THURSDAY. SEPT. a. 1871.

The Hartford and Erie corporation was
formally dccrced bankrupt last March, but
some interested in the matter have sought to
have this decree changed. Mr.. EnochG. SWEET.
of Woonsocket, R. l., petiiioned for a review OF
tho question, and his petition was heard in the
United States court, at Boston, yesterday. Mr..
Swett's petition presented three allegations:
1. That the provisions Of the bankrupt act do
not apply to railroad corporations. 2. That it
was not within the constitutional power of con-
gress to pass act affecting the status of rail-
road corporations chartered by states. s. The
district court had no right to declare this partc-
ular corporation bankrupt, because its property,
previous to the declaration, had been placed N
the hands of receivers appointed by the state
court.
The court considered these allegations and
found them insufficient. Congress has a right
to apply the bankruptcy act to corporations as
well as to individuals, municipal corporations ex-
cepted, of course. A railroad corporation is a
business corporation, and all such corporations
being of a private nature, come within the pro-
visions of the bankrupt act These are classed
as private corporations. Railroad, bank and
insurance corporations may be useful TO the
public without losing their private character.
Railroad corporations are created to transport
freight and passengers; they are common car.
riers, and, therefore, commercial corporations
subject to the regulation of congress. As to
the third allegation, the court held it to be friy-
olous, for, when the decree was made, property
remained in the control of the corporation,
which had not been passed into the hands of the
receivers. MIR. Swett's petition was denied, and
the decree of bankruptcy stands.

burn is a document of a high order, and will be
found interesting, not only to the losal, but 10
the general reader. II is net confined TO the
history of this particular LEGALITY, but illustrates
in an eloquent manner how our statesmen and
leading public men were prepared and qualified
for their important work of the formation of
our free government They were indebted for
their common sense ideas and their general in
telligencs, not SO much TO the advantages of
schools, which were very few, as to the home
education which they received from their puri-
tan mothers, and the training in debate of the
local town meetings, in which the principles and
polity of our general government were freely
discussed. The whole document is interesting,
and should be preserved for future reference by
the descendants Of Leicester, and the public gen.

We notice that one of our republican contem-
poraries, speaking of Salmon P. Chase, says,
che is an original democrat" This is not cor
recs He studied law in Washington, in the
office of William Writ, and, after trying the
world little, settled in Cincinnati. There, in
1910, he voted for General Harrison; and this,
we believe, was his first vote for candidate
for president. Soon after this date he was ac-
lively at work with those who organized the
Liberty Party" and he continued to act with
this party and with the free soil party, which
took its place, until the republican party was
formed Mr.. Chase never was a democrat,
partywse, any further than he became
one, some four years ago, by appearing
in the field as a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency. Daring
Mr.. Filmore's administration, he was much H.
Clned to have the free soil party of Ohio form
coalitions with the democrats Of that state; aad
it was by means of such a coalition that he was
elected to the United States senate. AT that
time, he began the habit of mind which has in
cned him to cherish as something hopeful and
useful in his political calculations, disposition
TO be very polite TO the democratic party, when
ever he found a favorable opportunity. He
gave way to an inordnate ambition for the
presidency, during the first term Of President
LincolR, and this ambition has controlled him
ever since. If the republicans had seen fit to
nominate him, at the close of Mr. Lincoln's
first term, he would never have been heard of
as democratic candidate for the presidency.

A company, of which many Americans and
Englishmen are members, has been organized at
Rome, for the purpose of dredging the Tiber,
with the object of recovering from its bed some
of the many relics of the art, the luxury and
the daily life of the old city, which have doubt
less rested there for centuries. Tradition assigns
the founding of Rome to the year 759 B. c..
For several hundred years its history is chiefly
Legendary, but from about $50 b. c., it was the
head of a rich and powerful state, and in that
time has seen numberless revolutions, revolts,
sieges and struggles with foreign and domestic
enemies all of which have made their contribu-
tions to the historic river. The monuments of
many a tyrant, the spoils of many q palace,
have been thrown into the yellow river by an
enraged populace or a successful competitor
for power, and in the centuries during
which Rome was the mistress of the
world, the river flowing past the luxurious and
splendid city must have become the receptacle
ofmyriads of articles, many of them valuable,
even then, and all of worth now to sntiquarians
at least, which have been thrown into it by
chance or in wantonness. Great expectations
are reasonably INDUCED of the value of the
treasures TO be recovered. The enterprise is
sanctioned by the new government of Rome, and
is undertaken in the interest of art and history,
and not as commercial speculation, although
in the latter aspect its results may not be ;nsig
nitcant. Signor Alessandro Castelar, is the
president of the company. A Paris banking
house supplies funds for the work, which win
begin at once, and will be watched with inter
est by all who care for art or letters

The constitution adopted at the convention of
the tribes in the Indian territory last year re-
mains proposition only, for it has not been
sanctioned by congress, and it is hardly possible
that it will be without important modifica-
lions. Colonel Boudinot, an educated
and influential chief of the Cherokees, urges
action by congress in several respects inconsis-
tent with the plan of an independent Indian
confederacy proposed in the 0cmulgee consttu-
tion. He recommends the passage of an act
giving to the Indians of the territory ono hun
dred and sixty acres of selected land for each
man, woman and child; providing for the sale Of
the rest of the land to actual settlers; devoting
the IT. rest of the Cherokee fund of one million
dollars to the education and support of orphans;
providing for the distribution yearly per capita of
the income from the other trust funds; establish
ing in the Indian country United States courts
with juries of Indians to try Indians accused of
crime; authorizing an Indian delegate in con-
gress to take the place of the delegations now
sent to Washington, at a cost of fifteen thou
sand dollars yearly. This he thinks congress
may do under the authority Of the treaty of
1866.

The railroad disaster in France was singularly
like that which occurred at Revere just eight
days before. In each case an express train
crashed into the rear of another train preceding
it on the same track. In each case the slaughter
was terrible, and the tortures of scalding by
escaping steam and water from the engine were
added TO the inevitable horrors of collision
The number Of those instantly killed was greater
in the Revere slaughter; but the indefinite Ian
guage of the dispatches in regard to the French
affair suggests that quite as many were more or
less injured there as at Revere. None Of the
statements yet received 6x the responsibility for
the French disaster, but such events do not take
place through the perYersity of fate or the de-
prayiiy Of inanimate things. The ignorance,
recklessness or malice of man only makes the
tremendous forces, which he has subdued N
minister TO his convenience, the agents of de.
struction.

The Mormon leaders do not seem TO have
learned wisdom by the i'll success of their re
cent collisions with the United States officers
Their effort to control the militia, in opposition
to the governor of the territory, was failure
They yielded when it became apparent that tho
governor was in earnest; that he was not in the
least afraid Of them, and could command all the
support he needed. Brigham Young contriVed
to be out of the way at the critical moment, and
thus left the responsibility of evading or pro-
voking collision upon his subordinates. An
other conflict of authority has recently arisen.
Tho prisons of the territory were formerly in the
hands of the Mormons, but the last congress
passed an act placing them under the control of
the United States marshal. No change was
made, however, in the management of the prison
at Salt Lake City until few days ago, when
Mr.. Patrick, the marshal, took posses
sion of it by force, but not until the
warden had carried away the furniture,
which was the property of the United States,
and also convict under a sentence of fifteen
years for manslaughter, whether he was the
only prisoner does not appear, and transferred
them to the city jail. The marshal, having in
effectually demanded the custody of this priS
oner, sent several deputies TO take him from the
jail, but they found it guarded by two hundred
Danites or other ruffans, and were obliged to re
turn without their man. Application was then
made to Judge Hawey, of the United States
court, for warrant for the arrest of the terri
torial marshal and the former warden of the
prison, for resisting the United States off,
cersl and coneealing their prisoner, and by
virtue of this warrant they were arrested and
held to bail. The prisoner, who was the
occasion of all the trouble, is not men
toned in connection with the arrest. and vheth-
er he is still an honored and cherished inmate
of the city JAIL or has returned to his residence
in the prison, in accordance with the pressing
invitation of the United States marshal, we are
not informed. 1t does not appear that his wishes
as to his future residence have been consulted;
but it must be very gratifying to him TO find his
society so highly coveted by these tive sets of
officials. Rather than give offeneS to either by
expressing his preference for the ether he would
probably consent to be excluded FROM beth their
