Two TrestIe bridges washed Away

The tremendous outpouriDg of rain that
visited our city on Sunday afternoon was
not confined to this immediate locality.
From various sections adjacent we learn
that it fell in binding sheets, deluging the
earth and swelling the streams and rivu-
lets in an almost Incredibly short space of
time. On the Nashville and Northwestern
Railroad, near Camden, ten miles beyond
the Tennessee river, two short trestle
bridges we're swept away. The train was
so delayed that it was considerably behind
time yesterday. The bridges were repaired,
however, and in the afternoon the cars
were running on the regular schedule

Economy in New York.

The Democratic party came into pow
er with great professions Of retrench-
ment. During the year 1859, they
furnished an evidence of their frugality.
The State Prisons give fair test of the
economical purposes. In 1858, according
to the exhibit of his Excelfency, the ex-
penses of the prisons of the State
amounted to S932, ,2l2. 20, and the earn
ings toS499, 127 ID, a deficit of S4SS, ,OS4. .9s.
The report of the Comptroller for 1869
shows disbursements from the Treasury
for prison purposes of S1,095, $751;
80. an increase over 1868 of S16S, ,619.19,
while the earnings were S4S9, ,429.S7, a
decrease of S9,697.35 The entire def
cheney for the year is S644. 1905, an in
crease over the deficiency of 1858 Of
S211, ,7s5.O7.
Two hundred thousand dollars, and
demoralized prisons-in other words
mutiny and extravagance-are the price
of Democratic rule. The evil is deemed
SD iperadicable that constitutional
amendment is proposed by Governor
Hoffman, or some other equally thor
ough remedy, in order to effect its cure.
Yet firmness, decision, competency, IS
all that is really necessary, much as the
prison system might be improved.-Al-

The "Scalpers is the name assumed
by the anti-ring Democrats in New
York city. They have been largely re-
inforced of late by adherents of Tam
many, and the new city charter pro-
posed by Mayor Hall, and now pending
in the Legislature, it is said will be
surely beaten. \ new charter is pro-
posed abolishing the Commissioners and
iegislating Hall out of Office, by new
election for Mayor in the spring, with
either Andrew II. Green, of the Central
Park Commission, or Senator Creamer
as the candidate for Mayor. New York
has long been famous for its Significant
uolitical nomenclature. This year the
contending parties are known as the
"Hay-loft and cheese press wing and
the 'Scalpers," the one indicating the
rural, and the other the city opponents
of Tammany.
