were before the Police Court yesterday
morning charged with assaulting aad at
tempting TO cut Captain W. G. Wilkinson,
overseer of the city chain-eang, and with
interfering with him in the discharge Of his
official duties. The evidence in the case
went to show a fragrant violation Of law
and an uriustlfable assault upon public
officer. Captain Wilkinson held his own
against the parties for some time, but was

denizens in the peanut gallery, was de-
cidedly offensive to the large majority OF
those present. In short, it may be safe to say
that nothing has disappointed Richmond
audience SO much as "Pinafore Us pre-
sented by the Holman Opera Company.

LOCAL MATTERS.

MANCHESTER FREE BRIDGE TO DE CLOSED,
The Frce-Bridge Commissioners give notice
In the Dispatch this morning that on and
alter the 18th instant the bridge will be
closed to all except ioot-pasyenoers, owing
to the failure OF the cities Of Richmond and
Manchester to furnish the means to main
tain !: in proper order. The commissioners
are now 10 debt about $500, and if the cities
OF Richmond and Manchester and the couu-
ty OF Chesterfield were to appropriate the
amount they have already ndicated-sS0O-
it would be entirely insufficient to put the
bridge in repair. They need $1,000, and
must have it, or the bridge cannot be re-
paired. The Bridge Commissioners GER
tainly have not been remiss in their duty.
They have time and again brought the mat
ter to the attention OF the proper authorities,
but they have failed TO place the necessary
means in their hands with which to repair
the bridge.
A competent engineer, with committee
OF three of the commissioners, inspected the
bridge few days since and declared it en-
tlrely unsafe for vehicles or animals. In
deed, he was so much impressed with its
rotten condition that he said he would close
it then If he had the authority 70 do so. AS
far back as the 18th Of May last a resolution
was adopted asking for $500 to repair the
brifge-s400 from each OF the cities OF Man
chester and Richmond. Again in Deem
Der au appropriation was urged, and at n
meeting held on the Sd Of February it was
fdeefded 20 make application for an amend.
mcnt to the charter of the bridge company,
SO as to allow tolls for its maintenance.
This having failed, the bridge is now to be
closed except to foot-passengers. SIG.

THE Providence Journal in discussing
the mandamus question and commencing
Judge Virgins decision, goes on to say Of
the action of the Governor and Council in
dealing with the returns: "The real ques-
ton then to be decided in judging of the
quality of this action is not whether it will
stand the law, but whether it is a proceed
ing in consonance with the spirit of the con-
stitution; in accordance with the principles
of representative government; such conduct
as gives confidence to honest and honorable
men in their rulers. The constitutional
right of the candidates exactly balanced the
constitutional right of the Governor and
Council. There was left open only the mat
ter of procedure; as to this, the Governor
and Council could deny the political right of
the candidates, and they did so. 1t is not an
affair for argument. If there are any who
do not inst;nctively rebel against such des-
potic exercise of purely technical power,
then they would little heed disquisition up
on the doctrine of the real and final authori-
ty in the people. Here the representatives of
the people, as they say, were refused chance
to show their credentials. The Governor and
Council declare that they will elect certain
members of the Legislature, and, as is said,
againstt the wishes of the people, who had the
right to elect them. Itwas petty business in
one sense; in another it was a usurpation
which should consign the actors to political
death. Nor will the cheating of the major
ity in this wise be submitted to, if the people
of Maine can find, or rather only until they
can find, redress.
