owing to the reticence of the directors. 1t is
said that work will be resumed in the spring
The road has advanced too far towards CON-
pletion to be abandoned.
The improved Whitman tie is attracting at
tention The device consists simply Of put
ting blocks of oak, bored for spikes, into the
cedar beams at the ends where the rail rests,
tirus making it wear under rail as long as the
life of the tic which is about twelve years In
the present condition of affairs removal OF
all the ties on ordinary roads is necessary
every four or FIVE years, not because the wood
is decayed, but because it is worn under the
iron. BY Mr.. Whitmans invention the oak
bears all the pressure, there is no vertical
strain imposed upon the spike, and as the
blocks are inserted with the grain running
the same way as that of the stick itself there
is no shrinking or working loose. The in
vcntion was first tested in Maine three years
ago, and has been adopted by the Maine Cen
trail Railroad and Endorsed by the Portland
4 Ogdensburg aud numbers of eminent rail
road authorities.

The Boston Globe has come to the conclu-
sion, since the recent elections, that the in
difference of majorities is an evil more
injurious than the tyranny of majorities to
the cause of political honesty and reform. 1t
seeks 10 show the Importance of a more direct
and vital in,crcs, than is felt Mt present by
the Republicans throughout the country in
the success of the party, and suggests that the
danger is that the existing Indifference will
increase until important issues 60 by default,
and the party learns too late the evil of tam
pering nth its duties and opportunities. The
remedy for the evil, it says, must be found in
a better appreciation of the duties and respon-
sbilities of the citizen, and until the people
are educated up to this point, it fears that we
shall have to bear the reproach and the dan
ger OF the very unsatisfactory state of things
at present existing.

British government had praeticed toward

not in the main have sided with the insur-

newspapers here had then dealt in 4 spirit
of fairness with our transatlantic kinSmen,
the dispute settled by the treaty OF 1872
would not have arisen. The conduct OF

WOMAN SUFFRAGE RESOLTES.

The following are the resolutions in full
passed by the American Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION at its recent anniversary in New
York:
RESOLVED, That the primary aim of the
American Woman Suffrage Association is to
secure the ballot for oman; while j, includes
in its general aim, the establishment of her
equality Of rights in all directions.
RESOLVED, That one-half of the adult pop
ulaton of the United States who are legally
entitled to hold property, who are assessed
for taxes and punishable for crime, and
whose interest in the Commonwealth is in
no respect less than that of the other half.
should not be deprived of an equal voice in
the Government.
RESOLVED, That a government of the peo
pie must be a government composed equally
OF men and women, inasmuch as the equal
cooperation of the sexes is essential alike to
a happy home, refined society, Christian
church and a republican State.
RESOLVED, That our present political sys-
tenn is not fairly representative, even Of men,
being largely controlled in the primary meet
ngs by rings of trading politicians intent on
private gain; that political reform must enlist
more general interest on the part of the
people in the management of public business !;
and that this would be greatly promoted by
combining the social sympathy and CO. opera
ton of women in the primary meetings, at the
polls, and in the halls of legislation.
RESOLVED, That we advise the friends OF
woman suffrage in every locality to promote
the movement morally and politically, by
organizing local societies, for circulating
tracts and newspapers, for holding public
meetings, and especially for helping to elect
the friends of suffrage and to defeat its
enemies.
Resolved, That the woman suffrage move
ment, like every other reform of the age
laments the loss and honors the memory of its
most powerful advocate. John Stuart Mill"

ANDREW JoHNSo.S REVIVED.

The expected speech of Andrew john
was delivered at Washington on Thursday
evening. After four years of retirement
sway down in Tennessee Mr. johnson
ought to have been able to furnish some
thing better than one of his old threadbare
speeches But the burden of his story
was that ancient, oft-repeated and well
worn complaint about the destruction of
the Constitution, which he raised at the
time Congress interfered with his high
handed proceedings in regard to the re-
construction of the Southern States. That
was an act on the part of Congress which
Mr.. johnson will never forgive. From
that moment he tuned his harp to a lament
upon the downfall of the Constitution, and
much we have heard of it since.
On financial matters he had something
to say. Doubtless the loss of $4,000 in
the panic was the occasion Of this little de-
parture from the refrain about the dilapi
dated Constitution and the despots in Con
gress, and lent vigor to the denuncia,ions
which he hurled at the government. There
is nothing makes men feel a money panic
SO sensibly as when it rifles their pockets
OF course Imperialism, C@sarism anc
Napoleonistic high jinks, being related
very intimately to assaults upon the Con-
stitution and the loss of deposits by the
failure of banks, had to come in for a
share of the speakers attention. But the
speech was fiat as well as stale. For the
man who when President undertook to re-
construct all the southern States without
asking the advice or consent of Congress,
to charge with C@sarism President
Grant, who has shown himself care
full to respect the rights of Congress and
the will OF the people, is not perform
ance that is decent. We believe Mr..
johnson has metaphorically wrapped him
self in the Constitution quite a number of
times, and in its folds fought, bled and
died over and over again, but we cannot
help thinking every time he appears in
public to repeat the operation that it would
have been grand thing for his reputation
could he have died in reality before he
became President. Mr.. Johnson's credit
has rapidly deteriorated since that period,
so that at present what he says is of but
little consequence to anybody.
