A BRIDGE OVER THE OHIO RIVER.

The Wheeling Times Of the 10Th ultimo has an
editorial upon the subject of building bridge over
the Ohio river at Wheeling and states that The sub
ject is one in which the United States are especially
interested and that the members Of Congress from the
West should urge that body the necessity Of max
ing an appropriation for the purpose. The stoppage
Of the mails at Wheeling, from the running ice in the
winter and the detention Of travellers passing East
and West by tho National Road would be prevented
by bridge The editor to the obstruction to the
river and the duty of Congress to build the bridge
thus states:
The Hon Charles Fenton Mercer chairman Of the
Committee on Roads and Canals, in 1886, thus
states
The report expresses the confidence Of the Com
mllee in The fact that Congress bound by the
pact under which the National Road was begun 10

Of wire cables, Necessity for piers would exist
any other masonry than that required each end Of
the bridge. The length required would be but 100
feet as determined by the engineers who have sur
veyed il.
The cos, of this structure, as estimated by Mr. Ell
let, civil engineer of Virginia, would not exceed
hundred and thirty thousand dollars. Without re-
gard to the contract TO complete the National Road il
would doubtless expense 10 the United States
construct this bridge, and be very great accommo-
daiion to the whole people.

THE BANKRUPT LAW.


Of all the legislation of the General Gov
eminent during the las; forty years, except.
inc. perhaps, the forgiving Of the Land
Debt twenty odd years ago, the most benef-
cent in its direct operation upon individuals
is the act to establish Uniform system OF
Bankruptcy. The very odor Of it. if we
NAV be allowed the figure, has bade the
lame and halt to walk erect, and has made
whole the broken-hearted. 1t does not 90
into effect until February next, and yet IFS
blessed influence began 10 be felt from the
moment il became law. Ii has mt liter
allv opened the prison doors. but ii has car
ried the sense of freedom and a renewed
existence into the interior of thousands of
respectable families, that seemed, until the
light of that act beamed upon them, to be
doomed 10 hopeless and endless penury.
Who that has heart TO feel, but must re-
loice in the spectacle of so great happj-
ness, brought about by the moral influence
ola benign action, producing fruit in anti
cipation of its legal operation
This thought has been most agreeably
revived in our mind at the present moment
by the reception of the following letter. evil

and merit the chief criterion of appointments.

1t appears then that of the old thirteen
States, Rhode Island has not been honored
with single important appointment; and
that from the States of Maine, Vermont, India
ma, Missouri, Arkansas and Mississippi, mono
has been made, On the other hand, the four
old States of Massachusetts, Virginia, Mary
land, and New York have received more tha
half the whole.
1t is evident that the spirit of political am
bition has, either from example, precept or
opportunity, more prevailed in Massachusetts
and Virginia, than either of the States of the
