LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.

Attempted Hobbery.
Avery daring attompt was made, uu Wed
nesday night, to rob a couple ol iron safes in
the store of Messrs. L. 11. Duck & Cos., by
blowing them open with gunpowder. The en
trance was effected by prizing open the iron
shutters at the back of the store; and from
the altered position of the safes, which were
very heavy, it is supposed that there were
several persons in the party. The experi
ments seem to have commenced with the
larger safe. It was turned over, lock side up,
the powder inserted, and the door forced open
some two or three inches. Chisels Were then
applied, hut without success. The robbers
then took down the smaller safe from its
stand, and this time were more successful, it
being literally blown to pieces: the ceiling
was also broken overhead, either by the con
cussion or the Hying fragments. The money
in it, however, gold to a Considerable amount,
was left untouched; but the papers it contain
ed were just beginning to take fire, when the
police arrived and stayed proceedings. It is
supposed that the robbers retired to await the
effect of the report upon the town ; and aft it
turned out, that effect was fatal to their en
terprise. The noise of the report is repre
sented as not having been very loud. The
demolished safe was an old one, and had been
in possesaion of Messrs. 1). & (Jo. about twen
ty years.

Montgomery Slow Coaches.
Each of the papers published in the city of
Montgomery, have many subscribers at this
office, No paper comos here from any place,
bo irregularly as these. The Columbus Sun
invariably beats them to this office. — Wctymp
ku Spectator.
Certainly, we do have the wonderfullest luck
in getting about the country! We are fre
quently tickled by paragraphs like the above;
and have inquired particularly of the Sun how
he manages. “ Well,” Hays he, “you know
I’m a little fellow and the Postmasters are
good to me. I never blow ’em up ns long as
they treat mo well. Another thing, 1 rise
early. I broakfast in Montgomery, and get
to Wetumpka to/linner. Often whilo lam at
breakfast, I can hear the Montgomery papers
snoring it off, when they ought to be looking
for an inside seat in a safe bag Lastly, 1 al
ways take through tickets when I start any
where.” Wo understand it now—it’s quite
plain.
Mr. Buchanan’s Bachelorhood.
In view of the fact that Old Puck, if elected,
will be the first Bachelor President we have
ever hail, wo seriously advised him the other
day, not to be singular, but at once undertake
to get kimself a rib, suggesting to him a pret
ty girl. Our Bachelor brother of the Enquirer,
demurs, and hints fondly of an old maid or a
rich widow. Be it so. He knows better than
we, the tastes and predilections of the ancient
and honorable fraternity to which he belongs,
and wo do not undertake to dictate. We must
also apologise for our presumption ; but being
as yet a long ways from the shady side of thir
ty, wo, in the natural ardor of youth, sugges
ted a pretty girl, our own wishes being lather
to the thought. We hope our venerable friend
will excuse us.
In this connection the Alabama Journal says,
the ladies will give Old Buck “Jessie” for his
neglect of past opportunities. Will they?
Then wo congratulate him. Wo never knew
a Jessie in our life but she was the most—
pshaw! a confounded fly has dropped in the
ink aud we must get some fresh for continua
tion of the delightful subject. We may add
here however, that the distressing application
alluded to by the Journal, should bo spelt,
** Jesse.”
The President’s Speech.
President Pieroe’s late speech endorsing the
Cincinnati nominees, aud delivered from the
window of the White House, is having very
general circulation. It is a magnanimous
speech, aud has greatly elevated its author in
our esteem, as a man. The President at his
window, the crowd beneath—the one speaking
in eulogy of one who may be his successor—
the other listening patiently to their Chief Ma
gistrate, presented a spectacle upon which tho
eye may dwell with patriotic pleasure and
pride. Where else than in our own beloved
land will you find one to match it ? The whole
world cannot afford an example so eloquent of
true greatness, and of good government. Its
simplicity makes it sublime!
♦
The air, from all quarters, conies to us la
den with the fumes of gunpowder burned upon
the altars of Buck and Brock. A great deal
has also been done in the way of flag-Hying and
illumination. Liberty poles sport their gau
diest ribands, and windows run gutters of tal
low and sperm, throughout the land. The
work of ratification is going on briskly, and
Buck aud Breck need not fear to break ns
soon as they like. They have so many en
dorsers.
We regret to learn of the death, at Worces
ter, Mass., of Mr. L- McCleary, by- the prema
ture explosion of a cannon while firing a sa
lute. A lad named George Williams was se
verely wounded in the arm, foot and face; and
a Mr. Bartlett had his thumb badly torn.

dignified and graceful; five feet nine inches

a slight auburn colored moustauche. The
Morning Post thinks there are no reasons po
litically, why the Prince should not marry tho
Princess Royal ; hut docs not add—if she will
have him.

Bridge or No Bridge P
Upon this question our citizens will be call
ed to vote to-morrow, and as it is a subject of
very great importance, be the result what it
may, we propose to-day, a Candid and thor
ough examination of its merits. Pecuii.ttrriv
speaking we have not the slightest interest in
the matter ; and us to personal convenience,
almost none. Bui it is our duty ntfjmbl'c’
journalists to ascertain whether or not the pro
posed measure’bo conducive to the interest of
’ a mnjorlty of our citizens, and to govern our
selves iiceordingly.
The circumstances of the case arc very pecu
liar. We remember no similarones. Certain
parties procured from the last General Assem
bly the right to erect a bridge across our river
at some point above the present crossing, and—
not collect toll, hut present it to the city,
she having the benefit of nil the profits,—in
short becoming absolute owner. From what
we can learn, the question has teen made one
of “uptown” vs. “downtown,” but not legiti
mately so, as it seems to us. The question is,
shall the city of Columbus, not uptown or
downtown, accept a free gratis gift of a val
uable public improvement, which will add to
the convenience of her people, increase the fa
cilities of access to her market, swell the re
ceipts of hor treasury, aud thus lighten the
burden of taxation to uptown, and downtown
as well? No matter what may be the motives
of the donors. They are willing to make the
gift. Is Columbus willing to accept it? This
is the true question before tho voters to-rnor
roW ; and be it remembered there is no taxa
tion in the matter. Tho city has not orlce to
put her hand in her pocket. It is a free gift.
Will she take it ?
Uptown says Yes; Downtown, or a portion
of it, No. Our last named citizens are appre
hensive of a depreciation qf their property. —
For ourselves we do not anticipate it; We be
lieve that it will be found in the end, that both
bridges will bo profitable in the way of toll,
and not more than sufficient to accommodate
the travel and trade that will pass over them.
It is our opinion that the bridge will hurt no
body and benefit everybody.
But let us look at the question of right. If
uptown interests demand a bridge, and it can
be obtained without taxing down town to pay
for it, have they nota right tp the convenience.
Granting for argument’s sake, that down town
property would be depreciated somewhat,
(though we do not believe it) is that a reason
why up town should forever be debarred from
increasing the value of Ait property? What is
this but a consummation of the very object
which down town so strenuously objects to ?
and that too in a very different and far more
objectionable manner ? If anew Grocery Mer
chant with strong friends the country round,
were to establish himself in our city to-mor
row, lie would do so at a cost to every other
similar merchant in the city. Every dollar’s
worth that he sold would be that much out of
their pockets. Must new men therefore be
forbidden the town? Every new improvement
--►every addition to a town, be it bridge or
merchant, is made at some cost to somebody.
Things are so constituted, and we cannot alter
them. But we may, and should, take care lest
the loss to one party far outbalance tho gain
to the other; and that the improvement be
made without infringement of right and jus
tice. These rules we believe may be complied
with in this instance. If down town be a loser
at all, it is our opinion that it will only be
temporary aud insignificant; and we farther
believe that she will eventually find herself
benefitted in the way of diminished taxes, and
a greatly increased general business, in whose
profits the whole city will participate.
Thus far we have spoken of public interests
generally. But there is a specific interest,
itself conducive to tho public interest, which
wo should foster and encourage by every le
gitimate means. Wo allude to the largo Factory
interest of our city. Also, though many may
not have thought of it, there are some consid
erations of humanity involvod in this question
—we allude to Factory Operatives. It is noto
rious that the former is shacklod, and the lat
ter deprived of comfort, and often health, for
want of more roomy houses. At present the
evil is without remedy. The Operatives can
not bo better provided for on this side of the
river, for want of ground on which to build.
Dwellings on tho other side are precluded at
present by the great distance from the Facto
ries Which would have to be overcome. An up
town crossing would remedy the evil—give to
Operatives healthy and comfortable dwellings,
and enable the factory proprietors to enlarge
their scale of operations.
Among smaller objections to the bridge, wo
have hoard it said that it will diminish the re
ceipts of the present bridge, and also occasion
the expense of an additional toll-keeper. As
to the former, wo presume it makes little dif
ference which hand the city pockets her tolls
with: a thousand lost below, is a thousand
gained above. As to the latter, it would boa
strauge reason indeed for refusing $50,000, for
instance, that it would cost SSOO to buy a safe
to keep it in. Another point occurs to us, and we
are done with the argument, aud will take up
the appeal. It is worthy of remembrance, that
there are no vested rights whose preservation
can embarrass this question. It is very true
that tho charter of the present bridge forbade
tho building of a second one within three miles
up or down. But why ? To prevent tho city
from ever building a second one, in case of
need? By no means. It was simply to pro
tect her against private competition. The
same authority which enacted that prohibition
for the city’s welfare, has repealed it for the
same reason; audjobviated all difficulty by giv
ing her permission to accept a bridge at tho
hands of the projectors. Let it also be re
membered that the present bridge was located
where it is for the express accommodation of
“ down-town. The original charter provided
that it should cuter the city at the end of what
is now Franklin street; but the bulk of the pop
ulation having settled below, the location was
changed. Had the charter been complied with,
it is quite possible that down-town would now
be the applicant for a crossing; and if so,
what would she think if her sister were to de
ny her.
Knowing as we well.do, that giueroeity mot
justice are not things of latitude anil longitude
—that they may ilourish as exuberantly down
town as up,, we call upon our friends in the
former ection to come tip to the polls to-mor
row, not only acquiescing in the new move,
but prepared to do the handsome thing, ur.d
show their magnanimity. Columbus is not done
growing yet —far from it. There will be bu
siness ill plenty for up afid down-town to do.
It does not follow either, that because a pur
chaser comes to town over the up-town crossing,
be cannot find his way down. It is not location
that insures custom. So conduct your busi
ness, friends of down-town, with energy,
promptness, and faithfulness, as to have your
selves sought out wherever you may be. That
is tin* secret after all, of doing a good busi
ness. bet us appeal to you, in conclusion, to
ponder well the question at issue, and strive
to approach tho polls not alone with an intelli
gent vote in your hands, but with that noble
sentiment in your hearts which inspired that
gencrolu- utterance, “Live and let Live.”
Financial Bank Broke!
A young son of Ethiopia, fresh from the
scene of the late attempted robbery, passed our
office yesterday, and pausing before thh door,
yelled across the street in a very excited man
ner :
“Jim, been ’round to see the busted bank?
There’s a bank busted round there!—broke all
to smash!”
Wc hope the announcement will not create
a panic.

How Does the Money Go ?
A great deal of money is being collected
here and in the East and West lor Kansas.
The collectors call for “aid for Kansas,” and
carry round with them a bundle of Times and
Tribunes, full of blood and murder stories
about Kansas doings. Let the benevolent be
ware : very little ot the money obtained by
these worthies will go to Kansas. The balk
ol it will be used in the election hero, to favor
the nigger worshipping candidate ; the collec
tors will excuse themselves to their own con
sciences by saying his triumph will help Kan
sas. * Those who do not wish, therefore, to
further corruption in elections here had better
give nothing to the Kansas collectors. —A’. U.
