THE GOVERNMENT BRIDGE!
MEETING IN ROCK ISLAND!
Great Excitement over the attempt
70 stop the Government WORKS
and Prevent the Building Of the
Bridge.

The people of our neighboring city are
greatly excited over the discovery of an at
tempt, on the part of several of their citi-
zcns, to stop the Government works on the
Island, under charge of Gen. Rodman, and
the still more dastardly attempt to prevent
the building of the Government railroad and
free wagon and foot bridge over the main
channel of the Mississippi river at this place.
The Board of Trade have held q large meet
ing, at which resolutions of severe censure
were passed and a committee appointed to
investigate the matter and report at spec
ial meeting on Friday evening, at which
time such action will be taken as will be
deemed necessary. There viii be no
"white-washing" done by the committee. as
they will probably give the facts, and let
them hit where they may. The one caught
at so dastardly an act as to thus work against
the interests of this section will be shown
up and receive the just expression of the
universal and unlimited contempt of his fell
low citizens.
1t is a fact that work On the Island has
stopped, and that there are no immediate
prospects of the building of the bridge, and
as these things are of vital importance to
the growth and welfare of our city, we shall
! endeavor to inform our readers of the result
of the Rock Island committees investiga.
ton.
We do not apprehend that the stopping OF
| the work on the Island is due to the efforts
of any of the people OF Rock Island or any
other city, but rather to the fact that iron
| contracts cannot be signed until the i'm
| peachment question is disposed of. But the
| opposition to the building of the bridge may
have amounted to something. At least it is
no idle fear. As certain parties hare admit
ted that they hare been to Washington ana
opposed and endeooored to defeat The Bridg,

bungling affair, and was framed for the ex
| press benefit of the c. r. |. j. p. Railroad
| Company and tina. it is better to wait for
| something better in the future.

would be in almost any bill that could be

it gives US the bridge, tree to the people, and

| bridge in any shape, citizens of this vicinity
or of any other vicinity, should remembe
that they are dealing with a people sternly
in earnest--a people who, knowing their in
terests will dare defend them.
We can say to the people OF Rock IslanC
that on the bridge question, Davenport ii

Dedication Of the New Presbyterian Church
at Presumption.

EprroR OF THE ARGus-Dear Sir: Be-
ing at the dedication of the new Presbyte-
rian church in Presumption, on last Sabbath,
the Sd inst, / thought would tell you and
your numerous readers something of what /
saw and heard on the occasion. The Rev.
DR.. Wilson, of your city, preached the dedi-
cation sermon, and a suitable, instructive
and eloquent sermon it was. Ii is to be
printed in pamphlet form, in order to enable
those who were kept away by the rain to
have the qualification of perusing it, and also
to preserve it for reference in future years.
The church is really beautiful one,
complete, and finished in all ITS parts. The
painting is superb, done by J. Git. It is
beautifully grained in oak, and trimmings
and castings ara walnut. The heating and
lighting apparatus are very rich and chaste;
and to put the climax on the church, the
very excellent and fine toned bell was the
admiration of all I heard express an opin-
ion. 1t can be heard FIVE miles, and has
| been heard that distance from different
noints. The church is half gothic in archi-
lecture, with green blinds aud white walls,
| and forty foot dome, and is very sacred
looking.
Notwithstanding the shocking state of the
roads and the heavy rain that morning, the
church and gallery were filled nearly to
crowding. 1t was good to see the metho-
dist, episcopal and presbyterian churches
| represented on the same broad gospel plat
form.
| Rev. DR.. Wilson, an advisory member of
the building committee, after thanking all
who in any way aided or contributed to the
erection of tie church. for himself and the
PRESBYTERIAN friends of the enterprise, read
the financial report of the committee, showing
that the church all complete, cost S2,570,17.
| Towards this sum 81, 406 have been subscri-
bed, aud all been paid but few small
amounts which are good, leaving a balance
| of 1855, 90 which it is confidently believed
will be paid by some persons who have prom
| ised, but not yet named the amount they will
give. But Mr.. Whitsitt advanced the bal
ance, and the church was dedicated, free 81
| debt, and without any public collection.
Rev. Mr.. Lodge, the resident minister for
the new church, made the following an
nouncement: Sabbath School at 81 O'Clock
A. NJ, bell ring at A. NJ. Preaching ey,
| ery Sabbath at IL o'clock A. NJ, bell ring a'
| lO1 A. M. Weekly prayer meeting Wednes
day evenings at u o'clock P. M.
| Thus It will be seen that this church i;
fully equipped, and ready, it is hoped, for q
| useful and successful mission. The nea
and comfortable parsonage is so convenient
| that Mr. l.. can have his study in the church
Lest YOU and your readers both get too much
of good thing I'll stop.
| Your obedient servant,
A FRIEND OF IMPROVEMENT.

UedlcaLlou at
The new Presbyterian house of worship
at Presumption was dedicated on Sabbath,
the Sd inst, under very pleasant and auspi-
cious circircumstauces. Notwithstanding
the day was wet and lowering and the roads
almost impossible, the house was filled by
an attentive and interested audience. The
dedication sermon was preached by Rev. S.
T. Wilson, of Rock Island, from Ezra 6;
l6, II and Is and Kings 9; 3.
Rev. Messrs. Bristol, Morey of the Meth
odist church, and Bhckfelt, of the Episco-
pal church, participated in the services-Mr.
Bristol offering the dedicatory prayer.
In the afternoon Mr.. G.. M. Lodge, an
active and earnest young minister, just en-
tering upon his life work, and who is to be
in charge of this new and important field,
preached his Introductory sermon-s SER
mon appropriate and fitting, as indicating
the relations and mutual obligations of
ministers and people.
The building thus dedicated to the wor-
ship of God is a beautiful one, substantially
| built and we'll finished, and furnished
throughout in good taste, ut q cost Of about
| $4,000.
1t has attached to it ten acres of ground
which is rounded into knoll as if by the
| hand of nature for the very purpose to which
| it Is put.
The ground is gift from John Whitsett
ESQ.,, through whose zeal, enterprise and
large liberality, in good measure, the church
itself was built.
| Mr.. Whitsett also furnished the ministe,
with comfortable parsonage and glebe Of
four or FIVE acres of orchard, garden and
meadow
Altogether the effort has been most sue
| cessful one, creditable to all those engaged
in it and encouraging to communities SINH
lsrly situated to trust God and do likewise
| And with the new church edi6ce, with it:
| clear-toned bell calling the worshippers from
afsr; and the young and active minister tt
officiate; and the warm hearts and willing
hands of fellow workers to help; and tn,
broad and prosperous regions adjacent il
which to operate, the future of the church
seems full of promise. May the Lord o
the harvest have many sheaves from thence
