IL may be argued that the costs of living
before the war were so much less than now
and the value of The lrrency so much great
ersthat larger salary is needed to support the
s 0lnclals now than was needed at that time,
that Immediately after the war. when tbo
currency was more deprecated than at the
present time and the cost of living great
er, there was no difficulty in having ali the
onloes hlied by the best talent in the State
Nhen It is recollected that the contrast
1865 to 1870 and 1870 to 1876 has been rho
strongest argument in favor of a change
Oh rulers in this State. the absolute necessity
OF bringing the salaries down, at least as

PIE expect it and it will be a rude shock to
thelr confidence if they are disappointed.

The SenatObia SIgnet, as a Radical
printing organ, has gone out of exist
ence. Its last words were these: "THE
CLARION may howl, and goad, and
threaten, but it will amount to nothing.
"The impeachment of Gov. Ames will
ANONYMOUSLY fail, and his accusers
and slanderers had as well begin to
skulk out of sight, and hide from the
face of those they have deceived and
misled." The Signet could not have
found better time to die, than after
uttering this nonsense.

Mr.. PROCTOR KNOTT, Chairman OF
the Judiciary Committee of the National
House of Representatives recently re-
ported bill for the retirement. on full
pay, of Judge Wilson McCandless, of
the Western District of Pennsylvania,
IN consequence of physical disabil-
tiles, Notwithstanding he has not
attained the age of seventy years.
MIR. Knott, in reply to the objection
of a member that it would establish
dangerous precedent, remarked that
few years ago Congress deemed
1t wise to make provision that
United States judges, on reaching
the age of seventy years, might retire on
their pay after having served ten years
If that law was just and wise, it was i'm
possible for him to conceive the Injustice
or unwlsdom of passing this bill for the
relief OF faithful servant who had
served as Judge for 20 years, who lacked
but two or three years of the necessary
age, and whose physical disabilities would |
prevent his longer occupation of the
bench, with justice to the public interest
The bill passed-yeas, 142; nays, 100.
lie Is somewhat germane to measure now
pending In our State Legislature.

There will be ave of these cradles, one in
each land span between each tower and its
anchorage, and three at eqnal distances in
the river epan. They will project ten feet
beyond the outside cable, aud will support
pullies for the endless ropes. The whole
temporary structure will be 200 feet above

that no water craft will be interrupted ty it.
After this work il completed the construc.
tion Of the bridge proper will be proceeded
with, and the FIRST step will be the stretch
ing of the main cables, which will be put up
at the same evelation a. the temporary
bridge and lowered. These cables will be
composed OF nineteen strands, each strand be-
ing made up of $50 wires, No. guage-

be the best quality Of steel wire. The

Bread Riots Imminent.

Mayor Siedler, of Jersey City, has ad-
dressed . message to the Board of Finance,
urging some measuies for the employment
of poor laborers. In the course Of his mes
sage he says: "The present stagnation of
business and industry has reduced many
prosperous families to almost starvation,
and l am daily besieged at my office, at my
home and on the streets by hundreds of
applicants for work, who seek neither terms
nor particular labor, 50 long a. il is work,
and will bring them sufficient to keep their
families from starving. greatly fear that
if some such measures are not adopted there

HARD TINES IN ENGLAND.

Mr.. Kingsford, an old and prominent
merchant Of London. just arrived in New
York, represents trade in every department
as in most deplorable condition" There
is no money in any thing. and consequently
there is nothing doing. The cotton, iron
and corn trade, have been the several suf-
ferers-but iron men have been handled
the toughest. The corn merchants went in
to grain steep . while ago, under the belief
that the dogs of war were to be let loose all
over Europe, and the naval and other prep
arations Of England herself gave color 70
this belief; but the merchants of Great
Britain awake now, after their storehouses
are filled, to find Lord Derby declaring for
neutrality, and the peace Of Europe likely
to be preserved,

Hamburg massacre, which was conducted
