A RAILROAD BRIDGE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
The draw of the MOntclair Railroad bridge
over the Passac River, between Newark and Belle
yflle N j. was struck by lightning Saturday
morning and entirely destroyed. The last train
that passed over the bridge was Mt 71O p.

The Richmond Wing of the 10th has the 70

CFrom the alley NlrRlhl1h.I
The Richmond Wing of the 10th has the fol-
lowing sentences:
"And the man who calls himself Oonseryatlye,
but claims the right to be a candidate proughss
out by convention Of the party, places nimseii
outside Of the party"
vention there can be no organization, and we nay
add where there is no organiZation there can Dc
no party for party itself is association, eoopers-
tion, organization"
And again: "No member of the party has the
right to declare that he will not submit 70 tne
decision of a convention, and that he means 70 Do
a candidate in opposition to the nominee. When
apy Conservative takes that position he shows
that his own ambition and his own interests are,
in his own estimation, above the interests OIL the
Conservative cause"
This much in behalf of the most malignant
and proscriptive organization that ever existed
in this or any other Seate-the quintesence OF
sectional hate and party intolerance.
In the issue of the same paper two days after,
on the 18th, we find the following:
1.-THE American people have grown weary with
this incessant wrangling over the OF states
the relations Of races and the legitimate limits oi
the authority Of the General Government;
try demand attention, and If there Is never 70 oe
o conclusion Of party controversies as 70 tne Or
sendered to the self-seekIng politicians who are
the fomenters Of the discord, and the snip must
be allowed to drift upon the rocks while the ON.
GERS on the deck are squabbling over the accuracy
Of the chart" ..z
The septiments of the 10th were retailed Tor
State use: those of the 18th for national con-
sumption. The Conservative party of Virginia
is the author of the race issue-the color line
the white man against the black. 1t will To-
ment strife to-day for party benefit in the State
upon the same issue.
But the idea is not popular abroad, and
hence the Wing says of the Conservative
leaders:
"They are sick Of sectional agitation. They are
sick Of mere partisan politics. They are sick oil
seeing the substantial interests Of the country sac
ritced to the venal ambition OF desperate dema-
Ropues, who would willingly wreck the Republic
for the sake of securing place and power Tor them
selves.''
What TRANSPARENT political juggleryl

tETHE WASHING TON REPUBLICAN,, in reply to
an article in the Times, says It never doubted
Fftzhugh Lees sincerity and acknowledges
that he once dined at the same hotel-table with
Pinchback without the impairment of his ap-
petite or gentlemanly demeanor. That jour
nal, however, thinks that Mr. Lee and all of
his class are mot sufficiently influential with
the turbulent elements Of Southern society to
restrain them from the commission of crime
This may be. The most loyal and patriotic
men in the North fail to SO far control the
turbulent elements in this section as 70 pre-
vent the commission of crime. Indeed, very
many of the loudest leading patriots in this
part of the country, as well as in Washington,
are themselves wholly not free from ac-
cusation.'' Philadelphia Times.
This paragraph contains virtual admis-
sion of the weakness of the Times position
that the condition of affairs in the South
does not require remedial measures. be-
cause it Immediately suggests comparison
between the manner in which criminals are
treated in that section and in the North.
When the turbulent elements in the min
ing regions of Pennsylvania broke out in
open insurrection the State authorities re-
sorted to extreme measures and succeeded
in ouelling the rioters. Their leaders were
indicted, and in due course of time will
suffer punishment for their crimes. In the
South where the turbulence has been ten
fold more violent, where murder and rapine
have been and viii again be rampant and
where political prescription Is regarded by
certain classes as duty, if not virtue, no
efectual effort is made either to detect or
punish the guilty parties. In Pennsylvania
the inspiration Of the trouble Is found In
the antagonism of misguided labor and
greedy capital, while in the South it re.
suits from deep-seated and reasonable an
tipatby to the results of the war. The
former is local in lis influence; the latter
widespread and sectional.

THE FAHILIsTERE.

The Famihstere will to-day be found
furthertr treated of on another page, in a letter
which has not few striking features, both
ofstyle and matter. In this letter our cor
respondentreaches point which some read
ers perhaps would have desired her to arrive
at before. But when, at first, we suggested
that she give US the pith of the matter only,
Miss Stanton replied that, judging from her
experience with popular audiences, she
suspected our readers "would not take
"kindly to Concentrated Familistere' alone,
" but would prefer to be led gradually to the
" consideration of great reform" People
are not inclined to take even sugar-coated
pills, though administered for their relief.
On the whole, then, perhaps she was right;
for the letters have been widely commented
on for their brave general thought, and
skillful rhetoric, as well as the important
subject they mainly discuss.
1t cannot be denied that Social Palace,
such as she outlines would be great acces-
sion to the Capital of the mightiest Repu6-
lie; and the plan by which abundant money
to build it might be raised is not only
original and ingeniously presented, but
business like. Some legal objection may
possibly exist to the direct action of Con.
gress in the matter, ss things now are. We
have not the time to-day to examine the
question. But genius is never wanting to
find way to realize any grand and good
political or social scheme, in harmony with
civil law. There seem to be no objections
to life in the Familistere at Guise which
would not apply with equal propriety to
residence in any city block. All the de-
sirable privacy of families and. individuals
is there observed. Life there is neither
religious nor social Communism. Free
dom of opinion and expression is cultivated
and honored, etc But it appears that
there are moral advantages incident to a
life of the most profitable and convenient
physical economies, with which ''outside
barbarians'' have had no opportunity to
acuuaint themselves. These and other
matters will be the topics of future CON-
munications, which will deal with the
''essence" Of the subject.

WHEN the war ended, and JEFF Davis
life was spared through the leniency of the
Republican party, it was not anticipated
that his name would ever be mentioned
again even among the faintest possibilities
of American politics. These anticipations
have been disappointed, as we have re.
peatedly proven; but the following out
spoken commendation of him as candi-
date for United States Senator, which We
clip from the Raleigh On: c. Neaos, is
simply unblushing:
EETHE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, saeeringly
commenting upon the possibility of Jefferson
Davis being returned as United States Senator,
saws: st would not be so strange as the posi-
biiity appeared fifteen years ago of the elec-
tion to the House Of North Carolina of a
thrice-soId slave, John A. Hyman.' True,
Radicalism made It possible for an ex-slaTe TO
be placed in a false position, to which neither
education nor qualification fitted him, and it
may be possible that the changing temper
of the times, which THE REPUBLICAN so much
deplores, may restore Jefferson Davis to the
position to which education and qualification
do eminently fit him"

the Salt Lake Tribune we reprint the fol-
loving extract:
'sThe Tribune extends cordial greeting to
Governor Emery on his arrival IN Zion to as
sumo the discharge of his difficult and delicate
duties, He brings ais family with him as g
man who purposes to stay among US, and this
we accept as an indication of his intention TO
do right and of his manliness to stand by his
record. He has divided community to rule
over, and Hamlet's caution to 0phelia viii
come in with appositeness: T'n give thee this
plague for thy dowry, be thou as chaste as
ice-as pure as snow-thou shalt not escape
calumny.' But he has one safe rule OF con-
duct to guide him, simply to execute the law
without fear or favor, and to cast his IN
fiuence on the side of morality. His Excel
lency starts out right; he enters Utah without
fuss or parade, takes up his abode at Gen.
tile hotel and keeps his own counsel. In the
honest performance of his duties, Governor
Emery will have a staunch and loyal support
in the 7i-ibUze. He is not unacquainted with
the situation in Utah, and hence will see the
necessity of caution. His political record
shows him to be man of integrity, firmness
and generous impulses, such qualities as may
be trusted to keep him right in Utah or else
where. This journal, representing the non
Mormon sentiment in Zion, asks nothing OF
Governor Emery that his manhood would not
approve. We only ask him to be true to Ameri-
can institutions, and to engage in no Quixotic
attempt TO harmcnize the two opposing ele-
ments. A vigilant watch kept upon the
fagitious doings of the priesthood, and strict
enforcement Of the law will soon defeat the
Vaccinations of the few score bigots who
plunder and oppress the community. When
their usurped misrule shall be overturned, the
followers of the Church will become loyal and
law-abiding citizens, and all cause of discord
will then be removed. Let him hold these
men in check, and shape his administration
with a firm hand; he will then be respected by
all classes, and his craftsmanship will be re-
warded with success. In short, let him steer
a course exactly opposite to that pursued by
his predecessor, Bishop Axtell, and he cannot
fail to come out right. All depends upon eau
tion and irmness-let him beware Of mis-

Gen. Boynton, Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, has most effectually
used up Gen. Sherman, who in the attempt
to write up his own career has admirably sue
ceeded in exposing his own weakness as a
general. Boynton knows what he is writing
about, and the soldiers of the West will in
dorse him.-ISdaGr,Sky Register.
General Boynton's letters have all been
reproduced in THE NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN, and have proved to be exceedingly
interesting TO the majority of our readers.
Their chief merit resides in the fact that
they embody solid facts, carefully col
lected from the official records, to which
their accomplished author has had free ac-
cess. 1t is to be hoped that he will soon
issue them in book form.

POLITICAL. CONTRIBUTIONS.

So much is being written and said just
now regarding the subject of political as
sessments," so-cslled, in the several De-
partments that few words in explanation
of the actual condition of affairs may not be
amiss. In the first place, no assessment of
any kind has been made and none will be
made. That method of raising money for
campaign purposes belongs alone to the
Democratic party. The Union Republican
Congressional Executive Committee some
time ago issued circular invitation to
Office holders in this and other cities to
subscribe funds for the use of the party, to
the success of which they owe their ap-
pointments-only this and nothing more
The statement that the circular contained
an assessment Of one per cent. on salaries
is untrue; but it was believed that those
who were able and desired to contribute
anything would willingly give not less than
ten dollars. This sum was selected be-
cause it was deemed imprudent and per-
haps unjust that any smaller amount should
be mentioned, and further because it was
not intended that messengers, laborers, or
other Government employees whose sala-
ries are small should be called upon for
anything. Under no circumstance has any
one been coerced by threats or intima-
tions, and no record for use in the way of
future intimidation of those who decline to
subscribe has been made as intimated by
the Opposition. The collectors are pro-
vided with lists of the names of
the employees of the several bureaus, on
which they note the amount subscribed by
each person, the absence of others, and the
action of those who decline to subscribe.
These lists are necessary to show the COM
pleteness of the work of the collectors and
as precaution against fraud. They have
not and they will not be used for any other
purpose. 1t is hoped and believed that the
civil service employees Of the Government
will sufficiently appreciate the gravity of
the situation to do all that is in their power
for the benefit of the party without further
appeal. There is nothing irregular or i'm
proper in this method. No one will deny
that money is needed for the legitimate
expenses of political organization the
same as 1t is for the support of churches or
charitable associations. But the proceed
ing needs no defense at our hands. Those
who find fault with it either do so because
they misunderstood the facts. or desire to
discourage subscriptions because they know
the result will be to the benefit of the
Democracy.

Gov. TILDEN, Of New York, began the
war against the canal ring with a great
flourish of trumpets, and dropped it as
soon as he discovered that further exposures
would inculpate certain fellow-Democrats.
Lieut.. Gov. Dorsheimer, acting Governor
during Tilden' summer recreations at Long
Branch, has been called upon to take the
matter up where his superior left of, but
thus far has turned a deaf ear to all such
appeals. The truth is the Democrats are
always desperately anxious to crowd things
when they discover Republican to be
guilty of any misdemeanor; but when their
own OK is about to be gored they are as
dumb as a craven image.

CURIOUS people are wondering whether
Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana, will take the
stump for the soft-money Democrats in
Ohio, or the hard-money Democrats in
Maine; but cynical people suggest that
his physicians have prohibited him from
making any active mental effort during the
present campaign. He hasn't opened his
mouth since the Mecklenburg centennial
humbug, when 1t is supposed the cheers
for Hendricks, our next President, -
shocked his modesty so greatly that he has
since then hesitated about making any
appearance in public.

IGNORANCE and cruelty are the hand
maidens of the Southern Democracy. In
Texas, where the Democrats have full sway,
the public schools have been closed for soma
time, and now the charitable institutions
are beginning to suffer, the asylum for the

and the unfortunate inmates turned out
upon the mercies of the cruel world.

SAGAcIoUs PEOPLE begin to see in the
so-called railroad wars that the three
seaports of New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore will eventually induce their
respective railway lines to begin compe-
tition for the trade of the great West that
cannot fail to materially reduce the rates OF
through freights. Vanderbilt and Jay
Gould will favor New York, Tom Scott
Philadelphia and Mr.. Garrett Baltimore.
In the meantime those who live along the
lines of these great railways will suffer
through extortionate charges for way bust
ness of all kinds.
