THE BRAVE ENGINEER AND FIREMAN.
William D. Guild, the engineer on
the train at the time of the Richmond
Switch Or. l. disaster, of which we
gave an account recently, could not
have perceived the break long before
the dreadful moment came. But though
he might have made an effort to escape,
he stayed firm, shut off the steam, ap-
piled the brake, and went to his death
with his face to the front. He was in
stantly killed, probably by the steam
from the broken boiler. Through the
cab window his body could be seen
burning, and when at last the fire was
subdued and his charred remains were
found, his hand still grasped the throttle.
The body of the fireman, George Eldred,
was found as he persisted, the coal SHOW
ell in his hands, as if he was just put
ting coal in the furnace. According to
all accounts Guild was noble fellow,
and lived as he had died, with the conf
dence and honor of all that knew him.
His home was in that part of Providence
known as Elmwood, his house being
close to the railroad crossing. When
ever he passed this spot, whether in day.
light or darkness, he used to sound a
short peculiar signal on the locomotive
whistle as a greeting to his wife and a
notification that he was "all right
Year in and year out that signal never
failed. The regular passengers came
to know it, and on hearing it would say,
There's Guilds signal to his wife. -
Saturday she missed it for the first time
and will never hear it again. George
Eldred, the fireman, had many friends
and was highly esteemed. He was en-
gagged to be married to a young woman
in Westerly.

soN.-CoopERsTowN, N. Y, Dec. 49,
Hon. Samuel Nelson, ex-Judgc of the
United States Supreme Court, died
suddenly of apopIexy, while sitting
in his chair, at half-past | o'clock this
afternoon, at his residence in this place
Ex-Juotioo Nelson Was u native oil

ADVICE TO THE New CoNGREss.-
The road to honesty, good govern.
mont, and right legislation is difficult
and laborious. Tho road to corrup-
tion, stealing, aud ruin is easy and
may seem pleasant. Nevertheless the
former road is the only sato one to
follow.
Practioe' economy, avoid jobs, save
the peoples money, deal mcrcilessly
with public robbers, and tho people
will approve and will keep you in
power; but the ol Josite limo Of con-
duct will be detected and surely pun
ished. The punishment may be do
layed, butitis certain. Tweed thought
it would DO delayed forever; but he
knows better now. fDa
Keep your hands and everybody
olse's hands out Of tho Treasury. The
people arc in distress, aud will not
patiently bear any scheme for incrcas-
ing the public debt and adding 10 their
burdens. Cut down expenses, post.
pone all splendid undertakings, and
take in sail. No Credit Mobiliers, no
postal telegraphs, no post Office snviugs
banks, no back pay or forward.pay
swindlers, no saddIng Of bankrupt
projects upon the Treasury Now Is
the time for stopping and setting up,
and not for launching out in spccula-
tons. Conservatism, caution, hold.

Tue SUPREME JUpaEs.--For the first
time in the history of Pennsylvania
the Judges of the Srprome Court re-
cognized apolitical party and actively
participated in partisan meeting
This they did in the most emphatic
way by writing fayoring letters to the
And-Constitulion meeting in Phila.
dclphia. Two circumstances make
this fragrant offence. First, because
they expressed adverse opinions on a
legal instrument which they may be
called on to construe, thus virtually
pre,judging legal case. Second, bo-
cause they had already decided in the
Philadelphia case adversely to the or
dinanco for submitting the Constitu-
ton to vote. Every precedent in the
history of the Judiciary was thus vio-
lated. They not only arranged them
selves on the side of corruption by en-
deavoring TO prevent a fair vote in
Philadelphia, but in so doing declared
that the people of Pennsylvania, were
the subjects, serls, and slaves Of their
Legislative servants.
10 crown this iniquity they have
had tho audacity to descend to the
arena of political contest and TO a CON-
bat wagcd against corruption.
Terms OF delcstaiion are wanting
to express The adherence Of every
honest man for such conduct. 1t is q
depth of basencss unparalleled.
