Coroner simms. of Brooklyn. held inquest yes
terday in the of Julius +. Roehner. the young
German who was found dead in his room at tho
clinton House. that city. Sunday afternoon
last DR.. A. W. shepard. who made a post-mortem
examination OF the remains, by direction of tho
Coroner, testified that death was due to narcotic
poison. All the organs of deceased had been
found to DO In healthy state with the
exception Of the heart. which was slightly enlarged.
In the letter which deceased left the Coroner he
stated that i'll health had wearied him of lie and he
had ended II. IL is thought by this that young

declining in health. The jury rendered verdict in

GRIEVANCES OF "L" ENGINEERS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The officials of tho Manhattan Elevated Railroad
in their dealings with the men employed engi-
seem to have determined on a policy the
verse of right. In refusing to keep faith with the
engineers whom they employed q year ago at n low
rate Of wages with the assurance of continued en-
ployment with increased salary at the end of the
year. they commit shabby wrong which the men
will not submit to without protest. In conncc-
ton. too, with this bad faith. there is the added In
justice of extended hours of a labor arduous and
trying to body and brain. This withholding of u
good part of the ngs of tho most useful class
of employees on tho elevated railroad while imposing
on them long hours of overwork. even
to the verge of physical exhaustion. will
be resented by q law-abiding community
aware of Its mercenary object and interest.
Were the engineers the reverse of what they are.
brave men and true. neither the magnates OF tho
railroads the public would jeopardze their lives
and property by using tho road they do daily
from year TO year. As class the LOGON olive cngi-
neers are temperate, honest and intelligent. They
have their Libraries and reading rooms and their
brotherhood" reunions In their halls. where thoy
have lectures or discuss matters pertaining to their
business. The motto IL "Sobrety. Truth, Justice
and Morality" Woe betide tho wight who fails IN q
due observance OF their precepts. for Is sent
coventry ut once, while his detection is pubis hcd

to which States even inn local matters
must bend. 1 cannot assent to any such
theories. The government created by the consti-
tuition left the States the control Of local matters
and II never entered into the conception of its
trainers that under it the creations of the States
could be taken by il from their control aud
they lett powerless and helpless in the
matter. The doctrines announced. in the opin-
ion OF the majority of the Court, go further
than any heretofore advanced. and any even
thought possible in the history of the country
destroy the Independence of the States and estab
lsh their helpessness even in matters of local con-
against the will OF Congress. He must be
duh indeed who does not see that under the lees-
aton and the course OF decisions of late years, our
government is fast drifting from its ancient moor
ings-from the system established by our fathers,
into vast centralized and consolidated govern
ment,"

WHICH IS THE GREATEST COWARD?
New YORK, Oct. Is. 1879

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Sometimes. while reading the HERALD. have been
led to believe Captain Williams coward. but on
thinking the IN after have come to the conclu-
sion that not he shielded by the uniform he has so
often disgraced). but the citizens of this great city
really guilty of cowardce. do not think there
is another city, town or village in this free land
where the people would tolerate such conduct on
the part of who is expected to keep the peace.
1t would seem If the clubbing of peaceable cti-
by this had the effect of soaring them into
abJect submission. II such is the case they deserve
al they get. But if not let every lawabdng citizen
be prepared to defend himself whom assaulted by
