THE RAILROAD ACCIDENT IN New JERSEY.
The late terrible Railroad accident in New
Jersey, and the want of care which might
have prevented it, is exciting the attention of
the press. The Baltimore Sun says of the
affair:
The responsibility for this distressing affair
will be question for the proper authorities
to determine, and it is to be hoped that a
thorough and searching investigation will
prove the matter thoroughly, and expose the
guilty negligence or risk which has caused
such fearful results. We have read a series
of rules and regulations for the government
of the officers of this road, and they were
sufficiently stringent and comprehensive to
have prevented such an occurrence as this
II is certain that these rules have been vioat-
ed; and it is equally clear that something more
than rules and regulations are necessary for
the protection Of the public, when they can
be violated at the discretion of the officers of
the road.
Nothing can obscure the fact that one or
the other Of the two trains was on the track
out Of time. If they were not, the time tables
are Mt fault and the blame lies elsewhere
The untoward intrusion Of the horse and
carriage upon the track is the accidental cause
OF this disaster and had that not been there
a'i would have passed off well enough, and
,he passengers might have never known that
,,hoy had been exposed to the risk of a col
hslon. But that risk had been guiitily en-
ceountered, and one or the other Of the trains
had no right to be where il was. These
minute movements upOn single truck roads
VIII always be productive of like terrible ca
lam't'es. There must be "grace time" for the
passing Of trains sufficient to cover any posi-
c'e difference in watches, and this "grace
tme' should never be used but at the peril of
instant dismissal from the service of the
company.

A PARAGRAPH WE WISH COPIED BY OUR
ExcHANGEs.-Some of the anti American or.
gans continue to reterate the false and absurd
statement that if full vote had been pOlled
in this city Col. Preston and the anti-Ameri-
can ticket would have received minority
We have exposed the entire falsity Of this
statement heretofore and now refute it again.
The largest vote ever cast in this city was
considerably less than 5000. The American
party at the last election polled 3,074 votes
for Morehead and 3,008 for Marshall, exclud-
ing the vote of Portland, being more than a
majority Of any pote erer polled in this city
After o'clock in the afternoon hardly any
votes were given by either party, hut up to
this the majority for the American party was
steadily increasing, and there can be no doubt
that If there had been no disturbance the vote
of that party would have risen to at least g..
500 or $500 votes; and by no possibility
could the anti American vote have exceeded
$500 votes. The attempt of the anti-Ameri-
can organs heretofore to magnify minority
of at least one thousand votes into majority
is too impudent and barefaced for toleration.
If The ballot bor had been carried 10 erery legal
poter in Louisville on Monday last The maJori-
ty ,could hare been at least one thousand rotes.
Ii none but votes of native born citizens had
been counted the vote would have been as 6
or to I. or the $500 votes we have esti-
mated for the anti-Americans in this city fully
three .fourths are foreigners.-Lou. Jour.
