TIKI LATEST RAILWAY MURDER.

The evidence given before the COroners jury
at Bridgeport yesterday corroberates the first
opinion entertained that the terrible accident
on the Housatonic Railway was the result OF
the grossest carelessness. Neither the Con-
ductor of the passenger train nor the President,
who was on board, seem to have had any idea
of the approach of the locomotive on trial
trip. No signal was sent before the engine by
the Master Mechanic, although it was his duty
to have done so, or by any other person con-
nected with the road.
Among the constantly procuring accidents OF
this kind, caused by neglect or carelessness, we
do not remember during the year single
one that appears to have been more thoroughly
cupable than this. 1t is little less than dellbe'
rate nsrylcr, and it is high time that some one
was made an example of. We are waiting
patiently for railway catastrophe in when
some one is to blame. Hundreds of passengers
are slaughtered annually, and those who should
be held to a strict account and severely pun
ished are not only acquitted, but declared COM
pletely innocent.
The recklessness of human life in America is
proverbial and foreigners have most wholesome
apprehension of travelling in this country. No
wonder. No man is safe here who leaves his
home for the brefest journey, and If he does
not make his will and arrange his worldly affairs,
it is because he shares in the national indifier-
ence to his own or any other persons death.
Railway slaughters appear to be increasing
every year; and especially of late have they
been going from bad to worse. Would we
could believe the worst had been reached,
When shall We have an end of these murders,
for which no one is to blame! Never until
railway officials and attaches ore made TO an
swer, like other criminals, before impartial
courts of justice. A term of years in the Peni-
Tertiary for the guilty would, we are sure
prove a most wholesome, and is indeed the
ONLY corrective.

selves elsewhere. But. until they do change
their laws, we must stand up for the rights
which those laws vouchsafe; : and one OF these Is
plainly struck at in the lecture read to Dayen'
port by Button.
We insist that this subject be regarded broadly
and that our people be taught to respect each
others legal rights. Here, for example, is
veteran of eighty odd, who PUSHES headlong
into matrmony:with miss of fifteen. Two
FOOLS" you observe; or perhaps an old fool and
an artful, INSCRIPTIONS young huzzy, who con-
siders that her adorer is rich, and won't probably
live great while. You have perfect right to
your opinion in the premises, and to its season.
able, temperate expression; but, if you see mt
to Join gang of rowdies, who undertake to
make night hideous and slumber impossible for
the welded pair, We hope you III get something
out of shotgun that will quicken your per-
ceptions of right and decency. And ii you
happen to get served as Chard was by the
Davenports-(though we hope your luck VIII
be trine better than his)-and ice get on the
Coroners jury, there is prospect OF some talk
to rowdieS in quite another vein from Button s.

THE CENSUS OF OUR CITY.

Every tenth year, midway between each two
taken by the Federal Government, our State
takes an Official Census or enumeration OF heI
inhabitants. This is now being done, under the
direction and supervision Of the Hon. Z. M
Depew, Secretary of State.
Before the work is completed, we have beer
enabled by the Secretary to print large pro
portion of the returns, showing that our CITY
has no such population as has been computed
that the aggregate is more likely to fall below
than to exceed the Eight Hundred Thousand
which was officially returned by the L. >
Marshal as her population in 1860. Hereupon
The World, The Commercial, Supervisor Ely,
&C.. set up a concerted howl Of "Fraud,
"Swindle," &C., &C.. virtually accusing the
Secretary of conspiring, in fragrant violation OF
his oath and duty, to return the population OF
our CITY One or Two Hundred Thousand less
than it actually is
Mr.. Depew is the guardian of his own good
name, and will vindcate it as to him shall seem
fit. But the imputaton upon him, gross and
fragrant as it is, is refuted by simple fact:
lie has chosen to call attention to the matter uhle
correction is still easy. Had he been engaged in
any fraud, he would have kept silence and with
held his returns until correction was impossible.
But, not content with sending back sundry dis
trct returns for revision, where the population
reported seemed too little, he has given to the
public the results attained, by Wards and
smaller districts, so as to render easy the de-
detection Of any error. Here, for in
stance, are the Ist, lid, IXth and
XVIth Wards returned complete, show
ing smaller aggregate population than
Marshal Rynders returned therefrom in 1860.
These are Wards easily recanyassed-one or all
of them-so as to show any deficiency in the
official returns. The Xth, XIth and XIIIth
Wards-each also showing fewer inhabitants
than Rynders returned from it-are all but COM
