THE LAwRENCE RRrDGE.

The charter OF the Lawrence Bridge
company expired last Sunday. The Tri-
baRe in noting the fac; says:
As We understand the matter, the bridge
! company claim that the object and purpose
OF tie charter was merely to prohibit the
building OF another bridge within a certain
distance during its term, thereby insuring
the company against loss of the capital in
vested in the bridge, and thus insuring Its
erection at time when the public was un-
able TO do IL, and when no one would have
put money in it unless protected against
competition by Il charter, and that the ex-
piration OF the charter leaves the bridge
still their property, merely giving others
the right OF competition by building other
bridges. III this view is correct it of
course gives the company the privilege Of
continuing TO take toll or Of closing up the
brilge.
Ga the other hand it is claimed that the
charter contemplated that the twenty years
OF monopoly was to pay for the erection Of
the bridge, and that it should revert to the
public at the expiration Of that period, the
object in granting charter being to secure
free bridge at the expiration Of the term,
and that this object was the only one
which could have justified granting the
chartered monopoly.
These divers views will in all probs-
bility have TO be settled in the courts,
and as this means going through the
remarkably slow process of our su-
preme courts it may take a year or
two TO reach decision. In the mean
time, III. county commissioners, at a special
session, have granted license to the COM
pany to continue taking tolls at present
rates, for six months longer. The PROPOSE
ton submitted to the voters Of the county
at the fall election to appropriate s. 900 for
the purchase Of the bridge was, as we think
verv unwisely, voted down by the people,
and il seems TO us that a special election
should be held upon this vuestion soon, and
We believe that it would result IN voting |
the money necessary to purchase the bridge. |

A COMPLICATED ACCIDENT AT EuDoRA.


Our readers will doubtless remember the
fact that Mr.. Park burst, residing near Hes
per, wss so unfortunate as to have his
dwelling and its contents burned, while
himself and family were at church.
On last Wednesday Mr.. Parkhurst was
turning from this city with load consist
ing of lumber, lime, brick and other mate
rial for use in rebuilding his house, and
when crossing the pontoon bridge at Eudora,
about dusk, one of his horses stepped into a
hole in the floor OF the bridge, causing 1t TO
fall and TO trip the other horse in doing so,
and both horses falling to one side of the
bridge caused it TO settle TO one side sufh
cieRtly to cause the heavily loaded wagon
10 slide around, break the railing, ard &c
over the side Of the bridge into thirty feet
OF water, drawing the team after it.
Mr.. Parkhurst was thrown from the w8g.
on into the water, but being a good swim
mer he at once turned his attention to saw
ing his team. One of the horses was en-.
tirely under water, but he swan up TO ii
and succeeded in raising i's head 10 the
surface just in time TO save it from drown
ing.
A little boy ran up to town and gave the
alarm, and the citizens OF Eudora turned
out en- masse to Parkhurst's assistance
Ropes were put around the horses neck'
and they we're safely drawn out, but slight
injured. In the meantime the lime had be
gun to siake, and made rather warm work Of
saving the rest OF the load, Mr.. Pc hands be
severely burned but all was final
ly got out, with but slight loss aside from
the lime. Ii was necessary to take the was
on to pieces to get it out. Mr.. Parkhurs
was in the icy water for some time, ant
in his wet clothes an hour or two, but M
| i'll effects seem to have followed his invol
untrv bath.

A WASHINGTON OPINION.
Washington ID. q Republican /

Senator Ingalls,, after aprotracted strug-
gle, has been elected to succeed himself
This result is gratifying to his numerous
friends at home, and is deserved compli-
ment to his sterling abilities and devotion
to Republican principles. During the six
years that Senator Ingalls, has occupied a
seat in the Senate he has exhibited stern
adherance to the principles of the Republi-
can faith as embodied in the creed Of that
party. He has firmly stood by the right,
and fearlessly antagonized the wrong upon
every question involving distinct princi-
Piles of party doctrine and policy. In
fine, he has proved himself stalwart
Republican and one of the straight
est of the sect. In point of ability
and statesmsnship he has gradually devel-
oped with service, until he has secured
high position of respect among his peers
and from his countrymen. We congratu
late the stalwart youug State of Kansas on
the return OF Senstor Ingalls,, for in that
determination it has secured to itself and
its interests the ripened experience of his
six years service for another term, and
has continued in the Senate an able defen-
der of the right whenever 3 struggle shall
come in that body between the elements of
disloyalty and disorder and the cause of
unity, harmony, loyalty, and peace in the
conduct of public affairs"
