fore the cml ‘the crew iain pote suit, The ship should be fined heavily, and a suffi- cient sum collected to pay a large amount to each sufferer, As for the captain and mate, imprisonment is too good for them. Cases of this nature frequent!y are presented before the courts by the crew of a vessel, but in the poverty of the sailors they are unable to Prosecute them toaconclusion. The courts defer the case, the men are obliged to ship for some foreign voyage, and justice is thus cheated. We hope this will not be the result in this instance, Railroad Disastere—Is There No Way to Prevent Themt The frightful disaster on the Long Island Railroad leads again to the often repeated question, how are such things to be prevented ? These terrible accidents, as they are called, anda few of them may be purely so, are of such frequent occurrence in this country that people cease to think of them seriously longer than a day or two. So we go on, one catas- trophe following another, and the last one ob- literating the remembrance of former. ones, The authorities and people come to regard them as ordinary and inevitable occurrences, and after the momentary excitement is over give no heed to the cause or prevention of such disasters. Yet human life ought to be regarded as more precious, and some general system of inspection of railroads and laws for regulating them ought to be established. It has been well said that corporations have no souls, They only look to their own inter- ests, or supposed interests, and squeeze all the money they can out of the public without giv- ing proper protection or accommodation. At one time the cause of accidents is a broken rail, at another defective rolling stock, and then again the stupidity or neglect of railway employés. But in nine cases out of ten the fault lies directly or indirectly with the com- pany. Seldom, too, are companies punished ; for by the adroit management of lawyers and the ignorance or obtuseness of juries they es- cape the meshes of the law. Still something can be done, and, as we said, ought to be done, to prevent such slaughter of our fellow beings. We need stringent inspection laws to see that the rails, bridges, embankments, cars, engines and everything pertaining to railroads be kept in the most perfect order, and that the inspectors and companies be held responsible and under the severest penalties for neglecting their duties. We call upon the Legislature to give this necessary protection to the public. The Condition of Mexico—Is She Worth bona alae “Saving e We have recently devoted a great deal of space, and do so again to-day, to our volumi- nous but graphic correspondence from the west coast of Mexico. The picture which it presents of the condition of the neighboring republic is the most fearful that can be given by the pen. Government is dissolved and society is a prey to the strong-handed and law- less, The pursuits of industry are so fre- quently interrupted that famine is toreboded, and political discontent with the weak and miserable government of Juarez presages an early abandonment of the nominal respect which for some time has been paid to it. Placido Vega has proclaimed independence in Sinaloa, and the federal officers have been ordered out of the State; but itis questionable whether the country is even sufficiently pros- perous to make a revolution. It would seem rather that elements of private disorder are stronger than any constructive power which public leaders can evoke. President Juarez has asked of the reassembled Congress a grant of extraordinary powers, and from an informal vote during the discussion, it seems probable that these will be given. Thus a new attempt is tobe made to save society by the setting aside of individual rights. Whether success will attend the effort is very doubtful. In this state of things we are told that the General in command of the District of the Pacific has orders to hold his force well in hand on that coast, and a United States sloop-of-war has been directed to survey the ports of the Gulf of California. From Mexico come fre- quent denials of any scheme being under private consideration by the United States Minister and President Juarez; but the very frequency and vehemence of these carry a conviction the reverse of the import of their words, On the frontier of the Rio Grande exists a state of things which, if Texas were reconstructed with a civil government, would result in serious re- clamations upon the federal government for action. Whether all of these signs indicate a new effort to supply the exhausted Mexican Treasury with American gold in exchange for territory, or a new inroad of Pacific filibus- ters, or a general call from Mexico for the formal establishment of a protectorate is of little import. These are only variations of the coming event, There is very little doubt that our govern- ment will be called at an early day to exercise its authority over the territory in question, and the real problem to be solved is this: Is the present population and society of Mexico worth saving? One influence is at work which doubtless will be strengthened by the events of the last winter. We allude to the process of depopulation which is going on in all Northern Mexico by the savage tribes of Indians, who find it easier to plunder the Mexican towns and villages than to fight United States troops and emigrants. Sheri- dan’s recent campaign will not tend to retard their migration to Mexico, and our advices from the capital of that republic indicate that President Juarez thinks it better to sell the territory he cannot hold than to spend money in vain efforts to reconquer it, The views of our Mazatlan correspondent are worthy of consideration, and perhaps they may throw some light on the value of Mexican society as it exists to- day.

Farther Developmenta or Corruption in Boston: Police Force—The Herald’s Charges Sustained—Detective OMeers Shielding Mur- derere—Intense Excitement Against the Police Department. Boston, April 24, 1869, The developments of corruption in the Boston Detective Police Department are still multiplying and the public excitement and indignation are in- creasing. The statement published some days since exclusively in the New York HERALD that there was, possibly, existing evidence pointing to the murderers of the Joyce children and that when brought to the notice of Boston officers they paid no attention to it, was the cause of bringing about a secret investigation on the part of the Legislative committee at which all the statements made in the HBRALD Were fully sustained. Subsequent vo this secret there has been another in public, dur- ing which Mr. Sennott. one of the counsel conducting the investigation, called the atten- tion of the committee to what he termed a most alarming statement of the New Youk HERALD about the murder in question, adding that he would like to nave all that came out at the private sitting of the commitéee made re This, however, the com- mittee refuses to do, but tt does not deny that the HBRALD’s account is true; and it ts therefore gene- rally and reasonably believed that certain of the Bus- = Police are now and have been for a long time possession of evidence which would warrant the arrest of parties bien anh guilty of one of the most diabolical murders ever committed in this country, The only popular explanation why the officers have failed to do their duty is that their movements were retarded by greenbacks in this as in other cases before exposed. The public feeling here now is so strong that it would seem that the HeRALD’s antictpations of the discovery and punishment of the murderer will be lized within a day or two, The police have been much agitated under the Foe pular excite- ment, and one of the leading detectives has attri- buted the whole exposure to the New Youk HERALD. One of the counsel concerned in conducting the investigation, ween interrogated as to why the tes- tim taken in secret was not maae public, an- swered that if t had been the indignation of the pe ee would have been so jt that the City Hall all the occupants of the Police Department ; would fave been mobbed.

In the after- noon of the same day a son of Colonel Tenney was found hanging in a similar manner. No cause can be masienes for these coincident acts of self-de- struction. The most intense excitement prevails. ‘The reports from the southern part of illinois are to the effect that the wheat crop is more promising than was ever before known, YACHTING. The Atlantic Yacht Club of Brooklyn—Prepa- rations for their Annual Regatta—Table of Measurements for Allowances of Time—A Spring Cruise up the Sound Decided upon. ‘The Atlantic Yacht Club of Brooklyn, at an ad- journed meeting held on Thursday last at their ele- gant and new club rooms, No. 149 Montague street, decided upon all the preliminary arrangements for | their usual summer regatta, to be held on the 8th of June next. This event is always one of great im- portance to tie gentlemen of our sister city, and itis looked forward to with interest by all lovers of aquatic Sports in this section. Ths is very natural, as many of the boats of the association have nobly won & reputation by vheir honest merits, and truly bat few clubs extant have evinced, within the two or three years past, more enterprise in building vesels or enthusiasm in holding regattas in our charmmg wa- ters than this. In the regatta to take place the coming sesson the boats will be divided as follows: — Schooners into two classes, those under aad those over fifty feet in length. Sloops into four classes, First, those over forty- eight feet; second, those of thirty-eight feet and under forty-eight feet: third, those under thirty-eight fea; fourth, such as are without cabins, or open boats. The allowance of time will be of two kinds, Firsi, for differences of length, agreeably to a scale here with annexed, and secondly, for the area canvas in excess of 100 feet for each squar foot of a yacht’s largest immersed section (and 1 that proportion for fractions of a foot) at the rate of 5-109 of a second for each mile of a course to te sailed over. These allowances, deemed to be just and equita- ble, will be added or aeducted from’ the boats con- tending in the race, as shall be fair in each case. The club advise that the theory of this canvas measurement is that the resistance to be overcome by @ boat in sailing 1s the amount of square feet in her hull to be forced through the water, and that experience has shown them that one hundred square leet of canvas to each square foot of the hull to be propelled through the water, or i that ratio, is the proper allowance. Ofcourse, 1f a boat has more than her proportion of canvas she would give time to her antagonists, and vice versa. They aiso hold that by this method the differences in sails are thus provided for as well as the matter of a beat’s len; a The measurer of the club, Henry A. Gouge, already prepared a plan for the accurste measure. ment of the immersed muidship section of a yacht, and he will measure each yacht eniered for the coming regatta. The club has given notice that all estries for this friendly race must be made forty-eight hours before nine o'clock A. M. of the appointed day, and, beside the usual particulars of their boats, owners must state in their communications when applying for entrance the lengths of their yachts on the water line, the number of saila proposed vo be carried at that time, witn their full or outside measurements, None but fore and aft sails will be allowed in this contest. Tne table prepared by the club for allowances of time, based on the dapeana of their yachts pe the pepe ine, for each mile of a course sailed, is ag follows:— FIRST CLASS. Lengths. — Seconds, Lengths. Feet. Seconds, ‘That this spirit will begin the yachting season with éclat it 13 only necessary to mention in proof that they have decided in May to make a@ short spring cruise through the piosuresqas Soand as far as New London. They will leave their Club House, in South Brooklyn, op che 24th of the month, and be absent a week.” All the yachts then in readiness, it 1s expected, will participate in this pleasant inaugu- ration of the season. PROSPECT PARK FAIR GROUNDS, Closing of the Entries for “the aeaupeie Pork Fair Grounds Association Purses. The entries for the Prospect Park Fair Grounds Association closed last evening at their rooms in Brooklyn. The purses were all well filed, with the exception of the one offered conditionally for Laay ‘Thorn and Mountain Boy. From our knowledge of the determination of Commodore Vanderbilt not to allow his horse to trot in company with more than one we knew that this purse was unlikely to be filled ani were, therefore, not disappointed. The saddie purse also failed to fill. An inspection of the entries, which we give below, will suffice to show their char- acter, comprising, a8 they do, some of the best horses in their special rates of speed in this country. The inaugural meeting of this association may there- fare be expected to be one of unusual interest. At present the grounds are in fine condition ana ready for training purposes. The club house, the stands, the siables and all the appointments of a well regulated club are now in course of completion, and at the time selected for the meeting everything wiil be in perfect keeping with the designs of the management to insure a high degree of comfort and satisfaction both to themselves and the public, ‘The following are the entries:— FIRST DAY, First Racg.—For horses that have never beaten ‘B46, purse $500; $350 to the first, $100 to the second, $60 to the third horse, D.

Heretofore the ‘‘independ- ents’? bave alway! eens eeorioes. The following are the new officers:—Chief Engineer, Nathaniel K. Be oa Assistants, Bernard Degner and Isaac Van Hart. The defeated candidate for the first po- sition is Mr. Benjamin, ex-chief. Great excitement attended the canvass among the firemen. OYER AND TERMINER.—In the recent Oyer and Terminer of Union county, held here, several in- teresting cases were disposed of. George Wade, the proprietor of the turning shop at Elizabethport which was the scene of the terrific boiler explo- sion several months ago, whereby two or three lives were lost, and who was charged by the Coroner’s jury with criminal negligence, has been dischal , the Grand Jury having failed to find any indictment against him. The celebrated Westfield bond robbery was also disposed of by the discharge of David Newning, Andrew Keith and Andrew Little, and the admission to $200 bail of the fourth party, Henry Little, who had been found guilty. Intl ¢ somewhat peculiarcase of Mr. Pound, who was tried and found guilty of an atrocious as- sault on a Mr. Brown, the accuséd was discharged on payment of $500 and costs. The points m the case are rather remarkable. Pound was engi- neer of a saeh and blind factory at Piaintield, while Brown was foreman of the same place, ‘Dui the absence of the proprietor the iatter always took charge. One day a job of work had to be done at acertain hour in order te meet the terms of a contract. The custom was to shut off steam at tweive o'clock, meridian. Knowing that i would require a few minutes longer to accomplish the work, Brown asked Pound to permit the machinery to work some five or ten mtnutes after twelve o'clock, Pound thought the other was usurping his authority, and refused. The result was high words, and finally Pound seized a knife and in- micted a wound in the region of Brown’s heart that it was thought for several days after would prove fatal. After tie tris! and when Pound was about being sent vo State Prison the injured man, now re- covered, appeared before the presiding magistrate and prayed that the convict would not be sent to prison.
