NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS. “Tho precsura upon our columns on Sunday morning 1880 great that wo aro comptled to requost advertieera torend In their advertisementa for that fssue ot us oazly an hiour as posatble, n ordor tht they may with certalnty socuro tho proper classifleation. Thonuperiorily of Amorican mothiods of inatruo_ tion is shewn by the fact that in the Departmont of Eduention at Vienna twenty-five prizes bave beon avwrded Amorican oxhibitors. Chicago nnd Ciucinnnti have cach won the Grand Medsl of Progress for thoir oducational systoms, and Trcheonviile, I, rocoives a roward of merit. Sunday beor was the main question befors the special meoting of the Council last ovonlng. A proponed ordinance was called up, allowing the gale of liquor on Sunday provided it wor dono behind elused doors and windows. A motion to postpone connidoration of the quastion was lost, &xd tha cidinance was theu recommitied to the le, A reduction of through freights to Now York, sver tho Uoledo, Wabash & Westorn Rond, was jecided nupon yosterdsy, In o consullation at Springtield Letween ofiicors of the rond. First and nccond-class freights aro lowered to 48 zonts n hundrod pounds; third and fourth class to 30 couts & hundred pounds; 80 cents s hundred pounds will bo charged for apocial froight. It ia foo soon to indulgoe in felicilations over Mr. Brunot's last treaty with tbe Crows, by which thet tribo bavo agreed to trade off a resor- vation of six and o quartor millions of acres for ono of only two millions. A hitherto unnoticed clause in the Indian Appropriation bill of 1871 i3 found to probibit trenty negotintions with any Indian tribe. No wsubsequent legislation is known to have repenled this enactmont ; and it in claimed that, under it, tho treaty just con- cludad with the Crows is invalid, as is also the Bhermun-Augur treaty of 1868, which has nover Loon ratifiad by Congross. An iucorruptible ofice-holdoer hias been found ot lasl, though the proof thus far deponds apon his own confesgion, His name is Harden- burgl, and Lic ia the Burveyor-Ganoral of Cali- fori Iis sintemont is that a man named Chapmen fivnt sppronched Mrs. IHardenburgh aud offored to make her hushand's office worth 100,000 & year if he would allow Chapman ta run it Tho wifo, it appears, rofused to lend her influemco to any euch liberal aivangement, Chapman then wont to Hardenburgh himself, and laid down before him a roll of §23-gold picces, amounting to soveral hundred dollars, but the honest Burveyor-Gen- cral would not touch them. It is not likoly that Mr. Hardenburgh would havo dared to admit all this had it not boen for the fact that Chapman and othor land-grabbers bad combined to securo Lis rewoval from offico. =4, 3r.

Ho loft 8600,000 to°s cortain locality, which waa to bo called McDonough, and not one dollar of this has beon applied. Buch is tho purport of the oharge, though it is not yot stated in what monnor tho vaat estato has been de- ploted. It is to bo hoped that the time is not far dis- tant whon thore will be & system of signals to warn troins of tho approach of other trains cithor in front or at the rear. Wo are informed that the Alton Road hos beon in correspondence with certain partics in Austria In regard to what aro known as “block signals,” which throw an electric light at night, or a signal in the day, ono mile in front and one mile to tho rear, sod change ns theso blocks, or distances, aro travorsed. Thoso signals aro hortly to be tested on somo portion of the Alton Road. It would not bo safo to adopt thom without a thorongh test of their efficiency and roliability ; for, if thoy wera adopted and trusted, and yot should oceasionally fail, they might work moro injury than good. Owo great troublo in regard to eloo- tric sigols in this country is found in the cli- mate, The climeto of England, and of most of tha Continental countries, is more favorable to tho steady working of electric signals than our own, which furnishes so meny suddon changes and sovers storms, Male tyrants may well shudder when they resd the acconnt of tho recont meoting of Bpiritual- ists at Robinson Hall, in Now York City. Tho meeting opened with a epeech by Mra, Claflin, tho mothor of tho notorious Woodhull, who mado & frantic denunciation of Col. Blood, and finally got 8o violent that sho had to be stopped by main force. Thon & glib young lady, namod Dumar, got the fleor, and, after sailing along quiotly for a fow minutes, got mixed up in_ tho ‘Woodhull matter, which again brought Mrs, Claf- 1in to Lor feet, who callod Miss Dumar o liar, and bind to bo carried, sbricking aud screaming, out of tho hall. Quiot baving besn rostoroed, Miva Dumar once noro commenced, but with no bet- tor success than at fivet, for she soon stirrod up Mrs. Miles, an antagonistic and muscular sister of Mrs, Woodbull, who sdvauced to tho stand, brandishing hor flst and screaming at the top of hor lungs, with the ovident intontion of annihilating tho glib young womsan. 8he, too, had to bo cmried out, snd then thoe whole pack But to sereaming and shouting, and the meoting finally broke up in disorder. Conmdering the fact that this meeting was composed of women almost ex- clusively, wo ropent that the male tyrants may well shudder at tho .prospect of these down- troddon victima gotting their rights. The accopted theory among the reilrond men in rogard to Boano's insane conduct iz leaving Lomont siation on the time of tho passonger truin with which his coal traln collided is, thet Boano told tho truth wheu ho said that he for- got ull about No. 4" Tho reasons for bolioving this aro, thiat it has been ascortained beyond n doubt that Beano was sober ot the time, and bo- eause ho had orders ¢o keep olear of No. 1, the mail train from St. Louis, which was bohind time, No. 1 Laving got ahead of him all “right, bis mind was cleared of the responsibility, aud ho forgot all about tho other train which was coming toward him. Unroasousblo ns this thoory may appear, it is tho only ono that can account for tho collision if Beano was tho com- petent, oxperionced man he is said to bo, and if lie hadn't taken a drop of liquor, which scoms to bo the fuct. Thero are two points which this thecry suggests: If Doano had an ordor from tho trnin-dispatehier in rogard to No. 1, hoshould algo have hud an order in regard to No. 4, which way likowiso out of time, A telegraphio ordor in rogard to o train at the rear, and no ordor in regard to a train in front, whou all wore running wild, was naturally caloulated to causo Boane to pay moro attontion to the movemonts of train No.1than to thoso of train No, 4. This indi- cates that the uso of the telograph, oxcept by o regular system, may do moro harm than goad, e r—— ROBBING RAILROAD.TRAINS, Onr ronders will rendily eall to mind tho fact that, on tho 218t of last mouth, n train on the Chicugo, Rock Islaud & Pacific ltond was wrecl- od near Adair, Tows, by obstruotions placed on tho track by & gang of disguived dosporndoos; that tho engineor was shot by thom ; and that, aftor futimidating tho passongors, thoy robbed tho safe of the oxpross-mossenger and made good tholr oscapo. ‘Tho systematic manner in'| which the work was accomplishiod, and tho suc- cossof tho robbors alwo, mot only in making thelr immediato oseapo, but in eluding subso- quont pursuit, showoed very conclugively that this was not an operatlon sot on faot at hap-hazard, but was the work of a gang of thioves, rogularly organized for railrond rob-, borien, Tho dovelopmonts made Ly telograph in our issuo of yesterday, concorning additional attompts to wreek and rob .trains, confirm aud catablish boyond o doubt this fact, that hereat- tor, unless some {mmediate measures aro takon to provent it, any traln on the Iar-Westorn the Iapuibal & St near Kausan Clty; and third, on iho Atlantlo & Pacifle, nenr Loaven- worth, Fortuuntoly, tho viliaing waere unsuc- conaful in onch instanco; in the first caso, bo- cauro tho passongors woro. proparod for tho rufllang; in the wocoud, bocanso the engincor dizcovored the obstruction un tho track boforo ho ronchod it; and In tho third; bocanso tho attompt to shoot the ongincer and firoman failed, Thore Is ovory roason to beliove, from theso and numor- oug other attempts which have heon made of lato, thnt tho robbing of rallrond tralns road Josoph, socond, on wost of tho Misslsslppi lns bocomo & regular profossion, and that the ruf~ flans who sro engaged in it bavo an oxtonsive and thoroughly-systematized or- ganization, Rallroad pnesongors, thorafore, traveling through that country have the dismal cousolation of !u'mwlug that oven if thoy oscapo tho numorous chances of injury from collisions, explosions, or carolossncss of railrond employos, thoy yet stand & chanco of bolng thrown from tho track aud killed, or of boing robbed andshot. It this stato of things continuos, life will bo of vory littlo account on tho trans-Afissisippi rail- roads, and s person sotting out upon a journoy in that direction might as woll mnko his will and his poaco with the world before ho starts, Tho chancoa againet him are moro than evon. The prompt and gallant action of the conductor of tho Missourl Pacifio train, Lowevor, shows that it is not necossary for this stato of things to continue, Ho proved himself to b thomastor of tho eituntion, and his examplo furnishes the suggeation of o remedy which would bo com- plote in overy instance. Tho ongincer of the ‘train in quostion discovered the obstructions on tho track in timo to save his train. Tho ruf- flans, thwarted in their offorts to throw the tralu off, boardod tho roar car, and informed the conductor that thoy wero n vigilanco committee looking for horse-thioves, and proposed to eoarch tho passengors. Tho conductor, who know them and their objects, at onco proporsd thoy should do nothlug of the lund, and, drawing his revolver, turned to tho passengers und eaid to them that, if a suficlont nuwmber of them would stand by him, he would seo that thoy committed no violenco. Fifteon pnasen- gorsatonce had their rovolvors out and confronted tho cowardly ruffians and kopt them ot bay until the train reached Ioldon. At this poiat, the gang got out ; but ono of them, becoming s littlo indiscreot, got o bullet put through him, which onded his rallrond-robbing, sad anothor one got o romindor whick will last him for somo littlo timo. It is only to bo rogrotted that the passon- gors did not shoot the wholo gang, and thus mako clenn work of it. The suceess of the con- ductor and his little army, however, shows, without any further noed of argument, just how railrond robberies mny be stopped, and it has o valuablo suggestion both for railroad compnnies and for passongera. Every passen- gor train has from ton to fifteen employes of tho road aboard, who could at any timo mnko o vory offectivo resistanco, if they were properly armed by the company. If, in addition to this, tho passengers would nlso arm thomaeclves and would shoot when the opportunity offered, rail- rond robberics in the West would scon bo discontinued. There is nothing which is 8o discouraging to theso cntthroats as thodiscovery that other peoplo can shoot and kill as well ag they. The only condition connocted with the shooting is ono of promptness, Thoe ruffians should bo Lilled on sight. The job should be done promptly and with dispatch. No one will over question tho matter or manner of thelr tal- ing off, The onormity of their crime doos not warrant them in any priviloge oxcopt that of boing Lillud liko ao many wild beasts. Thoro s no orime in the calendar more moustrous than that of wrecking and robbing & passenger traln, and the monsicrs who, for the sake of money, will deliberately expose the lives of hundreds of mon, womou, and childron to the most torrible of denths, aro outlaws who have placed them- golves oulside the pale of humanity, and do- servo the death of brutes. The n- ductor and passongers on thim particular train have conforred an obligation upon the ontira traveling public by their prompt and gallant conduct, Traveling on the Missourl Tacific Railrond will bo eafo hereaftor, and tuis particular gang of desporadoes Will not bo in n hurry to rob any more trains. A fow more casos of shooting with intent ¢o kill will speedily rid the country of those rufans, ] ALLEGED INHUMANITY, We have Licen at paius to invostigato a charge of inhumanity mado against tho oflicors of tho Chicngo & Alton Railrond, to the offect that thoy withheld information in regard to the Lomont disustor from tho frionds of ihe sufforers. Tho statement is mado that the friends in Springfiold conld not and did not lanrn any particulars of thoe accident until tho arrival of the train from flio wreck nt 4 o'clock on Sundny aftornoon. It might, with equal truth, bo said that the peoplo of Chicago, maaning the bulk of the inhabitants, diduot know any dotails of tho disnstor until tho appenranco of the Monday morning papers, bo- causo'thoro was no means of communicating the nows bofore their publication, The officera of the Alton Road woroe cortainly not to blamo for this, If, however, tho statemont was intonded to convoy tho improssion that tho Bpringfiold frionds of the dead aud injured wore not in- formod of their condition, it is not truo. We linve asceriained that, as enyly as 9 o'clock Sun- day morning, Suporintendent MeMullen {ole- gmphied to tho Springflold agent of tho road tho mows of the desth of Mesurs, Little and Davotblies, and of tho serious injuries, which subsequently resulted in death, of Capt, Bmith and Mr. Floury, and directed him to commumicato this intelligouce to their friends, Bhortly after thin hour, whick mst have boon tho very eurliost momont aftor tho Buporintendont had boon able to roach his ofiico from his worl of caring for the Injurod, a prominont citizon of Bpringfleld cano to nake inquiries about the Springfield people on.tho traln. Tho Suporintondent toolk him to the opo- rntor to noe whotlior the message had boon ro- ceived at Bpringflold, It was nsoortalned that it liad been duly recoived. The Springfleld gone tleman thon volunteorod to dovote himsel! to the desd and wounded from Springflcld— at the oxponso of tho Company of courso ~—an offer (hat was gratofully accoptod. I'bis {a the gontloman who publisbed the cord oxanerating tho ofticors of the rond from thp unjust charges, aud his word is entltled to per- foct crodit. Loug boforo 4 o'clock on Bunday afternoon, whon it 1s enid that the firet informa- tion was recolved at Bpringfleld, wovoral di- patohos hed pavsed backward and forward in ro- gord to tho injured, aud the Buporintondent had made arrangoments for spoolal trains from both ronds iu liablo to be thrown from tho track and robbed. In ono day, three of theso attempts Wero mado—frat, on the Missourl Pacifio Rall- Bpringfleld and Jolist to saccommodute tho frlends of the dead aud wounded, Wo beliove that Mr, Latilo, & brother of tho Cupt. Little who wns killed, was in the Bpringflold ofiico wlion the onrly dispatoh came, Wo are fmprossed with tho beliof that Buper- intendont MoMullen,: and those nssociated with him, iminediately upon recolving nows of the disnstor, and from that time on, did overything in human power to alleviato tho suffering of thé unbappy vielims, and to send all possiblo in- formation by tolegraph to frionda throughout tho conntry. - The complaints at Springflold origi- nated among poople who thought they might hove frionds on board the train, or whose frionds, boing on board,” wero not injured. It wna not tho duty of the Railrand Com- pany to inform tho frionds of tho uninjured; theso persons should have taken tho enrlicst opportunity to inform thelr familios nud friends of their safoty. Onoe of the firat things which Mr, Modullen did aftor reach- ing tho wrock was to geb as complote s list s possiblo of tha dead and wounded, and thelr ros- idonces, His tirst concorn, aftor reaching COhl- engo and providing for tho sufforers, waa to tako this lst, fuform the friends, and provide means for thom to rench Ohicago. We do not boliove that any man could have beon more prompt and energotio than ho was, undor tlie same circum- stancos. Whatevor blame attachos to tho Alton Railway Company for the colllslon itsol?, thera {sno shadow of inhumanity resting on tho ofi~ cors after tho acaldont ocourred. Everything which tho occasion demanded, and which human rosources could provide, was unquostionably fur- nishod. THE BITE OF TRE COUNTY HOSPITAL, The Board of County Commissionors, at tholr mooting on Bondny last, voted to purchase sov- eral small blocks of ground containing nine acres on the cornor of Ashlaud svounuo and Twelfth atroot for 168,750, payablo in county bonda at per, boaring 7 por cent intorcst. Tho purchass was fora sito for tho now County Hospital, and tho prico was at the rate of 817,660 por acro. Wo do not object to the purchaso of o sito for the County Mospital, nor to ita location at somo point of ensy nccesa; nor do wo thiok the pur- chaso of nina dorea ill advised ; but we decidodly question tho purchnse of a lot on ono of the aristocratio avenues of tho city, at tho rate of $17,660 per noro, whon othor lots and blocks, oqually conveniont of access, but not on such avenuo, could bopurchased for much loss monoy. Ashland avenuo is alroady onoof the handsom- ot stroots in tho city; ite great width, tho costly stylo of the buildings, tho great expensoe incarred in adorning it with forest troos, have ®ll givon to’ tho property on that strecot & high valuo as rosidenco proporty. ‘Wo question tho policy of purchasing a sito fora County Hospital on & strcot whero tho value of the property is so much advancod Doyond that of other proporty in tho neighbor- hood fully a5 convenient for hospital purposes. ‘Wo know that owners of adjoining proporty are by no means anxious to have = hospital for o neighbor. Thoy would rather give somothing to have tho hospital located clsowhore, and, there- foro, fewor bids wore offered than would havo been had tho improvement been for somo other purposo, Yot that furnishes no reason why the county should purchaso the most expensive sito that was offored. Tho gonoral location of the hoapital fs, per- hiaps, unobjactionable; it is about four milos dis- tant from Chicago avonue and Clark stroot, and two miles distant from State and Twelfth stroats; ite distanco from other parts of the ity can be rondily estimated. Boing of nocessity so remote from the North and South Divisions and from the largor part of the West Division, its loca~ tion ounywhoro within o mile in either airectlon from tho site selected would add nothing to inconvenience. It might bo located nom the junction of Twolfth streot and Wostern avenue, or, bot- tor still, o half-milo onst, south, or north of the sito choson, without lessoning its gonoral ac- cessibility, or rondering it in any dogree loss useful. Twolfth stroct is snd always will boa grand thoroughfare, and by that stroet the hos- pital oan bo renched whorever it may bo located in the southwost part of the city. As port of this transaction, we ropublish the voto on making this somewhat extraordinary ex-~ pendituro, onabling the publio, who know tho soveral Comumlssionors, to soo who voted for and who againsb,—tho latter favoring some cheapor lot. Tho vota was a8 follows : Yeas—Aston, Orawford, Horting, Jones, Lonergan, Pabiman, Roello, Russell, and Miller—9, Nays—Boguo, Clough, Gallowsy, Harrls, Harrlson, and Binger—0, In the dobato, Commissioner Harrison fatated that tho presont ownors of tho lot paid only $100,000 for it & littlo whilo ago, and that the in- creaso was oxorbitant, This statomont, if cor- rect, would indicato its purchase for tho pur- pose of solling it to tha county for a hospital. Tho $50,000 or £60,000 that can bo saved ih the purchuse of a sito would go far to pay for the orcotion of tho building. Thetract of land purchased by the County Board ig at present divided by no loss than three atreots, all of which will have to bo vacatod be- fore the grounds will be available for the pur- poso for which it is bought, The County Board bave mno suthority to vacato those streets nor tho alloys in tho moveral blocks included in the purchase, This can only bo done by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the city. It is, thorofore, this Bonrd that ultimately must completo tho trans- action, Though tho county includes thae city, it is tho city that will have to pay nine-touths of tho cost, and it is not probable that three-fourths of the Couucil will sgroo to purchase an Ashland avenua lot for o hospital when n chesper and oquully acoossible lot can be had elsowhero. — its 'The opposition to tho endowment of the Duke of Edinburgh, in viow of his approsching mar- ringe, doca not comie alono from the working- men and the Republicans, Tho sodate Lopdon Examiner is moro bitter in its opposition than any of the Lwo formor clasees have boen, In a rocent issue, ita aspersions upon the royal family woro very sevoro.
