The horrors of railroad accidents aro always hoightenod by the absenco of propor medical atentions, which could do so much to alloviato suffering, and oftentimes to provont death. Tho Chicago & Alton Road have organized n system for the supply of doctors fn caso of such need that ought to be imitated by evory road in thocountry.

Bonntor Morton sald somothing, but only provod that his intollect wag on crutohes, 1is objections ran -after this gorb: that Bonator Schurz hod boen guilty of proparing his specch boforchand ; that ho was foreignor, and thorofore that our onrroncy s the . best in tho world. Bonator Morton will somo day discover that, with his atrocious ad- vocaoy of o currency that has always boon tho favorite dovico of the “offoto” for plundoring their subjects, he i8 & good doal more of o for- eignor than Sonator Schurz.

THE NEXT CONGRESS, The goneral elootions noxt fall aro of moro than ordinary importance, inasmuoh ag thoy will The Kaneas Oity Journal of tho 22d prints tho ‘majority roport of the Committeo sppoiuted to Investigato the charges against Josiah E. Hayes, Btate lroasurer of Kansas, finding him gulity of all tho chargas. The report ia too long to sum- marize, bub the subetauce of it is that tho Stato T'rensurer's office was turned into & broker's shop for the accommodation of private individ- unls and National Bavks, contrary to law, and that in mora than ono instanco the Stato money wag Jonued upon securities which wore kuown to be worthless. Thoe roport is signed by four of tho five members of tho Houso appointod on the Committee, and concludes with the resolution, “ That Josinh E, Hayes, Treasurer of the Stato of Kansas, bo and is heroby jmpeached for high crioes and misdemeanore in ofiico.” I is prob- ablo that the resolution will be pagsed by a largo majority, and that an extra gession of the Senate +will be called in April or May to try Ar, Hayes, Represontativo Wood has propared o bill aimed at tho infamous systom which Special Agont Jayne carried to its porfeetion, and from which ho has retired with a fortune made by plunder- ing the mercantilo community in tho livery of the United States. The bill forbids the payment of nny moleties or porquisites to any United States officor; makes the Sccrotary of the Troasury the only official who may compromige auy violation of the Revenue laws, and requires that all fines, ponaltios, and forfoitures for such offensos shall be paid into tho Unitod States Troasury. Any repotition of tho Gonorel-Order Btores swindle, in which Loot & Btooking wero so lucratively active, is tobo provonted by putting all bonded warchouses and ganeral-order stores under the managoment of the Sccretary of tho Croasury, sud forbidding any Custom-House ofiicor from having any own-~ ership or interost in them.

The publio ara already acquainted with most of the foctsin the case. The romainder arc exhibited in acorrespondence pub- lisled elsewhere, which shows that Dr. Jobnson, when he acceptod this monoy, was led to supposo that It waa contributed by the National Banks of this city a8 some sort of compensation or tosti- monial for his professional labors among the sufferers by the fire—labors which jnvolved tho entlra cossation of his private practico for a long time, and finally endod in the prostration of his own health, It now appears—and the thanks of the docont portion of tho community are aup- posed to bo due to Mr, J, O, Ruttor for forreting it out and running to Mr. Btoroy with it—that the #2600 was part of au unused and eurplus fund sont horo for tho ro- lif of bank clerks, It fs immatorial how this money came to be appropriated in the way it wag. Dr. Johngon, belng mado awaro for the firet time that il was reliof manoy, though no part of the Reliof and Ald Bocloty's funds, yosterday roturued it to Mr, Fairbank, who re- turnod it to Mr, Coolbaugh, It should now be prosented in o glass oato to the busy-body who stirrod up the muso, .Bonator Bohurz mado auothor speech on the curronoy quostion in tho Senato yesterday, He dwolt on tha speatealo nfforded by tho Bonato, the highoat leglalative body in the Republic, in result in tho chioice of a now Congress.

Thore nover was n time boforo when the’pooplo wore so unanimous in domanding iuvestigation of frouds, and so doterminod that publio cor- ruption ehall bo exposed and punished. Notwithetanding this tompor of tho poo- plo, Congress has utterly failed to do its mon who Liave no_ intorest in socreoy, Botween noyw and sutumn tho people Lave timo to find thoso mon, It thoy do not, they have no right to complain of corrnption lieronfior SOME WHITED SEPULOHRES.

Still othors have conducted thoir iuvestigations with closod doors, and for political considorations have whitownshod tho guilty partics. Thero is no hopo that the mombora of the present Con- gress will over investigato frauds. Thoy haven't the courage to do it, and thoy don't want to do it. Committeos are appoiuted to find something which thoy don't want to find. Tho people thorefore must look to it that next fall they clean out those moral incapables and send to Congress mon who hinve the disposition togo to tho bottom of things. Investigation must bo committod to the hands of those whom investigation will not hurt. Thia work can only be done by new men, Among tho things re- quiring invostigation, and which will not bo in- vestigatod until now mon arc sent to Washing- ton, may be mentioned the following: 1. Tho Sonborn contracts, which the prosent Congress {8 already beginning to concoal from tho public view. Thoy will have to dotormino how the law was passed which allows Custom- Houso officers and such detoctives as thoy may appoint to seizo the books and paporsof mer- chants, in order to hunt up ovidenco against them ; how in the shiort space of four yoars and alslf tho Govornment bas boen able to oxtort from the morchants of Now York and Boston alono over 82,600,000, and paid as much to do- tectives and informers for collecting it; why tho Collector of New York, for instance, whose ealary is £06,000, has a renl salary of $50,000 ; and why thecletks of Phelps, Dodgo & Co,, nnd Jovdan, Marsh & Co,, and other large importing Liouses, have beon paid fortunes to manufacture cases nganst thoir employers ; and, lastly, why Mr, Bonjamin Butler hee been found bebind theso blackmailing coniracts, ready and ablo to foll Investigation. 9, The affairs of the District of Columbia and the operations of ‘‘Bosa" Bhephord must be vontilated. It must be shown why furthor ap- propriations aro asked for aud why so much money has been squandored.

Ho will como forward with cnough documonts and papors to confuse & Philsdelphia lawyer, snd that will probably bo the last we shall hear of the District corrup- tiona. 8, The Indlan Ring, from the Interior Depart- ment at Washington to the most remots Agent on tho frontier, must bo inventigatod, and it must bo shown why this Ring has insugurated an Indian war j how it is that the appropriations, which were to meot the exponses of the Indiang until next July, are already squandered, snd ‘more monoy and supplies aroasked for ; and who 18 in coliusion with Indisn Agonts to divide this new plunder. 4, Tho now Congress will have to inquire into the facts of the Fort Snolling swindle, and ex- plain, if it can bo explained, ow the man Stecle was ouabled to got 7,200 acros of valuablo land and Lis purcliase-monoy back for nothing, sttor having had twelve years' occupanoy of tho promisos, 6.

Anattompt was made to invostigato tho frauds connocted with the subsidios granted ta the Paciflo Mail Steamship Company, but It was immodiately husbed up, This must bo ro- sumed, and tho affairs of the Company sifted to tho bottom, . 7. Tho oporationd of the Union Pacifio Credit Mobitier have been very thoroughly ventilsted, ‘but thero s abundant repson to beliavo that tho operations of tho Ceutral Pacific Oradit Ao- biller wero 8till more corrupt, Gov, Booth, of Call.fomh, who goos to tho Senato next yoar, will demand an investigation, and it s of tho utmost importanco tnat the mombors of tho noxt Congress ald him in tha effort. 8.

Another advertisor in tho Advance offers to send s prizo picture to suybody free of charge. Ha pays for the ad- vertigemont and the ploture, end offers them gratuitously toall the world.

The romovel of the Collector of tho Port of Boslon strongly illustratos tho degradation of tho Civil Bervico to the puvposcs of merg per- sonal strife. Judge Russell was Collector of Boston, aud was an honest, faithful, compotent, and sotisfactory officor. Buddenly ho was re- moved, and one Bimmons, n local polition] strilcer, was nominated to tho Senato &s bis suc- cossor. It thon becamo known that tho Prosi- dont had made tho changoe at the roquest of Bou Datlor, who wanted » porsoual friend in the offico. Tho other membors of Congress from ‘Massnchusotts immediately filod a protest againat Simmons, beeause ho was a friend of Butlor and the enomy of Butler's enemies. Tho opposition to Simmons’ confirmation hay included nonrly all tho business men of Boston, mainly for the same roason, It ia domanded that tho Presldout with- draw tho nomination, becauso the nomineo will use bhis patronago and powor to compel tho Re- publican party of Massachusotts to nominato Butler for Govornor, ) Woak as wo may suppose the President must have beon whon e removed a compotent ofticor I ordor to appolut & friand of Butlor, how much wonlcor will ho appear if ho withdraws tho nomi- vation for tho samo rosson. What las the Col- lector of tho Port of Doaton, or of any other port, or what has any other Fedoral oflicor, to do with packing conventions, and buying delogates for or against any candidato for any oftico to bo olooted by tho people? Tho Colleotor of tho Port of Boston has cortain snacifled dutics to perform, snd thoy aro purely of a business char- actor, Offoially ho has no more right to lug his patronage into tho olection of n Governor of Massachueotts then he hos to interfero in the olection of s King of tho Sandwich Islands, Should ho usa Lis ofilco in thiat way, ho ought to bo dismisged. . At the last Republican Btato Convention in Massachusetts, high ground was taken on this subjoct, and yet, carefully con- sidered, it was not vory high ground after ail, Tho Convoution protested agaiust the practice of porsons holding Fodersl offfico using tho ‘patronage and influenco of those offices to seouro the nomination by the Republican party of cor- tain persons for State offices; such con- duct® they cortified to the President ought to securo the dismissal of the offendors. The Convention failed to declaro that tho intor- ferenco of Federsl oficoholders in State politics, whether to control nominating conventions or popular elections, was such a departure from official duty a8 should demand their dismissal, The high-toued morality of that Convention sought to draw a distinction between an officiny intorferonco to dotermine o contest within tho Republicau party and tho far more offensive and disreputable interforenco to control & pop- ular election. They denounced the moto in Bon Butler's cye, and treated with indifferonco tho beam in their own, They were willing to have- the corruption funds, the blaokmail, sud all tho ofticin! machinery to sid in tho election of their candidates ; all they objected to was tho uge of theso samo means to control the nominations of tho party. Thoir declaration of official rectitude was fashioned to meet 6n sbbroviated morality, and tho presont complication is one of tho o Bults of their shortcomings, Ben Butlor gocks & higher positlon than any ho haa yot attnined. Ho resorts naturally to the samo menus that are usod by every other Con- grossmon and Senator who lacks tho porsonal ‘morit and qualities to recommend him to public favor. Justat this time tho *party * in Ili- nois is becoming distracted over tho choico of & United Btates Senator to bo mado throo yoars henco. 'The Federal officesare distributed to moot that contingenoy, and even tho quostion of prosoouting and punishing defaultors depends to o great oxtent upon tho other guostion whother the defaulter supports this or that man for Sonator in 1877, Theso are tho qualifica- tions for holding Federal offico in Iilinols, and also in Mossachusotts, Why should not Butlor Dbave an oqual chance with tho othera ? It will not doto say that Butlor is opposed by tho 4 rospoctable ¥ peoplo of his Stato, be- .caugo thoro may bo 8 dificulty iu drawing tho lino botweon those who aro rospectablo and those who are not. He hag tho confidonee of tho Prosidont to a groater extout than any othor man iu Congross from Now En- gland, aud that ought to makoe him respetable. | In ofticial circlos ho outrauke his onemies. Why ghould tho Presidont proscribe his friend Sim- mous, and why should Simmons bo proderibed becauso ho is the frioud of t.3 Prosident's friond ? If those gonttomen in Massschusetis want ro- form in official appointments, thoy must take Ligher ground than they did at the Worcester Convention of last year., Thoy muat donounce tho wholo syatem upon which Fedoral appoint- ments aro mado, and they must insist upon ab- solute nou-interforonco by Fedoral ofiicors with eithor party convontions or popular elections, T.ot tho Collector of Boston attond to his dutios at tho Onstom-Housp, and lob the peoplo attend to their clections, Theu thoy e¢an protest with somo decoucy ngainet such transctions as tho removal of Rusuell and tho appointmont of Bim- moiu, Btatisticlans, relying on figures that never lie, give u man un avorago of one yoar ot imarried ' folicity botore ha dios, {s divorcad, or consigned to tho lunatio asylum, Thesonot too gonorous statistioal opportunitics have boon grossly and ungallantly nogleoted.

AUr. A. Vogol thonght 1t was quoor that thoso muloon-kespors who sold the most beer woro just ihe ones who did not attend tho moetings. From this ho had to conclude tho Goschwotlonen (blnsted onos) would continue to got tholr boor at tho old price, and ouly tho smnll seloon-koeopors would hnve to poy the increasa. Mr. H. Motz nssured thom that if o wufliciont number of saloon-koepers stuck togother they would ultimataly succeed. COMING DOWN.

Tho browers were no moio united than the saloon-keopers. United action -~ wns necessary to bring tho browors to torms. They could no moro do without tho saloon-keepers than tho saloon- keopers without the browers, TITE SUNDAY ORDINANCE. But not only on nccount of he browers must they bo united ; there wero otherstill moro severe diftfoultios lurking in the noar future. In spito of tho glorious victory last full, the Sunday or- dinnnes wos atill on the statute-boolk, and the loglslntors at Springtield lnd snothor atill more sovero tomporanea lnw undor considoration.

M. M, METZ said éhat the Executivo Committeo had issned a call to saloon-keepers to join Luo liborsl-minded Citizous, but vory few had compliod. Tho So- ciety hnd dono all'in its power, and if onough Sas not accomplishod it was tho fault of thoso who rofused to join such a noble nasociation.

It tho first night of Mr. Booth's engagement ‘was 8 succens o8 viewed from the box-ofiice, tho second was & elill gronter one, overy secnt in tha louno being ocoupied, and an unusual arrsy of wall-flowers hedging the Jowor part of the wall. Even tho gallery partook of tho surfeit of audi« ence, and looked oil the bottor for the novelty. “ Othello ™ was tho piece, witt Mr, Booth in tho titlo rolo, Mies Patomsn as Desdemona, aud James O'Neil a8 Jaco. It is not long since “Othollo” was played In the ity by Salvini's incomparable compnny, . with tho groat tragedian himsclf in the loading rolo, and, in spito of the proverb sgeinut comparisons, swo must placo the two in contrast once moro. While tlioro can be but one opinion as to which is the moro comprobonsive concoption of the charncter, and while Salvini’s Olhello ranka among tho greatest characters of tho stage, candor domands that Mr, Booth is allowed the moit of realizing moro accurately Shakspoare'a idlen, and that of tho less fervid tomporamont of our zone, - It is not in uuy way like that which Salviui rondors, and tho colossnl passion of the Italian tands to dwarf tho intollectual fren~ zy of tho other, Mr, Baoth's Othello is that of trudition, aud he dare not, if ho desired, fling away tradition. Balvini's is o bold croation of his own gonius from tho toxt. Mr. Booth's hag Deon created by years of patient study; every tone and actiou hias boon woighod and adopted not according to ity naturalness, but with a view to its offcct; just as an artist, by a dash of the brush, produces somothing whicls, ot the propet distance, throws ont his thought more plainly ta tho eye. Such effects arc schieved mot bya servilo following of nature, but by the aps plication of art, This is the system ot tho mods orn school,—tho old school it is sometimes called, and orroncously, sinco Mr. Booth is an improvement of the old school.—which, in its perfection, gives us Booth, and at its other ox- remo, auong tho stupid slives of mora trus dition'without art, the ranting and mouthing of tho * poriwig-patad fellow.” "Mr. Dooth's fine intollect, rara ‘qu of voicy, feature, aud graco- ful gotion, snd, nbove all, his porfect olocution, liavo combined to place tho old school boforo this goneration in Its most favorablo sspoct.
