The susquehanna Bridge.

THE GREAT IRON STRUCTURE NEARLY
COMPLETED.
Workmen are now engaged on the
Havre de Grace end of the T., W. u b.
Il. X. bridge over the Susquehanna
river, replacing the wooden span with
one of iron. When this work is com
pleted, the great bridge will be com
posed entirely of iron. The span now
being changed is tie one that crosses
over Union street, at the Havre de
Grace approach. The "false work"-
that is, the temporary structure on
which the mechanics work, and on
which the trains run after the old span
is removed is already erected, and the
work will now be carried on vigorously
to completion.
The work of constructing this bridge
of iron instead of wood, has been going
on for the past six years, and remarka-
BILE fact connected with it is that during
all this time not single train has ever
been delayed by reason of these opera
tions.
The Susquehanna bridge now stands
as one of the greatest structures OF the
kind in the country. Including the
approaches its length is about a mile and
a quarter. When the old wooden bridge
was first talked of some twenty-five
years ago, the project was ridiculed, and
Gen. Isaac Trimble, of Baltimore, was
about the only man connected with the
Company who deemed the plan at all
| feasible. The most serious obstacle was
the great depth of the river at this
| point, the channel having depth OF
| about seventy feet. 1t was thought inn
possible at that time to drive the piline
through the water SO as to gain the
necessary support for the superstruc
ture. However, the work was com
menced in due time, ard was success
fully consumma ed, after which the old
ferry boat Maryland" that ferried The
cars over for years, was sold. Thtn
few years later, came the project o
making the iron blidge, and now thl'
great undertaking. The total cost o
this immense bridge, it is said, is nearl!

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa, Aug. 10.
This charming little borough has late

ster torchlght procession, to inauguI ate
the opening of the Republican campaign.
Kennet is nothing, if not radical, and
the managers acted wisely in taking a
start where they would be sure of an
enthusiastic reception. Said one of the
local committee to me, "lt seemed as if

1t was an important affair, cert ainly,
for this quiet little town, and some time
will elapse before the people get over it.
1t has taken place in the chronology,
and the date of other occurrences will
be fixed by saying that such things lap

case may be.

GARFIELD BEFORE THE HOUSE

GARFIELD BEFORE THE HOUSE.
The Congressional Globe Of Febru'
airy 5, 1873, attests the contemptuous
manner which the Congressional
colleagues of General Garfield exhib-
tied towards him just after he had
"yindicated' his conduct in regard
to the Credit MobiIier stock. On
that day the Post, Office Appropria-
ton bill was under consideration.
and the main debate was upon in
creasing the compensation of letter.
carriers over the small amount that
was fixed by General Garfield in the
bill. The increase was championed
by Mr.. Myers, of Michigan, and Mr..
Cox, of this city, and opposed by
General Garfield, and then the de-
bate passed to other details, in the
course Of which General Butler NOV
ed to strike out from General Gar
fields bill an appropriation TO pay
the fees Of marshals and clerks Of
courts because it belonged to anoth-
er species Of bill. Then turning to-
wards General Garfield the member
from Massachusetts, said land now
follows the report verbatim from the
GloCe OF February 3, 1873, page l.
128):
"While I have been careful to impugn
no mans motive, do not mean that any
man shall impugn mine, and if any
member does it hereafter l shall reply to
him in a way that he may not relish.
"Mr. Garfield, of Ohio-What does
the gentleman mean by making a person
al issue with me, and saying that i'm
pugned his motives
"Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts-It take
back all | said if the gentleman did rot
mean me.
"Mr. Garfield, of Ohie-The franking
privilege is no personal matter, and
what personal quarrel dees the gentle
man desire to get up with me on that
question?
" Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts, do
net want any personal quarrel with you.
Do nlortuis NIL ntd GOnuna. (Laughter@"
During the same debate the fol-
lowing had occurred between the
two members, and is reported in the
preceding column of the Globe:
"Mr. Garfield, of Ohio-You spoke of
a bowling that would be raised if we
voted ourselves official envelopes
"Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts,
spoke of the hewling that would be rails
ed if we voted ourselves such things for
all the time we are away from here az
well as when we are here doing cur Off
cial business.
"Mr. Garfield, of Ohie-We are allow
ed so much year for stationery, includ-
ing envelopes
"Mr. Butler, of massachusetts, like
to speak once in while without being
interrupted by the Chairman of the com
mittee on Appropriations. Let him
speak when he is spoken to. daughter"
So it appears that fortnight after
General Garfield had, according to
the Republican newspapers of 1880,
made his Innocence as clear as the
MONDAY, the House of Representa-
tives received with daughter and
General Garfield himself received in
meek silence q declaration that Cen
eral Garfield should not be i'll spoken.

The State credit papers are silent up,

the Supreme Court at Jackson, reversed
| the decision of the Court below in the
new issue case, decided that the State is

The Ledger is silent on the one vi
tai fact connected With this decision.
The case vas heard in jackson be
fore Judge Horrigan. sitting as spe-
ciaI judge. The jury rendered spe-
cial verdict on certain points, but The
important question. whether the
Bank Of Tennessee bills offered and
refused in that case had heen. issued
lin aid of the rebellion" was not
decided. The Supreme Court, to
which an appeal was taken by the
State, reversed the decision with the
view of furnishing the State an OPP,
portunity to shOw "by evidence, if
POSSIBLE, that the particular bank
bills in question were issued Gin aid
of the rebellion" The Court held
that this point should be passed on
by the jury. Unless it can be shown
by ample proof atthe notes in con-
troversy we're issued "in aid of the
rebellion" verdict that the State
is liable will be inevitable. Aud OF
course no such proof can be furn-
ished.-Menl42hiS AUalancbe.
