There is pending in the State Sen"
ate q bill that is calculated to meet
the hearty approval of the people OF
this country, as well as many other
sections of the state, 1t authorizes
the commonwealth to purchase, take
or assume control of the bridges now
maintained and controlled by the
counties; in other words it provides
that all bridges shall become state
property and be controlled and
maintained by the state as pubic
highways. In case of the destrue-
tion of bridge by flood or other>
wise, it becomes the duty OF the
state to replace it. The Auditor
General and State Treasurer will
have direct charge of all matters
pertaining to the public bridges,
The bill provides for the appoints
ment of appraisers who shall pass On
the value of the existing bridges
before their requirement by the
state, and the fixed sum by them
shall be paid over to the county
authorities. When it becomes necs
cssary to erect new bridge the
Auditor General and State Treas
urer will, upon application of the
County Commissioners, order view
by six citizens, two Of whom shall
be citizens of the county where the
bridge is proposed to be erected,
and upon their report the state
authorities will act. The bill is one
that should become law. The
bridge burden slrould be borne by
the state and not the counties, which
are not able to bear the expenses,
often heavy, that these structures
require. 1t would equalize the ex-
penditures and relieve many sec
tions of burden that they can i'll
afford to bear. The people of Su.li--
van will look to their representative
at Harrisburg to give hearty sup
port to this measure,

The blizzard of last week stopped
short and it was a question whether
it would ever go again-The State
Line 81 Sullivan Rail Road. On
Friday and Saturday of last week
four engines with snow plough as
tached were doing manual labor on
the State Line & Sullivan Il. r.,
near Dushore. They say, that dur
ing the progress of work all four
engines were installed in a snow
drift and that boy with his little
shovel rescued the crew.

"We want to hear no more from
the Dunham contingent about the
heavy expenses to the poor tax rays
ers on account of the judicial contest
since they (the Dunhamites) have re-
fused to accept the proposition OF
Judge Sittser's attorneys to allow
the judges to take the ballot boxes
recount the vote and declare the
result, which would practically be
without expense to the tax payers
| Whose on the side of the poor tax
payers now ?"-Wyoming Dem.
1t would appear that our old
friend Mr.. Day is itching these days
He is mad all over on account of the
contest, and just why the old gentle,
man shonld feel thus, know person
can tell. 1t was he and few other
Sittser friends who brought on this
litigation and now he squirms beA
cause it is in progress, and wants it
cut short for the benefit of the poor
tax payers. Ha what deception.
The old gentleman through the col
umns of his paper would like to im-
press upon the people that Durham
and his friends are responsible for
the expense that will follow this con-
test. This of cours is not the case.
Judge Sittser and his friends are
wholly responsible for the bringing
of this litigation and of course must
father the expense that will follow.
The old gentleman is curious
piece of furniture, only last week he
whined because the Durham side of
the contest were anxious to put an
end to the litigation and now he
comes half way and argues that half
Of the proceedings should be laid on
the shelf Early in the contest Mr..
Day advocated through his paper
that il there were illegal votes cast
the perpetrators should be punished
and our ballot box purified. A
sound argument. Now lets proceed
to punish the perpetrators. Perhaps
however, Mr.. Day would like a few
OF them excused. The very idea
that Judge Dunham and his friends
should drop any part of the pro-
ceedings in this contest, is absurd.
The Sittser friends brought it about
thinking and hoping that they might
hnd some flaw in the ballot box that
would off set the 80 majority that
Mr.. Durham honestly received.
they had no positive assurance OF
this; it was faint hope and now
they realize that they were mistaken
and want half of the proceedings
quashed. In other words they don't
want the proceedings carried so far
as to throw out the vote of Colley
twp, because said election was not
legal, from the fact that it was held
in building other than was ordered
by the Court. Colley township,
gave Judge Sttser IL majority and
the Sittserites don't want them re-
tEkA,, 4 1,
court hearing tho contest have finish
ed their labors, we feel confident
that this will be the extent of the
illegal voting in Sullivan county Oh
the 9th of November.
We reckon the old gentleman will
have to go deaf and blind to get
out of hearing Of th~ expenses at
itached to this contest.

 to law, and having made such inquisi- tion, upon our oaths, each and all do say
 that we ind that the said John Wills,
 Leocardo Cordova, Clemente Lopez and
 Jesus Saguaripa came to their deaths on the s h day of August, 1873, at abou t II 80 o'clock, 3. m., ln the Courthouse
 plaza, in the town of Tucson, by hang ing; and we further find that the said hanging was committee by the people of Tucson, en m8sse; and We do further say that in view of the terrible and bloody murders that had been commit ed by the three Mexic6ns above named and the tardinees with which justice was being meted out to John Willis, a murderers, that the extreme measures taken by our fellow citizens this morn- ing in vindIcation of their lives, their property, and the peace and good order of society, while 1t is to be regretted and deplored that such extreme meas ures were necessary, seems to the jury to have been the inevitable results of allowing criminals to escape the penal ties of their crimes.
 All of which We duly certify by this in writing, by us signed, this 8th day of August, A. D., 1873.
