known that at Joliet the canal ends unon one slde of the Des Plalues River, und commences again on the opposite sfde; awd the rame at Chanalion where it crosses the Du Page, #0 that nearly the whole of the water of the canalat Jolict passes futa the river, and the same at Chanahon. ‘The result ts that little, §f any, of the water from the Chicago River ever goes thto the canal below Chanatun and all of the flith from Clicazo which gocs down the caual mingles with the waters of the Des Plaines, Dt Page, froquiors, and Kankakee, which upite to form the Hlnoir: and from the headwaters of the Ilinots,—nine miles cast of Morris,— down {he river, the sowerazo from Chicago Inixes with ten times the voluma of the canal,— that Iey it [s diluted nt least ten times when it reachies the llinols River; nod yet from the headwaters of the 1linois, for at least thirty miles down, the stench arfsing from the Iftinois Kiver causcd Ly this deposit is unendurable, Therefure, it 1s conclusive that the anly effect of enlarging the canal, a8 far as this nulsance s concerned, wonld ve to make it worse,~it would bring only so much more fith down than uow fi;""w! by the additional width and depth of the ver, It 1 probiahle that, if the canal should be wid- e deepened, nul constantly kept open, and no dams or locks to lmpede Its progress, 8o that the watercould rasn with increased veluelty down the river, it might Lelp the matter to some extent} hut we arg informed by one of the most experf- eneed canal men that the fall fn the canal from Chicazo to Lockport Is go slight that if every im- prdiment at the end of the canal ot Lockport und Jollet be removed it would not lncrease pereectioly the flow from Chicago, Buwe writer recent!y tn Tur Trisuxs, over the slgmeture ol “Bampson,’ suggested that the tronble arose in the gatos belne sbut ot pockport aud Jollet, Keeping the water backs tiut 17 the statement above be correct it would uot better the matter fu the Irast, 11 the gates were open constantly 1t at nny rate would not helo the matter from Joliet down, “Uhere I8 a serfous uhjection to Increasing the flow of the water in the canal, as it would cause an entire ghandonment ol the canal as o ineans of transpurting grain to Chicago. It Is well known that now it takes twice the team to Laul u canalboat from Joltet to Chicagu that it did befora the deep cut was made; and we thinkit will not be disputed that a current sullicien] strony fn the canal to be of suy benellt to Chi- engo would rutu the canal for boating, Lecsuse no teams could pudl canalboats against sucha current, ‘This certaluly 18 n very serlous matter, and worthy of the consideration of the pood cit- zens of Chicago., Somethlug must be done.

Comtnittees have been appointed from the vari- ous cities on the Hue of the canal and _river to visit Springflgld for the purpose of lobbying the members futo effecting the proposed chunge of the canal into a shlp canal; but we think that If any ong will stop to serfously consider the ntatter they will be satlsfied that the caval pruvosed, thatis only two feet deeper nnd 103 toet wider, wiil be no ship cannl at all, and it will n no resuect bs_better than the present canal, and that §6 will not In ooy way to ouy de- wree telleve the present Intolerable nulsanee, for the reasons previously given, E. 8. ———— CASUALTIES.
