hours he expired. lNew.Haven Journal.

and at the same time to recommend what have
strongly argued, unavailingly, through the Press.
the proprety and necessity Of all engineers and
conductors of railroad locomotives adopting this
rule that when any person is seen walking on the
track before an engine, to take it for granted az
Tags that he is deaf, or blind, or insane, and at
once let the motion OF the engine be regulated &C.

valuable lives might have been spared instead of
hurting them into eternity, causing them 10 linger

EY' The Providence Journal, who has watched
these matters with more attention than any other
paper in the country, is decidedly of opinion that
Sir John Franklin is still alive They suppose he
is further TO the West and North han the English
navigators have imagined and that he is rather TO
be sought for through Behring's Sraights 1t is
supposed he might have entered that Sea which il
believed to lay around the Pole, and have pro.
crossed too far to the West to be reached through
Bafin's Bay. Some navigators, after passing over
the immense icy barrier have discovered an open
sea beyond, through which Sir John may have
passed. Hartford Courant.
RAILROAD AccIDEST.-George James, a deaf

FROM WASHINGTON.
The GaIDhin business.


! WASHINGTON, Saturday. Nav H.
| a fact has leaked out within day or two past
| in regard to the examination before the Galpbin
Committee that has caused good deal of talk and
speculation, and increased the anxiety for the an.
pearance of the Report. As it 10 stated to me, the
circumstances are these: In the examination of
Mr.. CRAWFORD before the Committee, its Wing
members were particular in showing by Mr. CRAw.
FORD, that in stating to Gen. TAYLOR that he had
claim against the Government, he did not say il
was to be prosecuted before member of his Cabi.
net nor did he state the amount or character of the
claim nor the extent Of the interest he had in il
This completely separated the President from all
knowledge OF, or connection with this Galphn
claim. All that had been stated to him was. that
he, Mr.. CRAWFORD, had an interest in a CLAIM,
against the Government.
II seems that two or three days since, a commu.
nication from the President was sent to the Com
mittee in which it was stated that although he
knew nothing Of the character or extent or amount
Of the claim yet that if such knowledge had been
communicated to him by Mr. CRAWFORD, it would
not have changed the purport Of the reply he made
to the Secretary of War. This letter Of the Presi.
dent is good deal chuckled over by the Loco-Vooo
members Of the Committee, and suppose 1t will
be perverted in efforts to impicate tho President
in some way with this Galphin outrage.
The question that arises is, whoss suggestion or
influence was it that prevailed upon the President
10 transmit such communication TO the Committee
after they had concluded taking testimony, and for
what purpose was that letter sought If Mr..
CRAWFORD advised or suggested this, the people
should know il, and be viii ascertain hor far the
effect Of that communication will 60 in relieving
him from the responsibility that the Report OF the
Committee will attach to him. The Impression
here is among those who know anything Of the
Transaction that Gen TAYLoRs generosity and
kind disposition has been taken advantage o. In
inducing him TO address this letter TO the Commit.
tee and the principal desire is to know rA9 the
person was who approached him upon me subject
SO far from the letter having had the sngnses'
effect in meiorating the tone or terms o. N'S
Report, it has operated the very reverse sna'"s
