TUESDAY MORNING. ...........SEPTEMBER 6 —————— For Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. JOHN PITCHER, of Posey. WM. F. PARRETT, of Warrick. Prosecuting Attorney for the same.. JAMES SHANKLIN, of Vanderburgh. ======== The Franklin Street Bridge. We cherfully give Mr. Saunders the benefit of the following communication, and would be pleased to have him answer through our columns, the few simple interrogatories we have thought it our duty to append to it, for the informotion [sic] of the public. <Communicated>. EDITOR OF JOURNAL,—<Sir>:—In your issue of Saturday, there appears a paragraph relative to the Franklin Street Bridge, in which there were several incorrect statements some of which relate to myself as Engineer and Superintendent, and which, for the sake of justice and fairness to all concerned, demand contradiction. In the first place, you state that Mr. Mc Kinley proposed to build the abutments of the bridge for $20,000. This is not so, as the bids on file in the Auditor's office will exhibit. Mr. McKinley bid in the same manner as all the other bidders. The form of bids was published before the letting, and which bids had to state the price per cubic yard for excavating the foundation pits; the price per cubic foot for timber in foundations, and the price per perch for masory [sic]; and for the information of the public, I hereby give the amount as per final estimate. 2,671 cubic yards of excavation in foundation pits; 3,650 cubic feet of timber in foundations; 3,114 perches of masonry in abutments, besides the cost of pile-driving, &c. Such comparisons as that indulged in by you, relative to a bridge built elsewhere, of as great a span as the Franklin street bridge, for half the cost of the abutments, is calculated to mislead the public. The bridge abutments would cost as much, though the span were only half what it is; or, in other words, the "span" has nothing, whatever, to do with the cost of the masonry in the abutments; the difference is in the superstructure a small item when compared to the cost of the masonry in this, or any other bridge of a similar description. A comparison can only be instituted when all circumstances are equal. The cost of procuring materials, price of labor, &c, in all cases, are the principal items to be considered. You might say, with equal propriety, that a house of given dimensions ought to be built for the same cost in Henderson as in Evansville, where the price of material and labor is so much cheaper. As regards the remark relative to the letting of the contract to Mr. Hugo, I suppose, that the Commissioners acted according to the best of their judgment and in consonance with their oath of office, and also to what they considered to be the best interests of the county. The contract was awarded to Mr. Hugo in consequence of his being the lowest bidder; Mr. McKinley having failed to procure acceptable bond.— Mr. Hugo subsequently re-let the stone cutting and building as well as the excavation of the foundation pits, after delivering 1152 perches of stone to Messrs. Guslin & Pillsbury and after doing so he turned over the remainder of the job to them, they giving a new bond to the Commissioners, which act released Mr. Hugo from all risk. As to the unfinished state of the abutments, allow me to inform you that they have been completed since the middle of June, although their contract gave the contractors till the first of November. In conclusion allow me to state that I write this in justice to all persons concerned and to set the matter truly before the citizens of this county. This is the only excuse I have to offer for thus appearing in your columns. Very respectfully, JAS. D. SAUNDERS. Was not the original estimate of the $28,000 as the cost of the bridge, based upon your calculations of the work? How is it that the two abutments have cost more than the expense of the entire work, as estimated by you? At what per cent on the whole cost, will you insure, by good bonds to the county, that the abutments at the Franklin bridge will not, within five years— like those of the bridge at Codey's mill, built under your superintendence,— slip into the creek, or tumble down? How does the final estimate correspond with your original estimate, and what has made the important difference? Has the work, as accepted and approved by you, been done according to the rigid specifications on which it was let? Has the stone been laid in good cement, or poor lime mortar, which will fall out the first time the piers are inundated? When these are answered other interrogatories will be propounded. We know that Mr. McKinley calculated that the entire stone and timber work for the abutments, npon the terms of his bid, would not exceed $20,000 to the county, and allow him a clear margin of $5,000 for profits. We did not allude to the Anderson bridge to compare the costs of the two structures, but to show that a good and efficient contractor had been rejected, and the job given to another at greatly increased prices, and without good reasons; for the security offered by the former was better by fifty per cent, than that accepted from the latter. We now learn that the Anderson bridge has a span thirty feet longer than our bridge—with abutments, laid on timber foundations, containing 900 perch of stone, and the entire cost of the structure was less than $12,000. The cost of the Anderson abutment was less than $4,000 ; allowing $1 50 a perch for the transportation of the stone to this point, the cost of the Franklin street piers, us they now stand at the same rate, ought not to have exceeded $15,000. To this may be added the cost of the

<pile driving>,a matter which, in the opinion

of good practical men and engineers, ought to have been avoided by increasing the span of the bridge—excavating the banks of the creek, and securing a good foundation in the tenacious clay which is found in its sides. This was done at the Anderson bridge. Mr. Saunders says that the abutments were finished in June and have been received. In the opinion of good bridge builders they are very far from being completed; without extensive wing walls, they can never sustain the heavy fill which their intrusion into the bed of the creek and great hight, will require. Practical men predict the first heavy rise, after the fill is made, will tumble them into the creek, and the extravagant cost of this structure will be a total loss to the county. We invite the citizens of the county to visit the location, and examine these splendid specimens of engineering,—monumets [sic] of folly and extravagance,—and see whether in these narrow walls of rock, they have gotten the worth of their money. Let them reflect while viewing them, that the sum of $30,000 expended upon these tottering, illbased structures would have been sufficient —if permitted by tax collector to have reremained in their possession—to have erected a factory to run 4,000 or 5,000 cotton spindles, which would have employment to hundreds of idle hands and an impulse to the businees [sic] of the city. Engineering errors are costly mistakes to those who foot the bills. Poor engineering is worse than no engineering at all. The amount which must now be expended on the superstructure and fill would have built a good bridge at the Salt Well and made the old bridge at the mouth, secure for more years to come, than any prudent man will insure the Franklin Bridge to stand, for a premium of 80 per cent of its cost. ———<>—— The Canal. The canal boats Morgan and Princes both passed the Summit level on Saturday, and have arrived here with cargoes from Petersburgh. The canal is now in good order from here to Toledo. We understand from Mr. Lawrence that he has over 300 tons of freight on the way from the lake. Shippers might now, we think, order their heavy freights by the way of canal, without fear of any undue delay. The work is now in better condition than it has ever been. A new era in our canal navigation has, we trust, begun. We understand that the calls of 50 per cent. on the subscriptions to the canal have been promptly paid, except those on four persons in this city, whose obligations amount to about $1100. The calls of 50 per cent. on this sum, with the water rents now due, would liquidate the balance due for the repairs, and leave the Board of Managers nearly free of debt. It is mortifying that some of our own citizens should be the only ones to repudiate a contract that has resulted in so much good to the city. The whole cost of repairs to the Lower Division of the canal has been about $12,000; most of the work has been done at nearly half the estimates made for it by the Trustees. The leaks along the whole line hare been thoroughly and effectually stopped, and a heavy waste of water thereby prevented. The City Council ask the right of filling the public cisterns from the canal for a certain sum, with the power to grant certain priviliges to citizens to tap them for private uses. As this would deprive the canal managers of a great many smaller water rents, they properly refused to comply, unless the city pay over to the canal a portion of what they collect on the sub-leases. ———<>——— The War the Moitey sloes. The export of specie from the port of New York from January 1st to August 27th, 1859 a period of seven months was $4 7,000,000; and from Boston about $10,000,000 ; making a total of $57,000,00. The receipts in the same period from California and other sources have not exceeded $28,000,000. The difference ($29,000,000) has has been drawn from the banks and the pockets of the people. The hanks of New York held on the 1st of January last, in round numbers, $29,000,000 in specie; they held on the 27th tilt., $21,500,000; so that they have lost in the aggregate, during that time, only $7,500,000, whilst the excess of exports over imports is $29,000,000, which excess was drawn in the main from the vaults of the New York banks. The City Banks have sustained the pressure of the foreign demand tor gold, by draining, in turn, the country banks and the pockets of the people. The difference be' tween $7,500,000 and $29,00,000 has been drawn entirely from the people. In other words, the country is just $21,500,000 poorer in coin than it was on the 1st of January last. The Pittsburgh Gazelle pertinently asks : How long can the people stand this drain? We are still importing goods at the rate of four or five millions a week; we are still shipping coin at the rate of about a million a week over onr imports from California and other source ; and we suppose that this will continue as long as the interior is able to furnish New York enough gold to keep her bank reserves from falling below $20,000,000. It is a worthy subject of inquiry to ascertain, if possible, the limit to this ability; if this thing is to go on, as it would ! seem, until the resources of the country are exhausted, it would be well enough for those who are devoting themselves sjiecially i to financial affairs- to look a little ahead and be prepared tor the possible results of that exhaustion. A free negro was arrested last week : at Carrolton, Green coanty, Illinois, and tried for violating the law which prohibits j the immigration of tree negroes, and fiued 1 $65. Being uuahle to meet the demand, j he was sold for sixteen months to a man who paid his fine. Qu Mr. Dickens has declared that his engagements in England preclude his coming to America for a lecturing tour, under any iuducemeiits of profit that could be offered him.

A sharp boy in New V in-en virsuing, with considerable ui un-i-uai hmw oi etcaung. no " ingratiate himself with little boys, and t l them to lelieve that if he had some gold, or jewelry, to show to a goat, the animal would be attracted by theshining metal and fonow hira wnerever he went. Then he WQuld indute them to g0 home and bring hi whatever iewelrv or money they could T - mr w - find, promising to catch a goat for them with it, and return the articles to them, so that they might take them home again without their being missed. Wheu his little dupes brought him such articles or money as they could find, he would induce thein to return for a little salt, or something of the kind, of which ho pretended that goats were very fond, and during their absence escaped with his booty. The number of deaths in the city of New York, for the week ending the 27th ult., were 632 ; a decrease of seventy-eight as compared with the preceding week. Of these eighty-three were men, eighty women, two hundred and fifty-nine boys, and two hundred and ten girls. This is twenty-five less than for the corresponding week of last year. 0C the whole number, four hundred and thirty were of ten years and under, whilst the week before the deaths of children numbered five hundred and eleven. There were two hundred and sixty-four deaths from diseases of the stomach, bowels and other digestive organs, one hundred and eighteen from the brain and nerves, one hundred and eleven from the lungs and throat, twenty-nine from eruptive diseases, twenty-nine from general fevtrs, and fifteen from violent causes. Mr. Patton, a respectable merchant in Lafayette, in this State, left home three weeks ago on a trip to Chicago, taking his little son, six years old, with him. He arrived at Chicago, and put up at the Massasoit House; the next day be paid his bill and left. Since that no traee can be found of him. The Lafayette Journal of Wednesday says that his partner, Johnson, has written from Milwaukee that nothing can be found yet to furnish a trace of him. Rumors that his absence is intentional, and for base ptirjioses, the Journal resents as most shamefully injurious and unfounded. His friends are making the most vigorous search for him in all directions. The case of McCorkle, late cashier of the People's Bank, at Richmond, in this State, causes a good deal of excitement in Wayne county. All the lawyers in the neighborhood are engaged in the case on one aide or the other. The indictment for forgery was not sustained by the court, on the ground that the alteration of figures on the books of a bank is not forgery within the meaning of the statutes. He is now on trial for grand larceny in abstracting the funds of the bank. The New York Courier and Enquirer is in favor of our government's buying out the Mormons) on condition that they will emigrate to the island of N n of the East India Arc-hip ome oth er point away from our s .tores. It frankly admits that hitherto every effort of our government towards eradicating that reproich upon American institutions, has proved a complete failure. Coaxing had no effect threats had none. Colonising the Courier thinks, is the only remedy left. Mr. Geo. Sumner, in an oration delivered or the 4th of July last, made some allusions to the services Spain rendered our government during the Revolutionary struggle. Being questioned ss to the authority for his statements, he writes that should Mr. Sparks publish his "History of the Revolution, ' the facts will be found there, from authentic sources. He also states that the eighth volume of Mr. Bancroft's history will doubtless contain them also. The Helena ShitU of the 27th ult., says this has been a fine week upon crops. No rain, and the cotton is opening rapidly all over the whole region of Eastern Arkansas. The prospect is very favorable for the heaviest cotton crop, by far, ever raised in the State. Corn, although damaged by drouth in May and June, is pretty good, generally speaking. Three of the Justices of Indianapolis have decided that the selling of liquor on the Sabbath can be punished, under the recent liquor law, and they have imposed fines for the offence. The queation will be carried to a higher court The vote of Texas, at the late election for Governor, was about 63,000. In 1850 when Texas came into the Union, she only polled about 8,000. This shows an astounding increase in the populatiou of the State. MARRIED; Thursday evening:, September 1, 18.ri0, at th (liendale College, Gleiidalc, Ohio, by Itev Joseph U Monfbrt, D. P., John W.
