Between four and five thousand stock cat

THE AoUEDUCT BRIDGE.-lt is now gen
orally understood that nothing will be done
about the purchase of the Aqueduct bridge
until there has been some further legisla
ton on the subject. The Washington cor,
respondent of the Baltimore Sun says:
Secretary Lincoln, who will have to pass
upon the offer of the gentlemen who own
the controlling interest of the bridge, in
case the Attorney General decides that the
offer is legal, will hardly return before the
election day in November. He has stated
that he did not think the bridge owners
could take advantage now of an act Of Con-
gress passed two or three years ago, as
the money appropriated by the act went
back into the treasury long since. 1t now
looks as if the Riddleberger Senate bill OF
last session will be passed during the next
session Of the House in preference to the
bill urged by the District Committee OF the
House The public is more anxious to get
a free bridge across the Potomac than it is
to take sides in the controversies about the
way it can be brought about. The agita-
ton has been kept up about ten years. and
in the meantime they have paid and are
still paying toll over the Aqueduct bridge.
The free bridge is but little nearer than it
was five years ago."

The OYSTER SEAsoN.-The arrivals OF
oysters so far this season have not been up
to the average. On account of the mild
weather which has prevailed for the past
month the demand has been limited and
consequently trade, which at this season is
confined exclusively to the barrel, keg and
large can.shucked stock, is slow. rs soon
as the weather grows cooler the demand
will increase from the interior I'D a lively
trade may be expected. The quality of the
stock is fair. The continued drought affects
the growth, as the oyster cannot improve
while the water continues so salty. Twenty
four hours of rain would improve them won
derfuly. The receipts will continue light
until about the Sd Of November, when the
dl rodgers, who are allowed to commence
operations on the 1st, will begin sending
oysters to market.

weather IS indicated.
Tur Rr.1yE1rEs.-The feeling between
Tho two Blaine clubs of this clty-Mr
Windsor's and Mr.. Burke's-ls not that OF
brotherly love, but rather the contrary.
This is unfortunate flor them, for united
lhey can barely stand, and divided they must
surely fall. This was exemphied on Satur-
day. AS stated in the GAZETTE, that was
the night appointed for the Hon. Pee wee
Fowler and olhsrs to address the benlghted
followers of Blaine of this city, but the per
formance did not take place. Mr.. Dun
tireen, the Malone candidate tor congress,
arrived here early in the evening, anu SeI-
ting wind of how things stood, sought
sllcn consolation as he couid ootain.
After dark Fowler, with about dozen
otiiceholiers from Washington, as body
guard, arrived here, expecting to re
c=ive reception Well, if there ever was
q mad party, Fow ler's was the one. No one
greeted them, and instead of a cordial wei
come, they were Stunned. They found out
at the depot that there was to be no meet
Ing which they could address, and, after
impatiently waiting, took the first train
back to Washington, shaking the dust OF
the id bourbon hole" from their feet.
After they had gone, the row among the
Mahoneites of this city began. 1t appears
that the members of the two Blaine cluos
would rather see each other at the devil
Than that they should succeed in anything. so
each refused to help the other. 1t was con-
tended that Fowler was to appear under
the patronage Of Mr.. Edmund Burke, the.
chairman of the executive committee, so
Mr.. Wndsor's club held off. The halls be-
ing plentiful but the money being scarce;
no place was secured for the meeting, and
the id thing" was allowed TO 60 by with
the hope that Fowler would not come. He
will probably never appear publicly here
again. 1t is authoritatiyely stated that
hall could have been obtained for S!o, bnt
interest to that amount was not felt by the
leaders. No wonder Malone and his gang
curse Alexandria.
