DEATH OF Mr.. JOHN CAsKIE.-The vene-
rable JOIN CAs5rE died in this city ysster-
day, after protracted indisposition from
declining health, in the seventy-eighth
year of his age. He was one Of the most
estimable of men, and after long life as
merchant in this city it may be said with
entire truth that he leaves behind him a
character without spot or blemsh. HIS
brother, the late JAMES CAsK1E, and HIM
self, came to this city from Scotland while
young men, and engaged in the tobacco
trade. They became distinguished tor
their excellent Judgment and elevated
nrinciples. and were ever respected as
amongst the most worthy in that body OF
influential gentlemen. The two CAsKIEs
were, indeed, types of the Richmond mer-
chant of their day-in whom there was no
practice or device inconsistent with honor
and the obligations of Christian gentle
man.
Mr.. JOHN CAsKIE did not long survive
his brother, and, like him, dies deeply re-
gretted. In all his relations Of life he was
amongst the most faithful of men, and by
his kindness and gentleness, his purity OF
character, his deep sincerity and warm at
fections, he engrosscd the friendship of his
acquaintances and the devoted loves of his
own domestic circle to q degree admirable
as it was honorable to mankind.
The funeral of the deceased will take
place tomorrow at IL o'clock from Rev.
Dr.. HOGE's church.

ANOTHER BROOKLYN WHISKEY FRAUD
New York papers announce the arrest
of J. C. THOMPSON, of Brooklyn, keeper
of bonded warehouse in Brooklyn, under
charge Of conspiracy to defraud the Co
vernment. The police found 500 empty
barrels in his warehouse, and the charge
is that he conspired to dcfraud the Co.
vernmcnt of 10000 gallons of whiskey,
the tax on which was $4,000. He gave
bail in the sum of $4,000, which he could
pay and still make $4,000 by the transac-
ton. 1t is said that other arrests are to
be made of persons whose reputation is
above suspicion now.
This whiskcy business is playing hob
with the characters Of men. There is q
world of temptation in the matter, and the
Government is to blame for putting temp
tation in the way of people. This enormous
whiSkey tax and the machinery for collect
ing it are filling the land with frauds, and
will continue to do so as long as they are
in existence. The Government is a great
transgressor TO expose the people to such
demoralziDg influences. There is no such
thing as an efficient and faithful admins
traton of the whiskey tax laws. They ill.,
troduce corruption inside the public offices
as well as frauds amongst taX-collectors
and payers, and there is no earthly
mode of avoiding them but tho reduction
of the tax to the point where honesty may
live and be sustained.

Big SANDY BRANCH.-A meeting was
very recently held at Ceredo, in Wayne
county, at the mouth of Big Sandy, to
consider the question of tho Big Sandy
terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad. Colonel PAXTON was present
and addressed the meeting. He estimated
that it would take 5000, 900 to flush the
grading and masonry from the mouth of
Sandy to the Kanawha river. He pro-
posed that Cabell county should subscribe
100000, Putnam $4,000, and Wayne
Sl5O,O00, in order to prepare the road as
described for the rails. The meeting
listened with interest to the remarks Of
Colonel P, and when he concluded, they
resolved to ask (and did afterwards ask
the Board Of Supervisors to take the sense
of the legal voters on the question of q
subscription by the county Of $4,000 to
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. The
Board ordered the vote to be taken on the
4th of October. The counties in both
Kentucky and Virginia near the Bic
Sandy are much enlisted in the cause q,
the branch to the mouth of that river. and
will subscribe literally.
The Big Sandy Herald says that the roac
from Lexington, Ky, to the mouth Of Biz
Sandy protected and begun before the
war; will certainly be built.

The ALABAMA CLAIMs.-1n the further
correspondence that is published on this
subject, Secretary SEWARD, under date
August q, 1866, sends to Minister ADAMS
summary Of claims Of citizens Of the
United States for damages from the pri-
vateers fitted out from British ports, and re-
quests that Lord STANLEY may be informed
that a settlement Of these claims "has be-
"come urgently necessary to rcGstablish-
"ment of entirely friendly relations be-
"tween the United States and Great Bri.
"tain." The course of the latter country
during tho rebellion is contrastcd with the
action of the United States Government
toward the Fenian invasion of Canada in the
following words: "Thus we have seen ruin
"ous British warlike expeditions against
"the United States practically allowed
land tolerated by her Majesty's Govern
"ment, notwithstanding remonstrance
"and we have seen similar unlawful
"attempts in this country against Great
i" Britain disallowed and defeated by the
"drect and unprompted action Of the
Government Of the United States"

THE GRAND BRIDGE FROM New YORK TIC
BRooKLYN.-We published short time
since some account Of the proposed bridge
| from New York to Brooklyn, across the
East river, as one of the works Of greatest
magnitude now projected. The New York
papers contain report from Mr.. RoEBLING
the engineer engaged to direct the. work
| in which he gives full estimates and dimen-
sions, and decides in favor of the terminus
at City Hall square in New York, and the
corner Of Fulton and Main streets as the
Brooklyn end. He now estimates the en-.
tire cost of the bridge at $6,675,357.
The entire length Of the bridge will be
1884 feet. The length of the river span
will be ,433 feet; and the height Of the
bridge from the water will be 100 feet; SO
that navigation will not be interrupted in
any manner. Half spans reach to the
anchor wall on either side. 1t will be a
suspension bridge.
The towers are immense. The base will
be 1874 feet by sc feet, and the dimensions
will gradually diminiShes until at the top
they will be 100 by 40. The height of the
towers will be 26S from high water to the
roof of tower. The outside of the pillars
will be of granite the interior of concrete.
The roofs of the houses are cleared by
the bridge, and the streets are crossed by
iron Orders. The floor of the bridge will be
made fire and waterproof. It's width and
purposes are thus described:
"The UNDERTAKING which forms the
bridge floor is eighty feet wide, divided in
five spans by six piers of iron trusses. The
two outside spans are fifteen feet wide, and
form roadways for all kinds Of travel.
Iron tramways are laid down for the
wheels to run on, the same as on the Gin
cinnati bridge, leaving four feet eight and
one-half inches in the clear for the, horses
10 run on. The next two spaces are each
thirteen feet wide, provided with steel
rails for two passenger trains backward
and forward alternately, propelled by an
endless chain rope and stationary engine
on the Brooklyn side. These cars can
safely have running speed of twenty
miles an hour, but forty might be made in
the centre Of the bridge. Two sets Of en-
gines will always be in readiness lest an
accident should occur to the one in use.
Two hundred and eighty-eight thousand
persons could be passed over this road in

twenty -four hours in one direction, besides
those who might go on foot, which would
reach nearly half million in all. 1t IS
stated that the bridge could accommodate
the entire travel Of all the ferries as they
are now constructed, which is about forty
millions annually. The fifth division OF
the bridge is reserved for an elevated pro-
meo1de for people of leisure"
This is very grand work, and will afford
great relief to a city now oppressed with
human beings whose entrances and exits
are absolutely choked from the throngs
that crowd them.

RAPID RowING.-A great boat race for
the championship Of the world" in that
line took place on Wednesday at Spring
field, Mass, between four brothers WARD,
of Newburg, N. T., and four rowers from
St. Johns, n. B. The former were the
winners, performing the six miles in thirty
nine minutes and twenty eight seconds.
The New Brunswick boat made the dis
lance in forty -one minutes sixteen seconds.
The "Staridan Shark" the WARDS boat,
travelled at about nine miles per hour.
She was an exceedingly light boat, and
polished like piano instead of being
creased, according to the ordinary plan.
The " Thetis," the Brunswickers' boat,
was creased. The sum hazarded was
81 900 aside. An immense crowd was
attracted on the occasion, and "great ex-
element" prevailed.

The telegraph tells us that the Presl-
dent and Cabinet desire all the elections
in the southern States to take place on
the same day. We cannot imagine any
good reason why such should be the case.
We in Virginia are ready for the elections
and there is no necessity for us to await
the movements OF General CANDY or any
other General. 1t has never been the case,
either in the South or in the North, that
any considerable number of States held
elections on the same day. 1t is matter
of so little Importance, however, that We
deem it worthy of comment only because
the Administration has considered 1t OF
sufficient magnitude to make it the sub
lcct Of Cabinet conference.
