DAVENPORT, May "a.
To the Editor OF The Argus
The annual examination of the school
conducted by the Sisters of Charity of the
b. Y. NJ. took place last week in the lower
room Of the neatly kept school building at
tached to the Academy of the immaculate
Conception in this city, beginning Monday
and terminating Friday evening
In attendance | noticed many Of our
prominent citizens, whose daughters are
educated at this establishment. There are
at present in the Academy over forty
young lady bOarders, from various
Northwestern States. while the day
school is filled with the daughters of the
best citizens of Davenport and Rock Island.
without regard to creed or nationality.
Boarders and day pupils were examined at
the same time, and 1t Is but truth TO say
that the answering Of the young ladies in
the various branches, which, besides Ordi-
nary common school studies, embraced
botany, history. philosophy, geometry, etc
was the best ever heard in a school room
in Davenport The graduating class of
- is especially deserving on account Of
proficiency in philosophy and the pleasure
and surprise Of all who were in attendance
Nll L ltAa. was greatly tlliduCtu bl Nttlll-
young ladies demonstrating theorems from
the first TO the fourth book in geometry.
and showing familiarity with the mimi
tia Of English history that surprised all.
A shining light of this class Is
Miss Mary Wilson, of Rock Isl
and, beloved alike by teachers and
pupils-and all regretted that she was
unavoidably absent on account of the i'll
ness of some of her family. The other
Young ladies are Misses. Brockitt, McCar.
thy, johnson, Mayer, Dolan. and Orendorfi
/ The essays read betrayed the care devoted
to that important branch Of education,
composition, one in particular, Trials Of
a school Girl, by Miss Anna Graham, Of
Davenport, being simply admirable in mat,
ter and the manner of recitation. The
Sisters are in the front rank as educators
1t was known that their school was a gooC
place to learn those manners necessary fol
a lady, and they have proven their ability
to impart a superior practical education.

rhe Rock River Bridges.

The foresight of Mayor Davenport in re-
gard to the Rock River bridges is made
more apparent every day. In 1862, when
he rebuilt the main bridge, he secured the
adoption of the Howe truss, and that
bridge is sound and good to-day In 1865
il became necessary to build three bridges
across the sloughs and he got a PROPOSE
ton from the Messrs Boomer to erect Howe
truss bridges for $4,000. This was the
same sum bid by Reynolds, Saulpaugh &
Co., for the present style Of bridges. The
Reynolds bid was afterwards reduced to
$l5,50O thus securing the job, though
much against the efforts and wish of Mayor
Davenport 1t now turns out that the bot
tom timbers Of the three slough bridges
are much decayed and will all have to be
replaced. The style Of these bridges is
such that they collect mud, hay, straw &c,
upon the lower timbers, and thus rot much
faster than the other style Of bridge Mr..
Davenport has had them cleaned off and
examined and finds that many of the tim
beers must be replaced in order to render
them safe. By replacing the lower tim
Der, they may possibly be made to last a
few years more. 1t would have been
much cheaper to have put in the Howe
bridge in the first place, as recommended
! by Mr.. Davenport.

Verdict for Harvey q Iiver,sy.

The contract for building the abutments
and piers OF the government bridge here
was awarded TO Messrs Harvey& Liversey
in June, 1869, by Gen. Rodman. Work
was commenced in September of the same
year, was delayed by rise in October, stop
ped for several weeks by order Of the gov
eminent, for some cause or other, in Nov
ember, and commenced again in the spring
of 1870, after which it was prosecuted in
the midst of many difficulties real or in
vented, until October. 1870, when the
Secretary of War ordered Col Macomb TO
take the work out of the contractors hands
and do it himself At this time the shore
abutment, and pier No. on the Davenport
side were completed pier No. ? was more
than half finished, and the upper rest Of
the draw pier was in about the same stage
of progress. The third, fourth and fifth
piers were as yet untouched, although cot
fers had been sunk on two of them. The
Secretary of War alleged that he relieved
the contractors on account Of complaints of
unnecessary slowness in the prosecution of
the work The contractors held that all
the delay had three causes; high water,
the failure of the government TO supply
material as fast as wanted, and the inter
ference of government engineers at various
times. So the contractors entered suit
against the government, claiming damages,
we believe, to the amount of $4,000.
Decision in the case was reached in the
Court of Claims at Washington on yester-
day, judgment being rendered in favor of
the contractors for the sum Of Jorty-tteo
thousand three Aundred and sir dollars
The expenses in the case have been very
heavy-the testimony taken by [. Soon
missioners would fill volumes But all
these expenses the government must pay,
of course, Messrs. H. 4 L. having simply
to foot the bill of their attorneys.
1t is alleged by experienced contractors
that Harvey 4 Liversey never could have
built the substructure of the bridge for
their contract figures -tkeir bid was $50
900 less than that of the next lowest bidders
and that they would not have been sue
ceSsful had the government continued
them at the work. However, this was
their own lookout, and that Of the parties
who went their bonds. Anyway, it is
probable that they will come out few
thousand ahead now.-Dar. Gd=.

The strsets and Alleys.

Although Murdoch expended some
$50. 900 on account of street work last year,
il is a noticeable fact that very little work
was done on the streets in the way Of re-
pairs-nearly all the work being land out
in filling at various points, aud a good deal
Of it very badly expended In consequence
Of this, Mayor Davenport found the streets
in very bad condition and has been
obliged to expend much more than it was
expected would be necessary. He has been
fortunate in securing very earetuland com
petent street supervisors and they seem to
be doing their work well The streets are
now in very good condition in the most FIRE
queuted parts of the city, aud everything
will be done consistent with good economy
to keep them in repair throughout the city.
The alleys, too, are generally in good
condition. Some few need cleaning, and
the Marshal will probably be obliged to
have some of the dilatory ones ined-and
keep on filming them until they comply
with the requirements of the law
