Garibaldi Defeated,

The cable dispatches furnish brief account of the defeat of Garribaldi by the combined forces of the Pope and the French Emperor. As to Garibaldi' fate reports are contradictory. One account says that he is killed while another makes him prisoner. The probability is that the revolutionists have received such serious check as will cause them to abandon their de- signs. They never had any reasonable hope for success unless Victor Emanuel give them his favor and assistance, and that he was bound by treaty not to do.
 He was under solemn obligations to maintain the integrity of the Papal do- and up to this time he has acted in good faith, and has refrained from taking any active part either for or against. Whether he will continue or not remains to be seen.- France has fully committed herself in behalf of the Pope and will not recede. Prussia has intimated a disposition to take part in the embodiment and may do it. If she does it is not un- likely that Austria may also take a hand, and with all these great powers engaged there would be bloody work. It may be, however, that Garibaldi's disaster will close the war. After such a repulse as he has received it will be difficult for him to recover, and in al- most any event, with Victor Emanuel neutral, it will be impossible for him to sustain himself against the power of France. If the report of his death should prove to be correct, the move ment of which he was the originator and guiding spirit will necessarily fail.

A Suggestion to Railroad Men.

The present system worked by the railroad companies throughout the country is one which is universally un- popular with the travelling public. It is we'll enough to have car for ladies, but yet there is decided objection to thrusting q gentleman, who happens to be alone, into a dirty car filled with men splitting and squirting tobacco juice all around. But still he has no remedy he must either go in there or remain upon the platforms as the fell low standing sentinel at the door, in an insolent tone, tells you, "Can't go there, ladies cargo to next car," and shoves you back. There is not much comfort in travelling anyhow, but when Q gentleman to whom smoking may be very obnoxious is thrust into car filled with men smoking and chewing, it is enough to make him growl. The Nashville Banner, in an editorial on this subject, gives the following very sensible reasons why a classification of cars should be adopted on our railroads. We coincide fully with the views of the Banner, and think the time has about arrived when such s procedure is an absolute necessity, both for the good ofthe roads and the protection of all classes of passengers. The classifi- cations are as follows:
 "There ought to be three classes of passenger cars and tickets on our rail- roads. The first class ought to be an expensive ticket, which would be bought by wealthy people, families with small children, etc., who want to travel by themselves, and are willing to pay more to travel by themselves. First class cars ought to be divided in to experiments of six seats, which could be used as couches in the night, and these compartments ought to be like the present so-called first class passenger cars, with the same price. Sleeping cars could be attached to them Unnecessary.
 '"rhe third class tickets ought to be very cheap, and give admittance to unstuffed seats, which would have the comfort of stove in winter.
 Ut is believed that railway travelling, by the introduction of such classes, would increase the income of railway companies, as the public would, no doubt, appreciate the advantages emu merated.
 "By such system, the foolish scpa- ration of the sexes would be discon- tinued, and the negroes would, of course, crowd into the third class cars on account of the cheapness ofthe fare.' Mobile Tribune. ie ltaI i4Sie

Observing that there was a lady in the compartment, he was about to replace the cigar in his case: when To! from the lady's feet therc rose big dog, in threatening attitude. At the same time the lady snatched the cigar from the gentlemans mouth and threw it out of the window, with the remark: q dislike smokers, they make me ill.," The gentleman, with polite bow, rejoined: "I do not like dogs, they annoy me- Then seizing the an- imal by the back of the neck, he pitch ed him after the cigar.
