MoRn RAILROAD AoCDEsrs.-Just on me eve
Of the Fourth Of July, when the trains arc sure
to be crowded with excursionists, We sre
treated to two more terrible railroad accidental
One occurred upon the Harlem and the oshes
upon the Hudson River line, both OF which arc
now under ono management On the Harems
two trains, rushing at high rate Of speed Oven
trestlswork bridge seventy-ave feet high
bumped against each other and stove in ths
sides Of the cars and the passengers. On hs
Hudson River line switohman was expeots4
to do the work of Q depot master, baggage
checker, porter and switch tender, and very
naturally neglected the duties Of the last pod'
ton, the consequences being train Oh ths
track and several lives and limbs lost There
are no words strong enough to adequately ex
press the general indignation at the frequency
Of these accidents They are totally withouA
excuse. That ON The Harlem could have been
avoided by slowing the trains, and that on the
Hudson River by the employment Of one extra
man at dollar day. We call upon the
Grand Jury to indict the president and direction
of these companies for manslaughter.

ties. Five-twenties had gone up to seventy and
three-quarters, an Improvement of one-quartef
since our last advices and twelve and three
quarters since the surrender Of Lee. Thus our
reconstruction at home and abroad goes on
part possu.

they are homeward bound, and the men are To
brownest and bravest happiest and hardest
fellows the world ever saw. We are under the
pleasantest kind Of martial law.
