A New WAY TO CELEERATE.-Ani i'm
practical enthusiast, in San Francisco
paper, proposes that the people of the
Poetic States celebrate the nsEt Nation
al Anniversary by adopting he national
currency as the basis of all monetary
transactions. The writer .Afifhs the
existence Of a "gold coin ring" and
declares that business men are at the
mercy of it. He says that whenever
gold is easy, our DIES CRYING merchants
and mechanics can get what is called
accommodation, say, thirty to sixty
days, at one per cent. per month, or on
call, to be pressed the moment the wires
report demand on Wall street for the
"oro." The change, he says, should
have been made at the close of the war.
Had it been done, at least one hundred
millions of capital would have been
invited to this side of the Rocky Noun
tains, which has remained in. the East.
Manufacturers would have prospered,
real estate would have been sustained,
and advanceds BEAUTIFULLY, and young
men, maturing to business years, would
have, what is not now to be had, save
east of the Rocky Range, encourage
ment to exercise their talent and ener-
gles. ir.. .r TO-: 49, 'T5- .,-'t

cONNECTiCUT..


SroN1NGroN, (Conn.) April 19.-The
steamer Sioni,,gton arrived here this
morning with ITO passengers, who took
trains for Providence and Boston. A
dam across q small stream had been
carried away by the water from Elnis
Pond down upon the railroad bridge To-
Gated 300 feet distant completely
washing it away. No one lived near
the pond, so the breaking of the dam
was not known until the train was
thrown into the chasm. William Guild,
engineer, and George Eldridge, firemen,
died at their posts. Their remains have
been taken from the wrecked engine.
The killed are very much disfgured.
Seven bodies have been recovered. The
conductor escaped. Thomas Kelan,,
brakeman, was seriously wounded in
the thigh; all the other brakemen es-
capped with slight injuries" The killed
tas for as recognized are: Albert Allen
Of Providence, Jerry Cormerer of Bos-
ton, John Callahan of New York.
About 135 passengers were wounded
some very seriously. It is thought
several bodies were washed down the
stream, as the flood was probably at its
hight. The engine made fearful leap,
passing over the stream and embedding
itselfin the opposite bank. Only three
passenger cars were burned. The gen.
eral estimate of tho number killed is
from eight to twelve.
New York, April 2O.-A special gives
additional particulars of the Stonington
Railroad disaster. The train left Ston-
ington thirty-five minutes late, and was
running at the rate of forty miles IN
hour. AS it approached the bridge
the fireman and engineer saw the wa
terry gulf before, but too late to pre-
vent the disaster or save their own lives
by leaping from the engine. The To-
connective jumped the gap, about thirty
feet wide, and landed on the other side
plunging into the bank with such force
MS to wreck it completely. The engineer
William Guild, when discovered was
between the dliving-wheel and the en-
CINE, there being inst enough Of his
body left to identity him. Fireman
Eldridge was crushed to a jelly. About
eighty passengers were on. board, and
the scene CAN be better imagined than
described, as the overturned stoves and
lamps set fire to the woodwork and
cries for assistance rent the air. Some
escaped out through the windows below,
while many were, pulled out of the wa
ter. One man, with his body partly
out of the window, could extricate him
self no further, and was calling wildly,
- Oh! save me! I an burning to deathwi
His screams aud means We're not heed
ed, and death put an end to his suffer-
ings. When Mr.. Allan met his death
he was standing on the front platform
of a car, and as the train struck, his
foot was caught in the coupling-iron,
and in this condition DO was burned to
death. g.

RErRfBUToS.-It will be seen that
the Mcdocs are receiving a just punish
ment for the treachery and barbaurity
practiced upon the Peace Commission
few days ago. It is probable that
they will be totally exterminated, as
the murder Of Gen. Candy has ar
reused the sluggish nature of the Ad-
ministration, and opened the eyes Of
those in authority to the enormity OF
their conduct. So long as the muir
ders were confined to private citizens
there appeared to be no hope of retail
iatory measures being adopted, but
soon as prominent men are made the
victims Of savage atrocitS the affair
speadily assumes different shape. In
this view of the matter, it cannot be
said that Gen. Candy and DIR. Thomas
have died in vain. Their saerifcc may
prove q 1aeting blessing to the interior
settlers, who have uever been safe from
thu dspredations of these savares

OCEAN STEAMER Couric,. pro-
fesses to have information that the Ore
gon Steamship Co. contemplate placing
the Idaho on aroute between San Fran
cisco and the Sound ports, and init
mates that Olympia will be one of the
terminal points, if wharf is built to
deep water. We hope the statement
has some foundation in truth, but con-
fess that we have little faith in any pro-
ject mooted for the public benefit, since
the failure of score of schemes, either
of which would have tended to re-
lieve the present stagnation Of business
enterprise. The Long Wharf, the
Black Lake Canal, the Merchants
Transportation Co., and a number Of
other projects that bid fair to secure
popular support, are numbered among
the things that we're, after all the news
paper putting and advertising that was
essential to inaugurate enterprises of
much greater magnitude. If the Ore
gon Steamship Company mean business,
they have the cordial support Of the
community, but if it is only another at
tempt to revive hopes that may not be
realized We hope the fact may become
apparent before it enlists our undivided
sympathy.

81 This unfortunate state of affairs can
have but one termination, to reduce the
citizens to still lower condition and
further abridge their privileges. The
result will, of course, be in. favor of the
strongerparty. Might will rule, though
Right may struggle for time with the
energy of desperation. Alas! the time
has not yet come when Justice may
safely arbitrate upon questions involv-
ns"party necessity" The people of
the subjugnted States are powerless to
extricate themselves from the difficulties
that surround them. The Government
treats only with Indians for peace. 1t
will put down the Louisiana troubles
by the bayonet, without the intercn-
yention Of peace commissioners. They
must submit, ,humiiating as it may be,
to have their rights trampled upon .
their dearest privileges ignored, Until
the nation awakens from it's lethargy.
Isit not strange that such things can
