THE LATE APPALLING RAILROAD CALAMITY.

Below VIII be found at length the heart-slcken-
ing particulars Of the avn, We vii not call y
accident, but wholesale murder, whicn TOOK ps's0
on Friday last on the Connecticut Railroad Lam
guageSfais US in expressing the mingled feelings Of
horror and indignation with which this dread catas
trophe fills us, and must fill every bosom throughout
the land Itisonly however, the climax Of similar
sacrifices Of li less in extent, not in culpabilty,
which are constantly occurring The questions on
every tongue are, What is to be done? Can no
punishments or penalties put stop to these wan
ton, appalling calamities? A contemporary we'll
asks, Are the people to be thus plundered Of their
lives forever2 Are these hecatombs Of human
life to be thus daily offered upon the altar of No
sloch, to be sacrificed to the cupidity Of men? Is
there no remedy for this utter recklessness this
inhuman carelessnesp, that deals thus with the bo
dies and limbs of men--crushing the one to death
and shattering the other Is there no punishment
(which can be made to reach those who, by their
guilty negligence, thus spread anguish and suffer
ing and death all through the land? Shall these
horrible accounts of the killed and wounded, Of
fathers and mothers destroyed in the presence Of
their children, and little children mangled and
mutilated and tortured and slain in the presence
Of their mothers, come to US by every telegraph
and be the burden Of the daily press Shall the
cry Of despair and sorrow meet no responsive note
Of retribution? Shall the shrek of agony that
comes up from amid the fragments of these terri
bic collisions, or gurgling up from drowning men
and women, be unheeded? I? Talk not Of the negi-
gence of conductors, or brakemen, or engineers.
The responsibility is higher than that. What
right have presidents and directors Of railroad cor
porations to give their human freight into charge
of men who will thus >recklessly give it to de-
struction 7"
