THxi ENGLISH CAPITALISTS AT RrcHxosDs-
Several OF the English railway capitalists
could not resist the temptation OF a. trip
to Richmond and the famous lines u fortifi-
cations and battle fields around that first
and last stronghold OF the rebellion, We
have no doubs that these English, rail-
way kings have returned with . pretty
clenr understanding of the magnitude Of our
late war, OF the stupendOus forces and re-
sources employed on boxh sides, and Of the
skin and mastery strategy and tactics idevel-
oped by General Grant in the reduction Of the
rebellion. They have also acquired much valu-
able information oil the mos vital importance
to JcHI Davis Of those radiating railway lines,
and will have seen 6r themselves that with
the loss Of these railways his. costly andiexten-
sive lines OF Notifications amounted 10 nothing.
We presume. too, that these men OF capital
have discovered from this trip to Richmond
that In the Reconstruction OF the South, in
the matter OF railways and other things, there
IL field for the profitable investment Of mil
lions upon millisns Of money.

Of Jamaica unexpectedly. What 1t is about We
are not informed; but 1t is probably the work
of conspiracy of idle and mischiefplotting
blacks anxious to be in the fashion Of their
independent brethren of Hayti. We shall, at
all events, look for further news from Jamaica
with some interest, because the working OF
emancipation in that island, when It culmi-
mates in an insurrecton, becomes matter OF
some importance in the reconstruction Of our
Southern States.

LAW or FRKIGHr-We observe that 3. meet
ing Of the shipowuers Of this city was recently
held, inviting the attention of the Secretary OF
the Treasury to the hardship to which they
are subjected by tho Revenus law, whereby
the lien Of the shipowners for freight upon
goods imported into this port is rendered inef-
fectual and in many instances u practically
destroyed" This Is owing as they allege, to
the fact that goods are landed under general
orders, irrespective. Of any question Of freight.
The laws Of affreightance are at present under
very grave discussions in Belgium, France and
England, involving not only the lien of'freigbt,
but many other questions arising out Of and
Incidental to the subject is believed thai
a general international law IN relation to the
rights of freighters and sdipowners has become
indispensable, and PROFIT Of such law has
been originated in Belgium and submitted to
the British and French authorities. Our Fast
foreign arrivals inform us that it was undergoing
consideration at the meeting q the Social
Science Association, at Sheffield, where there
was large assemblage of representatives from
various European boards of trade and cham
UcIo Vi CUniHSiCc, ouu WIG Psyce VI A'Ss6 AuAAAr'
drawn up by Messrs.- Engel and Van Peborg,
was debated article by article. .N
The discussion had not been concluded, but
it was unanimously agreed on the general
principle that the cargo was liable for the
freight and not to be disputed How this
might be justly affected by accident and justi-
fable variations on the voyage had not yet
been fully determined. We have not space at
this time TO enlarge on this prolific theme, but
it strikes ms that the New York shipowners
have the remedy for the grievance Of which
they complain in their own hands, without ap-
pealing to the Secretary or Congress-; and in
this we are sustained by competent English
writer's on this subject. The remedy is very
simple one: it is to demand freight in advance
or on arrival in port, by memorandum to that
effect on signing the bills Of lading,, in'which
case the shipowners might in default Of pay
ment become the mortgages rightfully in
possession Of the goods, enter them on their
own account, and thus fully protect them
selves We shall probably, however, at the
next meeting Of Congress have the whole
question legitmately before it, and all the
intricate questions may be then dealt with and
settled in a lump, in correspondence with the
proposed changes abroad.

A REALLY NATIONAL THANKsGrvNG.-The
President of the United States has designsted
Thursday, the 7th of December, as day of ma
tional thanksgiving, when the people are to
render thanks for many blessings, but particu-
larly for this: that IL has pleased Almighty
God, during the year which is now coming to
an end, to relieve our beloved country from
the fearful scourge of civil war, and to permit
us TO secure the blessings Of peace, unity and
harmony, with great enlargement Of civil
liberty" The choice Of the day and of the
terms in which the proclamation is worded has
its significance. and shows the original bent OF
President Johnson's mind. People may won
der why II Is that the anniversary is changed
from the last week In November to the first
week in December The reason is obvious to
us, and VIII be recognized as cogent and
proper by all. II is simply this !: Congress
meets on the first Monday in December, just
three days before Thanksgiving. Our practical
minded President is determined that then, for
the first time In four years, the representa-
tives Of every State IN the Union shall have
seats in the great council chamber of
the nation; and he realizes that 1t is
only when that is accomplished, when
the States are rehabilitated, when North
and South meet together again in amity, that
real true national thanksgiving can be OBJ
served. IF there be any obstacle sought to be
interposed to the organization Of Congress by
fanatics who are resolved to cIothe the negro
with all political rights, Mr.. Johnson will be
justified in having such obstacles brushed aside,
in order that the people OF the United States
may enjoy their national thanksgiving. 1t is
capital idea, worthy Of the head that gave birth
to it.
In it's terms, too, the proclamation Is note
worthy. The President does not speak of the
attainment of the most comprehensive civil
liberties, but he does speak of the attainment
Of "a great enlargement of civil liberty" The
former would have embraced the dogma Of
negro suffrage, and President johnson has not
yet given in his adhesion to it. But he recog-
nizes that in the abolition Of negro slavery the
country has largely advanced in the way of
civil liberty. rs. *.
Taking these views Of the selection Of Thanks
giving Day, and Of the terms used in the procla-
nation, we think that they will meet the hearty
approval Of all good citizens, and that the peo-
pie, North and South, will hail it as the begin
ming Of an era of good fellowship and unwaver-.
ngloyalty

Dun LOCAL WANTs.-We have been for Q
long time very far behind many Of the capitals
of Europe in certain local conveniences which
are almost indispensable to- the comforts Of
large community. But we are glad to observe
that there have been some Improvements made
of late. First among them. was the establish
ment of the letter boxes on the street corners
for the facility Of city delivery of letters. Peo-
pie may now perceive in the streets number
Of men wearing scarlet caps with. the words
+" New York City Messenger Company" on tho
front. These are the employees Of a company
established for very useful purpose, and their
duty ia to go. Of errands, deliver packages,
sweep side walks, put in coal and do other
things necessary for the convenience'of the citi-
zens. The company pledge themselves as rc-
sponsible for the honesty Of their messengers:
If this Institution is properly managed It will
prove an addition to our social comforts., Now
we want two or three other improvements
for instance, better system. in the omnibus
lines by the addition Of q conductor on the
London plan stationed in the rear Of the. con-
veyance to collect the fares and otherwise
minister TO the convenience'of the passengers
We also need cabs to do'away with the expen-
sive.nuisance Of hacks !; and complete refor-
nation in our tcrryboat lines, with view 70
the preservation Of life, would not be- amiss.
When,we have obtained all these, improve
mcnts, to say nothing Of . little more honesty
in THE city government, we will be on . par
with other large capitals in tho. Old World,
and life in New York will be much more en-
joyaa,le. 's9

The ISSUE IN THE COMING EIECri0S.-Both
Slocum and Barlow are gallant generals; both
have unblemished characters both stand upon
the same platform both cordially support
President johnson. The only issue Of the State
election, therefore, Is whether or not Comp
trollcr Robinson offered his hand to Thurlow
Weed. Robinson says that he did not. Weed
says that he did and the only way to decide
the matter IL to take the opinion Of the people
at the polls a. 10 which story Ia really true.

ANOTHER FEARFUL CATAsTROPHE.-Weha have to
record in our news columns to-day another
awful steamboat disaster within the precints OF
the city. The magnificent Albany steamer st.
John, on her arrival here yesterday morning
from the State capital, was the scene Of most
terrible calamity, by which nine lives were
instantly sacrificed and fifteen persons horribly
wounded. As the steamer was nearing her
dock in the North river, opposite HobOken, the
boiler exploded, blowing away several Of the
staterooms and either killing or scalding all
the inmates. From the statements which have
reached us this accident was evidently the re-
suit Of gross carelessness, the engineer, or his
assistant, as it is asserted by passenger having
been discovered asleep previous to and at the
time of the explosion. We trust that the inves-
tigation will be conducted with view to as
certain If this be 30, and to put the response
bility upon the guilty parties. It will be
remembered that the Grand Jury recently
indicted for manslaughter the owners of the
steamboat Arrow. There is now another case
in which the authorities can exercise them
selves with great prolific the community, and
we hope they win not be deferred from,doing
so. M5ea

the President cannot recognize the people of
any State Oateiy in rebellion) as having re-
sumed the relations OF loyalty to the Union
that admits % legal obligations debts created
in its name to promote the war Of the rebel
lion" This will doubtless be sufficient, not
only for the. recognizing State Convention Of
Georgia, now in session, but for the proper
understanding of the subject by Governor
Perry, Of South Carolina, and his Legislature,
and by the, responsible authorities Of every
other State concerned. The reputation Of its
rebel debts il condition precedent which
must be met BY every State Of the late So
called Southern confederacy before its recon-
structed government can be recognized by Pre-
sident johnson, to say nothing Of Congress.
Another fndisputable consideration must be
met by every State concerned before II can ex-
pect to be recommended by the President to
Congress-and that condition Is the ratification
by the State Legislature Of the amendment Of
the federal constitution abolishing and prohib-
iting slavery within the limits and jurisdiction
Of tbs United States. The new loyal Legisla-
lures Of Mississippi and South Carolina are
now In session. Neither Of them has yet
moved In the matter Of this ratification but II
is to be hoped that they will each very soon
perform this needful and important work. We
want only four more States TO make this
constitutional amendment a part of the
supreme law Of the land. With the two
Southern States above named enrolled In the
ratification, we shall only lack two to com-
plete the work, and North Carolina and
Georgia will OH the requisition. To the States
in the list required 10 make just three-fcurths
Of all the States will belong the honor Of this
amendment. All the rest that may be obtained
will be superHuous II. therefore. Mississippi,
North and South Carolina and Georgia present
themselves a. the first States from the rebellion
to ratify this amendment they viii be the FIRST
to walk into Congress, provided, always, thai
they shall not have forgotten the reputation
Of their rebel debts. North Carolina has led
OF in this repudistion, clean and absolute.
Now let her, when her Legislature meets, lead
of in this aforesaid ratification, and her appli-
cation for readnission into Congress cannot
be resisted.
