A BRIDGE OVER THE CoNaAREE.-
One of the greatest drawbacks to
Columbia at present is the lack of
reliable mode of crossing the Con-
garee. Cannot the old Columbia
Bridge Company effect arrangements
by which the burnt bridge can be re-
placed? It was rumored last year,
that proposition had been made by
practical builder to erect bridge,
Mt q reasonable rate, and to receive
the tolls in payment until the debt
was liquidated; or to allow fair re-
muneration for the piers as they
stand, and build bridge at his own
expense. 1t is an important matter,
gentlemen. and we'll worth looking
after. Boats answer very well as u
temporary arran cement; but high
water is constantly causing provoking
delays, and bridge is an actual ne
cessity.

a more, unsoldier-like fault than in
subordinatiou. This is an, elemen-
tsry truth in military science. It
has been a first principle in every
army organized in 4 any part of the
world, from the, days. Of Cyrus, and
Sennacherib down to those of Lee
and Sherman. Yet, although the
principle is universally admitted, it
is by no means universally practised.
Various degrees of practical respect
are accorded to it, Frederick the
Great, according to q well-known
anecdote; had an officer shot for
keeping his fight bur1Gng few mi
nutes after 'aps;;" and the act was
justified aS necessary to the mainte-
nance. of discipline. A Confederate
general had a soldier shot for deli
berate violation Of orders in firing off
his piece during movement lin the
vicinity Of an enemy that required
silence and secrecy. The firing was
forbidden; its object was felonious;
its effect was to infict wound upon
an innocent person, and might haze
been to cause the destruction of an
army; yet the punishment of the
offender was denounced as harsh and
cruel. Such was the difference be-
tween Prussian and American ideas
of discipline. We have little doubt
that the better discipline prevailing
in the Federal army was one of the
chief causes of the final success of
the Federal cause. Although neither
army was model, yet the state of
subordination among the Northern
troops was confessedly superior to
that existing among those of the
South. Bnt, of all the instances of
disobedience of orders on record in
military history, there is probably
none SO fagrant as that now existing
in the army of the United States. It
is SO fragrant as to be almost incredi-
BILE. Men-espeoially military men
heaunot realize the spectacle presented
by an officer of the rank and reputa-
tion of Gen. Grant, in positively re-
fusing to obey the orders of his
superior oflicer-his superior, too, by
the highest of all sanctions-the
direct and express authority of the
Constitution. 1t is the only case in
which the Constitution specifically
establishes a military authority; all
others exist only by Act of Congress.
Grant is now in open rebellion to the
authority of the United States Co
vernment, since, at the bidding of a
representative body, he fatty dis
obeys the orders of the "Commun-
der-in-Chief Of the Army and Navy
of the United States," and uses
armed force to support his insubor-
dination. II Gen. Grant had been
conscientious and consistent in. his
view of the situation, he would have
resigned long ago, when he first felt
that be could not obey the orders of
his superior. He cannot certainly be
so blind rs to suppose that militia y
supremacy, reducing the President
Of the United States to the position
of Government clerk, is at all in

LENT.-This word is of Saxon
derivation, 1engten tide, signifying
spring. It indicates III the Christian
Church, the great yearly spring fast,
preparatory to the rising.of Christ
from the grave. It is outwardly OBJ
served by the Episcopalians and Ro-
man Catholics, who find their rea-
sons for SO doing in the example and
command of Christ, who tasted forty
days, the practice of the apostles,
and the precepts of the churches.
The duties of Lent are watchful
and guarded every day life; increas-
ed devotion to religious duties; daily
self f-examination; abstinence from
parties and amusements; self-denial
in appetite, or fasting; frequent and
punctual attendance at church, and
the setting apart of liberal aims.
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of
Lent, and fell this year on the 26th
of February. Its place is found by
reckoning backward forty days from
Easter, excluding Sundays, which
are always feast days, and forms no
part of the Great Fast. Easter al
ways falls on the first Sunday after
the first full moon which occurs after
the vernal equinox, 'coinciding with
the Passover Feast. Wednesday
is considered the most solemn OBJ
servance of the Christian7year,, except
ing Good Friday and Passion Week.
Father Carmelli, in his history of
customs, tells us that .during the
Lent season hard eggs, dyed various
colors, but chiefly red, are the princi-
pal food of the season. He also tells
us that in Italy, France and Spain,
they had certain sports with eggs.
The Jewish women at the Passover
prepared hard eggs, the symbol of q
bird called Tiz, of which the Rab-
bins gave such fabulous accounts.
The learned Hyde, in his Oriental
Sports, tells us of one with eggs
among the Christians of Mesopota-
min, during Lent and forty days
afterwards, during which time the
children procure as many eggs as
they can, and stain them red, in allu-
sion to the blood of our Saviour shed
on the cross. In parts of England,
they arc called "paste eggs" which
is corruption of "Pasque," meaning
easter" The ritual of Pope Paul
the Fifth expressly makes eggs en-
blematical of the Resurrection. The
! Greek Christians also use them.
They are sometimes beautifully gilt
and ornamented.

Proposed Reorganization Of the Treas
ury Department.
WAsuINGToN Ian o.

''ASiiIHNuAO-N, W cdii. Z &.
The bill recently introduced in the
Senate by Mr. Fessenden providing for
the reorganization of the Treasury De-
partment will, if adopted, decrease the ex-
penses of the department, according to
careful estimate, fully two hundred thous-
and dollars per annum. 1t will increase
the salaries of several of the clerks and
other officers ofthe department who have
become invaluable on account of their ex-
perience and enable the government to
retain their services. An estimate NAV
be made of how much has been lost in
this connection when it is known that
near V six hundred clerks have resigned
their positions since the lst of january,
1886, nearly all Of the number doing so
on account of the inade9uacy of their sal
aries and being able to obtain better pay
ing positions on account of their expert
ence, elsewhere. The present Secretary
recommends the adoption ofthis or simi-
lar bill. There are now employed about
two thousand four hundred clerks. By
the provisions of the bill the chief clerks
of the different offices are made deputies
and assume the duties of the official head
in case of inability, death, or resignation.
The female clerks are put into three
grades, without Increasing in the aggre-
gate, the salaries now paid to this class
Of employees; at present the good, bad,
and Indifferent are all paid alike, and as
there is no promotion there is consequent
" little OK no incentive to exertion.

OLCMBUS, Jan. 80
Dear Telegraph In my last hasty note
of correspondence sent you, find the printer
has 1.-THE one hundred voices attending the
Wesleyan School at Delaware when it should
have read the one hundred voters. These voters
have now been heard from, and have given
abundant proof that the democratic legislators
were correct in the supposition th0t liberal
education unfts a MAJ, for poti'lg the demo-
cratic ticket. The town of Delaware gave
Beatty Rep. 3i8 majority over Burns, Dem A
gain of % over last year
The vote in Delaware stood 76t for Beatty,
and 4i6 for Burns. The full vote in the dis
trict shows majority of some $50 to 1000 ma
jority for Beatty, and gtin of more than COO.
All honor TO the true and faithful men eff the

pie have shown mcst conclusiYelY, that they
are not willing 10 admit to more than former
privileges, the unrepentant rebel states with 10
guarantee Of future good behavior.
The Republican caucus invited by the State
Central Committee TO consult in reference TO
the next State Convection, numbered almost
lO0-inclading many influential citizens of all
parts OF the State, and the members of the leg
i<lature. All present appeared to be hopeful
and confident, and gave many of the party
questions free and full consideration in the
course of which the subject of next Presiden-
tial candidate came up, and l was very much
surprised 10 find such eOOndsyJM uniformity
among the influential men of all parts of the
State. The name of Grant was cheered to the
echo, while the attempt to Call out sentiment
OF cheer for Chase proved failure A Gin
elnnati reporter who is personally acquainted
Win nearly all in the caucus went TO almost
every man curing the evening and asked him
his preference for President. When l asked
him the result, he said that there were but
two or three in the Whole crowd (of more than
one hundred) who were not for Grspt. and the
after demonstrations indicated the same.
Many, no doubt, would prefer Chase for GER
tain reasons, but for the sake OF union, to de-
feat dangerous and disloyal democratic party
with all their schemes for iuf1ating our currency
and admitting to full privileges unrepentant
secessionists, the republican party of Ohio have
uhuouoteuif uAeu upon tEe slaDle, rCHaDle,
prudent and patriotic Grant, as the standard
bearer for the next campaign. They feelconf-
dent that he will not disappoint the reasonable
expectations of his friends-that he will not IA
vnr the return of the rebel states to the full
privileges which the loyal states enjoy, till they
can give security for their future good behavior,
and that he will not permit The freedmen of the
south to be abused and trampled on, by their
rebel neighbors- With this confidence they are
ready TO trust him. The time for the State

BELL1GERENr RIGHTS AND THEIR OFF
sETs.-The House Of Representatives at
Washington saw proper to express SYM
pathy with the Irish iii the movement
they are making against the power of
Great Britain. The London journals are
indignant at this action, and profess to
regard it as monstrous and unprecedent-
cd. The British Government went much
farther when it accorded belligercnt
rights to the Confederates. 1t is now
reaping only what it sowed, and ought
not to complain of the quality of the crop.
