Government, has presented to the Impe-

slaves belonging to the crown. This act,

bill also releases the convict slaves on the

parts Of the city, is the all cngrosaing
topic with the people here Just now.
Whether or no the bill for the Same will
pass the State Legislature to which the
matter is referred, il matter of consid-

west side favor the project, and are push
ing the matter with all the force they can
muster, but many Of the east people are
uniavorablc to the undertaking, and will
use their influence against the passage OF
the bill.
The local newspapers are about equally
divided on the subject. Some taking
strong grounds for, and others equally
strong against. The consequence is we
hear bridge, bridge, and nothing but
bridge and probably the excitement will
continue until the bill shall have been
passed, and some eager contractor made
happy by commission to do the job.
For my part | cannot see of what essen.

city, except to serve as one of the speci-

THE UUnSON RJVER DISASTER


In the first shock of the awful disaster on
the Hudson River Railroads. disaster which
seems TO combine in one horrible scene all the
worst forms of railroad slaughter, death by
collision, by fire. and by drOwning,-men will
be in no mood for judging calmly the respon-
sibity for the occurrence. We turn from the
sickening spectacle of train filled with men,
women, and children crashing in the dead of
night into the midst of line of disabled cars,
and wrapped in flames of burning oil, until
the wreck breaks through the charred timbers
of a bridge, and the shrieks of the suf-
ferers are stilled forever in the merciful
waters of the river,-and we look instinct
lively for some guilty head upon which
to cast the blame of catastrophe that mocks
our boosted mastery over steam, and fire, and
water and almost makes us doubt whether our
modern improvement in modes of travel is
worth the price we pay for it. 1t needs little
search however, to convince any one that the
accident near New-Hamburgh could not have
occurred without carelessness so gross as to be
almost incredible. An extra train, loaded with
oil, breaks down at a drawbridge. That may
have been an unavoidable accident, for aXles
will sometimes break without warning, espe-
Cially in frosty weather. But with even Ordi-
nary good management it should have been
utterly impossible for another train to come upon
it there unawares. The New-YOrk express was
known TO be due at that point, and the very first
duty of the conductor of the oil train was to send
a man ahead at full speed with signal light.
If there was no time for this, there are two
other particulars in which carelessness was I'M
questionable In the first place, trains should
never be allowed to pass each other on
bridge; in the second place. they should never
approach draw without coming to full
! STOP Had either of these rules, commonly
! adopted by prudent superintendent, been OBJ
served in the present case. the disaster would
have been prevented. After the great Norwa TX
accident Oh the New-Haven road, twenty years
ago, when passenger train ran into an open
draw. the people clamOred for law com
nelling engineers to bring their trains TO a
sion before approaching such places, and we
helieve Connecticut and Massachusetts adopted
the necessary legislation. The roads between
New-York and Boston, at any rate, have since
enforced the required regulation, and their trains
are consequently no longer in the habit OF
nlunHng into the river. But i'll Ncw-Yo the
matter has been neglected, and the result is
before us. Every drawbridge is dangerous
Mace. An engineer has no business to assume
that the signals are right and the draw closed
lint his duty is to approach with all possible
coution. 1t is not to the point to say that th'
r,escnt accident might have happened any
where just as well as on the bridge as
matter of fact, it was on the bridge that th'
oiI-train broke down, and that the express RAJ
into il and If either had stopped, as 1t SHOULD

Tn rooord 10 the second letter of j. 5. T..
herewith printed. we must DO brief. Here are
our positions
I. To admit foreign products free Of duty,
on condition that they be devoted 10 par
ticuar use, is to give our manufacturers Oh
Sheathing Cordagc, Boilers, Engines, &C,
&c. staggering blow. Working up dearer
material with dearer labor than our foreign
rivals who have already large and assured
homo market, we apprehend that our artisans
cannot withstand so unequal rivalry, and
they shall not, with our consent be subjected
to it,
.. Smuggling by merchants is limited by the
fact that the Government keeps its eye and
hand on the imports till the duty is paid Let
those imports pass ont of the hands and beyond
the vision of its officers, and who does not see
that the case is bravely altered The plates,
bolts, engines, anchors, &c, &C., come to New
York, and are here passed free; they go to
Wilmington Baltimore, Memphis, &c, &C., to
be there used in building ocean steamers and
other craft. He who does not see that they
would often be diverted from that use must
wear very thick goggles.
g. J.S.P. does not deny that demagOgue
appeals would be based on the policy he
champiOns-that farmers would be urged
to say by their votes that plow-iron on ght to
be free AZ well as ship-irOn. He can only say
that such considerations should not have any
weight. Our opinion is different.
a. He argues that the subsidies whereby Great
Britain and other countries have built up inn
mense fleets of ocean steamers are in fraud OF
favor TO the vessels of the respective countries
in the ports of each. Admitted. He goes on
to say that we might fairly require the coun-
tries with which we have treaties providing Tor
commercial reciprocity to discontinue their
subsidies. Very well. Now does he not see
that this would not answer the purposeY Our
rivals have, by the help of subsidies estab-
lisbed commercial relations with all the ruder
peoples Of the EARTH the native merchant OF
Madagascar, Yedo, Singapore, Siam, Bor-
neo, knows all about British wares and
fabrics but nothing of ours; we may
make better Axes, Spades, Screws, Sheet
ngs, &C.. than the British; but he has no
chance to buy or see ours, while every month
brings an assortment of their British rivals to
his door. For British industry, the work of
subsidies has been nearly done; for ours, it
has hardly been begun. To propose to Great
Britain mutual discOntnuance of subsidies
from this date, is like Rebel guerrilla who
has fred and winged Union soldier whose
musket is still loaded proposing that neither
shall fire any more.
On the whole, we adhere to our former
position. 1t may or may not be advisable to
subsdize ocean steamship lines; but, if we do
not subsidize, we shall not have them. And, in
that case, we shall suffer if ever again in
volyed in hOstilties with nation which has
the ocean covered with ocean steamers, sub
sidized so long as that was necessary, and
ready to be converted into war-ships when
ever such shall be needed.

would have been no collision.
We presume law will now DO introduced

we have referred to: but still another reform
il necessary for the protection of the travelling
public. When the Mast Hope affair happened
ON the Erie Railroad we pointed out how it
might have been rendered impossible by the
block system of signaling On this system the
whole line of the road is divided into sections,
with telegraph station at the boundary of
each, and an arrangement of signals by which
an engineer, on passing each station, can learn
the state of the road before him and the posi-
ton of trains on it, whilo at the same time
information of his own position is flashed to
all the trains he is liable to meet Now make
it a rule that no conductor shall enter upon \
section until he learns that all is clear to the
next, and arrange that trains shall meet only
at stations, and you render collision almost
impossible. Express trains might be delayed
a few minutes by the necessity of Stacking
speed; but this would be not much to pay for
the additional safety.

A loyal Southern man and soldier was lately
paid bv Congress for his house, which had
been demolished during battle to give free
range to the Union guns. COnceiving that this
action has committed the country to the pay
ment of all claims of all loyal people, GER
tain citizens of LoudOn County Virginia,
have asked payment for olive stock seized by
&" Gen. Sherman in 1864" and as far as the
Seuate is concerned have got it. Mr.. Garrett
Davis maintained in this connection that dis
loyal citizens were entitled to the same pro-
lection as loyal ones and "thercupOn," the report
adds, "the bill passed" 1t is to be hoped the
vote was not the natural consequence of the argu-

the Kentucky precedent lately set is to be
thus abused we shall bitterly regret having
acquiesced in it at the time, and beg Congress
men to take the earliest opportunity for re-
tracing steps attended with such financial
danger,
