The question relative TO the building Of
bridges across the Ogeeehee canal at the
foot Of the several streets recently
opened, which has been in dispute for
some time, is about to be settled. The
canal company claimed that the city had
no right to give the railroad company the
privilege of building stationary bridges
across its waterway and thus obstruct its
navigation, without cOmpensating the
company The position of the canal
company, it is said, has been acknOwl-
edged to be correct. 1t has been agreed,
it is reported, that the canal company
shall be compensated out of the money
($1S,OOO) contributed by the Central Rail-
road to aid the city in opening Canal,
Bay and Indian streets in Yamacraw.
1t is understood that the proposed
bridges will be without draws and will be
level with the grade of the streets. As there
are but few craft other than the ordinary
scOw that use the canal, there will be but
little injury done TO the business of the
canal company. The opening Of the
country west of the canal will be Of great
advantage to the city, as it will not only
give easy access to the wharVesv and
warehouses of the railroad and steamship
company, but give the farmers and plant
ers living between the Augusta road and
the Savannah river better facilities for
bringing their produce to market.

Amend the Ordinance.

The City Clerk has published for in
formation an ordinance "fOr the prOtec-
ton of public and private property"
passed by Council May 4, 1854. The ordi-
nance provides for the arrest of persons
who shall deface any public or private
property, or who shall cut or injure any
trees in the streets or squares, or any of
the palings or benches therein, or boxes
around the trees. The ordinance also has
a life-saving clause which provides
for the arrest of any person or
brickbats, or any other thing in the
squares, streets, lanes or alleys or any
other public places. at or against any
trees, or boxes around trees. The PEN
atty for a violation of the ordinance, If
the offender is an adult, is a fine of not
less than $40 nor more than 500, half to
20 to the infOrmer. The ordinance, it ap-
pears, provides no punishment for boys
who commit any of the above named
Offenses, aIthoughthey are the chief Offend
ers. In many instances their parents do
not exercise any control over them, but al
low them to run about the streets at night
engaged in mischief of one kind and an
other. The ordinance should be amended
so as to include boys.
A special clause should also be added
providing for the arrest and punishment
Of boys who are continually throwing
rocks and brickbats at each other in the
streets. This is a dangerous means Of
Sighting. Not very long ago white boy
was killed outright by brick thrown at
him by negro boy, and during the late
HOLIDAYS two men had their skulls frac-
tured by being hit by rocks. The unpaved
streets are well supplied with brickbats,
and those who engage in quarreling and
fighting are quick to use them. The ordl-
nance should be made much more strin-
gent than it is, and the authorities should
see that it is enforced. The evils which
1t Is intended to remedy are increasing,
which is pretty good evidence that some
thing else is needed to check them.

recommend that it be abandoned by ladies
as a wrap fer general use, as it is the

When an indulgent husband now volun-

He owns considerable real estate in
Washington, a part Of which he sold to
Secretary Frelinghuysen afew weeks ago.
he offered to make the deeds few days

the court had decided that he had been
married 70 Miss Hill, and as that case
was still pending on appeal, the ex-Sena-
tor could not give a title that would be
satisfactory. The sale, therefore, was
not completed.

1t looks like train robbing will become
as common as highway robbery was dur
ing the days Of John A. Murrell. The
railroad men would do well to perfect
their robber signals and hurry up the
train drills. The robbing of train in the
very suburbs OF Chicago by three tough
young men show how little protection
passengers have, and will tend to greatly
encourage rascally thieves who are too
lazy TO work for a living.
