Fort Sumter had surrendered At Ave minutes TO ono
NJ, on Saturday, the 18th Of April, 1851, the loyal

Yesterday tho same crowds were assembled,
but from another cause.-The car drivers strike.
Five years ago the national flag flying fro the City

SMASH Up AMONG PETROLEUM BRoKERs.-A
large number of petroleum stock brokers have
gone up within q few days. In reality there
never was any soundness to most Of them. The
whole petroleum stock jobbing business has
been unsound from the beginning. Petroleum
is legitimate article Of commerce.; it possesses
real and substantial value, the same as -four,
beef, pork, or any other commodity in general
demand. To give the interest fictitious i'm
portance through the agency Of special stock
board is and always will be an absurdity
There are number Of sound companies, COM
posed of intelligent and honorable men, en-
gagged in developing the oil territory of tb.,
country, and are paying, in the aggregate, bver
three millions per year into the national treasl-
ry. The stocks of these companies do not re-
qaife either bulling or bearing to give them
consequence, or to bring them into notoriety
among stock jobbers. The rotten concerns are
going to smash every day, and the sooner the
better. It will all be for the benefit of the
sound companies, and to the ultimate advan.
tage of the revenue of the country.

A VETO AT Acknowledgements Fenton has
seen fit to veto bill in reference to filling GER
tain sunken lots and abating nuisance in the
upper part Of this city. Why do not the radi-
Gals in the Legislature call him psurper and
declare him traitor for thus interfering with
their schemes? We fear that they have not
been educated up to the new creed of the
party as established at Washington. Surely
the Albany radicals are behind the age, or they
would arraign the Governor as despot Have
they no Wades, Stevenses nor Summers in the
Legislature to instruct them in the new part

EXECUTION OF THE MAIDEN MURDERER-The
buOgling manner in which the execution of
Green, the Maiden murderer, was performed at
East Cambridge, Mass, on Friday last, suggests
prompt action to prevent repetition of Incl
dents of that kind in the future. Our cores
pendent states that the rope was so long that
the feet Of the culprit touched the ground. In
this dilemma the Deputy Sheriff was compelled
TO "draw the body up from the ground, and
hold IL thus suspended until he judged life to
be extinct" We do not remember to have seen
an account of an execution 80 horribly miscorr
Quoted as this; and we trust, Cor the reputation
of tie country, that the like will never occur
again. Does not this show the necessity for re-
modelling or laws in reference to executions!
Why should sheriff or his deputy perform
that duty' There Is certainly no good reason
for II; and II this affair at East Cambridge is a
sample Of how they perform their duties,
that duty should be taken out of their
hands. In England, and, we believe, In
several other European nations, q person
is appointed by the government to perform
that duty. He goes around TO the differ
cnt points Of the country wherever an execu-
son Is ordered and does the work In scien-
tihc way. There are no mishaps, stretching Of
ropes or anything Of the kind 10 add TO the
horrors Of the deed. The hanging Of human
being is revolving enough at the best, withou,
having Its horrors incfeased by such butchery

RAILROAD AcCmENrs.-The burning Of q
bridge on the night Of the 18th instant resulted
in very extraordinary accident on the Yer
mont Central Railroad. The conductor of the
night express train, having had no warning Of
the burning Of the bridge, was going with his
train at full speed, when It was suddenly
smashed up in Q heap in the chasm. passen-
ger was killed. the conductor was seriously
injured, and eight or ten other persons were
more or less hurt The only wonder is that all
on board the train were not either killed or
wounded. But how was 1t that the conductor
was not informed of the fire at the bridget It
must have made q considerable light; and one
would think that somebody within view of It
along the line of the road must have at least
accident was an extraordinary one; but it sug-
gests to all railroad companies the duty of
extraordinary vigilance along their lines in the
night
The season is approaching when q much
larger proportion than usual Of the whole popu-
lation of the country will be adrift on our
numerous railway lines, North, South, East
and West. In the meantime, to the wear and
tear Of all our railroads from the heavy business
Of the war; must now be added the damages
from the winters ffosts and the thawings, rains
and floods of the spring Every railroad COM
pany in the country, therefore, in view Of these
things and the increase Of its passenger
traffic during the summer season, should now
be engaged in carefully repairing damages and
in providing in every way for the public safety.
Looking over the schedule Of railway accidents
for the last three months throughout the Union,
we find that there were sixteen Of these casual
ties in January, sixteen IA February, and only
four during tie month of March, and but two so
far fer April. This shows considerable i'm
provement; but with the rush and hurry of the
summers travel there is the danger of a heavier
chapter of accidents than ever before from the
general disposition of railway companies to
make their expenses in the way of repairs as
light as possible, so as to secure good
exhibit of dividends for stock jobbing in Wall
street. A broken rail in nine cases out Of ten
is the cause Of the railway disaster; and the
broken rail is caused by defective iron, or a
defective road bed, from the washing of the
earth, or by the rotting of the cross-ties before
their decay is detected. The past winter and
the opening spring in these damages have been
very severe upon all the railroads of this
country, and especially upon those roads which
have not been thoroughly inspected below the
surface for two or three years. Now is the time
for all the railroad companies in the land to
overhaul their respective roads, iron, wood,
stone, earthworks and rolling stock; for, other
things being equal, the line which is safest to
the public will be most profitable to the
company.

Tn PHnADELPHIA TRAGEDY.-Ths murder of
whole family in an isolated place near Phila-
delphia should admonish all those living in the
country to be careful in regard to the employ
ment Of their help. The rebellion has thrown
upon the community many persons Of diaboli-
cal natures, whose regard for human life has
been blunted by the savage usagss Of war;
Our farmers and others living in the rural dis
tricts should, therefore, be extremely cautious
in selecting their laborers and domestics, other
wise the frightful Deering massacre may be
repeated at time and at place least ex-
pected.

THE CASE OF JEFF DAvrs-Hitherto the
Chief Justice, adhering closely to the maxim
recognizing the incompaHbility of laws and
arms, has refused to try JEFF Davis in Virginia,
because it was under martial LAWN a state
of war. He held that he could not properly be
tried elsewhere, and since civil law was not
the recognized power in that State he could
not be tried there. Therefore he could not be
tried at all.
In preierring to try Davis in the State OF
Virginia the Chief Justice was quite right. In
an important trial for treason, on which all the
legal talent of the country will be brought out,
every bubble and doubt that offers chance
Of escape will be tried to the utmost. We ought,
therefore, on such triuf, to avoid as many du-
bious points as we may; ana it would conse-
queutiy be unwise to bring into the trial of Mfr.
Davis the question of constructive presence. The
Supreme Court has once declared that the man
in any way connected with reasonable acts
however remote he might be personally from
the scene OF violence, was guilty of treason !;
but this has been held to be eztrajudicial, be-
cause che point of presence was not before the
court when that declaration wus made. II is
not by any means certain that The point can be
satisfactorily determined in that way, and,
therefore, it should not be brought up. For
this reason Chief Justice Chase vas quite right
in desiring that JEFF. Davis should be tried in
Virginia. He should be tried in Virginia, and
he should be tried for levymg war at the bat
tie of Bull Run. He was present at that bat
tie, was personally on the field with Beaure-
gard and Joe Johnston while the. battle was at
its height. by trying him for that we avoid
the only really troublesome point in such
trial.
What Is to prevent his trial in that State
now? Has not the state of affairs recognized
by tho Presidents proclamation removed the
whole diflicultyG There is peace in Virginia
now, and if the Chief Justice were sincere in
his objections he must perceive that they no
longer have any basis. Let Davis be tried at
once If guilty of crime he should be pun
ished; II not guilty he should not be subjected
to the lingering torture of Imprisonment and
suspense.
