The dreadful disaster on the Lake
Shore railro d was mad fatal Chiefly
by the upsctting Of the stoves in the
burnt car Plans for heating cars
without incnrring the danger Of fire
are now under discussion. and one
or two new experiments are on trial
but there is no method so simple as
that ofthe foreign railways, which
is thus described IN a letter to an
exchange:
Those who have Travelled by
railroad in almost any part Of Eu
rope in winter Will have observed
how comfortably warm. the cars are
kept, by tin cans or tanks Of hot
water, laid III the bottom oftle cars
in front Of every seat, ,pon which
to place the feet. 2'hese cans are
perhaps three by six inches, the
length OF the seat, which are for four
persons, The cans are inserted in
3 case made to ft, covered with car
peting. The water in them needs
changing only once in several hours
indeed, they retain the heat mitch
longer than might be supposed
even all night. At regular stations
the heaters arc changed, the colo
for warm. It is done very quickly.

nience to passengers

The New York Times says:

.'We again enter our protest
against the practice, which prevails
among some tobacco smokers, of
obtruding their stale smoke and vii
lainous pipes into public places
Ferry boats and street cars are be-
coming favorite resorts of smokers.
who complacently puff their second
hand smoke on all sides, to the in
tense disgust of all who are not ad-
dicted to the use of tobacco. Every
man has the right to smoke as much
as he chooses, but he has no right
to offend his neighbors who don't
smoke In all mixed assemblages
there are some persons to whom the
smell of tobacco is perfectly intoler-
aole. and among this class may be
counted the majority of the ladies.
Yet the smoker in his selfish enjoy
ment of his cigar or pipe, utterly ig-
nores their right to breathe the un-
defled air, and obtrudes himself and
his smoke upon them at all times and
all seasons. 1t is getting to be al
most impossible for non-smokers
to ride in either the cars or ferry
boats ON account of this nuisance.

Political INSANITY.

We do not suppose that sensible
men in the Democratic Party attach
any great value to the rantings of the
person know as Brick Pomeroy,"
who edits the La Crosse Democrat
in Wisconsin. He certainly is not
laying them under very heavy obi
cations for any help he is giving
them in their political contest just
now. ea.f 80
In one Of his recent political dis
scitations, speaking Of the evident
purpose Of the Republicans to admit
the southern States 50 as to vote in
the Presidential canvass, either for
that ''brainless butcher Grant, or the
fanatic Chase" he delivers himself
of this eNhortation
1--WE tell yoB Radicals and traitors
your tool shall never enter the Pres-
idential Mansion, elected by negro
votes. If this be treason, make the
most ofit. But bear in mind that's
treason hy two millions Of white
men, who are never ready to fight
] for white supremacy. God help. if
the struggle comes for spite of the
Rump, your niggers, and all the re-
naming powers of hell at your CON-
mand, white will win, and there will
be such an outpouring Of niger
blood, such hanging of Radicals to
'ssour apple trees" lis was never
known since tic world enl erged from
chaos!
: In this connection hint, Demo-
Gratis. In 1868 clubs will be formed
in every town and city Of the coun-
try. Let these clubs be composed of
men rs readyto fight as to vote =
Let them be drilled in the manuel of
arms-be as conversant with the
science Of military tactics as with
, Democratic principles. They may
not be required to display that
0 knowledge, but if niger or Radical
killing should be in order, they will
4 be as ready for that business as to
listen to the inaugural of Demo
I cratic President on the til day OF
q March, 1869"

to his son, at whose hands he soon
after lost his life:

Meeting OF the Republican State Con.
VentiOD-GFant Endorsed for Pres
tdent-ReSOlutlOns Adopted.

WILMINGTON, DEL, April 24.-The
Republican State Convention of Della
ware, met at Dover yesterday. Near
ly full delegations were present from
all the counties. The following dele
gates were chosen to the Chicago Con-
vention: Joshua T. Heald, Lewis
Thompson, r. B. Smithers, Thomas
b. COursey, G.. ShaytOn, Isaac ] Jen-
kins. Resolutions were adopted to
nominate General Grant and endorse
the Impeachment. Two of them are
as follows:
Res0lUed, That we approve the
plan adopted by Congress for the re-
organization of the rebel States; that
its vital principal, impartial suffrage,
IS just as we'll as polite, aud that in
view Of the action of Congress already
had as we'll as of justice, we express
the hope that such an amendment of
the Constitution of the United States
will be made as will secure the appli-
cation ofthe principle throughout the
Republic
Resol0ed, That we give our voice to,
and pledge our assistance In, the
maintenance of the national faith and
credit, insisting that In the payment
of the debt the spirit of the contract
shall be truly and honorabIy OBJ
served
The first of these two resolutions
was warmly discussed-Edward G
Bradford, Howard NJ. jenkins and
others supporting it. and Hon. n. B.
Smithers, Mayor Loft, and others,
it.
The resolution was finally adopted,
amid great enthusiasm, by a vote of
70 to 81.
The delegates have not been in
structed in regard to a candidate for
Vice President, but the opinion of the
country is generally favorable to
Wade.
