The northern papers denounce in severe and
meriied terms the human buicherics constantly
occurring on their lines of public travel.by the
carel.ssness or incompeiency Of those who
have charge oil them. The collisions that have
recently happened On the Camden and Amboy.
and Providence and Worcester roads. could
have resulted only from the most criminal
misconduct and recklessoess. There is no
doubt whatever as the Baltimore American
,emsrk-) at If the regulations Of a abroad
are strictly obeyed, collisions OF trains cannot
occur; and public sentiment seems settling
down to the conclusion that those who, through
recklcssness or carelessness. cause the death oil
passengers committed 10 their charge, ought
TO be held amcnable to laws specially enacted
to insure The public safety. The accidents TO
which all kinds of travelling are subjected.aod
which are beyond The reach Of the uImos, care
and caution, are frequent enough and often
times excussIle but irightful collisions of
trains, arising from violations Of orders, and re.
sulting in Wholesale destruction Of life and
property, ought to be regarded as criminal Of
fences of the deepest dye, and visited with ad
cquato punishment Apart from the injury
done to the community, accidents from care.
lcssness reflect the greatest disgrace upon
those who are entrusted with the control Of
and besides being direct violation
of their implied pledges TO the public. their oc-
currence can hardly fail toproduce feelings of
rctnorse In The minds OF all through whose neg
ligenoc or innltention they occur.

Religious Newspaper Controversies.

Baltimore, to Judge from the columns
of the Clipper, has for some weeks past
been in stew over a war of elimination
and recrimination between lots of dispu-
tatious gentlemen, who from praising
their own creeds and practices in the
public prints, have got to abusing those
of others, with even more zeal. Such
controversies so conducted, only serve as
arguments from which scoffers draw
ammunition for their war against all re-
ligions and creeds. They debase the
character of the christianity of our land,
being replete with evidence that the
writer's are filled with pride. envy,
bigotry, prosecuting spirit and all per-
vading illiberality-characteristicsw which
make their pretentions to be defenders Of
the true faith absolutely blasphemous, as
it were. Turk never abominated chris
tan in the dark age of the Crusades,
when christian, too, fancied he was
serving the Lord by cutting the Threats
of those who failed to believe as he did, y
with more apparent relish, than seems to
be manifested in the spirit with which
this Baltimore controversy is carried on.
What good for the community is to
come of it, we cannot imagine. Gentle
men, we pray you moderate your zeal, il
but for the sake of the pure and holy
cause you are all bringing into contempt
in your efforts for it's indications Your
are all fighting shadows, gentlemen.

the councils of the nation. The idea that
we can long have . prosperous foreign
commerce carried onin American bottoms
without Navy adequate for its protec-
ton, credits the governments of Europe,
our commercial rivals, with an inclination
in any case to do justice with the full
knowledge that we are incapable of pro-
tecting our rights, should they invade
them. He who credits those governments
with any such intentions, must shut out
from his memory all the leading facts in
volved in the history of the dealings of all
of them with other nations.
Posi- OFFICE STAMPED ENvELopEs.-A
correspondent of the Star says:
1t has been announced that these envelopes
will be furnished at 50 20 cents per hundred
for those stamped for single postage, the charge
being for envelopes alone fee for a cent. Now
II want to obtain dollars worth, I get thir-
ty-one. and hence pay seven cents for that
number of envelopes, which is at the rate of
more than t,centy-t,ro and q half cents per
hmndred. Now where does this excess 60
Into the Treasury or into the pockets of the
Postmasters Will you or the Department
enlighten us on this subject X.Y.Z
Welearn, oninquiry, that these stamped
envelopes are sold at the post Offices for
the most part in packages Of $50 at 1920,
50 at SLIGO, and 25 at 80 cents. If our
correspondent had therefore been content
to buy either 100, so, or IS he would not
have been shaved in his purchase. 1t is
the habit in all post Offices to cause the
customer, not the Office, to lose the frac-
ton when exact change cannot be made.
The propricty of this will be obvious on
recollecting that, otherwise, loss of the
Postmaster would in the aggregate be
considerable from this cause. We fancy
that in the particular case to which our
correspondent refers, there was some mis-
take in making change-that' all.

Russia and Turkey,

Inc hour at which we yesterday received
per telegraph, the Arabia's important
news, prevented us from commenting upon
It, 1t tells the tale, we take it, of the be-
glnlng of war, the end of which the
mind of man knoweth not. All the civil
llzed world unite in the belief that since
the days of the truly great Peter, Russia
has been preparing to act towards Turkey
as she seems now about to act. The
times seems propitious for her bloody, I'M
Just and monstrous intended crime. Yet
we hope and believe that she has greatly
mistaken her occasion. Her cabinet are
calculating strongly upon the apparent
complete subjugation of all the various
peoples of the European continent ; know
ing too, that her aggrandizementko any
point she may desire, is the interest of al,
the European reigning families. We are
not among those who believe that the last
unsuccessful efforts of the peoples of Eu-
rope to obtain their political and civil
nights, have served really to discourage
them. On the other hand, we conceive
that they have merely served to impress
upon them the belief that by acting in
concert, sacrificing individual interests
for the time being, and coming forward
to the work with more unity of will, they
must succeed in putting down those who
would perpetuate the chains of civil and
political disabilities under the weight of
which they groan.
Now, in this eastern contest, Austria
and Prussia, or rather the governments
Of those countries, must stand with the
Gar, who owns them, politically; for
they only live, move, and have their being
IN his will and pleasure. France and
England are bound, sooner or later, to
side with Turkey; not only from their
commercial necessities, but because popu-
lar will with them is all powerful The
sympathy of the English for Turkey is
truly philanthropic and patriotic, while
that of the French grows out of their ha-
tired for Russia and their national desire
to engage in a great war with some power,
without being particular as to what power
1t may be.
The war-cry with which England is to
enter into the contest cher aristocratic
government being forced into it by popu-
lar opinion at home) will be-down NTH
dsspotism! How long will England be
fighting Russia with that motto practi-
cally emblazoned on her every banner.
before it does its work on the people Of
all Germany and Italy, who are every
where kept down Tor q tranquil" as the
bulletins express it, only by the bayonets
pointed at their breasts as they pursue
their daily business avocations.
The great day of reckoning is fast ap-
preaching, or we arevery much mistaken.
The ambition and selfshness of Russia
are to be the instruments or causes firing
the train which is in the end to consume
the elaborate superstructure of special
privilege under which the toiling millions
Of Europe now chafe with ten-fold more
impotence than they manifested ten years
ago, when they were comparatively igno-
rant Of the ease with which, by thorough
combination and properly arranged
effort, they may obtain their liberties.
