Mr.. Chatfeld, and no fault of the compa-
ny's, that he was not subjected to terri
BILE death. To the traveller this system
of door-locking is not only source of an
noyance, but of positive fear. Of late it
almost seems as though no railroad acct
dent could happen without the attendant
terror of fire. If the railways do not do
away with the danger of passengers being
burned to death at every petty accident,
they will either have to leave their doors
unlocked and give passengers chance for
their lives. or, as the Commercial suggests,
furnish each purchaser of ticket with an
ak, or some other suitable implent for bat
tering down doors. If railway companies
can show any good reason fer thus endan-
gering human life, we'll and good if not,
in the name of humanity, let them abolish
the practice.

New York, Feb. 3.

New YORK, Feb. 3.
The presidential cauldron has already
commenced to seethe and bubble with the
out-croppings and impurities of what prom
isos to be the most violent exciting politi-
cal canvass the country bas ever expert
enced. The leading jockeys and "whip-
pers-in" Of the two great rival organizations
which divide the sentiment and opinions
of the people, are now hard at work STIR
ring up the embers of party strife. We
shall soon be sent whirliDg into another
blaze of periodical frenzy. There is nc
lack of intrigue, plot and counter-plot
among the friends of the different rival
aspirants. Nearly every prominent man in
the State is spoken of in connection with
the position. The choicedof the democra-
cy here seems to be chiefly in favor of
Pendleton of Ohio. Seymour comes next.
though it is known he is not active in the
canvass and Andy johnson follows last,
backed up manly by the Herald. The
republicans. generally, favor Chase; Sen
ator Morgan, and others, Fenton, who is
not without powerful array of influential
adherents, who will back him up strong
against the field We hear very little re-
Gently of Mr.. A. T. Stewart, the rich dry
goods man of Broadway, and his candidate,
General Grant, whom he has been urging
forward as the "coming man."
The entire country, however, is being
flooded with campaign documents by the
friends of all the candidates. In all these
movements finance and taxation appears
to be lost sight of altogether. We hear
nothing more about reputation or cancel
ing the government Indebtedness With
grcenbacks. The republican policy seems
to be based entirely upon reconstruction,

ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCE
DENT.

From the Cincinnati Commercial we
learn the particulars of an another rail-
road accident, on the Atlantic and Great
Western railway. The midnight train,
Jan. 81, was thrown from the track near
Lewisburg, Champaign county, Ohio. The
sleeping car went down slight embank-
ment, turning over on its side. The pas
sengers, fortunately, we're rescued from
the car, which soon after took fire from a
kerosene lamp used for lighting it, and
was devoured by the flames In speaking
Of the efforts of one of the passengers to
escape, the Commercial says:
MT. ChatfeId was overwhelmed in the
heaps of mattresses and other bedding in
the car, and only extricated himself after
strenuous cxertions. Then the car was
utterly dark. There was smell of FIRE
and a considerable quantity of smoke. He
made his way with extreme difficulty to
the rear end Of the car, and found the
door locked. His utmost strength was in
sufficient to open the door, and he had to
scramble through The dense smoke and
darkness, the entire length of the car,
when he was so fortunate as to find the
conductor, who took his hand and helped
him out"
Can any railway official, or other per-
son, inform us why the doors of passen-
ger coaches are locked? In the case allu-
ed to above, it was the good fortune OF

CHICAGO CORRESP ONDENCE

CHICAGO, Feb. 3, 1868.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT One of the most
pleasing. possibly should rather say, the
only pleasing feature connected with the
great Lake street fire on the evening OF
the 18th ult., has been the remarka BILE
power of recuperation which our mer-
chants have exhibited. You have no
doubt received the extended reports of the
Chicago papers and so know oil about the
fire itself, for instance that it ragged until
about midnight. Well, all the firms who
were burned out had cards in the next
mornings papers announcing that they
had "moved" to new localities and that
they were ready to gil orders and trans
act business as before, the little incident
of the fire not having any effect in de-
ranging their business. Strolling down
street by the ruins, the passer-by would
even observe sort of grim cheerfulness
10 the way in which such announcements
were made. AT one place where the ruins
are still smoking, and bricks, little below
the surface are red hot yet, one firm an
nounces that it has "moved on account of
the intense heat" Another firm whose
former store is now only fantastic ice
grotto, sort of Arctic ocean, put up on
single stuck in monster icicle, "Mov-
ed-building not adapted to our wants. !"
Another Iaconically informs the public,
"Frozen out,-gone to No." and still
another with charming inde6niteness says
"Used to have store somewhere here,
moved in consequence of an occurrence
Tuesday evening last, to No." This
latter is stuck up on board over the re-
mains of one big block, of which not two
feet of wall have been left.
Among the most prompt to recover
from the great shock, was the old-estsb-
lished and favorably-known firm of Messrs
Merrill & Hopkins formerly located at
NO. ~ Lake street, but who have now Sc
cured magnificent new store at No. SO
South Water street. Their reputation as
dealers in crockery, earthenware, glass
ware, table service, plated goods, etc., is
side-spread, and throughout the north
west they have in their years of trade
made very many warm friends who will
be glad to learn that they have not been

CON GRESS.

The position of congress is truly pitia-
be. In the vain attempt to curry favor
with the people, congress has over reach
ed itself, and scarcely knows whether to
advance or retreat. 1t is making desper,
ate efforts to control every department Of
government, and does not hesitate to use
all the means in its power to protect itself
from the sure reward of its misdoings
The supreme court. at whose bar the lie.
gality or illegality of congressional enact
ments has heretofore been wont to be
tried, is proposed to be bound hand and
foot Instead Of the old-fashioned repub-
lioan principle of the majority ruling, it
is now proposed that six eighths of the
judges be required to be in favor Of any
proposition before they can arrive at a
decision. In other words, the opinion of
three men is, for all practical purposes, to
balance that of five men. Congress fears
that the UNANIMOUSLY notorious acts, called
reconstruction, may be thrown back in
to its teeth and declared unconstitutional.
Why not abolish the supreme court alto
gether? The N. Y. Evening Journal
(republ:can) speaking Of this last and
browning enormity. says:
"Do the republican leaders in congress
wish to justify the charge of the demo-
Gratis, that they are bent upon usurpation
and revolution? Have they become 81
indifferent to popular opinion that they
are prepared to remove any obstacle which
may be presented to their policy, regard
less of every constitutional provision?
If majority in the legislature car
prohibit the court from passing upon an,
particular class Of cases which have be
come subjects of popular excitement, ther
the judiciary, so far forth, is virtually abol
ished, and there is no appeal for the citi
zen from the operations Of law, however
obnoxious it may be in Its provisions t.
principles of the constitution, or however
subversive Of personal rights. Tha
questions like those arising under the re
construction bills we're intended to be EN-
braced among those for which the crea
ton of the court was authorized, is toe
plain to admit Of dispute"
Some two or three weeks ago Mr.. Bing
ham suggested the propriety of passing
law to prevent the legislature of Ohio
from re-districting the state! Of cours'
congress wishes to retain the republican
pet lambs in power, and of course it viii
not hesitate at any enormity to attain its
purposes. With equal propricty Mr
Bingham might suggest that congress
hereafter, attend to redistricting each
county in the United States, in such q
manner that republicans only shall be
elected to the Office Of county commission
err; and it would be still better if town
ship lines could be arranged in more sat
isfactory manner, by the wise Solons VIII,

Two or three deadly assaults By high

many attempts of this kind which do not

and. He was shot through the head and
dangerously wounded, and robbed of his
watch and small amount of money. His
wife alarmed the neighbors with her cut
cries, but the robber in the meantime safe
" escaped.
Pulmonary disease and the ills Of broken

full import, showing loss eff the nurslings
at the rate of So per cent. Society should
be aroused to the duty of saving still more
Of the innocent life which vice and cupid

1t would seem to be almost impossible
to suppress the numerous gangs of we'll

of the most audacons robberies being
openly committed on some Of our crowded
street cars. The chevaliers travel in cou
pies and fours, and resort to every known
dodge to ply their nefarious calling. The
conductors. who appear to know the prin
:, clpal ones. are believed, IN most cases, tC
be in league with them, and in other case:
afraid Of personal violence if they inform
On them. The latest dodge practised BY
these gentry was to raise an alarm Of fire
at the French theatre, at last Saturday,:
matinee. The audience was chiefly com
posed Of ladies, and during the excitemen
which ensucd, rushed to the corridors
yestibules and stairways in wild panic
to escape. While it lasted raany of TIL
audience were relieved of their pocket
books, watches, diamond breaches, and
