The LIVERPOOL Docks The splendid works CT
masonry at Liverpool for the protection of ship
ping, never fail to excite the admiration Of the
American tourist. A recent visitor says
"To attract and accommodate the commerce of
the world, these splendid works were conceived.
They are bnili III the water, AID the walls, taking
up large part OF the front Of the Mersey, upon
which Liverpool stands, enclose the river at high
tide. When their gates are shut down they hold
the vessels that have got inside at high water
mark, even when the tide has fallen TO its lowest
ebb Upon the ground thus recovered from the
water, by the walls Of th, Sc tremendous docks,
stand rows and rows Of immense warehouses. As
we steamed along the Mersey, Liverpool looked
good deal like Philadelphia, on the Delaware
bnt the shipping in the docks seemed to lie an
chored almost in the heart Of the city. There are
ten miles Of these docks-seven miles on The I.iv-
erpaol and three on the Brikenhead side Of the
Mersey. They cost more than one hundred mill
lions Of dollars. From this statement you can
form some idea of the magnitude of the commerce
of this great port. They are built as if they were
intended to endure as long as the pyramids

THE PURPOSE OF CONGRESS.

The Fortieth Congress is evidently at work
preparing the way for Grant, and legislating
with such due precauticn as not on the one
hand to excite his jealousy or incur his hos
tility, whilst on the other they intend to use
the wisps of Delilah as that he shall be shorn
of all real strength, should he at any time
become refractory in Radical harness.
1t is plain, as We are told by the New York
Uor1d'S Washington correspondent, that the
double desire to please and to guard Grant
Influences all measures offered OF likely to be
offered. For instance, Georgia is to be re-
cast, Virginia to be put in the moalds of in
coptive Statehood, Texas and Mississippi
are to be stimulated into speedy rcorganiza-
ton. The Southern question is to be so fixed
this session as to require from the new ad-
mlnistratiOn only the execution of such acts
of the Forteth Congress as the Forty>frst
Congress will not repeal. Nothing is to be
left to the option Of the next Exccutivc.-
The laws arc to be literally obvious and nm
mistakablc. The possibility of fairness or
humanity in their execution is to be prevent.
cd in advance. The Congress is to fix the
future beyond contingency, if may be- The
motives TO this exactDcss and thoroughncss
proceed from the fact that this Congress has
the requisite two,thirds to override u veto,
and the next will not, as well as from the
consideration that the present body take a
pride in imPressins as much of their policy
and acts as possible upon the future. Hence,
most of their propositions are prospective, as
will be seen. The purged and purified Leg
islaturo of Georgia is to meet next April, in
Atlanta. The election in Virginia is to be
held in May. Any laws toward the speed
Ter reconstruction of Texas and Mississippi,
will be ordered to take practical effect next
summer. Messrs. Edmunds and Broomall,
in the Senate and House, respectfully pro-

is IT TRuE2

The ST. Louis Times is credited with tho
report that General Grant, when in that city
last. intimated to friend his intention to offer
General Lee seat in his Cabinet. We are
inclined to the opinion that it is nothing more
than report, but if it should prove true,
there are many who will be agreeably disaP-
pointed in the policy of the President elect,
and many more who will be son the contrary
quite the reverse"
Such an act, if Grant have the magnanim-
ity to perform it, would do more to heal the
wounds made by the late fratricidal war than
all the enactments of Radical Congress
from now till the crack of doom. 1t would
prove that Grants aspirations for ''peaee"
were sincere, and that he at least was resolved
on having, not merely Union in name but
fact.

pose to declare now that the bonds, &c, to
be paid hereafter, shall be paid in coin.
Undoubtedly, too, some amendment pro-
posing universal manhood suffrage will be
pushed through the Republican Congress and
the Republican Legislatures this winter, of
which the effect will tell in all subsequent
elections. The naturalization of foreigners
for the future is to be castrated of its tradi-
tional simplicity this session. Thus the de-
sign of these and similar propositions is sOwn
to-day what must spring up tomorrow. The
next administration will be met on the thresh-
old with a programme of proceedings cut
and dried by a Legislature, which will have
then ceased to be- Nothing is to be kept to
be done hg the Forty>frst Congress which
can be done by the Fortieth

Accident on the North Central Railway

Twelve miles from Harrisburg, on the
North Central railroad, leading from Bati-
more, on Monday night. the engine Lady
Washington was standing on the track and
the cngineman was looking at his watch, when
the north ward train rap around the curve
TO avoid collision then was impossible, and
the cngincman and fireman both jumped from
the train. The fireman of the Lady Wash
ingtou was instantly killed, and that engine
was crushed. At the moment OF tile collision
the boiler exploded, and only fragments of
iron and brass could be afterwards found,
though with them the ice in the river was
literally strewed. The smoke stack was thrown
to distance Of one hundred yards into the
river and the tender, a crushed and shapeless
mass, was thrown down the bank and into the
river. The train northward consisted of the
locomotive and tender, three express cars, and
several passenger cars. The locomotive was
broken to pieces; the express cars, which
were laden with oysters for the West, were
destroyed /; one passenger car was broken to
pieces and several others crushed and run into
each other. How many were killed and
wounded could not be definitely ascertaincd
last night, but the number was said to be
thirty-fve. The scene is said to have been
appalling, and for some time there was but
little assistance, as the point where the catas-
trophe occurred is only water station, and
there arc very few Indications around. The
damage to tho company will probably be
between twenty thousand and thirty thousand

= Since the recent dreadful calamity on
the Ohio river, which resulted in the loss of
SO many lives by the burning of petroleum on
board the steamer United States, bill is
likely to pass Congress preventing that in
fameable substance from being conveyed on
passenger vessels. Had it not been for the
presence of the oil very few lives would have
been lost The most frightful phase of that
shocking scene was that in which men women
and children are described as perishing in a
of fire, and filing the air with their shreks.
The burning oil as it flowed from the decks
of the vessel, covered the surface of the water
in which those unfortunate creatures were al
ready struggling. Among those lost were
two distinguished Episcopal divines, the Rev.
Mr.. Parvin, Secretary of the Evangclic Ed
ucational Society. and the Secretary of the
Church Missionary Society, of N. York
Ole Bal, the famous Swedish violinist escaped
by swimming ashore. Among those lost were
Mr., George Hutchens and his wife, partc-
ular friends of Ex. President Pierce, who it is
said, was very near accompanying them on
their fatal trip.
- General George H. Thomas has insisted
that the resolution passed at Chicago by the
representatives of the army he led, in favor
ofplacing his statue among those that are to
surround the base of the proposed Lincoln
monument at Washington, should be expun-
ged from the records.

boots, OF the fashion familiar to US in Ho~

with box-toes, Of the style now in vogue again

mode repeat itself The heels have holes
bored Tor skates, showing that his Lordship
neglected no form of outdoor exercise The
rude and heavy spurs are still attached The
loot OF the owner must have been very small,
though he was tall man. Mr.. e. w. Massey,

lies extant of the brave old Seigueur of the
