1t has been shown that the Philadelphia train
had no signal light hung out at two O'Clock In
the morning. in consequence of which the
Washington train rushed into it, smashing up
both cars and passengers. Their moderate
censure Of the switchtender is not less absurd
than their whitewashing the employees. It Is
evident that if such verdcts as this are the only
safeguard people have in railroad travelling,
the State and national legislatures must lose no
time in enacting some laws for public safety.

SECRETARY McCULLoCH's SPEEcH.-It il GUS
tomary when a new Cabinet official enters upon
his Office for the subordinates of the depart
ment TO wait upon him and tender their re-
spects and congratulations. Such has been
done upon the elevation of Mr.. Hugh .McCul-
loch TO the Office of Secretary of the Treasury,
aud that gentleman took the opportunity Of
making speech which we regard as the best
and most pertinent that has been made by any
head of that department for many years.
Among other sensible things Mr. McCulloch
said:-
NV chief aim WILL OF course, be provide means to
discharge the claims upon the Treasury ut the earliest
day practicable and TO institute 10 bring the
business of the country gradually back the specie
basis departure from which, although for the time be-
ing necessity is no less damaging and demoralizng TO
the people than expensive TO the government"
This is the key TO the whole philosophy of
the Treasury Department, which Mr.. McCul-
loch appears to thoroughly understand, and If
he only keeps these sentiments constantly be-
fore him, 1t is quite probable that, with the i'm
mense resources Of the country, we shall soon
be free from all financial embarrassments.
The SAVANNAH CorToN Como TO ENGLAND

decided to send the cotton, about thirty-hve
thousand bales, which was captured at Sa-
vannah, to the British market We recon-
mended the adoption Of such course imme-
diately upon the receipt Of the news Of the
taking Of that city, and we are glad to see that
the new Secretary has taken advantage Of the
suggestion, and thus early giving evidence that
he possesses that practical ability which is so
essential 10 the duties Of bic position. and Of

NEW YORK, Dec. l2.-The Times cor
respondent Malakoff, dating from Paris
the Oath ult., sends disquisition by
Lamartine on the political affairs of this
continent, published in the monthly pc
riodical Les Entretlens Lebrerares He
boldly defends Emperor Maximilian's
policy, and says it is a sublime concep-
tion, vast as the ocean and new as all
that is approposi conception OF states
man. conception of safety fol America
and the world. The idea of bold and
effcacious position to be taken IN Mexi-
co against the usurpation OF the United
States is new but just idea Europe
has the right to take this position
France takes the initiative. He then
starts from the position that the new con
tinent of America is the property of Eu-
rope to prove that France has right to
assume this policy, and having shown
this to his satisfaction, he draws figure
of Americans as a community and as in
dividuals which cannot be regarded as
very flattering to us The Paris journal
Des Debats contains a severe criticism
on Lamartines letter.
The Herald's Dublin correspondent
dated November 20th, says; 1t seems as

exceed the Society of United Irishmen
If it were not for the exertions of con-
servative men of every shade and creed

Ireland would now be submerged III the

that orders on military affairs will not be
