THE GREAT COMNIONER.
Scenes at the Tennessee Capital.

Opeclal to the Appeal.
The spectators could hardly control
themselves, when Johnsons vote of fifty
two was announced; yell after yell was
given, and for minute or so the uproar
was deafening. The members arose, but
the applause continued, for the crowd
was frantic with wild delight. and two
thousand voices shouted forth the tidings
of Johnson's victory. At last order was
restored
Speaker Paine announced the result of
the ballot, and declared Andrew johnson
elected. Then another mightier shout
went up, and the solid walls of Tennes-
sees magnificent Capitol seemed almost
to culver as the fierce yells of maddened
enthusiasm resounded through the halls.
The news spread with lightning rapidity,
for the victorious yell was heard far over
the city, and wherever the glad tidings
were waited men rejoiced and waived
their hats.
Mr.. Taylor, member from Carter, i'm
mediately left the Capitol, and, running
at full speed to the Maxwell House,
rushed upstairs, bursting open the door
of Mr.. Johnson's room, fell exhausted
on the floor, and was merely able to say
fifty-two. Mr.. johnson not recognizing
what he meant, Col. Willoughby Viii
liams being present, asked the gentleman
if the ex-President was elected. By this
time crowd of people rushed into Mr..
Johnson's room, and amid yells of de-
! light informed him that he was elected.
He grew pale, for the old gentleman was
visibly affected, and no sooner had Mr.
Taylor said, " You are elected" than he
replied, Well, well, and the tremulous
tones of the honored man of Tennessee
evoked another yell from the crowd in his
room, and in the lofty swell of the glad
some congratulation the ex-President for
got that he was SO old, and a smile of
delight and resignation, mingled with a
sense of pride and victory, lit his face,
and he was indeed happy, for he had
won a mighty victory. His room was
thereafter crowded, and among those
who came to congratulate him was Gen
eral Bate. During the evening countless
kilograms congratulating Mr.. johnson
were received and read The following
was among the number:
COLUMBUS, ONO, January 26, rs.
To A,edreaU Johnson, Senator Elect from
| Tennessee.
Accept the congratulations of the Dem
ocratic members of the Sixty-First Gen
eral Assembly of Ohio. May you ever
remain true to the people who have
elected you. GEO. L. CONVERSE,

The Presidents Admissions.

From the n. Y. Herald.
The President has been compelled to
admit and declare that amy military in
reference by the officers and troops of
the United States with the organization
of State Legislature, or any of its pro-
ceedings, is repugnant to our ideas of
government" The President goes on to
say, 81 can conceive of no case, not in
volving rebellion or insurrection, where
such interference by the military authori-
ty of the general government ought to be
permitted, or can bejustified.' . There was
neither rebellion nor insurrection in Lou
isiana on the 4th of January, and conse-
quently there was no justification, by the
Presidents own admissions, for federal
interference with the Legislature of the
State.

KSetren cfnlent and Reform.

From the Brookhaven Citizen, (Rep)1
We are highly gratifed at the active
steps being now taken by the Legislature
to reduce the taxes. Republicans and
Conservatives are atwork cutting down sal
aries and reducing the number of officers,
and are seemingly determined to overhaul
every department. Go on with the good
work Listen not to the blood-suckers
and ofice-holders No doubt they are at
jackson working for their selfinterests.
Let the knife come down deep with pain
to get out the disease, and save the body
of the people.

bility of irregularity among the employees.
Men who arc sober all she rest OF the year
sometimes vary from their habits on the Fourth
of july. There was the disorder due to
great crowd of passengers, and there
was also q known additional source of danger,
an actual delay in starting from Williams
burgh. But there was a telegraph line along
side the road by means of which the position
Of the train that started from Williamsburgh
could have been known before the other left
Rockaway. Neither in the knowledge OF the
danger nor in the means of averting it, was
the management of the line wanting.
At the recent meeting of civil engineers at
Pittsburgh, the statement was made ana cor
roborated by several speakers that defective
system of signals was the chief cause OF rail-
way accidents. But when improved systems
were urged on railway managers, they were
apt to reply that the present methods
suited their purpose. The present case
is the second grave accident on this road.
These facts point to common cause.
This accident could not have occurred upon
double track. In NewYOrk State there can
not be many instances where single track
railroad is a necessity. On such road an ac-
cdent is only question of time, and though
it may be long delayed, as it was in the
case of the old Camden and Amboy
Railroad it is sure to come at
last TO abolish single track passenger rail-
roads in this State by law, would not be more
arbitrary than the act which prohibits high
pressure steamboats, to carry passengers on
New-York waters. That act has certainly Sc
cured measure of safety on our River and
Sound.

| II he only had mt talked 80 much For there's
ever and ever so much more OF it, and all Of
it just as pretty as anything we have quoted.
The summing up of it is-really we do not quite
make it Out-the language is so beautiful that
we get lost in it and forget the dea-but there
must be something of that sort somewhere in
it, and we think possibly it may be that Pres
ton is in favor of war or something. He must
be very able person. But how lonesome!
We are told that this very powerful address
was not well received; that the Alumni treated
it as very absurd nonsense that following it,
very patriotic addresses were made by Gov.
Kemper Of Virginia and Senator Bayard OF
Delaware, breathing the most thorough loyalty
to the Union, and taking ground Numerically
opposed to Mr.. PrestOns position, and that the
Star Spangled Banner was afterward played
by the band, for the first time since 1860, and
received with tremendous enthusiasm. This is
too bad for had it been otherwise the address
might have been quoted as an expression OF
Southern sentiment, and the bloody outrage"
people might have made considerable capital
out of it.
1t may be that Preston made a mistake. He
supposed his complaint was restraints upon his
conscience. Isn't it just possible that 1t is
what was called by late warrior and finan-
cier, "green apple belly-ache n Could any
thing else have inspired such beautiful senti-
ments and tender cmOtions3

COLORdDO'S PROSPERITY.

In other columns we present further notice
able installments Of our correspondence from
the newly-Opened territories. AS we have
already mentioned, these letters are written by
q member of our staff whose sole object in this
Journey is to spread before our readers true
picture of this region as it is at the present
hour. The early of emigration have
rolled overit. Thousands of experiments in lilo
have there been made by hardy pioneers. The
CAPACITY of the soil, the character of the eli
mate. and even the mineral resources have
passed out of the era of doubt and mere specu-
latlon From the letters we publish this morn
ing our readers may draw their own conclu-
sions as to the future of Colorado in the val.
leys of the Arkansas and Rio Grande Rivera
The material for forming a judgment is before
them.
Much as has been said about the climate e
Colorado, its actual character can only he
realized by sojOurn in it. Mere description
cannot fully bring before the mind an
atmosphere of transparent purity, with the
SHOWS of Winter on the mountains and the
heats of Summer in the valleys; where In the
middle of June ice forms in still water at night
and the ground is parched in the day. The high
winds of Colorado, as described in these let
ters, seem to be q more important element in
determining vegetation there, than may have
been supposed. Violent gales render the cult.
walton of fruit impossible. In fact it is easy
to see that very few agricultural crops can be
raised in region where tornadoes sometimes
sweep focks of sheep off their footing. This
difficulty is to be added to the better known
one of want of water except where irriga-
ton can be practiced.
The San Juan silver mines must be account
ed among the number of profitable mining en-
terprises in Colorado. More than the usual
difficulties are, however, experienced III bring
ing the product to market, from the rough
character of the country and the want of roads
and stampng-mills. 1t seems to be demon
strated that Colorado's prosperity will be largely
drawn from beneath her soil, and that in respect
to her best farming lands, grazing Is likely to
be for many years more profitable than crops.
There is good prospect that wool may become
the staple growth of Colorado, for although
the Angora goats proved failure, the harder
varieties of sheep thrive unusually well.

MONDAYS RAILUAY DISASTER.

When the most favorable view to the rail-
road managers has been admitted respecting
the Fourth of July disaster on the Southern
Railroad of Long Island, it amounts to this,
that one man, the dead conductor, disobeyed
his instructions. This will not be held IA a
sufficient excuse The disaster was not an
accident In the sense of being something which
could not have been expected, f0rcseen, and
controlled. If lightning should strike a bridge
before train reached it, or if n mountain tor
rent suddenly finding a new channel, should
in it, course sweep away the track, there
might he railway disaster OF magnitude III
which the criminal carclcssness of men is not
at once apparent. But a railway train i'll mo-
ton has its place at any given moment de-
termined by human agency; If trains
run into each other, it is because men
have brought them into collision. For
that the managers of the railroad can
not avoid responsibility by proving that one
man failed in his duty. The system on which
trains are run should be such as to allow for
lust such contingency. The safety of human
life must not be dependent upon the faithful
ness of one man. \ blunder is always posi-
bic. There is nothing for which men are more
exactly trained than the military art and yet
one of the great captains has assured us that
" war is a succession of bundcrs'
But in the present case the very shadow Of
an excuse Is wanting. High speed is often al
legged as the chief cause of accident iii modern
modes of travel by land and water. Gould
"you run trains at 50, 90 or 100 miles an
hour ~ asked Parliamentary COM
mittee of Robert Stephenson. Yes"
"Well what would be the conse-
"quence ~ :" Loss of life" was his hconic
reply. But in the collision near the Far Rock
away depot high speed had not been at
tanned on either side; some witnesses esti-
mate that one train was moving at about
fourteen and the other at about six miles per
hour. When we gaze on a midnight train
rushing through thick darkness on a win
ter's night over gorges and along noun
tain sides, it does not seem strange
that it may plunge into destruction. The ac-
cident of Monday took place on a sunny Sum-
mer's day, on the fiat sands of Long Island.

running trains would DO dictated by the proba-

4 COMING STRUGGLE.

One century Of self-goveInment in this land
is nearly ended Ii has been settled that ours
shall not he e ..o,,mment of castc-an alis-
tocracy. 1t has been settled that the national
unity shall be maintained. On the threshold
of the second century of independence, we
find ourselves confronted by third question,
which may yet involve the very existence of
the Republic.
Thus far it has not been clearly stated by
any party organ or convention. In fact, in
three great States, New York, Ohio, and Mis-
souri,, it was by some supposed that the Qucs-
ton had been finally disposed of within the
last five years by adoption of constitutional
amendments prohibiting division of the School
fund Yet in each of those States the same
question still cxcites sharp controversy, and
seems likely to have an important part in the
REIMBURSEMENT of party lines. The admission of
paroclal schools as part of the public school
system is openly demanded. Sooner or later
the broad question must be met, Whether
popular education belongs to the State or
" to the churches"
1t is not well to deceive ourselves with the
idea that this Issue will be disposed of easily.
