Wrought Iron Cars.

We learn from the officers ofthe
Hudson river Railroad that the Di-
rectors have just ordered up four
wrought iron passenger cars for the
use OF the road. The iron cars re-
ferred to are got up on the model pat.
Iented by DR.. B. j. LaMeutta of New
York. The frame work of the wrought
iron cars is in effect an extremely
strong and stiff, yet elastic basket,
leach joint or intersection being
strengthened by rivets, and the whole
being further protected by making the
entire platform at each end, one strong
spring Of steel. lfthe car runs of
the track, falls down a precipice, or
comes into collusion with another, in
such manner that the springs at
each end cannot absorb the shock,
the car itself will spring, collapse,
twist or crumblo up, but cannot break
and crush its contents with its frag-
ments. One of the greatest dangers
in collisions, &C., arises from tue dis
position Of ordinary cars to penetrate
each other with their timbcrs, or to
shut together like the parts of teles.
cope, and another arises from the ia.
cility with which the tops and sides,
the seats, &c, separate from the more
substantial floors, and are precipita-
ted forward with the passengers.-
Neither Of these, nor many other mi
nor evils, could arise from violence to
this style of car, which is also much
lighter than the wooden ones, and
thus will absorb far less power in haul
ing it. The car is constructed en-
tirely of strips, so connected as to be
practically without joints. Should the
iron car prove successful on the Hud-
sen River Road and we do not see
how it can do otherwise, we may ex-
pect to see other first class roads 60
ing into the same arrangement.-AI-

his spirits thus:

"Ah, it appears to look rather yel-

"Yes, sir, daddy planted the yellow

"From all appearances, my lad,

"Just half, stranger--daddy plant.

An Important Fact !----Let Sal
mon p. Chase Dare Deny IL!

During John G. Breslin's term of
Office, S2O4, 900 was lost to the State
by depositing the public funds in
Banking institutions. The heaviest
loss was that of SsUenty-nine thou-
sand, eight hnadred and eleven dol.
lars and ninety;JSUe cents in the City
Bank of Cincinnati.
Here is the point we desire to make:
That institution was selected as one of
the repositories Of the treasure ofthe
State, at the suggestion and advice of
Salmon p. Chase, the present Black
Republican Governor of Ohio. Chase
wrote to Breslin telling him that the
City Bank of Cincinnati was entirely
safe, sound and solvent, and advised
him to select it as a depository Of the
public funds. Breslin foolishly and
imprudently followed his advice and
the result was q loss to the Treasury
of the State of nearly eighty thousand
dollars, very near one-half Of Bres'
Inns entire deficit.
Here it will DO found that Gov.
Chase was acting as the Agent Of a
rotten and corrupt Bank, and through
his direct agency the Treasury of Ohio
was made to bleed profusely. And
this is the same Salmon 2. Chase that
now seeks to damn Breslin, (who fol-
lowed his advice) and screen Gibson
from public condemnation for his un-
precedented peculation, faud and
rascality.
Will Salmon ?. Chase dare deny
the facts above charged9 Dare he
deny that he wrote the letter to Bres-
lin as Stated9 Ifhe does, or will call
for its publication-the letter will be
forthcoming, and the truth Of what
we have charged established beyond
controversy. Can some clever Black
Republican induce Gov. Chase to open
his mouth as to this grave and impor-
tant chargel We shall see! Ohio

MORE OF THE STATE OFFICERS
CONVICTED OF NEGLECT OR VIOLA
r1oN OF DUTY.-The report OF the FL
nance Investigating Committee, re-
vealed the fact that deposit of $50,
900 of the State money was obtained
by Mr.. Kimball, late Attorney Cen
eral, from Gibson, taken to Cleveland,
where Kimball established a private
Banking House, and used in discount
ing the notes ofhis customers. A law
of Ohio prohibits such deposits from
being made without taking security
therefor, and obtaining the written
approval of the Auditor and Attorney
General. 1t appears, therefore, that
the Auditor, as we'll as the Treasurer
and the Attorney General, must have
been a party to the violation Of the
law, or otherwise he would have ex.
ercised the power which he possessed
to prevent this illegal and improper
use of public funds.-7oIedo CON-
