The recent terrible disaster at Angola on the Lake Shore Railroad, and the frequency of accidents on what might be called at pregcnt the iron highway of dostruction, imperatively call for # thorough scientific investigation into the causes. of these ‘calamities and their | amelioration. The iron steed has latterly be- come the synonym of the pale horse of the’ Apocalypse, and the travelling community have constantly visions of broken rails; deadiy switches, collisions, roasting, scalding and brulsing processes before their eyes. Now, it the railroad be considered as one of the great civilizers of the present age, why the sooner we go back to barbarism again the better, a» | long as cars indulge in the disagreeable habit « jumping down precipices, or two trains en- deavor to pass each other on the same track. There must be an efficient remedy devised to | put a stop to these “accidents.” The stereo- | typed verdicts of coroners’ juries—“ No definite reason can be assigned for the acci dent,” “No human foresight could haye pr br | Vented the catastrophe,” “We come to the | conclusion that the precautions against disaster on this railroad are not suffcient”—are mere trifling with the extent of the danger and of | practical nullity, Let there be a convention | of men who are intimately connected with rail- roads, men whose opinions on the subject are en- | titled to consideration, and let each State Legis- lature give the subject the attention it deserves, | treating it entirely outside the political ma- chine, and a system of railroad management can be devised by which the lives of the travel- ling public will be insured against danger. There have been mony exceilent suggestions | made by practical railroad men since the An- gola slaughter, One recommends the coupling of the cars on the English principle of compres- sion, thereby avoiding the dangerous. oscilla- tion at high rates of speed resulting from the | “links and pins” system of coupling. The principle has been adopted on some of our leading railroads and appears to give general | satisfaction, Again, the plan of steel rails, which Commodore Vanderbilt proposes to ap- ply to hia four-in-hand railroad team, might be made general in every part of the country. Another suggestion is movable or detached tops for cars, whereby the passengers may not ‘be imprisoned for the purposes of fits and starts, and have ceased to be reliable as laborers, They spent this year as last year, too much of the summer working season in idleness or in dancing attendance at political meetings, and so with the return of the Christ- mas holidays they have had no Christinas | roast pig, turkey or chicken for the family*din- ner ia the cabin, or they have obtained it by | stéaling or “confiscation” of the property of | their white neighbors, We had anticipated this season some reports | of serious holiday disturbances and collisions , patrolinan was Gped twanty-tive dollara in | the City Court yexerday for clubbing @ citixen uuneces- | amily. | M Khart, who was convicted of having caused | 8, Mary 1.

An alteration might also be made in the material of cars, thereby avoid- | ing the dangers of fire and splinters, Another remedy against disaster is in the avoidance of | sharp curves and in the construction ot the wheels, which might be reudered proof against | breaking or jumping from the rail«, But | above all, any case of negligence ou the part | of railroad directors or employés by which the lives of passengers are endangered should be visited with swift and adequate punish- ment, These are some suggestions out of States, instead of the old time Christmas feastings | and diversions; but so far we have no accounts of | any unusual breaches oi the peace, A special | despatch from New Orleans yesterday says that | Christmas there was unprecedentedly quiet; that | insiend of the merrymakings heretofore at- | tending the day there were mourning, want and | desolation; that the day was like summer, the | thermometer rising to seventy-eight degrees; that the churches, decorated with exquisite | flowers, were thronged with worshippers; but | and bright hopes of the milleanium, but the sore | stresses of a most unhappy people and their | fears of a coming couflict of races, with its | reign of terror. | General Hancock had asked for authority | | from Washington to put the stacving negroes | ) Which | ot Louisiana at work upoo the leve were beginning again to give way r the pressure of the rising waters, In the interi es negro depredations (for food) con- ed to give alarm, allhough one very om}- nous assemblage of armed black had been bali-past ten in the morning. | euitly disbanded by the United States mili- | island, as tury forces, General Hancock's district, or | tua that news had arrived from Madrid that many that might be examined aud rendered practicable, and the question has now assumed a magnitude of importance that imperatively calla for interference ond instant action on the part of the proper authorities.

Mr. Jobnson’s boldness and sagacity in difflculty is Russia’s 4{>portunity. throwing the name of Hancock, like another applo of discord, among the rival candidates, or like a tub to catch tho Presidential whale, isa prime puzzle to all the politicians, who never gave him credit for the aptitude to weigh so well the points in the President- making game. Honcock’s name has mado & great fuss and takes wonderfully with the democrats and the demooratic organs in this neighborhood—all of which is ! because, ne doubt, it Iga pame foceptable to tho Head Conire of demociatis power in this State. Dean Richmond, in the good days of the Albany Regency, managing the Central Railroad, managed also the State democracy. But now there hag gome forth a greater than the Dean in the person of Commodore Vander- bilt, who drives a handsome four-in-hand where Richmond drove a single pony. Vanderbilt holds the ribbons of the Central, the Harlem and the Hudson River railroads between his forefingers and that of the Erie under his thumb. For tho latter there are some scraps of claims outside that amount to nothing. And wiih these roads the Commo- dore has.s fourfold claim to ruo the. demo- cratic. party—a claim that, like Selkirk’s domivion, “there is none to dispute.” He runs itagcordingly and is the power bobind the throne of democratic glory. His coadju- tors, adjutants, aids and subordinates are the Schells—the familiar Dick and dignified Augustus—and Belmont, and, ina promiscuous, general way, the whole Manhattan Club. Bel- mount, with the fortune as well as the tenacity, wit, balance and comprehensive view of the whole Rothschild family, carries the purse, and in vietue of the purse makes party opinion in the party press; for that press, not being independent, not’ having in any sense the support of the people, must study the’ thoughts of the party almoner and take its pap and its cue from the same source. Thus Vanderbili, with his railroads, runs the party machine and the conventions. Belmont keeps the right sort of ideas before the people, and the Schells shave the party notes and dis- count any man’s claims for a place in the fu- ture Cabinet ; and, altogether, it’s a very pretty game, and no doubt a source of much anxiety to those who would be on the winning side name takes that they cannot for their lives tell which is the winning side. Truly, democracy prospers under the new power when men can- not say that it may not triumph. The Earopenn Situation. In the Heraxp of yesterdey we printed a sig- nificant cable despatch to the effect that the Russian government had addressed a note to the government of France protesting against the shifting policy of the latter in regard to the affairs of the East. In the same issue we printed from the pen of our special correspond- ent at Constantinople a letter in which, from the standpoint of an aciual observer, the Eastern question is admirably discussed.. In his letter our correspondent very pro- perly remarks that the interest which naturally centres at the present moment in the Roman question has made us forgetful of the troubles which are now agitating the East. The Euro- peaa situation, in truth, can only be fully understood by taking Into account the Romen and the Eastern questions. On these two | questions hang, if not the law and the prophets, at least the immediate future of Europe. It is a curious circumstance, and somewhat characteristic of the times, that the two questions which are now disiract- ing the Old World and threatening it with revolution are thoroughly and essentially re- ligious, Popery and Mohammedanism have both become practically obsolete. Europe and the world are well nigh sick of both; but the good sense and kindly feelings of gene- rons and an enlightened generation. are-sadly puzzled to know what to do with either. The Sublime Porte and the Holy See are both felt te be ridiculous relics of a dead and buried past; but what to do with the relics or how to get them out of the way the statesmen of Europe are at their wits’ end to find out. The two questions have no necessary connection with each other ; but it is difficult at the present moment to sce Low the one is to be settled without seriously affecting the other, or how either is to be settled without convulsing and revolutionizing Europe. Recent facts are entirely confirmatory of these views. The French intervention in Rome has already begotten complications which it is now more than probable may lead to a Franco-Italian war. Our latest cable telegrams bring a significant illustration of the actnal drift of events in the statement by the Paris semi-official journal, La Patrie, yesterday morning, that the French govern- mont has issued orders for the departure of twenty thousand more troops for Civita Vecechix. In a war with Italy France fnight reap some successes; she might also have the sympathy and encourage- ment of Austria and Spain; but she would most certainly alienate herself from the rest of Europe. This, however, is not the worst. The interference of France in the affairs of Italy robs her of the right of object ing to the interference of Russia in the affairs of Turkey. Whatever right France has, or thinks she has, to interfere in the interests of the Papacy, Russia can plead the same right to interfere in the interests of the Greek Christians. It is manifest from the telegrams to which we have already alluded that Russia understands the situation and means to turn it to her owa advantage. The Cretan difficulty is as far from being settled as ever. Greece, with the con- sent and approval of Russia, is giving the in- eurgents every encourngement in her power. In the event of war breaking out betwoon ¥fance and Italy the demand for annexation to Greece on the part of the Cretens will become onder and more imperi- ous, and it Is not too much to say that if, in such circumstances, Russia puts forth her strength to have the desire of the Cretans gratified, neither England nor any other ot tho great Powers will unsheathe the sword to | prevent it, The difficulty will ho for Russta to | limit her ambition to this point, If she oxceeds | this and stirs up the Christian subjects of the | | | | bends. He anno, be ignorant that Franco's Kugland’s *Ina.'*" Wer.” The London Times fears th.*t the Abyssinian war will be protracted until “@%+ year. It blames Sir Willlam Napier, the cocmander of the British forces, for the delays encowatered by the expedition, and says that notiniug of Consequence can be done during the present season. It is obvious that the English begin to realize that King Theodorus ts preparing for them something like our own prolonged Indian war—the Seminole war—which lasted for seven or elght years and cost thirty million dollars, King Micanopee, Osceola, Jumper, and Abra- ham, the prophet and + medicine man, were not favored with half the natural advan- tages for defence possessed by King Theodorus, and it will not be surprising if the latter suc- ceeds in proportionately protracting bis re- sistance to British invaders. His determined spirit he has already exhibited by burning, as the Russians burned Moscow in the famous and fatal Russian campaign of Napoleon, the city of Debra Tabor, whieh is seeond only to Gondar aa an imperial residence. Most of the British captives were confued at Debra Tabor at the date of our latest mail advices, This is probably but the first of an interminable series of difficulties opposed to the march of the British in Abyssinia, The English, it would seem, have fairly entered ppoo an “Indian war,” with all its provoking. delays and uncer- tainties, Gravt—Waers He Sranps.—The party newspapers are continually asking General Grant-where he stands; to which the General might very aptly reply to the radicsls or demo- crats, Gentlemen, where do you staod? The Three Sune in Virginia: The Lynchburg papers describe the panic oceasione the other morsing by the apparent- ly simultaneous rising of three suns above: the horizon in Lee county. The central orb’ was encircled’ by a beautiful rainbow and sur- mounted by another extending on either hand above the attendant suns. This phenomenon, although comparatively rare, has been wit- nessed on the Mediterranean: Sea and on our | own great inland seas. The two surplus sans were simply reflections on the clouds of the bona fide sun, and speedily vanished, But the spectacle, so long as it lasted, was not only sublime, but terrible to the inhabitants of Lee county. Coupling it with all the recent extraor- dinary convulsions of nature, typhoons, hurri- canes, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, they were convinced’ it portended that ‘the world was on the crumbling verge of extinction, and that the hog business, in which they are largely interested, was about to experience’a thorough and final prostration.” Nevertheless, the earth atill continues to: revolve on its axis,and we trust that neither the physical disturbances which have recently taken place nor the ep- parition of a triple sun, nor yet the eclipse of common sense in Copgress, will lead the Vir- ginians to despair of the ultimate reconstruo- tion of the Union and a happy issue ont of all the difficulties which at present environ them, Brivis Missionaries ro THe.
