Congressional.

The Marengo Citizen is out for
JohnP. Irish, editor Copperhead State
rress, at Iowa City, for Congress in
this district. Irish is quite young,
has considerable ability ofthe spread
eagle and flippant sort, but in our
opinion has entirely too much politi-
cal decency to secure the nomination.
He has recently written savage ar.
ticle protesting against Brick Pome-
roy's filth and treason being regards
ed as orthodox democracy, which
will in all probability lay him out in
the Convention.
Another probable candidate is Col.
Geo. Gillaspy of this city, who ap-
proaches tho necessary Comprehend
standard, much nearer than Irish, or
at least has entirely too much polit-
ical discretion to array himselfagainst
anything labeled democratic. The
Col. has ability, and wealth, and II
there was the least possible danger of
any Copperhead going to Congress
from this district we should infinitely
prefer him nominated to any one else
spoken of, of that persuasion. 1t is
at present quite likely that he will
receive the nomination on account Of
his well recognized ability as a
@speakist," and with the understand
ing that from his plethoric pocket he
is to contribute with his usual liber
atty to the purposes Of carrying the
district.
| Meantime, after all the agony il
over, the election of Judge Tough
ridge "will 60 on just the same" by

The p. o. Committee will hardly
be able to report st. Louis bridge bill
which passed the House the other
day. There is 80 much business be-
fore the Committee that they doubt
ifthey will be able to act on any of
the bridge bills before them.
Gen. Dyer, Chief of Ordnance, has
sent a letter to the House relative to
bridge at Rock island, which is as
follows: The Temporary bridge con-
nection Rock Island arsenal with the
city of Rock Island on the Illinois
shore was destroyed by fire, and q
food last winter, and there are now
no means of communication between
them, but a temporary ferry. The
necessities of public service require
frequent communication of persons,
and transfer ofmaterials between the
city and the arsenal, and the rees-
tablishment of bridge is necessary,
a permanent bridge is preferable for
every reason, and on the ground Of
economy. Tho estimates for the
construction of such bridge is one
hundred thousand dollars; I recon.
mend that an appropriation of that
sum be requested for that purpose; ]
enclose herewith a letter from Gen.
Rodman, commanding Rock Island
arsenal, on the subject of this bridge.
He also recommends the appropria.
ton.
