The OUTLOOK FOR THE BOMBAY HOOK


RoAD.-We have received a marked copy OF
the Fineland Independent, which contains
quite lengthy article relative the New Jer-
sey Southern Railroad, and the Vineland
Railway From the fact that the corporation
that is building these roads propose to con-
struct the Bombay Hook railroad, there is
something of local interest which attaches to
the enterprise. The roads above named from


a continuous line of railroad form Port Mon


mouth and Sandy Hook to the Delaware Bay


and, from its situation naturally becomes the
great Trunk line of the State extending South
wardly from New York 1t is the great line
of travel from New York city to Long Branch.
The Independent also states that the line will
be fed by eleven branch lines, six of which are
already in running order and the balance are
mainly under contract, from which it predicts
that it will become the most profitable road in
the State. The Nineland Railroad isexpected
to be finished to the Delaware Bay, by the
goth of September. This, says the Mdepead-
ent, "wll give it the command Of the peach
trade of Delaware and connect it with the rail
road system of the south. This is the only
allusion, however, to the Bombay Hook road
which we give for what it may be worth. We
may add that, since the recent survey, several
weeks ago, nothing has been done on this
side of the Bay, and the talk Of making a sixty
or ninety days lob of the Bombay Hook road
amounts to nothing moro than fuss and
feathers" as was generally supposed. Sill
our citizens are disposed to keep quiet an1
await devolopements Just now our peach grow
ers are blue over the profits of their crop. The
fruit is realizing poor prices, which have to be
transferred to the railroad company to pay
freight. What the growers may be com PEELED

COLLISION AT CLIPPER GAP.-A collision occur
red between two freight trains at Clipper Gap
on Sunday evening last. 1t seems that the two
trains were to pass each other at the Gap, and
that when the down train arrived it was not
switched on the side track, but ran down on the
main track, intending to back up on the side
track, and when it had got on the trestle work
this side of the gap, the up train came bulging
along, and the collision occurred on the trestle
work. damaging the engines and cars of both
trains, but injuring no person seriously. The
trains were slowing down when they struck,
otherwise they might both have went off the
trestle work and caused much damage and loss
of life. One passenger rushed to the conductor
after turning double somersault over the stove,
and asked what the h--ll he meant by stopping
SO suddenly; which question the said conductor
could not just then answer. The evening pas
senger train was detained here some hours by
the wrecking of the freight trains.

A CONGRESSIONAL DEBATING CLUB.-The
House OF Representatives yesterday resolved
itself into a debating club in which one


member told all that he knew, which was
not much, abont the ''Heathen Chinee" and
an Arkansas man raked up the stories of re-
publican election frauds in the Bowie Knife
State We doubt whether any other national
legislature ever commits the absurdity OF
setting apart whole days, in which no public
business is to be transacted but which to
be exclusively used for the purpose of giving
the lesser lights of the body an opportunity Of
airing their ideas and Of rehearsing written
speeches on miscellaneous subjects not coz
nected with pending legislation. Such an
eccentricity is peculiar to the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and would, perhaps, be unknown
even there If it were not for the existence OF
the Congressional Gl26e, in which all these
essays find resting place. The older and
more experienced members, however, rather
encourage the plan, because il relieves them
on ordinary occasions from he dagger of hav-
ing such speeches inflicted upon the House
