TEE BERGEN TUNNEL DIsAsTER.-Judge Og-
den OF the Hudson County Court, has made the
recent disaster in the Bergen tunnel o subject
Of his charge to the Grand Jury Of that county.
Bus we observe that while he dwells at length
on generalites he does not recommend the in
dictment of any one connected with this terri
BILE accident, by which young lad, resident
OF this city, was killed, and some twenty or
more people injured. Homiles from the bench
can do no good unless followed by the indict-
ment, conviction and punishment of the parties
upon whom the blame rests. 1t Is true that the
Coroner's jury did not fasten the guilt in this
instance upon any particular person, but con-
tented themselves with mild rebuke to one Of
the railroad companies. Is there not prose-
cutting attorney in Hudson county to present an
indictment to the Grand Jurys Some one is
evidently to blame for the careless manner In
which the running of two companies cara
through this tunnel is conducted Judge Ogden
suggests that line of watchmen should be sta
toned in the tunnel to see that the tracks are
clear, or telegraph line run through; and II,
he says, after proper rules are adopted to in
sure safety, an employee should, by neglect Of
the same cause the death Of human being,
then will be the time to indict him for homi-
eide 1t appears to us that some rules must
have been violated by somebody in the late
disaster and If these rules were not efficient to
save human life an example ought to be made
of the party or parties who neglected to pro-
vide them.

people there and back are being advertised, I
whilst at Havre, andseveral other ports, steam
ers are to do the duty which the locomotive
does on land. Never, in a word, since Cher
bourg has existed, has there been SO many peo-
pie in its walls as will be collected there next
week. Truth to speak, never was there such a
grand, and in political point Of view, mo-
mentous Ceremony as next week win witness.
How the crowds that will be collected are to
be lodged, and fed, and washed, is a grave ques-
ton; but on those important points intending
visitors trust to the municipality, to railway
and steamboat companies, to spectators, and
to fortune. The English feet will stay some
days-at least SO itappears from the advertise
ments of the pleasure steamers at Hayre,
which are to leave on Sunday, the 18th, and to
return on Friday, the 18th, excursionists being

commission then took recess uutil ppm.
MIR. A. w. Barrows testified to having been
sentlas prisoner to Andersonville. He was
detailed as a surgeon in the prison, but after
being there about six months escaped. He
gave an interesting account Of how the Union
prisoners who had attempted to escape were
punished with stocks or the chain gang. He
testified to the insufficiency and unwholesome
character of the rations and the absence Of
medical supplies, and gave sickening account
of the cruelty to the prisoners. Blood-hounds
were actually employed to capture the escaped
prisoners. Among other things he said the
men were vaccinated with impure matter.
