1t is doubtful if anything will come
of it, but there is some satisfaction in know
ing that the coroner's jury which has been
investigating the Chicago and Alton rail-
road slaughter has rendered toleraby
righteous verdict. The collision was man
iiestly caused by the criminal carelessness
of the conductor and engineer of the coal
train, and the coroner's jury says SO in
plain language. The arrest of these two

much if they are ever brought to trial.
They deserve trial and conviction as much
as any wholesale murderers possibly could,
and so do those officers of the Potomac
steamer Wawasset, whose ignorance and
carelessness concerning everything pertain
ing to the safety Of their passengers has
been painfully and prominently brought
out by the investigation now in progress at
Washington.

If existing treaties are sufficient to have
justified this arrest Of Gordon, had they

Gordon should be surrendered by the Brit.

1t is rumored that the Portland Il Og-

way Of the Central Vermont, and relief
from financial endorsements by trying to
effect a lease of their property to the same

fattering report Of the Directors Of the
Portland & Ogdeusburg road, and the
successful and ample refutation, by the en-.
gineer, of the opinions of Mr.. Poor, Of

After long period Of comparative
immunity from accidents by sea and shore,
the Wawasset disaster seems to have open
ed the ball anew. Since that occurrence
an almost daily succession Of railroad dis

sufferers by the Wawasset, from $50 to
200 men aud women have been drowned,
scalded, crushed and blown to death by
the various accidents adyerted to within
two weeks. If we add the forty persons
killed by the railroad accident In England
at Wigan and Retford, the result is a very
respectable immolation to the Juggernaut

fond of calling the steam engine. More

The Pittsburg Gazette says that Gen

The squabbling politicians over the
spoils and plumber in Louisiana have re-
duced that naturally rich and bountiful
State to a most deplorable condition As
represented by Mr.. McEnery in appeal to
the people to get up State Convention for
the purpose Of making an appeal to Con-
gress for the removal Of the Kellogg State
government, in community where com.
merce is decaying and agriculture is de-
moralized, aud capital with mercurial
wings, is flying away, and real estate is de-
pressed and preciated Fifty per cent under
Kellogg's administration, something must
be done But an appeal to Congress for
help against Kellogg we fear will be only
the cartman's appeal to Hercules over
again. The people Of Louisiana, in COM
mon sense aud practical, business.like way,
must take the righting Of their wrongs into
their own hands, and to this end State
Convention may do something; but to call
convention for the purpose of a petition
to Congress will be time and labor thrown
away.

cotton crop is especially promising and it

largo all over the country, except in few
places where local causes have affected it
injuriously. A considerable increase over
the amount carried to market last year may
be reasonably anticipated. The tobacco crop

to it. The potatoe crop will be larger
than last year, and hay and vegetables are
generally good. The fruit crop is light

understand that the meetings at North

useful. We have not formed any decisive
opinions on the value Of such meetings in
general, though they may be open to ques-

Christ held them on the slopes of the
mountains, there were no public halls large
enough to entertain the crowds that followed
him. A New England climate is also
somewhat more severe than the temperature

The Lightning that accompanies sum.

hrge number Of people, yet, in reality, the
LANCER Of loss Of life from Lightning is
very much less than from railway or steam
boat disasters, from fire or drowning or
many other forms Of violent or accidental
death The Genus shows that in the year
1870 there were only 202 deaths in the en-.
tire country from lightning stroke. Out of
an aggregate Of nearly 100000 deaths
from all causes, there were but one out Of
every ll37 that caused by lightning.
Or putting the case in another form, there
was but one person cut Of every 1870, ss3
killed by Lightning stroke or the 202
persons killed only 81 were females. Sun
stroke kills more people than lightning,
there having been 397 deaths from this
cause during 1870. There we're also in
1870, 1914 deaths from suicide, so that the
chance Of being killed by lightning is only
about oue-seveuth as great as dying by sui

Patrons of Husbandry.

The growth Of this organization Of far
mers has been quito remarkable. There
are now in the United States, as we stated
last week, about five thousand Oranges, om-
bracing membership Of more than four
hundred thousand To some extent they
have different objects in different localities,
and doubtless many Of them have very
crude and il.d,fned ideas Of the evils they
are designed to remedy Certainly they
are not altogether harmonious in their ac-
ton so far as politics is concerned. 1t
seems that the organization originally took
decided grounds against governing this
movement into a political organization, but
as its numbers and powers have increased,
10 some localities the Oranges have felt
disposed to throw their weight into the
political scales. 10 one State at least, the
chief officer Of the State organization has
issued very emphatic orders against such
ucllNNt htNidiiuS " NvhfiolN W e"V 'Fh'
and letter Of the constitution and calculat.
edio impair the usefulness Of the orgaui-
cation. The division Of sentiment upon
this question is liable to seriously affect
the Oranges, which are now very numer-
Gus, and must exert a powerful influence il
united in action. 10 lowe, at least, they
must embrace a liberal share Of the voting
population, and would require but It'll,
outside help to poll majority Of votes. Ia
some Of the other States they evidently hold
the balance of power, and could throw vic
tory uron either side by united action. Al
present it docs not seem probable that the
organization can be used in this manner
They will probably exercise sufficient iu'
fuence in the nomination Of Legislative
and Congressional candidates to secure tn,
election Of their friends Beyond this, the
leaders Of the organization do not seem dis
rosod to 90.
