erected under the esuperintendence OF the cOun-
ty Is occasioned BY the difficulty in procuring
iron. The contractors have applied to several
rolling mills for the material. but on account

the orders as they come in. The material for
four Of the six bridges has arrived, and is upon
the ground.

As will be observed by the minutes of the meeting.
the Republican Central Committee of Saline county
met last Saturday TO discuss the matter of represen-
taton in the coming county convention. After som.
discussion it decided to base the representation
purely upon the Republican vote for Secaetary OF
State, and To give one delegate for every Aneen
votes, instead Of twenty. ss agreed upon before.
The convention will thus be large one-lU6 dele
