THE NORWALK MASSACRE.


6 five did not hold human life and hap
piness at higher estimate than we do
money we should not continue to dwell
on subject that is almost too painful to
be dwelt upon any longer. But sense
of duty impels us.
Situated as our press is at the capital
of this free and christian nation, we are
compelled by sense of obligation to God
and man to continue our exhibitions of
facts and our appeals to the people with
regard to the late fearful Railroad slaugh-
ter.
Our contemporary, the Boston Bee,
makes the following suggestions:
eve believe thatif the following things
were secured by law On all railroads.&c.,
wider roads I'd, fewer and less angular
curves: Sd, broader tracks, so as to have
a wider basis for cars: 4th. better draw
bridges-that the number of accidents in
this country would be reduced from so
to IS per cent. We hope the day is not
tar distant, when no charter shall be
granted without it embraces these impor-
tant points. 1t will make railways more
expensive, we know, but also more safe.
We have had too many accidents and hui
man slaughters.
These are the true grounds of action.
Let the people be brought up to the point
of demanding them at the hands of their
law makers, and all will be well.
Another contemporary, the Philadelphia
q. S. Gazette, says:
"The French law, of 1845, on the gen
eral management Of railroads. contains a
chapter providing for the greater safety
of passengers. The 22d clause makes all
owners or lessees Of railroads responsible
to individuals and the Safe ior injury
caused by managers, directors, OF. any
people employed in any capacity in the
working of railways. Other clauses enact
penalties against those through whom
accidents may be brought about, and for
the mere uaolHion Of regulations establish.
ed by the King or Projects for the man
agement of railroads, eren ubere no acct
dent rcsul'ed hergrom."
This is sound principle. Make the rail
roads pecuniarily responsible for all the
losses of life and property that occur upon
them, and these wholesale butcheries Will
soon cease in the land.

GIFTS TO Mrs. STOwE.-We hope for
the credit of the country, not less than
for her own self respect, that Mrs. Stowe

lady whose position places her above such
temptations. would thus compromise that
position. The $3.50 gift at Liverpool,

Mrs. Stowe cannot have gone abroad for

The Journal hopes in vain. A late ar

Correspondence Of the Daily Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Mdu Il, 1853.

bALlIhohE, IIuJ ID, 1000.
The contemplated erection of the NAM
moth Hotel at the corner Of Calvert and
Baltimore streets, has sunk into oblivion
already, the parties deeming it bad
speculation, and not having nerve enough
to carry their design into execution to
try the experiment. This is much regret
ted by our citizens, for we want some
thing superb to accommodate the rapidly
increasing travel through our city, and it
is notorious fact that hotel Of the first
class is much needed in Baltimore, we
being sadly behind the age in this respect.
However, if the capitalists of Baltimore
will not erect hotels for the travelling
public, foreign capital will, for | under
stand company Of New Workers design
erecting magnificent structure not far
from the location Of the above contempla-
ted site. It is to be hoped that they
may carry their intentions into effect in
the face Of Baltimore timidity. MARS.
