The Railroad Men

Are peculiar class, marked with as strong char
acteristics as the sailors or river men. They are
literally "fast," and acquire hardihood, courage
and presence Of mind from their familiarity with
danger that places them in the very front ranks
of the soldiers OF civilization They also from the
speed with which they fly about the world, and the
business like glance which they bestow upon hourly
wonders learn TO be comprehensive in spirit, TO
give their ideas ample scope and verge about the
borders Of the universe, and so they become the
real representative men Of the nineteenth century
II was not inappropriate then, though an accident
that railroad man gave bis arm to the Princess
ROYAL Of England when she arrived with her mother
the Queen, at Paris, and that she took it mechani
icarv. Indeed bow, but mechanically, should she
take the arm OF such man !? We venture TO be
leye that she never leaned on better arm thar
that Of the Railroad man at Paris. And was nO
he AS true nobIeman as Prince Napoleon ,
When the Princess Royal takes the arm Of rail
road man, and marches off with him, while Napo
eonic Princes are standing about with palpitatinl
hearts and their hands IN their pockets We ma,
conclude that the Blood Royal Of the Iron Hors
is being duly recognized.

GEN. QUITMAN's DEsERTIoN OF THE CUBAN
JuNTA.-The Cuban Junta of New York have
published long and tedious manifesto, detail
ing the causes which have led to the failure of
their enterprise. They attribute the fnal fail
ure of their schemes to the desertion Of their
chief. General Quitman. Soon after the inter-
view of the General with Secretary Marcy,
and Just as the decisive moment arrived, the
Junta learned with surprise, as they say,
through written communication, "that I'M
der pretext of legal accountabilities-whic
. had never assailed him before, and which he
could readily have pre-arranged-he refused
to take possession of the effects; that he ex
cused himself from meeting slight pecuniary
responsibility for which he ought to have pro-
yided when he transmitted his orders, or had
the courage to accept, since it only required
his personal guaranty for an Insignificant por
ton; that he excused himself on the plea OF
new fears Of the reliability of the expected
delivery of the effects by one who has already
complied with bis engagements, and who was
at that time giving the most unequivocal proofs
of dsinterested generosity and abnegation;
that he shrank from the duty of meeting the
obligations contracted by orders and agree-
ments, and put upon the Junta this charge,
although hehad in his own hands the totally
of the funds which Cuban patriotism had re-
newed with augmentations as many times as
he had changed and increased his estimates

indefinitely procrastinate the enterprise, as
signing for it bis intimate conviction that II
would meet the most active and determined
opposition from the American Government

never be an obstacle to detain him-as if then
or ever there was any thought Of violating
the law-or as if it was probable that any ad
mnistration would at any time give its con

Oath Bound societies-A. v. Brown, "YOur
Affnnfinn y

The gentleman whose name heads this para
graph has attempted to make an argument to
prove that the pledges taken by members Of
the American party that they would not vote
for candidates for Office in whom they have nc
confdence-a pledge that no man could take
and maintain and hold communion with the
anti-American party-is an extrajudlcla
pledge, and binds no one, and that those who
take it are liable to indictment for conspiracy
This effort of the Ex-Governor has been en-
dorsed and glorifed by his party throughout
the State. Now, "Your attention" The fol
lowing is from the Washington Union, the
italics are our own:
There is something singala'Iy manly and impress
i've in the following proceedings Of the Democratic
party of Philadelphia county, Pennsylvania, at their
convention on Tuesday last:
"Mr. E. W. Power submitted resolution that
each member now make oath or affirmation that
he is not now never has been, and does not intend
TO become q member Of any secret or other politi-
cal organization which proscrbes bis ellowcitizens
for their birthplace or religion; which was adopt
ed after some discussion.
"Ald Palmer was soon after introduced, and
administered the following oath :
ave do hereby solemnly and sincerely swear,
or affirm, without mental reservation, that we are
not. now, never have been, and do not intend to
become members of any secret or other political
organization which proscrbes four fellow-citizens
on account of their birthplace or religion"
Z" One hundred and seventy-nine delegates took
the oath and subscribed their names to it."
"Mr. w. V. McGrath said he understood there
were some who desired to sign the oath with the
words never have been stricken out of 1t; and
as they had unfortunately been erring brethren Of
the Democratic party, and desired to return to il
again, he moved the word be stricken out, which
was unanimously agreed to. To this latter oath
Jacob Peters, Jr, Roosevelt Parson, Albert Stewart
and c. d. Cassaday, subscribed.
"The different candidates for sheriff appeared
before the convention, took the oath required Of
the delegates, and subscribed to it. Each Of tat
candidates srere also sOwrn to support the moa'aee
And If this is not tolerably cool transac-
ton, we are no Judge of ice. This " singulrrly
manly and impressive proceeding" goes further
than the American party were ever accused
Oft sDears the candidate to support the nom
nee. Our opponents are coming over rapid
". Before many days they will claim the
"distinctive features" as they term them,
of the American party, as their own pecu'
liar property, as ON a former occasion they
stole the Compromise thunder Of the Wing
party.
