The COMING CITY ELEcTIoN.-The demo-
cratic central committee have issued q call
for ward meetings next Saturday evening,
and city convention next Monday evening.
The places of meeting in the several wards
are not named, but we suppose the ward
committees will attend to that matter with
out delay, and give notice through the pa
per.
The intelligent aud prudent manner in
which the affairs of this city have been man
aged-the improvements made, and the
great reduction made in the city
Indebtedness, receives the almost univer
sal approval of the people, and it only re
quires the nomination of good and compe.
tent men, and full vote, to ensure success
But it should be remembered that the rad
zeal destrucsives are active and unscrupu
lous. They have already deprived the cit,
of all revenue from the ferry franchise
and are now determined to carry otbe,
measures which are not for the interest O
the public or the mass of our citizens
Democrats and conservatives should be aliv
to the issues, both local and national.
We also publish the republican call, 70

number of republicans take our paper VIII,

in reply, shows that high culture does
not necessarily diminish the bodily
powers Of meo, but that they gain in
physical endurance as they gain in
Intelligence, and the human brnin always
adapts itself to circumstances. II also
shows that there is no proof that high
mental cultivation generally exists in
those localities where whomen have the
least number of children, and declares
that the real cause OF their unproductive
ness is the want Of mental training, or Of
any absorbing pursuit, and protracted
effort. In other words, according TO this
writer, nothing is more beneficial for
either sex than regular occupation, and
most of the failings Of women are due to
mere idleness.

The Last Railroad Disaster.

The editor of the La Crosse Democrat
passed over the New York and Erie road
q few days prior to the late dreadful ac-
cident. In letter to the Democrat he
describes the condition of the track be-
tween Oswego and Port Jarvis as in ter
rible order" The following passage from
the letter is worth reproducing.
1.-THE rails are bent, loosened and twis-
ted as we never saw them before. The
ties teter up and down as we pass over
them, splashing mud and water in little
lets from under them as the train passes
over. The ties are rotten to great ex-
tent, and we could see the angel of death
fitting along by the side of the train as
if in doubt whether to hurl us all into the
valley to the left of us as we neared Port
Jarvis, or to wait for more victims, ours
being the Sunday train and very light
hardly worth the attention of the fell
destroyer.
ave never before rode under the
shadow of the black wing as for miles
here. 1t seemed as if death was holding
back for US to pass, cut of courtesy, and
we SO remarked to Mr.. Rankin, Of the
Chicago and Northwestern road, whom
we were glad to meet on the train, and
who rejoiced with US on arriving at even
tide, at New York, several hours later.
"If there are, this Spring, no terrible
accidents on this road, we shall think
Providence, and not the officers of the
road, will be entitled to praise, for the
road-bed is in terrible order-neglected
by the great railway kings Of New York,
who are qusrreling over the control Of
the road, while the road itself is going
to decay"
The " terrible accident has occurred,
and it is marvel that it had not oc'
Cured sooner. Yet the managers knew
the condition of the track as well as the
observant passengers. Its condition had
been accurately reported to them. They
knew it was unsafe for trains, and that
they risked the lives of thousands of
their fellow-beings in allowing them to
pass over it. They knew it was almost a
miracle that any train passed safely over
that section of She road Gin. Com.

in danger Of being warped by proposes
sions, whether well or ill-founded. A
partial Juror might decide impartially;
be might easily swear to do so the judge
might believe he would and yet the law
has hitherto held it unsafe to trust him.
With generous confidence, this new act
takes his word, and-the chances.
But we have not yet alluded TO the most
singular feature of the bill, aud the one
that most completely justifies the titlew
have given IL. Some months ago, that
supremely despicable scoundrel, Under
wood, to whose level the bench has been
brought down, and not he elevated to II,
testified before a Congressional commit
tee that, with full swing allowed him, he
could pick out a jury in Virginia, safe to
convict Jefferson Davis. Would we be
guessing wide Of the mark, if We sug-
gested tho possibility of connection
between the statute we are considering
and Judge Underwood's hint of what he
could do, if he had fair chence2 Let
us see how easily, under such law, he
could carry out his little game. The
formation or expression Of IAN opinion
it provides, upon the guilt or inno-
cence of the accused, founded upon pub
lie rumor, statements in public journals,
or the common history of the times,
shall be no valid objection to q juror;
therefore the judge may, if he
chooses, retain on the panel every
man who has formed or ex-
pressed an opinion against the pris-
oner. But" the law goes on to say,
"the court may, in its discretion, set
aside any such juror" (that is any juror
having formed or expressed an opinion);
therefore the judge may, at his pleasure,
set aside every man who has formed or
expressed any opinion favorable to the
prisoner. To illustrate: A. b., from
reading the newspapers, or from public
rumor, or from common history-some
of it is exceedingly common-has both
formed and expressed the opinion that
Jefferson Davis is a traitor, and deserves
TO suffer death; A. B., if Judge Under
wood says so, is perfectly competent to
sit on Mr. Davis trial. G. d., man of
equal intelligence and respectability,
from the same veracious sources, he's
formed an equally decided opinion that
Mr.. Davis, so far from being criminal
and deserving of death, is high toned,
chivalrous gentleman, who should now
be representing his State in the Senate
Of the United States; c. D., if Judge
Underwood says the word land he would
be mighty apt to say it), must stand
aside" Why, the process of packing
jury under this enabling act" is as
safe and simple as heads, win-tails,
you lose"
