CHEAP RAILWAY FARES.

--- ---
The working men of London have for some tirtme
been agitating in favour of better and cheaper rail-
way transit to and from their labour. Some such
convenience is at present provided. " Workmen's
trains" are run on most of the metropolitan lines,
and weekly tickets are issued to bond fide handicrafts-
men and labourers. This, however, Is not deemed
sufficient. The working men argue that, as vast
numbers of them have been turned out of their homes
for purposes of railway construction, and thereby com-
pelled to live•at a distance, the companies ought to
do their utmctit to miti-rate the hardship. It is
asked that trains be run between the hours of five
and eight in tie morning-, and that workmen's tickets
be issued daisy instead of weekly, available to
return at any tnne in case of the mechanic failing to
procure employment, and that the fares be
but one penny per journey within a radius of ten
miles from the General Post Office. The movement
is purely a metropolitan one, for in other towns the
distances are not so great as to require railway con-
venience; but its success will be watched with great
interest. One step in the direction of cheap travelling
may lead to another.

of M. Sainte l3euve, whose death has caused universal
regret. The French Academy, upon hearing the news of
his death, broke up their meeting.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

(From the Ang!o-American Times.)
A New York paper wittily remarks that, how-
ever short Jay Gould may become of gold, that after

his recent application to the Secretary of the Trea-
sury for a loan of $BOO,OOO he can never be sus-
pected of being short of brass. This is what Mr.
Gould did. When in the midst of his great " bull"

battle he despatched a missive to Secretary Bout-
well stating he was president of the Erie Road en-
gaged in Ohio in extensive improvements, that there
were no funds in the Erie treasury to pay the hands
employed, a calamity likely to create a discontent
certain to be injurious to the Government on the

eve of an election as the men knew there was cur-

rency in the Treasury, so he advised the Secretary
to furnish the money. At the moment brokers were
buying gold in millions at the direction of the clique,
of which he was a principal member, and, doubt-
less, the Erie money bags were being tossed on the
horns of bulls and torn by the claws of bears. A
reserve of $BOO,OOO from the Treasury, although
small compared with the magnitude of the operations
would be handy in paying differences ; the marvel
is the impudence of the application, considering
the disreputable business in which the applicant

was up to his neck ; in a word, his application was
to the Secretary of the Treasury for funds of the
Treasury to help him in a scheme to derange the

commerce of the nation.

It must not be supposed (and it is desirable for
investors in proposed new telegraph cables across

the Atlantic to know it) that the only companies
who intend to lay down ocean lines are those

brought out in England :
" The American Cable Company of New York, on Sept
27, filed with the Postmaster-General a written notice o:

their acquiescence in the telegraphic restrictions imposed
by Act of Congress of 1866. This company proposes to
lay a submarine cable to to worked under an American
patent between France and Amorica, and the French
Cable Company have undertaken to procure for them from
the Imperial Government the same privileges which they
are now asking from Congress."
A State Labour Reform Convention has been
held at Worcester, Massachusetts ; 281 delegates

from the Trade Unions, attending. E. M. Cham-
berlain, of Boston, was nominated for Governor.
The resolutions demanded the rights of labour ; the
eight hours' limitation bill ; the incorporation by
law as associations, of trade unions ; the limit to
ten hours as the maximum day's work in any Mas-
sachusetts manufactory ; opposition to Chinese im-
migration ; hostility to the National Debt ; and the
organization of a Labour Department in the Exe-
cutive Department at Washington. S. P. Cum-
mings, the Crispin organizer, was the moving spirit,
and introduced the repudiation plank. The pre-
vailing feature was Democratic, and General But-
ler was snubbed. The State officers nominated
were unknown outside their towns, and all the
proceedings were anything but smooth and har-
monious. On the same day, Sept. 29th, a working
man's party met at Baltimore, and nominated au
independent city ticket. We may here add that
Mr. Connolly has bten introduced at a great Trade
Union meeting at New York, and made a good
speech.

It is evident that the fight between labour and
capital is on the increase, and will centre arcutid
Coolie immigration. The Irish form the main strength
of the opposition party, while there is a growing
conviction among employers that the introduction
of Coolies alone cau save them from the formidable
organizations Leilg created by the working men on
all :ides. The Chinese now landing of course re-
ceive bad treatment in California, and the old resi-

dents are encountered with hisses when they enter a

theatre. Nevertheless, Koopmanschap is making
contracts to introduce Coolies in tens of thousands,
and the Pacific Mail Company are about to run
weekly steamers between China and San Francisco.
Much annoyance has been caused by the verdict
of a Pennsylvania jury which has acquitted Griffin,
the engine.driver whose recklessness led to the
Mast Hope disaster on the Erie Railroad a few
months ago, against evidence so clear, that Judge
Barrett gave them a " basting" they will long re-
member. It is believed that the jury were influ-
enced by hostility to the Erie directors. The facts
were simply that Griffin, when in charge of a freight
train, shunted from the track to allow an express
train to pass, fell asleep, and, with a reckless disregard
toconsequences, without knowing on awaking whe-
ther the passenger train had passed, got on the track

just as it approached, and caused the fearful loss of
life and suffering. Ile was shown not only to be
guilty of criminal negligence, but to have violated
a law of the State in disobeying the rules of the
company, but as the judge had no power to reverse
the decision of the jury, Griffin was set at liberty.
That pleasant individual, John Bowen, unblushingly
confessed,when put ontrial before thesame judge that
he had removed a rail from the same road, whereby
the Carr's Rock disaster was caused, bringing to a
cruel death 27 persons and mutilating many more.
Twice before had this hideous ruffian torn up the
track, out of spite to the company, but only freight
trains had then suffered. Bowen was sentenced to
ten years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $lO,OOO.
These trials proved that the Erie Company were
faultless in the management, in these instances ;
one accident being the result of the negligence of
their servant and the infringement of their own
rules, and the other of an act so dastardly that, if
capital punishment is ever justifiable, it would be
in such a case.
The Hon. John Rose has bid adieu to Canada,
after being entertained at a farewell banquet by the
citizens of Montreal on the 28th Sept. The arrange-
ment is that he joins the great international banking-
house of Messrs. Morton, Bliss, and Co., which has
changed its name in Europe, hereafter being known
on this side as Messrs. L. P. Morton, Rose, and Co.

Walter 11. Burns, well known in Bartholomew
House, has withdrawn from the London firm, and
Mr. Watson, late agent for the Bank of British
North America in New York, has entered the New
York firm as a partner, the Hon. John Rose pro-
ceeding to London to take up his position as partner
in the London house. More than 200 of the lead-
ing citizens of Montreal were present at the fare-
well banquet. In returning thanks for his health,
the late Finance Minister said—
" We can find work enough for the most restless and
active minds for years to come in consolidating these pro-
visions, in carrying out measures for its material prosperity,
and keeping to this duty of the day we may postpone
.p.tmlations as to the remote future, and content our-
selves with the reflection that our training will nave
fitted us for any destiny which Providence may have
in store for us when the necessity for a change shall
arrive. Unttl then lot us not lose substance by grasping
at a possible shadow. I have said that our trading has
fitted us for any destiny, and that, having all necessary
attributes of independence, we already know how to make
use of them. In proof of this, I might point to the en-
lightened and honourable manner in which Canada ful-
filled its international duties during the American war
under circumstances of a most trying character. I allude
to this to show that it is not only in respect to material
things that wo have made progress toward maturity, but
that we understand the higher duties which belong to
and that from no act of ours has any peril menaced
or complication arisen which could affect national rela-
tions. Seeing this, let us not be too eager or impatient
to anticipate our destiny. Let us beware of doing what
may bo irrevocable ; but conscious that wo aro all fulfil-
ling our work of the day, and that we are fitted for the
discharge of any duties that may arise, let us calmly
await the progress of events, assured that in duo time they
will reach maturity, and that our destiny can never be
mean or dishonourable."
Mr. George Peabody has returned to Europe,
having left New York in the Scotia. Although
very weak, his health on the whole is not worse
than when he arrived in America early in June.
Ills cough had nearly left him, but so had his appe-
tite, and his debility has been such that he rarer•
left the house, and generally reclined 2m. hours out
of the 24. It is said, however, that lately he has
been gaining in weight, and other sy niptoms en-
courage friends to hope that he may rally completely
in a mild winter climate. We believe it is not Mr.
Peabody's intention to remain long in Europe.
Among the persona of distinction who may shortly
be expected back is Professor Goldwin Smith, who
intends to return this autumn. Ex-President Frank-
lin Pierce died of dropsy at Concord (New Hamp-
shire) on the Bth October, aged 65. Next week we
will give an obituary of this gentleman, whose death
was expected, as he had long been in bad health.
The Hon. Frederick F. Low, who has been appointed
United States Minister to China, was a representa-

tive from Californiain the Thirty.seventh Congress,

and from 1863 to 1865 Governor of California. He

i 3 a man of enlarged views, thoroughly acquainted
with the business interests of the country, and

especially its relations with Asia, and is well quali-
fied to represent the United States at Peking. Mr.

Jefferson Davis arrived at Baltimore on the 9th

mstar.t.

The news of most interest yesterday related to

he dangerous state in which Lord Derby lay.

Although occasionally rallying, be remained hope-
lessly ill. The case of the European Assurance

Society was progressing during the day, and the
judge had given judgment dismissing both peti-
tions. The sad loss sustained by Colonel ilickie,
his infant daughter having been stolen by a nurse
for revenge, was exciting much sympathy, and

raising an active search. The child was taken from
Maidenhead, Berks, and traced to Hammersmith,

but no further clue has been found.

The following telegram has been received direct
'rom New York in reference to the meeting of the

Erie Railway :—" Lane, Fisk, and Gould re-elected
for five years ; APllenry not elected. Rupture be-
tween Erie Company and M'llenry." All were

aware that the Erie directors, unless bowled out by
the last " rig," must remain in. Their control
over the line was too strong for any opposition, so
long as they held, or swayed at their pleasure, the

__.
majority of the Stock. We consider the news as

unfortunate for the shareholders, as it betokens a

split between the Erie and the Atlantic and Grew

Western. It is freely rumoured in New York that
if the real circumstances of the Erie clique were
known their credit would be gone ; but it is an un-
deniable fact that the road is in good condition, and

well managed, and the late trials i❑ Pennsylvania
have proved that the company was guiltless of
neglect in the two great catastrophes which oc

curred on the road.

General Badcock, Private Secretary to the Pre-
sident; has returned from San Domingo, where he
had been sent on a secret mission, but believed to
point to the acquisition by the United States of the
Bay of Samana as a naval station. In noticing this

act the Times alludes to the recent loan brought

out by Messrs. Peter Lawson and Son for £757,000.
We mentioned at the time the advisability of mak-
ing inquiries into the connection existing between

San Domingo and the United States, as well as into
the claims of citizens of the Republic on the guano
island of Alta Vela. The arrangements now appear
to be satisfactory, as they are in direct connection
with the United States :
"1. A royalty of £1 per ton of guano sold in England
will be set aside for the service of a loan, and as the quan-
tity is expected to reach 60,000 tons per annum, the whole
amount required—viz., £59,000, may be thus secured by
the sale of guano. 2. Messrs. Spofford, Tilleston, and Co ,
of New York, owners of a line of steamers between New
York and the ports of San Domingo, have been appointed
as agents to collect the custom duties hypothecated to the
bondholders, and the collection thus passing into the hands
of a powerful American firm, the contract offers a much
more satisfactory security tLan before."
One of the finest strokes of business ever made,
if the report be true, and if the Wall-street broker, Albert

Speyers, met his engagements, would have been that by
the great houso of Baring Brothers during the late com-
motion in Wall-street. The statement is that they ob-
tained on securities deposited in London $10,000,000 from
the Treasury, New York, and on the celebrated Friday, the
order was given to sell this, $9,000,000 being planted on
Albert Speyers at 160. This transaction represents, at
least on paper, a profit something like 62,500,000, but we
fear Speyers was better at shouting, than paying as the
Now,York poet sings :

High over all, and even higher,
Was heard the voice of Israel Freyer
--
A doleful knell in the storm-swept mart—
" Five millions more ! and for any part,
I'll give ono hundred and sixty !"
The same pen thus describes that enterprising broker:-
Israel Freyer, the Government Jew,
Good as the best, soaked through and through,
With credit gained in the year he sold
Our Treasury's precious hoard of gold.
Wo hope that a man at the moment engaged in attempt-
ing to "corner" others, and to extract from them aruinous
profit, may not be allowed lightly to throw off the liabili-
ties he incurred in the attempt ; but one genuine good an-
ticipation by us has resulted. The Barings were simply
availing themselves of the best market to sell a commo-
dity in which they dealt, but there are many speculators
who have been buying and selling what they neither
wanted nor possessed, having an eye to the differences, with
a full intention of meeting their difficulties. But if their
dealings be with sharpers, who design in success to screw
out of them every cent, and in failure to repudiate their
liabilities, a real check will be given to these gambling
transactions. We may add that Fisk's Opera House has
been attached on a judgment of $117,450, damages and
costs, on a sale of $435,000 in gold, at a premium of 160,
as the gold when tendered was refused. Morrissey,
it is said, bought a cowhide for the benefit of his friend
Fisk, to recover his little bill, and sent a notice that he was
going to operate in the same sensational style as marked
the Gold Room on Friday, at Fisk's Opera, on Fisk's back,
which seems to have had the desired effect, although
the " Admiral" appears to be far from wanting in courage.
Mr. William Woodward, who has been on the
" Street " for nine years, and was reported to be worth
$2,000,000, was a leader of the gold clique. Mrs. Keep,
widow of the late Henry Keep, has $700,000 involved in
the failure of Lockwood's house. Mr. Legrand Lockwood
resigns the treasurership of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railway Company. Mr. Vanderbilt, who used
his influence to save the house, takes up, we believe, Mr.
Lockwood's interest in the line. The directors have been
summoned by telegraph to meet in New York to instal Mr.
T. 11. Banker, president of the Bank of New York, as its
treasurer. Among the gold operators was said to be the
Bank of Montreal, which had over $2,000,000 at stake.
On the 29th Sept. a party of 40 Danes passed
through Washington on their way to settle on land pur-
chased for them in Alabama, near Montgomery. They
are but the advance guard of a large emigration in the
same direction. The increase of the immigration into the
United States is not more remarkable than the improve-
ment in its character. For the quarter ending on the 30th
June it comprised 165,987 persons. Among them were 60
58 artists, 5,550 mechanics, 33 3
clergymen,
2e3n. 65 physicians,
233 butpchhyis•es, i7a4nss'eamstresses, 733 shoemakers, 756
tailors, 1,058 masons, 1,518 of miscellaneous trades, 560
clerks, 16,553 farmers, 46,255 labourers, 1,943 traders,
3,108 miners, 486 mariners, 5,699 servants, and 763 of
other specified occupations. In repect to nationality the
emigrants for that quarter were divided as follows :
Great Britain, 33,574; Ireland, 26,138; Germany, Austria,
and Prussia, 50,999 ; Norway, Sweden, and Denmark,
20,169 ; Switzerland, 1,680; France, 153; Spain and Por-
tugal, 88; Italy, 105; other South European States, 1,742
other European States, 2,780 ; China and Japan, 5,984
British North American provinces, 3,128 ; Mexico.
68 ; West Indies, 506 ; country not stated, 18,923. The
largest number, 121,413, arrived at New York; 11,606
landed at Boston. Professor Lieber has drawn the atten-
tion of the Secretary of State to the growing abuse of
making the United States the receptacle for criminals by
foreign Governments. He recommends the passage of a
law making it a penal offence for the captain or owners of
any ship to bring such convicts to America, and providing
for their return at the expense of the Government sending
them. At the same time some English papers have drawn
attention to the unscrupulous way in which some emi-
grants who had grown old and infirm in the United States
had been shipped back to Liverpool, persons being among
them who had been injured while working upon the rail-
roads, public attention being called to the illiberality of a
nation who could so act. Thus we go blundering along,
each only seeing one, and that his own side.
On the afternoon of the Ist inst. a boiler which had
been attached to the saw-mill of Messrs. Sinker and Co., of
Indianapolis, to be tried against another, exploded while
the grounds in the neighbourhood were crowded with
visitors, the State Fair progressing at the time. It is per-
fectly horrifying to read the details of the injuries caused.
Nineteen persons were ascertained to have been killed,
while nearly one hundred were wounded. Many were
literally blown to fragments ; and although all the bodies
had been removed to Mr. Weaver, the undertaker's office,
it was impossible for friends to identify some of them.
Tho Indiana Surgical Institution instantly tendered their
services, and were instrumental in saving life and alleviat-
ing suffering. Curious instances aro told of escape. A
gentleman was killed while walking with a lady who
escaped unhurt; a baby in its father's arms was killed, the
father remaining uninjured. Governor Baker was on the
ground, and a fragment of the boiler passed over Lis head
and struck his coachman, who was seriously injured. The
receipts of the Fair on the following day were given to the
wounded. The following were killed:—Wm. Demming,
John Kennedy, P. 11. Davis ; A. M. Benton, Fort Wayne :
ohr. Goulding; Daniel Hong, Lafayette; Mr. Rossiter,
Lewis Wilson ; Samuel Beverly, Paragon ; L. B. McVey,
student of Ashbury University, Greencastle ; John Wilson;
Sir. Jackson, :Memphis ; Peter Kritzer.
From San Francisco the news is to the 30th of
September. The Hon. Win. 11. Seward, Frederick Seward
and wife, Abijah Fitch, and others left that day in the
steamship Golden City for the City of Mexico, via Man-
zanillo, Colima, Guadalajara, and Queretaro. Jose Godoy,
Consul for Mexico and Nicaragua at San Francisco, died
of apoplexy on the previous night while attending the
Seward presentation at the Occidental Hotel. Secretary
Romero has brought in an encouraging statement of the
finances of Mexico. Instead of the anticipated deficit the
)receipts were $13,765,000, tli expenditures $13,500,000,

leaving a balance of more than a quarter of a million. 119
says $2,000,000 have been applied to the payment of the
Public Debt, and he draws a glowing picture of the future
financial prospects of Mexico. The census gives a popula-
tion of 8,567,000. Francisco Valez had replaced Diaz 89
Governor of the State of Mexico. General Canto had not
yet been tried for the conspiracy, but Colonel Abar had
been sentenced to be shot. Some Mexican journals dis-
cuss annexation to the United States.
We have all along maintained that while the
Washington Administration meant to act with courtesy
and conciliation towards Spain, they intended to adopt
firm and, if necessary, a coercive policy. Acts are a surer
guide to men's intentions than talk, and although General
Sickles has induced the Government to give Spain time
for the excitement produced to cool, in the hope that the
nation might recognize the fact that they never can here"
after hold the island in peace and quietness, Spain is pot
strong enough to coerce it, and the war has so added to
the bitterness against Spain that no compromise that
leaves the island under Spanish rule is possible. It ifj
asserted that Mr. Forbes's mission, notwithstanding the
denial, was to make the financial arrangements for the
transfer of Cuba to tha Cubans. While losing no oppor-
tunity of effecting this object, the Government has been
preparing for war. The fleet is now, or shortly will tlet.
fully equipped for sea. Ono paper says :—" Matters at
the Brooklyn Navy-yard are assuming a lively appear-
ance. That the Government intends some active ores-
tious, in connection with Cuban matters, is evident freln
the fact that the ironclad Dictator and steam frigate Serer°
are already coaled, and expect immediate orders to Pr°:
coed to the Cuban coast." And it is worthy of notice that.
Admiral Farragut has been recalled to Washington front
the work on which he appears to have been engaged ill
California. At tho same time there is reason to believe
that Spain will accede to Cuban independence on fair an,
honourable terms; that all it asks is not to be presseu!
under the present aspect of affairs, into a corner, and O!
Serrano and his advisers have always considered the terao
proposed as desirable for Spain to accept. True stat:.
ments are, however, contradicted so- glibly by persons 8"
authority that it is not easy to got at facts; but circa:stances, such as the naval preparations in the nti ti
States and the strengthening of the Cuban squadron 88

bear but one interpretation.
In Gen. Butler's speech at Worcester on Rai'‘
roads and Railroad Kings, he thus alluded to Comnled°m
Vanderbilt. " It is said there is a gentleman in a neighbour"
ing State who, at twenty-one, was employed in conveYietag
passengers with a single pair of oars from New Jersel;o
New York, who, by his enterprise—by taking advanta.e."
of the laws regulating the means of transportation Of Pa
sengers and merchandise —at the age of three score °o
ads
ten accumulated as many millions of dollars. Now
not object to the enterprise, the industry and energy '
11',„t y
can accumulate so much, but what we do object to is, tif
the laws regulating what has become a prime necessity e
life—the transportation of food and merchandise and the
person— the common highways of the people, by land
bear
b 3 sea, can be so manipulated that any man in a sing o 0
ieli
time, by any means, can accumulate such a fortune. g
cannot have made so great amass of wealth without tsit
from others what should have been by them enjoyed'
.re,
other words, he has got more, much more than his t
giving credit for all the ability he possesses. Ile laal:s11
be blameable in having acquired so much ; but what %IA
we say of the laws which in a country of equal rightSl
therefore of what should be equal laws, will make it P°ol3
sible for one man so to overtop all others in wealth, Will
must be produced by labour from the earth at last ?" rat
From the above specimen the tone of Geijecer
Butler's address to the Massachusetts farmers at Wei; we
ter may be gathered. He alluded to the constant CO
between labour and capital, showing that the working into
had not received their due proportion of benefit fronios
introduction of machinery, and they were now str esso
either for higher wages or for shorter time. Tlie ot,g
differed with the farm labourer, partly because the Pr to
of farming not having increased there was nothiligoe
strike for, and partly because the mon being fed sof
farmer did not feel the increased cost of the necessario
life. Out of 40G Acts passed last session in Massacbules
only one related to agriculture, showing its neglect, W°
173 were in the interests of individuals and of ecrol
tions. Mr. Butler opposed increased facilities for niee-„1011
corporations, as there was no longer a scarcity a
in individual hands, and he dealt with the railroads or,
the gains accruing to individuals, denouncing the e that
mous percentage on capital returned, as showiefloir
more was taken from the pockets of the people for
port than the legislatures were justified in perinittLitig.6o'
The Nation thus describes the speech of tue
vernor of New York, delivered about the same tifeeothef
to a similar audience :—" Governor Hoffman, on the
the
hand, urged on farmers the advantages of educatiolitaio
desirableness of having pleasant homes and taking I'4oo
to beautify them, warned the young farmers of th coterie
and disappointments of city life, spoke darkly of ;Dicli
cial pursuits, drew a glowing picture of the content t
reigns in the farm-house—which, however, did 11e00,gor
with the account previously given of the farmers force
ness to get to the city—and concluded with 01 poi)/
ment of the doctrine that the way to pay the Nation'ortll
is to labour and economize. The two speeches are OP
reading side by side for the sake of the contrast' pfe
man's reveals an amount of didactic power of whicos/ to
bably nobody suspected the existence; and it w3B 600
trace in Butler's, amidst much that is good and ir,t'rebv tIO
the evidences of his curious love of setting people do sot
ears. There are very few of his discourses which cstil
read as if he had the dolorous history of the Milken
constantly in his mind, and enjoyed it." 0 11416
