POLICE GAS ES.—The following eases were before Samuel Evans, Esq.: Assault and Battcry.—George Slants made complaint against Jacob Harman fur assault and battery. The defendant is a pugnacious individual, and made divers threats that no ono would take him; but "01d Ironsides" was not to be intimidated —ho very soon had the cleflind..nt caged. The facts in the abovo case are as f'ol lows•: On Saturday evening last, the defendant and several other Germans were tippling tit Miner's tavern, on the Lancaster pike. The defendant soon left the party and re rilained outside for the purpose of way laying tjell2, when they came out. After wards, whilst they were walking down Cherry street, the defo.:dant knocked George Shants down. George Miller who was in the Vicinity went to the rescue of Shants, when the defendant desisted and advanced lo biSpor Shants, and kivi . clied him down. Miller again 'interfered, when the defendant went; and' linoeked clown George SI ants again, and Kicked him in the time with his boot, injuring him. se verely. The defen d ant also knocked down 'Michael Ramer an.l John Reanicker, iof the same party. The defendant would have floored the whole party, but for the skedaddling of several of them ? s ~. The Geimans named, have been in this country but a few weeks, 'and seem to be quiet and harmless. They say they were taken Unawares, or' perhaps Harman would not have got off so easily. In de fault of bail; the defendant was committed to jail to answer,, ' 1 , Surety of the Peace .— Catharine Harman made complaint against same defendant 1 for threatening to kill her. COLUMBIA BRIBoB.—At a meeting held on Thursday afternoon 13th inst., in the Town Hall, Columbia, persuant to iesolution of the Council of Columbia Borough, requesting the Cities of Lancas ter and Reading,and the boroughs of York, Wrightsville, Marietta, Manhiem, (Sze., to meet at said place, to adopt some measures to promote the rebuilding of Columbia Bridge. The following delegations ap pointed by their respective municipal officers, responded to the call, and were in attendance:—Lancaster city, Geo. Sander son, Win. P. Brinton, A. B. Roberts, Thos. Baumgardner, J. S. Springer ; York, David Small, Henry Kauffelt, Charles Winter, John M. Daitch, Emerson Case, J. Weiser, Win. Smith; Wrightsville, Wm. McConkey, George Harris, .Tames Cook; Marietta, John Barr; Manheim, Nathan Worthy, W. Lichenberger ; Manor Town ship, Jacob B. Shuman ; Columbia, .1. G. Hess. A. Bruner, Sr., Geo. Bogle, T. R. Supplee. A. S. Green, David Mullen, to gether with many citizens from adjacent townships. The meeting organized atlo'clock P. M.; when Mayor Sanderson was chosen Presi dent, James Cook, and Nathan Worley, Vice-Presidents, J. G. Ness, and John B. Bachman, Set retaries. Mr. Sanderson, on taking the chair, said that he, together with his collegues—the gentlemen appointed by the authorities of Lancaster city—were here to-clay to aid in promoting any measure which would hasten the re-erection of the Columbia bridge. The loss of this bridge is neces sarily a great public inconvenience to the counties on either side of the river, and to the citizens and commercial interests of Columbia mast almost be regarded as a calamity and he would again say, that we are willing to lend a helping hand to any legitimate measure ti at will promote its reconstruction. $160.22 Mr. A.. S. Green then remarked, that matters heretofore existed which pre vented the reconstruction of the bridge, but he hoped the Company which held its franchised privileges would, at an early day, rebuild it • personally hewas desirous to see it reconstructed. Mr. H.M. - North said,you are all familiar with the history of the destruction of the Columbia bridge. The object of our meet ing here to-day, is to adopt sonic measures which may promote its reconstruction.— The Penna. R. R. Company bought of the Columbia Bank or Bridge company, in 18G-1, the piers and corporate franchises for both bridge and ferry, and they are now its legitimate owner; and its naked and isolated piers to-day testify how much concern mid interest the Penna. R. R. company have in the trade and commerce of your counties of Lancaster, York, and Adams ; your towns of Lancaster, Colum bia, - York, Gettysburg, Hanover. we. As long as it is not the interest of this mon opoly to rebuild the brideie,as long as yow• communities will sutler the imposition of paying freight for tile eircuitoit;, route by Harrisburg, of seventy miles, when twelve miles direct, would as the same ; so long the Penna. IL R. company will not rebuild: this bridge. Whenever it is to their interest to rebuild, it will be dope, and not before, and it is for this meeting to adopt seine measures to aeeomplish the desired end. 1 know of no provision in their charter that limits the period for them to rebuild, and the only remedy lies in petitioning the. Legislature to repeal their chartered franchises. Mr. Case said he was authorized by the R. LS:, C. B. R. to purchase the old brisige, before its destruction, and was negotiating for it. After its destruction, theT went into negotiations again, to purchase the piers. Had an interview with Col. Shock in relation to buying, in conjunction with the P6 - tha... R. IL After tarii-a-.1 - some of the officers of the P. R. IL, and they told me if they bought they v. - ould buy themselves. I then went hack to the COI 01111AZI awl: - and made another oiler.— They put me on' ibr 21 couple of days and in the meantime sold to the Penna. IL R. REM Col. C. S. Kaaffmait said it was a great public inconvenience for all parties. It is not the Penna. B. 8., that own the piers and franchises, but the Columbia bridge con 'pally. The estimated cost of rebuild ing the bridge, i 553.25,000, and to make it pay a reasonable percentage, t he tolls would 'have to be doubled. flaw people of York and Lancaster county subscribe $lOO.OOO, the company will build the bridge. The 'bridge will never pay, unless other railroads are built, and bring new and more trade on it; but if the peoplp are willing to aid the company, to the extent before named, the company will furnish the balance. 7 believe the reason that the bridge has not been built, is the enormous high cost of lumber, tte. The company hoped that prices would come down some at least, so that they could build it at some thing like a fair price, but, so tar, have been disappointed. Mr. J. B. Bachman said that one year ago he, in company with other gentlemen, ap omitted by the Councils of Columbia, York and Wrightsville, had an interview with the officers of the bridge company, when the bridge company proposed to our committee that if our citizens would take of the stock of the bridge to the amount of ~ ' lOO,OOO that they would proceed with its re-erection. Our committee. inquired, would any objection be mode if corporated bodies would buy of the sto.dt? to which they dissented. Mr. Case said, let the Penna. R. E. say that they will take equal shares in the building of the bridge, and the money will be forthcoming. Col. C. S. Kauffman said that he pre sumed the Penna. R. R. Co. would not give away their Charter, but would unite with any other company, providing they hold the controlling interest. It-is not to be expected that the P R. R. Co., would allow a rival corporation to have a link of a mile of bridge, in the great chain of their public improvements. I -am as anxious for, and as mucit interested in the early reconstruction of the bridge, as any person in Columbia, and will do anything fair, to bring it about Mr. Roberts moved that a committee of three from cad' district represented, be appointed to wait upon the officers of the Columbia bridge company to see if they will build the bridge; if not, why? And whether they will deliver up their fran chise. Gen. Fisher and Mr. Brinton made a few remarks favoring Mr. Robert's resolution. The resolution was adopted and the number fixed at. three from each place. The following coinmit tees were appoint ed to visit the Railroad officers:—Colum bia, J_ G. Hess, Geo. Bogle, T. R. Supplee; Lancaster, Hon. E. Roberts, Ww. P. Brinton, J. Springer; Wrightsville, Jas. Cook, Wm. McConkey. Geo. Harris; Marietta, John Barr, Samuel I-Teistand, Barr Spangler; Manheim, Nathan Worley, Dr..T. M. Dunlap, Henry Arndt; York, E..T. Case, C. F. Winters, Dr. W. Smith. Gen. Fisher moved that the Mayor of Lancaster and Chief Burgesses• of each place should be members of tho coin mittee. After which the meeting adjourned to meet on Friday, 21st inst., at Town Hull, Columbia. MR. EDITOR :-I perceive that there is a projedt on foot to endeavor to form, be tween this time and the approaching Bo ough Election, a ‘.`Workinginen's Tizket," for the osteiksib/c piirpe,go of guarding the pecunim y interests of that valuable portion of our corm unity against : the encroach ments of the capitalists, who, in the opinion of thegetters up of this new Party, are buying up all available) building sites in the Borough, (as at present organized.) and opposing the opening of new streets that would allbrd an opliortunity to the man of limited means to buy himself a lot tor- almost nothing, and build a house therecuf for considerably less, and thus live alinost rent free. NOW, Mr. Editor, all this sounds very fine, and nifty be swallowed by a few very silly • gudgeonsT who can take any hook - , however slimly baited; but let us calmly view the matter, and see whether our "City Fathers" nre at fault, and leagued with the rich to grind the faces of the poor in this matter. In the first place, then, rents are appa rently high, I admit, and my own rent was advanced on are 25 per cent. last spring, although I was then pal ing 20 per cent. more than bad ever been paid by any previous occupant, and yet the rent, al though 50 per cent. more than the same house rented for ibur years ago, is more reasonable.now than it was then; and it ono of these grinding and conscienceless capitalists were to present me with a va cant lot, (which of con rsfri in their grasping, avari2ious char:wit/Ir, they are not likely to do,) I could not erect the building thereon, at the present price of labor and material, for a sum that would let me live at as cheap a rent as at present. I do not say this, Mr. Editor, iii the in tent of the capitalist, by any no ens, for I do not own as much ground in or near the Borough as would - bury me, (neither, I presume, does the one who is so anxious to protect the interest of the poor by the formation of this new party), but, I say it to guard the, working men aaainst the in sidious wiles of partisans, who will stoop to anything low and mean to accomplish a party object, arid the only object at which the movers in this matter aim, is to sneak a few Copperheads- into the Borough Councils at the next Election. This party, "from the time the memory whereof is lost," has been proverbial for pandering to the lowest passions of the less educated and intelligent portion of the eonimunity, to carry their measures, and ha. always had its largest majorities in Districts which rejected the School Systt in of the State, and always finds its prosperity advancing or receding in inverse ratio to that of the Cominon Schools--mark that, and "stiek a pin there." This party ha-. just barely survived an Election in which thev staked their all, on the hone cit.:arraying tile igno rant and uneducated on their side by ap pealing to their prejudice against the col ored race. They went into the conteld with the Battle-cry of "Nigger ! Nigger!! Nig ger ill' They sutlbred a most iznomini ous defeat, but not capable of appreciating the fact that "the world moves," and that there has been a system of Public Instruc tion in operation in Pennsylvania for the last thirty years, which is annually grow th., in popular favor, and, in consequence of that increa-ing popularity, annually in creasing in usefulness—this Party, I say. unable or unwilling to attribute their de feat to the right cause, viz: the increasing intelligence of the people, is again appeal ing in this matter, to the. lowe:,t prejudices of the ignorant, anti endeavoring to array labor against capital, the poor against the rich. The old cry of "the rich oppressing the poor" was_ tho one that led to the "Bread riots" in New York seine years ago, when the banners; inscribed "Bre id or Blood" were carried by men in broad cloth with ten-cent segars in their teeth, and thcn and there those banners had their effect ; but "then and there" are not "now and here," as the prime mover in this Workingmen's Party w ll discover; and he will and that some other rallying cry than "Cheap Building Lots" will have to be invented before he can inveigle fhe in telligent workingmen of C'olutabia into voting for Copperheads at the ensuing electilin. Next week I may enlarge on the subject of the extension of the ton n, and the opening or the streets, bid time will not permit at present. So, till then, adieu. Yours, fie., A Womoxtr MAN. Columbia, Dec. 12, 18(;c3. -4 <SW 4.- MR. RAmno I—ln the perusal of the col umns of another publication dated Dec. 6th, my attention was drawn to an article signed " ~olumbk,•' from which the read- ors of that, newly fledged jonrnal may in fer that onr Council are remiss, or not ca pable of peribrming the duties imposed upon them. In extenuation at the chargcs preferred against the Council, it is proper to mention that the act incorporating our Borough was granted on the 16th day of April last; said act repealing all fo mer i t statutes and ordinances, co I:,equently im posing very . arduous t dru s „raga ?a , _ pse - o , Vent'Cotinell, requh ving ' hem to en , u.t many ordinances and by-laws for our ma- Die pal government. Smee the period of our incorporation, oldie:wes pertaining to all corporative power-4 granted in our charter, have been made, the pr;tJ or wisdom of which. have, I believe, beer. Ihvorably appreciated by our citizens. The streets and alleys of our Borowrh are in better condition at the. pr,s( zit, time than at any other period in the history of I our to , xn. Bill, the great harden of "Co- I hunbia's" complaint is that the Council are not opening streets. If "0,1111mbia" , had carc'ully examined the section to Wilitlh he so often refers, he would discover that power to survey and lay out proceeds I the power to open streets. Our Council have now art experienced engineer engaged in the survey and lay ing oat of the entire territory embraced within our Borough limits, which, when completed and adopted, we ;lave no doubt but they will direct to ly, opened from tune to time, as the growth and necessity of our town fly require. We have Ito hope. 4 that our Town Coun cil will ever con:*er upon us a government SO celestial as to make our towo a New Je rum:dem. Neither do we i•ealize a period when croaker will cease to prate and /waddle. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS Ir:A.I)INGS 47. RECITA:rfONS. JAI TUESDAY EVENINU, DEC. 18th, At ODD FELLOWS' ITALL, By Rev. C. W.
