layed by scarcity of rolling stock 4. Only the
old-fasfhoned, imperfect brake is in use on tho
road; 8. The wrecked train would not have
burned but for the use of infammable fluid in
glass lamps In the cars; 0. The telescoping of
the Beverly train was more disastrous on ac-
count of the weak, old-fashioned platform
in the rear. We hear nothing of any
recommendation by the Coroner's jury
that the delinquent employees and few of the
leading officials of the Company be arrested
and tried for manslaughtcr. Perhaps this is
yet TO come, as we only get the verdict in
formally and before its official promulgation.
But it can scarcely be possible that
Massachusetts jury will let off the culprits
with mild note of censure" The President
of the road has agreed to all of the nine
requests preferred by the Swampscott Com
mittee, 80 far as he has authority, and has
promised to bring the rest before the Directors
forthwith But this is small concession,
and is only what should have been done
long before. 1t will not meet the
case at all. Fines, fOrfeiturcs, damages, pen
altics, are all inadequate to the urgent ncces-
sity for doing something to serve as a whole
some lesson alike to employees and managers.
A little judicious Imprisonment, uIder the
circumstances, might be safely recommended
as something good to begin with.

If apples are wormy this year, and grapes
mildcw, and ducks eggs addle, and bladcd
corn be lodged, it may all be ascribed to the
unballowcd influence of Mr.. Tiltons Life of
Victoria Woodruff of which we give copous
extracts in another place. The perusal of it
80 powerfully disturbed the usually calm and
impassive critics of The World, that after roast
ing the author they luggcd the "jcbratcno
"Jans" into every article in yesterdays paper.
1t is certainly the most extraordinary book
ever written out of Bcdlam. Its richness of
invention, its naive ignorance, and its inno-
cent immortality cause us to wonder whether
the veteran romanccr, Paul dc KOck, who died
last week, did not amusc his first leisure
hours in the Spirit World by debating this
prcpostcrous book to the Editor of The Golden

The inevitable Coored Man comes up again. this
time in the National Division of the Sons of Tenn
perance, which has just been holding Its annual
meeting in Boston. In various parts of the country,
persons of African descent, having become total alb
staiDers, have joined the Order and organized divi
sons Of their own. Then the question arose whether
they should be allowed representation in the supe-
rior bodies of the Order State as well as National
1t is enough to ill any sensible man with wonder
that there should ever have been any difference of
opinion on the subject. Temperance folks are pre-
sumed to be- at the least, benevolent and more
largely philanthropic than others, and If colored
men should ever be warmly encouraged it Is when
they are dscarding the habit of drinking sprituous
lquors-a habit which has done them specias@ FARM

in the National Division, good sense and healthy
human feeling prevailed over obsolete prejudice. aud

Information bearing upon tho important
case to be heard to-day in Judge Barnards
Court is printed elsewhere. The people are
looking on with bated breath and anxious
hearts to see if 1t is possible, by the means
which the law has given u.s. to break the cor
rupt combination which now rules the City.
The cause is that of the people against
Messrs. Tweed, Connolly, and Hall not that
of any political combination or individual,
but of the people only. The issue is to show
if the people have legal remedy against mis-
government and corruption in Office. If we
succeed, it will be a popular victory for the
right if not it will be proved that it is pos
siblc for great city to have its hands tied
and its way utterly blocked. We hope for
the best.

TRANSPORTATION or CATTLE.

Il is not great while since public attention
was excited by the cruclties to live stock prac-
ticed on the great transportation lines between
New York and the West. 1t was found that
cattle were kept for days without food or
water, crowded in close and filthy cars, and those
that survived tho journey reached this city in
diseased and debilitated condition. A little
agitation led to reform. Tho over-crOwding,
wo believe, was somewhat lessened, and ia
ciities were provided for feeding and water
ing tho animals at convenient distances along
tho route. This was excellent 50 far rs it went !;
but a further reform is demanded.
Persons used to the care of cattle VIII hardly
need to bo told that these creatures will
neither eat nor drink as much as nature re-
quires while they are long journey by
rail. Change of hay and water affects them
unfavorably, and the excitement, the jarring,
tho discomfort, and the vile air attending
transportation in cars creates general disturb
ance in their system. The consequence is
that the stock arrive at New-YOrk in hardly
better condition than when they used to be
starved on the road. Many are taken
from the cars dead, and hundreds are led to
the shambles with sunken eyes, frothng mouth,
and limbs hardly able to bear their weight.
Such attic are diseased and their flesh cannot
be fit for human food
The remedy for this evil is to shorten the
running time on the railway lines which do
this species of transportation. BY any of the
routes it now takes a cattle train one hundred
hours, or nearly four days and a quarter, to
come from Chicago to New York, while an ex-
press passenger train makes the trip in day
and half, and a fast freight train in sixty
hours. We can see no reason why live stock
should bo so cruelty delayed, to the great
damage and often to the destruction of the
animals. The time is lost, not III keeping
down the speed, but in lettering at way-sta-
tiOns and switches without necessity. If
Western graziers were in the habit of
bringing their own cattle to market, and
seeing for themselves how the value
of steer is deprecated by these
four and a quarter days of confinement, suf-
fering, and starvation, q pressure would soon
be brought to bear upon the railroad COM
panies to effect change in tie timetables ;
but in most cases the drOves are consigned to
the care of ignorant, careless, and brutal
hired hands, or are sold at some of the West
ern shipping places to large contractors
These middle-men and certain extensive Oper-
ators here nearly monopolze the trade of
New York, and it often happens to be for
their interest to delay trains on the route
when prices run low. 1t is supposed that they
are able to do this by On understanding with
the railroad companies and both the stock
raiser and the consumer sufer in consequence.

is the news that somo of the Central Ameri-

THE CHOLERA.

The recent reports of the progress Of tho
apprchcndcd epidemic in Europe fully confirm
the conjecturcs upon which we vcnturcd sew
eral weeks ago. In no part of the continent
has the disease assumed that pestilential form
which constitutes its chief terror, and
nowhere does it seem to be moving
in that rapid march Of devastation
for which in past years it has been
memorable. 1t has made it's appearance in
deed in several of the German cities, es-
pecaly along the Baltic coast, but not with
alarming fatality. In Russia it has prevailed
with severity, but it has prevailed there for
at least two years without crossing the west
crn frontier of the empire; and its recent
introduction into Prussia has been attended
with none of the signs of progressive movement
which distinguish it 30 painfully in it's worst
manifestations from other epidemic diseases
In KOnigsbcrg, where it has been most viru-
lent, it is rapidly declining, and in Stettin
and Dantzc it has not partaken OF the cpl
demic character at all. Finally, the reports
of its outbreak at Paris and London seem to
have been erroneous, the disorder which has
been mistaken for it in those citios being OF
a much less alarming and probably non-epi-
denc type.
While there has been some danger in this
ceuntry-enough at least to rouse us to the
need of sanitary precautions, and to stimulate
our sluggish authorities to little useful labor
in cleansing the filthest corners OF the markets
we have been at no time in imminent peru,
and the attempts of some of tho newspapers
to create cholera panic have been cruel and
mischicvous to the last degree. With
reasonable care in our personal habits
and ordinary diligence in keeping the
streets clear of garbage and other pestilcntial
nuisanccs, we may say that the danger of
epidemic has now passed entirely. Tho season
is too far advanced for the disease to make
hcadway. Sporadic cases of cholera may, of
course, occnr at any time; but if any such
should be reported, we need not allow un-
rrincipled sensation -mongers to excite us to
any alarm.

The CROSS Gazette cOOlly announces the result
of the Salzburg negotiations as being based on
The proposition that Austria and Germany re-
pudiate aggressive ideas. 1t is natural that
these Powers should unite to repel aggression.
especially as Germany has large newly
acquired territory which she wishes to defend
and keep; but that the reputation of aggres-
sion was the only or fundamental principle
upon which the two sOvereigns made any
agreement is not possible. Such an unmean-
Ing statement merely shows that The Cross
Gazette knows nothing at all of what happened
At the Sazburg conference.

We see it stated that the whipping-post has been
rcGrected all over the State of Virginia, and in
Chesterfield County, especially, there is a Justice
Cox who greatly favors this method of punishment,
especially when the offenders are negroes. Strange
to say the blacks said to prefer foggng to i'm
prisonment. But although they may be satisfied
and Justice Cox Also cannot say that we like
fogging in great Virginia any better than we have
liked it in little Delaware. If culprits prefer it, why
that is only another argument against it. Justice
Cox doesn't fog them because they like it. but be-
cause it is cheaper for the county. Much he cares
