Two or three of the list might have been improved, as the duties required are.not political or leg- islative, but rise higher and demand the services of the most practical, philanthropic, and experienced men of •the State—whose wisdom and saga- city have been thoroughly tested.

EDITOR !*—Commissioner Siioz- MAKEK baa investigated the Rhodes plan of » Wood Bridge, which was especially advocated at the Bridge meeting, and finds it entirely unsuitcd to onr cectssi- ties. In consequence of this result, I de- sire, through your columns; to place be- fore the public the following tetters, pro- position.", and reccommensJation?, in favor of Iron Bridges, also an extract from the Philadelphia Press, together with a few statements pf.^feci, accidentally omitted by me at the Bridge Meeting at the Court House. The following are statements in my po- session, mad© in writing, by the (gentle- men ihemselve*, and who have the abili- ty to do what they say. They propose to mil© contract and ask no pay until the work is completed, and accepted by the Commissioners. The Bridge thnt MR Degraff speaks of in Rochester is one of the roost complete and perfect structures of 11 e kind in western Nevv York,and with what information I have be-n able to "lean on the subject, there is nothing that will equal or surpass it for beauty or econ* omy but a Suspension Bridge. The opinion of Mr. Campbell is that the Masonry should bo made at a less cost than the offer of Mr. Couway. Now, Mr. Editor, if there is enterprise enough in one-tenth aid perhaps not .more than one-twentieth cf the popula- tion and tax paying abili.y ot the town to build a church, at a cost of about thir- ty thousand dollars to be used one or two days in a week y it not reasonable tosup- pose that they, together whh all the bah aace of the town, can defriy the cost of a safe and permanent Bridge, »bi c h four to six hundred persons p.

SIMON DEGRAFF, Corning, March 28th, 1867. Mr. Degraff proposes to take $5000 of the town Bonds, at 7 per cent interest, on a term of years in part payment, if the contract is given to him. * Proposal for Masonry: Masonry on Piers and abutments to the same style work as Bail Road bridge. Abutments of rock face, and good size stone for $12 per cubic yard. Bailing and draining $400. Earth ex- cavated 25 cents per yard, Spiles per foot driven 38 cents. JAMES CONWAY.

GOFF, Dear Sir:-Jn reply to yours of the 28th:—A suspension Bridge, such as you want, may be put up with wooden towers for about $15,000 to $20,000. As I do not undertake such works, I would refer you to Mr, H. R. Camp- bell, Civil Engineer No. 117 Pine St., Philadelphia, who is competent and in this line of business. I herewith enclose my Card of Wire Ropes and Cables. Respectfully Yours, JOHN A. ROEBLING. Letter from Mr. Campbell, above refer- red to*. 117 Pine St. Philadelphia, April lCjlSGr. B. GOFF Esq, Corning N. Y.—Dear Sir.—I inclose to you the little article on Wire Bridges, of which I spoke and which I cut' from the ''Press 17 of this * city of this date. It was only to draw attention of our citizens to the plan of wire bridge, as superior in every thing.but particular- ly in reference to long spans and econ- omy in first cost, over all other plans. My full belief is that in 20 years more of experience upon it, it will super- cede all other plans of Bridges for all purposes, but certainly for ordinary travelling bridges. They can be made with wrought iron Girders and so nearly fire and rot'proof, by kyanising the little timber used in it as to last for 80 years without outlay for repairs. It would have afforded me pleasure to have gone round with you when in this city, to show you the various bridges w© have, had my time allowed me to do so* I appreciate your taste in reference Id wire suspension bridges.— It is the only plan upon which bridges- can b© mad©-- in very long spans with any required degree of strength at only a moderate cost for additional strength in Suspension Piers and Cables and Suspenders, I would like to hear how you succeed in getting the plan adopted. You can build a very cheap wire bridge if you will, but I advise you to build only a safe and good one. I remain very Re- spectfully, Your ob't servant, H. K.

No one will deny that bridges, as ordinarily built, are a ser- ious obstruction in the river, not only to navigation, but also to descending freshets, which happen two or three times every year. To erect stone arch- es, iron arches, or any other compara- tively permanent bridge, costs too much money.

Th© Eepoljlicaii Stat©' Convention met at Syracuse; Hon. J . H . Gris-*M$ Iff. C„ of Troy, presided. As in the eastern portion of the State there are ceveral Senate Districts that will elect only Democrats,!! was generously deckled to frame the ticket,so as to eiir mm the Bepresentatlon of the Kepub-llcan® of that portion of the State, and therefore four Delegates from the 1st

, Indicia! District,tiiree from the 2d and three from the .3d were nominated,thus giving only one each t £ the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7tfr Districts.

Th© Delegates chosen are eminent and capable men. Two or three of the list might have been improved, as the duties required are.not political or leg­islative, but rise higher and demand the services of the most practical, philanthropic, and experienced men of

•the State—whose wisdom and saga­city have been thoroughly tested. The following is th© list from the several Judicial Districts s

CHIBBEN, Member of Assembly from Monroe Co., in favor of the eight hour Law. Mr. & knows from experience the hardships of th© laboring classes, and his speech is an earnest and con-

credit on the people of the town for tbeir cnterpiise and economy.

I have been charged with an unfair par­tiality for an Iron or vfire Bridge; I con­fess that I nave a deeidW preference fot such bridge?, and that preference has re--suited from such investigation of the sub­ject s I have, thus far, been able to make.-Those moft experienced invariably advise us to get all the iron we can into the Brio go. •• » *

Parties in favor of Wooden Bridges have not yft come forward with plnn% propositions, or rtcommendationp, wbbh wculJ warrant the authorities in adapting them. My seeming indifference at the Bridge Meeting to spt>ak in favor of Wood Bridge?, was that I found so little to rec eejmmend thlm, and I was unwilling to consume the time, trustino- there would faf among the advocates of such Bridges, some who could present fasts and figures which I could not. I Lave little doubt that nine-tentbs of the taxpayers of tha town would be in favor of an Iron or Sus­pension Bridge, after the same investiga­tion of the subject I have made.

The delegation from Chemung Coun­ty presented the nam© of Elijah P . Brooks, of Elmira, for nomination as delegate to the Constitutional Conven­tion from Chemung County.

The delegation from Scnuyler County presented the name of Abraham Law­rence, of Catharine, for delegate from that county.

Probably Mr. Wilson, having been indebted to Mr. Cobb and other lead­ing Republicans of Tioga Co. for his re-nomination, sought to ha v© an ••anch­or to tfe;©windwari*,lln'i»s©i of a recast of parties, and thus obtain additional strength next year to ensure himself a /illrci term.

The Senatorial Ticket for Dele­gates to the Constitutional Convention is one that will give general satisfac­tion. The nominees are all eminently capable for the discharge of the respon­sible duties of th© position. They will earnestly endeavor to fulfill the high trust reposed in them. They were the choice of the people of their respective districts, and will be equally acceptable outside of their particular localities.— All have been conspicuous for devotion to the principles that are dear to all friends of humanity, and they are in full sympathy with the progressive spirit of th© age.

Ma. EDITOR !*—Commissioner Siioz-MAKEK baa investigated the Rhodes plan of » Wood Bridge, which was especially advocated at the Bridge meeting, and finds it entirely unsuitcd to onr cectssi-ties. In consequence of this result, I de­sire, through your columns; to place be­fore the public the following tetters, pro­position.", and reccommensJation?, in favor of Iron Bridges, also an extract from the Philadelphia Press, together with a few statements pf.^feci, accidentally omitted by me at the Bridge Meeting at the Court House. •

The following are statements in my po-session, mad© in writing, by the (gentle­men ihemselve*, and who have the abili­ty to do what they say. They propose to mil© contract and ask no pay until the work is completed, and accepted by the Commissioners. The Bridge thnt MR Degraff speaks of in Rochester is one of the roost complete and perfect structures of 11 e kind in western Nevv York,and with what information I have be-n able to "lean on the subject, there is nothing that will equal or surpass it for beauty or econ* omy but a Suspension Bridge.

The opinion of Mr. Campbell is that the Masonry should bo made at a less cost than the offer of Mr. Couway.

Now, Mr. Editor, if there is enterprise enough in one-tenth aid perhaps not

.more than one-twentieth cf the popula­tion and tax paying abili.y ot the town to build a church, at a cost of about thir­ty thousand dollars to be used one or two days in a weekyi« it not reasonable tosup-pose that they, together whh all the bah aace of the town, can defriy the cost of a safe and permanent Bridge, »bich four to six hundred persons p. M daily. I 0 .

Proposal of Mr. Be Graff, of Syracuse %o ouUOKin Iron Bridge: I will build your bridge complete,

foil* th i r ty four dollars per lineal foot; bridge *to be eighteen feet from center of truss, single roadway, wi th two trusses, workmanship and style, qual­ity of material to be the same as Clar-rjasa street bridge in the City of Roch­ester. SIMON D E G R A F F ,

Corning, March 28th, 1867.

Mr. Degraff proposes to take $5000 of the town Bonds, at 7 per cent interest, on a term of years in part payment, if the contract is given to him. * Proposal for Masonry:

Masonry on Piers and abutments to b© the same style work as Bail Road bridge. Abutments of rock face, and good size stone for $12 per cubic yard. Bailing and draining $400. Earth ex­cavated 25 cents per yard, Spiles per foot driven 38 cents.

J A M E S CONWAY.

Corning, March'27th, 1867.

Mr. Conway will also take $5000 town bonds on same conditions as Mr, Degraff.

The* en tire cost of this plan will not exceed $22,000. •jk$ter from J i r . Roebling, Builder of

MEV H . GOFF , Dear S i r : - Jn reply to yours of the 28th:—A suspension Bridge, such as you want, may be put up with wooden towers for about $15,000 to $20,000.

As I do not undertake such works, I would refer you to Mr, H . R. Camp­bell, Civil Engineer No. 117 Pine St., Philadelphia, who is competent and in this line of business.

I herewith enclose my Card of Wire Ropes and Cables.

Respectfully Yours, J O H N A. ROEBLING.

Letter from Mr. Campbell, above refer­red to*.

117 Pine St. Philadelphia, April lCjlSGr.

B . G O F F Esq, Corning N. Y.—Dear Sir.—I inclose to you the little article on Wire Bridges, of which I spoke and which I cut' from the ''Press17 of this *

city of this date. I t was only to draw attention of our

citizens to the plan of wire bridge, as superior in every thing.but particular­ly in reference to long spans and econ­omy in first cost, over all other plans. My full belief is that in 20 years more of experience upon it, it will super­cede all other plans of Bridges for all purposes, but certainly for ordinary travelling bridges.

They can be made with wrought iron Girders and so nearly fire and rot'proof, by kyanising the little timber used in it as to last for 80 years without outlay for repairs.

I t would have afforded me pleasure to have gone round with you when in this city, to show you the various bridges w© have, had my time allowed me to do so* I appreciate your taste in reference Id wire suspension bridges.— I t is the only plan upon which bridges-can b© mad©-- in very long spans with any required degree of strength at only a moderate cost for additional strength in Suspension Piers and Cables and Suspenders,

I would like to hear how you succeed in getting the plan adopted. You can build a very cheap wire bridge if you will, but I advise you to build only a safe and good one. I remain very Re­spectfully, Your ob't servant,

-The cheapest of these brilges is the Hire Bridge at Fairmouifc. I t has stood, with moderate repaip, for some twenty-eight or thirty yeai . offers no ntrpediment to the floods o the river^ and, though it was the firs nf its kinff in ou;r city, and cannot now be regard­ed as/ a* Very fair speci men f a suspen­sion bridge, it cannot be de ied that it has been a successful expei ment. t

Since its erection, the N igara sus­pension bridge, of eight hi ldred and fifty feet span,for crossing 1 comotives, cars, and common travel, h s also been erected.and has stood wit h in t accident or sign of failure for many the same ab|e engineer the Niagara bridge has en pension bridge over the O cinnati, of the magnificent thousand and ffty-sevenfe pier.

Extract from the Philadelphia Prests S I R : The rapid extension of the ©ity

w o t of the Schuylkill, and the concen­tration of railroad depots in West Phil­adelphia, seems to render a bridge ov­er the Schuylkill almost indispensable at ©very street. No one will deny that bridges, as ordinarily built, are a ser­ious obstruction in the river, not only to navigation, but also to descending freshets, which happen two or three times every year. To erect stone arch­es, iron arches, or any other compara­tively permanent bridge, costs too much money. The Chestnut street bridge is qui tea creditable piece of en­gineering, "barring" its hemlock pier betoto law water mark, and its great ele­vation and steep grades on both sides
