The discussion of the question of a bridge
across East River between New York and
Brooklyn, to which the recent blockade of the
ferries by ice has given new impetus, is like
ly to result in practical action. A company is
forming whose proposed charter requires that
operations shall be commenced the present
year, and, that the bridge shall be passable with
in three years. 80.
The plan of the bridge is novel one, and
the extent Of the work will be unrivalled in
the annals of bodybuilding. 1t proposes two
bridges, built at such an angle as to intersect
each other in the middle of the river, one of
which is to be used for foot passengers and the
other for street cars. rsis = -.s...r.. - 49,
The latter will reach from Middagh street,
on Brooklyn Heights, to Peck slip, and the
former starting from Fulton street and reach
ing to Burling slip.
The Brooklyn Union says: p
B The combination bridge lands people just
where the bulk of them want to 60; the thou
sands of business men who daily cross the riv-
er would avoid a bridge that lands them at
Rutgers street or even Chatham square.
= The dimensions and details of the plan may
be modified, so that an approximation of its
cost can only be arrived at If the wire cables
(four of which are eighteen inches in diameter)
and the wrought-iron sections are admitted
duty free, it is thought three million dollars in
gold will complete this permanent connection
with our sister city-an expenditure that the
advance in real estate alone will repay tenfold

Mr.. EDIToR:-ln your report of the Demo-
cratic jubilee on Saturday night, you stated
that Gen. Anderson said that the Republican
party came out of the war with better pres
tige than any party ever had in the United
States, and hoped that his friend Josh was not
there to hear, ter he would have gone home
heart sick. There 1 beg your pardon, for,
think he told the truth from the simple he1i
that in the darkest days of the rebellion wall
ing cry came up from the leaders OF the party
at Washington "Help me- Cassius, or SINK,

unanimously the so-called Crittenden resolu'
tion. This war is waged in no spirit of oppres-

people that it is unnecessary to repeat them

throughout the country sprang to arms, and
under that cry the rebellion was subdued and
Task you could any party have had a better
prestige than that had they been honest? 1
think not, for every true lover of his country
would have thanked God with tears in his eyes

od GENERAL SHERIDAN AGAIN.--The Gardiner
Journal copies our explanation of the msap-
prehension about hack hire and other bills con-
nected with Gen. Sheridan's departure for Au-
gusta, admitting that perhaps ''the Portland
ers were right, but with the following COM
mentary: az1i 5J IN % siai lo bloW b9lai6
1t seems there was some>lttlea misunder-
standing about just what time the Portland
folks transferred Gen. s. to the eau gusta au-
thorities."' 1t seems little strange to us that
if Gen. Caldwell ordered these things, the bills
should not have been paid as any bills against
the State are Paid. ...5si-.. +. ,.-,-...r go.
There was no misunderstanding. The Port
land Committee took charge of Gen. Sheri-
dams party at the Revere House in Boston,
Monday morning. He was regarded as the
guest Of the city from that moment. Monday
evening the Committee inquired of Gen. Cald-
well when he desired to take charge of Gen.
Sheridan, and were told, To morrow morning,
after breakfast" Tuesday morning General
Caldwell ordered carriages and cigars, after
breakfast, and of course expected to pay for
them, The bills We're never presented to the
City Government and plainly ought not to
have been, though if they had been we have no
doubt they would have been paid. Has there
not been rather more than talk enough about
such an exceedingly small matter? s-,..5,
