Public Meeting.

In view of the wretched condition Of
that structure known as and frequently
called 'sThird Street Bridge" in Cheboy-
gan village, and of the general apathy
pervading the community, touching the
Importance of securing the construction
of a new bridge in its place, and that
there does not seem to be any concerted
mode of action in the premises, it is
thought advisable to call public meet
ing to take into consideration the advisa-
bility of making the proper effort to Sc
cure the building of a new bridge across
the Cheboygan river where the old one
now stands.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, would
urgently request that the citizens of Che
bOygan county meet together at III. A.
TOdd's hall on Saturday evening, August
18th, at ~ O'Clock. for the purpose of
considering the matters above mentioned.

Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-08-05

The TRIBUNE has referred a number
of times to the necessity OF road rum
ming west on the line between towns 81
and 3S, range 2 west, five or six miles,
then south about one mile, thence west
erly through portion of town 81, range
8 west. There is quite settlement be-
ing made in that neighborhood, and the
interests of the county, and especially of
the town of Inverness, demand that they
should have road by which they may
have an easy access to the village. A
communication from one of the residents
in that section complains of lack of in
terest on the part of some of the officials
of the town of Inverness, and charges
them with neglecting that portion of the
town. We know no hing in regard to
the case, but hope that if such has been
the case that it will be remedied. If our
county is to be settled rapidly, every en-
couragement must be given to those who
come and locate land and go to work inn
proving them; and one of their greatest
necessities is that of roads, and the town
which .neglects to do all it can to provide
roads whereby its citizens can conve-
niently reach a market, is certainly neg
lectful of its duties, and is injuring the
interests of the county. 1t is to be hoped
that the road mentioned may be speedily
opened. We would ask a careful peruSal
OF the communication from tone of the
sufferers" who knows from experience
how it is. A

The Congressional Candidate.

The Republican Congressional conven-
ton of the Eighth district, of which Che
boygan county forms portion, met /; {
Saginaw last Tuesday and put in nomin-
alton c. G. Ellsworth, of Montcalm coun-
ty, as the candidate to be supported by
the Republican party of this district fer
their representative in Congress. Mr.
Ellsworth is a gentleman of undoubted
ability, and is eminently qualified for
the position, and will reflect credit on
the district and state at la-ge as repre-
sentative. The members from this district
heretofore have been mostly from lake
ports, and there has been some complaint
in regard to their showing partiallity for
their own immediate locality to the det-
riment of other portions of their district.
Whether or not there has been any cause
for these complaints We are not prepared
to say. The present representative, Mr..
Bradley, we believe, has endcavored to
faithfully serve his constituents, and has
filled the position satisfactorily, and with
great credit to himself. Mr.. Ellsworth
being from the interior of the state will,
we think, be more apt to look upon the
demands of the lake ports without show
ing any partially, and work for them as
their respective interests may require,
thus doing justice to all alike. Mr.. Els
worth will undoubtedly receive the full
vote of the party in the district, and be
successfully elected.

The Alb, sintan War.

CAIRO, EaYPr, Jnne 20.-The recen'
accounts Of the alleged defeats of the
Egyptians b the Abysinisns are officially
contrsdlcted. The war terminated on
the 9th OF last March and no fighting
has occurred since King John of Abysin'
ia sent letter on the l1th of March to
the Khedive desiring to- nego-
tiste, and about the 9th of June
the Khedive sent Colonel Ali Bey,
fully empowered to Adows, where
King John has been for the past month.
The greater portion of the Abysslnisn
army is now disbanded, the remainder
being ordered 10 the province of Mogh-
liz. where q revolt is in progress. The
Egyptian army is returning home, only
a few battalllons remaining on the 'front.'

THE pLArFORM AT sT. LOUIS.

The Cincinnati Enquirer lays down
three propositions that, according to that
paper, the people demand shall be inc9r-
porated IN the ST. Louis platform:
|. A demand for the prompt and uh
conditional repeal OF the Resumption Aet.
H. Opposition to any further contrsc
tion of the currency.
III. Abolition Of the National Banks
AS to the first, the Enquirer justly
claims that resumption in 1879, is ply
sicsl and tiEancsl impossibihty. Thai
even the late AMAsA WALKER, the
seyerest apostle OF hard-money, said that
Congress might rs well enact that the
transit of Venus or al eclipse of the moon
should occur on certain day named.
On the second, it assumes that there is
no doubt rs to the opinion of the people
of the country On that issue, well de-
fined az: is' lated, the people would vote
Overwhelmingly agains: further contrac-
ton OF the present volume OF the cur
rency.
And ON the third proposition it says, a
system Of corporations issues one half
Of our currency, receiving about twenty
millions OF dollars annually for accept
ing the loan of the Government faith on
which alone the credence in their eur
rency is based, is an obnoxious system
1t is dangerous monopoly; and it Is

as the conservator of the people cause, to

Mr.. j. ID. Dubois, in discussing the
probable cost of iron for the Elm Grove
railway, the other, day, spoke of new
process practiced in Pittsburgh, for
forming new rails out of old ones, for
narrow gusge roads, which greatly
cheapensthe expense. The process forms
the railway entirely from the old rails,
thus doing away with the cast OF the
heavy plate of new iron used in rerolling
under the old process, and at the same
time utilizing q much larger amount Of
the old rails. An important feature OF
the process is that the relative qualities
composing the different sections Of the
old rails are not disturbed, but trans
ferred TO the like sections of the
new rail. In the old process
the d;ierent qualities become all
mixed up, to the ietriment OF the new
rail Narrow gauge rails are usually
made to weigh thirty pounds to the yard,
and they have heretofore cost about 10
pr cent more to man ufacture than rails
Of 20 pounds, such as:are used on stand
ard gauge roads, because mill can only
turn out one-h the quantity of 30
pounds that it can of 60 pounds rails.
But the new process, we are told, re
verses this order Of economy, and is en-
abled to manufacture narrow gauge rails
al 10 per cent. less than large rails can
be made, thus reducing the cost Of mar
row gauge rails 70 per cent. :

FAIRMoNT, June 20, 1871

Editors of the Register.
Attorney General Matthews, who was
understood to be fine speaker and a
warm friend OF popular education, was in
vited to deliver the address before the
Normal Literary Society of our school
here last spring, before his nomination as
the Democratic candidate for Governor.
He accepted the invitation and filled his
appointment on last Saturday night. He
arrived here at 10 o'clock in the morning
and many of our citizens called upon
him during the day at the residence OF A
B. Fleming, Esq, whose guest be was.
The hall of the Normal school building
on Saturday night, was filled with the
intellect, youth and beauty of the colp.
try. Mr.. Matthews address was chasfe,
appropriate and came up to the expech-
tivn of the audience. 1t showed that the
subject was not new one to him. He
impressed upon the young gentlemen
who are preparing themselves for teach
ers or other learned professions the de,
cessity of studying virtue and industry, as
well as educating the brain. While
he eschewed everything of partiAhn
political character, he told them that "a
they would have charge of the atiairs.of
the country in few years, f they
wanted it to occupy the high position it
held when the government was adm in
istered by the pure-hearted patriots that
had framed it, they must cultivate the
virtues Of those mer.
After the conclusion of the program he
at the school house, the Farmont bs md
serenaded him IN front Of Mr.. Fleming
house. He was called out by the CROWD
that had assembled, and intr duced Iby
Mr.. Z. NJ. Dawson, when he made very
pretty and modest speech.
Mr.. Ghas Hedrick, our SecretarylO o.
State, was also called on, and made II
short address.
Mr.. A. Fleming was called out, Snd
made q few remarks, thanking the bSnd
snd the citizens for the honor they Dad
done him in thus conplimenting shis
guest, After partaking of some re-
fresbments, the parties dispersed t2taeir
homes
Mr.. Matthews has made very good
impression here He is a gentleman Of
fine personal appearance, good conver.
sstionalist, Of easy but Dig lied man
ners, and an eloquent and abb speaker.
Political friends and foes, both join in
his praise. With the ticket, of which h
is the head, and good local one, Mar
ion county will increase her Democratic
majority next fall. MARION.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.

We print elsewhere table OF the cleo
torsl votes, taken from the New York
Tribune, which shows pretty even bal.
snce between the two parties. To the
list of Democrats States, New
York, Indians and New Jersey should
be added, unless the party makes An un-
pardonabhe blunder at st. Louis. Two
years ago Gov. TILpEN carried New
York by $4,000 votes; and last yesr,
after bitter fgh. against the
ticket by powerful, wealthy and
corrupt canal ring, largely composed
OF Democrats, the party carried the State
by handsome majority. Both Indiana
and New jersey, voted Democratic at
the election Of 1874, and neither have
reversed that decision since. Yet the
Tribune classes all three of these States as
doubt ul, and justly SO rs matters now
stand. 1t will not be difficult for the
