7. C. NIGHMAN wishes to call the atten-
ton of the public tc this matter Orders
for his coaches should be left on the states
at least one hour before train time.
Wishing to give entire satisfaction TO pa
irons, he will always be found ready and
prompt, but some thoughtless people
have left orders from ten to fifteen min
utes before train time, when the coach
was on duty, and as consequence, the
orders were filled only at great risk.

watching Paul Field thaw the ice from

since, went home last Saturday night in
condition rather incomprehensible to
his wife, who thought a; first, that he was
suffering from an apoplectic attack, and
as he wilted into an arm chair and
dropped his head on to his breast, she be-
came alarmed and asked if she should
send for Physician, then he replied:
''Phishen be d-d-shend for (hic)
Faul Pield, he can th-(hic)-aw me out," +"
then she knew it wasn't apoplexy and
treated him accordingly.

BIRTHINGTON'.S WASHDA Y.

Everybody in Canton was washing on
last Monday, consequently they didn't
think much about birthdays. Though
the streets were muddy and disagreeable.
the memory of the great &. Washington
still fingered in the minds of a few patri-
otic Cantonians, and those few compris-
ing the members of the Washington Fire
Company, tucked the tops oftheir pants
into the bottom of their boots and-that
Tits all a mistake, but reverse the boots
and it will be all right, )-pulled their ma
chine from the engine house, Poplar and
Eighth streets, and waded out through
the mud, one solitary but compact COM
pany of patriotic citizens Of German de-
scent. They were bound to see justice
done to- some extent, and deserve credit
for their energy. Were it not for the
brief display of this one small company,
without uniforms, it might truthfully be
said that CantOn's citizens had entirely
forgotten the great statesman, soldier, &c,
nd Rbitum, who was "frst in peace, first
in war, and last in getting monument"
The usual proceedings Of Feb. 22nd were
so forgotten that not even solitary drunk
was called upon to engage in an inter-
view with the Mayor next morning. But
let there be no more grumbling on the
subject.

That was very small potato and indess
corous proceeding in the House of Assembly
on Thursday over the Erie Railway passes.
The law only obliges the company to supply
members with passes over their roads In this
State during the session. but the Superinten-
dent sent them passes for the whole year..
But the members were dissatisfied because
they did not include the entire length of the
Erie Company's road out Of as well as within
this State, and returned the passes with an
intimation to this effect. This piggish con-
duct made the Erie Superintendent indignant,
and he sent back satirical letter inwhich he
says
81 regret exceedingly having taken the
liberty of extending to the members of the
House privileges beyond those required by
law, and now inclose herewith tickets directly
in conformity to law, as l am advised by
coun el.'
These tickets were for the session only and
only over the Erie roads in this State. Ex-
asperated at having thus over-reached them
selves and at the cutting discontinue which
they had suffered, resolution was ait once
offered and adopted that a committee be APP
pointed to investigate the relations existing
between Jersey City and the Erie Railway
Company in regard to taxes. This is a threat
of blackmail, andis entirely worthy Of the
body.

An iron ship building establishment has

available for this business This concern has
an Office in Philadelphia No object in going
below the river can equal in Importance the
neaTness of coal and iron in going up the
river. Hence the Reading Railroad Company
established its ship-yards at Port Richmond
rather than at Chester. Bordentown is near
the iron regions of both New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, there being some fourishing
iron works near it in New Jersey. Supplies
of coal and lumber are also available by water
at low rates. There are now along the valley
of the Delaware, five iron ship yards, one at
Camden, one at Bordentown, one at Chester,
and one at Wilmington The ice obstruc-
tions this winter have so clearly demonstrated
the value of iron vessels of all kinds worked
by steam in keeping the navigation open, that
there ought to be a large increase of them
during the ensuing season. From present
appearances the reputation of the Delaware
as the Clyde of America is now 50 well es-
tablished that it would not be at all surprising
if our Clyde were to beat the original one in
iron vessels. Such a winter as the present
would have effectually closed the navigation
of the Delaware prior to the Introduction of
iron steamers But now all our steamtugs
are of iron, and are actually better than the
city ice-boats for opening the river All the
ferry boats ought to be rebuilt of iron and
with powerful engines; thus their
transit would be safer and quicker.

The Paterson Guardian, the leading organ
of the Democracy in this section Of the State,
insists that Speaker Vanderbilt is seriously in
culpated by the evidence in the Carpenter
case, and demands his resignation. After
summarizing the facts established by the tes-
timony, and commenting upon the Speakers
intense anxiety to cover up the scandal and
the steps taken by him for that purpose, it
says -
Such is the disgraceful record that the
Speaker of Democratic Assembly presents
to his party and the people, at time when
the utmost integrity and prudence are needed
to make secure the fruits of hard won victory
Mr.. Vanderbilt has disgraced the Democratic
party, disgraced the State. The only thing
he can gracefully do now is to step down and
out with all possible dispatch. His own rep
aitation is ruined, but he may retrieve the in
jury done to the State of his birth, and the
party which has honored him beyond his de-
serts, by immediate resignation. The sooner
he takes this step the better it viii be for him.
self and all concerned"
All that looks pure and honest and square
enough, but the friends of the Speaker say
that the real secret of the Guardians hostil-
ity to him is his peremptory refusal to con-
struct some Of his Committees in the interest
of the proprietors of that paper, when urged
by them so to do. 1t is very pretty quarrel
as it stands, and we haven't the slightest dis
position TO take any hand in it. But what a
precious set of scamps these loud-mouthed
Democratic @ Reformers are upon their own
showing. -Morristoacn Jerseynadn.

One of the witnesses examined by the Lou
isiana Investigating Committee, Friday-the
editor of the Caucasian ewspaper-justified
the revolutionary articles wlrich he has pub
lished from time to time. He said that the
Republican newspaper in Rapides was mob
bed, and the material destroyed ; the persons
who did it were employees on a Democratic
newspaper. He added:
"We were prepared with force if it was
All lsegls-
lature. Ii the police had not interfered we
should have left the members to settle it
themselves. If the police had interfered and
the United States troops had not been present
there would have been somebody hurt on the
4th of January. l was prepared myself to
come down with 10 or 10 armed men to pro-
tect our members in their rights as we con
sidered them. Fifty-nine colored men were
killed at Colfax and two white men died.
The Caucasian praised the men who took
part in the Colfax massacre. l approved OF
it as most of our people did my paper coun-
selled resistance to the United States troops
in certain emergency /; had not the Colfax
affair ended as it did, not less than 1000 mig
gers would have been killed later"
This testimony, from one of their own
friends, hardly justifies the claim of the Con-
servatives that they are tame, innocent and
grossly slandered people.
