The Eastern Railroad Company have large
gang OF men at work upon the temporary
bridge which is to he put up in place of the
one burned. Supt Prescott has been here with
the engineers of the road. They have examine
ed the location, and telegraphed to certain iron
bridge manufacturers to come on and look over
the situation. They will probably present
plans for a first class iron suspension bridge.

Already city politics are being talked up,
and there is prospect that the Democrats and

Mayor Mcmillan will be reelected, however, as
the Republicans, and all the foreign vote, with
the exception of the ''rum party" which is
thoroughly dilapidated, are favorable to him,
and satisfied with the management of the
present year. Mr. McMullen has many Demo-
cratic friends also. Retrenchment and econo-

People hereabouts are beginning to see what

Current Notes.

The Albany Journal in noticing the rail-
road subsidy schemes before Congress, and
particularly that of the Southern Pacific IN
which the nation is asked to guarantee the
interest of $4,000, 900 of its bonds says s'The
Northern Pacific has for the time gone up
with terrible crash to its financial mana
gers. The Texas Pacific is now mostly on
paper and in. the minds of its projectors.
There it must remain for awhile longer as
neither public nor private capital is likely to
undertake its construction at present. So,
then. Mr.. Walker can hope for no encour-
agement TO his scheme, and the best thing he
can do is to stop urging it and save his
breath. The people are in no temper to
hear his appeals and Congress is aware of
the fact. No more railroad subsidies is their

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe writes to the
Boston Pilot about 'Irish servant girls"
expressing her lack of sympathy with the
anti Irish feeling, a1d saying of the servant
girls: Considering their youth, their mex
perience, their coming strangers into the
country, their separation from parental over
sight-their uniform purity and proprie.y of
conduct is certainly remarkable. As to hon.
esty, in estimating that trait Of Irish ser
wants, we must not expect superhuman vir

A kind, consistent, watchful, careful mis-
tress will keep her servants in the way of
honesty; careless or incompetent one
tempts them to fall.'' i
Mr.. Evarts, the classmate and friend of

against Gushing, is afraid Mr.. Waite has not

A "KETTLEDRUM."-At last we have 'sket-

dents have filed our souls with envy by their
description of "kettledrums." They all said
"kettledrums,' were to be the thing. That
''kettledrums'' were so and So Still not one of
these ready writer's ever averred that ''kettle-
drum had ever transpired to their certain
knowledge They contented themselves with
harping on ''kettledrums' If the expression be
admissible. But it makes TO difference now. i.

AS it could be to nothing else, it must be to a

indicated, chatted with the hostess, wore their
visiting toilets, and kept on their bonnets. The
entertainment was OF ices, salads, cakes, fruits
chocolate, coffee and tea, the last served from
a large urn in the centre of the table Young

RADICALISM AT THE SOUTH.
The Campaign in Al ALBANIA,

From a recent address issued by the
Democratic and Conservative execu-
tive Committee of Alabama, we select
the following just reflections upon the
course of politics in the South:
Radicalism, whatever it may have
been, Or may be in the Northern States,
has been in the Southern States, since
the war, the embodiment of everything
calculated, not only to offend reason
and decency, but to overthrow and to
prostitute all the higher moral stand
ards of human conduct, thought and
feeling by which private virtue is pro-
tected and the public safety is secured.
It has run riot in the remorseless per-
petration of every crime against free
dom and popular rights. On the false
preteNt of unfolding republicanism, it
has substituted the bayonet for the
ballot, to indicate elective results. In
several instances it has imposed gov
ernments by force on the people of
States composing an integral part of the
Union, in utter burlesque of the princi-
pies Of free institutions and the history
and provisions Of the constitution. 1t
has sought to perpetudte corrupt and
tyrannical power by using as governing
instrumentalities the most ignorant and
degraded clements of society. 1t has
not, in its reckless and arrogant domi-
nation, even paid q decent regard to
the opinions of mankind. At this very
moment it insists on governing three or
four States of the American Union
with disorderly assemblies of irrespon-
sible negroes and adventures farcically
called legislatures! 1t has pertinacious-
ly striven to reverse the natural social
order, and it has bankrupted many OF
our noblest, once best governed and
really most opulent commonwealth
1t has gradually brought the people OF
central and southern Alabama to the
very doors of starvation and misery,
and asserts no hope ola happier change
either for the present or future. From
the disastrous results of these grievous
wrongs, it is time to make a final, and
we trust, a successful effort to relieve
Alabama, or our social and political
organization must surely perish. Rad.
icalism has ruled the State almost with.
out obstruction, for nearly eight years,
and it has brought us indeed to a mis-
cradle plight.
