THE DIXON CALAMITY. Tha additional particulars in regard to tho falf of tho Dixon bridgs, whici will' be fonnd clso- whero in this paper, only sorve to,bring tho ter- rors of. tha catastropho within a nearor personal appreciation of thoso who aro separatod from it by distance. It is proper that the full measure of griof, tho rourning and wecping that M1l tho ypeoceful homen of Dixon, should bave an im- pross upon tho people everywhoro, The popu- Inr protest against tho causes ultimately respon- sible for this catastropho must not bo confinod to any ono locality, but extend to all places aud all men, The scrious loss of Jifo at Dixon and tho gloom that has sot- tled over that community aro affairs in whicls the whole country and all mankind aro intorested, for tho samo goneral circumstances that lod to the fnlling of the Dixon bridgo are charactoristio of the pation and of the time. On this particu- Inr oceasion thoy brought their deadly resulta at Dixon, but to-morrow they may bo fatally attest- ed in Chicago or in nny other scction of ithe country where criminal recklessness, involving o gelfish greed of galn and official corruption, g secured a foothold. Itisnot a difficult task to show that tho ca- lumity at Dixon does not come under the denom- ination of unavoidablo accidonts. In the pros- ent ndvanced atato of science, indoed, the numbor of calamitios that may bo Included in this catogory Is vory limited. It would strain Ihoingonuity of tho most dovaut bollover in tha d-mpm'm,;{_!ou_u of Providonca to show that thero was snylhing i3 10 appalling horror that bo- tokons tho hand of tho Lord, -Ths-grgumen® that has besn o froquently advanced when great calpmitios have occurred at public places of amuso, mont and resort that aro not approved by edr- tain roliglons bodios will not Liold in_ this caso Thero wes no iuhorent iniquity in tho oc- cagion, no wickedness in the coremony, no violation of roligious rules, which will parmit tho disastor to Lo cited a8 n visitation and o punishment, A peacoful and orderly crowd of peoplo hd gathored of n Sunday aftor- noon to witness o roligious coromony. The rito of baptiam by fmmersion was to bo conferred on s number of porsons ag a result bf a religions rovival, and it ju fair to presumo that tho major- ity of those who aseombled to wiiness it wero prompted to do so by raligious sympalby, It-| was in this vory nct of religious dovotion that tho diuastor camo upon tho peoplo, The moral causes which have Leon assigned in cortnin quartors to oxplain othor disastors would becomo Dlasphemous hore, and thia toachos. tho faluity , of reagoning that seoks in Providonco an oxplaua™ ion for the orrors of man, g T'ho bridgo at Dixon was built upon a plan of truns known as the Tiuesdoll patent, Chicago- ang may recall its genoral charncter by o vecol- leotion of _the viaduct over the Northwestorn Rallrond track at tho northiorn ond of Wella ftraot bridgo, aud tho Mitlo bridges which huve beon builtin Union Pavk. Au offort has boon made for yenra to socuro tho introduction of the Truesdel) trusy ou yailroads, and it has beon un- succeasful.

A bridgo of thin construction showed wigna of falling undor its own woight, at Rook- town, U, and wag fortunatoly remoyed boforo it should bo additionally condomned hy the sae- rifico of human life, w4 ot Llgin and Dixon. Tho bridgo nt Dixon I described ns bolng ovor 500 foob In longth, Insgo onowgh to have do- mandoed tho vory bost iron and tho best work-' manship that conld bo secured in ihis pattern. Iow It slood n tost ia now woll known. Au 11lustration and deseription of tho bridgo will be fouud in anothor part of the papor, whore thoso who are familiar with thio construction of Lridges may traco its peculinritton. The point which wil bo obvious is this: A Uridgo which hae falled to securo the indorse- mont of compotent englucors, which the rall- ronds bave porsistontly rofused to adopt, and about the anfaty of which scfontifio mon havo ox~ pressod sorlous doubts, scourcs ready adoption at tho lands of county Dboards and local officlala, Mr. Truesdell established a factory at Elgin, and, from the locations whore his bridgos liave boon known ta bo on account of their fail- uras, 1t would scom that ho had successfully so- cured tho privilege of ercoting his bridgosin & raugo of countios in Illinois, Ilcre wo como,to au indiontiont of tho truo causc of tho Dixon catastropho. The jobbing common to town and county boards I8 notorious, and when we havoe numarous examplos in which unsafo bridges bave beon authorized in placo of thoso bully upon plous satisfactorily tried and teated, tho in~ foronce is that wo must look ofther to tho criminal rooklossnese of officinls who have au- Ahorized them, or to n systom of lobbying that has scourad tholr adoption, Tn oithor caso, tho authoritios who authorized the bullding of the Dixon bridge must share with the contrao- tors the responsibility of a structliro wlilen pro- cipitated 200 human bolngs into o rocky and impotuons stropm bolow, and,brought sudden doath and bodily Injury into tho happy homos of nearly a hundrod familios, ‘Thug must tho Dixon lsastor be tracod uttl- mately Lo the corruption which porvades Ameri- .can official life, Whether it takos tho form of & porsonal groed for gain, & desiro for family pro- ferment, a consideration of porsoual rolntions, sny negleet or pervorsion of publie duties that liwve beon assumed, it is corruption that hroaks out sooner or Inter, in some form or other, in o great public ealamity. It is in this scoso that the Dixon dissster has a deoper concern for ihe Amorican poople than the sympathy which common Luman naturo auggests for the beronvoment that it has brought sbout. If there Do sormons in stones, then lot the Dixon bridga prench whilo tho raplds of Rock River chaut their solemn dirgo ovor tho dend bodios that found their graves in the perversion of public trusts. THE JUDICIAL ELECTION, The gentlemen who managoed tho Princoton Convontion are by this timo pretty well satisfied that their action has not olicited any cordinl ro- sponse. All that has been accomplishod has been to satisfy tho people of tho district that tho Convontion was not a Farmers’ Convontion, nor a Peoble’s Convontion, nor anything eclse than an_anti-Lawronco Convention. Tho majority ombodiod all thouo politicinng in tho district who have & porsonnl or politieal disliko or hatred of Judge Lawrence, This latred hos beon shown soveral times heforo; but this timo it has omployed tho disguigo of o farmors’ movoment to dofeat Judgo Lawrenco. Amoug tho leaders of this nuti-Lawrouce business will bo rvecognized n number of goutlomen who, in times past, objocted to Judge Lawrenco becausd of his polities, and yot thero ig not o Democrat on the Suprome Court Bonch who i6 rogarded with higher respect ns e Judgo than is Jndgo Luwrence by the Democrats who ask for an honest Judge, and not s partisan, to prosido in tho Supromo Court. Sinco b ads journmont of the Convention, thominority have, asn goneral thing, declaved in, favor of Judge Lawrence. Mr. Swain, editor of the Monmouth Teview, » Domocratic paper, who was n delegate from Warren County, snd clearly understood the nnimus of the Princoton monting, thus, through his paper, oxpresgod his own opinion, aud the opinion of allthe fair-minded men of the district, who think the main thing to bo secured at a judicinl election is an able and uncorruptible Judge. Tho Review enys : Tho convention of furmors, called for nominating a candidate for Suprema Judge for tho Fifth Cirouit, met at Priucdton last Wedncsday, To sey that it was n convontion ropresenting (o ferming intorests of tho Mstrict, {8 & mean slender on tho louest yeomsury of tho country, 'Ilio wholo machine was monaged and run by a fow old out-worn politicluns, who nover did anLonest day's work on o farm {n thelr lives, .From many of the counties no regular delegates wera sclocted, and from othora only biero aud theron townahip grango sent up o deleggate, and by o voto of tho Convention they wero cempowered to east tho full vote of the county—in some instances ono nnd two delegatos ‘cnsting _twolvo or eigliteen volea ; and this was tho way tho farmors were ropresented, Tho nolsy crowd wanted somo- thing, buk they couldn’t tell what, Tho oflico of Su- premo Tudgo went bogging, and 1o onio could bo fonnd willlug to accopt tlis-pmination—every respectablo Iawyer dn tho distriot of aiy Jegnl acquiraments Lelng pledged to support Judye Lawrence.

Thore has nover boon a time when tho poopla of Iilinois have not had full confldonco in the purity and ability of thelr courte.
