The New Cincinnati Bridge.

The Pittsburgh Commercial says
the latess argument Of the Cincinnati
bridge builders is that the new bridge
will make that city the head Of navi-
CATION by cutting off everything above.
The Commercial rightiully says this
is a bad argument to furnish Louis
vile and other points on the river be-
low Cincinnati. Evansville is think
ing seriously of building a bridge, one
Of these days, to conoeot its northern
AMI southern railroads, and if it is
unders,o odsthat the navigation of the
Ohio is of only secondary or minor
importance, it will materially affect
the cost of the enterprise. Once it is
understood that the cost of bridge
building will not be made to depend
upon keeping the navigation Of the
river entirely free, no time will be
lost in making Evansville the head of
navigation by constructing a bridge
across the river at this point.

OrOp Items.

The farmers in this county have
not fully entered upon the work oil
gathering corn; but the sharp frosts
of the past few days will put it in fine
condition for that work. The crop
in this section is almost universally
a fine one.
The growing wheat, in this aud ad-
joining counties. is reported to be
doing well. The breadth of land
sown is fully up to the average.
Few contracts have as yet been
made for hogs, and the packing sea-
son will hardly commence here for
ten days or two weeks. We give, in
our Commercial Column to-day, the
latest quotations from other cities.
CoRN.-The farmers are very busy
just now gathering corn. The late fine
weather has given them a fine oppor-
tunity for that work. The corn is
abundant throughout all this section
of country.-Terre Raute Gazette.
The corn crop in this vicinity is be-
ing rapidly gathered. The yield is
unusually large, and the quality A

New corn is offered at thirty cents
bushel. Some persons say it can be
bought for twenty-five cents in a week
or two-Petersburgh Press.
Corn sells at from twenty FIVE to
thirty cents per bushel here.-1eTre

WHARF.-The weather for some
days past has been glorious. which,
together with fine rains of late. makes

LAKE CITY, FLORIDA, Oct. 81
Advices from Cardenas state the loss
of life in that city by the hurricane,
quite small, but the destruction of
property is very great. All tho ware
houses are destroyed, and a majority
of vessels in port at the time, were
dismasted and wrecked. No names
have been received. The loss will
reach a million dollars. AS far as is
known no lives were lost from the
American vessels, either at Matanzas,
or Oardenas. Five men were arrested
at Matanzas for stealing property ez-
posed by the hurricane, court martial
led and shot.

The Retiring Auditor.

The Courier of Sunday, contained
a more shameless attack upon Victor
Bish, tie retiring County Auditor,
than any which previously appeared
in that paper. This last assault was
entirely unproVoked, and exhibited
the meanest malice. Many of its
statements are without foundation,
and its insinuations against his patri-
otism, because of his membership in
the Home Guards, could be rotorted
with especial force against some of
the Democratic officials it so delights
to praise and honor. It's assertion
that Victor Bisch charged the County
eleven thousand dollars for issuing
orders for the relief of soldiers fami-
lies, is, we are assured, a malicious
SANDER.
Victor Bisch was Auditor of Van
derburgh County during the most
eventful period in its history. That
he was an efficient officer no one has
ever called in question, so far as we
have ever heard. His Office accounts
have always been we'll kept and he
has been ready to respond to every
call for an exhibit of his affairs. He
has been repeatedly called upon to
respond to investigations set on foot
by those who alleged that he was tax
ing money in violation of law, yet in
every case his opponents have failed to
make case against him. People are
more apt to discuss and remember a
mans short comings, if he has any,
than his good actions. So the hue
and cry against Mr.. Bisch has caused
a great many to overlook the great
value he has been to the County in
his position as Auditor. We affirm
that it is susceptible of proof that
Victor Bisch, by his skill and shrewd
ness In getting our appraisements of
real estate largely reduced on two oc-
casions, saved to the people of the
county thousands upon thousands of
dollars which they would, otherwise,
have been compelled to pay into the
State Treasury. The Courier takes
particular care never to speak of
these services. Citizens who have
more of the spirit of fair play within
their composition can not so soon
forget them. With all of the
Courier's bowling about enormous
sums distracted from the County
Treasury by Victor Bisch, it can not
deny that the rate Of taxation in Van
derburgh County has been lower
than in the counties Immediately
surrounding her. This fact we
have demonstrated, time and again,
and it has never been successfully
contradicted. 1t was, in short,
a state of affairs which Mr..
Bisch's predecessor in Office said
could not be accomplished. He in
sisted that the people of Vanderburgh
County must expect to pay higher
taxes than the people of the sur
rounding counties, which were not
carrying on the same system of i'm
provements.
1t is only by comparing results
with the cost, that we can properly es-
innate the value of a public officer.
Some men in Office would be dear at
one-half the cost OF others, filling the
same position. When we compare
Mr.. Bisch's services to the county,
with what the latter has paid him for
the same, no we'll posted business
man can say that he has been an ex-
pensive officer to the people of the
county,

night from the south and east. TIE
water of the lake is higher than at
any time during this season. The tug

morning, off Sturgeon Point. The
crew was saved by the tug Compound.
Captain Davenport, Of the Harrison,
was taken from the water after his
tug boat had sunk. A schooner, sup
posed to be the VIM. Kelly, is ashore
off Windmill Point. The crew can
be seen hanging to the rigging. A
life boat has gone to their rescue.
The schooner James Platt, which,
left yesterday for Chicago, has re-
turned in distress with all her sails
split. 1t is feared that great damage
has been done to shipping on the
lake.
