TILE RR0OKLYN BRIDGE.

The address of tho Hon. Demas Barnes the
other night at the Brooklyn Athen9um on inc
subiect of the East River bridge was rather
funny production in some points OF view,
Though we heartily concur with the genera
drift Of his argument. Nobody who has the
r,igfortune IN use the boats Of the Union Ferry
Germany need be told that our present facili-
tics for getting across the East River are en-
tirely inadequate and are becoming more anu
more so every year. The experience OF o'ner
cities has proved that for the accohlhoua'
tion of such travel rs constantly passes De-
tween New-York and Brooklyn, bridges arc
absolutely essential. The conGguration OF the
land is favorable. There are no Sc
rious engineering difficulties. Nothing
ia wanted but the money, and enough OF that
can be raised not for one bridge only but Tor
several. If Mr.. Barnes is the typical Brooklyn
capitalist, we shall have tho bridge without
much more delay. His audacity Is inspiring
and his faith is sublime. Brooklyn, he believes
is TO be tho future metropolis OF America II
it Is not already tho first city of the Western
world. Statistics cannot keep it down any
longer. New-York must soon cover the whole
Of Manhattan Island, and will then choke to
death. IlOOhlgu Ido tHo N'i"iS
Island at her back, and eternity before her,
Build a bridge, forsooth! We will do more
than that. We have allowed New-York to
keep disgusting old market at the foot OF
Fulton-st., but that we will do no more. We
will indict the markets as nuisances, widen
Fulton-st. to the Astor House, and widen
Catherine-st to the Bowery. Do you ask how
Perhaps by treaty; perhaps 10y purchase ii
all else fails, then by Annexation!
Mr. Barnes reminds us Of Boston. There Is
the same local pride, the same ambition, and
the same audacity in his speech that built the
Coliseum and the Big Drum, and such qualities
are lust what are needed to insure success
Boston determined to beat the world with her
Jubilee. and she did it partly by intelligent
and systematic effort but partly, too, by sheer
assurance. Now, if Brooklyn will initiate
Barnes and Boston by going at tine Big Bridge
in tho same manner the work will be finished
i'm n very few years.

BOLTING.

When no great National question is to be
decided, the Republicans are fond OF showing
their independence. A third of them decline
to vote at all about as many more Spit OH
on all manner of side issues. Thus, though
the late Republican State Convention oil Name
resolved in favor of Liquor PrOhlbition-wmch
we think no Republican State Convention ever
did before-certain Jealous Temperance men
have since held a State Convention and noml-
mated distinct candidate for Governor. VI
course, they will not elect him, nor Wall they
beat Gov. Chamberlain; but they are very
likely TO throw the election into the Legisia-
ture. In Massachusetts,, though the Governor
il n ProhibitOnist, and the Legislature has just
passed stringent Prohibitory law, some red
hot Temperance men say they will bolt TINS
Fall-probably to balance the free-drink Re
publicans who will vote for John Quincy
Adams. From Pennsylvania, we hear that
some Republicans threaten to vote against
Gov Geary-others will not vote at all-and
so on 1t looks as though this would be a
good year for boiling.
Very well, gentlemen, go ahead If such hui
mOrs peryade the body polite, better bring
them to tho surface at once. Boiling Is "a
wholesome and highly conservative institution,
though radicals seem exceptionally fond OF 1T.
Scolding or whining does no good; so let
every one bolt who will, and be done with 1t.
You will feel better for it, we presume, and put
Yourselves in shape TO take hold like true men
next year, when We have House OF Represent
atives to choose and several Senators depend
ing. Let us get the boiling done mp tins year
and out of the way, so that we may all pull
together next season. There is temporary vex-
alton in bolt, but permanent good often comes
of it and we urge all who mean to bolt some
time to do it this year and have done with it.

Gen. DANIEL L. SICKLEs was greeted last
evening by the largest assemblage of distin-
guished citizens that ever gathered to attest
their trust in and regard for native of our
City. The house was tTOnged from an early
to a late hour by a company largely made up
of Democrats who have hOnored their party,
and been honored by it, including ex-COngress-
men, Senator's Judges, &c, &c. Clergymen of
different denominations were present, to attest
their sympathy with one who has been more
bitterly assailed and DETAINED since he gave him
self Loyalty and wholly to the rescue and defense
of his impenled country than in his earlier
career, when he was, in the face of all that is
now raked up against him, elected by his fellow
Democrats to almost every important legis
lative Office in its gift. That there should be
large assembage of those who had been heartily
with Gen. Sicllles in resisting the Rebellion,
was a matter of course. They crowded to attest
their gratitude for his past services, and their
confident trust that they would be parallcled
by those lie will render his country in the new
career on which he is about to enter. We I'M
derstand that he leaves for Spain to-day.

The people of the range of townships in
Connecticut lying north of that through which
the New-Haven Railroad passes ask the Legis-
lature TO allow them to construct Railroad
for their own accommodation and that Of the
general public. The Legislature has vOted-11
to 10 in the Senate, 1T to 10l in the House
that they must not do it. We do not consider
this the judgment of the People of Connecti-
cut. Massachusetts has parallel roads from
Boston eastward to her extreme border, each
of them pointing Mt Portland; whereas the
travel and transportation between New Haven
and this City must be decidedly heavier than
that through eastern Massachusetts. The New
Haven Railroad is a rich and powerful cOrpo-
ration, but the State of Connecticut will prove,
in the long run, its master. We advise the
Company to let the proposed road be chartered,
build it, and control it. That is the way the
Camden and Amboy preserves its monopoly of
the passenger business between this City and
Philadelphia, and nothing short of this will
serve. Plainly, tho proposed road through
Derby will be built-thc only question is one
of time. The Company can choose to build
and own the road-it cannot long prevent its
construction. Better submit to tie inevitable.

We heartily commend Secretary Rawlins's
disposition TO work a reform in the matter of

half the statements made concerning abuses
in this business can be accepted, the reform has

The Lords have reached a second stage in
the finishing career of the Church BILL After
arguments against secularzation of the Church
funds, and favoring concurrent endowment,
they came upon the amendment making 1872
instead of 1871 the date Of Disestablshment.
This they have passed by vote of 100 to "a,
and furthermore have succeeded in getting over
nearly dozen clauses Of the bill without i'm
pediment worth mentioning. Fear remains,
however, that the bill will have yet q slow
length to drag along-slOw to all American
conception Of enterprise in legislation. The
Lords being a sumptuOus and obstructive body,
the aIistocratie form of a bovine principle in
English politics, we do not see how great haste
TO do anything right is to be expected of them.
Generally it is necessary for them to give
large and long digestion to public questions,

Pending the war in Japan, a movement had
begun among the Daimios to surrender all their

large annuities. This movement was to have

news of their doings. In the very mixed and

SP EClAL NOTICES.

AN ELEGANT TURNoUT.-We saw at the
factory Of Mr. O. Kimball, yesterday, the
most elegant single sleigh il was ever our good
fortune to examine. We think it even excels
in beauty the famous sleigh Mr. K. exhibited
at the state Fair. 1t is MIR. KS patent cor.
rugated pattern, painted imperial green top
and dasber, running work fine white richly
striped with gold and carmine, trimmed with
brown silk velvet. and is rich and elegant in
the extreme. This sleigh was built by Mr.. K.
expressly for Dr. o Fitzgerald, OF Dexter, Me.
The Doctor is well known in all tie easteru
part of Maine as one of the best looking men
in the State, and we feel very sure lie will
have by all odds, the finest turn out in the
Pine Tree Stale-Portland Press, Jan. 8.
To this beautiful sleigh that cost four hun
dred dollars, the Doctor has hitched one OF
the most splendid horses in the county, with
gold mounted harness to match, making the
team cost in round numbers nearly two
thousand dollars. But the Doctors wonderful
success fully warrants the outlay. He is one
of the most skllful men in the country, and
is daily performing miraculous cures of the
most terrible diseases that no man can &C.
count Tor. All afflicted will do we'll to consult
him at Merchants Exchange, Dexter, Maine.
