The EIe yatod Railway Acc,deur.

The elevated railway on Greenwich street,
which has been in operation for o short time,
and which gave such fair promise of solving
the difficult question of rapid transit up and
down town, came to grief yesterday. A
freight car, with ten tons of pig iron on board,
and passenger car, containing fifteen per-.
sons, mostly employees or stockholders of the
road, were passing over q wide span at Hous-
ton and Greenwich streets, on trial trip to
test the strength of the columns, when
the rails broke and the cars, with pig
iron and passengers, were precipitated
to the ground. Two of the passen-
gers were slightly injured and another
was hurt severely. The accident is extremely
unfortunate, from the fact that many had set
high hopes on this elevated railway as a sure
mode of rapid transit. 1t is due to the officers
of the road to state that they were testing the
capacity of the rails with load much heavier
than they could possibly crowd on passenger
car, and they claim that such an accident could
not have occurred in the ordinary course of
travel. Certainly worse accidents occur very
frequently on favorite lines of railway through
out the country, and it is probable that the
disaster may prove beneficial in its future
results, by securing sounder foundations and
remedying dangerous defects, if the company
persist, as they say they will, in repaicing and
finishing the road,

What /, the Use Of a Presbytery :

What Is the CSC OIL u ffesDytofys
The case Of the Rev. Charles b. Smyth
encourages us to ask the question, what is the
use of presbytery, so far as the minister of
any particular congregation is concerned
Mr.. Smyth was guilty Of the indiscretion of
entering hotel on Sunday, and then and there
drinking s'gin and milk" For this he was
tried by his peers and subjected to censure
Ifpresbytery means anything, is of any value,
has any power, this should have ended the
matter. We used to be told that it was of the
very essence of the Presbyterian form of church
government that the minister was answerable
to his co-presbyters and not to his congregation.
If Mr.. Smyths case be at all test case
presbytery is name, sham--no more, no
better. Having been tried by his peers and
dismissed with rebuke, he is next tried by
his congregation and unceremoniously told to
90 about his business. When such things are
done and permitted to be done can it be won
dered at that Presbyterianism begins to be a
name Of reproach The Roman Catholic and
the Episcopal churches do things better. If
presbytery has come down to this vulgar level,
independency, with it's so-called mob tyranny,
is infinitely to be preferred. We suspect that the
real explanation of the conduct Of the Eleventh
Street Presbyterian Church is this: under
Smyth, with his broa !, liberal views, the con-
cern was not paying. If Smyth is wise
man he will adopt at once broader platform
and shake himself free from Presbyterian
tshonda and innrisonments

The May Exoau. to the Country.

''God made the country and man made the
town." says the poet Cowper in his glowing
testimony to the delights of rural life, and our
good citizens seem to be in keenest sympathy
with him if we are to judge by their fight from
the metropolis during the two or three beauti-
fnl but sweltering hot days that have followed
close upon the rains and chill temperature of
last week. On Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day the enchanting environs which make the
neighborhood of New York the most attractive
in the world were alive with gay visitors in
spring attire, some hurrying forth to seek a
the city, and others looking for residence dur
ing the summer and autumn amid ''the pomp
of groves and garniture Of fields" The tenn
perature of July had surprised us in the first
fortnight of May, and the suddenness Of this
brief cheated term" made it sitting in the
denser quarters of the city. But while thou
sands of rural home-hunters were out in
force accommodation for them opens on
all sides, as our advertising columns amply
show. Long Island, Westchester county, the
lovely retreats of Staten Island--our American
Isle Of Wight-Jersey and the historic and pic
turesque regions that are strung together, like
incrustations of emerald, along the silver wind
ings of the Hudson-all offer increased attrac-
tions of food, forest and field this year, and at
terms to suit the wealthy and the men of mod
crate means alike From the surf at Long
Branch to the cool wooded and rocky shelter
of the romantic Catskills there are fine hotels
dotted along on shore and height, with delight
full private homes and farm houses scattered
between that offer every variety of accommo-
dation. In this respect there is nothing on the
whole Continent, nay, nothing in Europe, to
compare with the vicinity of New York. Here
is the great city, with its busy life and splen-
dor; yonder, almost in sight Of our Office
windows, are retreats worthy Of the vale
of Tempe and the hills of Arcadia. Our
citizens and tourists from afar can look out
upon them from our wharves, or, when they
have gone thither, may glance back upon the
panorama of the city.
Tis pleasant, through the loopholes OF retreat
TO peep at such world;
TO see the stir of the great Babel and not feel the
crowd;
To hear the roar she sends through all her gates,
AT safe distance where the dying sound
Falls soft murmur on tn uninjured ear

COngress-Nursing the Fifteenth Amend
ment-ExtinguishinG the Tariff Bill.

ment-ExtInguishinG the Tariff Bill.
The Senate revelled in buncombe yesterday.
The members have been making weak show
of business for some time, merely to deceive
Uvunsiy anu yea urvatu Ior the grandlloquent
verb0sity that commenced to flow yesterday,
and which will probably continue to flow for
the rest Of the week. The subject was on the
bill to enforce the fifteenth amendment,
and it was deemed Of such importance
that the Appropriation bill and the
bill to abolish the franking privilege
were postponed to admit of its consideration.
1t appears to us that Congress, and more espe-
cially the Senate, is disposed to bolster up
its own doings too much. 1t nurses its
children to death. Such healthy child
as the fifteenth amendment should be allowed
at once to walk alone. A few hard knocks
and i'll usage will not hurt it so much as pam
pering it and wrapping it in aannes. The
elder brother, reconstruction, has grown up a
thing almost deformed by just such foolish
usage, and, after such experience, the second
son should have different tending. As
it is, with Summers various methods
of compelling the negro to vote and eat, drink
and sleep alongside of his white brother,
whether he will or not, and this present bill,
and others no doubt in prospect, we expect
the infant fifteenth amendment will be bloated
with swill milk, unless Congress is sucked dry
very soon or started bow-legged and hump
backed, through the world, to waddle unstead-
lily in maze of fines and penalties and pro-
visos and fannels wrapped about it by an
over-anxious mother.
In the House several matters of great
Importance were acted upon. Mr.. Cox offered
a resolution favoring general amnesty, which
was referred to the Reconstruction Committee
after one vote on it, which indicates that the
House is pretty evenly divided on the subject.
Mr.. Schenck reported an internal revenue bill
which in effect reduces the internal taxation
nearly thirty-four million dollars. He said in
explanation that full bill on the subject
would not get through both houses
during the session, and he therefore
reported the present one as substitute. At
his request 1t was ordered printed and referred
back to his committee. In his remarks Mr..
Schenck touched upon the Tariff bill, and
stated that 1t would not probably be acted
upon this session, whereupon Mr.. Dawes
moved that all prior orders be postponed
until the appropriation bills are finished. This
motion was agreed to by vote of 90 to rs,
and thus ended the Tariff bill for the present.
Mr.. Bingham reported, under suspension Of
the rules, bill to enforce the right of citizens
to vote, which is similar in effect to the Senate
bill which we referred to above. Under the
suspension Of the rules the bill passed by
vote Of 131 to Al.

The MERCANTILE LIBRARY ELECTION takes
place to-day. The polls will remain open
from eight o'clock in the morning until nine
tonight. The main questions in discus
sion are the opening Of the library on Sundays
and the reduction Of the fees, and there are
two tickets in the field. The reform ticket,
headed by Peter VOORHEES,, favors both these
projects and is specially worthy the sufrages
Of all the members who favor the reforms 80

To-Day,. oity and state Election.

The election to come of to-day for State and
city officers has some curious features about 1t,
which impart TO 1t an interest beyond its actual
results. II is the first election under the new
Charter, and therefore leaves some little ex-
pectation Of reform in the government OF the
city. 1t Is the first State and city election also
under the fifteenth amendment, for Sambo VIII
go to the polls to-day all clothed in smiles ana
radiant with ivory to cast his vote fof the first
time without the onus Of two hu1dred ana
fifty dollar qualification on his shoulders, and
that will be a very entertaining event IL Is
the first election from which the triumphant
democracy have promised 30 much, and have
such unlimited power at the same time, under
new code Of laws, to provide for such results
in the future as the expectations of the tax
payers and order-loving citizens have right
to see fulfilled The leaders of the democracy
must, therefore, look sharp that these expcc-
tatlons shall not be disappointed, not only in
the immediate results Of the election, which we
take it for granted are already disposed OF,
but in the future management and use OF that
power which the terms of the Charter and the
votes to be cast to-day unite to repose in them
The election of Aldermen and Assistant Alder
men troubles very few people 1t was not to
be expected, perhaps, that under this early
operation of the new law the old class Of tick
cts would be purified and that our best clti-
z.ns could be induced to run shoulder
to shoulder with the doubtful ele-
ments that formed the Aldermanic boards
for 80 long. But in good time If the
intention OF the leaders be carried out, we
may see the intelligence and respectability
of the city fairly represented In the Common
Council consummation devoutly to be
wished. A much more important feature in
the election of to-day is the vote which is to
give us a portion Of the State and County
Judiciary for the next fourteen years. Five
Judges of the Court of Appeals are to be
elected on the State ticket, and four Judges
OF the Common Pleas Court and three
of the Marine Court are to be elected
on the city ticket. The names of the gentle
men for these Offices are unobjectonable.
The choice of the democratic nominees is, of
course, foregone conclusion. The republi
cans may, by using some exertion, poll
pretty large vote for their candidates through
out the State; but the probability is that the
election will go by default, for want Of the
vital force to bring majority to the polls.
Dull as this election may be compared with
previous contests, there is sufficient amount
of interest in it, from the fact that good deal
of fermentation exists among the masses,
arising from the recent factionism in the domi-
nant party, aud that it will be regarded as
setting the seal Of success for the old regime
over the baffled, beaten, but ambitious young
democracy. The taxpayers and the lovers of
law and order will look not half SO earnestly
to the returns of the ballot box to-day as they
will look to the results that are to follow the
days work in the future good or bad govern
ment Of the city.

Too Much Cotton and Too Little Corn

Too Much Cotton and Too Little Corn.
We give some extracts to-day, copied from
Southern papers, in relation to the prospect
of the crops on the second week in May. It
seems that the universal complaint at some
points is that too much land has been planted
in cotton and too little in corn, SO much so as
to warrant the prediction that, from present
appearances, ''cotton seed will have to take
the place of corn for man and beast next fall
and winter" This is unfortunate. Before
the war it was the great mistake of the South
to be obliged to buy from year to year the
actual necessaries Of life and rely for payment
thereof upon the growing staple, and when
the crash came she was like an unprovisioned
garrison, filed with brave men with empty
stomachs. The South must rely more upon her
own fields for her breadstuffs and provisions
and less upon the grain and bacon of the great
West. If q lesser breadth of cotton be
planted the price of the staple will be corre-
spondingly increased, in consequence of
diminished supply, and in any event, pro-
vided in the meantime plenty of corn and
grain be planted, they will have plenty Of
food for man and beast, without paying five
fold for the same to the West and California.
The danger Of the South in the future lies in
having too much cotton and too little corn.

IMMIGRATION ON Born SIDES OF THE CONT
NENT.-Over nine thousand emigrants arrived
at New York from Europe last week. We
learn, too, that the Pacific mail steamer Japan,
which arrived at San Francisco last Friday,
brought fourteen hundred passengers, thirteen
hundred OF whom were Chinese emigrants.
Thus the tide of population is swelling on both
sides Of the Continent. Let the people come.
There is room enough, cheap land enough,
plenty of well paid employment and abundant
resources for all. The United States can sus-
tain O population of four or five hundred mil
lions. Nor need there be any fear of admitting
Che various nationalities and races. We can
mould them to our institutions and make them
useful in developing and increasing the wealth
of the country. The prospect is that within
twenty years this country will be the most
popnlous of all the civilized countries OF the
world, and that there are many men living who
will see hundred millions Of Inhabitants in
the United States.

RRvoLuTIoNIsM IN LONDON. England has
had u radical revolutionary ''scare." A
number of Irish gentlemen who visited London
from Birmingham on Sunday were arrested
before they had time to enjoy the ''sights" Of
the great metropolis The main charge
against them appears to be that they had
plenty of money and pistols. If this consti-
tutes treason in London the magistrates do not
rule according to New York law. Plenty of
money treason in an lrshman! Nonsense !
Every gentleman in Ireland who wishes to
live up to the memories of the ''ould times
must come TO New York at once.
