There was viIlainous tempting of Provi-
dence on the Harlem Railroad yesterday.
Workmen had been blasting in the Harlem cut
on Sunday, and several tuns Of rock were
thrown on the UP track. The northward- bound
trains on Monday morning were consequently
Obliged tn take the down track as far as liar-
lom. The down trains, instead of waiting for
them at Mott Haven. were allowed to stand
right in the center Of the bridge, ana as the
heavily laden cars Of the Harlem and New
Haven up trains rolled past them, the rlckety
structure quivered like an aspen, the frame
work rocked to and fro, and tee tmbeJrs
cracked. We belieIs i! j a rule Of ths COM
panies that two trains shall not be allowed on
the bridge at the same tipe; or if it is not the
experience Of yesterday morning proves plainly
that il ought to be. If there had been an accl-
dent yesterday through the neglect OF this
rule, wherein would it have differed from man
slaughter

Our Democratic friends are much alarmed at
the expenses of reconstructing the Union, and
are anxious for retrenchment.
If they had never rebelled, these expenses
would never have been possible. If. having
rebelled at the South, they had not encouraged
the Rebellion at the North, the expenses would
never have reached half their present figure.
Having made these expenses inevitable, If they
will abandon their efforts toward reputation,
we may soon lessen the rate of interest on the
national debt from six to four per cent, and
save the country s4OOOO,0O0 q year. And, if they
will cease their efforts to continue the political
slavery of four millions of the Southern people,
and place no further obstruction in the way of
the Reconstruction of the South, the Cniou
will be restored and all expenses of Recon
structiOn stopped .-.-

The rampant gold gambling of the last few
days is undoubtedly stimulated by the late vote
by which the Senate-30 to 17--resolved that it
would not be pledged against a fresh imitation
of the currency. Many of the "bulln pur-
chases of gold "On time" have been made
either directly on account of parties in Wash
ingt0n, or on the strength Of confidential adj
vices from that quarter Thus gold has been
pushed up above 40 per cent premium; and it
is now reported that the Hon. John Sherman
(ChalrInan OF the Senate's Finance COmmittee)
has demonstrated IN favor of moderate ex-
"pansionn
simultaneously with this development we
are advised that Republican County COnvcn-
ton at the capital of Indiana has unanimously
resolved that the principal of all United States
bonds which do not expressly specify that they
are payable in coin shall be paid in legal
tender. In other words: That the Government
sholl, III time of peace, tx and alter the
value of its debt of Two-and-a-Half Billions of
its own good pleasure If that is Republican
ism, what would he rascalityf
We warn Honorable gentlemen who deem it
advisable to humor this little game" that
they will live to rue it. If the National Debt
is to be repudiated, it will not be by Repub.
lican Administration. The party that main
tanned the Union and destroyed Slavery will
be saved from that depth OF infamy.

Gen. Butler addressed an immense gathering
of people at Richmond yesterday on the vari-
GUS subjects now agitating the public mind,
laying particular stress upon the popular de-
mand for the political equality of blacks and
whites, advocating the parceling out of farm
lands, and ridiculipg the idea of war
of races in the South. His advice to
our unreconstructed brethren in reference to the
stand they should take, in view of the uncom-
promising action of Congress, is well worth
reading and pondering not only by the i'm
poverished people to whom his remarks were
addressed, but by the miserable minority at
the North, who, like Postmaster Nasty and
Deacon Pogram, still cling to the skirts of the
defunct aristocracy of Slavery, and whine for
the return of the good old days of dlapda-
tiOn.

The Ohio Senate cOncurs with the Assembly
in repeating the assent of that State to the
pending Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution. Mr.. Colfax's assurance that Con-
gress would take no step backward seems to
have started the Democracy in just that direc-
ton. That they would also retract the consent
of the States to the Amendment abolishng
Slavery, every man knows who knows any
thing of the real spirit of the party ;
they might hesitate for while to return to
bondage those who have been emancipated, but
the Northern section would, as a party, stand
by and see their brethren of the late slavehold-
ing States do it. Fortunately, the abrogation
of contracts and the repeal of regularly ratified
amendments is less easy than the Pendleton
regulators would like.

A party of Democratic politicians are clam
oring for the removal of the Collector of Phil
adelphia, so that room may be made for some
body who will administer the office with due
regard 70 the coming election. We wish the
time would come when neither Democratic nor
Republican politicians would have power to
interfere in such removals. 1t is by yielding
to such pressure that Mr.. johnson has brought
the revenue system into its present discredit'
able situation, and he can only reform it by
making his appointments with regard solely
to fitness and honesty.

contains some fine bits Of melody, worthy OF IN

most was the exquisite handling OF the orchestri

Indian element IN the music Is less happily conceived
with perhaps the exception OF the march In the second
act but much OF the less favorable impression produces
by this part OF the opera must be attributed TO the man

her task. The music affords many difficulties, wnlcs
likely will be better overcome tomorrow night when I'D

The Lou siana Constitutional Convention has
somehow recovered from the speeeh-making
mania, and is advancing earnestly with its
work. Though it took twenty-six days to
adopt the first two sections Of the Constitu-
ton, it has advanced within the past two
weeks to article 81, and the Conservative
strategy of defeating it by stress of adverse
wind, seems to have fairly blown itself out.
Is there any hope that the New-YOrk Consti-
