to become a candidate for Congress for the
State at large under the law giving Tennessee
an additional representative. The friends Of
Gen. Cheatham wish him to announce himself
for that position.
The scandal about Mrs Harreld and Andrew
johnson is pronounced false. Mrs. Harold
was the wife of warm friend of Mr.. johnson
and an exemplary Christian The cruel and
unfounded report of her seduction drove her to

The MARGINAL WAY.-Nearly all the MEM
bers of the City Council, with the Mayor, City
Engineer, and some of the Directors of the
Portland & Rochester Railroad, made an in
spection of the Marginal Way yesterday after
noon. Some weeks ago the City Engineer re-
ported that the progress of the work was I'M
satisfactory, owing to the nature of the flats
for considerable distance on the line, the mud
being soft, almost liquid and without bottom,
so that the earth deposited, sank or slid off,
and that continuance of the work nnder such
conditions was throwing money away. He rec
commended that work be stopped under the
present contract, at least until thorough in.
vestigation could be made, and more favorable
means could be devised. At the last meeting
of the Council an order was introduced to dis
continue work in accordance with these SUCCESS
tions, but it failed to pass, some of the mem
bers urging that as the contract was in force,
damages to the city might follow for a breach
of the conditions, and suggesting that an in
yestigation and conference be had at an early
day. The terms of the contract provide for
filling in so many yards of earth at certain
price, and no more; but since the bad place re-
ferred to has been discovered the city has adopt
ed system of grilling, which looks feasible.
Piles are driven through the mud to hard bot
tom and cut off even with the surface On
these are laid lengthwise of the street stringers
which are bolted down. Across these grid
iron of logs is laid to hold the earth and OIL
the outer side timber bulk head is constructed
to protect the earth from the action of the tide
So far the plan seems to be successful Thi
system, however, is outside of the contract ant
increases the expense of the way. That par
of the road around the point of Munjoy is il
fine condition and is in an advanced state. TIL
contractors have already made abig cut through
the hill, and have out very large amount o
earth. The whole matter will come up for &C
ton at the next meeting of the Council, and
is to be hoped that some means may be devise
to complete this important work We hear
said that by reducing the width of the unfr
ished part of the street it may be built yer
