Coz. ALLEN did a good service in reviving,
in the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, the
plan for making the Fort Smelling bridge a
combined wagon and railroad bridge. The
bridge commissioners had the project before
them two weeks ago and on referring it to
their engineer, Sewall, he reported that the
cost would much exceed the amount provided,
and without further ado the commissioners
abandoned the idea. It has been the ex
pressed opinion of the GLOBE from the start
that MI. Sewall ought not to have
been chosen engineer, but whether that
selection was an error or not he should not
be regarded as dictator. Col. Aliens sug-
gestlon that views and proposals be obtained
from prominent bridge builders, is an excel
lent one and should be given practical eff
feet. Thus far whenever Sewall crooks his
finger all of the commissioners crook their
fingers likewise. No practical bridge builder
has been consulted in any particular. This
is too important a matter to allow
to rest on the dictum of any one
man. There are dozen or more
bridge builders who would be glad to come
here and bid for the work. We believe Mr..
sewalls estimate too high, and that $685.
900 will build combined wagon and rail
road bridge. If this is so, consultation with
practical bridge men will develop the fact.
If the sum is not sufficient then more should
be provided. No bridge should be built at
Fort Smelling for wagon traffic alone. This
city has vital interests at stake in making
that bridge a medium for railroad connec-
ton also.

Richard McCtutky Makes the 4tteDtpt to
Cat HIS Throat-Fai1s IN the 4tten.pt,
Bat Is ddjudged Insane.
Sunday night about 10 o'clock Richard Nc
earthly, a young man about twenty-four years
Of age, who lives with his parents on Fifth
street, near Tenth avenue south, made
a desperate attempt to commit
suicide. It appears that for
some months he had been out of regular en-
ployment and Of late has grown very nervous,
morose, and seemingly discouraged. On Satur-
day he was about home all day, and, notwith-
standing the intense heat. busted himself in
piling wood, and worked himself nearly sick.
On Sunday he acted SO strangely his
mother became uneasy, and kept
close watch upon him. About 10 o'clock he
went up stairs to his room, and soon after his
mother heard strange noise. Proceeding to
his room she discovered him seated in chair
with razor in his hand. and the blood stream
ing from wound in his throat. She took the
razor from him, staunched the flow
of blood best she could,
and sent Immediately for physician. On his
arrival it was discovered that the wound was
not deep enough to sever the iugular, and
| that it need not necessarily prove fatal.
Yesterday an examination was made by two
physicians, on order of the judge of probate.
and the young man adjudged insane. He will
be sent to st. Peter to-day.
Young Mccarthy is well known in this city
having been for time a law student in tho
office of Geo. r. Robinson, Esq, and later a
member of the postoice delivery force He is
young man of good habits, and more than
average intelligence. His friends will regret Ia
learn that he has been overtaken by this great
misfortune, and hope for an early recovery
from his mental disorder

THE CORRUPTION WHICH DEFEATED
DIR. STE WART

LIN. S1E W AxCl.
We give this morning collation. from
Republican authority of charges showing the
corruption resorted to by Washburn and
his friends to rob DR.. Stewart of the con.
gressional nomination, to which he CDR.
So was 80 fairly entitled. No one at all
familiar with political affairs has had any
doubt os the means used to win the Wash
burn victory, and we only make the quota
tons in question to show that these charges
of corruption are not a partizan outcry, but
that they come from within the Republican
ranks.
Of course, nomination obtained by such
means is of no binding effect upon party,
and DR.. Stewart and every other Republican
is absolved from any allegiance to such ac-
ton. Not only this, but it is important that
such practices should be rebuked if the Re
publicans would keep their organization
from the lowest depths of degradation. If
they wish to have their nominations made q
matter of barter and sale, if they wish it un
derstood that it is only necessary to 90 forth
with scrip to win, then they
should ratify Washburn's nomination.
| This is the second TINT, purchasad
nomination for Congress has been sect I'd
in this district, and it is possible the Re-
publicans like this style and propose to in
augurate it as permanent policy. DR.
Stewart has an opportunity to render his
party substantial service and after being
insulted and degraded as he has been, he
would be scarcely human if he did not teach
the corrupt rascals lesson which they viii
long remember.

AMONG those with whom Grant surround
ed himself during his administration, no one
appeared to enjoy his confidence to a greater
degree than Secretary Robson. Although
the gross Encouragement of the navy de-
partment perhaps cast more discredit than
any other thing upon Grant administration,
he never for moment wavered in his fdeli-
ty to his friend. Probably, then, Mr.. Robe
son is entitled to speak for Gen. Grant, and
his utterances are worthy of weight. We are
inclined to think that he speaks by the card
when he says that Grant does not desire re-
nomination, and ''would not accept unless
there should be peculiar conditions, or the
state of the country should demand that he
again take the helm" But the "peculiar
conditions under which he would accept
are not very likely to arise. That Grant
does not desire denomination is true only
to certain extent If defeat appears una
voidable, Grant will not run, but if success
is probable, his friends will see that ssthe
country demands that he again take the
helm -

The scene in the former represents gen.

What the Investigation Develops.

~ VNHt t7te 1NVeSt1OvttOlt IeVeZO11S.
The New York Nation, non-partisan, says the
Potter Investigation is not fastening guilt on
any person not before suspected, or developing
any flaw in the Presidents title, but is letting
the world know what sort of people had charge
of the Louisiana State government, and work
ed the political machine there, from 1868 to
last year, and adds:
Their manners and morals, and the stories
they tell Of each other, read like chapter of
Jail yard gossip, and that every one of them
ought to be in the penitentiary, is putting the
case mildly. 1t is not e1aggeration to say that
it was an unlawful thing to have left the
government of civilized community in such
hands SO long, and lamentable and alarming
that the scamps should have been able to palm
themselves off SO long as good people at the
North and sufferings friends of the black man."

The p. p. last week said navigation was
closed on the st. Croix, which was altogether
wrong. Navigation has not been closed, the

single exception since navigation opened.
The p. p, with more zeal than prudence,
ventilates an assault case while the prisoner is
still at liberty. and gives the fend good chance
to escape. While we are always on the alert for

load them down with a more stringent charter
will be gross injustice.

committed the assault is still at large, and it is

have notified the officers here before he left his
home e2&
Chief Shortall captured twenty boys bathing

up before theEcourt. The Judge suspended
sentence and allowed them to 20 free. We
have had occasion to mention this matter of
bathing before, and it certainly seems to us
that the boys and men too should have some
suitable place assigned them for bathing.
Why not repeal the ordinance as far as Lilly
lake is concerned, and, if need be, detail some
citizen of that neighborhood to act as special
police, to that the boys are kept on the
other side of the lake and behave themselves
