Hawkins COM naenced below, and it must
be admitted that if strength of lungs was
the test, MI. Gray was badly beaten. Bot
here all rivalry setwecn the two ended -
Mr.. Gray made a strong, manly, earnest
and interesting speech, which was listened
to with interest and delight Col Hawk

to b. so utterly unworthy Of notice other

It seems that ths old Ferry Company,
after having failed through various mis-
haps 70 supply the neans Of erossing the
river this winter. are now disposed 70 M
tsrfcre to Brighten Of other parties who
have provided boat and are now run
ming Ferry to the great delsctasion Of .
hitherto suffering public.
We know not what may be the legal
rights and remedies in the premises be.
tween the old company and the new, nor
do we desire to intervene in the law suit.
But we do know that common justice and
common sense will guarantee the right
of the public 70 get over the mississippi
river in some manner, and that if one
party fails for months for good or bad
reasons to furnish the facilities for accom-
plishing the matter, tAst another party
who volunteers to provide them win not
b. mnlcted in very heavy damages in this
free country for doing so.
So far rs the issue at law is concerned,
it should be deferred md held in abey-
ance At least till the party who appeals to
it is ready to furnish the public with the
usual facilities and accommodations of q
Ferry.
We trust, therefore, that the following
notice is only intended to save any wsiv-
er Of rights to be exercised in the future !:
