To E. A. Burke, r. Burke and W. M
Levy, Washington, D. c.;
Everything is perfectly quiet and peace
able here. An extra Republican this
evening says "The man who attempted
to shoot Packard was evidently stran'
ger here; that he stated he had been in
New Orleans only twenty-four hours
that Packard was slightly grazed by a ball
but the would-be assassin was shot in the
arm" Our police attempted to obtain
access for the purpose of obtaining evil
dence on which to arrest the man Charg-
ed with the attempted crime, but were
refused admission into the st. Louis Ho-
tel by those in charge, and the man is
now in the custody of Packard's police,
Men engaged in trying to ascertain facts
can conceive of no motive for the act
charged, unless he were a madman and
no friend of Louisiana, can entertain any
other idea. Every effort shall be made
to probe the matter to the bottom and
legal steps will be taken. Republicans
will doubtless strive to make political
capital of the matter.

THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.

The 340O tons of wire for the great
bridge between Brooklyn and New York
is to be made from crucible cast steel,
from Pittsburgh. The contract price for
the wire is eight and seven tenth cents
per pound, or $59l 800. This was the
lowest bid for wire specified to be cruel
BILE cast steel--but there were two bids
at slightly lower rates, in which the kind
of steel was not stated. These bids are
supposed to have been for Bessemer
steel, which Hon. Abram s. Hewitt and
other experts pronounced unfit for the
purpose, as tests of the ends of the wire
would furnish very uncertain guide as
to the quality of the coil. Several bids
were received from foreign manufactur-
ers, but only one at prices competing
with those of American bidders, even
when duties and freights are deducted
Since the work has been commenced by
the contractor, wire. has been furnished
which has shown greater tensile
strength than that of any samples accom-
panying the bids, The tempering is done
by the hot air process, in the coil, instead
of continuously, as was supposed neces-
sary at first. The wire is to be of medi-
um quality-that is, it must be neither
too hard nor high in its charater, nor too
soft or low in its temper.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1877-02-22

The speech Of Mr.. Carr in the House Of
Representative on Monday seems GER
tainly in very bad taste when we consider
that he has arraigned all the Democratic
Representatives save eighteen, and all
the Democratic Senators save one, as OBJ
jects of contempt before the bar ofpublic
opinion. 1t may be true that the MAORI
ty of the Democratic Congressman COM
mitted grave error in supporting the
electoral bill, but if so, then the great
body of intelligent Democrats were also
wrong, for the Congressman were but
carrying the wishes of their constituents
in voting for the measure. This being
the case, this self appointed mentor has
not only foully wronged many of his col
leagues, but has done it in such an often.
sive manner that bad blood will very
probably be engendered. Mr.. Carr is
certainly assuming great deal for man
who has been in Congress but two
months.-SteubenUiHe Gazette.
