lutious, and then, in . most able manner,
answered the various points attempted by
Mr.. Robinson, whom he did not blame for
his action, for hs Vas working for the fer
~, which IL the bridge was built would b
useless. He spoke very strongly in favor
Of the bridge, his remarks On this point
meeting with hearty applause. Captain Rob
inson, in his interruptions, showed that his
efforts to defeat the bridge had gone still
further than any supposed. Mr.. Osborn
thought that the interests Of the two cities
should be the sams-was in favor Of free
communication. free trade, without tribute
TO the ferry. Did not think the Govern
msnt would have any trouble in finding
railroads to crsss the bridge, and thought
that no citizen in this whole section Of coun-
try was opposed to Il, unless those sf the
ferry interest. His remarks were gentle
manly, yet at times sarcastic and cutting.
DR.. Trussdsll followed. stating that in
conversation with Gen. .Rodman. after his re-
turn from Washington, be learned that Hi
ram Price refused to give his aid to secure
an appropriation for rsbuildidg the road
bridge to the Island, for the reason that the
Rock Island people we're opposing thsbuild-
ing Of the main railuDad and wagon bridge
across the Mississippi. This had convinced
him Of the necessity Of some actisn on the
part Of the people to prevent any feeling

was the only one who had favored il, and
hs very little. He further reviewed the
numerous benefits that would accrue to
Rock Island BY the building Of the bridge

the people west Of .hs river with the pre-
duct Of their msnufactsries. His remarks
we're very forcibls and were received With
much favor.
Mr.. p. L. Cable followed, stating that be

the bsidgs-in fact he admired him for doing
it-juss a he admired P. L. Cable for not
vanting competing lins to tho coal bs"ks.
This honest confession Of opposition to the
r ,ck Island and Peoria r. X. brought the
house down with hearty laugh. Although
he could see objections to the bridge bill be

o o bread" His strong point in favor ofths
bridge, was that it would draw railroads to
this point, and make Rock Island and Da-
vsnport the great railroad centre Of the Up
per Mississippi Valley. He WAS in favor
Of petition to Csngrsss. Should this be
done Scott county will meet them with i've
thousand names.
Dr.. Trussdell spoke again on the rssolu-
ton before Congress. and stated that Gen.
Rodman had said that after the passage Of
the bill, work would not be commenced un-
Ill an agreement, in accordance with its pro-
visions, be made with the c., R. l. { P. X. r.,
and this agresmsnt should net exclude any
other road that might want to use the
bridge.
Ns. Cable spoke again in favor Of the
resolutions before the Board, and thought
the influence Of Iowa should be secured in
the matter. Dr.. Plummsy, who favored the
bridge followed on q technical point Of the
bill. this point wasibrieHy answered BY DR..

talk, coming out strongly for the votes Of

The resolutions Of Mr.. Osborn we're pas

Of the meeting being 90 strongly in favor Of
the bridge, and the resolutions that none
wanted to oppose them. The meeting
then adjourned.
We do not apprshend that the epposi-
ton to the bridge will amount to any
thing farther, but that il has had the effect
to arouse the people 10 . just appreciation
