SPEED on RAILWAYS.

A speed Of 80 and 30 miles an hour has
been made by rail, but no such rate has
ever been maintained continuously. In
England 60 miles an hour was In one in
stance attained with a passenger train
over seventy-feet guage; but, although
quite acceptable to passengers. who will
lingly paid large extra fare tor the pleas
ure of travelling over the country at such
an exciting velocity, the company was
soon compelled to abandon the idea of
such speed. 1t was soon found that no
known combination of wood and iron
could endure the wear of so ponderous
rolling stock Gas that fitted to so broad
gauge), laundering along with such fear
iul momentum. And now, on the very
best British railways of widest gauge and
on straight lines, there are few passenger
trains running fifty miles anihour; the ay-
erage being between 35 and 40 miles
while ordinary traffic averages 90 miles,
per hour, as is stated upon accepted au-
thority. a
The speed in this country, however, is
much less and must necessarily remain so
for some time to come, taking our entire
railway system into account. Our fastest
trains seldom exceed 35 miles an hour.
and do not average over so; while gen.
eral passenger traffic-between stations,
probably does not exceed an aver
age OF twenty miles an hour. Our road
beds are comparatively new, and conse-
quently lack the solidity of British or
European roads in general. The former,
especially. are very generally ballasted
with broken stone or kind of gravel very
generally and cheaply attainable there.
while the low price of labor renders II
possible for these corporations to ballast,
and indeed perfect, their roadbeds in a
way which is not to be thought of vet in
this country, except in the case Of the
richest corporation. The rapid advance
ments making by our railway companies
in the finish of railroads and superstruct-
ure, and the adoption of improved roll
ing-stock with all the modern appliances
devised for comfort and safety, are lead
ing to the use of more and more speed as
fast as can be done commensurately with
reasonable economy and due regard to
safety. 81 E9a

With letters of monstrous size
And there sat and read il,

Many time heart broken,
And often blind from tears.
For read of stripes and scourgin's,
OF the bloodhound's fearful bay:
OF manacles and Of auctions,
With loved ones sold away.

THE Springfield Republican,
speaking of the air of shrewd eau
ton and discretion which surrounds
Greeley's letter of acceptance, says:
"Our amiable friends of the Grant
party who have been hugging the
hope that the old editor would be
betrayed into some folly or impru-
dence, and so furnish capital for
their use in the approaching cam
vass, now find out-what we have
been telling them all along-that
they were mistaken in their man."
The trouble with Grceley's cir
cumspection is that it comes too
late. The one conspicuous act of
folly and imprudence Of which he
has been guilty, is, that he has allow
cd himself to become the fgure-head
of the crowd of corrupt and mer-
cenary politicians who assembled
at Cincinnati. This act of supreme
foolishness contrasted with his past
political record, will afford capital
enough to defeat him without re-
course to his later and more guard
ed though less sincere utterances.
The arguments against Greeley,
furnished by himself, need not be
laid in wait for. They are scatter
ed about in embarrassing profusion
and richness.

Amnesty.

Congress last week passed, and
the President signed an amnesty
bill which removes all political disa'
bilities from all the rebels with the
exception of less than two hundred
Among these are lhc chiefs Of the
rebellion, Davis, Breckenridge, &c,
and those officers of the army and
members of Congress who resigned
to join the rebels. There is now
not single participant in the re-
bellion who is debarrcd from voting
for that cause; the parties yet re-
naming under ban being only dis
qualified for holding Office under the
government. Thus one plank of
the Cincinnati platform becomes an
obsolete issue before the canvass is
fairly commenced, and the present
administration, which has repeated
ly urged the subject upon Congress,
has the satisfaction of seeing it's
views adopted and carried out to
the full extent desirable or necessa-
ry. The exceptions named in this
bill may continue to remain such
for an indefinite period without
injustice to individuals or the coun-

We CLEAN from the Dubuque pa

calamity which occurred in that
city about o'clock Saturday after
noon. The dry goods store of John
Bell & Co., which was formerly a
church edifce, and in the tower of

in consequence of the undermining
of it's foundation by an excavation
for new building contiguous, fell
in with tremendous crash, bury

and in front of the store. Fortu-
nately, at the hour at which the
accident occurred there were few
in the store, else the loss of life
, might have been frightful. AS it
Ayas, Mrs. Emma Ellwauger, her in
i Ant, 8 months old, her sister, Miss
Hannah Street, and Mrs. Richard

falling walls. The first three had
reached the sidewalk in front Of the
store. The babe was instantly kill

few hours. Mrs. O'Cheney
%vas in the store, and escaped with
slight injuries by getting under a
Aounter, which formed a protection
against the falling walls. The en-
ployes of the establishment, two
young lady clerks and two gentle
men, had been. discussing in a
jocular way the probability of such
a catastrophe and fixed upon plan

THE House Of Representatives, on
Tuesday, refused to suspend the
lee!es and take up the bill authoriz-
Pig the further suspension of the
Ewrit of Aabeds corpus at the discre-
stion of the President. The proba-
Abilities are that the bill will not
|Spass, and we are Of the opinion that
Mhe country will justify the action
Ssf the House in defeating it. This
semedy for disorder, only justified
Nv the most imperative necessity,
s,ould be continued not an hour be-
pond the emergency which calls for
8 exercise. Since the suppression
lie the murderous organizations,
Which a few months ago bid def
tnce to the laws in some portions OF
lhe South, that section is apparently
OO,sauquil, and the time seems propi-
sjous for the relaxation of extraordi-
diary methods of government
aMessrs. Donnan, McCrary and Cot
kbn. Of Iowa, voted in the negative
Sn>the proposition to take up the
bill, which fact is compliment to
their discretion and good Judgment.
