Dcs EToimcs Valley Plank Road.

We learn from gentleman up from
Keokuk, that the citizens of that place
have subscribed $4,000 for The purpose
of building Plank Road tosSugar creek
by way of Charleston, distance Of &c
miles. And iris expected that sufficient
stock viii be taken along the route to
complete the &c miles. He also informs
US that an agent has been sent to. the
pineries TO contract for lumber to plank
the road with. The Company calculate
that. they can complete the road to
Charleston, distance of 10 miles from
Kcokuk, the present season. IT they
should accomplish so much, and we
hope they will, the teamsters up this way
land the travelling public generally, will
give them all the praise due for render
Jog good "muddy lane," which is deci-
dedly the wors. piece of road, in winter,
that we ever travelled over. az ...'
Ii is understood tha, when the road is
completed the first &c miles, if stock suf-
ficient is not taken, the road built will
be mortgaged for loan of money to
build it on to Birmingham or Libertyville
and connect with the Ouumwa and Lib
ertyviile road. -
This, indeed. '.looks like doing some
thing, and none will feel the advan-
tage of this laudable enterprise more
than the citizens of Keokuk. The adj
vancement of her business interests de-
mands that her citizens should put forth
their energies 10 forward works of u;ili-
ty which are practicable, and not waste
their time in talking about projects that
are inproctica5h. The trade of the
Des Moines Valley land the rival cities
on the Mississippi know that it is not
insignifcan,,) will go wherever the most
inducements are offered. Should Bur-
lington build better roads into the interi-
or, than Keokuk, and give the same pri-
ces for our products and sell us goods on
as liberal terms, then Of course our pho
ducts would 60 there, and they would
in return furnish US with goods.
But we felicitate ourselves upon our
happy position. Burlington will, in
time, throw out "feeler," in the shape
of Plank road--so will Keokuk, and
when we are "smitten on the left cheek
we will take ito the right as the law di-
rects,' and SO alternately, according to
the usage we meet with. -... e.. .s-....u
We entertain no Ill-will against either
of the above cities--and certainly are
not in the least jealous of them, for there
is room enough up this way for twice
as many towns as there are in the Valley
now. We hope that all our cities may
prosper and more especially those tina,
use their means in way to secure last
ing good. r.. H.-...... ......-..

3 New JERSEY SENAToR.-There is as
much trouble in the election of Sena-
tor in New Jersey as in some other
States. The Legislature is Locofoco,
and got into power mainly by an cutlery
against monopolies. The first thing
they did was 10 nominate, in caucus,
Mr.. Thompson, brother in-law OF
Commodore Stocton, and one of the
greatest monopolisls in the State. He
was put upon the track. but could not
get the full vote of his party. The
Wings put up VIM. l.. Dayton, the
present Senator. Thompson was then
abandoned, and Com. Stockton was NOM
mated. Last Saturday week, four bal
lots were had, without eliec,ing choice
Mr.. Stockton's highest vote being 80,
and Mr.. Dayton's 3S-necessary to a
choice 40. .'
On the 10Th, fifteen more ballots were
had, Com. Stockton receiving SO votes,
and Mr.. Dayton 34-thirty- mine neces-
sary to choice. sia.991a al 1922

The WHEELING BRIDGE.-A dispatch
to the Pittsburg Commercial Journal,
from Washington, of the 18th, says:
Chancellor Walworth, the Commits
sioner appointed by the supreme Court,
to take testimony and report upon the
Wheeling Bridge, has made his report,
which declares the bridge an obstruction
to the navigation of the river, and recon-
mends that it be raised twenty-eight feet
above the present elevation. The adop-
ton Of the recommendation of the Com
missioner would involve the destruction
of the present structure. Mr.. Totten.
U. States Engineer, by order of the U.
S. Supreme Court, has made drawing
and specification of the proposed height.

II We publish in to-day's paper

II We publish in to-day's paper a
card from Mr.. Anderson, Post Master
n. Eddyville, which nails our neighbors
"to the counter" and which, no doubt,
will teach them salutary lesson. 1t is
not the first, time that the Republic has
endeayored to injure a Post Master, be-
cause he was Wing, by publishing lies
about him-but if they are not los. 10
a sense Of honor, they will not be quite
so fierce, since they have second time
had the seal of fALsEHooD written upon
them.
The Fairfield Sentinel, too, takes up
the story and pirates good deal about
it. We hope the Republic and Sentinel
will publish the card of Mr.. Anderson
and also the certificate attached.
We are satisfied that tho editors Of
those papers believe in "future punish
ishments and rewards" and think if they
make great ado about the dishonesty
wing Post Masters, that they may get 10
be Post Masters themselves some time.
If Democratic President is elected
in SO, Jeems may stand some chance tc
to be appointed Post Master, that is, if he
amt nominated for County Judge! 10y
the way, he is great lover of that title,
and no other Locofoco wants it. 'Aaaa 1

instant: So
The House bill for the reduction Of
the rates OF postage has been made the
special order for next Monday, in the
Senate, through not without some oppo-
slllon. This is no indication that the

to the subject. | am ofthe opinion that
no satisfactory bill can be passed at this
session. Disagreements as to provisions
OF an essential character between the
two houses are probable, and it viii de.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.

The contracts for the Congressional
and other public printing, has been this
day partially disposed of. The speci-
fication is. in the order of five classes,
the last Of which has been obtained by
John G.. Rives, proprietor of the Globe
of this city, and at lower rate than
that from which Mr.. Richie, the late
contractor, memorialized to be relieved,
and in respect to which he now appeals
to Congress for indemnity.
The other four classes will revert eth
err TO Mr.. Gideon of this city, or Mr..
Bay Hamilton, Of Philadelphia, or to
both.

We trust, Gen. Van Antwerp will give
this subject his immediate attention.
We believe there will be little difficulty
in finding capitalists who will take the
job and receive their pay in lands. We
regard there is every inducement for
them 10 do so. The lands are all loca-
ted between the mouth of the river and
Fort Des Moines-rch in coil, well wa
tered and ,imbered, and in healthy cli-
mate. Surely at the low price of 81 25
per acre they must be regarded as secu-
ring 10 the purchaser from 20 TO loo per
cent upon his money, aside from the
profits Of the contract, which would not
be inconsiderable, doubtless, enough TO
reduce the actual cash cost to one dollar
per acre.
We know that we should not expect
too much from those charged with the
conduct of the work. And we are well
aware that we are very likely to do so.
We should keep in remembrance the
various difficulties under which our CON-
missioners have heretofore labored, and
still exist TO some extent, even under our
present law. And while we, as the con-
duc,or of a public journal urge these
considerations, and bring them 10 the at
tention Of the commissioners; we desire
that we may be understood by them as
no, doing it in spirit of dictation, or
even as volunteering our adpice; but by
way Of suggestion, and as using the pre-
roga,ive of journalist, and representa-
tive in that capacity, Of the citizens Of
our vicinity. 49,.
With both the commissioners, we are
well suited. Mr.. Gillespie, one of the
Board heretofore, has proved himself
both honest and capable, and has all up
and down the river been confidently look
ed TO "in the darkest hour as being
with US, heart and hand. We rejoice
that he is to be re-appoinied.
We said of the appointment Of Gen.
Van Antwerp las. week, tina. we regar-
ded ii an excellent one. And we now
say. to all our citizens, we have addi.
tional reasons for oelieveing better one
could not have been made. We defy
The wors. enemy Of Gen. Van Antwerp
to point out single failure on his part,
to fulfill, with strict fidelity, every pub
lie duty he has heretofore been called
upon to discharge. ~...'1. u 81.
We learn that Mr.. Van Antwerp will
be up the river in few days, jus. as
soon as he can qualify under his COM
mission, and we trust few months will
suffice TO satisfy all. of the error into
which may have fallen, in regard to his
sentiments upon the subject Of the i'm
provement, and prove the lalsily and in
justice of the baseless and inconsistent
rumors, tina, have represented him as
hostile to this great enterprise.
