RAILROAD TRAVEL.

Every passenger about to embark on
journey, especially if it be long one,
should carefully examine if possible,
which is the safest, the quickest, and
the most comfortable. Safety is the
most important item, and one which
the traveller cannot take too great care
to secure. This brings me to notice
some improvements in the means of

and desperate career. Regret at the loss OF
a love correspondence of such richness MS the

intimation of Judge Brady that the valuable

The righteousness of this absurd result OF
the whole affair il heightened 10y the serious
ness with which Judge Brady proceeds to IL
lustrate his ingenuity in splitting legal hairs
by continuing the injunction against all the
real plaintiffs, Stokes, Miss Mansfield, and
PostOn, and dissolvnS it rs against John
" Doe" and Richard Roe" the other unknown
and mysterious parties to the complex and
vexatious litigation. The suit is, however, to
be resumed in another form at Yorllville
to-day, and the rich developments promised
may yet be expected by tho curious in such
soandalous transactions.

Further information from New-0rcans shows
some more rapid changes in the situation and
the last mutation seems TO leave Gov. War
moth master of the situation. The thirty AS
scmblymen who remain with Carter and the
Custom-hOuse leaders are outside the State
House, and their ballroom sessions will lack
dignity to say the least. The State or
Warmoth party has sixty threo Assembly
men, who constitute a quorum with ten
to spare and there arc seventeen Senators
meeting from day to day: the Custom house
men and Democrats on the other hand. mum
her but forty-twO all told. Yet this busy fac
ton, aided by Federal patronage. has been
able to create tremendous tumult and nearly
revolutionize the State. There is no doubt "a
to where the responsibility for this belongs.
The men who disgraced the very name of Re-
pubIicanism when the State Convention was
broken up last Summer, have been permitted
to remain and persevere i'll their interference
in State political affairs. Warmoth's course
may bring him penal consequences but the
conspiring Federal officials could and should
have been removed long ago.

men were hard-fsted and honest; when their
sturdy wives washed, and knew the ways of

of hardy children grew up within their gates

TTMONY
Mr. John P. Lindsay is a merchant of many
years experience in NcwYOTk. He never held
Office; but when Mr.. Grinnell was appointed
Collector of the Port, Mr. Lindsay was invited
to assist that gentleman with his friendly adj
vice and practical wisdom. Throughout Mr.
Grinnell's term of Office no was the Collectors
confidential agent and counselor. He saw
how that honest and high minded functionary
tried in vain to break up the system of assess
ing clerks and tide-waiters for campaign ex-
penses, how he put down extOrtiOnate charges
upon the commerce of the city, and punished
every man whom he detected taking bride.
He saw finally how MIR. Grinnell " - superseded
by Mr.. Thomas Murphy, and he was at pains to
search out the causes Of his removal. When the
Committee Of Investigation asked him yeser-
day what secret influence had been exerted
against Mr.. Grnncll, he replied 81 had rather

Ai[MEHTY IN Tile SEN1TE.

We hear with satisfaction that Mr.. Sumner
has decided to Withdraw his pending amend
ment TO tho House Amnesty bill now before
the Senate, seeing that his measure is likely to
encounter grave opposition, and that any Am
nesty bill requires an affirmative vote of two
thirds of all who vote upon it to make it a
law. Mr.. Summers heart is set on securing to
the Colored race equal privileges with Whites
in hotels in railroad cars on steamboats, and
in all public 'conveyances and he does not feel
safe in exposing this measure to the chances
of defeat IA aggravated by the requirements of
two-thrds majority. This ia ntrnsically 80
probable that we give it ready credence.
Hereupon, we entreat the Senate to reject
all amendments, including that already adopt
ed. and pass the bill exactly as it came from
tbe House. That ia not what we would have
IT, since it excerpts and excludes from Amnesty
several specified classes, numbering in the
ap1re0ate two or three thousand persons.
But since the seventh year since the war
ended ia running to its close, it does seem
that measure of General Amnesty should no
longer be delayed. And, since delays. and
higgling and grudging reservations, tend to
depriye such an act of all its grace and sweet
ness, we beg that the senate taKe up INC Dill
forthwith, reject all amendments, and pass it
az the House has shaped it. We can then
consider at leisure what further action in this
field is required and when it shall be perfected.
The amendment already adopted by the
Senate can have but one objeCt-to keep Gov.
Vance Of North Carolina out of the seat to
which he was elected a year ago. If the Senate
shall, on full consideration, approve this sort
of legislation nothing will remain but acqui-
escence, since the House will hardly care to
override tho coordinate body on O matter
which directly affects that bedy'5 own COM
position. That the Republican cause in North
Carolina will be discredited and damaged by
legislation 80 special and invidious, we cannot
doubt but it were idle to urge a truth so
palpable. We must cherish the hope that the
Senate will not remain blind to it.

The Rev. Dr. Peabody of Harvard College, who
preached the annual sermon before the General
Court of Massachusetts, last Wednesday. took for his
text, "Thou shalt notsteal" HIS subject was " the
growing jealousy of large properties, and the in-
creasing disposition to legal depreciation on them"
He argued that if rich men be, as many of them
are truly benevolent their wealth furnishes certain
kinds OF endowment for the general good which,
from their very nature could not DO expected from
any aggregation Of small charities. DR.. Peabody
argued that rich men whose only aim is accumula-
ton are benefactors since they do not hoard their
wealth but keep it In perpetual circulation in sus
tanning industrial operations of every kind Prop
erty is assailed by recklessly contracted public
debts by over taxation for current public expenses
and by combinations and party organizations of labor

threatening of war with Spain. The deter

those said to have been committed on the
Florida by Spanish cruiser would involve
the preparation Of a considerable naval force
for sea. The display of these armed ships
would not be a menace TO Spain. nor even an
imitation of Spanish buster, but a necessary
precautionary measure. Still. we are told in
