The supper.


There was an immense crowd w Wednesday eve
ming at the Supper at Ebenezer Church, notwith-
standing the very muddy condition of the streets
and sidewalks. We think there was at least 500
persons present And they enjoyed themselves.
The young and the old, the grave and the gay,
each in their way, passed and enjoyed the eve
ming. Torrey's Band discoursed very excellent
music, and gay throng of ladies and gentleman
promenaded through the Church until Supper
was served. -
ofcourse "the Supper" was the affair OF the
evening. The tables were four in number and
we're set for two hundred and sixty. We got
view of them before they were attacked by the
crowd, and can really say that we never have
seen Supper set in better style or looking more
attractive. There was an abundance Of the sub.
stantials, and aftet>ehe tables had been twice
filed were still well loaded with fine cakes fruits
and all the ct ceteras.

Bridge at st. Louis.

An intelligent gentleman of this city, who has
apparently a very thorough understanding of
the subject, writes us q communication on the
subject Of the proposed bridge at St. Louis, the
project for which was recently foreshadowed in
the Missouri Republican. Unfortunately he is
accustomed to writing German but does not
write the English language as he would like to
appear in print. We are therefore compelled
to give the substance Of his communication
The writer in the Republican proposes the
construction Of wire suspension bridge 1900
feet span. This will be the most stupendous
structure in the world. The longest span now
in use being that Of the suspension bridge at
Wheeling, 1910 feet. The cables Of this pro-
posed bridge are to be l5 inches in diameter
or contain l2O cubic inches solid measure
Our correspondent arrives at the following con-
clusions: ts@s
Cables Of this size and length with proper
security, according to Weissbach, good author.
ity, will sustain 1900 tons and will break with
weight Of 5000 tons. The assertion that they
will sustain a weight of 10000 tons, made by
the Republican, is not true. 4.e,-s''
The dimensions of the towers, as given by
the Republican, win not sustain the weight of
cables and lateral motion Of bridge Our cor
respondent says that the weight of this stupen-
dous bridge equally distributed over space Of
81 feet square, (size of towers,) would be equal
to q pressure of 2Sl lbs to each square inch,
which would grind the soldest building stone to
| atoms. S
The weight of cables will produce a bow in
the bridge, according to the best authors, equal
to 66 inches, while the expansion and contrac-
ton Of iron by change of temperature will be
equal to 46; inches.
Both of these, combined with the lateral mo.
ton, produced by high winds, are the most Sc
rieus and fatal objects to this plan Of bridge
No towers can ever be built to resist 1t.
Let it be borne in mind that opposite st.
Louis the river ia ouly 1880 feet broad. That
| through this narrow channel are poured the &C.
| cumulating waters of the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers. When it is narrowed down to
| 1900 feet for this span there will be current OF
great force and depth, which will not only
render navigation somewhat difficult and dan
gerous, but which will be apt to render it diff
cult to make these towers stand. ..g

INTERESTING DECISION IN A SLAVE CAsE.-The
opinion Of tho Supreme Court was this morning
given upon a case which involves a very important
principle, of which we can only give bare outline
A slave, named Poindexter, was owned by man
named Anderson, living in Kentucky, near the
Ohio River. Pondexter was trusty and of much
value. His master frequently sent him across the
river into Ohio to transact business for him, and
to do errands. He agreed to give Poindexter his
freedom for the sum of $500. Pondexter execut-
ed notes with sufficient sureies for the payment of
the money. He went to work in this State and in
Kentucky to raise the money by the labor of his
hands. When one Of the notes became due, pay
ment was refused, and the owner Anderson brought
suits in the Ohio Courts to of the sureties
The suit was contested on the ground that Poin-
dexter was already free before the notes were Civ
en-, by having been brought or sent into Ohio by
his master, aud therefore there was no considera-
ton given for the notes. This is the chief point in
the case 50 far as principle is involved. But there
are several other points Of interest. Our Supreme
Court decide that this position is well taken, and
that the bringing sending slave into this State
makes him free. To this point Judge BARLEY dis
sents, the other Judges agree upon it. This, it
will be seen, conflicts with the bred Scott law Of
the United States Court, as recently expounded by
Judge fancy, but it is good law, nevertheless, and
will stand as such in the State Of Ohio. Her soil
is free SOIL and Shareholders can neither bring nor
send their slaves within our limits and hold them
again as property.-OhiO Stale Journal, May 8.
