living on the Island, with perhaps an
average, counting hired help, Of six
members each, and Il is certainly within
the most reasonable bounds to say that
the crossing by each family will amount
to ut least one round trip per day for
one person, which gives u cents per
week, or So "a cents per year, Sundays
not included. Go back to the examples
and make the additions, and you have in
the first yearly toll OF SIS Y and in
the second $l4 SO, both rs against 50 un.
der the present arrangement.
These calculations believe to be be.
low the veriest minimum OF what it will
cost every resident on the Island, and ]
venture the assertion that il each head
Of family will make the estimate from
his own standpoint, my estimate will be
found short by nearly one.half. In this
matter OF tolls the HORSEPOWER and the
house.renter are equally interested. Il
the present liberal policy Of the Bridge
Company toward the residents OF the
Island Is cancelled and the one cent rate
adopted, il will be an addition by JUS
the excess Of toll paid under the new
arrangement, TO the taxes Of the houst
owner and 10 the rent OF the house renter

Just this much to say: Let every sensi
bic man ask himself II it is probable
that a company Of intelligent business
men, such as the gentlemen who own thu
Wheeling and Belmont Bridge, woulC
build, rebuild and maintain such struc
ture without being sure, beyond a perad
venture, that not only their charter, bu
all the franchises which they claim un'
der il, are good and substantial. In fac
| have been informed by u creditable gen
tleman that he has certain knowledge
OF several gentlemen, entirely dis
connected with the bridge or its inter
ests, who have paid their money to find
out Just what rights tho Bridge Company
have under their charter, and have salts
fed themselves that the vested rights o
the company are unimpeachable. II be-
comes the Island people to turn their face
as flint against any change in the present
policy Of The Bridge Company in regard
10 tolls. II is indeed well 10 understand
that if the Island people suffer them
selves to be antagonized TO the Bridge
Company by the senseless clamor Of ar
irresponsible sheet, they will find to their
sorrow that the Bridge Company has
some rights which they are bound to
respect, and that its right to take tolls il
neither contingent upon their "generos
ity" nor their "iree and easy tempera'
ment." | shall say no more at present
further than that the Island people, BY
rcmonstrance, or some other respectful
way, should insist that there be no such
change as / am induced to believe the
Com pany is now contemplating, and show
that they have no sympathy with the war
upon their vested rights that is being in
stigated to the direct detriment OF every
citizen Of the Island, be he property Oh
or non property holder. ISLANDER.

Two MIIIIoN DoLLARsl exchanged
gives an estimate of what has been
spent on fireworks, torches and uni
form caps during the Presidential
campaign. The sum, in round num-
bers. is put at 100000. Whether q
moiety Of this vast sum would not
have been spent to better effect b I
either party in some other way-in
distributing more local newspapers, or
in engaging more orators-is con-
sideration which concerns party man
ayers. For ourselves, when we cons
template this great material waste
and the small good arising to humans
ty from it, we cannot but reflect that
these things might have been sold
for q great price and given to the
poor" Nor would they necessarily
have been political blunder to have
done so. 1t is our belief that, if eth
er of the great parties had taken
that portion of its election fund which
it has devoted to the purchasing Of
fireworks, and given it freely to re
duce the public burdens, or to relieve
some crying form of human suffering
that partywould have. swept fhe Uniol

jury TRIALs.-Tbe common law,
which is nothing more than record
of the highest and purest courts for
centuries past, is thing to be vener-
atcd; but some of its principles when
applied to modern society, work hard
ships that are hard to be borne. These
principles were laid down and intend
ed to apply to an entirely different
state of society. The printing press
has revolutionized tic world, and the
courts might as we'll acknowledge it
first as last. The principle that no
man is qualified TO sit, on a jury be-
cause he has heard of case and
talked about it, and formed some kind
of an indefinite opinion from the facts
which he heard, rules every intelligent
citizen out, in a great many impol tant
cases, and leaves vast issues to be
settled by class of men 50 ignorant
as to know nothing of the current
themes of the day. This rule was
made when there was no such thing
as daily newspaper, and was very
proper at that time, bnt is very im-
proper and unjust now; and if it is
to be rigidly enforced, will exclude
every man from the jury box in every
case Of general interest, where there
is a daily newspaper published. 1t
would be FAR more equitable, and the
lends of justice more certainly obtained,
LIZ the rule was reversed, and no man
allowed to sit on jury who does moi
take and read a newspaper.-Er.
