RAILROADS AND THE PREss.-A few years
since, the great Mr. Moran was elected Presi
dent of the New York and Erie Railroad. Mr..
Moran was paid the enormous salary of $25, 900
per annum, and of course Mr. Moran felt bound
to do great things for the road. His first step
was to withhold free passes from all editors
and reporters Consequently editors and re
porters have ceased to talk about the road, and

or6 year, since Mr.. Moran innugurated his

Marshal Potter, of Leo, Mass, confessed to
the murder of his mother, two brothers and
nephew, before the coroner'C jury. The inoo-
herent confession is too long for our columns,
but the substance of it is that having come
home late as was frequently tho case, one of
his brothers remarked that he should leave the
house if he persevered in keeping such late
hours. He then went for q maui, with which
he successfully murdered the whole family. He
next set fire to the house and departed, taking
with him what money he had.

THE LITTLE GIANT.-The New York Sun
says: "Judging by present popular feeling in
the Northern States, there is but one man that
the Democracy can certainly and triumphantly
elect, and that is Douglas, Of Illinois. The
politicians may. make as many arrangements
and combinations as they please, but the peo-
pie are thoroughly for Douglas now, as they
were for old Rough and Ready in 1sls"

The lsTHMIAN CANAL.-We are advised
by intelligence from the east that the organ
ization of party for the exploration of
ship canal route across the lsthmus Of Da-
rien, Is about to commence. This party is
to be composed chiefly Of officers and men
to be detached from the Gulf Squadron.
The object of this expedition is to test the
accuracy of the statements made by the
English explorers, Osborne and Cullen, and
Of Surgeon Caldwell of the U. S. Navy in
regard to the existence of depression or
gap in the cordilleras, through which the
cutting of a ship canal would be compara-
lively easy. In a similar expedition under
Lieut.. Strain, several years ago, the lives Of
the whole party were nearly lost in the al
most impenetraUle jungles of that tropical
region, owing, as Was alleged, to their fail
ing 10 follow the advice of explorists who
had preceded them. That the project Of
constructing such communication between
the TWO oceans is a practicable one in our
Judgment their exists but lit doubt. 1t
will be, however, we fear, a work of time,
even if its practicability be established by
successful surveys f. N0oaai

THE DUEL.-On Monday morning last at
o'clock, Supreme Judge David S. Terry
and U. S. Senator d. G. Broderick fought a
duel near the Lake Housa, in San Mateo
county. The Senator lost his shot in the
ground, and received his opponents imme-
diateiy thereafter in his right breast. The
wound was at first considered mortal, and
false report of Mr.. Broderick's death was
in fact telegraphed all over the State, caus-
ing an intense excitement and profound
sympathy. Later reports represent his con-
dition as hopeful.
Whatever may be the public sentiment as
to duels in general, the opinion is almost
universally expressed that this duel was un-
necessary, and especially so on the part of
Terry, after Broderick had offered, as is al
legged, to retract the offensive words used in
presence of Perley, and which led to the
duel, if Terry would withdraw those he had
uttered with reference to Broderick in the
Democratic State Convention. The opinion
is also general that this duel, between a
high expounder of the law and a federal law
maker, is particularly lamentable and dis
credtable. No doubt each party to it would
have stood higher in public esteem had it
never been fought.

state that they have sorry time of it-be-
ing often pinched for food and clothing,
while the younger men, by laboring on the
ranches, can supply themselves and wives
with all that is necessary. Our information
states that while even the old chiefs have
scarcely SO much as a dirty shirt to hide
their nakedness, many of the young men are
well dressed after the American fashion, and
their women furnished with gay dresses and
even hoops.

Those curious antiquarian diggings at
Chiriqui still attract attention and yield
golden relics Of a dead past. A correspon-
dent Of the -4tta says of them:
"As yet no images have been found re-
sembling domestic animals, which fact leads
to the supposition that they were buried
before the Conquest, some 800 years since,
and while the people were perfectly savage,
and before any introduction Of animals by
the Spaniards.
Some very curious articles of pottery have
been taken out. The gold images, rs well
as the pottery correspond with those found
in Mexico long ago.
They vary in value from SO to $l20.

We publish, in another column, an important
Memorial, setting forth the disabilities under which
the coal trade of this city abors in consequence of
the policy adopted by the Management of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railway Company. This Memo
rial, which has been signed by large number OF
our principal merchants, will be laid before the
Board of Directors at their monthly meeting to-
day. 1t will be seen, from the facts therein stated
that the high rates of freight charged by the Com
pany upon the coal transported to this city has al
ready produced serious effect upon the commerce
of this port; and that branch of trade which
with proper fostering, would exercise singulary
beneficial influence, not upon the interests of the
coal dealers only but upon all classes of merchants
and shippers, is now being diverted into other
channels, and to the manifest advantage of other
cities by means so favorably situated as oul
