STR JOSEPH WHTTwORTH, the en-
inent English mechaniciaD, urges
the great importance Of the use OF
every possible means for detecting the
uusOundness Of the iron used in axles
Of railway carriages. AS the best
method for this purpose, he advises
the drilling Of a hole through the cen
ire Of lis axis for its entire length,
thus opening to inspection and exam
nation that part Of the material
which, in the case Of ordinary manu-
facture, is most subject to flaws. The
hole should be about one inch in diam
eter, and with suitable mechanical
arrangements might be drilled at an
average cost Of about thirty-seven
cents per axle. With the outside
turned and the inside thus exposed
to view, q serious flaw in the axle,
which is only about four and a half
inches in diameter, could hardly es-
cape discovery. This plan will also
diminish the tendency of the axle 10
get heated, by removing the material
near the neutral axis, and, under the
circumstance, would reduce the in
ternal strain, and thus render the
axle safe.

APPEAL
OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CITY.
SATURDAY HOREIEs, : Jan. "A. 1871

THE AUaJGnohe is again guilty Of
garblng, and we call the attention Of
its readers to the extract from Web
ster, which we recently published, as
especially applicable toit. We said on
the 18th we were for a Democrat for
Senator of Arkansas, but we would
have Clayton if We could not get a
Democrat. The Avalanche publishes
the paragraph in which the first idea
is contained, TO show inconsistency in
the APPEAL, and omits that part of
the article Immediately following
which shows perfect consistency. 1t
takes disjOinted sentences for proof,
ii never reprOduces the fair meaning
Of an antagonist, and exhibits daily
its absence Of honor and candOr to
every discriminating reader. To our
Thursdays article it attempts no re-
ply, because reply is impossible. 1t
dare not give a fair statement of the
position of the APPEAL on that OF
any other subject, because it wants
both facts and gumptiOn to make a re-
spectacle answer, and is driven to
seek help from the Radical press even
to make the contemplate showing il
undertakes. There is no dealing with
so shameful a publication.
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-01-14

TIE Avalanche has a repetition in
yesterdays issue Of It's ~stereOtyped
boast that it excels the APPEAL in
enterprises" and the boast has no
better foundation than the fact, that,
at the cost Of a mere trihe, it obtained
a special, which the APPEAL reporter

gether the maimings and commissions
received in a smash-up or destruction
of cars and in a hand-to-hand contest
with the outlaw of society-wil work
a change that viii be wonderful. We
can scarcely cite a great railroad
tragedy where some one was not to
blame-where prudence in conduct
ors, and engineers, and fagmen, or
liberality in the direction Of the COM
pany, would not have avoided the
disaster. Security Of life and prop
erty is the right Of every man. 1t is
the duty Of government to interpose
for its protection when other means
fail. The great loss Of life which has
resulted from railroad travel in the
United States calls loudly for inter-
ventiOn. Fines and penalties, suited
to the case, must be decreed and
rigidly enforced. Laws regulating
the action Of companies, to insure
public safety, must be adopted, and
accountability established for every
accident. This accomplished, we
doubt not, our railroads would be
worked with as few accidents as now
mark the administration of the older
lines of England and the European
States. The comparative safety of
railway travel in England is due be-
yond all question to the fact that
the courts demand Of the
companies a strict fulflIment Of all
the requirements they take upon
themselves, and deal with severity
with managers and employees who do
not exercise due precautions in TIE
running Of trains. We learn from a
long article in the New York Herald
on railroads that they are not
only held to answer to the penal en-
actments Of the country, but are COM
PEELED to pay heavy pecuniary dam
ages to the dependents Of the victims
Of their negligence, and those who
sustain personal injuries but escape
with their lives. It is not unfreqUently
the case that verdicts are returned in
the English courts to the amount of
thirty thousand or forty thousand dol
lars for personal injuries, and we
have noticed at least one case in
which more than fifty thousand
dollars was recovered. 1t is true
that heavy verdicts do not wholly
prevent fatal or serious accidents, but
it greatly reduces their prevalence, as
it compels the companies, as matter
Of self protection, to operate their
roads with greater care and cOnse-
qUent safety to passengers. Accord
ing 10 the returns Of the British Board
of Trade, there was paid by the rail-
road companies of England and Ire
land in 1865, for damages for acci-
dents, no less a sum than S2,103,8 $50.
OF this amount, $1,4O7, $40 was for in
jury done to persons, and S6O5, 915 for
damage to goods. The figures for
1S69-7O are not at hand, but from re-
liable estimates the totals are likely
to exceed that Of 1865"

Your friend, FRANK P. BLAIR.
1t will be seen from the above let
ter that General Blair scOrns the cant
about "dead issues and the ''new
era" and proposes to war upon the
whole reconstruction policy of Radi-
calism. If he were to utter such SEN
timents in Memphis he would be
called Bourbon" and 'fogy" by those
who believe that every violation Of
the Constitution, every iniquity
in the shape Of Radical
legislation are accomplished facts, "
and should be accepted. The De
mocracy of Missouri have arrayed
themselves against all the atrocities
of Radicalism, whether in the shape
oflaws or constitutional amendments,
or else they would not nominate for
the Senate General F. P. Blair, who
hardening not to the siren voice OF
expediency, abjuring all concessions
and repudiating all compromises, has
lifted high the banner Of Democracy
and boldly bids defiance to the enc
mics of the Constitution. We trust
General Blair viii be elected to the
Senate, for he is a man who will re-
buke insOlence, expose ignorance,
show up the iniquities and traitOrous
objects Of RadicaIism; demonstrate the
efficiency and t~rUthfulness of the great
and vital principles Of Democracy;
defend the right and resist the I'M
principIed schemes Of a reckless and
corrupt administration; thus giving
strength, hope and encouragement
everywhere, and thus contributing to
those grand results which will cause
the national heart to throb with joy,
pEult9tiOn and triumph.
