The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1882-05-06

The N, Y. Tribune says: "These
two acts 1.-THE Edmund's Bill and the
unseating of Cannon, both passed by
a Republican Congress and both OPP
posed by an almost solid Democratic
vote, will stand out in political his
tory as the browning works of this
session. They mark the beginning
of the end of the foul institution of
MOrmonism in the United States,
and they present the Republican par
ty as its consistent defender and ally.
When the Edmund's bill was before
the Senate, the Democratic Senators
spoke against it and exhausted their
ingenuity in attempting its defeat.
When the final vote was taken they
were too shrewd to GO on the record
and allowed it to be passed by viUd
Uoce vote. The Democratic members
of the House were more reckless.
They opposed the bill, and on its
final passage ninety-tive of them vot-
ed against it. Nearly all the votes
in its favor were Republican. and In
neither the Senate nor the House
was there Republican vote against
it, When the vote to unseat Mr.,
Cannon was taken in the Honse, all
but eight of the Democrats present
voted to retain him. while all the
Republicans present voted for re-
moyal."

A Sensation in New York.
JUNIUS.

NEW YORK, April |.-An at
tempt was made to-day by some per-
sons on the lives of William HI. Van
derbilt and Cyrus w. Field by send
ing them explosives through the
mails. Fortunately TIE dangerous
character of the packages was discov-
cred en- route to the postoffice station,
whence they were to be delivered at
the residences of these gentlemen,
and so probable loss of life was pre-
vented. The circumstances of the
case as related by Postmaster Pear
son this evening are as follows: Two
missives came into the postoffice
about 4:3e O'Clock in the afternoon.
One was posted in the office and the
other was brought in by a collector
q few minutes afterwards. The last
one WAS addressed to VIM, H. Van.
derbilt, 459 Fifth avenue. The first
one was addressed to Cyrus w. Field,
Lexington avenue and Thirty-third
street. The packets were placed in a
mail bag along with other mail mat
ter for the uptown district, put in a
mail wagon and taken to the Third
Avenue Elevated Railroad Station
at the head of Chatham street, and
then deposited on the front platform
of one of the cars. The train started
uptown, and before reaching the sta
at Ninth street and Third avenue an
explosion was heard from the mail
bag, and fire and smoke was observ-
cd to issue from it. When the train
stopped at the station the burning
bag was hastily transferred to the
platform, as the railroad people were
afraid to transport it any further on
the train. 1t was taken down stairs,
placed on a wagon and taken to the
postoffice station az Twenty.ninth
street and Third avenue. Superin-
tendent Mosher, who is in charge
there, despatched a messenger in
haste for Postmaster Pearson, and
when that official arrived, the half
burned mail bag and its contents
were examined. The package adj
dressed to Cyrus w. Field was
plunged into a bucket of water for
fear that it might also explode, and
When thoroughly soaked was exam
iDed carefully. 1t was found to con-
sist of pasteboard box covered with
gaudy flowers and pictures, and had
small drawer in il, from which de-
pended string, as is supposed for
the purpose of drawing it open and
causing the explosion. Inside of the
box was found a tin canister con-
tanning white powder and liquid,
believed to be some kind of explo-
siye, but what it was none of the
Postoffice officials could say. 1t will
be sent the chemist for analysis. On
the packages were ten five~cent
stamps. 1t was Mr.. Vanderbilt's
package that exploded, probably
caused by the jolt of the cars when
rounding the curve out of the Bowery
into Third avenue, and but for which
occurrence the packages might haye
reached their destinations and explo-
ded in the hands of the parties to
whom they were sent. The contents
of the mail bag were pretty well
scorched by the explosion. The post

Southern States in the Next Congress

1t is n pity the republicans do not send
some of their ablest speakers into the south
ern states to take part in the congressional
canvass there. With proper effort they
could undoubtedly make large gains of con-
gressmen in those States and if they want
to keep control of the next congress they
will need to recruit their numbers fiom that
section, because in the northern states they
are likely to suffer losses. A good many

cratic only in name, and through preiu.

protection, and in Louisiana and parts OF
Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, Ten

lection policy, and which can be carried by
the republicans if they will only make a

Evening Post remarks:
Everybody knows that there are parts
of the city in which the contraction Of the
roads has materially changed the whole
character of the street, so that the lots
practically abut, not on street, but on a
railroad. If permitting the erection of a
structure occupying the entire width of
supported by iron columns, block
ing up the windows of houses and stores
on both Sides and covered with passing
and repassing trains, does not effect
the use of the street, what does? Horse
railroad companies are not required to pay
because or at any rate on
the theory that they do not make any ma
teris- difference in street as such. But
now that the Story case has been decided,
we shall probably never hear again that
there is any very strong resemblance be-
tween horse cars and elevated roads in this
respect"
These views appear to be just. The con-
struction of elevated railroads, Therefore,
will hereafter involve the distinct PROPOSE
lion of buying the property. or at least
paying large indemnity to the owners on
both sides of streets occupied. There can
be no question OF the abstract justice of the
New York decision. But as cities extend
and the necessity for more rapid means of
Iocom otion than is practicable on the sur
face of the street increases, these works
will still be constructed, only it will require
a vast business to justify the outlay.
