Opinions of the President.

New YORK, Aug. 81. A correspondent
who accompanied the President through
New England, gives the following as from
the President and members of the cabinet.
The President says the republican plat
form of Ohio has been spread over too
much ground and that as both parties
have endorsed his Southern policy, the
result Of the election cannot be taken as
an expression of opinion on his course.
lie does not anticipate violent partisan
snip by the democrats in Congress- The
democrats will doubtless elect the Speak
er, but when legislation begins, their CO.
herslon will be lost. Army appropria
tons probably will be promptly voted
without opposition, and his message NAV
recommend that power be given the eX
ecntive to increase companies in regiments
to given maXium, which would preclude
any increase in officers. The order pro-
hibiting office holders from participating
in party organizations is due as much to
Evarts as to SchurZ, and on this topic
Evarts intends to deliver an address in
New York, this fall. Key appears to be
IN entire harmony with the administration
policy.

College students make the best walters
for summer resorts, declare the landlords,
who find it pays to give them better
wages than any other class of applicants.
They are honest, temperate, clearly, neat,
mind their own business and never dis
grace the house at which they are en-
ployed. They are generally young men
and women who have hard struggle to
get their education, and to whom the pay
as walters is a precious treasure to tide
them over the next scholastic years eX-
penses. They enjoy the scenery, wheth-
er ocean, coast or mountain side, and are
quick to get done their work SO as to be
out in the fresh air. They maintain
their self-respect by doing honest work
in preference to living upon the bounty OF
others. None but shoddy aristocrats snub
them, and while socially they may be
neglected, they are at all times and places
treated with quiet respect by well bred
guests, who can appreciate something
beside money.

"The President is doing his duty. Let
us sustain him." says the Progressive Age
at the conclusion of an article which calls
on Republicans to unite and assure the
success of the state and county tickets
But the Age apparently forgets that the
Republican State Convention declined to
pass a resolution endorsing the President,
and that the Republican County Conven-
ton was as dumb as an oyster on that
important point. Gov. Conner is held in
his position by the influence of Blaine,
who is the chief antagonist of the Presi-
dent in his commendable course; there
fore vote for Conner is a vote Of con
demnation of President Hayes. The
Democratic State Convention generously
endorsed the action of the President, and
every man whose name is upon our coun-
ty ticket will do the same.

SEARCHING FOR A CHART. Down In

foEAhCdlNG FOR a CdARI. DOWu III
one of the coast towns of Lincoln County
they tell good story at the expense of
a retired shipmaster who made one of a
yachting party of ladies and gentlemen.
The ladies we're seated on the break of
the quarter deck, enjoying the scenery
when the retired mariner aforesaid asked
to see a chart of Sheepscot river. He was
referred to locker in the cabin, where
it was kept But the Captain, by some
misunderstanding, instead Of opening the
locker, pushed aside window which was
curtained outside by the skirts of the la
dies aforesaid, and thrusting his arm
through began vigorous search for the
banks and shoals of the Sheepscot. 1t is
related Of the famous hunter, Capt. Scott,
that when he aimed at coon, the de-
spairing animal always came down. But
in this case the object aimed at, got up
and fed with little scream.

Bro. Emery of the Bangor Commercial,
has had a rich joke played on him, al
though it is an old one. His sub, taking
advantage of his absence down the bay
on fishing excursion, has put his paper
in against the regular Democratic candi-
date for Governor, bitterly assailing his
letter of acceptance, and virtually advjs-
ing the party not to support him. When
Emery gets back, and has shaken the
fish scales from his eyes sufficiently to see
what his substitute editor has done, there
will be lively time around the CONNER
cal office.

The Camerons of Pennsylvania, took
the war path against Hayes administra-
ton some time ago. In November next
they will return to their lodges to mourn
the loss of their own scalps, which will
decorate the belts of Democratic braves
As for President Hayes, he will have killed
two birds with one stone, for his Southern
policy will be the means of rescuing Penn
sylvania from Communism.

Destruction of the Great Bridge at Coun-
Gil Bluffs

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Aug. % Two spans
Of the Missouri River bridge at this place.
21O feet in length, were blown down and
almost wholly destroyed during Il violent
wind and rainstorm this morning. The
storm was from the north and struck the
casterly end of the immense structure
with such force as to wrench 500 feet
from the connections and topple it into
The river, twisting the stringers and col
umnS INTO an endless variety of shapes.
About one half of the debris is under
water and the remainder lies on the side
and at the foot of a high embankmcnt on
the eastern approach. 1t is impossible to
give a correct estimate of the loss The
dismantled piers, 50 far as can be ascer
tanned, are uniniured, as also the remain
der OF the bridge, nine spans in length
In consequence Of this disaster commune
cation with the west is wholly interrupt
cd at this point, but arrangements will
doubtless be perfected shortly either for
the erection of temporary spans until per
manent ones can be supplied, or for the
transfer of freight and passengers by
ferry
OMAHA, Aug. 25. There are various
Surmlses as to the cause of the accident
to the Union Pacific bridge, but the gen
erai opinion seems to be that it was Z,
cyclone which struck it. The loss is
about S:'50,0m. 1t will probably take
from two to three months to build it,
This is the bridge by which the Pacific
trains cross the Missouri, the Union Pa
cltic and Central Pacific lines meeting at
that Doint
