Nothing but sheer good fortune seems to
have prevented great loss of life III the rail-
way wreck at COmmunipaw. SO far as human
power was concerned there were no means to
check the whole train from plunginS into the
North River. The cause of this disaster is be-
heved to have been a arrangement of the
vacuum brakes which are under the control of
the engineer. If that proves TO be the case,
the question must be pressed as to whether
the train was sufficiently provided with hand
brakes or with brakemen. There is general
tendency in operating railway trains to place
700 much reliance on train-brakes. They are
among the most serviceable OF recent inven-
tions for averting danger on railroads, but If
depended on too exclusively they may occa-
sion it.
In view of the narrow margin in the electoral
vote between the two candidates, the state

We arc informed that an emissary of
the Hayes and American Alliance par.
ties has been circulating statement
among voters that Governor Tilden is a
Catholic ard unworthy Of their support.
Such disreputablc conduct deserves ex.
posure. 1t is sufficient to say, that Co.
vernon Tilden is not Catholic and still
further that neither he nor the Demo.
cratic Party are inclined to introduce
mems religious beliefs or creeds into the
Politics of the country. This is just
what the Democratic Party holds to be
unjust and anti.Republican. Religious
prescription should have no place in
American Politics; certainly net in the
Democratic creed.

Ne~ Jerseys Var Governor .SAosing
Why Hayes Skoxld be Defeated.

Ex-Governor Joel Parker delivered a
speech last evening in the Opera House
in Newark to On immense audience
"Ihe other day" said he. "Mr. Blaine
told-us Why he was opposed to the e.
lection Of Mr.. Tilden. Now I will tell
you in brief why oppose the election
Of Mr.. Hayes. When he entered on his
duties as Governor n bill was passed
reducing fees in the State s30o,O but
this bill was repealed. He certainly
did not veto it, but he used his influence
against the measure He was In Con-
gress for three years, and not one Re-
publican in ten thousand remembered
anything about him after he got there.
The only speech he made was in ex.
planning his vote on subsidy for
Railroad corporation
Mr.. Parker added that his chief ob.
lection TO Mr.. Hayes was because il
would be continuation Of the present
corrupt Federal Administration. Mr..
Hayes must continne I'm office the men
who arc advancing his cause, TCries of
Blaine, Belknap, Morton, Shepherd, and
Chandler. Who is it that conyratula.
ted Mr.. Hayes when he received the
nomination? Grant and Blaine. The
King ut Washington must be the men
who will surround him and give tone to
bis administration. and therefore the
speaker thought Hayes should not be
elected.
The present Government has brought
almost financial ruin on the countrr; i'm
fact, it is going from bad TO worse; we
have labor without employment, men
going from door to door begging their
bread and our commerce driven from
the seas. The Administration is inca.
pablo of conducting system OF finance
necessary for the country's prosperity.
The speaker then showed how national
expenses had Increased within the last
five years, and said there is not vessel
IN the navy to-day but is comparatively
worthless. The public lands have been
given away to railroad corporations
The oiiicebolders have been increased
simply TO form an army of politicians
to keep the party in power.

TIE SOUTH CAROLINA oUTRAGEs.
1t appears that the United STATES
marshal for South Carolina proposes to
break up and prohibit democratic pro.
ccssions, as no other explanation can be
assumed for his action in arrcsting the
officers of the parade nj Aiken the. other
day. This is going one stop farther
than anything that has yet been attempt.
cd. If it were not for that which has
gone before, it would seem scarcely
credible that the administration would
uphold its officer in this outrage. But
no matter what he administration NAV
do about it, the people of the country
most assurcdly will set the seal of their
rebuke upon it in unmistakable terms.
