Our esteemed iellow.citizen, ]. H.
DuVAl, Esq, Revenue Collector OF the
First District OF West Virginia, paid his
respects to Governor Hayes, at his resi-
dence in Columbus, last week. These
gentlemen are old comrades in arms;
having served with distinction in the
Union army during the late rebellion.
Should Governor Hayes be so fortunate
as to be counted in as President OF the
United States, We see nogood reason why
Gen. Duval should not Be retained IN his
present position, inasmnch as he has
proved himself to be an honest and eff.
Client officer, and this is saying a good deal

possibility Of giving it such test as the
contract agreed, but the one given was
Sufficient to satisfy all present that the

east end of the bridge ten heavily laden
wagons, the weight Of which in the ag-
gregate amOuntefi TO over thirty tons. La
addition to this, seventy or eighty per-
sons took positions upon that portion OF
the bridge, so that the weight upon that
span was undoubtedly to exceed, forty
tons. Having the weight all placed al
one end, it was claimed gave it seyerel
test than had double the weight beer

SO that the test was considered more thar

however, is only about two-thirds Of tn,
weight which the contractors guarantees
it should be capable of sustaining, but il
was sufficient to demonstrate that il
