. Tbe great blunder of the County CommiS'
sioners In putting off tho building ol tbe
lower Frenob Creek bridge and neglecting
the upper one ooe until the aeasonjof storms
and high. water was close upon lis, la now
apparent to everyboby and a serious datrl
moot to tie busioess of the city. While
teams could lord the creek tb lack of the
bridges was not so apparent, but to-day
Frenob Creek is impaspable except to foot
passengers. Suob a state of things In a
town like this could only exist by tbe gros
sest mismanagement or unusual stupidity.
It would never have happened In tbe case
or private individuals; it wbould have been
Impossible under tbe management of a rail
road corporation, or an loorpated bridge
Oampany, because In any of , these cises tbe
men chosen to attend to such business would
r
ave been selected because tbey were fit for
e place. Such bundling as a blockade o 1
Freuch Creek at tbis lime ol year could
only occur under tbe direction of public
officers, nominated and elected under the
present system, without any regnrd to busi
ness qualifications or any qualifications
whatever. Charity leads bs to place this
contlruction upon the neglect ot tbe County
Commissioners. Tbelr ofllce Is one renuir
ing first-class business capacity: and if, in
Connection witb it, tbe magnitude ol the
duties to be performed is too large for tbem,
tbe fault is wilb the people who put such
burdens upon snob men more than with tne
men themselves.

This morning a singular looking craft
pased down the Creek. It coutained the
worldly effects of some individual wbo was
taking bis family west. The craft ran
aground a short distance above the Hubert
bridge, but through tbe exertions of Jim
Meloney, the well known cartman, it was
set afloat and tbe man went on Ills way west
rejoicing.
Oil Looking Up. A crisis In tho oil
business appears to have been reaohed and
safely passed. There bas of late been such
an exiraodinary falling off In tbe production
of oil, that the present yield is hardly up
to the actual consumption, and everything
predicts a rise io tbe great staple, and a
Suanclal cbango for the better in that ex-
eusive region with whose prosperity the
Oilizens ol our country ere so olosely con
nected. Nothing but Ibe immense wealth
previously accumulated in tbe oil regions,
backed up by indomitable courage and en
terprise oould have given the business men
of the dll regions the bottom to wilhstoad
the pressvre of such bard times as for over
a year tbey have experienoue. Wo rejoice
that they begin to soo daylight. James
