The new departure has some ominous &C
compartments. Vallandigham shot himself
after taking it, and the democratic delegates
who forced it upon their party in this State
came very near taking their departure from
this world on the train that took them home
from convention. In addition to threatening
to break up the democratic party, it has IA
tality for the prominent movers in its adop
ton.

The completed official returns of the British
of %, zoe, 900, and Ireland 100000. In 1861
England and Wales had 2O,O66, 224 and Ire
land 5,799,967. There is therefore decrease
of 900 in Ireland for the decade; an in
crease of 1900, 900 in England and Wales
and net gain for the kingdom, excepting
Scotland, of about $3.50, 900 souls. Some.
thing of this is probably attributable to the
involuntary immigration from the Continent
but the real value of the returns must await
fuller publication.

The public who travel-ar asking sucf
questions and have right to all the Sc
curitv that can be afforded them. Ten
minutes delay of the dummy at Gardiner
would have prevented the collision which
occurred Five minutes delay of the
mixed train at Hallowell wonld also have
prevented the disaster. Those who
travel cannot avoid thinking that acct
dents and worse than accidents are be-
coming too frequent for comfort 1t is a
subject in which everybody is interested.
So far as we know there is confidence in
the management of the road. 1t has until
recently been free from accidents and dis
astefs, but the experience of the past few
weeks has been of different character.
In business point of view it is of the
deepest Importance to the company that
every care be taken to insure the safety of
passengers. Whatever interferes with
that binders prosperity, but above all life
is too sacred to be sacrificed by reckless,
inefficient, or stupid employees.
Since the above was written the con-
ductor has told his story and assumed the
responsibility for the collision. His only
excuse is that he lost his wits in dealing
with troublesome passenger. His frank
ness is commendable, but his apology is
feeble. A man liable to be thus thrown
from his balance is not the kind to be en-
trusted with the care of human life.

THE PRESENT DANGER.

The Irish Catholics of New York city
number one third of its voting population,
and with their corrupt Democratic asso-
ciates control the city. Does any one sup
pose that they would have attempted to
bully and disperse peaceable protestant
procession, if they had not good reason to
know that Mayor Hall, Superintendent
Kelso, and the whole Democratic Tam
many ring would not secretly aid or coun-
.enance them? Would they have under
taken such demonstration if they had
anticipated a firm resolute municipal gov
eminent to defeat them? Not at all, They
know that for years, whenever it suited
them, they have bullied protestant de-
monstrations. Last year they set upon
the Orangemen and almost unmolested
dispersed them by brute mob force.
They knew the sympathies of the city
authorities were with them this year, and
they did not dream that even a strong
public sentiment could interfere with them
and force the authorities to protect their
hated rivals. az1g
But public sentiment, backed by the ITi-
b,tne, Times, Post and Herald drove even
Gov. Hoffman, the tool of Tweed and his
Irish bullies, to change front and give the
Orangemen the rights of freemen 1t was
this outraged and indignant public feeling
| that drove the Governor to undo what Hall
| and Kelso had done. If it was not public
sentiment that did it, why did he not
promptly issue his proclamation as soon as
Mayor Hall forbid the Orangemen to
march in procession? Then was the time
to act if he was anxious to give these
Protestant foreigners the privileges of citi-
zens of this free Republic. -rr7 s"la1
| The whole truth of the matter is that
| the Irish Catholics of New York, unless
restrained by laws, firmly and fearlessly
| executed, will convert that city govern
ment into the intolerant, tyranical, cor
rupt government suited to the spirit and
objects Of their church. If they could,
they would convert the metropolis of the
continent into hierarchy, with the Pope
and his infallible dogma at its head, and
use its immense revenues to subvert free
government in America, and give it over
TO the clutches of its priest-ridden, anti
American, anti-Republican church. This
is the issue we must meet in this country,
and we must meet it now. The ROmish
church, by its recent bold, unblushing ag-
gressions, stands emasculated of its plausi-
BILE pretexts, of its cunning devices to win
public favor, and stands out to Protestants
in all its dangerous features. 1T isa church
that seeks to gain political control in this
country, to use our institutions and our
mighty power to prosecute the religious
dogmas it holds. 1t is a standing menace
to civil and religious liberty, and as such
ought to be fought. We are not appealing
to idle fears or prejudices. Facts point but
one way, and we cannot shrink from the
| struggle

THE DOUBLE DAILY MAIL.

The following orders were received by
Post Master General on Tuesday:
Tennessee Route 10, 001-Knoxvillet to Bristol
contract is ordered with the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company (R
7. Wilson, of Knoxville, president,) for service
twice daily. each way-onee daily in railway
post office cars, fitted up in accordance with the
plans of the Department, and once daily in bag
- gage cars at therate of S225 per mile per an
mum, S29, 407 so, from October l, 1871, subject
to the order of the Postmaster General, dated
April 4, 1866, directing that in cases of certain
railroads indebted to the Government for rail
road material purchased by them, all orders re-
.eognizing amounts due said companies for
transportating the mails shall be specially re-
ferred to The ouditor, to be placed to the credit
ofthe Ouartermaster's Department. ,v,,,

dered to contract with the same company
once daily in cars as aforesaid, and once daily
in baggage cars, with the same conditions as
described in, the, contract on first described
route. Compensation at the same rate.

70 mail service will not be put in operation

pared, It will also be seen that the mail
will be carried once daily in baggage cars

DANGEROUS RECORDS.

Our Democratic friends can't eat or sleep
we won't say drink-because President
Grant and his Secretaries take recreation
during the vacation ofCongressmen. They
publish lists of salaries of the President
and his Cabinet, and figure it down to the
day, and ask their readers to see how easy
public men make their money. Jefferson,
we believe, was the father of Democracy.
See what the Washington Federdlist of
May, 1902, said of him and his Cabinet:
1.-THE President has retired to Monticello.
Mr.. Madison, Secretary Of State, is gone to
Virginia, Secretary Deacham returned on the
18th from an excursion to the Eastward. Mr..
Gallatin Secretary of the Treasury is on q
party of pleasure to Pennsylvania and New
York. Perhaps some profitable speculation
may tall under his notice, as he has much
money at command. The Postmaster General
has gone in the mali to Connecticut. Mister
Duane (the particular friend OF Mr.. Jefferson,
and in the absence of Mr.. Giles, one of his con-
stitutional advisers,) has repaired to Philadel-
phia. Levi Lincoln, Esq, Attorney General,
was the only public officer resident at the seat
of Government for some time past" rff
