OF throwing a new railroad bridge across

RerieU of last evenings date, We find the
following paragraph:

are Ex-Governor Dennlson, Ben. T. Smith,
OF Ono, e. 4. GrIggs and e. W. SmIsh, OF
the |. b. d W., from UrbanA, and John
Allen, of New York city, President of the

said to be to consider the plan of building a

rumor says they met here to confer with

failed TO put IN an appearance. Coose

TEE EHRIG MURDER.-We make the follow.
ing extract from the Dss Moines REGISTER in
regard to Alcott and the Ehrig murder:
10 yesterdays Register appeared an srti-
Gle concerning the alleged murder of Mr..
Ehrig, in Davenport, October Z, 1869. The
article in question ives condensed from the
report OF the matter in the Davenport
Gazette, and accused Mr.. James Alcott, of
this city, of being the suspected murderer.
Since the publication of the article, MIR.
Alcott has called at this Office and req
us to give publicity to the following state
ment:
That the entire story of his guilt is With
out foundation in fact; that il originated in
the malevolence of man in Daven port
with whom he had personal quarrel; that
he Alcott) is an Odd Fellow, and was a.
the time Mr.. Ehrig was found dead, and q.
that time was q member of Rock Island
Lodge; that the woman referred to was his
wife then and is still, and that in evidenc q
OF that he has in possession the marriage
certificate, and that there are in Des Moines
three living witnesses to the marriage certi
cate that he remained in Davenport four
ave- aho hickcu MeFking
daily at his trade, and since then has twice
returned TO Davenport, never making any
attempt at conceHlment; that he has no
fears OF arrest, and proposes to remain in
Des Moines, following his usual voestion;
and ready at all times to answer 20 the
charge made BY the papers which have pub,
lished an RccoOnt of the matter.
The above is the statement Of the case of
Mr.. Alcott as he wishes it TO appesr. On
our own responsibility we can state that he
came here some months ago, and has. a,
different tImes, worked as a eompositor on
the Register. He is now in the employ o

A THRILLING ISCiDEST.-Thursday
mornings Davenport Gazette gives the fol-
lowing account Of a thrilling incident a. the
bridge the other day.
The single pieces of the top chord Of the
new bridge weigh ten thousand pounds
each. The way they have bsen raised to
position heretofore, has been Dy wrapping q
filth cham four times around the piece to
be elevated, when a crab gently lifted them
up with puiieys and wire rope tackle. Two
pieces go up at time. Late on Tuesday
afternoon, one of the pieces had been raised
almost to the height Intended, when the
inks IN the chain about 1t we're heard to
snAp. The men below fed from their place,
while those above could do little more than
stand aside and q wait the result Foreman
Archer, who was on another portion of the
bridge, ran to the scene OF terror, and saw
at g glance the cause Of the fright Links
three OF the coils about thu chord had
snapped in two, leaving that weight of i've
tons suspended by = single wrap OF ordinary
chain. II wouldn't do to lower the chord
Tor the impetus would be sufficient TO tear
the slight attachment asuuder. Archer
threw ropes 20 the men a. the top, aud three
Ui these persons clam bered to the sus pended
chord, pat The ropes around 1t, lsshed il to
the false WORK above, and thus relieved the
strain on the chain. Then the chord was
lowered, wire rope was substituted for the
chain, The pIsoe wss hauled up again and
pat IN position. Had that piece Of chain
broken. the false work beneath woald have
give away under it, and gone down, with a
crash 1t is the opinion Of Mr. Archer that
only the timbers directly under the chord
wou.t have been BROKEN, and ,hst The rest
Of the f"l-e work and the span would have
stood firm. Oilers di,1er with him, ana
think the whole span, WOOD, iron and all
would have gore down in ruin, Involving q
loss Of about so 600, aud the lives OF a
score OF Iasu. However, il is fortunate tina,
the links Of that remaining piece of chsia
hsd strength enough 10 allow this difference
Of opinion.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-12-21
ALI, RIGHT AGAIN,

1t has not been politics after ali that
depressed business in New Orleans, but
the want Of rain, which put a stop to
navigation on Red river Ouachita, Bayou
Teche and the various other streams which
bear the valuable crops of the interior to
our merchants, and thus render them
prosperous, and consequently happy. We
have commended for this view Of the case
all along; but their enforced idleness the
grumblers, and not a few sensible people
even, strenuously maintained was at
tributable to food of politics rather than
a drought of heavenly showers. But the
clouds at last gathered over the head
quarters Of the great highways Of travel
and traffic, and swelling the river currents
from their copiously charged bosoms, have
filed with hope and joyful expectation the
hearts of the steamboatmen, who have
been unavoidably inactive, and of mer-
chants who were left without orders or
consignmcnts from the same inevitable
cause. Old Red, the Ouachita and other
streams booming, and those great and i'm
Iortant classes in the composition of this
community have at once ceased to consider
t a question Of vital consequence whether
our political complications result in in
stalling Smith, Jones CT Brown in Office,
SO long as the incumbent does his duty
faithfully.
It will be seen, therefore, that while we
candidly admit that the Republican party
is blessed with Heavens approval in its
great Outstanding and progressive Ia
bors, we can not fairly be asked to assume
the responsibility for such hardships as
befall our people and which are traceable
directly to Him who controls the elements.
in ten days we prophesy that the grumb-
lers and soreheads i'll New Orleans will be
confined to that class solely whose fraud
ulent attempts to seize public Office have
so fortunately been defeated.
