EnqIish Road ENGINES.

The steamship Erin has just brought
over from England number of road To-
comotives and wagon trains, designed
for use in the far west instead of mules.
The Times thus describes these engines:
"They weigh about 7 tons each, and
are rated at II to fourteen horse power
They have horizontal boilers, which are
fitted with large fre-boxes for burning
almost any description of fuel, and water
tanks are affixed capable of holding a
supply for three or four hours. The en-
gines are so arranged that they can be
used for turning fixed machinery. The
driving wheels are Z feet in diameter and
IL inches in width, and the steering, or
front wheels are 4 feet in diameter and
9 inches wide. An important advantage
In the road locomotive is that i'll case of
need the road wheels can be replaced by
the ordinary hange wheels for running on
rails. Those brought by the Erin have
an important addition, in the shape of a
winding drum, fitted to the driving axle,
capable of holding from so to 100 yards
of coiled rope, which can unemployed In
hosting heavy weights and in hauling
the loaded wagons up otherwise imprac-
ticable grades. One engineer and two
laborers can manage each train. The
locomotives can be employed on roads
with moderate grades, not exceeding l
foot in II, and each one will draw load
of from ten to twelve tons at an average
speed of three and half miles an hour

Horrible WAR Reminiscence.

The United States Senate, on the 4th inst,
rejected the nomination of John Mcneil, of st.
Louis, as United States marshal for the Eastern
district of Missouri. Gen. McNeirs rejection
was effected bya very decisive vote-32 nays
against yeas. This action was based upon an
adverse report from the Judiciary committee,
accompanied with statement to the effect that
Gen. Mcneil, in the year 1862, while in COM
mand of the United States troops at Palmyra,
Mo-, ordered the execution of eleven citizens
of that neighborhood who had been arrested
but not yet tried on the charge of "bushwhack-
ing" and did execute ten of them as a measure
of retaliation for the alleged abduction and
supposed murder of q union man in the same
county. McNeiPs orders required the execution
of these prisoners if the missing unionist was
not returned within a certain period, and as
nothing was heard from the latter the orders
were carried into effect by McNeirs provost mar
shall upon The designated day. 1t was also
stated by member of the judiciary committee,
in execution session, that the life of the elev-
enth prisoner was spared by the provost mar
shall upon an enforced condition that the honor
of the formers wife should be the price of her
husbands release, and that Gen. Mcneil con-
tnued this same provost marshal in service
under him after the disgraceful facts became
known.

A Celestial Sensation.

By the overland train another celestial

Francisco with white wife, and at
tracted much attention on account of the
peculiar circumstances of the case. The

ity, about as pretty as pedestrian at
the end of six days walk, while his
wife, on the contrary, is very pretty,
shapely and tall American women of %
years of age. In the party was the
mother of the girl, thus showing that
this benign child of the howery kingdom
dues not hold that aversion to the typical
mother-in-law so often and so forcibly
expressed by the American press and
public. The moon-eyed beauty answers
to the classical name OF Lum Sing Loo,

is the agent of a rich company control
ling very large capital. He intends to
remain on the coast but a short time,
combining business with pleasure, and
among the ingredients going to make up
the latter he seems to consider cham
payne drinking very strong one.

An Important Decision.

The United States Supreme Court has given a
decision as to the constitutionality of the act of
the West Virginia legislature excluding colored
citizens from jury service in the courts of the
state. The court holds that when colored
citizen is tried for his life by jury from which
citizens Of his own race are by state statute ex-
pressly excluded, he is denied that equal protec-
ton of the law guaranteed by the third clause
of the fourteenth amendment Of the constitIl-
ton, and that the state statute denying him
such right is repugnant to said constitutional
provision. Justice Strong delivered the opinion,
Justice Field dissenting.
