stoves In Railrond Cars.

Railroad accidents nowadays are invested
with new and horrible interest. In most OF
the later disasters a collision. misplaced
switch or broken rail is attended with the
destruction Of the train by fire. The terrible
scene at Angola IL still fresh In our recollec-
ton when q similar accident, fortunately
unattended with loss of life, is reported from
Ohio. The train struck broken rail, was
thrown of an embankment and set on fire by
the overturned stoves and broken kerosene
lamps. There Is not the slightest reason why
railroad companies should subject passengers
and their motive property to the danger of
fire. Stoves and kerosene lamps are entirely
unnecessary, for the cars may be heated by
steam or hot air pipes from the engine, and q
sufficient supply Of candles would be better
than dangerous fluid for lighting purposes.
These are obvious risks to travellers and
should be removed. If the legislatures of the
different States take the matter In their hands and
compel railroad companies to adopt the neces-
sary precautions against fre, which assumes
its most frightful aspect in railroad car,
there will be none of the Angola style o!
massacre to chronicle In disasters on railroads.
II Is bad enough to be smashed and ground
between cars in a collision or fall from a
precipioe without having the supplementary
horror Of being roasted TO death.

The imperial government in France does
not appear to be getting into happier relations
with the press OF. the country. 1t is now
reforms which II was his intention TO introduce
on as early day as possible. The press,
according to the proposed arrangement was
to be placed on an entirely new footing and to
be comparatively free. |. il rather s;gnif-
cant circumstance that at time when Ii was
expected these reforms should become law
seventeen editors should have been arrested
and brought to trial, ten Of whom have since
been found guilty and condemned TO pay
fine Of one thousand francs, 10 be imprisoned
for six months and to bear the cost OF the legal
proceedings, for no higher offence than print
ing report of debate not taken down by
the government reporter. Such is liberty
under the empire BY cable despatch dated
January 80 we are Informed that the new
project of law for the government of the press
had been discussed in the Corps LegislatiE M.
Theirs had eloquently advised the concession
of further liberties and the removal from
the press Of absurd restrictions which had
proved the ruin OF many dynasties. NJ.
Pinard. who spoke in the name of the govern
ment, deprecated the granting Of further
liberties, and declared that French journalists
had, during the year which had elapsed since
the concessions we're promised. proved their
entire unftness for the liberty which their
friends wished to secure for them II may,
therefore. be taken for granted that for the
present the French press must continue in
bonds. If the French people will have a
Cesar they must content themselves with what
liberty Caesar is pleased TO give them.
Napoleon's fear of the journalists does not
augur well for the stability of the empire.

Expenses Of the Civil Department. of the
Governments.

Mr.. Stevens has reported bill from the
Committee on Appropriations TO provide for
the expenses Of the different branches OF the
civil department of government for the fiscal
year ending June, 1869. The total amount is
little over seventeen millions. The Commit
tee has reduced the original estimates six
millions As Congress is making great fuss
about the expenses of the State Department, 1t
may be well to notice that the whole amount
of appropriation called for is only one
hundred and eghty-nine thousand dollars.
This is a very moderate sum for such an
important department of great nation.
Congress might complain with reason Of some
other expenses altogether out Of proportion to
the service rendered. For example, one
million two hundred and seventy-one thou
sand dollars for public printing is too large a
sum, and evidently carries some big jobs with
IL. But six millions one hundred thousand

work and was fraught with more difficulties
than any structure which might be required to

The recent statement OF the Secretary of the
Treasury in relation to the collection of the
Internal Revenue tax presents some curious
facts concerning the falling off in the revenue
during the year 1867, and shows that in the
districts where President johnson removed
cersain assessors and collectors and appointed
men in their places solely on his own respon-
siblity, without consulting Mr.. Commissioner
Rollins or needing the Tenure of Office law,
the government WIS saved large sums of
money, owing to the comparatively small
deficit, arising, no doubt, from the larger
absence of fraud in those districts. For in
stance, Mr.. McCulloch shows that in all the
two hundred and forty districts into which the
country is divided there was difference Of
revenue between the years 1866 and 1867 Of
$29 ,697 AL. The number of districts in which
tho President appointed officials without the
recommendation OF Mr.. Rollins was twenty,
and the number OF districts with that recon-
mcndation was one hundred and nineteen.
a. The average falling off per district" says
the Secretary, " in the one hundred and nine
teen districts in which the President made re-
ton OF the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
is $l60,942. The average falling Off in the
twenty districts in which the President made
removals without consulting the Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue is S4s, ,470." From all
the facts and figures before him Mr.. MCculloch
comes to this conclusion, that in the twenty
districts where the President acted on his own
responsibility " the falling of Of the receipts
from 1867, as compared with 1866, was only
$46,470 per district, relative gain per dis
trict, as compared with the other two hundred
and twenty districts, OF Ss4,293--an aggregate
gain in the twenty districts of sl,6s5,s and
an increase Of revenue to the country. Had
changes been made in the other two hundred
and twenty districts with like results the gain
would have amounted to $1s,544y552." There
fore, whatever further deficiencies may turn
up in the Internal Revenue receipts, we know
exactly where to look for them, and 1t will
evidently not be in those districts where Andy
Johnson makes his own appointments and re-
movals.

Our News from HaytI.

= letter signed by the Consul OF Hayti ap-
peared in our columns on Thursday, calling In
question the accuracy Of our news from Hayu
by way OF Havana. The writer even ssys =
Il should not wish to believe that the press
correspondent may be paid by Mr.. Geffrard.
but IL he was he could not write differently"
Now, an insinuation that our Havana corre-
spondent is in the pay of either Genfrard or
Salnave would be equally absurd and imperti-
nent 1t is scarcely necessary to say that we
have no occasion to select as our own corre-
spendents the paid agents of any government
or any faction anywhere. The functions Of
such paid agents and of HERALD correspond
ent are utterly incompatible and cannot be
performed by one and the same individual.
Not the least reason for our entire confidence
in our Havana correspondence is the accuracy,
80 repeatedly verified, of the very news from
Hayt against which some of our incredulous
contemporaries as well as the Consul protest,
without however, taking the trouble of
adducing single proof to justify them in
contradicting the news. We have received and
published, from time to time, descriptions of
scenes of atrocity paralleled only by the worst
horrors which Hayti and St. Domingo have ever
witnessed during nearly fifty years of chronic
state OF revolution. In every case our news
from Hayti has been subsequently confirmed
as but too painfully true and accurate. The
terrible picture of negro barbarism and negro
supremacy may serve to inspire our poll
ticians and our people with wholesome dread
of the possible consequences Of the radical
policy Of Congress.
As for Samana, its eale or lease to the United
States government is comparatively insig-
nifcant step towards ulterior, grand and
inevitable results. Opposition to "manifest
destiny" will be as futile as it is presumptuous
and unwise.
We cannot recommend to the Consul of
Hayt or to any one else the ambitious career
essayed by George Sanders, Colorado Jewett,
George Francis Train and dozen other self
constituted champions Of this or that nation
ality. George Sanders, for instance, while
Consul at London, let Mazzini, Kossuth, Louis
Blanc and the rest of the exiled continental
revolutionsts tickle his vanity and fool him
into believing that he was special envoy
extraordinary TO all the great Powers Of the
earth. But his example, and that of all
Quixotic individuals OF the same class, from
Anacharsis Clootz to George Francis Train, is
to be stunned rather than followed.
