THE NEW BRIDGE.

There is a great deal Of grumbling.
and considerable loud talk, about the
manner in which the contract for build
ing the new bridge over Railway ave-
nue. was given out by committee of
the Board of Chosen Freeholders No
bids were advertised for, but builders
were told to bid for stone, iron, or
brick structure, which was accordingly
done by a number of contractors.
When the bids were opened, the con-
tract was awarded to Mr.. David Wood
ruff, of this city, who bid for both
stone and brick. We understand that
the bidders are highly agitated over
the singular award, and one party in
this city positively asserts that when
the work is commenced, he will have an
injunction served, for he feels that the
whole thing is unfair. He says had he
known that the committee wished a
brick bridge, he would have made a bid
accordingly. As it now stands, he is
willing to enter into bonds to construct
the bridge, according to the plans and
specifications, for 50, 500 less than Mr..
Woodruff has agreed to do the work.
II this is all as is represented, we do
not see how the committee can proceed
with the work, especially if they wish
to do what is right and fair, and equita-
BILE. We expect to hear more about
this matter in day or two, when we
shall use our scalpel, and lay the whole
transaction as bare as it deserves to be.
We have no wish to see any one impos-
ed upon, and if there is anything wrong,
our readers may rely upon hearing as
much truth as we can get.

THE SPHYNx.-After years of waiting
it was before me at last. The great face
was SO sad so earnest, so longing, SO
patient. There was a dignity not of
earth in it's mien, and in its couLte
nance q benignity such as .never any
thing human wore. 1t was stone but
it seemed sentiment. Ii ever image OF
stone thought, it was thinking. 1t was
looking toward the verge of the land
scape, yet looking at notwithstanding
but distance and vacancy. 1t was look
ing over and beyond yerything of th-
present, and far into the past. 1t was
gazing out over the ocean of Time
over lines of century waves, which
further receding, closed nearer AMI
nearer together, and blended at last
into one unbroken tide, away toward
the horizon of remote antiquity Ii
was thinking of the wars of depart
ed ages of the empires it had seen
created and destroyed of the nations
whose birth it had witnessed, whose
progress ithad watched, whose annihila-
ton it had noted of the Joy and sorrow
the life and death, the grandeur and
decay, of five thousand slow revolving
years. 1t was the type of au attribute
of man-of faculty of his heart and
brain. 1t was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
wrought into visible, tangible form.
All who know what pathos there is in
memories of days that are accomplished
and faces that have vanished-albeit
only trifing score of years gone by
will have some appre citation of the
pathos that dwells in these grave eyes
that look so steadfastly back upon the
things they knew before History was
born-before Tradition had being
things that were, and forms that moved
in a vague era which even Poetry and
Romance scarce know of--and passed
one by one away and left the stony
dreamer solitary in the midst of IL
strange new age, and uneomprehended
scenes.
The Sphynx is grand in its loneliness;
it is imposing in It's magnitude it is
impressive in the mystery that hangs
over its story. And there is tLat IN the
overshadowing majesty of this eter-
nal figure of stone, with its accusing
memory of the deeds of all ages, which
reveals to one something of what he
shall feel when lie shall stand at last
in the awful presence of God.

THE New WHARvEs. The Board of
Chosen Freeholders yesterday went in
to committee of the whole, and con
sidered the subject Of the wharves.
docks, etc., petitioned for at the mouth
of Elizabeth creek, BY Mr.. Peter Bon
nett, owner of the land lying on the
southwest side, and bounded on the
east by Station Island Sound, for about
500 feet, running south.
Mr.. Josiah W. Baker, foreman OF the
Eizabethtown Steam Manufacturing
Company, gave valuable information to
the Board He was under the impress
sion that the proposed dock would be
beneficial to navigation, and Thought
its construction would tend to protect
the entrance to the creek from sedi-
mcnt, washed there by passing steam
ers. He said vessels drawing nine and
half feet of water had entered the
creek He was questioned by Messrs.
Thebaud and Morris.
Mr.. Morris produced map of Eliza
BEETHOVEN, designed 30 years ago, which
shows the mouth of the creek Mt that
time to have been about 500 feet wide,
but between the Entertainments of the
Central Railroad on the one hand, and
this petitioner on the other, it is pro.
posed to narrow it now to 1876 feet.
This map shows the creek at South
street to have been 100 feet wide, while
now it is but 10.
Mr.. E. G. Brown appeared before the
Committee. He favored granting the
license for the dock, as it would tend t.
benefit navigation.
Mr.. Miller, one of the Board, then
submitted resolution, giving the pc
titioner a license to construct the
wharves, ETC., according to the lines
drawn out on the map.
Mr.. Thebaud sprang to bis feet, am
said the resolution WAS entirely toe
vague and indefinite. The drawing.
mere scrawl, without name or authan
ticity, was no map at all. Il was g,sr-
hled. He admitted there were line.
enough scratched upon the paper. HC
felt that the Board could not be toe
careful in this matter. He could 40
vote for the resolution. unless the lin
its were positively specified, as tie
statute directs. There is no evidence
that any map has been filed. The con
tract must be made here
Mr.. Morris also spoke in opposition
to the passage of the resolution, ana
closed by insisting that the Board hal
no power or right to cede this yaluabl,
water front to private party.
