STEAM on THE STREETS

The instant death of girl ten years old,
run over by locomotive in the streets of
Brooklyn on Tuesday, needs something more
than passing notice in the column OF acei-
dents, or perhaps, verdict OF mild censure
against Il flagman by Il CorOner's jury. The
occurrence, and others of like character, will
be used TO advantage by the opponents of the
steam road in that city liability to such acci-
dents will be urged against any further
extension of the steam traffic in Atlantlc-ave.;
aud even the use of dummies on the city
roads will encounter further discouragement.
Such a result would be the more to be re-
gretted because there is no city in the Union
more in need of facilities for quick convey
ance than is Brooklyn to-day. The recent
decision of the Court of Appeals has given to
New-Yorb the certainty of Rapid Transit
within a few months-as soon as the roads
can be bult-while Brooklyn has neither
the certainty nor even the prospect of
rapid transit road, and cannot afford
to lose any chance of substitutes for 1T,
inferior though they may be. An extension of
the present steam road four or five blocks
down Atlantic-ave., would bring it to the head
of tunnel, which extends from that point
nearly to South Ferry. The tunnel was closed
many years ago, under pressure of legal pro-
ceedings, but there is no good reason $50 far
as the public is cOncerned) why it should not
be opened and put to use. Brooklyn would
then have rapid transit from East Newly ork
to South Ferry, and probably would find it
advantageous to extend the route, by way of
Furman-st., below the Heights, to Fulton Ferry.
But if steam on Atlantic-ave. means killing
and naming the less there is of it the
better. Hence it is desirable to look into the
causes of such accidents as that of Tuesday.
The locomotive engineer says he did what he
could to prevent the occurrence, by applying
the steam brake, though vainly. The con-
ductor says he was in the car with his
back to the engine, and knew nothing
of the accident till it had occurred. The
hagman saw two girls approaching
the track, and thought that the elder
one was pulling the younger one back;
after he got that notion he did not look fur
ther toward the children. And then the little
one ran in front of the engine, and was cut to
pieces The occurrence took place at the inter-
section of Washington -ave.-a large thorough
fare. The railroad has a wire fence on both
sides, except at the street-crOssings. A few OF
the crossings are guarded by gates the rest
are open. 1t would be the most improbable of
all things, if no accident should happen at these
open crossings, protected only by the presence
of a flagman, whose chief duty is directed tow
ard the coming trains. 1t may be too much
to hope that the Coroner's jury will clearly per-
ceive that Maggie Kenniff was killed because
the Long Island Railroad has no gates at most
of its street crossings but the public may as
well understand it at once, and know where
the blame belongs.
New-York tribune., 1877-09-20

Smiths letters show that he is not one or
them. There are men in Georgia who would
be heard even III defence Of wrong act, be-
cause they would perceive some distinction be-
tween honesty and theft. and would discuss
the obligations of a State with some knowl-
edge of the opinion of civilized and honorable
communities. TO persons who obviously nave
no faculties for such a task, nobody cares to
listen.
Georgia has done itself great injustice. we
have merely stated the fact Georgia, Iihe
other civilized communities, Is IN the nature ol
the case held bound by the act OF Its recog-
nized officials. The world cannot know, save
bv the methods which our form of Govern
ment provides, what the people OF Georgia
want. or under what circumstances they are
creating debt, and no people can retain the
respect of other civilized communities II they
refuse To respect those guarantees or tne va
ldity of an obligation which the ciyiiized
world requires. No State could borrow dol
lar. if il were once understood that, having
borrowed and spent the money, the State could
turn out its previous officials say that they
were usurpers, declare tl.er legislation cor
rupt. and their decisions Of courts worthless
seal of the State were of no meaning, and re-
fuse to pay the money borrowed. IL this can
be done without stigma of dish0nor in any case,
it can be done in every case. Any people VINO
then want to get rid of an obligation have only
to perform q political revolution, and tell the
world that their former Government was a
mere usurpatlOn.
In some instances holders Of Georgia bonds
may have had knowledge that they were
fraudulently issued. In others, there was not
originally suspicion, and is not now belief,
that the bonds purchased were other than the
authorized obligations of The State, made with
all the guarantees Of law by the State Gov
ernment recognized by the United States. If
Georgia had made any effort to pick out the
bonds which actually were fraudulently is
sued and the holders who had knowledge of the
fact, that would be a different matter. But
Georgia has broadly repudiated bonds of the
State of Georgia, of which very many are in
the hands OF innocent holders, and of which
many were in no sense illegally or fraud
ulenty issued. Whether the proceeds after
sale were misapplied or stolen, is not q ques-
ton between the State and those who have
trusted the State. The truth, patent to all the
world, is that this act is partly one of politi-
cal yindctiveness, and partly one of dishon-
orable desire to escape payment OF money.
The people of Georgia must expect that the
world will judge them by those laws which
civilized communities have everywhere recog-
nizad as necessary to the existence of stable
government, and not by conceptions which
debtors may desire to form for themselves.
If they deem it better to retain the money
than to retain the good opinion of the world
we can only state the fact.

1t is beginning to appear as if, for one reason or
another Senator COnkling is to control the APP
preaching Republican State Convention. Different
factions will have different ways of accounting for
it. but men of quite opposite views about Mr.. Conk-
ling are already agreed to tine probable conilnu-
ance of his hold upon the party organization. 1t is
unfortunate that tlgs will be generally interpreted
as an evidence of New-Yorl hostility to the Admin
istration But New-York is not hostile to the Adj
ministration We are not even certain that Mr..
Conkling is; and very certain that it is not
to the interest Of the Administration to nag
him into hostility. His control of the convention
is easily explained. He and his friends have been
intensely active, and there has been no organized
activity against them. The earnest supporters
of the Administration have had passive sort of
hope that men of Mr.. Curtis's way of thinking
might now take the lead; and it is said there have
been even some who hoped to things put in train
for Mr.. Curtis's election Mr.. Conklng's succes-
sor to the Senate. But far as can now be seen,
this is mere dreaming The friends of the Admins
tration have sat inactive, or have not known how to
do anything. Mr.. Conkling's supporters are hard at
work. and they know how to work. In explaining
the reasonable probability of their success only
desire to add that it is not necessarily to be
struod as defeat of the Administration. There has
been general impatence at the spirit of procrasti-
nation which seems to reign in Washington, and
there has been sharp dissatisfaction, at times, with
individual bunders But the people of New-York.

FREE SPEECH IY MISSISSIPPI

Mississippi is maintaining its bad reputation.
1t was the originator of bulldozing IA an ele-
ment in political controversies, and that general
method of influencing elections which is known
as the Mississippi plan. 1t is one Of the strong
holds of those who do not acquesce in any
plan for conciiation, for harmony for the peace
and Justice which alone can bring back pros
perity to the Southern States. 1t contains n
great number of men who certainly hate the
Republican party, but who are equally hostile to
the Democratic party, so far as it Is willing to
be governed by tie law. These men, restless,
dissatisfied, angry and unreconciled, are obnox
ious to the better part OF the Mississippi Dem
ocrats-to those who are unwilling to be held
responsible any longer for the electioneering
system which disgraced the Presidential cleo
ton in that State. They want no party there
which is loyal. They care nothing for names

GEORGIA. AND REPUDIATION.

1t appears that Mr.. j. Hurry Smith, of At
lanta, Ca, is anxious to become publicly
known as one who wishes the people of
that State to repudiate debt, but does not
wish them to be called repudatOrs. In reply
TO an editorial of THE TRIBUNE upon repudi-
alton by that State, he forwarded for publca-
ton a letter. in which he failed to touch the
essential facts, as men who are not very in
teligent, but are very angry, usually do. On
the 18th inst. he wrote again, calling the edi-
torial in question "abusive and unchartablc,"
wishing to know whether we mean - to Willy
ian innocent people, who have done no wrong,
"and refuse them "a hearing" adding 90 am

"ous TO be passed by silently, and | again ask

"mean business, and desire to hear from
"you without delay" Apparently, Mr.. j.
Hurry Smith supposes that he is the peO-
pie of Georgia. Much as we reprObate
their action, we may say with confidence
that they doubtless have a better sense
of honor, greater capacity to distinguish be-
tween uprigbtness and knayery. and more of
that manhood which scorns to prate of inno-
cence and justice when doing an act of self
interest or political yindictiveness, than the
person who insists upon his right to bring
himself into notice whenever they are criti-
ciscd. Georgia has many citizens who can dis

Massachusetts must be considered the Presi-
dents stronghold. Not even in his own State
has he received such q personal tribute from
the representatives of his party, and his Adj
minis.ration is rewarded with an almost profuse
approval beside which the brief commentator
of the Ohio Republicans seems poor indeed.
The Cleveland Convention cOntented itself
with affirming its "uufalterng confidence in
" president Hayes as a statesman, patriot and
Republican," and CORDIALLY approving and
supporting his efforts for the pacihcatiOn of
"the country and the establishment of Civil
"Servce upon the basis of purity and eiii-
"ciency.n But the Worcester Convention
Yesterday hailed "with unspeakable pleas
"urer the signs of Southern pacifcation,
and cordially" approved " the spirit and
"measures Of the Administration as wisely
"adapted to hasten this result, as directed by a
"iust sense of Constitutional right and duty, as
" tending to promote spirit of peace and con-
" "ciliatiOn between citizens OF all sections, and
"as already largely justified by the bettered feel
"ing and condition of the country" Upon the
subject of Civil Service Reform, the Conyen-
ton. after reaflirming the Cincinnati plank
and President Hayes's letter, demanded that
the work be persistently and resolutely car
"ried forward" cordially sustained aud ap-
proved /" the policy aud action Of the Presl-
"dent," and called upon 8" all departments of
"the Government to give him their cordial
"and effective support in making the reform
" Thorough and radical aud complete" The
Convention went farther-farther than many
earnest and honest Republicans will care
to follow it-and heartily indorsed the
order against Office holders e the first
"and most important step toward prac
"tical reform in the Civil Service" and
assured the President of cordial support in
"its enforcement" No such platform could have
been adopted by convention that did not
mean every word of it. Platforms which are
made for appearances sake are not so hearty.
The genuineness of these utterances was also
shown by the reception given to Senator
Hoar's eloquent speech, which breathed the
same spirit. This action is highly significant.
