POLITICAL.

MISSEsoTA.-The attempt Of the bogus Democrats
in the Minnesota Legislature 20 force election OF
United States Senator IN the place OF Gen. Shields, al
this session was defes.ed in the lower House on Tues
day of last week. Gen. Sheldss term does not expire
till yesr from the Alb of next March, and the only
motive the Democrats have TO elect his successor
is the very Reasonable fear that the Republicans
will have majority in the next Legislature and thus
send to the Federal Senate good Republican.
ILLisoTs.-The Hon. Elihu B. Ws,hburne has been
nominated fer reelection to Congress by the Republ-
cans Of the Ist Galens District receiving on the first
regular ballot Of the Nominating Convention 5s votes
10 80 for Mr.. Ferry. The Douglas Democrats of the
With. Egyptian have nominated James c. Robinson
Aaron Shaw the present nber, was n,t candidate
for reelection The Republican candidate is Mr.. X. j.
Oglesby, and p b. Shepard is the candidate of the
Administration.
OHro-The Republicans of the Iyth Congressional
Dstrict have nominated the Hon. NJ. II. Nichols for
reelection.

4 SUPERIOR RAILROAD BRIDGE.
THE NORTHERN CENTRAL CROSSING OF
THE SUSQUEHANNA.

THE NORTHERN CENTRAL CROSSING OF
THE SUSQUEHANNA.
creditsbs work has been done by the Northern
Central Railway Company, in the construction of q
railroad bridge the Susquehanns River at Dsu
phin nine miles above Harrisburg. The bridge was
opened for traffic on the 3st March last. We have
the following interesting particulars Of the character
dimensions, snd mode Of lis construction which would
indicate that it is of the most superior and exteu-
sive structures of its kind and class in the country:
The total length of the bridge is Sii feet divided
into nineteen spans-seventeep spans of 20 feet each
Of ll2l feet, and one of l53 feet. Tue hight of
the truss is 30 feet width of bridge from out to out
2ll feet. Total quantity Of timber, 232l s0i feet
board measure of which sol, go feet are white pine
and $50 0S4 white oak the total number Of pieces OF
timber in the structure is 1881; total lnss feet OF
timber 3l6 20i equal 10 about sixty miles in length
Total quantity of iron n $50 l64 10 Of which 2l 72
10 are wrought ard IA Sg2 10 are cast rou; total
number of pieces of iron is 81 s3 OF which 30 80 are
wrought iron and 81 OIL cast iron. The nesl feet OF
wrought iron rods and bolts are So S equal to sixteen
and half miles.
% The bridge is after the plan of McCalum's in-
flexible sIcbed truss The track runs nine fee, above
the lower chord. The structure was commenced on
the 2Sth day Of March, 1857 snd was completed on
the 3ls day March, 1858, having been but $40 days
or so working days, in process of construction. Il
sros cn msssiye piers OF masonry, directly over the
falls the Susque5snna which rendered the process
Of raising of unusual difficulty and hsz .rd esps.
cisly as l,rge portion of the raising was done in
Winter. The contrac. wss executed by McCalum
Seymour Hswley, bridge builders New-York the
work proceeding under the aus spices of A. Il. Wsford
Chief Engineer Of the Company, and z. 2. Dickinson,
ergineer IN charge, under whose inmsdiste su.
pervision tns work done. From the beginning The
work was conducted With energy and skill by al par.
hes engaged and considering the SESSION OF the wear
through which it was driven, It has been attended with
far share Of good fortune.
This bridge illustrates the advantage resulting 70
railroad companies from the adoption OF tle most ap
proved form Of structures on their roads On other
er gthy railroad bridges built of timber the trsins ara
compelled generally 10 run a. the sloUest rate of
speed, snd men are often 10 be seen upon thsm an
