There is great joy at the re-establish-

1t is the belief of the Macon tGa.) Tele-
graph that if the Democrats are to control
the next Congress, the gains will have to
come from elsewhere than the South, the

success to the railroad influence, but it is
doubtless almost wholly due to the
strength of the temperance element,
which he is supposed especially to repre-
sent.

sion bridges. The pipe is iron, abont six
or eight inches in inside diameter, and
fastened together at the ends with screw
couplings. About every twenty miles
