THE ..satass.etser Free bridge.


Editors Dispatch: The Committee on CT
ties, Counties, and Towns. thought the bill!
now pending before the Legislature 10 make
8 toll-briage OF tbe Free bridge OF enough
Importance TO hear argument upon the sub
feet for ten or twelve days. III fact; tue
subject was elaborately argued by Mai or
Joseph Walker, o? Manchester" for, and
Mr. c: a. fAttkissOn against the bill; the
Board OF Public Interests met. and also
heard argument for hours, and decided
unanimously against the bill but tbeB Board
OF Aldermen, notwithstanding the decision
OF their advisory Board Of Public Interests,
not only refused TO hear argument, but did
not discuss even for one moment the sub
iect. important AS it was-Mr. Wagner
alone expressing! disscntior at the. rfdicu-
lous idea OF Richmond laying an embargo
upon outsiders and forbidding them an en-
trance into our. city under the penalty OF n
tribute in money, the amount of which has
not vet been aScertuined, but which, it may
be assured, will be sufficient to pay two
toll-gatherers--one for the highland one for
the day; enough to pay the full and Just
demands OF some favorile OF the Coun-
ellis for. repairs, to say nothing OF the
sums that will be required to nay
| the political demands and expenses OF the
holding, rings OF Richmond and Man.
chester; other leakages need not be- men
| toned But the expectant people OF ,klch-
mond and Manchester care not for this !;
they ere accustomed to an extrayagant ana
wasteiul use OF the public money. But they
do complain deeply and loudly at the ridicu-
lous attitude in which the city OF Richmond
is placed, and at the stigma cast upon her
fair name and upon her fame for that Vlr-
ginia hospitality about which her orators do
so love to pirate, when all incomers are met
with that detestable relic OF the barbarous
ages the tell-house-at our very threshold.
Are our merchants, who spend thousands
OF dollars annually in drumming the couu-
ties, sotciting-nay, begging-all TO come,
and bidding them welcome, willing to de-
lude their customers thus, by having them
faced with that standing lie and 'legalized
robber, the toll-gathercr, who demands
"your money or your life"? II is repeat
ed; Are our merchants, who have and
are still spending money freely in 1n-
dueing people 30 5patronize our city,
willing to see their efforts neutralized and
paraly zed by; a forbidding toltbridge. The
Council should be convened at once before
the bill now pendiugtis passed by the Legis'
latnre, and put upon it, the seal OF its con.
demnation. II money is to be raised to
keep this bridge in repair, why steal It ;:
Obtain it BY any means rather than by that
chilling menace to civilization, the toll
gatherer. o#orr. -.,'&i'' MERCHANT.

Baptist church was well filed with deeply
interested congregation. Rev. DR.. .Dashiell,
OF st. Marks Episcopal church, was very
happy in his conductf OF the meeting,
and made a very effective address, in
which he urged that the power OF these
meetings should be carried to our homes
and our business, and affect us in our daily
pursuits-that professed Christians should
be more faithful IN pressing the claims oi
the gospel on those with whom they come
in contact every day. He closed with an
earnest appeal TO the unconverted. -
Rev. DR.. A. o. Dickinson related an Incl.
dent to show how the power OF these meet.
ings is felt in the community. He TOLD CT 6
great revival in one Of the churches oil
Richmond several years ago., when there
were over two hundred. additions to the
church, which the pastor thought had be.
gun in spite of q cold church, but which
afterwards turned out to have originated in
the prayers of. one devoted Momap.sln.
Rev. DR.. G. H.. Read made a feeling ane
effective talk on the death Of Christ &. fol
me-" and told a touching incident to- illus
trate the ingratituGe Of the sinner whor re-
fuses to accept this personal Saviour, .
| :, Rev. DR.. Hatcher presented as specia
object OF prayer the case OF poorwomau
who had not been to church for five years
but who had become deeply concerned on
the subject OF personal religion by simply
