TIE many terrible Railroad accidents
that have happened lately, exhibit, in {
painful manner, the necessity for the
radical reconstruction " of cars and
the employment gilmore effectual guards
against the danger of running OF the
track. The awful tragedy at Angola,
whereby sixty-uine persons were killed,
many of them being burnt to crisp,
and the accident which is mentioned in
the last dispatches-the burning of a
sleeping car on the Chicago and Quincy
Rsilroad-are costly illustrations of
this necessity. To avoid the danger
from imperfect brakes, a new contriv-
auce of the sort has been invented, with
which the engineer may stop the tram
almost in stautly (; but railway passen-
gers are still at the mercy OF badly con-
structed wheels, kerosene lamps and
cars built of light, dry wood and COW
cred With highly combustible paint.
The New York Tribune of late date
makes some suggestions upon this sub
Jact which ought to be seriously consid-
cred by Railway Directors. That paper
suggests that cars should be built Of
iron instead of wood that they should
be set upon more wheels than are now
used; and strong guards should be
erected at the sides Of the track where
1t passes through dangerous places.
These seem admirable suggestions, espe-
c.ally the idea Of iron cars, which
neither smash into kindling wood, nor
burn like finder, as the cars now in use
sss but too apt to do when an accident
occurs. The Panama Railroad il fur
ssshed with several iron cars and they
'ssQ ~ light and neat as there is any !

Loss OF THREE AMERICAN SH1Ps.-The
San Francisco Evening Dispatch of the 80
inst. has the following statement
By the arrival yesterday morning of the
Idaho, from Honolulu, we learn that three
American ships had been wrecked at the
guano islands to the southwark of the Sand
wich group. The ship Lizzie Oakford ran on
Howland's Island, on the night of September
18th, in strong southerly gale, and became
4th, during sudden squall, followed by a
a heavy gale, and became complete wreck !;
and the splendid ship Minnehaha was lost at
Bakers Island in the same storm which des-
troyed the Washington. They were all load
ing or about to load with guano, and the loss
will fall very heavily on the owners of the
vessels as we'll as the charterers. Most Of the
crew of the unfortunate vessels arrived here
on the Idaho.

The Poor ExILE.-Says the New York
Tribune:
Judge Aldrich of South Carolina, who re-
fused to obey Gen. Canby's order allowing all
registered voters, without distinction Of color,
to sit on juries, and who was therefore re-
moved from his Office, applied to Gen. Candy
for payment Of his salary. Gen. Candy re-
lima were already sufficiently burdened with
out being obliged to pay for services never
performed. Thereupon Judge Aldrich deems
himself exiled from his native land" and
departs for the State of Georgia, with notice
that he will remain an exile so long as Gen.
Candy remains in power. You that have
tears prepare to shed them now.

TIE GEORGIA TROUBLES.

Either Jenkins will get his hacker
Andrew johnson, into trouble, or John
son will get his sub, Governor jenkins
out Of very bad scrape. The cas-
which comes up from Georgia is to b.
stated, in round terms, as follows Thu
people of that part of subjugated Dixie
acting under the high authority of law
of Congress, have resolved themselves
into a convention to reconstruct State
out of what is left after the wear and
tear of four years of Confederate "
ricissitudes. When q people resolve
upon relieving themselves of a condition
of anarchy, and organize themselves,
by regularly elected delegates into a
Constitutional Convention, the political
power of that people is nowhere if not
in that convention. Provisional Gov
crnors'' and e1temporized governments,
are of no force or validity as against the
deliberate will of such body, lawfully
assembled. In this case of the people
of Georgia, they have, through their
delegates, made a requisition upon their
comm on treasury, for certain amount
of money. They are justified in SO
doing by the law of Congress under
which they act as they would also be
ty the precedent afforded by the Georgia
State Treasurer, when he, in 1861, paid
the expenses of the Secession Couven-
ton out of the public moneys-if there
were any legitimate force in such pre-
cedect. But jenkins and the Provisional
Treasurer refused to recognize the force
of the demand for funds made by the
convention and when General Meade
got to Georgia he removed Mr.. jenkins
and the said Treasurer and put military
gentlemen in thei- places. But these
new fuuctionaries found an empty treas
ury. jenkins aud his fellow Provisional

most destructive frontier wars are directly
attributable to knavery of this description.
The character of the Government has
been belittled in the eyes of the ssvages by the
contemplate action of its agents. Their pre-
dominant motive being greed, they have not
sorupled to display injustice on the one hand
and cowardice on the other. While they have
plundered the Indians, they have sought to
conciliate them by shielding their murderous
associates from deserved punishment, and by
interposipg obstacles to the success Of the
aggressive expeditions organized by the War
Department. 1t is very desirable that in
peaceful times and peaceful places the military
power should be subordinate to civil autho-

neither be enduring peace nor effective
while the power of provoking hostilities and
Of preventing active operations is lodged in
the hands of civil agents appointed from the
ranks of the plundering politicians of the
country. General Sheridan's success in his
recent campaign is largely due to the fact that,
under temporary arrangement, he was en-
dowed with authority to oonsummate his
plans without civil interference; and if he is
permitted to finish up the task he has COM
menced, permanent peace and the rapid pro-
gress of settlement on the old Indian hunting
grounds may be confidently anticipated. The
policy he is enforcing with reference to the
hostile Indians was devised by General Sher-
man, and il is succinctly stated in the report
of the Secretary of War to be "peace within
the reservations and war without" and as
soon as the savages practically realize that
the Government is in earnest they will peace
fully submit to their inevitable destiny.

THE reduction in the tax on distilled spirits
will apparently secure increased revenues
from this source. The receipts Of July, Au-
gust, and September, 1868, amounted to
SIS, 465, ,443, or at the rate of more than
$33,OOO,OOO annually, while the receipts du-
ring the same period in 1867, when the high
tax was imposed, were only s5, 293, 92O, or at
the rate of less than $2l 700, 900 per annum.
The new system is not yet fully in operation,
and it's results cannot be ascertalned until it
has been completely tested. A significant in
dication of the extent of the production of
spirits in this country is furnished by the
statement of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue that the number of distilleries re-
gistered and reported is 1890, and although of
these only 2O4 are in operation, their aggregate
daily producing capacity is 227 1853 gallons.

The Transfer Of the Indian Bureau to
the War Department.


The prompt action of the House of Repre-
sentatives in passing a bill to transfer the
Indian Bureau from the Interior to the War
Department cannot be too highly commended.
This reform has been agitated for some years,
but the hostility of those interested in per-
petuatiDg the present system has hitherto pre-
vented its adoption. The unanimous testimony
of the leading military officers engaged in
frontier service, endorsed as it has been in the
most emphatic terms by General Grant,
can scarcely fail to secure the
concurrence of the Senate in
the action of the House, and henceforth We
may expect that short work will be made Of
troubles with the Indians The agents who
are appointed from civil life, aud responsible
only to civil authorities, have in many cases
shamefully neglected their duties aad cheated
the Indians under their charge. AtnumerOus
councils the aborigines have complained Of

have been their protectors, and some OF the

THE WHITE BANNER" is the rather high.

journal of progressive philosophy" the
publication of which has Just been commenced
in this city. This sheet processes TO be

without reference to creed, caste, or

Spiritualism is administered in sach heavy
doses that all else, especially Christianity, is
crowded out. The first page is devoted to
certain quaint specimens of doggerel poetry
and ham.strung prose, entitled "Harmonia.'
A Harmonious article on Spirituality takes
very cheerful view of the new icreligion, de.
claring that "the modern development OF spri
power is rapidly pulverizing the creeds ana
fossilzed errors of the ages. Its humantzing
hand, like magic wand, waves aside the vel

exposes the fallacies of aU d)gnas. irrespective

annihilating all 1.-The creeds and fossilized
errors of the ages" by this spirituastic process
OF pulverlzation, these errors are kindly
tolerated as 1.-THE highest conception of their
mentality" If any but disembodied spirit can
divine what that means The prevailing notion
that the ranting harangues of the so-called

condition of things within is confirmed by the
White Banner. which further says:-"Mediums
and all needing soul sympathy shall find In the
White Banner a media through which to ex
press the long pentnp thought. and thereby gain
relief and spiritual strength" Among the pro-
missed attractions in subsequent numbers of
the White Banner will be local serial romance
of"1act, spiritual phenomena and mystery"
in which the public may expect to be treated to
something OF very startling character. Still
we imagine that 1t Will take few centuries, at
the shortest, for the White Banner ana its
colaborers utterly to "pulverize" all the creeds
