The State PRINTING,

We see that bill has been reported
in the Senate proposing for the election
ola Superintendent of State Printing, and
to repeal the law giving it to the lowest
bidder. This move is undoubtedly de-
signed to enrich some favorite party prin-
ter at the expense of the Treasury, and
we hope the Senate, majority of whom
are Wings, viii Immediately give it the
go-by.
For three years past, under the present
law, the State Printing has been done by
the lowest bidders, T. FEM & Co. and i,
notwithstanding the greatly increased a
mount of work, has cost the State but
trife over $4,000 per annum-whereas,
but 4 few years ago, under the old law,
when all printers could combine for di-
vision Of the spoils, it cost over 100000
600 a year! By the present law, accor-
ding to the Telegraph, more than half a
million dollars have already been saved
to the State; and it is scarcely credible
that our legislators can be so unwise as
to return to the old depicting system. If
the same principle were adopted with re-
gard to ali the public work, nearly mil
lion year would be saved, But it is lot
TO be expected that those who have long
fed and fattened at the public crib will
be content to be kept upon short allow
ance, or to enter into fair competition with
honest industry Hence the determined
opposition to the "Lowest bidder" system.
The drOnes never reiinquish their claim
to the hive without a desperate struggle !;

Great Flood in the Susauellanna


Bridges earned oacay. Dcstraction
Of Property.
HARRISBURG, Feb. 10-The food in
the Susquehanna, which did SO much
damage here, proves, as was feared, to
have been much more destructive higher
up the river. The waters have been so
high that no communication could be
had with the region that has suffered
most, and the telegraph being carried a
way also, the following account, obtained
from the first passenger who has been a.
BILE to reach this place from Sunbury,
gives the first particulars of the food.
The rains that fell in the latter part of
last week caused rise in both the North
and West Branches, as we'll as in all their
tributaries. 1t commenced on Saturday,
and rose with unprecedented rapidity,
until both rivers were running furiously,
and the main river was swollen immense
ly. Pine, Lycoming, and Loyalsock
creeks were higher than ever Known
The West Branch, however, was not so
high as it was two years ago. Fortunate
ly Sunday night being very cold, the food
was checked, or the damage might have
been much more extensive. The partic-
ulars of the damage, as far as known, are
as follows:
The bridges on the WilIiamsport and
Elmira railroad are swept away. They
were old, and to be rebuilt at any rate.
The road bridge over the Susquchanna
at jersey Shore was swept away. One
half Of it lodged about four miles above
WilliamSport and the other was carried
against the bridge at Williamsport, which
was knocked some eight feet out of line
on the western span. That it was not
carried away is miracle, and its ability
to resist the shock and the continued
food does great credit to Mr.. FAIRIES, the
builder.
The Pine Creek aqueduct was also
carried away and lodged against the
WiIliamsport bridge. 1t was a new struc-
ture, only two spans being up. Mr.. Kel-
ton, the supervisor, is confident that it
can be rebuilt in time for the opening Of
navigation.
The bridge across the Shamokin, below
Sunbury, was carried away, and foatcd
down to Duncan's Island. Another bridge
across the Shamokin, on the road from
Sunbury to Pottsyille, was. also carried
away.
The new State docks in the canal at
Northumberland were entirely inundated, =,
but it was believed they were not much
damaged. The canal banks had to be
broken in various places to let the water
run off into the river
Ia Williamsport the cellars in the low
er part of the town were filled with wa
ter, but no material damage was done
No houses were swept away, and no lives
lost, as far as heard from. The people
were waiting with much anxiety for ac-
counts from above, but the roads being
flooded, there bad been no communca-
ton. From Saturday until Tuesday no
stages had arrived at either Northum5er-
land or Wiliiamsport.
Many logs were carried away by the
food, but most of them will be recovered.
There was fortunately, no ice in the river,
or the destruction would have been much
greater.
