BRIDGE TO BE REBUILT.

SEALED PROPOSALS TO BUILD A TR USS
- Bridge on the site of the old one, Of go
feet spans over the main stream, benches to
be set on piles, and the truss-work on the east
side of the stream to be in spans of 20 feet
each. One and One-fourth round iron to be
used in all bolts, of which there is supposed
to be enough in the wreck. False caps to be
used on the four main benches. Double bolts
in foot of each brace. All sound flooring and
timber of express, or heart pine may be used
in rebuilding said bridge, except in the main
spans, which must be all new and Of long
leafed heart pine.
The bridge will be two feet higher at the
east end than the old one, with an apron of
thirty feet projecting over the turnpike to
ascend to the level over the brick abutment,
when this level will be maintained to the west
bank of the river, which will bring the top Of
the cep sill eleven feet below the present top
sill on the west bank. 1t will be seen by this
that the bridge will be eleven feet lower than
the old one and on perfect level from bank
to turnpike.
These general lens are given in order that
bidders may know what the Board will con-
sider
Plans and specifications will accompany
each bid, describing the size of timbers pro-
posed to be used.
The lumber must all be sawed.
All sealed bids accompanied with speelhca-
tions will be received up to Tuesday, the sec
ond day of November, 1875, directed to Cham
cery Clerk, Jackson, Miss, and marked Bids
for Bridge over Pearl River"
The Board reserves the right to reject any

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-12-21

AFTER the holiday recess, when the bad
temper epgeudered by the committee APP
pointments has somewhat subsidized, the
real work of the session will begin in the
Housr. Messrs. Lamar, of Mississippi !;
Ben. Hill, of Georgia, and other members
of like kidd ey, backed up by ex-Confede-
rate Postmaster General Reagan and ex-
Confederate Vice President Stephens, will
begin to unfold their schemes for the re-es-
adjustment of the Confederacy within the
Union, and the Northern doughfaces will
fall into line, to obey the orders OF their
superiors. The condition of affairs that
prevailed at the beginning of the war will
be restored, and. so far as the majority in
the House can accomplish it, Congress will
assume an attitude of direct antagonism 10
a loyal Administration. In this way the
Centennial year of American independence
will be ushered in. What a spectacle!

only natural that some anxiety should per-
wade the community as to the character of
those who for the next two years are. in a
great measure, to be the arbiters Of their
fate
On the whole, it does not seem to us that
the list of committees harmonizes exactly
with the buncombe resolution passed by
the House few days since with great
unanimity against subsidies, internal i'm
provements, and the like. However, we
shall see what we shall see.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-12-21

The selection of so many unknown per-
sons to be chairmen of the House commit
tees demonstrates Ethe weakness Of the
majority party in that body palmer than
anything else possibly could. Mr.. Speaker
Kerr is certainly to be pitied. He had no
timber to begin with of any account and
the little that he did have was 30 sadly
tinctured with political Wood-rot that he
was compelled to build with unseasoned
material. Of course, his selections are un-
satisfactory; but it is evident that he tried
not to introduce too much of the Confede-
rate element into the chairmanships, and,
of course, 1t is further evident that he
failed

Mr.. HOLMAN, as chairman of the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds,
will disappoint no one. His character
istic inclinations in the direction Of econ
omy are well known, and will
serve TO warn those who may be inter-
ested in the business of the committee that
the closest scrutiny will be bestowed upon
their propositions. L is one of the best
appointments, and about the only judicious
one, made by Mr.. Speaker Kerr, but when
the average Democratic member comes be-
fore Mr.. Holman with q proposition for an
appropriation and the old flag" with q
public building for it to float over, it is not
improbable that little Democratic bias
phemy may ensue.

Mr.. FERNANDO WOOD did all that he
could to elect Mr.. Kerr to be Speaker, and
has been rewarded with the second place on
Ways and Means. The old gentleman
was very angry at this unexpected appre
citation of his merits and demonstration of
Mixers ingrstltude, but finally swallowed
his grief and reported to Mr.. Morrison for
duty. Before doing so, however, he in
quired, Who is Morrison7''

man of acknowledged ability; but, as he
does not possess a national reputation, his
selection was somewhat unexpected. In
fact, two thirds of the House did not know
of his existence before reading the brief
sketch of his career in Yesterdays Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN. That he will make
good chairman as regards close atten-
ton to duty no one will doubt Those
who know Col. Morrison well are OF the
opinion that the selection is good one.
He is not a snowy man, in the sense OF
being fluent speaker, but is distinguished
for good, sound, practical business sense.
