DuBuQvE, Feb. 18th, 1868.
Ed. BulLKTis When | closed nv last
letter, | was speaking Of the probable nomi-
nation Of Gen. Grant by the Republican
party, as their candidate for President.
That he will be their frst choice, seems a
ioregone conclusion, The infamous at.
tempt on the part Of Andrew johnson to in,
Jure bus Character before tie coun.ry. has
resulted in complete failure, and the bra;e
General stands to>day, as heretofore, the
tried and the true receiving the respect and
admiration Of all loyal and patriotic men,
from one end Of the nation to the other. He
is not, and never has been, my first choice
for President. Ii always seemed to me tlat
the position he now occupies, is Just the one
he should occupy, and that he should rest
satisfied. without desiring TO attain 10 the
Presidential chair. But tie party whose
! principles lie represents are determined tLat
he shall be called TO the highest position
which is in their powor 10 give-they believe
that the man who was largely instrumental
in saving tie country in lis grca, emergency,
will be only suitably rewarded when called
to be its Chief Magistrate. To this end,
Grant clubs are being formed, conventions
are proclAiming him as their first, last, and
only choice, and the press very generally
present his name as The man for the place
1t is reasonably certain, then, that he will be
the nominee--intieed, the indications are
that he will be almost without competitor
in he forthcoming convention. But whC
viii be nominated for Vice President? Ifs
good man is not selected it will not be be.
cause none can be had-almost every Stat,
has a candidate to put forward. The rea
contest viii be for the Wee Presidency. ",
have learned By terrible experience tia
We should lie as careful in nominating ths
one as the other.
The daily prayer meetings in the Young
Mems Christian Association rooms continue

teres,. Preaching services are held eacl
evening during the week in the Main stree
NJ. I. Church--large numbers are attracted
,hither TO hear Rev. J. l.. G. McKown, liz
new and popular pastor Of that church. Ex
ira meetings have been held in other church
es AMI the attendance such as to encourage
both pastors and people.
About II o'clock on Saturday evening
last, fire broke out at l37 Main street
four buildings were entirely consumed-and
two others burned so as to be almost worth
less. Four stores and saloon besides sew
eral tenements were in the buildings des
troyed. / think the owner will erect brick
block forthwith, which viii be a grea, i'm,
provement, as the ones burned were anything
but ornaments TO the city.
The weather is delightful here today, bu,

Our JESUP LETTER.
JEsup, Feb. 10Th, 1868,

JEsup, Feb. 10Th, 1868.
Ed. BULLETIN =" A Littletonecr," in a
letter dated 10th inst, hopes that Rcgulus"
will write on subject with which he is ac>
quainted next time''-which is certainly a
poor compliment to the former efforts of that
correspondent Of your paper.
Now the fac. is that my letter Of the 9th
inst. which called out the fierce onslaught o.
the Lit,lctoneer, was written with the exp.c-
.ation that some such replies would be made,
and will now proceed to back up my state
ments, having received more full and COM
plete information on the subject than l then
had. That | erred in stating that the tins
Der hauled for the section bridge was re-
moved to Littlcton, l freely admit, but that
does net weaken my argument, nor have any
great bearing on the question. The fact re-
mains that portion Of the timber for tina,
bridge was on the ground, aud that it was
removed because Of the failure Of some one
to build the bridge.
Now what was the cause Of that failure
The Li,tleton correspondent claims that it
resulted from the failure Of the Jesupites to
meet their subscriptions aud become securi>
ty for the building of the bridge by the con>
tractor. Let's see how that is! Ihave seen
the subscription referred to, and find it to be
headed as follows: Thirty days after due
notice has been given, we promise TO pay
the sums set opposite our names, to make
up any deficiency that may arise after Il e
$l,5o0 appropriated by the county has been
expended and as the subscription was
mu h larger than the deficiency could be, it
was further agreed that each subscriber was
to pay only such per centage of his subscrip-
ton as should prove necessary. Now will
our Little,on friends please inform u where.
in the subscribers failed to meet the terms
Of their obligation? There was no agrees
ment to pay the subscription until the ST.
500 appropriated by the county had been
expended, aud those who try to shoulder up
on Jesup the responsibility Of the failure Of
that bridge enterprise, simply try to throw
dust in the eyes of the public, so that it may
not observe the nice little game which they
are attempting to play. The fact is patent
that certain interested parties in Liltletor
and Independence have done some exten'
sivc wire.pulliug' to prevent the erection
of bridge which, while it would prove o
immense benefit to the residents Of Fairbanl
and the Forks would probably leopard
ize their private interests, from the very fac
that the construction of this "section s.
bridge would open up to the people lMin!
