Experts in Gerrymandering.

Talk of gerrymandering, indeed
The Democrats have at three general
elections carried Connecticut, and
then lost the Governor because (save
in the case of majority of the whole
vote) he is chosen by Legislature
elected from horrible gerrymandered
districts. The Democrats have, OF
three consecutive elections, carried
New York, hut cannot secure a Leg
islature by reason of previous Repub-
lican gerrymandering. The Demo-
Gratis on the 9Th instant, carried Iowa
but fell narrowly short of a Legisla-
tive majority because of Republican
gerrymanderine. Nevada, with only
II, 600 votes-not third of the num-
Der necessary for one Representative
on ageneral apportionment--furnishes
two Republican United States Sena-
tors. Dakota has been divided. and
worked up to similar purposes, and
there is an effort which promises to
be successful, to steal two senators
for the Republicans in srontana.-
But sooner or later the people will Sc
cure their rights, all the same.

.fFrom the Warrington Post


ts'Nhen L went out over the West
Virginia Central few weeks ago, "
said Hon. James d, Butt, of Harper's
Ferry, TO the Post. II had one expe-
rience I'll be slow forgetting. There
we're several of us in the party. Wegot
OF at one station and had to drive sew
eral miles across the country TO new
hotel which was just being. built. 1t
was pitch dark when we left the sta
ton. A couple of hoys came after
us in country wagon with span of
spirited young horses. got on the
front seat with them. noticed the
travelling was rough.
What is the matter with the
road p asked.
"sAin't no road here. We are
just travelling across lots. In about
fifteen minutes we. strike plank
bridge across gully, and then we get
onto the pike.
IS How far is itS'
/" About three miles,
"'How in the name of heaven can
you tell when you strike the bridge?
" Hear the horses hoofs OH the
planks.'
But if there is no road what is
to hinder you from driving into the
gully instead OF onto the bridge?'
.Oh, we can feel our way. Ihave
been driving here for the last year,
day and night, and have never get
into the gully yet.

we were driving over open fields at a
fast trot behind two colts, in dark

your hand before you, and aiming for
a bridge sixteen feet wide, three
miles away, over gully of unknown
depth. felt queer. In about fiji
teen minutes the driver said he reck-
oncd we were nearly to the gully. 1
could hear my heart thump, but in an
other minute the horses feet struck the
pianks. and we were on the pike. 1t
was remarkable piece of driving. l
say it and have seen deal of it. The
pike was fine, and we BOWED up to the
hotel in short time. The elevation
there is considerable. and the hotel
was hardly more than rooted in. We
all slept i'll our clothes for warmth,
and weren't any too warm then.
''In the morning We had to rout out
early TO take the train. Our break
fast was pretty tough, but noticed
that the girls were paying considera-
bic attention to lot of carpenters
over the other side of the room, and
that they seemed to be faring sump-
tuousIy. You see, We were tran
sients, while the carpenters we're reg

Our brethren of the Republican
household of faith had a meeting in
the courthouse at this place last Sat
urday. Itpurported to be an Execu-
tive COMMITTEE meeting, but as to
what it really was Kilkenny cat
fight was nowhere-if what we learn
about It be true; and our information
is from a source not to be doubted
I'm addition to squabbles about other
matters, Col. Black and Jas. d. Butt,
Esq, claimed, in behalf of the col
ored voters of the party, that as the
element largely preponderated in its
strength, it should be represented in
some degree at last in its benefits
i. e. that all the appointments should
not be given to the small minority
of the party in this county,, and
the great majority left entirely out in
the cold, without a single sop to
soothe its hungry NAV. If this prac-
tice was to continue, it was asserted,
Jefferson county would at the next
election give two thousand Democratic
majority. The colored brother was
again, nevertheless, left out in the
cold, and his enthusiasm for the g. o.
p is reported on the wane.

Snow was reported on Friday in
Indiana and Wisconsin. A bowling
blizzard prevailed along Lake Michi-

very high. Steamers made their trips
with difficulty and were badly iced.
Lake Erie was swept by a gale and
the waves rolled in at Cleveland with
a dcafening roar, while the snow and
fog made objects invisible at short
distance. The pontoon bridge which
was recently constructed across the
Missouri river at Leavensworth, Kan

by floating ice. The missing parts
have been regained and will again be

Editor Spirit:
DEAR SIR According topromisc
/ will give you some data on bridge
near Middleway. W. Va. The bridge
was completed, received and opened
fortr;AIic to-day. It's an iron bridge
what is known as the Pratt Trtrss =
span 100 feet, width of floor II feet,
headroom 10 feet, and is 1G feet above
low water mark. Will bear a rolling
load of 1900 lbs. per lineal foot of
roadway, with factor of safety of 4
feet; was built by the King Iron
Bridge Co. OF Cleveland, Ohio, and
cost $3.50. The abHtments, wing
walls, grading, &C.. cost 81, $3.50, maxi
ing total COS. of $3.50. John III.
Smith, the walking encyclopedias of
/" Clip" has kindly given me some
data as to the bridges which have
been erected at the site of the present
one. The first bridge was erected
about tie year 1870, over which MIR.
Smith told me he had crossed good
many times in going to the mill when
he was boy 1t was trestle bridge,
and was about 40 feet from end to
end. The Opequon branch was at
that tine, presume, an Insignificant
stream about the size of the Charles
town run. 1t was replaced in 1886
by half truss bridge of about GO
feet span. This was built by William
Watson, haif-brother of Josiah Wat
son of this county. 1t was built on
log abutments, a portion of which
were dug up in excavating for the
present abHtinent on the Jefferson
side. Said bridge was about ten feet
above low water mark. 1t was re-
placed in l948 by covered bridge,
built on the suspension plan, with a
span of so feet and was about Is feet
above low water mark. This was built
by William Bollman, who built the
Harper's Ferry bridge, and who after
wards achieved great fame in South
America in bridge building. 1t was
remarkably strong bridge, as it bore
up with case the heavy artillery of
the two armies from 1861 to '65. 1t
was set on fire during the war but was
discovered and put out. 1t was prov
idential, however, presume, that the
flood of May, 1889, took it away, as
it was fast decaying and becoming
unfit for public service. 1 think 1
can venture to assert, that the pres
ent bridge-unless carelessly allowed
to deteriorate by rust, or is removed
by unprecedented foods, cyclones or
earthquakes-will in the twentieth
century be passway for generations
yet unborn. A noted civil engineer,
Charles Lindenthal, of Pittsburg. Pa.
who has recently designed bridge
of 2,S50 feet span over North river in
the city of New York, has said in re-
gard to modern iron bridges: Keep
away the rust and after thousands of
years the structure will yet stand"
1 consider the present bridge credit
to Berkeley and jefferson counties
and the King Iron Bridge Co., and 1
trust that in after years my fellow
citizens will be able to say that at
least aimed to erect bridge which
was credit to them and myself.
Yours truly, T. G. BAYLOR,
Engineer in Charge.
