PROVIDENCE AND WORCESTER RAILROAD.
A good deal of surprise was created by the
advertisement which appeared yesterday, to
the effect that the Directors of the Providence
& Worcester Railroad Company had revoked
all the power heretofore conferred on the pres
ident of the corporation. The reasons of this
vote have not transpired officially, but it is
understood that there has been difference of
opinion between the president and the direct
ors, IN regard to the dividends and repairs, the
president being in favor of making larger
dividends, and the directors in favor of APP
plying larger portions of the earnings to the
repairs of bridges and maintenance of the
road. Other differences in regard to the man
agement of the road arose, and the directors
passed vote, requesting the president to re-
sign. This he declined to do, and then the
directors passed the vote that has been pub
lished. Such is all the explanation that we
have heard, although it does not reach us
from official sources, and may not be correct.

One of the most serious difficulties in the
Mormon affair is the misunderstanding that
mas arisen between Gov. Cumming and Col.
Johnston. All intercourse between them has
been suspended. This is the uniform result
OF contact between civil and military au-
thorities, unless that subordination of the
latter, which is required by the constitution,
is strictly enforced in the beginning. Militia
~ men are FESTIVE under the restraints of
civil power. There have been scores of in
stances III our government, where the object
OF expeditions has been defeated by the dis
putes about etiquette. in which military men
delight and by tnat contempt for civil author
ity which is so deeply rooted in them. We
do not know what the quarrel is between
Gov. Cumming and Col. Johnston, and can
have no idea where the blame rests, but that
a quarrel would take place between them
was quite certain TO all who remembered the
previous examples of mixed authority, civil
and military, at a distance from the central
pewer. The only way to prevent this con-
tiict is to place the military officer under the
entire and unquestroned orders of the civil
magistrate. That is where he belongs The
object of the military is to give effect to the
civil power, not to supersede it, or to control
1t, or TO direct it.-ProU Journal.
