it be possible that the editors of the Union
knew nothing of the. history of the proclama-
ton of August &c, 1876? Have they no friend
who could save them from figuring 30 constant
~ as models Of dishonesty, or monsters Of igno-
rance?
If, as the Union declares, " the Aberdeen
and Louis Napoleon Ministries seriously medi-
tate an interference in the affairs Of this hem-
sphere" and our relations with Spain are
threatened in the name of common sense let
us not throw away the emily means we have for
securing our own protection. Let us not take
the money with which we ought to build navy,
and give it to Santa Anna-whatever the man g
character may be-to consolidate his empire
in Mexico Even the Union-bold as it is
dare not assert that he could be of any use to
us in case we were, as the Union fear, in
yolved with the European Powers;' it is far
more likely that in such an event he would deal
with us as he dealt in 1916, and use the weapons
we had given him against ours Ives. What the
Unions notions may be of ''the part of wisdom,
Of enlightened craftsmanship" we neither know
nor care butwith an implacable enemy on the
South, and defenceless seaboard exposed to
the attack Of any foreign feet, we think it is
rank madness to prefer setting up Santa Anna in
Mexico to preparing for our own fence, and
guarding our own safety.

everywhere within the past twelve months has
been in keeping with the spirit manifested in
the section we have alluded to. New hotels
have decorated the metropolis equalling 10
splendor and brilliancy the regal halls q
Europe. Gorgeous saloons have been opened,
where the humblest artizan may take his meal,
surrounded by as much magniicence as ever en-
closed feasts and banquetings of monarchs.
Libraries, immense and numerous, have sprung
up in our midst, where the intellectually in
clined may commune with the wisdom of ages,
and the mind keep pace with luxury and mate
rial prosperity.
What is the lesson of this wonderful and rapid
growth, unprecedented by any other city in the
world? Does it not more than any other cir
cumstance, demonstrate the salutary workings
of our republican institutions, which, calling
forth the zeal and energy of our people, are
gradually working out the problem Of "man's
capacity for selfgovernmenf," and carrying US
on to the position of the first nation on the
globe in power, wealth, refinement and happi-
ness? That spirit Of prosperity which knocks
at our doors and lays before them the riches Of
the earth diffuses itself through every artery Of
our land, and the merchants of New York,
Boston, New Orleans and San Francisco, by
steam and the telegraph, are linked together in
brotherly communion, and the advance of any
ore city or section of the republic, directly or
indirectly, operates to the benefit of all. Adj
hitting this, and considering the advance made
in our city during the last year, who can pre-
dict the future of our country.

We have seen what measurs have teen taken
in Eng land for the prevention of railway acct
dents. Let us see what causes secure to rail
way travellers in France the immunity they
enjoy.
The French legislation respecting railways is
based throughout on the principle that they can
carry passengers safely, and that therefore,
when IL ey 20 not, the failure is owing to some
negligen, Of tie superintendent or managers
for which it is right that they should be made &C
countable. Accordingly, the law Of 18th July,
1876 the ordinance of 18th Nov, 1916, and the re-
clement which carried out the provisions Of both
published 3lst December, 1876, contains whole
title on the subject of the safety of passengers
on railways. 1t is a most careful and elaborate
piece of legislation. Almost every possible con-
tingency is foreseen, and o severe penalty at
tached when blame can possibly be brought home

that tie principal cause of railway accidents was
larity and want of punctuality heavy fine is
imposed upon companies, for every minute that
their trains are behind time, either in starting
from or arriving at station. Negligence is
presumed in every case it remains with the
railway company to show that accidents occur
ring on their line have been directly caused by
the hand of God, and could not possibly have
been foreseen. These laws have always been
strictly construed and unfinchingly executed.
To their character is due the fact that while in
this country one railway passenger is killed
every day on an average, and in England, until
very recently, upwards of two hundred and
fifty deaths occurred every year from the same
cause France has only witnessed one serious
railway accident in the course of twelve months,
and but five lives have been lost.
Z These facts are wholesome matter for refec-
tion 1t would be as easy for us to cut down
our awful mortality table to an annual list Of
five deaths as it is for France. All that we
should require would be law framed on the
basis Of the ordinance of 1916. By passing
such law, Congress would prove that our fed
eral legislation has not altogether become a
farce

Prophetie:-The following remarkable pas,
sage was written twenty years ago, by the Duke
of Ragus, Marshall of France, died not long
ago at Venice. 1t appears in his memories,
published before the commencement of the Tur
co-Russian difficulties:
If an Anglo French Fleet passes the Darda-
ntlleS and arrives at Constantinople-if at the
same time $4,000 men of the Alliance take up
their posi- ton at Adrianople, the Russian Squad
ron viii retreat to Sebastopol and will not again
venture forth; if the Car passes the Danube
and sends his army to the Balkans, he has to
fight at once with the Turkish French and En-
glsh forces, and by supposing the nonneutrali
ty of the Court of Vienna, he is exposed to all
the dangers Of an Austrian army, coming upon
him from Pennsylvania"
This is the startling prophecy, even for a
Marshall of France
