DIR. Boynton on the Giant.

DR.. Boynton, a geologist, gives the first
report that sounds like the opinion Of q man in
any way an expert on the giant in gypsum
recently unearthed near Syracuse. AS the
subject has no relation whatever to geology,
perhaps geologist is as ft person as any
other to give fair opinion. The Doctor
observes that the giant is cut from that loose
sulphate of lime that when ground is called
plaster of Paris, and notes that this material
abounds 10 the neighborhood. Thence he
infers that the statue was cut in that district.
No doubt this is an argument that the subject
of discussion was not brought to the place
from far; but is it an argument that 1t was cut?
Who could cut statue from material so little
tenacious that Its own weight might tumble ID
to pieces? And is 1t not obvious that an
object petrifed in that neighborhood would
partake of the character of the mineral abound
ing there, from the very fact that all the per-
collation. and all the running water would be
charged with that material? Is there in SYRIA
cusc any moulder of plaster casts for over
grown statuaryp One Of those gentlemen OF
Italian origin might give better opinion Of
this giant than geologist. Let the people
who own the giant keep up the excitement and
increase the price of admission.

Western River improvements.

A river Improvement convention has just
been held at Portage City, Wis.,, at which the
subject was discussed of opening canal com
munication between the Mississippi and the
lakes by way of the Wisconsin and Fox rivers,
which, 1t is estimated, can be done at cost OF
four millions. The object is to enable the
Mississippi steamboats, to carry the heavy pro-
ducts of the Northwest directly to the lakes and
there transship them The project appears to be
practicable, and although if carried out it may
injure the Erie Canal business somewhat, 1t is
not Objectionable for one reason, because by
turning the trade of the Northwest into the
great channel Of the St. Lawrence 1t will give
new impetus to the annexation of Canada.
When the river st. Lawrence comes to be the
outlet of our Western productions the territory
through which it runs must very soon become
portion of our domain.
The project also seems quite practicable; but
then the convention made mistake when IL
looked to the general government for aid. The
government is already too heavily burdened
with debt, and this is not time to ask for any
assistance for measures like this. Such is the
opinion already expressed by President Grant.
Moreover, if there be any good in the pro-
posed enterprise it will accrue to the States
which havessuggested it, and surely they have
abundant means at their command to carry il
through. At least four States of the North
west will be directly benefited by the success
of the plan-Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Min
nesota-to say nothing of the States on the
banks of the Mississippi further south. Good
helps those who help themselves" is good old
Greek proverb. Let the young and vigorous
Northwest take this matter in their own hands,
and there is no reason to believe that they will
not succeed. The government has done enough
for public enterprise in pushing the Pacific
Railroad through to our far western boun-
daries.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1869-10-23
Railroad Conventions.

There appears to be remarkable stir among
the railroad men just now. 1t is not the stock
holders nor the directors who are engaged in
the present movement, but the employees of the
roads. In Baltimore convention of locomo-
tive engineers is in session: a railroad con-
ductors' convention is sitting in Columbus,
Ohio, and in Philadelphia meeting of rail-
road clerks for the purpose of forming mutual
insurance association. At this meeting it was
April. Representatives. from nearly all the prin-
cipal railroads in the United States were present
at these several meetings, showing that unity
of purpose exists among the different
branches of employed labor, engineers, con-
ductors and clerks. The railroad interest
throughout the country has become very
potent one. There is no element in our pro-
gress which exercises more power in regu-
lating the amount Of comfort and convenience
which the people expect to enjoy; for every
one travels in our day, and the safety of the
traveller is in the hands of the railroad compa-
MES. Hence the management of the railroads
becomes vital question. That gross careless
ness and Indifference to human life are in many
cases the rule there are numerous ag0nizing
examples to prove. We do not observe that
this question has occupied much attention in
the meetings referred to, except among the en-
gineers, who recommended the excellent rule
that total abstinence from intoxicating drinks
should be observed by their order, recognize
ing thereby that some of the disastrous acct
dents on railroads occur from the spirituous
condition of the engineer.
Referring to the Mast Hope calamity on the
Erie road, they decreed that the accident
occurred because the engineer had been run
ming two successive nights without sleep, and
was unable to resist the tendency to sleep to
which he succumbed. Who is responsible for
this except the managers of the road who
enforce such excessive labor from their
employees? 1t is the old story in railroad
management, of economy versus human life.
If this be true-and no doubt these engineers
know what they are talking about--it would
seem that it is not the unfortunate engineer
who is in fault, but the directors or the super
intendent who imposed this severe duty upon
him. The time has evidently come when
Congress must take this great growing rail-
road power under its direction. 1t is author
lied to do so by the right vested in it to regu-
late commerce not only with foreign States,
but between the States of the Union. The
telegraph system and the railroads must
eventually come under the control of the
government if the people are to derive the
benefits accrning from them-danger to life and
limb on the one hand and fraudulent imposi-
ton on the other.

BUTLER AND THE NEWSPAPERS. General
Butler never neglects the great main point Of
sskeeping himself before the people, and as
he always comes out to some purpose and
gratifes popular taste by some exhibition Of
intellectual brilliancy, whether 1t be in only
telling a little story of his personal history or
in conchinc a supertluous lance in the Byron
controversy, he is always heard from with
pleasure. His last point for the public is made
in little note in which he deprecates the
amount OF attention that the reporters give
him. He says that If he noticed all the stories
they tell he could hare no tine for "any
reputable employment" We are sorry tc hear
this, for we cannot remember anything ever
said in the papers about the General upon
which he has not bestowed some notice Of
just this sort, aud, therefore, we are afraid
that the time he devotes to reputable employ
mcnt" Is less than Is proper for a gentleman Of
his accomplishments.

have the glory of our greatest soldier; but
statesman. Grant, we doubt not, will have
the record of good administration but
Chase will have the record of great leader
and long experience in our public affairs, ald
in greater variety of responsible positions
than Grant. If We point to the splendid vc-
tories of Grant over the rebellion, 1t may be
said they were due first of all to the sinsws
of war supplied from fhe Treasury by the Wis
dom of Chase. The Parliament Of Great
Britain gave Wellington the credit of the OYER
throw of the first Napoleon, but Napoeon
himself said he was overthrown by the money
bags, or, in other words, by the Bank of Eng
land.
And yet again, if it is said of Grant that to
him belongs the honor of establishing universal
negro suffrage, it can be said of Chase that he
was among the most active advocates of the
negro's rights when Grant was learning the
art of horsemanship at West Point. If it shall
be urged that to Grant devolved the task of
finishing the work of Southern reconstruction,
it may be urged, too, that had not Chase been
faithful to the great cause he might in the
Supreme Court have thrown all this business
into endless confusion. Thus it will be seen
that with Chase against Grant the democracy
will have candidate who, upon his personal
merits, qualifications, experience, character
and public services, will be able to stand in the
front rank, side by side with his great COM
pettor, and competent to challenge a COM
parison.
There will, however, be no contest upon
the personal merits and services Of the two
candidates If they are Grant and Chase.
They will each be perfectly satisfactory,
aud both will be regarded as perfectly safe
touching the national faith, the national
honor and an honest and capable admin
istration Old things will be done away
with, and all things will become new. Conse-
quently, with Chase as their candidate, the
democracy, placed in full rapport with the new
dispensation as established in the constitu-
ton, will only have to fight the FLANDERS Of
Congress on the great questions Of the day,
and here they may have advantages which,
with the recovery on the new tack of the
Southern balance Of power, may give them the
victory Who can tell?

Earthquake Shocks in New England.

The mysterious commissions of tho earth
which have during the past year spread de-
structon and fear over various parts OF this
Continent, beginning in Teru and extending to
California, have spread further east. Else
where we publish the story Of earthquake
shocks experienced throughout New England at
an early hour yesterday morning. Happily, so
far as we can ascertain, the phenomenon was
unaccompanied by those terrible scenes which
have marked its visitations of other parts of
the globe. In some places, however, the
oscillation of the earth was violent, and
half minute at any one point they were
severe enough to frighten the pious Puritans
almost out of their wits Buildings shook to
their foundations, doors and windows ratified,
bells rang mysteriously and furniture danced
about the apartments with as much lveliness
and activity as if it had been set in motion
by a first class spiritual medium, as doubtless
it was. though not of the order Of Yankee
Spirtualists.

no little CONSERVATION. And aside from all
purely scientific speculations as to cause and
effect, theories for which are most abundant
and most unsatisfactory, is it not sub
ject for special remark and for grave
consideration, that the elements which plunge
our good Old Mother earth into such
occasional fits Of ague should have Sc
lected, at this particular time, New Eng
land for the scene of their convulsive
manifestations? Need we feel surprise that,
conscious of their innumerable sins, the people
of Massachusetts quaked worse than the
earthquake lest it should hurl them into the
great hereafter, with their manifold crimes
unexpiated, utterly destroying Boston, the
Bunker Hill Monument and Faneuil Hall? We
solemnly adjure New England to put on sack
cloth and ashes, for who knows but that the
earthquake Of yesterday was sent to shake the
descendants of the Puritans into proper ap-
probation of their enormities, and to warn
them Of impending humiliation And, being
| aware of the weakness of our Eastern friends,
| we beg them not to fatter themselves with the
| idea that in allowing their soil to quake nature
| designed to favor them especially.

A REooNoIIIATIoN-It Is rumored that
Francis Joseph, the Emperor Of Austria, and
Victor Emanuel, the King of Italy, are likely,
on an early day, to have an interview. This
means that Solferino and Magenta are about
to be forgiven, If not forgotten. 1t is fact
that the Crown Prince of Prussia has arrived
in Vienna and that he has been warmly re-
ceived by Francis Joseph. This is proof posi-
tive that Sadowa is forgiven, If not forgotten.
All this is well. It proves that the monarchs
Of Europe begin to understand the nineteenth
century We cannot have wars on dead
issues. Let the dead past bury it's dead. 1t
is best TO live in and with the living present.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF WITNESSES. Upon
attempting to try the men accused in the case
Of the recent murder of revenue officer at
Philadelphia it was found that all the witnesses
against them had disappeared. This is now
the efficient means Of defeating justice, and is
resorted to by criminals of every grade in all
our cities. If witnesses are not killed they are
paid to go away and the price Of impunity in
committing any offence is represented by the
amount for which witness can be induced to
leave. Some legislation on this subject is
necessary. Although the House of Detention
system is open to much objection, 1t is ulti
mately true that society is more concerned in
the punishment Of crime than in the conve-
nience Of individuals, and we must enforce
that system If no better can be found.
