Another victim of tho slaughter on the Long Island Railroad on Monday died at a late hour on Monday night, {m consequence of the injuries sustained. This last vic- tim is the one spoken of aa George Laull, a resident of Newtown, whose leg was so severcly fractured that @mput=tion was decided to be the only method which ‘could be resorted to to save his life, The operation was | -duly performed, although the sufferer protested vehe- mently against it, and he seemed to feel somewhat re- eved shortly after the operation, and slept soundly, ‘and, to all appearances, composedly for some time, Besides the wound in the leg he had been severely ‘Wounded in the abdomen, and during the course of the might he suffered terribly for some time, until death came ‘and reloased' him from his tortures.

MORE CARS NREDED. It 1s stated by gentlemen who are in the daily habit of riding on the Long Island Railroad that the company, from some reason best known to themselves, seldom place cars enough upon the track to fully accomm the large number of passengers riding to and from Jamaica, and barely a train passes over the road that peo- ple are not compelled, from sheer lack of space witht crowd together upon the forward and rear platforms, thus interfering with the duty of tho brakesmen and placing thomselves in a dangerous position should a collision or other accident chanos to occur. It is a sad and severe commentary upon this parsimonious arrangement of the company that nearly every person killed or wounded upon the train on Monday was thus caught standin, upon the platforms of the overcrowded. carriages. would be natural to suppose that, after receiving such a severe lesson, the men having the making up of the trains, under the orders of the superintendont of the line, would begin to see the necessity for using a larger number of cars, and thus rendering standing upon the platform entirely unnecessary; but the information re- Ceived as to yosterday’s porformances on the road would indicate the contrary. Again are repeated the same complement of carriages, the same large collection of passengers, and of course the same crowding upon the dangerous platforms. Tho horrible lesson Intely given the corporation having failed to impart wisdoin, there may be reason for belief that nothing undor the heavens can b-at an idea into the heads of the persons managing the affairs of tho road iu question. Their recent victims, and those who may be made victims, cry aloud for more carriages, A correspondent writes to ond of the evening journals as follows :— Why is it that in all railroad murders tho wituesses try to put the blame on the engineers or conductors? ‘hy not come out like men and bo rg are the guilty parties, as in the cage of the Long Island Railroad? Tho conductors who were examined yesterday in relation to the murder (it was no accident) on the Long Island Kail- road know just where the blame attaches, hut have not the courage to say 80. y know that the morning mail train and the afternoon express never leave Hun- ter’s Point depot on time.

Let the Coroner fore him and his jury the engineors and con- uel the road, and, under oath, let them answer how often the trains leave Hunter's Point on the time set down in the time table, and how often they arrive at their deatmation on time. How many brakemen have thoy on the heavy passenger trains Saturday after- noons and Monday mornings? What is the known con-- dition of the passonger cars and locomotives drawing th« same, except Ane rant and hemeemen hago is neral feeling of passengors ravel over Toad, ber whom do they blame for the general neglect their comfort safety? After they have answered the above questions, let the Coroner summon five bun- drod passengers,’examine each one as to his or her ox- perience in railroad travel over the long Island Rail- road, and if his jury want to know whore to put the nag then they are not the intelligent men I take thom | to be, Nasnvitia, Tenn., August 20, 1965.

Dusrenate Assavut on an Orricen BY 4 Cat.—-A very romarkable and dangerous asrault was committed on officer Shea, of the Fifth precinct, about half-past one o'clock yesterday morning. It appears that he was on duty in Caroline street, and observed a large cat standing on the pavement near him. In moment, and without warning, the cat sprang upon and caught him by the leg, above the knee, with his teeth, biting and scratching the officer in a very serious manner. Shea made a vigorous Sffort to shake off the infuriate feline assailant, but with- out being able to do so, drew his locust and killed the cat. Finding he had received a serious injury, the officer reportod the case at the station house, at which time the wound was so much inflamed and the limb swollen that he La to the Now York Hospital for surgical treat- mont.

The main object of this meeting was to consider the movement now agitating for the members to cease work at four o'clock on Saturday afternoons. The chairman asked what course they were going to pursue. They must all hayo a fixed dotormination to leave off work at four, and to have that course marked out, so that It could not be misunderstood. It was urged that nearly every other trade in New York could give over business at an carly bour on Saturdays.

Official information has reached General Terry’s head ‘On W Mr. MoGroom put on the paper a no- quarters that the Secretary of War has officially notified Brovet Brigadier General John E. Mulford, the agent on the part of the United States for the exchange of prison- ers of war, that he is to remain in the service of the country. This notification was the result of an applica- tion by Genera! Mulford to be mustered out of his com- mission; but, notwithstanding that the Thirtieth infan- try New York Volunteers, the regiment of which he ts colonel, was yesterday mustered out at Raleigh, North Carolina, the War Department is not yet prepared to dispense with the services of one who has done so much, by the exeoution of the duties of his office as the head tice of motion for the appointment of @ committoe to report upon the expense of enlarging the St. Lawrence and Welland canals t0 jaccomm the large trade of the Western States. This croated @ lively debate, in which the ministry declared their desire to renew the Reciprocity treaty and their wish to enlarge the canals; but they refused Lo give any pledge to submit a measure for such enlargement. ‘The opposition, learning that the ministry wore favor- able to the canal ¢ mont, wore not satistied vith thoir explanation and their slowness to act, and decided yesterday to placo the uinistry in a position whereby they and their supporters could not dodge the issue, According! evening, when Mr. G Finance Minw- ter, moved the House into Committee of the Whole on the: Estimates, Mr, Holton arose, and, referring to the pre- vious declaration of ministers, deciared that the oppo sition were dtssatisfied with their explanations, and wished to piace their views on record. je made an able and scathing speech, and concluded by moving the Towing resolution ag an amendment :-- Resolved, That the renewal of the Reciprocity — with the United States ts by the people of this 08 as an Object of the utmost importance; and to secure that obj2ct, as well as to augment the trade and advance the general prosperity of the country, it is ox- = that the work of eplarging the Welland and St. Lawrence canals should not be postpoved, but presned at period in preference to any other work involving considerable expense to the country. | ‘This resolution fell upon the ministry like @ thundor. | clap.
