RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS four great
lines Of railroads, as they sometimes styled
have had Il meeting a. Philadelphia, recently
Holding conventions every few months, has
been an established programme with these
great lines for some time back. So far, it has
amounted to just nothing at all, and we presume
the same result will follow their present action.
The following propositions were entertained and
approved, subject to the ratification Of the pi-
rectors of the respective companies:
LIST. An advance on existing through rates.
Cd. The entire abolition of free passes eS-
cept to certain designated officers ut connecting
roads, and drovcrs Eastward bound in charge OF
cattle
3l.-The discontinuance of NIL classes of run
ners solicitors and bll-posters; The abandon
ment of the handful system Of advertising, re-
stricting that service to newspaper advertising
solely.
4th. The closing OF all outside offices, and
requiring the transaction of all business ut inc
depots OF the roads, and in New York at the
dcpots and piers occupied by the different
! lines.
STU Reduction of speed.
9th. a difference of Toe. per 100 lbs. to be
made between sail rai' and rail and river" or
trail and lake" rates.
Boards for their approval and, ii approved, ii
I meeting for the arrangement of details, under
/ the agreement to be called to meet as early IN
June as practicable.
| The Cincinnati Commercial takes off these
propositions thus pointcdly;
1t is understood that the Eastern lines are
greatly exercised at the existing state If things
and, like drowning men are said 10, they
seem to be catching at straws TO -" them,
| selves They've magnanimously l. pose and
agree that any Western road that sh -! dare 10
! decline cooperating with them, on TIA terms to
be dictated, shall be cut off from all connection
and business intercourse. We are glad 10 hear
| this and shall await with some interest the is
sue thus made up. Our Western men have made
| sundry efforts to effect among themselves an ar
! ranGement as to rates. deadheads, &c, but have
generally managed to violate all agreements OF
the kind by the time the ink with which they
| were written had dried. They cannot keep faith
with one another; let whether the fear OF
| A little wholesome punishment will not restrain
! them We doubtless shall have a call for n Con-
vention of Western Railroad men, at an ear
| ly dav, to deliberate on the most etfectual way
! of CARRYING out the orders of the Eastern po-
tentates.
| We hope the Uriah Keeps and the Pecksnitts
! of these momentous occasions will be prompt
| in their attendance on the meeting to be called,
/ and be prepared as heretofore to surrender at
| once to the summons of their supeTiors-let
them tremhle and obey.

TnE Two BILrs-EsrKctaL'.Y Bill MoSTGoME-
Kr.-Poor Bill Lawrence, from over the river,
West, and Poor Bill Montgomery from over the
Pennsylvania line. East, are two poor. miserable
specimens OF dried up political rubbish. Both
are thrown ont upon sandbanks. They are
nothing more nor less, each one Of them, than
so much political carriou. Poor Bill Montsome-
re- appears to have the hardest time however.
His dead (poIiticnD body is treated with great
indirnitv by the Democratic and Republican
press of Washington county. and, indeed, the
State of Pennsylvania generally. They kick
him and cuff him all the day long. The Pitts
burg Union (Dem. paper) says of him;
We have no appreheusiOn.that any true Dem
ocrat can be entrapped into his support. Ills
violation of his bond given to Greene county has
fully unmaSked him, and the party knows that
an open enemy is always more honorable than
secret foe.
The Washington (Pn) Examiner, also Demo-
cratic, devoteS columns upon columns to his
benetit. 1t calls him 1.-The Great Betrayer, !"
and says:
First, he betrayed President Buchanan, and
thus misrepresented the democrats of Washing
ton. Favettc, and Greene counties, who are
the friends of that distinguished statesman
Next, he betrayed the democratic party, by vo-
ting and speaking against vital measure OF the
party. And, again. he betrayed the opponents
of tie Presidents Kansas policy, by declaring
his Partially for the English bill, which passed
Congress. And, lastly, in general way, we
NAV remark that, Mr. Montgomery has betrayed
nearly all the active friends he has ever had, and
to whom he is mainly indebted for his present
position. We hear hat FOrney, even, of the
Philadelphia Press, has abandoned our member
of Congress, because he does not regard him as
q n reliable man.
The same paper asks the question
"Where Is Nontgomery' Where is the man
who was elected to Serre tile people, but who is
neelecting and treating with contempt the PEG
pln's interests in order to serve himself! No.
reader, Mr. Montgomery is not ut the seat of
government where, as an honest man, he ought
to be: but he is over in Green county electioneer
ing for his own dear SELF Very exciting ques-
lions nre now before Congress; yet this man,
who SAYS he has such mighty influence at Wash
fugton, is not there! Ne1t Tuesday Is the day
appointed for Congress to break up; they are
nov discussing heavy appropriation bills; they
nre considering how many millions OF the peo-
pies money shall be expended; they are dellbe-
rating upon the best means that can be devised
for protecting the national character against the
insults and aggreSsions of the Britlsh,-all these
important matters, with others, are now de-
mandng the closest and most serious attention
of the President, his cabinet and CongreSS-Stlll,
Mr. Montgomery is of no more use than dead
man.
LIVERY body has left poor Bill because they
cant count on him. Even Sherrard, the other
day. must needs hit him slap before the whole
esCongress assemble" by saying that poor Bill
was oil, 'to his" (Sherards) certain knowl-
edge, trying to secure reelection.

FIremen and Jury Duty.

The following bill, introduced by Senator Hyams Of
this city which has passed its first and second readings
in the Senate, does, in our humble opinion, the ex.
empt iremen Of New Orleans great and manifest in
justice. 1t proposes to abrogae rights they had ac-
qured under previous laws, after tosome and dan
gerous service of six years in saving the property and
oftentmes the lives of their feowcitizens from the
fury Of confagrations- destroys the fruit Of
their labors-and makes them as liable to jury duty
as the balance of the community who have per-
formed no public labor whatever. This we consider
wrong and wrong at that which cannot be jus
tilted principles Of equity and fair dealing. Those
who have fairly acquired exemption should not be
deprived of it under any circumstances.
We do not believe, if the bill passes into law,
that it win be pronounced constitutional by the
courts. An acquired right cannot be egislated away
No law impairng the obligation of contracts can be
valid and no man in his senses will pretend for a
moment to dispute that the fremen of New Orleans
have not faithfully performed their part Of the
tract in the manner and form prescribed by law.
Hence, their right to exemption from jury duty is
vested right, and they cannot be deprived of it by
any retroactive legislation on the part of the General
Assembly
With these remarks we submit the bill for the con-
sideration Of our readers:
AN ACT RELATIVE TO JURIEs:
Section /. BE il enacted By the Senate and House
of Representatives. Of the State of louisiana, in
General Assembly cOncened, That the Second Section
of the Act entitled An Act relative to Juries ap-
proved March IA, 1855, and the Act entitled " An
Act supplementary to Act relative to Jurors, ap
proved March IA, 1855" approved March Is, 1856
be and the same are hereby repealed.
Section 2. BE il further enacted ETC., That the fol
lowing persons, and none others, shall be exempt
from Jury duty:
First. The officers and clerks Of both branches Of
the General Assembly, during the session thereof.
Second. The Mayors and Recorders OF all incorpo
rated cities.
Third The officers Of the Federal and State Gov
ernments, and Of the city of New Orleans
Fourth Notares Pnblic Inspectors of provision:
and merchandise in New Orleans, physicians, law
yers. and ministers Of the gospel.
Fifth. The cashiers and clerks OF all incorporated
banks.
Sirth. Persons over sixty years Of age.
Serenth. All school teachers, while acting in thai
capacity.

AVALUABLE ISvESTI0S.-The Kalamazoo (Mich.)
Gazette states that Mr. Il. R. Ball of that city, has
recently discovered mode Of applying lever power
which 4 destined to bring about entire revolution
in the process of raising large bodies by mechanical
means. The editor OF the Gazette saw a weight Of
GAO pounds raised by his machine by the strength Of
single cotton thread, and states that if the weight
had been ten times as heavy, the result would have
been the same. This discovery consists in such an
application of proper machinery to heavy bodies such
as locomotives, heavy castings, boats in doekyards
and the like, as to procure balance in the object
ITSELF then by rocking the body two and fro on GER
tain standards or studs connected with the machine
wedges inserted with each vibration so that as
the rocking goes on, the wedges constantly drawn
in and the body raised by its own motion. Mr. Balls
construction of machinery for this purpose is very in
genous, very simple, and at the same time entirely
ehcacious so that one man can raise locomotive
that gets thrown ofthe track with as much ease and
certainty as he could raise bucket of water with
windass. So heavy pieces of ore may be raised
canal boats, engines, and boilers, and in short, any
compact aud heavy body to which the machine could
be applied. The Gazette conelodes its article by say
iug a We think we may safely say, that Mr., Bah
has made discovery that will be Of incalculable
utility to the mechanical world"

THE COLORADO EXPLORING PARTY-We learn
from Washington that the War Department has
eeiyed dispatches from Lieut.. Ives, in command of
the expedition sent ont to explore the Colorado river
in California. The party arrived at the mouth Of the
river after long voyage from San Francisco.
The small steamer built at Philadelphia, and taken
out in detached pieces, had been put together and
launched. The boat answered admirably the purpose
intended. 4.l..
The present charts of the river had been found
defective, but sufficient material had been gathered
to correct them. The Colorado, from its mouth to
Fort YUMA was found very crooked and full OF sand
bars shoals aud snags but it was thought that above
the Fort fewer distractions to navigation would be

son, highly respectable citizen of Brooklyn died
on the previous day from injuries received at the
hands of three rowdies, who gave him fatal blow
with some deadly weapon. They were arrested, and
in the evening an impromptu meeting of citizens was
held, at which ExMayor Hall presided, when it was
resolved that no effort should be spared to bring the
assassins to punishment, and committee was ap-
pointed to carry out this view. Subsequently COM
mttee of vigilance to aid in protecting the lives and
property of peaceable citizens from violence was also
appointed. At one period there was decided dis
position manifested to lynch the prisoners but better
counsels prevailed and the idea was abandoned.
