ACCIDENTS On STEAMBOATS, AND RAILROADS.
1t may be interesting to the curious to know
which mode for the conveyance of passengers,
railroads or steamboats,, causes the greater
number of deaths by accidents. From the
records kept in this office we compile the fol-
lowing comparative table, showing the number
of accidents, together with the number of
killed and wounded, on steamboats, navigating
our inland waters, and the railroads Of this
country, for the past seven years.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-12-31

1t will be seen that while the number Of ac-
STEAMBOATS, by over four to one, and the num-
Der Of wounded by railroad accidents outnum.
Der those by catastrophes on board of steam
boats by nearly four to one, the loss of life has
been double by accidents on the water Of that
of the land conveyance. This may be entirely
attributable to the additional risk of drowning
which attends steamboat accidents.

CRIME IN THE METRoPoLIs.-In our chrome
logical record of events for 1859, published this
morning, we give very interesting account OF
in the metropolis during that period. We re-
greet to say that there has been fearful in.
crease Of crimes of this nature for the present
year, amounting to fifty per cent over the re-.
turns Of murder and homicide last year. The
following list shows the aggregates for the two

The PRESIDENT AND THE MoRMONs.-A little
paragraph in the HERALD has attracted the at
tention of our contemporaries to the fact that the
President in his message passes over he Nor
mons in silent contempt. But accompanying
his message was the interesting report Of the
Secretary of War; and as silence gives consent,
we are free to conclude that the Secretary's re-
port was intended by the President to repre-
sent his own views upon the subject. There
can be no doubt upon this point for the Presi-
dent in his message says
transmit herewith the reports Of the Secretaries Of
War; OF the Navy OF the Interior and OF the Postmaster
General They each contain valuable Information and i'm
portant recommendations well worthy Of the serious con-
sideration OF Congress.
Thus the President accepts and endorses the
recommendations of these several Secretaries
as his own including the views and recommen-
dations of Secretary Floyd concerning the Nor
mons. Thus the Secresry's recommendation
for the proclamation df martial law over the
Territory Of Utah, 'for the protection of lie
and property" becomes a recommend on
from the President himself, and one of the most
important Of the message. The horrible crimes
Of Mormondom recited by Secretary Floyd, and
the utter impotency OF all devices Of the civil
authorities to reach the offending Mormons, de-
nand this experiment of martial law. Autho-
rity to the President to try the experiment
should be one of the first acts of Congress.

THE CHEvALER WEBB on THE PRESIDENTS
MEssAGE.-The Chevalier Webb, in reference
to the bred Scott decision of the Supreme
Court on the slavery question, says that the
President in his message on the subject sis
wanting In TRUTH" and that che knew, when he
penned the ..~~s- from li,s message,
that he was writing what was not true: and he
boldly ventured upon its publication for the
vilest personal and most selfish Of party pur-
poses" The reader will thus perceive that the
Chevalier Webb is perfect pattern Of modesty
and decency-of modesty, in assuming to
know what the President knew; and Of decency,
| in charging the President with premeditated
| Justification, and for the "vilest" purposes.
What is it that has thus given the Chevalier
Webb authority to sit in judgment and to de-
nounce the acts and motives of Mr.. Buchanan?
From the ffty-two thousand dollar affair of
the United States Bank down to his application
to Lawrence, Stone & Co. for the lobby allow
ance of furnished house rent free, and well
supplied with provisions and liquors, free
gratis for nothing, on the free wool question,
we are not aware of anything in the public
antecedents Of the Chevalier Webb authorizing
him to pronounce his verdict against the truth,
honor, or honesty Of the President of the
United States. The intelligent reader, on the
other hand, will be very apt to conclude that
the reckless malice of the Chevaler Webb can
only be equalled by his unblushing impudence.

the part OF the Senate, beg leave to report
that they have been unable to agree.
The COMMITTEE on the part Of the House
Of representatives, acting IN a proper spirit
Of conc Ilation, and in vie" Of the Immediate
necessity OF passing the Bill for the Appor~
tlonmeut ofthe Repre- resentatves and Senators
through hout the State, and duly apprec Iatns
their constitutional obligations, were willing
to ma g any concessions short of violation
of that Constitution which we are all solem-
Iy bound to support.
They regret to say that this disposition was
not met by any corresponding feeling on the
part Of the Committee appointed by the Sem
ate and whilst the Committee on the part
of this House were wiling to make any con-
cession short Of an actual violation Of the
Constitution, no definite proposition Tor ad

As further evidence Of this conr'Iatory
disposition, the COMMITTEE on the part Of the
