A STATED 10 80 article on the nrs'
mage of todsy's q zette, great wrong
dome TO the memory of Mr.. Jenersop
Davis il about TO be righted oy re-
storing bis name on the tablet Of CABIN
joan Bridge, which magnificent s'ruc-
ture was built under his personal gu:
nsrvision while be was Secretary oil
War. 1t appears that his name was
erased by no official order. but was
done by the contributor In 1852 at the
"reouest" OF Caleb B Smith, the preju-
diced Secretary of the Interior at that
time. Mr.. Davis was the ablest man
wb, has ever held the portfolio OF Secr'-
tsry of War and the request for The
era-urs Of his name from the tablet on
this wonderfully constructed bridge was
a small piece of business to cay the
least and reflects no credit on Mr.
Smith. whose name had long since been
forgotten. The bridge was planned,
constructed and nearly completed be-
fore the civil war broke out. Mr..
Davis, whose administration as secre-
tary OF war was responsible for the
aoueduct, held this important place for
eight years before the war began. Tee
bridge had no connection whatever
with the war and at that time MIR.
Davis was as much the Secretary OF
War for the North as for the South,
without reference to later differences.
The Washington Aqueduct, in other
words, was started historically under
the direction of Jefferson Davis and not
Of blank space as the tablet now indl-
Gates. Therefore, for historical reasons
II for none other, his name should be
restored. The credit should go to the
man to whom it irrevocably belongs
and will forever belong, no matter
what position be held later or What
feeling there may have existed sgsins
him 10 war lines.

THE PATRIOTIC CITIZENS Of the Com
mon wealth view with alarm the action
OF the constitutional convention sitting
as a committee OF the whole, IN mutilat-
ing the Bill of Rights. This instru-
uent was never intended to have the
force of municipal law, prescribing
what is right and prohibiting what Is
wrong. It's object is. as its title in
liicates, to he declaration OF the nat
ursl or Inherent rights OF man. II is
just ground for apprehension, therefore,
when we see, ss cons quence Of the
amendments which it ia proposed to
make TO it, that the effect will be to
deform and debass it into mere penal
code 1t was expected and anticipated
that the convention would eliminate
from it the o 'jecliooable sections which
hid been added by the Underwood
constitution, end thus leave the sacred
declaration of the citizens rights as il
IL TO be found In the constitution o.
1851. l. is yet hoped that this will be
toe result of the convention, work
wheo.th "Dsclaration of Rights" is SUBJ
mitied to 1t as a body. If not, the
citizsns of The Commonwealth will no
longer regard the instrument. as it Is
now sought to make it, as a "Declars-
ton of Rights," bat will refer to the
paper as it came from the hands of the
Fathers, altogether ignoring and dis
regarding the monstrosity which 1t is
intended to substitute for one of the
most prOmineut aud revered monu
ments marking the progress and history
OF the Commonwealth.
