from the Seneca Nonpareii


LAST winter it was announced with great
flourish Of trumpets that A;chison Was 10
have railroad bridge across the Missouri
river, and that the King Bridge Company
vas TO build the structure. The company
made the contract in due form, but now
wishes 10 receje from it, and lis excuse
for doing 90 is the fact that it has b,en III:
able to dispose Of its bonds, and consequent
Iy has no; the amount of money necessary to
proceed with the structure We are not sur
prised that this affair has resulted in this
manner, when We consider all the circum-
stances connected with il. The KING Bridge
Company has reputation which will admit
of considerable improvement be ore it can
command the entire confidence Of the peo-
ple and of business men, and the manner
iu which that company broke lis faith
with tie town of lola and removed lis shops
TO Topeka after the people Of lola had voted
money to the company on the condition that
the shops should be located there, will hard
" impress any one that the concern is strict
" reliable. Ex-senator Pomeroy is presi-
dent of the King Bridge company, and the
report which was circulated during the sena-
torisl canvass last winter to the effect that
the Christian st,iesman had signed the con-
tract for building the A;chison bridge was
doubtless one Of his electioneering lodges,
and nov that such reports are no longer of
use TO him. politically, the company Of
which he is chief officer wishes to cancel Il e
contract then made. Atchieon has no brifg',
ana no definite plans concerning one have
vet been made, but such . city cannot long
remain without one. Political demagoeu~s
will never build BRIDE for Aichison, and
in order to secure that needed structure the
management of il must be PLACED in the
hsude of competent business men.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
ST. LOUIS, March 1.-The Temple, in
which the Congressional Convention is held
to-day. is handsomely decorated with flags
and banners and shields bearing the names
of all the States of the Union, all hung from
the railing Of the gallery. The stage is slab-
orately embellished with flowers and green
plants in bloom, the whole presenting very
beautiful appearance.
The Conference was called to order at hall
past twelve O'Clock by the Hon. Henry 7.
Blow, who stated that on consultation with
gentlemen from all parts of the country, il
had been decided that Mayor Brown, rs Ex.
ecutive of the city of st. Louis, should pre-.
side over the Conference, and that the mem.
bers of The Looal Executive COMMITTEES
should serve as the other officers Of the Con.
ference.
Mayor Brown then took the chair, and
introduced Bishop Bowman, Who invoked
the Divine blessing on the Conference.
Mayor Brown then delivered an address in
which, after bidding the Congressman pres.
ent most cordi,l welcome on behalf Of the
whole people of St. Louis. and one which
he hoped would make the memory Of theiI
visit pleasant, he said it Was nc: our purpose

ANOTHER SURPRISE.

SAN Francisco, May 12.-Reports ty
carrier just received from the lava beds state
that The scouting party, under Cspt. Has
brouck, has been heard from. Capt. Has
brorck reports that the party WIS attacked
by a party Of Nodes and four soldiers and
one Warm Spring Indian wee Killed. and
six soldiers and ere Warm Sprin: Indian
wounded. The attack wa. so sudden the
troops were taken by surpri--. Capt. Jack
and band rode within 100 yard. Of cur
camp, and ali difmoun.et a:ii charged into
camp, firing into the herd and guard. The
mrs. voIley s,ampeded the herd aud they left
for camp, and while the men were getting
under arms ,heI MoGo, gaze voley after
volley. Capt. Jack i.aI On :i,r a't:re of
Gen. Candy, and took = position as j; &c was q
BrisaSier General. Hasb;o;.ck rallied his
command and charged upon them in body.
The Modes retrea,ed under the charge, and
were driven into the woods, scattering in all
directions. Several volleys we're fred upon
them, but it is not known whether any were
killed. The troops succeeded in capturing
twenty FIVE horses belonging to the Modocs.
When the last courier left Gen. Davis camp,
the troops were between the lava beds and
the Modocs, who we're entirely out Of their
lava stronghold. The artillery will be NOV
ed to the side of the lake to prevent the
Modocs from returning to the lava beds. and
BALANCE of the troops will Immediately

them. 1t is the opinion of Capt. Hasbronck
that the Modocs are almost entirely
out Of ammunition. There were
thirty three Modocs engaged No
squass were seen during the fight or by the
scouts on the following night.
There ia strong suspicion that Captain
Jack is receiving aid from some unknown
party. 1t appears strange how he got six
boxes OF center primed cartridges, a. he did
not capture any fiom our forces, II is Ger

place on Wednesday afternoon. The body

Perhaps nothing has more clearly shown
the disproportion between the number OF
men and women in New England than the
fact that one hundred and sixty-two women,
of Lowell, Mass, have petitioped the Leg
is!.,ure Of that State to make Polygamy lie
gal in such caaes where the consent of the
f;rst wife has been obtaiccd. The Cleye-
land Herald thinks better statute than thai
would be one compelling tie miserable, sell
6,h, luxurious and useless bachelors of thai
State as we'll as others TO marry. PERHAPS
this could he done by putting heavy tax on
bachelors over certain age and apPropri-
ating the proceeds to single women having
10 depead on their own labor for support.
Another disability for bachelors might be
Acknowledgement. Something will have to
be done sooner or later says the Herald to
cure the growing evil Of caiiGScr, Tor which
men are principally responsible, and the he
ginning nigh, az xe!l be- made now rs in the
future.
The foregoing suggestions do not eananaie
from 4 thoroughly posted reiormer. III the
real truth was known, We believe it would be
sbavn that the old bachelors whom the Her
aid decries, contribute q greater proportion
of their earnings 10 actual support OF woman
kind than the same number Of married men.
The bachelors perhaps are promiscuous in
the bestoual of their affections, investing
their money most likely where it will do the
mot good, but it does not follow necessarily
th.t money 80 expended is used for iicen'
tious or demoralizins purpose. Better per
init man to live single all his life, and give
away iu.t what his knowledge of right. and
his better nature prompts him to. than force
him into marriage to evade taxation, or to
secure all the rights Of citizenship. Besides
the burden Of reform which the Herald col .
templates ought not to oppres the masculine
creature. That marriages are not 20 nur,er-
ous q formerly is the fault of womanaind.
Men aspire 10 welded bliss the same as ever,
but il requires vast outlay of money now
a-dsys to take bride and establish her in a
home after the fashion of her sis,ers. Mar
riaee for money ia no better than polygauy,
and polygamy isn't much better than prosti-
tuition, and yet half the weddings of the Pc
Rod are contracts enbodying q cssh consid-
GRAFTON. 1t would be better to abolish the
divorce laws and permit men and women to
seuarate IL welded life Vas obnoxious t.
chem, than make new laws compelling per-
sons 10 we'd. shen they wanted to live singly.
Noo-inserfessnce with the lava of divorce
and marriage a. they nov stand would Be
hetter than either. Social integrity and
Common sense are needed more in society
for the welfare Of vomankind, and the ele-
yaiiou Of mankind, Than anything else.
