The weissport Bridge.

The Grand Jury has already given its Of
6cial approval of the proposition TO put MP
new and more substantial bridge across
the Lehigh at Weissport, and 1t only re-
mains for final approval of the Court TO
authorize the Commissioners to go ahead.
IL will be q matter of considerable expense
to the county. Should the bridge be locat-
ed as now, it would be necessary first to
erect temporary structure to be used by
the public until the new one Is completed.
But to make q good job of IL, the location
must be changed so as to avoid the sharp
corner at the Lehighton end. The course
should be In line with the main street in
Welssport direct across to point nearly or
In line with the street from the Lehigh
Valley station up to the main street. Prob
ably change of location, as suggested and
under consideration would cost nearly or
quite $l0,0 more than placing it on the
old piers, which would, on the other hand,
necessitate the unavoidable expense of the
the temporary bridge. All considered, we
believe a new bridge with change of loca-
tion would be by far the best, most expedi-
ent and that 1t would meet the general ap-
proYal of the taxpayers. Let il be remem-
bered that in point Of Importance ii is sec-
ond to no other bridge in tine county, as all
the people Of Franklin and Upper and
Lower Towamensing, and all from the
districts of Monroe County having business
either at Mauch Chunk or Lehighton, land
most of the market supplies come from
these districts) must all cross the bridge al
Weissport.
That new bridge there has become an
absolute public necessary IS unquestionable
The old oBe is no longer safe, 1t can only
be repaired at q considerable expense. and
even then, at best IL will be delapidated
old bridge. .-Mauch Chunk Democrat.
The above is In substance and fact what
has from time to time appeared in oul
columns, but we reproduce the pertinent
article from the Democrat to show tina
public opinion calls for the erection OF {
new bridge on better location. We hay'
referred to the fact that the viewers repor
had been confirmed nj 81 by the court, ant
that II no objections are presented the Jan
| ly. Thereafter It remains with the Commits
sioners to act on this important matter, tn
action of the court, not being mandatory
It strikes us very forcibly that in view Ct tn
fact that the bridge In question being on
Of the most important In the county th
Commissioners should not fail to approve @
the report presented and confirmed by tn
Court. The new bridge is an absolut
necessity and the change of location will b
wise one in every particular. We hav
been informed that the Lehigh Valley raj
road win deiray fair proportion of the IL
creased expense incurred by erecting th
bridge on new site, this being the cas-
the County Commissioners should not hes
taSe in their approval of this important ma
ter Gentlemen act quickly and wisely.

VOORHEES, TREASON.
The DamnabIe Evidence Discovered in |
His Law Office.

His Law Office.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 3.-Apropos
ofthe fact that Senator Voorhees, has We
hemently denied the charges of treason
against the government during the war
of the rebellion preferred by Senator
ingalls, in his speech in the Senate,
the following will be found Of
general interest. It is taken from
the Memphis Bulletin of September
2, 1864. Certain documents had been
found in Senator Voorhees, law office,
and he wrote to Gen. Henry B. Car
rington, who was evidently connected
in some way with the discovery Of the
documents, demanding a retraction.
The following is synopsis of Caring
toms reply:
I'D. VI. Voorhees,: You ask me to pub
lish retraction of the charge that
reasonable documents had been found
in your Office and ask me to put the facts
before the people in their true light. I
never published or caused to be pub
lished the charges. The facts are these:
The papers referred to are 112 copies of
the ritual of the %. A. K, treason
able document aiming to overthrow the
government of the United States, of
which you are member. The gentleman
they were found in your Office. The
following are some Of the circumstances
that led me to suppose that they were
correct: The ritual had been issued in
the autumn of 1868. Your congressional
documents were found in the Office
where these papers were found. The
correspondence of Senator Wall, of New
Jersey, under whose frank, indorsing
the proposition to furnish you with 90
900 stand of Garibaldi rifles just
imported, for which he could vouch,
was in the Office where these pa
pers were found. The correspondence
of C. L. Vallandigham from Windsor,
Canada West, assuring you 'our people
will fight, and that he is ready and
fixing a point 'on the Lima Road at
where these papers were found. The
correspondence of Joseph Restine, au-
ditor of state, declaring that 'he would
like to see all Democrats unite in open
and bold resistance to all attempts to
keep ours a united people by 'foree of
steel' and that this was war against
Democracy was in the Office where
these papers were found. The
correspondence of J. Hardesty,
who wants you to have that
100000 men ready, as we don't
know how soon we shall need them.'
was in the office where this ritual was
found. The correspondence of J. J.
Bingham, who asks you if you think the
South has resources enough to keep the
Union forces at bay, and says that you
must have sources of information which
he has not, was in the Office where these
papers were found. These are some Of
the circumstances. And yet | cheer
fully accept your denial, and SO respond,
as you request, that the people may
know the truth.

TT reported that at least $1,000 pieces
of mail matter on the average daily
pour into the dead-letter department at
Washington. To handle this mass, a
large number of clerks is required.
Non-addressed letters amount to 10000
in some years. Those only partly adj
dressed number often 100000. I'm
claimed letters reach nearly 100000.
All of these have to be opened and ex-
amined to ascertain whether their value
requires attention. Last year 12,OOO
letters containing money amounting to
nearly 1924 900, were forwarded to their
senders; while of the Enclosures In the
form of drafts, checks and post-ofice
orders there was 81 100000 in about %
600 letters. Naturally enough, no small
proportion OF the dead letters come
from Europe. For instance, during
1887, 10000 were returned to the Brit
ish Isles and 10000 to Germany.
