NEW YonK, December 2.-Thcre are somo things
that, when done on small scale, bring down upon
the perpetrators the Indignation and censure of q
community, whilst the man who does the same
thing grand scale is respected and courtod by
oil. The Individual who lends you ten dollars,
and receives your watch in pawn security, is
pawnbroker whom evory body dcspses, and at
whom the public nose is ever elevated in con-
tempt; but the millionaire who advances you ten
thousand, charging an exorbitant interest and
taking as security mortgage your house, is
respected as o capitalist, moneyod man, q mer-
chant prince. If an individual cuts friends
throat in the dark he is murderer and is sentenc-
ed to dance in tho Dir with rope around his neck;
but if railroad company, through the careless
ness OF one or more of it's employees allows two
trains Of cars to run into each other, smashing up
things in general and killing great many passon-
gers in particular, the law turns q lenent eye to-
wards the wholesale murder, and twelve stupid
men decide TINT nobody is to blame. Ono of those
respectable cases of wholesale homicide has just
been enacted on The New Jersey railroad. An OK
press train and coal train collided, smashing up
some of the cars, upsetting others, and, worse
than all, killing seven persons and manning sew
enteen.' 1t was, OF course, nobody's fault.

quarters may be 80 designated, for the business
| conducted there looks very much like that Of On
organized government, or ut least, an established
political association There is treal,ury depart
ment war department, an executive or civil de-
partment, yydepartment, guard-room and
armory, &C. The building is in Seventeenth street,
and is one of the most magnificent private resi-
donces in this city. The bubble is very large and
with the sun Of hopo shining upon it, is very beauti
full, but fear that puff of adversity will
to becloud the and burst the beautiful bubble.
The wire pullers and betting men enjoying
themselves to their hearts content. Last night

The Herald is out with an article to-day assert
ing that in November, 1865, notwithstanding the

in the sensation line, has just produced divorce
case. Mr.. PAoKEn's wife sues for divorce ON the
ground that PACKER has broken an important

grounds. II both Of them have such an opinion
of each other, and both want divorce, can't
imagine why they do not settle the thing without
any suits Az all There are also couple OF young
PACKERS, however, and this may account for it.
