RAILROAD MATTERS. -The National Intel
ligencer says 1t is stated in a reliable quar-
Ter that the Baltimore and Potomac railway
management contemplates running its road to
this city by line west of Baltimore, and not
through it. This would give an hour for rapid
transit, instead of its loss in getting through
the city. Perhaps the intention is to make
practical interior line, via Little York and con-
meeting railways. to New York. We under
stand that Mr.. Garrett is now running train
from this city which connects closely with that
of the Northern Central road, extending
through Pennsylvania and on to the West. -

The Impeachment trial was resumed
again on Thursday last. Some further evil
dence introduced on the part of the prose-
cutiou on that day, after which the counsel
for the defence opened the case on behalf
of the President The witnesses called for
the defence, have thus far not helped the
President, indeed some Of the testimonyshas
been more damaging then otherwise. One
of the grounds of justification set up en- the
part of the Presidents counsel is, that be
did not remove Secretary Stanton, but
ouly tried so to do It is not easy to see
how the Presidents case is mended by such
an excuse. The counsel for the President
have made elaborate arguments to prove
his right under the Constitution, to remove
high officials from office, without the CON
sent of the Senate Gen. Butler however
shows the inconclusiveness of such position.
So also the plea, that the President has a
right to disobey any lsw he deems uncon
stitutional in order that he may test it be
fore the Supreme Court, has been exposed
as every way fallacious. If no law were
binding on the Executive, until it bad been
examined and approved by the Supreme
Court, the government wonld be continual
ly liable to misrule and anarchy.

FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS,
Those Great Victories.

Some Of the Democratic papers, have been
trying hard for week or more past, to
make their readers believe, that -thereshave
been great democratic victories gained
somewhere. The particulars Of these won
derful successes they do not give but thai
matters not, if it only serves to keep up
the courage Of the party. Connecticut has
reelected Democratic Governor, and a
Republican Legislature ensuring the election
of y. S. Senator in the place Of Demo-
Graf not much cause for Democratic re-
ioicing that. Michigan has rejected the
new Constitution by an over whelming vote
but this has no political party significance
whatever In the strong Republican towns
of that State, the party has elected its town
tickets by the usual majorities, while these
same towns voted heavily against the Con.
stitution. There is nothing in the vote Of
Michigan, indicating any change favorable
to the democracy. 8-zal
In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the town
elections exhibit no encouragement for the
democracy. In Wisconsin, the Republicans
have carried the State this spring, by al
increased majority over last fall, yet tn,
Democracy pretend to be happy over thi
result That the democracy have had sue
cess Of any national Importance is purel.

reyiyes afresh, other similar disasters in past
years on the great western Lakes. The Chi

NEARLY twenty-one years ago, on the 9th
Of August l847, the Erie was burned, on her
trip from Buffalo to Chicago, with over 200
passengers on board, many of them emf
grants from Germany and Switzerland only
twenty eight OF whom were saved. still
more terrible event was the. burning of the
Phoenix, on the 21st of November, 1S47 near
Sheboygan, The vessel was coming to Chi
cago crowded with emigrants from Holland,
and $40 of the miserable creatures persisted in
the flames or in the water, And in 1852, on
the 10Th of August, occurred the memorable
collision of the steamer Atlantic, on Lake
Erie, with the propeller Ogdensburgh, fully
half OF her five hundred passengers finding a
watery grave. Even more appalling so far
as loss of life,is concerned, was the burning
OF the Griffith, in 1850, on the 18th of June,
by which fully three hundred human souls
we're hurried into eternity. And on October
., 1854, the E. K. Collins was burned, on her
voyage from the Sault to Cleveland involving
aslckening loss of life. The record of 1856
gives two more to the list-The Northern In
diana being burned on Lake Erie on the 18th
on the Gath Of September. By these catastro-
Plies hundred people persisted. The late
disasters to the Lady Elgin, the Sunbeam, the

the minds of our Western Readers, -
