with the statement that Mr. Scott the represen-

that John Sherman last winter assisted Richard
Smith, Ben ERgleston and others in raising
the Newport Railroad bridge, AMI thai Tom was the
champion OF the Bridge Company. And perhaps,
II has not been forgotten that sherman has been IN
antagonism with several railroad schemes, and has
favored the granting OF o charter Tor direct line
from Washington to New York. lie has also pro-
posed to charter the Cincinnati Southern Railroad
