souri Republican,
We presume the above statement is
truc-that the Court has voted the
bridge nuisance, and ordered its re-
moval, and all that, but if we live long
enough to see that bridge removed, we
expect to arrive at good old age. The
case will probably be taken, on appeal
to tho United States Supreme Court
which will take some time, and VIII,
after that, take some other turn, which
will not disturb the bridge, materially,
though it may trouble the pockets OF the
litigants. 1t is matter i'll which
Davenport and her twin sister have
nothing more to do or say than if stu
ated q thousand miles away from here.
Nor is the fight al individual matter !;
it is simply between Chicago and St.
Louis, and nobody else. There arc
many-we uay say thousands Of people
in Davenport and Rock Island who
curse the bridge, and have decided it a
nuisance thousand times, and honest
ly, too; and there are many who enter,
tain as strenuously. contrary, opinions
but they are out Of the ring-not con
sidered. It's Chicago fighting with St
Louisiana yice rersa. We are inclined
to the belief that both sides will gain
the victory several times. St. Louis will
get decisions against the bridge, and
Chicago will keep up the bridge the
while, by some hook or crook that We
don't know of. Let the war 60 on; il
is none of our fight any way. We car
do no more than to bet on the winner

The gallant Democracy arc up and
coming-wide awake and no mistake.
They feel, and truly too, that the eyes of
the entire country are bent upon them
and that they are expected to stand by
their colors until the enemy is complete
ly vanquished. Her ablest men are
thoroughly canvassing every portion OF
the State, and never have Democratic
meetings been more enthusiastically at
tended-nor are their efforts unaided by
Democratic friends in other States
Able speakers from New York and 9th.
er adjacent States are in the field early
and late addressing the people, encoura.
cling the ranks and leading the Democ-
racy Of that noble State on to glorious
victory. 1t is regarded as almost GER
tain that Seymour, the noble Democratic
nominee for Governor, will be elected
by large majority. The Opposition,
fearing the result, have engaged Abe
Lincoln, OF Illinois, to blow for them,
and endeavor to check the onward and
irrepressible march of the Democracy.
The sober second thought of the peo-
pie, which is ever the most effective, is
plainly observable in Connecticut.
They have no further disposition to be
carried away BY the novelties and in.
genious theorizings Of their Higher
Law neighbors of Aboitionized Massa.
ehusetts, but are rapidly becoming more
conservative and moro loyal to the Con-
stitution and the Union. TIE conser-
vative leaven, which though at times has
been almost wiped out, has still remained
with the people, aud its workings are
now visible through the entire loaf. A
very few days now and Black Republi-
canism in Connecticut will be compclled
to fold its black flag forever in that
noble State.

The new Ms. Bible discovered 10y
Prof .Tischendrog in the library Of the
mo nastcry OF Mount Sinai, Is about to
be printed in St. Petersburg, with
great magniicence, under his care and
at the cost of the Imperial Government.
A letter adds:
Prot. Tischcndrof finds strong reasons
for liking its date in the first hall OF the
fourth century aud he says that rs "
means of determining the text OF the
sacred writings, especially those OF the
Apostles. it is far more important than
even the Ms. of the Vatican. The age
of the new MS. has already been the
subject of lively controversy, concert.
ed attack having been made upon Prot.
Tischcudrof's deductions by number
of st. Petersburg Academicians. Ills
replies were, however, SO satisfactory
that bis opponents have become con-
yer,s to his belief.
This Ms. 10 the oldest Ms. OF the BIZ
tlc which has been presented in the
Christian world. 1t is far older than
any other except the Vatican MS, to
which it is superior in age and in com
pletenc:s for the MS. OF the Vatican
lacks five books entirely and one in part
Its authority is also confirmed by the
quotations of the early Fathers, which
| agree with it more nearly than with any
other MS.
Prof. Tischendrof has already filed
ten folio volumes with Bible documents,
and NAV be presumed to know as much
| about the correct version OF the Bible
as anybody. His seventh edition ofthe
New Testament is the standard. lie
will illustrate this edition with philo-
sophie iac-similcs; and while he is sure
that the original MS. will, as soon as it
becomes known, be esteemed through
gu, Christendom as great national
treasure for Russia, he hopes to make
the editio princeps of it 4 worthy monu-
ment of Imperial munihcence, and one
which the whole Christian world shall
receive with grateful thanks.

HIGH PRICES IN CHARLESTON MAR
KET.-Thc high price Of meat at the
present time is causing much dissatisfac-
ton among our citizens. So general is
the complaint, many are led to inquire
into the. causes, and to ask whether
there is no remedy. On Monday morn
ing large number Of the beef stalls in
the market were altogether barren OF
meat. Prices of first quality beef
ranged from twenty to twenty-five cents
per pound. On inquiry we learned that
the arrivals Of beef cattle for the past
few weeks have been unusually slow and
few in number. Drovers are demand
ing high prices, and holding back their
cattle. Some Of our butchers have been
compelled to buy mich cows wherever
they could be picked up in the city. The
supply Of veal and mutton is very light.
For choice pieces of the former, as high
as thirty cents per pound was paid
on Monday morning. The price Of
poultry has also risen very high; tur-
keys, from four to six dollars per pair !;
geese, two dollars to two ana hall, and
fowls one dollar aud a quarter to one
and half. Vegetables have also fcl,
the stimulus. Northern cabbagcs sold
on Saturday and Monday at twenty-five
cents for small aud thrty-sevcn cent. foI
large heads.
