The strong language which was used in the
German Reichstag on Saturday is better CAL
culated than most incidents, which we have
recently had. to show the bitterness of the
contest between the civil and ecclesiastical
authorities in Germany. Prince Bismarck's
speech leaves very little ground to expect a
reconciliation during his term Of office.
New-York tribune., 1874-12-07

From all that we can hear, the incoming
Governor has made an excellent selection in
choosing Mr.. Stebbins of CazenOvia, for his
private secretary. He is commended by those
who know him well. as lawyer of ability,
and q man who goes INTO politics for the public
interest and not his own.

A letter from Ex-Governor Walker gives the
details of a system of intimidation in Florida
by which it is alleged that some of the sue
cessful candidates to the Legislature are to be
held in durance till after its organization.
The letter indicates that the tactics adopted
by the Kellogg ring in Louisiana will be car
ried out in Florida unless prompt measures
are taken to prevent such villalny. The first
step towards checking these abuses is their ex-
DOSure,

The list of new directors named for the
management of the Brooklyn bridge includes
some good men; but whether they are suf-
ficient to leaven the large proportion of the
old lump still left in office, is open to doubt.
1t seems to be impossible to bring together
full set of Trustworthy men for this business
in Brooklyn; but on the whole the new Board
is an improvement on the old.

The report of the Secretary of the Treasury,
from what is fOresnadOwed appears to be
document of unusual force. He does not sat-
isfy himself with merely recommending specie
payments, but gives particulars of plan for
reaching them, including the repeal of the
Legal-Tcndcr act at a certain day; the re-
placing of fractional currency with silver as
fast as possible, and the fixing of time, not
more than three years distant, for the
resumption of specie payment. We hope
Mr.. BristOw's suggestions may be as fruitful
as they are definite. The report contributes
a valuable chapter to political economy by
showing that the reduction of tariff on tea
and coffee, while depriving our Government
of from six to twelve million dollars revenue,
entirely failed to diminish the cost of his
breakfast to the consumer The Secretary s
agreement with the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue about abOlishing stamps on checks,
matches, &C., will meet the popular favor J;
and few will disagree with the sentiment that
we are in no further need of such elaborate
and costly edifces as Mr. Mullett was engaged
in erecting.

Saturdays bank statement was something of
surprise to those who have not been closely
watching the currents of business In round
numbers we have three millions less specie
than week ago, three millions less legal
tender, three millions less deposits, and four
millions more loans. The specie has gone to
England, the greenbacks have gone South, and
the volume of loans is swelled by the neces-
sites of the season. But the banks are
practically down to their twenty-five per cent
reserve; and the increase of the loans, in the
face of the loss of specie and legal tenders,
is not a thing to be regarded with satisfac-
ton.

There is a gloomy prospect ahead for Pitts
burgh. strike of the puddlers has caused
the closing of all the furnaces and rolling
mills, throwing $1,000 to 10000 men out of en-
ployment, and stopping the distribution of
100000 week in wages The reduction of
wages proposed by employers was not very
great; but the puddlers could not stop to dis
cuss the question; they determined on the
strike at once.

GRANT AND SIBERIAN

The removal of the Headquarters of
the United States Army, by General
Sherman, from Washington City to
st. Louis, is exciting comment in all
sections, and it is pretty broadly
limited that the personal relations be-
tween the President and the General
commanding the armies are not as cor
dial as they formerly were. Some of
the unterrifed have gone SO far indeed
as to insinuate that Grant and Sherman
have grown SO great that this poor
little world of ours is not large enough
for both of them, or at any rate that
the Capital City of the best govern
ment the world ever saw is not large
enough for them both to live and
move and have their beings comforta-
bly, in. But this is the way with up
starts all the world over. Just as sure
as one of them, by fair means or by foul,
acquires little temporary prosperity
and raises himself above his accustomed
level he straightway begins to put on
airs and actually to fancy that there is
neither room nor need for any one in
the community save himself, at least
in his line of business. So with Grant
and Sherman. It has been said, how
ever, that the first cause of difference
between Grant and Sherman grew out
of Sherman's refusal to appoint the
Presidents son, Prince Fred, to pc
sit;on upon his staff. Sheridan was
more complaisant and We hear no
rumors of any rupture between him
and the President.

Correspondence OF the journal
The Railroad Disaster.

Editors Journal:
OF course you have the main par
ticulars of the late terrible railroad
casualty.
The section master, Hunnicutt, is
mainly responsible for the accident,
he failing to obey orders to go over his
section after every heavy rain, to ex-
anime, &c.
The rain of Tuesday evening was
one of the heaviest ever known here,
and all familiar with railroads felt
there was danger, but supposed the
road would be properly examined be-
fore the passage of any trains. No ex-
Mr.. P. Ratliff saw, at least two
hours before train time, that the cul-
vert was washed out, but only waved
his handkerchief at distance of fifty
wards from the track as the train
passed his mill half a mile above the
fatal place. Poor Calvin and his fire
man, Mingo, both saw him, but
Thought that he only intended it as
salute to the excursionists.
In striking contrast with this is the
conduct of Tom Wall, colored, who by
mere chance learned of the damage to
the track and ran two miles to give
warning bnt, alas, he was five minutes
too late. He heard the train rushing
on and heard the crash, and then fell
exhausted.
The death of Calvin is greatly re-
gretted. He was well and favorably
known, having been on the road for
many years, and was selected to run
this long excursion train on account OF
his proverbial carefulness and pru-
dence.
| His last words were spoken to me.

THE SW A$EY YSUIT-DECISlON Os,
THE COURT.

We give below an epitome of the
decision Of the United States Court il
the Swazey suit, taken from the
Raleigh Crescent. The condensation
was made by the Chief Justice him.
self, says the Crescent, and therefore
covers all the main points of the
opinion.
SWAZEY CASE.
The stock subscribed for by the
State in the North Carolina Railroad
Company was pledged for the redemp-
tlon of the certificates of debt issued
to borrow money to pay the subscrip-
tioa. It was pledged by the charter
Of the Company and consequently the
corporation holds the stock for the
bondholders and the State according
to their respective interests.
The certificates of debt bind the
State for the payment of the pril cipal
and the interest The stock being
pledged as security for the certificates
is held both for the principal and the
interest.
The courts of the United States are
not ousted of their jurisdiction in a
cause because a State appears to be
interested in the subject matter Of the
litigation.
By the constitution a State cannot
be sued in the Courts of the United
States. but this prohibition extends
only to causes in which a State is
party to the record. If property in
tie hands of agents or the agents hav
ing it in charge can be brought within
the jurisdiction, actions in respect to
such property can be maintained in
the absence of the State as party
upon the record.
This suit can be maintained to sub
ject the stock to the payment of the
debt for which it is pledged with the
Railroad Company as party to rep
resent it. This was evidently the un-
derstanding of the parties when the
money was borrowed. The faith of
the State was pledged for the payment
of principal and interest. But that
security could not be made available |
if payment should be refused. The /
stock was on that account pledged Sin
but it was not additional
security if it could not be enforced. A
lien which cannot be enforced is of no |
value as security.
So much of the stock as is necessary |
to pay part due interest is ordered to
be sold unless on or before April 1st,
1875, the State shall in good faith pro-
vide the means for its payment by tax
alton or otherwise.
