THE good order which was preserved at the
funeral of NJ. THEIRS, on Saturday, indicates
that the Republicans Of France are still gov
erncd by wise counscls. Notwithstanding the
overwhelming military force which watched
the procession, II would have been an easy
matter for the people to have made demon
strations intended to show their dislike of the
MAcMAHoN despotism. 1t speaks we'll for
them that they were able to bide their time,
and that they did not allow themselves to be
drawn into conflict with the authorities,
under the influence Of the feelings excited by
the solemnities OF the occasiou.

EXISTING RAILROAD TRoUBLrs.-
The first subject of congratulatron con.
nected with existing railroad disorders
~ this country is, that the fury OF
the conflict is apparently subsiding
At all points involved and that, within
the limits of our own State, law has in
measure re-asserted itself, particular
ly in Baltimore City, not, however, with
out some damage to property, great in
terruptisn to trade, and saddest OF all,
considerable loss to human life. The
wide swath OF these troubles and the
simultaneous risings at different points
show that secret understanding ex-
listed among railroad employees before
the outbreak to restore by force their
old rates OF wages, and concert of action
IN mob violence among them is also
clearly evidenced. There arc two sides
to these troubles, however, and though
1t be clear that all mobs should be pu,
down by the strong arm and al once, il
4 milder medicine will not answer.
II may not therefore follow that op-
rressIve corporations are alone en-
titled TO public consideration and sym.
pathy. But we will not here cn.n IN
a discussion Of this kind. The troubles
IN question have already assumed a
national aspect and have involved all
the great trunk lines of railroad through
out the country. Thus far the creates.
loss to life and property has been in
fittsburg, but even there, at latest &C.
counts. better feeling as obtaining and
~e earnestly hope that this will continue
to grow and extend, as well to the con-
fusion Of MODS, as to the removal of all
just causes Of complaint on the part of
honest laboring men against the grind
ing exactions OF capital.

SOUTHERN MARYLAND RAILROAD
Our readers will recoliect that some.
time since we published extracts from
letter Of Col. Smoo,, President of this
Company, in which he gave the most
positive assurance that the cars would
be running over the road a. far as Bran
dywinc by the first OF July. We ex-
pressed our opinion on the subject at
the time and have no occasion to DO so
now. Well, the frs. of July has come
and gone, and the good, patient and
hopeful people along the line of the road
are still unacqusinted with the sight OF
the snorting and putting iron-hor<e,
which has not inaptly been described as
hell-in harness. But instead of the
promised running of the cars, We see by
the papers, that the road with all its
property ~ and franchises is advertised
for sale in pursuance Of an order Of the
Circuit Court for Prince Georges coun-
ty, passed in cause in tina. Court where
lin Receivers have been appointed. Col.

The CRoss-CRFscrxr STRUGGLE.

advancing and the Turks are still falling
back. Common sense teaches that ,h,.
state Of affairs cannot continue much
longer. Either the Turks mus, soon
night and win or they must go to the
wall. Russia Is al last on the high road
to Constsn,inople and. as il is scarcely
to be anticipated that the Turks of them
selves can now seriously arrest her prog

fall into Russian possession or i, mus, be

In either case. the cri,ica! poip, in
