ROBERT F. STOCKTON.

Mr.. Robert +. Stockton, son of the
lately deceased Commodore Stockton,
and Adjutant General of the Militia of
this state has been elected to the Presi-
dency of the Delaware and Raritan canal
This position was formerly filed by his
father, and SO controlled by him, that an
enterprise, which without the wisest
foresight was ruinously unsuccessful
one, became one of the richest corpora
tions in the state, and at the same time
one of the cheapest and safest in its
transportation. 1t was mainly through
the exertions of the Commodore that the
company was united with the Camden
and Amboy rail road, union which was
attended with the happiest results to
both their interests and also to the
general interests of the state. Mr..
Stockton succeeds to this position, pos
sessed of the ripest experience in the
management Of its interests, and if we
Judge the son by the. father, the post will
be filed with an ability which will con-
tinue it in the future as it has been in
the past, one of the most valuable auxil-
iaries to the prosperity of New jersey.

THE FREEDMEN.

A meeting in behalf of the Freedmen's
commission, deriving its chief impor-
tance from the fact that Chief Justice
Chase and Major General Howard were
present as speakers, was recently held in
Philadelphia. The Chief Justice avowed
his sympathy with all its operations, and
alluded to the fact that he had instituted
similar operations as long ago as the
capture of Port Royal. Gen. Howard
gave some valuable statistics, and left the
idea plainly impressed, that some such
instrumentality as the commission was
needed to educate the South, both white
and black, and that in that education lay
the only, hope for its elevation. Both
these distinguished gentlemen favored
strongly the Identification of our gov
ernment with the nationally bsnevolen,
of the day, and insisted that in this way
alone could the generous instincts of the
American heart be fully educated.

SOUTHERN GRATITUDE.

According to recent report of the U. S.
Quartermaster General all the horses and
mules belonging to the Confederate Govenrn-
ment, except those actually included in the
surrender of johnson and Lee, which were
comparatively few, were turned over for the
use of the Southern people without compen-
sation of any kind whatsoever. Many thous-
ands of horses and mules besides were either
loaned or sold on credit to Southern farmers
by the United States, scarcely any of which
have ever been either returned or paid for, and
all attempt at the collection of the animals or
their value have been abandoned. The gov
ernment made repairs on Southern railroads
to the amount of twelve millions for which
they made no charge, and sold them 1859 en-
gines and 2644 cars, scarcely any of which
have been paid for according to agreement,
while the roads have been paying up back
dividends with their money. The entire
amount Of railroad property sold on credit to
the South by the government is nearly
$500, 100000. And yet the daily language Of
these people is made up Of curses on the
government.

70 At meeting of the Board of Directors
of the West Jersey Rail Road Company held
Nov. Oath, 1866, the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, That the Board of Directors of the
West Jersey Rail Road Company by the
decease of their President, Commodore Rob-
ert Field Stockton, have to deplore bereave-
ment, the magnitude of which words cannot
adequately depict.
by Commodore Stockton to West Jersey, and
to the State and the country at large cannot
be too highly esteemed, while to the latest
posterity they will command the admiration
and respect ofthe people of the United States.
Resolved, That while his heroic achieve
ments on Land and Sea rival those of the
most distinguished of his contemporaries yet
chiefly will his memory be gratefully cherish
ed by Jerseymen for those pacific works, the
paternity of which through all time must be
ascribed to him.
Resotued, That to the sagacity, energy and
laborious devotion of the best days of Com
modore Stockton, New Jersey is indebted for
that great national and state Improvement, the
Delaware and Raritan canal and for that other
great work, the West Jersey Rail Road,
which is rapidly converting an area of nearly
half of the State, from waste wilderness into
the cultivated homes of an industrious and
prosperous people.
Resolved, That the members of this board,
desire to present to the family of their de-
ceased President, their respectful sympathy
and coincidence for their irreparable loss, and
that the secretary of the company forward to
them copy of these proceedings.
Resolved, That the Secretary furnish a copy
of the foregoing resolutions for publication in
the New Jersey papers.

RAIL ROAD.

A new bridge, $500 feet long, has been
constructed at Havre de Grace on the
line of the Philadelphia and Baltimore
rail road. This bridge, with the excep-
tion of the one at Trenton in our State,
and the long bridge over the Potomac,
is the longest in the country. Its con-
struction has been attended with almost
inconceivable difficulties and has occupied
two entire years, but it is at last COM
pleted, a marvel Of engineering science
and skill. The bridge shortens the
time by one hour between New York
and Washington, and will probably put
an end to the question of another line
between those two cities as an hours
time was about all that was claimed for
the proposed new route.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

The day appointed by the national and
state authorities as day Of thanksgiving
to Almighty God for his mercies, was
observed by the good people Of this city
with unanimity, perhaps greater than
on almost any occasion of the past The
Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and
Methodist churches all held divine service
in the midst of large and attentive audi
euces, and the preaching while generally
devoid of partisan illusions, yet recog-
nized fully the identification of the
christian church with the government of
the land, and the duty Of that church to
insist upon the government being admin
istered upon christian principles. We
were privileged to attend the services of
the Methodist church and listen to a
sermon from Rev. Mr.. Stockton, which
for its valuable array Of statistics, its
pointed, direct and witty allusions,-its
deep and religious fervor, and its solid
presentation Of gospel nationality, was
not surpassed by any previous discourse
of the kind that we now remember. In
the afternoon the citiz ems were invited to
witness the dedication of the new
and beautiful schooner, Mary II. West
colt, Captain J. Westcott commander
It has. been the rule of the captain
throughout all ofa long and prosperous
maratime life, to dedicate every vessel he
has built, to Almighty God, before she
sailed from her docks, and as this one
was completed, this day was selected for
the purpose, and large number of our
citizens gathered to participate in the
ceremony. Ahymn was read by Rev.
Mr.. Whitecar, after which prayer was
offered by Rev. Mr.. Stockton, when the
dedicatory address was made by Rev. Mr.
Ballard. Short addresses were also made
/ by Messrs. Whitecar and Stockton who
also sang some beautiful hymns appropri-
ate to mariners upon the deep, when the
services closed BY the offering Of a dedi-
catory prayer, and the audience dispersed
with religious feelings intensified and
deepened by the occasion, and the
heartiest good wishes for the success Of
Captain Westcott and his vessel.

Presidential Compliment to Bridgeton

Some weeks since our community was
President had removed our excellent post
master, Mr.. Joseph Miner, and appointed Mr..
Samuel r. Fithian in his place. The people
of our benighted city. wither. distinction Of
party, were unable to appreciate the honor
and petitioned Mr.. johnson not to mark them
so specially as objects of his favor. Mr..
Fithian found unexpected difficulties in the
way, and, according to the current reports,
was unable to find the necessary bondsmen to
guarantee his honest discharge of the functions
of the office. This in addition to the fact that
the Presidents friends were as much dis
gusted with the appointment as his enemies,
kept the matter in allegiance and Mr.. Miner
continued postmaster at Bridgeton and Mr..
Fithian was continued as mail agent on the
Delaware and Raritan Bay R. r. Since his
appointment there, however, there has been
serious difficulty about the abstraction o.
money letters from the mails upon that route,
and the special detectives of the Government
SO far succeeded in tracking the offender that
few days since Mr.. Fithian was arrested at
their instance, and as the same difficulty ex-
listed in obtaining bail as had formerly existed
in obtaining bondsmen, Mr. .Fithian, postmaster
appointee Of Bridgeton, was committed to
Jail. 1t is understood, however, that he has
powerful friends in Washington, some of
whom can accomplish almost anything that
they desire with portion of the male infuen-
tals in that moral city, and SO the probabilities
are that he will soon be at liberty again under
special pardon of the President, although we
sincerely hope that this last act of his may
not be construed into special fitness for the
position of postmaster of Bridgeton.

w At the caucus of the Republican mem

r At the caucus of the Republican men,
bers of Congress it was recommended that no
appointee of the President should be con-
firmed by the Senate where the former in
cumbent had been removed for political rea-
sons. In connexion with this Judge Kelly
stated that among these appointees were many
men whom he himself had sentenced to the
Penitentiary for crimes against the law--pick-
pockets-thieves, and people of like stamp.
Wen Bridgeton had sample of the men ap-

hasty in ousting all the scoundres that the
Executive in the eager ness of political zeal
has forced upon us.

The Supreme Court of Indiana has decided
that the article in the State Constitution which
prohibits negroes from entering the State is
null and void, and that consequently they can
not be prohibited from settling there if they
so choose. This decision redeems Indiana
from what was foul disgrace, and places her
once more upon an equality with the other
free States of the Union.
