BcrGh and the Railroad Herses.


II ever there was true friend to suffering
brute humanity" surely 1t is Mr.. Bergh.
His action Is worth all the talk Of the sopho-
moric humanitarians. His energetic conduct
in Brooklyn in Selling all the poor, spawned,
broksndown animals Of the city railroads and
releasing them from their miserable toll is
worthy Of all praise. 1t was the custom for
this hearsless company, which has grown rich
upon its earnings, to use the unfortunate horses
upon the different lines at night which were
not fit to be seen in harness by daylight.
Bergh, however, made raid upon them the
other night and took them all out of harness !;
thus compelling the company to put sound
animals to the cars. Now, the next thing Mr..
Bergh ought to do, in the full performance Of
his duty is to prosecute the Brooklyn City
Railroad Company, under the statute for tn Q
prevention Of cruelty to animals. Mr.. Dergh,
whatever people may say of his eccen-
tricities, has done good deal to humanize
the class Of men who own horses used for
working purposes, whether they belong to in
dividnals or corporations. He has taught
them at least that the poor dumb brute has
rights which his taskmaster is bound to respect.
He has shown that the shelter of the law ex-
tends to the lower animals, and that they must
be protected from the avarce or the evil pas
sionS of man.

ahe same fault might not be found with all
Kinds Of correspondence, and more with that

Mr.. Farnsworths bread objection to both these
amendments was merely the necessity for ma
huring properly guarded plan for q cheap
Ser postal system. The latter gentleman him
self offered an amendment to abolish the
Thanking privilege on and after July l, 1871,
with proper facilities to the press and to pub
Tic officials. This was ordered to be printed,
and will come up to-day for consideration.
The resolutions were all important. They
related to the seizure of the American schooner
Granada by British revenue cutter In the
horbor of Port Hood, Nova Scotia-a case
under the Fisheries dispute in reference con-
corning which the State Department Is re-
'quested to furnish full information; to the
European project for free port in the Bay
Of SANTANA, an act unfriendy to
the United States and In contravention of the
Monroe doctrine; and, finally, q revision of
the Tariff, especially on necessaries of life, as
apparently demanded by the country, speak
Ing through the recent elections.
+, In these three resolutions, referred respec.
lively to the Committees on Foreign Affairs
and on Ways and Means, a whole policy is
disclosed, and 1t is to be hoped that no mere
partisan considerations will prevent full justice
being done to the needs Of the laboring classes
at home and the righteous demands of the ma
tlOn abroad. In the rfsunae which we have
compiled of the preliminary transactions at
Washington for two days past the country
will see mapped forth, in close yet clear out
lines, material for most active, useful and
telling session. 1t is an index for splendid
schedule of work, which may render the clos

able In its way as anything else that has dis

may be enabled to date from it the birth of a
sound and far-reaching American policy.
