WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.

WASHINGTON, Dec, %.
GENERAL TERRY PLACED IN COMMAND AT
NEW ORLEANS.
The President to -daV removed Gen.
Emory and put Gen. Terry in his place.
Gen. Sheridans's order directs him to
proceed to New Orleans; and a condi-
tional order was also sent him, author
izing him to take command in case
such an emergency arose, as, in his
Judgment, would make it proper to
do so.
THE PRESIDENT WILL BE FIRM.
The President is very decided in re-
gard to the course he intends to pur-
sue. Whatever authority he has under
the Constitution of laws, will, hence
forth, be most vigorously exercised
to preserve order, cause obedience to
the national laws and protect life and
property. He is advised by the At
torney General to use the armv and
navy to uphold the Kellogg Govern
ment, and to execute the provisions
of the Enforcement Act.
1t is quite evident that the purpose
here, on the part of the President is
to sustain both the Kellogg govern
ment and the Returning Board, and
that, if the citizens of Louisiana at
tempt to use force against the acti on
of either, the United States soldiers
will be used to put down such upris-
ing against the lawful authority.
BOTH PARTIES EXPECT BLooDsHED.
1t is known that Democratic infu-
ences have been actively exerted from
this point to prevent any outbreak al
New Orleans, lest it should injure the
party; but it is also fact that these
Democratic leaders have but little hope
of success, ara both sides here are in
daily expectation Of news of riot and
bloodshed.
THE VICKsBURG ATROCITIES
Gentlemen of recognized standing,
who have arrived from the vicinity of
Vicksburg, bring fuller details of the
slaughter there than have yet been re-
ceived. These accounts leava no room
whatever to doubt that the whole af.
fair was cowardly butchery, unrelieved
by the least shadow of excuse.
The members of the Congressional
Committee will, on their arrival, be
put in possion of Information which
will enable them to fix the responsi
bility upon the proper parties.

Some Of the Democratic papers
and politicians have been feeding the
vanity of Gov. Allen with the idea
that the democratic party design MAX
ing him their candidate for the Presi-
dency. We believe the men who real
ly make Democratic candidates have
no serious idea of doing any such
thing, as they know very well that his
chances for an election to the Presi
dency would be no more probable than
they are of his accession to the throne
England.

SPEED AND SAFETY.

President Palmer also writes: GAS
before stated, the trains, both freight
and passenger, run on the Denver and
Rio Grande Railway at the same rate
of speed as on all wide gauge roads
west of the Missouri river.
AS regards safety, the cars are no more
likely to upset than on the wide
gauge roads, because the center Of
gravity is lowered. There
is one respect in which the narrow
gauge car is undoubtedly safer to
travel in than the wide gauge-that is
in the reduction of momentum, which
is the measure of the difficulty ofstop-
ping its headway in case of danger, as
well as of the concussiOn in case of
collision or being thrown from the
track. To carry 100 passengers on a
narrow gauge road, the weight of the
cars would be Is tons, instead of
about SO tons as on the broad gauge,
consequently the momentum of the
same speed would be but little over
one. half"
Colonel Greenwood, Chief Engineer
of the Denver and Rio Grande Rail
way, claims that for going around
curves, cars hold to the track more
firmly on the narrow gauge than on
the broad gauge.
WHAT IS THE NARROW GAUGE PIT Is
NOT A, NEW IDEA.
The width of Narrow Gauge Rail
Roads in Europe and the United
States is not uniform; but after years
of practical tests, the general judg-
ment of the best narrow gauge engi-
neers is that the three feet should be
adopted.
The narrow gauge for railways is
not an experiment 1t has been de-
monstrated success in Europe for
many years; whilst in the United
States, as is shown by the following
tnble, it has been much more widely
adopted than has been generally sup
posed:
