The revelations IRON Rhode Island
would seem to indicate that that State is
the most venal Of any in the Union. The
late election is alleged TO have been
carried by the most shameful bribery
The Providence Journal, after sta&ng
that one nan spent $4,000 for election
purposes, goes on as follows:
In another town, where the contest Is
always close, n man who is an applicant
for an appointment under the Govern
ment bought a vote for $25 and as
neither he nor the venal wretch who
took his money would 'rus, the other
they were pretty well acqLain,ed-each
took hold OF The five dollar bills by one
end, and so marched to the balot-box,
and when the voter dropped in the
envelopes the purchaser lie, 60 his hold
OF the money. This was a shameless
case, aud was done in open town meet
ing, in presence OF the voters on both
sides. Can il he possible that they
have no laws in Rhode Island 10 punish

%We suggest TO the proprietors Of
the Long Wharf the expediency Of
building a shed over the entire head Of
the wharf. It's very unpleasant, for
passengers, especially ladies and child
rem, to lund from the steamboats, in
stormy weather and in the night TO be
exposed TO the fury OF the one and the
chi,liness Of the other. And then
again, there 10 no protection to baggage
which is often much injured. The en-
IRE head OF the wharf should be cover
ed by shed sufficiently high TO allow
the carriages TO drive under and take
regular stands then passengers could
step from the boat directly to the car
riages, without suffering from the wet
or cold. l, would also be great pro.
tecti to the attentive drivers who Of
ten have 10 remain on tho wharf for an
hour or more, to say nothing Of the poor
horses. Itis very bleak spot in stormy
weather, and is uncomfortable enough
at any time, while landing in the night;
but il our suggestion is carried out, il
will be a very material relief. We
trust that the gentlemen who own the
wharf will take immediate steps to ac
cOmplish so desirable an improvement,
for i can be done at comparatively
small expence,-and the receipts for
wharfage from the steamboat compa-
MES alone form no inconsiderable
amount.

is his successful method Of securing the
adhesion Of plates without the clasps,
which are found so injurious to the other
