EDITOR OF THE ARGUS, Sir.-Will you
give space in your paper for white man to
tell how q niger was placed over him? l
am a Swede, and was a soldier in Co. K,
23d Illinois Volunteers, and, for sometime,
have been engaged preparing Capt. 7. J.
RobInson's black horses, for the fair, as he
was very anxious to get premium on them.
lie had, all along, expressed entire satsfac-
ton at my care of the team and OF nv driv-
ing, and expected 70 exhibit the team at
the fair On Wednesday, be drove up to
Moline, and when he returned be told me
he had engaged a man to help me, and that
he would be at the stable soon. / supposed
that it was white man, Of course, and that
he would be merely my assistant. Judge
Of my surprise to see, in short time, big
niger come into the stable, look around a
little, and then bitch up the team and take a
drive about town. Ipaeked up my things
and told the captain that if niger was to
be placed over me did not wish to stay.

have the niger drive his team at the fair

TEMPORARY BRIDGE.- We visited the
point of the Island, to-day, where the new
government bridge is in course of construc.
ton. A force of hands, under the supervis-
ion of L. Hilton, are building temporary
bridge alongside of where the permanent
structure is to be located. 1t is to cost about
$500. 1t dispenses with the ferry-which
costs about 5000 per month. This retrench.
ment will soon pay for the outlay, ahd the
timber will yet be of use in the temporary
structure at the south end of the bridge pre-
paratory to building the abutment on this
side. This temporary bridge was projected
to be completed at the end of this week, but
the inability of Mr.. Keator to furnish timber
as fast as it is needed may delay it longer.
1t is Immediately above the east line Of the
permanent bridge.
Fifty men commenced work yesterday, on
the permanent bridge-some driving piles
for Golfer dam, to be eighty feet in length
and thirty,four in width, for the erection Of
the centre pier, and others removing soil
from the present roadway on the side of the
Island, previous to building the northern
pier. The abutment will be still beyond this
The three piers and abutments viii be con.
stracted Of Joliet stone, and will be finished
early in the spring.
