has hitherto fallen to them. The spirit with
which the Irish rilcmen have entered into
the work Of selecting their team at this early
day shows that they arc determined to take

the organization and discipline Of their team

The --LATEST DIFFICULTY promises to cause
civil war in the Pacific Mail camp, for we
find two sets of the directors using their
utmost efforts to thwart each other in every
particular. 1t is alleged that, notwithstand-
, ing the fact that a regular meeting was
called, in accordance with the company's
bylaws. for the election of new Board to
fill the place of that of which the term expires
on the 31st of May, several large stockholders,
who were also directors, purposely absentod
themselves from the meeting and by this
means endeavor to hold over. The COM
plant, rs published in to-day's HERALD,
sets forth the grievances of the opposition
party, the main object being to prevent
the mortgagins of the company's steamships
for two million dollars, which was re-
Gently resolved on.

THE EAST RIVER BRIDGE has already begun
to give employment to the men of law. An
injunction has been applied for in the
United States Circuit Court to restrain the
cities Of New York and Brooklyn from COM
plotting the bridge, on the grounds that it
will be injurious to commerce generally and
particularly SO to the applicant. 1t is
strange that a question like this should arise
after the expenditure of 30 much money on
the great piers that have been erected on
both sides of the East River. Long before
the foundation stones were laid il was
publicly announced that tho bridge was
to be built of certain Dimensions, the height
of the roadway platform above tho water was
given, and, indeed, tho fullest information
respecting the proposed work that could be
desired by the public. A mistake has either
been made by the engineers or by those
whose interests will DO affected by the
bridge. II by the former it is not too late
even now to remedy it by raising the bridge
level, ana If by the latter they have only
themselves to blame for not objecting
sooner. we hope that the arguments on the
Injunction viii bring out oil tho facts bear
lug on this important question. The sooner
vs know them the better.

barometric depression which has manifested
itself in the Northwestern States has pro-

the existence of steep thermal gradients in

to be followed by cyclonic storms or tor
nadoes in that region and in the Western
