FILTHY ACCIDENTS.

The collision on the Pennsylvania and New
York Railroad on Monday seems, prima facie,
to have been the result of gross mismanage-
ment. In consequence of fog the engineer
of an express train was unable to see signal
flag sent out to warn him that there was an
other train taking in water on the track, ana
80 there was collision with the loss of two
lives, and serious injury to several passengers
Collisions at sea in fog may sometimes be
unavoidable, but that the safety of railway
trains should depend upon clear weather Is
monstrOus. All danger from such causes as
produced this latest accident might be avoided
by an adoption of the "block system" which
works so we'll on English railways, and an
extensive use of the telegraph for insuring q
clear course. No interval of time, be 1t five
minutes or one hour, affords a sufficient mar
gin of safety in shunting local or freight
trains, which are themselves liable to detention
or accident, out of the way of express trains,
which may or may not be late. There seems
to he a natural warfare between freight and
passenger trains which nothing but an interval
of space can obviate. On some of the lines OF
railway running out of London, trains follow
one another i'll quick succession at half mile,
not half hour, intervals under the block
system, from years end to years end without
the slightest accident. III an express train can
not pass beyond station No. / till the telegraph
reports that the line is clear as far as station
No 9, and if no local or freight train is allowed
to move from siding, or cross from any june
ton, between these two stations till the tee-
graph reports that the express train has left
station No. 2, it is patent that no accident can
occur except from the negligence Of the officials,
or from unavoidable causes
The causes of preyentable railway accidents
are so Numerous and so terrible in their con-
sequences that travellers can only insure their
lives heavily, and shut their eyes during the
journey. Nervous people had far better re-
main at home. Defective construction of the
track, failure to keep it in proper working
order, want of signals, neglect of signals, the
Overworking of sgnalmen, the leaving of
empty cars on the main track, inadequate
siding accommodation, the careless way in
which freight trains are allowed to perform
kind of Scotch reel in and out among express
trains travelling at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, and above all the neglect of the block
system, are elements of danger enough to war
rant the Life Insurance offices in refusing poll
icies to habitual railway travellers. If fog is
now to be added to the other perils of the
way, we may as well resign ourselves to
wholesale destruction.

The old Bourbon party, which learns nothing
and forgets nothing, makes its periodical muster
at Syracuse the occasion for reiteratng all its
old hereses. which the people have time and
again stamped with their Reproduction, and at
the same time purposes, if we may judge from
appearances, indulging in several comfortable
little family fights, which the tact of Mr.
Sweeney cannot entirely smother. The oppos-
ing factions of Tweed and Tilden have met.
and Tweed has been OverthrOwn. Speak
ing in a large, general sense, the Illden
and Tweed wings of the Democracy
may DO said to represent respectively the
bloated- bondholders and the bloated brandy
bibbers; but in the present disagreement there
is no such great principle involved as this dis
tnction would indicate, the point at issue
being nothing but quarrel between Tammany
and the country districts for the possession OF
the spois. No doubt it is time for the country
to have its turn; but if Tweed had the plumber
he could buy more votes with it in year than
the country managers, with the best disposition
in the world, could buy in a decade.

When we read in history of some unmiti'
gated and inexplicable middle-age horror. we
are apt to shake our heads and. for the honor
of human nature, become skcptical. We re-
fuse to believe in Blue Beard; we have his
toric doubts about Richard the Third. Yet
sometimes we meet with an incident happen
ing in our own day and generation which en-
larges our views of the capacity of mankind
for wckedness. Hawkins County, Tenn. boasts

THE PdR1GUdYdNS.

Unquestionably most of the parties in the
Paraguayan contest have been disposing them
selves TO the desperate conclusion that the war
must be finished now or never. But neither
this earnest intent on the part Of the Allies,
nor the Lisbon telegram that Ascuncion
has fallen and Lopez is in flight, GER
titles to us that the Dictator considers
his cause lost one. We are better assured
that the Brazilian Ministers, officers and men, y
to quote The Standard of Buenos Ayres, in
" fact every one in the army and navy, every
" one in Rio JaneirO, every one in Brazil, calls
" out for a cessation of hOstilites.' The Allied
Army numbers at present $4,000 Brazians,
$500 Argentines, and about $500 Paraguayans;
that of Lopez was lately reckoned at from
1000 to 5000, though the Brazilian Gen. Oso-
rio lately estimated it as larger But even
with a force much less than this, it is
conceded that Lopez has the means of pro-
tracing an already disheartened war, and at
the worst can take to the mountains of AS
curra and Caaguaza, where it will be vain to
pursue him. The Paraguayan war at this date
bears a suspicious resemblance to the most
provoking phases of Spanish, Mexican, and
South American guerrilla contests-the meanest
of warfares sustained by the grandest of de-
ferses and retreats, the mountains.
Will Lopez continue to sustain himself 7
When observers nearest to the seat of war are
hardly able to answer positively the question
of his whereabouts, yet feel that the task of
bringing the Dictator to terms is illusory and
hopeless, the question seems to answer itself.
The news is repeated to day that Lopez has been
routed at Ascurra, and that the war is at end ;
but the added report of a French newspaper
that, though defeated, the Dictator can still
hold out. leaves Nv ia ocr normal condition Of
