RAILROADS AND THEIR LA
BILITIES.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
1t is stated by a writer for your paper
over the signature of Taxpayer" that
the stockholders in the ''defaulting" rail
road companies have invested many mil
lions in constructing their railroads. This
is substantially the statement. Would it
not be well, therefore, for the members
of the Legislature to inquire into this
matter, and to see whose money was thus
invested; whether it was the money of
the stockholders or of the State? have
an impression that more bonds of the
State were issued to many of these COM
panies than the construction of the roads
cost. How is thisl viii some one see
how it isl Have not the roads cost the
State, in bonds, four times their cost to
the stockholders Sympathy is all right in
a proper case-but in this case, should it
not be for the State and its taxpayers z

Nav YORK, Dec. 19.-The Tribune
publishes a reply from Greeley 10 Gen.
Buffers response to his former letter on
universal amnesty and universal suffrage.
The Rule of Three Inverse.
Referring to Gen. Buffers opinion that
some half dozen, more or less, of Con-
federates should have suffered as exam
pies of punishment, MIR. Greeley says,
When five more years of peace shall
have interviewed, am quite confident you
viii consider that two or three examples
would have been enough.
A Hit, My Lord a PaIPable Hit.
And after the lapse of five more years
you viii be satisfied that to have strung
up in 1865 him who was your choice for
President in 1860, would have answered
the purpose.
Pride GOeth before Destruction.
He refers to many historical precedents
TO show that seventies after a war do not
serve to save or perpetuate power. In
short, he says, there be one lesson written
all over the face of history. 1t seems to
me that pride goeth before destruction /;
that the conqueror in a civil feud, who
has glutted his vengeance, stands often
very near his final fall.
Tennessee and Mississippi.
He cites Tennessee and the overthrow
of the Republican party there as an in
stance of the legitimate fruits of pro-
scriptive policy of sweeping disfranchise-
ment and prosecution as leading inevitably
to such disasters. In Mississippi the
defeat of Dent he regards as yindicatiOn
of the more liberal policy.
Hopes TO Undo the Work of IN Life
times
In conclusion he expresses his conf
dence that as passions cool and wrath abates
thousands who have cursed will thank
him forwhat he has done and dared in re-
sistance to their own sanguinary impulses,
and joyfully trusts that this will become at
last the common faith, and eventually that
of Gen. Butler himself.

Two adjoining caves have been discOv-
cred near Dubuque, Iowa, on the Maquo-
keta. The larger is over one thousand
two hundred feet in length, and the
smaller one six hundred feet, the two
being separated from each other by an
east and west bar, about sixty feet in
thickness. A large force is at work pros
pecting them for minerals, large quaint
ties of lead having already been taken
from the smaller one. That these caves
lead on to a continuation of others, is in
Dictated by the fact that current of all
puts in from the west so strong that work
cannot be prosecuted without stopping up
the opening. This volume of air is per.
fectly pure, and comes in with a rushing
roaring noise, resembling the rumble OF
distant thunder. Another Mammoth
Cave is suggested as not improbable.

SOME of the astronomers who are OBJ
serving the sun say that there is at pres
ent an unusual display of solar spots. The
largest of these measures Onc-twenty-
eighth of the suns diameter, and is stu
ated north of the suns equator. 1t con
sists of an irregularly-shaped umbra or
central black spot, the edges ragged, or
sharply and uneyenly serrated. The pc
numbra is large, following somewhat the
shape of the umbra, but more rounded IN
general outline. The edge differs from
that of the umbra in being wavy instead
of serrated. To the right it stretches out
in a curve, broken, undecided, and with
darker spots scattered through it. On the
left are several small, indistinct spots.
Perceptible changes have been noticed in
few hours.

fOrnia 143, 600, and in other states similar
proportions. In Massachusetts, on the

ALCOHOLIC RHEUMATISM has been dis
covered and defined in London. 1t is a
complaint resulting from the too general
use of alcoholic beverages; the marked
effect is slow and rarely ever developed
except after middle life; it causes stu
pidity, stiffness in the body, hobbling
gait, and ultimate lameness and palsy.
The cure lies mainly in gradual and then
total abstinence from the use of all fer
mented alcoholic drinks, and taking Wig
orous exercise in the open air.
