can see no other way to do. If anybody else
can, win they please point it out?
DR.. Truesdale stated yesterday, from
memory, that the repairs on the bridges and
road, during his administration, last year
cost only some three or four hundred dollars;
not to exceed FIVE hundred. The books
show that he was mistaken-they show an ex,
penditure of $l,6Ol,le. Of course it was
only mistake, as he spoke from memory

A Radical Protest.

The action of the house in refusing to adj
NIT the members ofthe Kentucky delegation

Indignation not merely by conservatives, but

the entire government, and convert the radi-

ing not only every department of the govern
ment but asserting domination over all the
states too.
John A. Logan, by speech addressed to
a willing audience, in which he recited If
responsible party hbels, excluded the entire
delegation of Kentucky from their seats. In
the report of the debates of Friday last it ap
pears that Mr.. Bingham, radical of Ohio
warmly protested against the outrage. The
report says:
Mr.. Bingham repudiated altogether the doc
trine that any member by his speech, could ex
clude the entire delegation of Ohio by an asser
ton that it was reported that the election hat
been improperly conducted. He (Mr. Bingham
repudiated the dogma that any member from hi
state could be excluded by an assertion that /
was reported he was disloyal. If q member ros,

put it on the journal of the house that a membe
accredited under the great seal of the state o
Ohio, was disqualified under the law of the Union
then that should receive the attention of tn
house, and exclude such person from qualification
He protested against this whole proceeding, be
cause it put in power of member, by his mer
speech, to exclude the entire representation O

done yesterday.

the name of Ortega. Juarez has GER

United States, which stood by him steadfast-

Mexican republic, has been obliged to con-

his cause aroused in the popular mind has
been entirely destroyed by one black deed.

THE CAMDEN BRIDGES.

Alderman HAYES. chairman of the Finance
Committee, of the City Council, some days
ago wrote to Springfield for copy of the
new law in relation to the Camden Road,
&C., and has received the following:
An Act to amend an Act entitled An Act legaliz-
ing the sale of the bridge property, franchises,
&C., of the Rock Island and Camden Plank
Road Company to the city of Rock Island.
SECTION 1. BE 1t enacted by the People Of the
State of Illinois, represented an the General As
sembty, That the city of Rock Island shah have
power to build and maintain MacAdamized road
instead of plank road on the line and within
the limits authorized by the charter Of the Rock
Island and Camden Plank Road Company.
SEC 2. That said city of Rock Island may by
ordinance resolution set apart the tolls arising
from such road or bridges, and cause the same to
be kept as q special fund, to be appropriated ex-
cusively to the payment of the interest upon the

said bridgas and corporate rights. and the ulti-

*NorE.-The interest on these bonds has been
paid semi-annually, and on the LIST of next
month the whole sum of interest will have been
paid.
The books show account of repairs in 1859,
and it is probable they included in the street
improvement reports for that year. The repairs
for 1866 included in the 4th item of expendi
lures.
By the above it will be seen that the Rock
River bridges have cost the people of this
city some ten thousand dollars more than
their earnings. But Notwithstanding this,
the purchase was good one, and the prop
cost, to-day.
DIR. Truesdale mixed this account ND with
city Indebtedness, in his remarks, in the
court house, yesterday, SO that some may get
awrong idea. He said we could not tell
how much the city owes on bridge account,
because bridge Indebtedness was mixed up
with street improvements and other city ex.
penditures. This is mystifying very plain
matter. We can tell exactly how much the
city owes on bridge account, viz: $lO,223,.
As exclusive of this year. The bridges owed
the city exactly that sum, March 4, 1861
Whether the city owed anybody or not,
makes no sort of diasrence-the bridges
owed the city this amount,and will owe ituntil
it is paid. Nor does it matter whether the
property is worth twice or ten times Ito or;o;

no richer, if he does not wish to sell. Tn,
people of this city have reasons, at present
for keeping control of these bridges anG
road, and would not sell them at any price
These reasons may not always exist, ant
when they cease to exist the people may b,
willing to sell--not till then.
And until then we have no doubt that th,

The present congress is q political menag-
erie. where all sorts of animals-clean and
unclean, mostly unclean-are gathered to
snarl and growl at each other and prey upon
the nation Monkeys that feed upon Nasty
nuts climb to an indecent hight, while hye-
mas employ their Shanks in seeking graves
of the dead before decay has commenced it's
work. Our noble delegates at Washington
accuse each other of falsehood, treason, muir
der, bribery, and, in many cases, prove the
truth of the allegation. Ignorance and its
companion, recklessness, hold high seats in
our national assemblies, and the small crea-
lures who have been bred by faction and
raised by sycophancy, imagine themselves
the political Brobdignags of creation, des-
tined to sway the action of the world and
get reelected to a salary of five thousand
dollars. Wade-who doesn't know enough
to preside intelligently over the deliberations
of the senate-is coarse, vulgar, vindictive,
and has but one redeeming quality this is
his paternal love, exhibited in repeating
"Mother Goose's Melodies" Schenck ex-
presses desire for the Presidents scalp ;
Loan wants him hung, while Ashley finds
congenial associate in the person of Mr..
Conever. Logan-who was prepared to
lose his arm before he would raise it against
the south, when the rebellion commenced
is for tramping constitution, law, usage,
right, and all marks of Independence under
foot, if party interest or prejudice suggest
such outrage and oppression. And so
we 60 on. Congress usurps all power-as-
sumes the part of Supreme Dictator the PEG,
pie are made to crawl between its legs and
offer thanksgiving that they are not crushed
entirely by the giants feet How long is
all this to be endured Is the unjust claim
to '1oyalty" to cover such gross iniquity?-
Is the stolen garment of patriotism to hide
such treason forever? Or, will the people
strip hypocrisy of its disguise and expose to
the whole country its hideous features, defy
ing its Vaccinations ?-Rostoss Post.
