GOTERNOR STEPHENS or GEORGIA.

The remarkable career of Alexander III.
Stephens has been crowned by his election to
the Governorship of Georgia. His admins
traton of that office is likely to terminate his
public record, and if he has the disposition and
the courage to be Governor of the whole peo-
pie, ruling whites and blacks with equal justice,
he can do his State more lasting service than
he has been able to do it in the whole of his
previous career. He will go into Office at all
opportune moment and under most favorable
conditions. His nomination was the outcome OF
popular dissatisfaction with Bourbon rule. The
Bourbons did not seek him as candidate.
They did not like his Independent prOclivtles
and his frequent outspOkcn condemnation OF
Democratic blunders. But the mention OF him
as a candidate by the anti-BOurbon section or
the party was greeted 18th such strong popular
approval that the Bourbons did not dare to
refuse HIM support. He ran more as peoples
than as q Democratic candidate. lie was
known to have been fair and honorable in his
treatment of negroes, and this knowledge, to-
gether with his assurances OF determination
to be just Governor to all, undoubtedly
secured him macy negro votes.
The Republicans as party, however, were
not in favor Ct his candidacy. They said that
while it was true that Mr.. Stephens had
at times shown cOmmendable independence,
he was still, az he always had been,
thoroughgoing Bourbon, believing with all
Bourbons that white men alone should be
allowed to rule, no matter whether they had
q majority of the votes or not. They declined
to support him on these grounds, and ran their
own candidate, preferring to make hopeless
fight rather than surrender their principles.
We had no doubt of their sincerity, but doubted
the wisdom of theiI course. BY cordially and
unitedly supporting Mr.. Stephens, they would
have nut him under additional obligations to
be a Governor of the whole people rather than
of "A party. We trust he will be that kind OF
Governor anyway, and if he keeps his pledges
he will be. He comes into the Office at the
close of his life, and can have no other ambi-
ton than to take that course which shall be Tor
the highest good of his State. For the first
time, almost in his life he is in position where
he can follow his own inclinatiOns. If he had
had his way in 1850, the South would not have
made the fatal blunder of secession. 1t he had
had his way in Congress whom his party was III
the majority there few years ago. its course
would have been more honorable and less dis
astrous. In both instances he knew what was
right but was poweress to make the right
prevail. Now he has both the knowledge and
the power 1t remains to be seen if he has the
courage of his convictions.

ocratic member claims to be for hard money OF
for soft money, for protection to home industry
or for the worst form of free trade, for public
faith or for reputation; In any case, he must
be expected to obey his caucus, and to vote
for the man nominated for Speaker by the
majority of his party associates. What that
majority wants and tries to do the country mas
learned by bitter experience.
1t is, therefore, the more important that the
New-York State Committee, while berating
sincere Republicans because they object to the
work of the State Convention, should at least
take care to select candidate for Congress
man-at-Large who can certainly be elected.
1t would be an act not merely of folly, but OF
actual treachery to the party in its largest IN
terests, to put up an Objectionable candidate
for that position.

THE VERDICT IN THE TUNNEL CASE.


1t would hardly have been possible for the
Coroner's jurymen, who have been investigat-
ing the recent disastrous collision in the
Harlem Tunnel to reach different. or at least
a milder verdict. They have censured the
conductor and brakeman of the NewHaven
train and the telegraph operator in the Harlem
signal station, as well as the management of
the two railroad companies concerned. This
places the responsibility where it belongs
The testimony taken by the Coroner showed
that lax and parsimOnious management in both
the Harlem and New-Haven companies was
the primary cause of the accident. If the
signal officer at Ninety-sixth-st. had done his
duty. the collision would have been avoided.
He WAS not able TO do his duty because he had
too much work to attend to. superintendent
Toucey admitted this, but maintained that one
man was enough for the station. "lf there
@were two men they would only hinder the
work. he declared. Yet he would not te able
10 DENY that If there had been two men there
ON the day of the accident there would have
been no collision and the lives of three people
would not have been taken. If two men
hindered the work they would hinder accidents
as well. and that TO anybody but railway
superintendent "oulu "PPS"' l" w '"iii'iOhO
reason for employing them. Mr.. Toucey
admitted that the signal arrangements TOR the
side track were not complete, and he also
admitted that it might be advisable to light the
tunnel These admissions alone are sufficient
to convict him of great negligence in not
doing everything possible to insure safe pas
sage through the tunnel heretofore. Even
now he seems to be unaccountably oblivious
to the duties of his position, for be persists in
declaring that one man is sufficient for any
signal station. Suppose there were to be an
other blockade tomorrow and trains were
switched upon that side track through the
tunnel, what security would the public have
against an exact repetition of the recent
dsasterf Mr.. Toucey, if we are to credit his
own testimony, would do nothing to prevent it.

Il is sufficiently we'll established by the concur
rent testimony of nearly all the witnesses exam

train struck it. That was ample time 10 allow
an experienced brakeman to run BACK anu

there was no experienced brakeman on the
train. There was water-boy there, sixteen
wears of age, who had served as brakeman

The pay of n water-boy is SIG month, whlle
that of brakeman is $40. Probably the com
many thinks this is reason enough for placing
the lives of their passengers ut the mercy OF
the boys, but the public is taking very
different view of It, Nor is righteousness the
only charge proved against them. The testl-
mony shows that the conductor had scarcely
more adequate conception of his duty than the
water-boy had, for he did not hurry the latter
away with his signals, nor in any other manner
exert himself to prevent the accident. lie

There is something radically loose in the DIS

IT is a pleasure 10 learn that the latest I'M
favorable reports about Mr.. ThurlOw Weeds
health have been considerably exaggerated.
The veteran journalists condition last evening
was much more comfortable than it had been
for several days.
One of the minor points in the excellent verdict
brought in by me cOIoners jury in the Harlem
Railroad Tunnel case is the recommendation
that the tunnel should be lighted and venti-
lated Aside from the danger, it is a cause of
blame that the company did not long ago do
this for the sake of the passengers
comfort. The ride through this long pas
sage is anything but pleasant, and the
necessity Of going through it twice every day
is a great drawback to living above the
Harlem. Perhaps the company will undergo
a change of heart after it has read this verdict
carefully.
The first meeting of the canvass in behalf
of Judge Folger was not a marked success.
The Lincoln Club called ratification meeting
for last evening, and Chickering Hall was half
filed. A list of distinguished vice-presidents
was read, but most OF these officers were
absent Mr.. Cortlandt Parker "a New-Jersey
Republican, and Professor Dwight made
speeches in defence of Judge Folger, declaring
that he ought not to be held personally re-
sponsible for the fraud and forgery that pre-
ceded his nomination.
Mayor Low goes directly to the point in
governing Brooklyn, AS be would in his private
business affairs. Having some communication
about politics to make to bis fellow citizens,
he has hired the Rink and will be there this
evening to speak to those who will listen to
him. A one-man's mass meeting is a novel idea.
Whatever Mr.. Low has to say certainly will
be interesting and doubtless instructive I; but
possibly the older politicians will think that
the Mayor is too young to give them points in
so paternal style.
No argument is now needed in behalf of the
Signal Service of the country. Its work from

The Chamber of Commerce yesterday took
ND again its old fight against the extortlons
which the pilots who prowl around Sandy
Hook practise on sea captains and owners OF
ocean steamers. Resolutions were adopted
declaring that the number of pilots should oe
reduced and the fees cut down. Also the
Board of Pilot Commissioners was recon-
mended to take steps to Introduce service OF
steam pilot boats We fear that appeals to the
Commissioners will lie Of little use. The hght
should be resumed at Albany this winter. Inc
pilots' lobby is strong there and has been able
in the past to prevent legislation which these
extortioners and unjust sea-faring men fear
would hurt them. But possibly there Will DC
enough honest legislators at the State Capltoi
ot the next session to pass some laws to lessen the
burdens now imposed on the commerce OF tins

CROOKED CROCKETT.
Showing the Queer and Claiming
Hin TO Davy CrOckett.

Huntingdon tTenn,,) Republican.
The notorious Dow Crockett. for
merly of Humphreys and Benton
counties, has been arrested, tried aud
convicted ofpsssing counterfeit money
in Missouri, and sentenced to a term
Of Imprisonment in the penitentiary at
Chester, lii.
Recentlya reporter Of the st. Louis
Republican interviewed him in the
Jail at st. Louis, in which interview
Crockett gave long narrative Of
falsehoods, which are published in the
Republican and subsequently trans
ferred to the columns Of the Nashville
World without comment. A paper
usually go we'll informed as the World,
it would seem, should have detected
the imposition and not have copied the
statements without a correction Of the
fslsehoods.
To start with, we would say that
the name Of this disgraced.felon is not
David Crockett, but Lorenzo Dow
Crockett; and in the next place, he is
not a grandson, nor does be bear any
blood relationship to the great pioneer,
humorist, patriot and politician,
Davy Crockett. This notorious coun.
terIeiter and cosmopolitan scoundreI
was not a member Of Hawkins reei.
ment, as we are informed, further
than for a time as sort Of camp
follower; nor was he ever a slave
owner.
Now, the parties that have given
publication to this highly colored
story have not lived SO near the depre.
dations Of Dow Crockett as we have,
and might reasonably enough be mis-.
led by his narrative, except that it
seems to US that they ought to have
detected that it bears upon its face
the evidence OF lie. For instance,
he claims to be the son OF John W.
Crockett, the son Of David Crockett,
and at the same time be claims to be
a cousin to Bob Crockett, of
Crocketts Bluff, Arkansaw, who
is son Of John w. Crockett,
the son Of Davy Crockett. Both Dsvy
crockett and John w. Crockett at an
early day represented this Congress
sional district in Congress.
The illustrious Davy Crockett was
known by quite number of marked
characteristics, prominent among
which was his proverbial honesty, and
he seems in an eminent degree TO have
transmitted this good quality to his
posterity, as nothing dishonest has
ever been charged to any of them.
This culprit seems to have known
something ofthe character aud history
of Davy Crockett, but. ingenious as he
may be, he cannot palm himself off as
grandson of that great man that our
people have honored and loved. There
are a number Of old men now living in
Carroll county that knew Davy Crook
EFT personally.
For twenty FIVE years Dow Crockett
has been engaged in the neiarious
business of showing the queer" and
for that length of time counterfeit
money has been known in Benton
county as Crockett money"
