A JURr REBUKKD.-After the
acquistal Of Griffin. the engineer on
the Erie Railroad, through whose
sareIessuess the horrible Mast Hope
disaster, last July, was Occasioned,
the Judge before whom he was tried
administered the following terrible
rebuke to the jury: 'a-t
GESrLEHnss You last night returned
into court, after bearing Of two days,
with verdict Of not guilty in the case
Of the Commonwealth against James
Griffin. This was not expected, and
your verdict was against law, against
justice, and an Outrage agaiust human-
ity. You violated the obligations Of
your oath-a plain, simple obligation to
render a verdict according to the evi,
deuce. Instead Of that, you have ren.
dered a verdict against every particle
Of evidence. The cause Of the defend.
ant was abandoned by bis counsel.
Drowning men will catch at straws.
The theory for the defense is unknown
to the law, and the counsel for the de-
fendant did not believe it themselves.
| was, and still am, sstonished at your
verdict. l am astonished that you
should in this way set aside the law and
violate your oaths; and trust that the
spirits of the dead, dying, bleeding and
burnt victims of Mast Hope will rebuke
you as long as you live. We have no
power to cure the great wrong which
you have inflicted on the community.
In future, | hope you will feel proper
regard for your oaths. You are now
discharged from any further duty in this
court. You are not ft to sit as jury.

THE WAY OF THE WoRLD.-So
lately dead so soon forgotten! IT'S
the way of the world Men take us
by the hand, and are. anxious about
the health of our bodies, and laugh
at our Jokes, and we really think,
like the fly on the wheel, that we
have something to do with the turn
ing of the earth. Some day we die
and are buried. The sun does not
stav for our funeral; everything
goes on as usual we are not missed
On the street ; men laugh at jokes
one or two hearts feel the wounds of
affection one or two memories hold
our names and forms; but the-eFowd
moves in the daily circle, and IN
three days the great wave of time
sweeps over our daily steps and
washes out the last vestige of our
lives.

PROGRESS OF RAILROADS. Forty
three years ago The first train of cars
commenced running between Darling
ton and Stockton. Thirty>eight years
ago the Manchester and Liverpool
line came into operation. Before
1S45 the principal lines iu England
we're successful, paying 10 to Is per
cent. and shares selling at 100 per
cent. premium. In 1S45,6-7 Par
lament authorized the construction
of 1898 miles in addition to what
was already authorized-2,l4S miles.
France, at first slow in her railroad
operations, had in 1851 2,l24 miles
opened against SS9 in Great Britian.
In the United States in 1880 there
were forty-one miles; and in 1865 3d.
1S9 miles, not including those in
Kansas, Nebraska, and the Pacific
Coast. Of these 24,8S3 miles were
in the Northern States. In Europe
India, and the United States there
are now in operation S2,495 miles.

a s:rcnt Raid Oh Illicit WG.tskcy Stills
-, Ern,,IIsy.H-.. HEAVY Seizures.

\ Drict account was given yesterday OF Il
great raid on Illicit whSkey stills in the fifth
ward Of Brooklyn, y. Y. on Tuesday. The
following additional particulars are from the
New York Post:
For Il long time past the internal revenue
authorities have seized quantities Of Illicit
Wii,kcy in transit, which was finally traced
Il, having come from Il nest Ct Illicit stills
>lt&tcd i'll Dickinson alley, a narrow lane
ne,r the nayy-yard, extending from Pros
pcct 10 York streets. Orders We're issued TO
Collector HIca>anton. Of the fourth district,
10 investigate the matter, and, If the state
ncnts were found correct, To seize the stills.
Several raids have been made on this section
during The past three or four years, and 4
large amount of illicit Whi~kcy and other
property has rewarded the trouble taken in
each c;lSc The ncighhOrhood is bad, and
on one or two occasions the revenue officers
have not only been repused but III one in
stance ii was found necessary TO call out the
marines 1T the nayy-yard to protect the OIL
GERS.
With these fact before linn, General
plcaSanton gave orders TO his subordlnatcs
not TO undertake the movement unless II
sufficient force could be obtained to success
fully cope with the rllitians who were known
- be largely engaged in the Illicit trade.
ne Ibltt, W men W ~ IlliNJl tli'
Of Deputy Collector Willard and Inspect
or, Thompson, Tate, Parkinson, and Coo
nry, consisted OF picked squad OF seventy
men, fully armed.
The party went to The navy-yard III
revenue cutter, and Immediately dcbarkcd
and marched in Il body upon the alley. Ihey
were met by Il crowd of men, who attempt
ed 10 impede their movements, but, lln0mS
that the officers were determined, they fell
back for the purpose Of organizing Tor
midable resistance.
The revenue officers found themselves
surrounded on all sides 3D. by Illicit stills.
Nine Of them were completely broken up,
and six were removed intact to the Brooklyn
navy-yard, together with twelve barrels of
whiskey. The captured stills are worth
about five hundtcd dollars each, and the
property destroyed on the spot is thought
to be worth, in the aggregate, six or seven
thousand dollars.
The officers broke down all fences that
inpcded their retreat, and reached the
nAyy-vard III safety with the captured pro-
perry. The ruiiiunS OF the neighborhood
were organizing themselves TO attack the
officers, when Captains Wogloms and ia
cOhs, Of the police, appeared on the scene
with strong force and covered the retreat
Of the revenue officers. 1t is said that an
average Of one hundred barrels OF Illicit
whiSkey has been manufactured ana re-
moved from this neighborhood daily for
long time past.
