The RECENT Railroad MURDER The evi-
dence given before the Corouer's Jury in the
case of the Northern Railroad disaster deyet
ops some importantly facts regarding the con
dition of the Tohhannoc Bridge. James
Cooley, the carpenter employed by Tie
Railroad Companyto superiatend the work
on the bridges Of ne road, ~testiies Shat the
accident was caused by the r0tteimess Of the
bridge; that he had several times reported il
as unsafe; that he 50 reported 10 the oom-
pany as far back as the first Of May last; ana
that the cords Of fidge, were tea actually
d~ecayed, rested upon knees, and not upon the
stone-work. The Cororner's Jury in The case
of Charles ~Plympton, one Of the victims, rem
dered the verdict that " the accident wa.
caused BY the GAaess of the bridge, and
that those having charge of the bridge should
be greatly censuredn Another verdict was

"Tha ~Strairhts.n

This body mustered in force at Garden on
Thursday Of last week. It was given out
that the call had leen signed by more than
5000 persons; but if 81 they failed to appear;
as at no time was there over $50 persons pres
ent. Senator IA Roberts. Of Camden,
called the meeting to order. Thos. u. Tilden
OF Hudson, was chosen President, A lot OF
Vice Presidents and a Standing Committee
OF seven was appointed, aud it was decided to
reorganize for the campaign on STRAIT Ameri-
can principles. The spirit of the meeting
seems to have found expression in Tommy
FFilden, who declared that if the Republicans
should win, THEY MUST BEAR IT; but if the De
mocracy, the, must say then WE'LL DoNEi-
Com Stockton was present, and made a
speech, and censured the General Government
for vast incredse in the public expenditures,
and finding fault with both the great political
parties opposed to him. After passing a Sc
ries of resolutions, the meeting adjourned.
A bit of history may be told here to advan-
tage. After these 'Straights' tried to defeat
Nixon, the Peoples candidate, last fall, they
and their organ, the Camden Journal, tried TO
crawl into the regastr Opposition ranks, and
so continued until the period arrived, when
they supposed ~they,sipuld create a little more
trouble. Hence Tie late move. which has
been so clearly got up by the Democratic
w~iFe-pnllers in Isszak as thar he Sun shines.
Fortunately tao reSs7eE 81 Lowe Jersey begin
to see how these etamps are attempting to
dupe them another time. The meeting Of
Thursday has put such a wet blanket upon
the whole movement that it may go on just
as soon as it likes.

wish to say, also, that while native writers will
receive the most solid encouragement aud will
be mainly relied ON t. fill the pages of the AT
LANTIc, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at their command, as occasion
may require, relying rather on the competency
of an author to treat particular subject, than
on any other claim whatever. In this way they
hope to make their periodical welcome WHEREBY
er the English language is spoken or read.
SECOND: In the term ART, it is intended t.
include the whole domain of aesthetics, and they
hope gradually to make this critical department
true and fearless representative of Art, in al
its various branches, without any regard tt
prejudice, whether personal or national, or te
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ of noparty or clique, but will honestly en-
deavor to be the exponent of what its conduc

deal frankly with persons and with parties, en-
deavoring always to keep in view that mora
element which transcends all persons and par
