NoMINATION OF JOSEPH n. CHAND-
LER.


LER.
The PennsyIUdnian thus speaks Of the nomi-
nation of this distinguished Wing:
"The feeling Of dissatisfaction and disappro-
val with which a large portion of the high
minded and honest wing Of the Wing party and
our citizens generally witnessed the overslaugh-
ing of Hon. Joseph r. Chandler in the Know
nothing-ridden convention of the second con-
gressional district, has at length found a tangi-
BILE expression in his denomination by an indie
pendent Wing convention, which has had the
manliness to set at defiance the starchamber
DEGREES of the Know-nothing conspirators,
whose unmerited success so far has inspired
them with the vain hope that the entire desti-
MES Of this city and State will be intrusted to
their control, and that all men who are not
base and bigoted enough to participate in their
unhallowed rites, or weak enough to be their
tools and instruments, or so unfortunate as to
fall under the ban Of their tyrannical and un-
constitutional rules Of prescription are doomed
to political destruction.
This new movement is at least one step in
the right direction by our Wing friends. Bound
and enthralled as that party has become by
Know-nothing letters, it is cheering sign to
note that not all its limbs rests quiet under the
degrading bondage and it is alike creditable
to the hearts and the heads Of the independent
Wings, that the demon of intolerance demanded
a victim SO illustrious and SO justly endeared
to them as Mr.. Chandler, they have had the
nerve to say, Satan get thee behind me- We
are strongly INCLINED to think that Mr.. Tyson
will be obliged to return from the tree-tops in
which he has ensconced himself, and minge
once more with the hum-drum affairs Of every
day life, if he wishes to derive any profit or ad-
vantage from the nomination which he has re-
ceived from the supple instruments OF the
Know-nothingsn

The Cars, due at fifteen minutes to six o'clock
yesterday morning, did not arrive at the railroad
station until after eight therefore, the connection
with the southern line was lost. The delay was
owing TO deficiency of water in the locomotive,
and the consequent exhaustion of steam, which
occasioned a siand-still of the cars, until they
could be pushed forward TO watering place by
the next freight train.

Examination of the Bridges.-In accordance
with the Instructions the mayor ofWasbington,
the city councils having adopted joint resolution
authorizing him to appoint a competent practical
engineer for The purpose, Mr.. William M. Ellis,
The gentleman selected, has examined the iron
bridges across the canal, on Maryland avenue,

"AIl Of the brids es, /" he says care defective in
their construction In the proportion, Distribution
aud forms Of the material with which they are
constructed they are subject 10 unequal expan-
sion and contraction, without any means OF adj
justment or relief and 10 lateral vibration. To
the latter cause is TO be attributed the breakage Of
fourteen Of the diagonal braces OF the cast-ron
upnghts which connect the upper and lower
chords on the Maryland avenue bridge, and also
the breakage Of several Of the uprights on the
Twelfth street bridge, which have beea temporal
rily secured by wrought iron bands and braces.
All Of the bridges, with the exception Of that on
MARYLAND avenue, have settled considerably in
the centres Of the arches how much so am un
able 10 determine in each case, not knowing the
rise originally given TO these arches The fact Of
the settling, however is evident from the diagonal

Mr.. Ellis sets forth the manner in which this

Guilty at San Rafael, TO which we referred in our

aspect, and our wost fears Of riot and bloodshed
have been but little short Of realization. As be-
fore stated, some persons have squatted upon the
Mission grounds, and the news smote so heavily
upon the Catholics Of this city, that the steamer
Reindeer had been chartered TO carry over large
number of their Irish brethren TO defend the pre-.
misses against the squatters. IL will be seen from

ment prevailed throughout the entire county, and
