Tho New Albany 'Courier' ny: For nimo timo the project of building nil Other bridge ovur tho Ohio river, between Now Albany and Portland, 1ms been agitated, and it vory decided feeling in favor of tho pro jeot hint been developed. It Is proposed that this bridge havo three track ono for foot jiassengern, ono for wagons, and ono for a rtreot rnilrond. Wo are glad to learn that this project is about assuming definite shape and substantial form. A Mirvoy has been iniuloitud estimates eomplutod, iu view of the untorpriso being organised, and it Is ascertained that such a bridge as is contemplated can bo built for $500,000. A'o are informed that gentlemen In this citv and Louisville stand ready to Miboribo tuo greater part of this sum. 'The took, there is no doubt, would pay Inrgo and constantly increasing dividends. Tlio advocates of Woman sutl'rago will hold u national convention at Wa-hington, .Innn ary 10, at which it is expected that mr. Stanton, Lucy Stone, mid other loading ad vocates will bo preont. The object ot tho convention is to agitate the making of the proposed constitutional amendiiiuiit on Mif. frago univerml iu its character. Aim, to urge, that at least Congress inako tho experi ment of enfranchising women in tho District of Columbia and tho Territories, whero it has tho power. - Hi - Tho engineers of tho Decatur and Kust St. Louis railroad Iirvo found it impracticable to run tho line of tho road within les than n milo of tho court house at Kdwardsville. Tho trustees of tho town had voted to glvo this road f jr.,000 providing tho road enmo within one-half mile of tho court house ; as this can not be done it is a disputed question at the county seat whether to grant the '.'5,i)0(isub ecrlption or not. . Tho Washington National .Monument So ciety has add retted an appeal to the pso'tors of the religious congregation of tlie rnited States, linking them to caiuo u collection to bo taken up in their respective churcho, on the Sunday immediately preceding the of February next the amount to bo remitted to tho treiieuror of tho societ, in order that work on the monument may lie resumed. .

Tvler lacks sotno mouths of attaining ids majority. Can a minor hold a seat In tho legislature is tho question to bo met. There is no provision in tho constitution, and no decision tlint wo can find, which stales iu express terms that rep resentatives to tno general court shall bo twonty-ono years ol age. J lio constitution makes tho houo tho judge of tho qttnlillea tloiis of its members, and It innv. bv its vote droiaro that in r. Tyler has lidon" duly elected and shall retnln his sent. The question would then nric, "Can a minor hold u sent In the Legislature, when bo is not qualified under tho law to vote, his iiamo not appearing on tho voting list?" It Is very evident' that httcn a precedent would no a dangorous one, for if a gentleman who lacks n few months onlv of being of ago enn participate iu tho action of this legislative body, It is equally certain that a young man o'f sixteen woul'd not. on account ot nis age, at least, ho ineli glbio. When Henry Clay was choen United States Senator ho was not of tho ago required by the constitution to accent tho position. He, however, waited till tho day when ho completed his thirtieth year, and wo believo tneroare otner instance', ol a similar nature, on record in congress. Air. Tyler, If tho legislature, should not conclude its session boforo tho ICth of .May, 1800, enn legally tako his sent, and in tho meantime wo are not aware, ns it appears by the return', that tho district wiiien no represents lias duly choen its allotted number of members, that any va cancy can bo declared. Is is a novel question to settle, and while we have no doubt that nir. Tyler is quite n competent to deltberato upon tno weicitiy matters ol state in n ma jority ot those clioen from thi city, it is im portant that a decision should be had. Xlggcr In tlir Itlnk.
