Committee on streets, Alleys and Grades


The Council Committee on Streets,
Alleys and Grades met at the corner Of
Market alley and Main streets, last even
ing. to look at the site of the improvement
proposed TO be made by the Wheeling
Bridge Company, in carrying their APP
proach out from Main street TO their new
bridge a profile of the changes to be made
in Market alley in turning ii into street
was in the hands Of the committee, and the
ground was thoroughly looked over. Rep
resentatives of the Bridge Company. as
well as owners of the adjoining property,
were present, and there was good deal OF
discussion. There is some opposition to
the fill from Mr. William Goshorn, who
saws the change in the grade of the alley
will prevent access by teams TO his store
building, occupied by Locke X Co. The
ordinance the Bridge Company desires TO
have passed has been printed, and will be
further considered by the committee before
being presented To Council.

DON'T TRUST THE SENATE.

A good many Democrat profess
to believe that the Republican major
ity in the Senate will not pass the
Force bill just pushed through the
House-that the Senators are more
inclined to fair play than the lesser
lights Of the party in the other
branch. We fear that this is vain
hope. We believe that the Senate
will pass that bill without any COM
FUNCTIONS whatever if it is allowed to
do so. We cannot see what the DEM
ocrats have to hope for from any
body of men like the -blooded,
crafty Edmunds; the sanctimonious
snivelers from Massachusetts, Hoar,
and Dawes; the vindictive Chandler
and the cranky Blair, Of New Hamp-
shire; the bitter Ingalls, and the bru-
tai Plumb, of Kansas; the unscrupu-
lous trickster from Pennsylvania,
Quay, whose place as Senator is sim
ply a reward for dirty political work;
Frye, of Maine, who has never dis
played generous impulse; that other
practical politician" Platt, of New
York; John Sherman, Evarts, Aldrich,
Evarts, Farwell, and the balance Of
them. 1t will be much easier to get
blood out of turnip than to get JUS
tice from the Republican Senators.
They are not great for craftsmanship,
but when partisan measures are to
be considered they will be found in
their places seven days in week
They have never yet had scruples
about passing bills Of this sort-we
do not think they will falter now,
when the very existence of their party
hangs on methods to suppress the
vote Of the people or count it to suit
themselves after it is cast.
Oh, no! We don't think the Senate
will stick at little thing like the
Force bill.
What glorious chance there is for
some Democrat to make a name for
himself, and to save his party, by re-
sisting this infamous attempt against
the liberties of the people-who will
wage a battle with such force and
persistence and skill and courage that
he shall beat the enemy in spite of
superior numbers
Is there not one Democrat who can
defend his party from this audacious
attack?

THE SHEPHERD TURNPIKE.

Since the completion OF the new
pike, quite a number OF our people
have been sharing its comforts as de-
hghtful drive. But there is still agi-
tation in the minds OF many as to
whether gates are to be erected and
tolls charged.
We understand that depends largely
upon circumstances-the main one is
the care and condition shown the
pike by those who use and enjoy it.
1t has not at any time been either
the desire or expectation OF MIR. Shop
herd to charge tolls, and the reserva-
ton of that right in the charter was
only intended as safeguard for the
future.
The pike has cost all immense sum
of money and it is quite natural that
Mr.. s., who has so generously borne
the whole burden, not only expense
but annoyance and trouble attending
its construction. should expect proper
appreciation OF his liberality aud
proper care of the pike itself.
Ii such consideration be shown and
favorable circumstances continued it
will be Mr. Shepherds greatest pleas
ure to retain and preserve it as free
drive for the public.
If on the other hand he is to be
damaged with depredations by hogs
and cattle, chain-locked wagons, I'M
necessarily carrying mud thereon,
and such improper uses as will not
only deface and mutilate the pike
itself. but increase the cost of main
tanning it and which in the exercise OF
care and consideration might readily
be avoided, the only alternative will
be the erection OF gates, collection OF
tolls and resort to the remedies pro-
vided by law for its protection.
1t will not be sufficient that it re-
ceive ordinary care. This is not an
ordinary road. So far as we are aware
there is none approaching it in this
section. 1t has been built with sys
TEN and completeness that makes its
finish a main feature of its beauty and
attractiveness and anything that mars
or detracts from that detracts from
the pike itself AS public improve
ment it is a credit not only to the
county at large, but more particularly
to this town and section Of the coun-
try through which it passes.
1t has been generously furnished
by Mr.. S. and offered open and free
to all upon the only condition that
those using it take good care of it.
But the community may suffer from
the abuse of one man and Mr.. s. don't
want to be compelled to look after
and deal with even that one.
If our people really appreciate the
roadway rs now completed, and wish
it to remain free, he expects them uni
tedly to interest themselves in its thor
ough protection, including beauty of
finish and present condition of neat
ness and cleanliness, and to entirely
relieve him from all future annoy
ance and concern in that direction.
The reasonableness and propriety
of Mr. SIS position in this matter can
not be questioned, and we sincerely
trust that an earnest and united effort
will be made by all, without e1cep'
ton, to give the new pike in every
respect the greatest care and consid-
GRAFTON, and certainly hope that a
resort to gates and tolls or legal rem
edies for its protection may never be-
come necessary.

A recent dispatch from Alexandria,
Mo-, says: People living north of
this place have been badly frightened
recently by the appearance Of a wild
man. A report comes from Keokuk
to the effect that the man has also
been seen on several occasions on the
outskirts of that city, on which oc-
casions he badly frightened women
and children. He is described as be-
ing old in appearance, with a shaggy
beard and ferocious cast of eoun
tenance. His long. matted white hair
streams from the palsied head, while
his eyes roll wildly, either with fever
or delirium. The creature appears in
almost naked condition, carrying on
ly small red blanket, which he uses
as couch. His chief delight is to lie
down near the railroad track, remain
there short time and then jump up
wildly and soon repeat the operation.
He has occasionally begged for food
at farm houses, but his condition has
always alarmed women, and he has
been driven away. All efforts to cap
ture this strange man have proved
unayailing.

CONGRESSMAN MCCoMAS is catch
ing it pretty lively on all sides for the
part he recently took in passing the
infamous force bill and the incidental
SANDER of his native State. His
course in this Congress has been a
most remarkable one. Holding his
place largely by Democratic tolerance
and owing much of his popularity to
the bipartisan friendliness of the
Democrats of his State, he has placed
himself outside the pale by his bit
ter and illiberal course during the
present session of Congress. No
party measure has been too unjust to
receive his support, no Republican
policy has been too vile to obtain his
unreserved advocacy. He has gone
out of his way to express by his voice
and vote his bitter hatred of the Dem
ocratic party. He has been foremost
in urging legislation adverse to the
Southern people and tyrannical and
unfair to his political opponents. In
deed he has himself proposed meas
ures SO extreme that his own party
has repudiated them. He has proven
himself to be the narrowest of the
narrow, and We think he has made
the mistake of his life i'm his recent
course. Surely no Democrat can af-
ford to countenance him in any way
whatever, but on the contrary he
should be licked out of his boots
when he comes before the people for
reelection.

Along the streets there were lemonade and

grand parade we were again marched To the
Independent Hose Companys hall where
sumptuous supper was served TO the guests.
After supper we were disbanded for the rest
OF the day, and the city was thrown open TO
the visitors, who enjoyed IL to their fullest
extent. At 9o'clock the grand uniform ball
was opened by a grand march OF 2OO ladies'
and gentlemen in line. We were presented
with two very nice cakes, and enjoyed eating
them on the following saturday night. An
