and that, considering the bad condition OF the
track, as proven by the evidence, this rate OF
speed was altogether too fast This is an Opt :
ion which many unfortunate people took with
them into eternity, if any consciousness OF
worldly events passes the portals of the grave,
and which many poor, manned and bereaved
wretches will entertain to their dying day; but
it is not satisfactory verdict for jury
to lay before the country as palliative for
heartless bloodshed. 1t is unfortunate that the
jury in this case should have been selected from
community living on the line of the railway,
and thus, by implication, identified more or
less with its interests. The verdict is in fact,
an apology for the Erie Railway Company, and
perhaps nothing else could have been expected
under the circumstances.

dastardly attempt upon His life has excited al
much Indignation and sorrow in those provinces

majority he was created Duke of ndinburg, and

investigation of the means available for it's

The Fourteenth Article.

The republicans of Congress hold that
the constitutional amendment, upon which
they swept the country in the State
elections Of 1866, known as article four
teen, has been duly ratified by the neces-
sary three-fourths Of the States represented
in the general government. In each house,
we believe, the subject is in the hands
of the Judiciary Committee, with authority to
report the ratification. The present Secretary
of State. Mr.. Seward, has not proclaimed the
ratification, because he holds. with President
johnson, that the endorsement of three-fourths
of all the States inside and outside of Congress
is necessary. With Mr.. Wade In Mr..
Johnson's place. however. we shall doubtless
have Secretary of State of Mr.. Wade's way
OF thinking on this amendment, and conse-
quenty under a Secretary Of this sort. we
shall have the right 10 look for his proclama-
ton OF the ratification Of this fourteenth article,
making it, TO al ntents and purposes. part and
parcel Of the constitution of the United States.
But here is the difficulty This amendment.
among other things provides that each State
for itself shall regulate The law of ihe elective
franchise, subject to this condition; that in pro-
portion to the exclusion of apy portion Of the
people from the suffrage on account of race,
color, &c, the enumeration Of the people for
representation in Congress shall be correspond
| ingly reduced This knocks universal negro
suffrage on the head. North and South: and 90

ratified amendment He cannot shirk il with

not meet It without knocking the bottom ont Of

ternal pressure shall be brought to bear upon
it. In due course of time, when all the ma
lignant conflicting influences at work In Mexico
shall have mutually annihilated each other,
new generation Of Mexicans will gladly well
come from the great neighboring republic the
advent of fresh elements of civilization, power
and prosperity. "After us the deluge" seems
to be the present motto of the Mexican revo-
lutionary leaders; and after deluge that shall

The Revival Of Indian Troubles In the
West.

West.
We published on Thursday special Omaha
despatch to the st. Louis Democrat asserting
Indian goods are suppressing authentic reports
of Indian troubles in the West. The same
despatch details number of atrocities COM
mitted by the Indians. Without repeating these
shocking details, it will suffice to say that they
presage terrible revival of the intermittent
Indian war which has already exhausted 80
much treasure and so many lives. On Wednes-
day the Secretary of the Interior sent to the
House of Representatives a communication
from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
expressing his apprehensions that unless imme-
diate action is taken by Congress upon the esti-
mates referred to in the Office reports Of the
Goth and 2lst of February last, as requisite in
order that the faith of the government and the
promises of the Indian Peace Commissioners
be kept good, renewal of the troubles of last
summer must be expected. The Commissioner
adds that the result of failure to redeem
these promises will be an almost s'endless war.
which will cost millions Of dollars to suppress,
and to avoid which thousands only are asked"
He says moreover Eff we are to have
another Indian war this SKINNER do not wish
the country at large to think it was caused
or brought about by the management of affairs
in this office; and after the urgent requests
that have been made for funds and the state
ments that have been made in regard to the
matter this bureau certainly cannot be held
responsible for any acts of hostility or depre-
dation that may be committed by the Indians"
The probability of such acts is evidently antici-
pated by the bureau. I
1t surely behooves Congress to give immedi-
Indian Affairs. Why should not the Commit
tee on Indian Affairs at once consult with
General Sherman, who was one of the Peace
Commissioners last year, as to the appropiia-
tions requisite and the measures to be adopted
to prevent 80 horrible calamity as q
revival of the Indian troubles in the West? It
is manifest that Kaufmanns fine picture repre-
senting the attempts of Indians to tear up the
rails of the great Pacific Railroad is actually
as well as artistically true westward the
course of empire takes its way" but the
Indian, ignorant as he is of the irresistible
forces of manifest destiny against which he
contends, is not so ignorant as to be unaware
that the railroad, with it's train of civilizing
Influences, will drive away the game on which
he subsists and cover the Plains with q thriving
white population which will overwhelm and
annhilate him. Hence his fierce opposition to
tho onword march of civiizatiOn Rut Arm
and prompt measures must at once be decided
upon by Congress to put an end to the unavail-
ing but annoying resistance Of the savage
Indians to the progress Of civilization. Either
war of determination must be vigorously
waged against them or treaties must be made
and enforced which will secure their removal
to hunting grounds beyond the reach of white
intruders, with the steam engine and other
adjuncts Of civilization.

The Attempted Assassination Of Prince


The attempted assassination Of the most
popular member Of The royal family of England,
during his visit TO Australia, has naturally
thrown the British nation into state OF great
excitement, especially as the would-be assassin
il said to be connected with the Fenian organi-
ration. II appears that his Royal Highness
was shot in the back on the 18th Of March at
Sydney by an Irishmau named Farrell, and
that although the ball was not extracted from
the wound until two days afterwards, yet there
were well grounded hopes Of bis ultimate re-
covery. The wounded prince was conveyed on
hoard of his frigatc, and, in compliance with
the advice of his physician, sailed for England.
Prince Alfred il about twenty -four years OF age
and has always been considered the highest
ornament OF Queen victoria's family, being ac-
credited with far more intelligence, generous
impulses and good sense than his elder brother,
the heir apparent TO the throne Of England.
His ''eailor boy spirit and of-hand manners--
hebeing devoted to the navy from his boyhood-
also made him general favorite. He was
raised 10 the rank Of captain in the royal navy
and placed in command Of the steam frigate
Galatea, In which he started on his present
cruise. The details of this cruise ore very in
teresting. His visit to Rio Janeiro and grand
reception by the Emperor Of Brazil are fresh in
the recolections Of our readers. AT the Cape
Of Good Hope he made short stay and went
on an elephant hunt, during which he had the
qualification Of ''bagging" some game Of this
description His reception in Australia and
New Zealand has been cordial and enthusiastic

The Port Jervis Jury On the Railroad
Disaster.

The verdict Of the coroner's jury in the case
OF one of the victims Of the Erie Railway dis
astcr near Port Jervis conveys no censure of
the company or lie officials, though surely some
culpabiiiy must attach somewhere for this
fearful slaughter. The jury simply expresses
an opinion that the train was running at the
rate Of thirty miles an hour round those dan
gerous curves in the valley OF the Delaware.

much attention, and nearly every club had a
cheer for the "second and third n ioor,'' while an
occasional groan was given for the first floor
Many Roman candles were also fired from the
upper windows of the house, and the affair
elected so much enthusiasm that the landlord
