T When Dooiittle Is driven to the wall
for his Inconsistency and npostac5, he falls
back on the assertion that johnson has plant
ed himself upon the plan Of restoration which
AIr. lincoln determined upon, and be then
cites the cases Of Tennessee, Louisiana, and
Arkansss.'
But did Mr. Lincoln turn over the govern
1nent Of either Of tAoee States to the control
of rebels and the dialoyal. as johnson has
done with every State he has reconsuucleds ?
The most that can be s1id against Mr. Lin
coins experiment In Louisfaus and Arkansas,
IL, that while be dis1anch1sed all the rebels
he had not, up 10 the time of his assasslna-
Hon, enfranchiscd the loya1 blacks. Yet be
was full Of the intention Of doing SO. He
preferred to act through the provisional
State Governments, and had already written
to Governor Hahn, OF Louisiana, strongly
advising that those colored men who could
read or had fought for the Cnlon, should be
enitenchised. It was no psrt Of his Intention,
indeed he never would have consented TO
disiranchtsing The co1ored supporters Of the
onion, and at the same time enfranchising
the enemies Of the Government II ho had
not been murdered By Copperhead, It Is
quite certain that by this time the two classes
Of colosed men narned would be rotcra In
every Southern State-KentuckY possibly
excepted.

gas.A41end martini law and restore the civil

does not exist at the South, It would be In
tcresting to learn by what authority the Pres
ideut orders Major General Woods to forbid
Raphael Semmes from acting in The Office Of
Probate Judge at Mobile, to which the ardent
supporters Of the Presidents policy elected
him.
semmes has been convicted of no crime,
and under the Presidents reign he can be con-
ylcted Of none. Every man until convicted
of crime Is presumed to be innocent More
over. on the Presidents theory, the members
elect OF Congress from Alabama have
the same right to sit in Con
Ercss as the members from Illinois,
Why, then, hls not the President the same
right, upon his own theory, to forbid d Mayor
Of Chicago from entering upon his Office MS a
Probate Judge Of MobSlee
The truth is, the President has shown no
more regard for State laws, or the "1ights''
Of the so-called States which he has created,
than Congress would show II they abolished
lnsn~ altogether. Ills whim is their lnw- In

CO MAN.

The secesh concern Of this city copies In
full the speech Of Senator Cowan. Of Penn
sylyania, on reconstructiou, and in defence Of
the Jo1nson-C Coppcrhead policy. It calls the
harangue "the earnest, forclble, and eloquent
speech OF Republican Senator, defending
the policy Of Andrew johnson" The secesh
concern must place low estimate on the In
tellieeDce of Its readers when 1t calls Cowan
Republican, as ali the nation knows that
he long since ceased to act with the Republi-
can party. The late Republican State Con-
ycntion of Pennsylvania denounced him IS q
renegade and desertcr, and asked him By for
NAL resolution to resign an Office given him In
trust BY the Republican party, which he had
bssely betrayed. To call such an apostate q

A rERR1BtE CONFEDERATION.
The burning Of the Railroad Bridge
NJ 1kNbculn <y-A GEARhfc ne.eElp-

From The Milwaukee senttnelJ
KnuouRx Lr1T. wl.,, My ~. 1855.
The railroad bridge ut Eilbonrn City Was
destroyed by fire to-day at nearly hnt-past
one O'Clock ?. u. The fire commenced on the
top Of the south side, near the west end. OBJ
the engine which had crossed but moment
before the fire broke ont. Whatever account
NAV be given, that this Is correct one Is
conclusive, from the fact that only few days
previous the top Of the bridge caught IRE in
several places from sparks filling from an
engine, which was e1tmguished BY the watch
men and persons present. The hose was
speedily brought into use. but did not work.
Had II worked successfully. the extreme
rapid1ty Of the flames would hive rendered
1t useless.
Not mose than fifteen minutes elapsed from
the time the fire broke ont before the bridge
fell, and lay smouldertng nasa below. en-
tirely spanning the river for abort time,
when it gave way and foated down upon the
old Hydraulic Company's dam foundation,
where 1t EemainI lodged, obstructing the
passage Of rails. Mr. 6. Il. Daniels, road-
| master Of the western portion of the road,
and A. NoJes, depot agent at kllbourn City,
highest merit, taking the adynntago Of this
I Judgement, and making eyery effort to sescue
from the wreck the iron bolts and such re- 3.
/ maining timber as may be ofany value to the
rNuT0sd company.
The weather being very dsS, with strong
| length of the inside Of this fine and costly
structure, said to hare been" 40 feet IN
length, and from eighty to ninety feet above
the rivers surface, as Il BY some evil magic,
wns kiudled into yast dnmc In q very lew
moments, presenting the gr1ndest scene In
the form Of q fire that can be Imagined At
first vast cloud Of dense smoke as black as
Esehus, from the north side, rolled upward
IN an easterly direction. which, in spite Of the
destructive occasion, called forth from the
gathering throng expressions Of admiration at
| the magnificent scene
4 few moments later and the south side Of
the bridge presented a view that would have
| tmmortalizcl the artist that could hare OBJ
! ta1ned life like sketch ot 1t. A vast unin-
| terrupted sheet ot flaming fire from one to
| three hundred feet in length, rolling under
| the bridge its entire length, aud archiug into
| grand symmetrical curve, kept In smooth
! unchsncing proportions By the steady gale,
| with the terrible elements raging within, and
| through len thousand apertures, for few
" grand. The bridge burned 50
quickly that only the top tier of some OF
| the abutments are iniur@ d, while the piers re-
main unharmed. Thus the rebuilding will
require but few weeks, with probably not
| more than two-thirds Of its original cost,
| which It Is reported was $t00, ,0W-
KilbouEn 1ity and surrounding country,
| and appreciated its usefulness, cannot but
| lament Its temporJ loss, especially since q
| large portion OF country must remain fnacccs-
! BILE to our town for commercial purposes
| until It is rebuilt. Temporary ferries, being
| prepared now, will not help the matter much.
