MONUMENT TO CoUNT PULAsKI-It is With great
tors, and designers, TO the advertisement Offering
three hundred dollars for approved design for a
monument " Brigadier Count Pulaski. 1t the
intention of the original movers in this patriotic
work to erect two monuments in this city; one TO
Pulaski and the other to General reene One was
built in Johnson square (better known Monu
ment square) without any inscription it, and
has generally been called Pulaski monument
though it was intended for General Greene. The
second was not erected at the time for the want Of
the necessary funds.
We are glad to learn, however, that the commits
sloners OF the Greene and Pulaski Monument Lot
terry, by an arrangement during the past twelve
years with the extensive lottery contractors and
managers, J. w. Maury & Co., of Wsshn gton
city and by the accumulation of interest have sue
seeded in raising about $4,000. Seventeen thou
sand dollars OF this sum is to be appropriated to
monument to Count Pulaski, to be erected in Chip
pewa square, opposite the Athennum. The re-
malnder, with future accumulations, will be ap-
piled either to the improvement of the Greene
monument, in Johnson square, or to the erection
OF new one in its place. The corner stones
OF both these monuments laid-the one in
johnson and the other in Chippewa square on The
2lst Of March, 1875, by General Lafayette, who
was then on vsit to Savannah, assisted by the
Masonic Lodges Of the city.

NOVEL RAILROAD BalDor-The Philsd.lp hia

NOVEL RAILROAD BRIDeE.-The Philadsl phia
Ledger of Friday morning says:
" II was stated in the Sun of yesterday that a
road had been made over the ice in the Susquehan
ma, ut Havre de Grace, for the conveyance of the
baggage. mails, &c, and the passengers to and
from Philadelphia and Baltimore. We learn since
that the Railroad Company have successfully ao-
compshed the novel undertaking Of laying rail
road track upon the ice and that the cars pass d.
rectly across the river without any detention
This is the fret railroad construction upon such
foundation that has probably ever been made, and
the enterprise il exhibits the part of the compa
ny, for the accommodation Of the public, is an ad-
ditonnl reason which may be presented that
should secure for it the favor Of n grant from the
Legislature Of Maryland, which would supersedo
tho necessity OF overcoming difficulties of this
kind which the seasons interposc The surface
Of the ice over the river very uneven in ma a y
places, and required grading, which was accom-
plished by Filing in with snow, which formed soon
into a compact. level surface, on which the iron
rails were placed. The road will require some
watching to prevent the loss OF the rails by any
sudden breaking up Of the ice ON tho river by n
froshct."

MAKIso CLEAS BREASTS OF Ir.-Several of the
members of the sth Of January Convention took
advantage Of the excitement and turmoil of tho
occasion to cay things that had long ranked in
their bosoms and waited for utterance. For in
stance, Mr.. Palmer. Of the Northwest. asked who
OF Ohio's sons was prominent enough 10 be a can
didate for President besides VIM Allen? Some
body answered, "John Brough." MIR. Palmer sa d
that Mr.. Brough had left Ohio, and was now IA
citizen Of lndiana. and president of great corpo-
ration there. Some ssked, tcho starved him Out
and droes hin. from the State7 And a prominent

claimed, loudly and distinctly, "Allen aud has

We are not we'll enough posted in the intr CUES

to know whether this is all literally true or not.
One thing 10 eyident-Brough was decidedly the
abest Locotoco in Ohio, and by some cabal some
intrigue or other, he was ostracised, and driven
out OF the leadership Of the party There are yet
old sores on this subject, and the death Of Allen on
the Sth instant, may perhaps be the fret or eecond
instalment of that terrible rctribution which
Broughs friends have sworn 10 visit upon the heads

Gle the somewhat significant fact that the libe

dicates the preponderance Of Earl GREY in the

the management of the foreign policy of Britain

The statements of the Paris correspondent Of

bable foreign policy of LOUIS NAPOLEON are at
least plausible, and as such important. His de-
claIations of his intentions to maintain consitu-
tional liberty and pacific policy, are convent

cifc, neither France nor the world can expect
that they will be held to be obligatory upon
him.
