A New Bridge to be Built over Rocl
River Near Cleaveland.

Reynolds, Saulpaugh Il Co., we learn,
have the contract for the substructure, or
masonry, Of bridge TO be built across
Rock river near cleveland, by the c., B.
& Q. K. r. There will be seven pieces Of
masonry which will contain in all about
ten or twelve hundred cubic yards.
We are glad to announce that the work
has fallen into the hands of our enterpris-
ing and energetic townsmen, whose repu.
tation as railroad and bridge contractors
is second to no other firm in the great Mis-
sissippi valley. Their last contract, inn
mediately preceding this, was the masonry
of the Cincinnati Southern Railway bridge
across the Ohio river at Cincinnati, amount.
ing to about $4,000 cubic yards, and which
the consulting engineer Of that road, Col
T. ID. LoYett, has pronounced the bes
masonry of the kind that he is acquainted
with in the United States.
The present contract, though small il
comparison with many others in which
they have been engaged, and which, o
course, viii not be by any means length,
job, will, nevertheless, afford stone cutter
and masons Of this vicinity, or some o
them, at least, steady employment for tn

PITTsBURG, July 24.-We wish the
public to distinctly understand that before
aud since the destruction of property aud
loss of life we conscientiously did our part
in seeking a conference to settle the differ
ences between US and the company, but
we have not even been deemed worthy of
an answer from the officers of the Penn
sylvania railroad company We have used
our best efforts to have communication
with President Thoms A. Scott, but our
requests have not been noticed We have
so far, been fair and gentlemanly with the
company, seeking an arrangement, and
| permitting them to run their passenger
trains up to the present time, and which
we have the power to Immediately stop.
Even this afternoon, as one of the gentle
men of the citizens committee knows, we
went to East Liberty at the request of the
company, who sent an engine to take us
out to make an arrangement for running
the passenger trains from Lawrenceville
but when we arrived there we were inform
ed that no officers we're there, and we had
to return to the city as best we could
We are creditably informed that Presiden
Thomas A. Scott is in the city, and we re
Iquested DR.. Donnelly to have an interview
with MIR. Thaw to see if the company il
disposed TO meet us on amicable terms. I
we are further ignored we know our las
resort. and Thomas A. Scott will continue
to ossume the responsibility.
The railroad officials have distinctly re
fused to compromise.

The New York 7ri6uaG says there is every
reason why the Republican party, after the

his natural supporters-there is every rea-
son for trying to get together again-and
there is no need to abandon civil service
reform. 1t is only necessary to abandon
such burlesques upon it as tho late New

A Review Of the battle,

We had hoped when the hug came over
the New York appointments that the bat
tie would be ended when the Senate had
determined the event, let II go which way
it might; but 1t appears that we were mis-
takon. There are those who insist upon
impugning the motives of Senator CONK-
LIMO and ofkeeping tho fcud alive after he
has won decisive victory. This Is alike
unfortunate for the enemies Of Senator
strength, and for the Republican party to
which all the parties to these differences
respectively claim to belong Ifwise coun-
sells prevail the embers of this feud will no
more be famed into flame by the van
quished or any Of their friends, for no good
can come to the country Or TO the Republi-
can party by keeping them alive.
Tho accredited organ Of the President
we think very unwisoly essays now to keep
this difficulty under irritation by arraigning
the motives of Senator CoSKLINa in this
affair. 1t says:
The contest upon these nominations has been
OF a personal and partisan character from the
start, the whole object Of the opposition appa-
rently being to win q victory over the Presi.
dent and secure TO Senators the control of the
executive patronage. In obedience to reso.
luton embodied in the platform Of his party
the President has undertaken to exercise the
power Of appointment Independent of Con,
gresslonal dictation. In doing so he Interfere
with patronage which Senators have come tc
regard Us theirs by right and TO u fellow feeling
among them on this subject is due the support
which Mr.. CoSKLIsG has been able to rally
around him in defense Of his proteges at New
York.
IL is evident that our contemporary il
either grossly ignorant of the true facts 0
this case or Is disposed to misrepresen

rather than TO less generous or honorable
