STEAMBOAT AND RAILROAD SLAUGHTER
Another accident IL recorded to-day, in
volving death and manning to several persons
by an unexplained mishap on the Hudson
River Railroad. Coming so closely on the &c
cident on the Sound, it tends TO keep up
lively interest In the fate of absent friends
who may be compelled to travel by steam.
The facts 10 connection with the cDllision be-
tween the steamer Continental and the propel-
Ter Northampton, which we published very
fully yesterday, show that there must have
been culpable neglect Of duty on the part Of
the officers of either vessel II remains for
the proper authorities TO SEQ that the whole
matter is thoroughly investigated. 1t is not
for us to pronounce judgment or express any
opinion in advance Of the calculation of the
details. II is enough to say that an accident.
which put in imminent peril hundreds of lives
was clearly the result of carclessness and dis
regard Of the laws which define the duties Of
masters OF vessels navigating our waters. II
remains now to determine who l. to blame in
this transaction and to inniot such punishment

for five years would damp the ardor of hero
as famous as Alexander the Great. A few
weeks Incarceration in the Jail at Lawrence
burg, Indiana, had a most soothing effect
upon Mike McCoole and Joe Coburn. The

A little wholesome legislation like that in
vogue in Massachusetts, would pat the dis
graceful sport of the prize ring outside the

it now depends upon the courts of that State
to set the bright example of giving full power

The Episcopal Convention and the Pope

The Episcopal Convention and the Pope.
1t would appear that the Protestant Episco-
pal Convention entertains the idea of
addressing q letter to Plus the Ninth,
as ''Bishop Of Rome" which is now await
ing signatures at Trinity Church, with
reference to the invitation 80 generously
extended by the Holy Father to all the
under the auspices of the Ecumenical Coun-
Gil to be held in Rome next year. Anything
that savors Of harmony In these disturbed and
mixed up times is acceptable. To see the lion
lying down with the lamb would be delight
full spectacle. Why should not the American
Episcopalian Church respond to the call Of the
Roman See? The Presbyterian Church in
England has already established precedent.
Long before the Pope proposed the union Of
the Churches the London organ Of the Presby-
terians in England suggested that he, as chief
bishop Of tho Church, should issue such an in
vitation, and offered to send delegation to
Rome in response. Since the time when
Henry the Eighth changed his title Of Defensor
Fidelis to Detdmator FIdesis, joined hands with
Luther and Germany and became greater
secessionist than JET Davis, there has been no
direct communication between the outsiders
and the Papal See. But the old saw says sit
is never too late to mend" There were no
telegraphs or railroads in the days of Bluff
Harry and buffer Martin Luther. We can
make both ends meet much easier now than in
those days. The Pope proposes it. The
Presbyterians Of England suggest it. Why does
not the Episcopalian Convention Of the United
States give over its milk-and- water discus
sions about candles, censers and little boys
muslin robes, and take hold of the new idea
new at least in our day-promulgated from
Rome and suggested in London, tina. all men
can live in Christian unity, sheltered in one
fold and protected by one shepherd. If some
such sensible notion as this was entertained
by the Episcopal Convention it might accom-
plish something better for religion and morality
than the frvolitles with which its time has
been occupied.

Tho Copperhead Movement Against General
RIair.


The hue and cry raised against General
Blair by certain copperhead organs and politi-
clans is disgraceful and one of the most re-
markable phases Of the Presidential campaign.
Here is a man, with an unsullied war record,
one of the bravest of the brave in defence Of
the Union, who three months ago was hailed
with enthusiasm as the representative man OF
democracy and the candidate for the Vice
Presidency, now charged with being dead
weight and an obstacle to the party. Though
he has satisfactorily explained the Brodhead
letter and is working more vigorously than
any other man in the campaign, they want to
sacrifice him for their own blunders. 1t is not
Blair, but their own stupidity, that has ruined
their cause. Still they want to make him the
victim. fhe is in error as to the .unconstitu-
tionality Of the reconstruction acts or the power
fCongress over the rebel States they all are, for
they all stand upon that platform. The Demo
cratic Convention and the leaders Of the party
everywhere take this ground, and we think I'M
wisely, because it tends to unsettle mems
minds as to the future and leaves the door
open for future difficulties. The people
want this reconstruction business settled and
the Southern States restored; and though the
plan Of restoration has been Objectionable
they do not desire the question reopened.
Urging the unconstitutionality Of reconstruc-
ton alarms the people as to the future. 1t
carries their memories back to those old
Southern constitutional sticklers who preached
in the same strain while they were preparing
to destroy the government. The truth is, such
hair-splitting technicalities are not applicable
to the case Of the rebel States The MIlligan
case, decided by the Supreme Court, which is
SO generally appealed to by way of showing
that the military governments over the South
are unconstitutional. applied to the loyal
States in full possession of u their privileges
in the Union, but not to the rebel States.
The reconstruction policy and measures OF
Congress were unwise, vindictive, injurious to
the whole country, contrary to the spirit OF
our institutions, and, as regards negro suprem-
acy under them, positively atrocious; still
Congress had the power and chose to exercise
1t. The rebellion destroyed the former rela-
tons Of the Southern States with the Union,
and the manner Of their restoration rested
with Congress. When they are all in the
Union again they can regulate their own
domestic affairs as New York and other States
do. In the meantime it is impolitic and dan
gerous to 60 behind the action of Congress or
to agitate the question.

Massachusetts has laid its firm grip upon a
prize fighter. 1t has him in jail. The penalty
hangs over him, and, according to the statutes
Of that God-fearing and immortality hating
State, the penalty for engaging in prize fight
is fine Of five thousand dollars and five years
In the State Prison. Now, here is clean
chance for Massachusetts to set her foot down
upon the denominations Of the prize ring and
set glorious example to other States. We
are not all blessed with such stringent laws as
the State where the Pilgrim Fathers burned up
Mt the stake every one who disagreed with
them in religion and the morality of prize
fighting, therefore we cannot send modern
gladiator to the State Prison for five years.
But the laws of Massachusetts provide for this
desirable contingency. IL the court should
condemn the pugilist to pay fine of five thou
sand dollars 1t will be no punishment at ALL
because half dozen sparring exhibitions in
Boston and other pious towns would pay that
off; but the State Prison is the thing with
which ''to try the conscience Of the king OF

Tho Internal Revenue Complications

Tho Internal Revenue COmplica tiOns.
There never was such middle about any
thing before as about the internal revenue
frauds and complications. The batch of let
tiers published in the HERALD yesterday from
Solicitor Buckley, District Attorney Court
ney and Commissioner Rollins, explanatory of
the action of these individuals in the mattef;pf
the internal revenue investigations in this city,
shows the utter Generalization and inefficiency
Of the government. Instead of these officials
aiding each other to probe the stupendous
frauds that are well known to exist, they
actually defeat the object in view and play into
the hands Of the scoundrels who are robbing
the government to the amount of hundred
millions year. They could not act more
against the government which feeds them or
more in favor Of the defrauders were they paid
or bribed by the whiskey rings to defeat
the ends of justice. Buckley may be a
weak or imprudent man, and he may not have
managed the investigation properly or with
becoming courtesy to the other officers Of the
government, but he was laboring in good
cause and should have received the earnest
support of the District Attorney, the Commits
sioner and every honest man, official or un-
official. In case like that personal feeling,
etiquette or technicalites should have been lost
sight Of. The vast interests of the government
and public should have been regarded superior
to all other considerations.
There seems to be no hope Of exposing the
internal revenue frauds and protecting the gov
eminent under the present state of things.
Even the Congressional investigation commit
tee appointed specially to find out and stop the
frauds appears to stand in the way Of justice
and to whitewash the robbers. One of the
most prominent members Of that committee
has host of relatives and friends in the inter-
nal revenue service here. Though the whole
department in New York is sink Of iniquity
he can find nothing wrong. 1t is o curious
fact that whenever there is a probability Of the
frauds being exposed this so-called investiga-
ton committee Of Congress steps in to inter-
fere, and nothing is discovered. The rings
that are plundering the government and public
make money enough to buy up all the lawyers,
heads of the department, Congressional COM
mittees and even Congress ITSELF The whole
system of internal revenue wants remodelling
and simplifying, with such checks and balances
in the management that frauds to any extent
will be impossible. This should be one Of the
first things to which Congress should turn It's
attention. Until the system be remodelled and
responsibility for its management be placed
with the proper authority there is no hope Of
the frauds being discovered or prevented.
