The Rock Island II idgc. .pil0ts>.T Rival
lnte. ests..Cause Of tAe Complaints.
We published few days since the
minority protest Of part OF the Grand
Jury Of the Z. S. District Court for the
Southern Division of Iowa against tie
bill pre-, e,ted by majority of the Jury
declaring the Rock Island Bridge a nui.
sance. 1t appears that a systematic OPP
position Oh the part of steamboat men,
captains, pilots, aud Of some other par
ties not directly connected with steam
boat nsvi-a,'o', has been culti,a e |! fr
several years, aud the opposition to the
bridge has assumed such al organized
form us 10 show the motives and nbj
of those engaged 10 manufacturing pub
lie opinion against the priuciple OF bridy

or that while many of the pilots are
honest in their belief that tn" bridge is .
greater obstruction to navigation than it
has actually proved to be, there are other
pilots and some steamboa. captains whose
sntare&t it has become to cry down the

bridging the river at any p, lint b. low The
head Of steamboat navig ,tion. Some Of the
accidents atthebtidge h;v b en- caused ~
drunken or inefficient pilots. and resulted
from ignorance or gross carelessness.
Some of the more skill ul pilots have

1t Is generally conceded That Grand
Jury referred 10 bad no jurisdiction Of
the subject matte o ii cir bin, und it j.
very probable that some undue intiu, nee
WIS brought to bear Oh the mnJor',y Of
the Jurors. The first opposition to the
bridge originated. We believe at st. Lon
! is, with those merchants whose foresight
enabled them TO -cever that the great
, er e facilities afforded b. such bridges
! for the transdnrta:ion for fr,i .ht from
ives, of the river, eastward. the tnore

/ Subsequently those interested in the
commerce of the 1--we, Nis.i..inni a,

and strong resistance TO the bridge that
