THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL. BRlDC T..

Our citizens have long felt anxious in ~
gard to the location to be selected for the Ill.
Central Bridge. This anxiety will be settled
ior veal or woe within the next month.
The engineer OF the Illinois Centeral, under
whose direction the surveys for the bridge
site were made ia '6i and &c, has selected
the place he deems the most economical aud
convenient for all concerned, and has re
Gently given the Directors OF the road has
views on the subject.
The site selected by him has its eastern
termination at the north end Of the stone
freight house. striking the Iowa side jus,
above the Third Street Extension. This
site will necessitate the excavation OF the
bluff opposite the freight house, or rather
the semi-tunnellng of it. As the rock in
the bluff is soft, the excavation will not in
yolve a very large outlay.
The engineer has also recommended the
combining Of wagon bridge with that OF
the railroad, providing the people ofDubuque,
and those portions of Illinois and Wisconsin
interested in such convenience, will pay
the eN,rA expense necessary for its construc'
ton.
The above facts were learned from the
engineer himself-who feels confident that
his recommendatiors will be adopied-by our
Observation-Disclosures Times.

A Wisconsin court has decided ,ha. q
man has right to chastise his wife to a
reasonable extent.'a
"The Virginia Supreme Court Of Ap-
peals has decided thar the clothes of a
married woman do not belong to her, but
are property Of her husband"
The above paragraphs are now going the
rounds Of the press. The facts are doubts
less as represented. Read them in the light
OF the nineteenth century, but more espec-
ially Of the year 1867, and then ask the
question If slavery WAS abolished by the re-
bellion, and if justice would be satisfied
with the enfranchisement Of the negro.
Here We have the simultaneous voices Of a
loyal and disloyal State, Of boastfully free
Wisconsin, and "chivalric" Virginia, and
both add to the roll Of dishonor, the sole
difference being that the former out-Herods
the latter. We ask what stronger argu-
menss than the facts above recorded can be
adduced to prove the necessity Of the balo,
to woman. 1t was very justly said BY Fred
Douglass, in bis recent lecture in this citv.
in reply to the assertion that najori,es
are arbitrary, "fhey are only arbitrary to
unrepresented classes They neyer op-
press themselves. Permit woman to be
represented, as she has God given right 10
be, aud all such barbarous, shameful and
degrading decisions as those by the wiscon.
sin and Virginia courts, would at once be
rendered impossible, for TIE laws upon
which they are based would be swep, from
the statute books as fouler disgrace
than the Blue.laws Of Connecticut. Flog-
ging wemon and stealing their clothes may
seem strange breaches of that peculiar gal
lansry which is said to inspire Americans to-
ward the fair sex, and which it is claimed
will always protect her 10 her rights, bu. We
may rest assured that it is no greater violc.
tion of the true principles Of honorable cour
tesy than that inhibition Of her natural
rights which depriyes her Of the opporsuni-
" to assert and maintain her Just claims
through the ballet.
