DEATH OF EDWARD EVERETT


Edward Everett died Of apoplexy at
his residence, in Boston, On Sunday
morning. A telegram from there says:
His age was seventy years and about
ten months. Mr.. Everett addressed his
citizens at Faneuil Hall, on Mon
day last, in aid of sending provisions to
Savannah, and, during the afternoon of
that day, was present in court, in refer
ence to claim for damages against the
city of Charlestown for overtlowing a
portion of his estate in Medford by con-
structing dam on Mystic river: On
Tuesday he became effected with severe
cold, but neither his friends nor himself
deemed it serious Saturday evening he
appeared about as we'll as usual, and re-
tired to bed, declining to trouble any one
to remain with him. About 5 o'clock this
morning his house-keeper entered his
room and found him sleeping naturally.
An hour later she was alarmed by hear
ing heavy fall in his room, and found
him lying on the floor, breathing heavily.
A physician was promptly summoned,
but before his arrival Mr.. Everett died.
The event was announced in nearly
all the churches a. the commencement
of morning service, and created a pro-
found feeling Of sadness. Shortly after
noon the church bells of the city and
suburbs were tolled. Mr.. Everett's flu
neral will take place at noon on Thurs
day next, in the First Church, Rev. Ru-
fus Ellis pastor. 1t is presumed the
State and city authorities will take part
in the obsequies Of this great and good
citizen.
The following is the official announce
ment Of his death by the Washington
Government:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, !
WASHINGTON, Sunday, January 10.
The President directs the undersigned
to perform the painful duty of announ-
cling to the people Of the United States
that Edward Everett, distinguished not
more by learning and eloquence than by
unsurpassed and disinterested labors Of
patriotism, at a period of political dis
order, departed this life at o'clock this
morning. The several Executive De-
partments of the Government will cause
appropriate honors to be rendered to the
memory of the deceased, at home and
abroad, wherever the national name and
authority are recognized.

2. The case of Smedley, an English
man. lie came across the Potomac from
Richmond in October, went to England
under fictitious name, and returned to
this city in December under another fic.

ton Of going to the South. He was ar
rested three days after his arrival, tried.
and sentenced to six months imprison-
ment in Fort Lafayette, and at the end
of that time to be sent across the lines.
The sentence was modified by General
Dix so far as respects sending him
South. He is now at Fort Lafayette, and
we suppose will, at proper time, be sent
back to England, and not into the rebel
States, where he wants to 90.

TINS rai.roads are getting to be little bet-

THR railroads are getting to be little bet-
ter than so many dead falls. We have of
late recorded frequent accidents on tho
Central Ohio, Cleveland and Pittsburgh
and Baltimore and Ohio. Our dispatches
yesterday mentioned bad accident on the
Pennsylvania Central, three miles this side
of Cresson, near Lilly Station. The Pitts
burgh papers give US some particulars
which make a very bad showing for the
railroad company. One account says "the
ties were rotten as punk )" three passenger
cars were thrown down an embankmsnt
sixty feet perpendicuIarly; two persons were
killed and twenty three were seriously
injured; the railroad employees treated the
passengers after the accident in the most
uufeeling manner, and but for the people in
the vicinity the sufferings of the unfortu-
nate would have been much greater.
The trouble in most of these accidents il
that the road beds have been suffered to &c
into dilapidation, and very little expense OF
pains is taken to guard against unsound
rails and rotton cross ties. The managers
have too often selfish schemes to promote
which cause them to risk everything fol
the sake of dividends and the initiation Of
their stock. Many of them are spectators
in their own stock and connecting roads,
There ought to be more stringent laws il
every State increasing the liabilities of com
pauies whenever accidents result from
clearly ascertained defect in the rails, cros
ties or machinery of the road. Make then
disgorge in exemplary damages to thei
victims and they will be more ready to dis
gorge TO guard against the present frequen
and, in many cases, wholesale destruction
of life.
