Staventer or Raitroap PassexcErs.—By the falling of a rotten bridge over Harpeth River, Tenn., on Monday night, a train on the Nashville and Northwestern Railroad was wrecked, killing fifteen passengers and wound- jing twenty-three others. An unsafe bridge on 8 railroad line is a crime against the community which deserves the se- werest punishment. An accident of this char- acter is altogether inexcusable, and is the re- pult either of negligence or incapacity on the Fa engineers and superintendents, or of eanness and mistaken economy by the com- y, which runs the risk of slaughtering its passengers by wholesale rather than incar the expense of keeping its road la proper‘repair.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1871. ° The French’ Repablic—ignificast Results ef the Late Electieas. The supplementary elections to fill the vacancies in the National Assembly of France, which have just taken place, are full of siguifi- cance, both as to the future of France and to Europe. According to the latest despatches one hundred and twenty out of one hundred and forty deputies chosen are thorough repub- licans. The rest were classed as conserva- tives in the telegraphic despatches yesterday ; but to-day we are told they are legitimists and Bonapartists. Many of the republicans are moderate and conservative; the telegraph correspondents in this, as in many other cases, using wrong words. ‘The imperialists and monarchists are the disorganizers and Mar- plots of France, and the moderate republicans are the conservatives. The elections for the most part were in the centres of intelligence, wealth, commerce and productive industry, and cannot fall to have » greater weight over the Assembly and in shap- ing the destiay of France than the mere votes of the new members may carry. Paris, Mar- seilles, the departments of the Gironde, Pas de Calais and other most influential sections of the country have spoken emphatically in favor of the republic. Only two monarchists were chosen from Paris, In the department of Gironde sixty-five thousand votes were cast for the republicans, and the imperialists had only eighteen thousand and the royalists nine- teen thousand. Gamboita, it appears, has been elected for both Paris and Marseilles, while Rouher, the imperialist and ex-Minister of Napoleon, was defeated in the department of Charente Inférieuse. The election appears to have been a fair one. The government did not interfere to influence the votes or to pre- vent the spontaneous expression of the will of the people. The soldiers even, it is said, did not vote, The result is the more remarkable and emphatic in favor of the republic and against imperialism or royalism, because the late frightful excesses of the ultra republicans in Paris were calculated to alarm conservative people and to drive them into the arms of the imperialists or monarchiste. It is evident now that the mass of the voters are not afraid of Jacobinism gaining ascendancy under re- publican government; that they believe a re- public is both practicable and the best gov- ernment for France, and that they are heartily sick of the fanfaronade, corruptions, mere glitter and humbug of imperialism and royalty. We do not know yet what will be the politi- cal complexion of the National Assembly when it meets with all the seats filled—how many imperialists, old Bourbonists, Orleanists and republicans per se there may be. Nor can we foresee what combinations will be formed. But, if we mistake not, the royalist and imperialist factions will not venture ia the face of these recent elections and the strength of the Thiers government to squelch the republic should they have even votes enough if combined for such a purpose. It is highly improbable that the imperialists and royalists could combine under any circum- stances, and a combination of the royalists of all shades would not be powerful enough in the Assembly to change the government. The very rivalry of the imperialist and the royalist factions must tend to consolidate the republic. It is a question if even President Thiers could turn France over to the royalists if he were so disposed. But he has said over and over again that he intends to be true to the repub- lic, and there is no reason to doubt his hon- esty. He is an old man, and if he can be instrumental in the last years of his life in giving France a stable republican gov- ernment he will acquire more fame and a greater name in history than by restoring the bauble monarchy which has failed so often and which could not last long. Perhaps the imperialists or royalists may plot to foment civil strife; for that these falsely called conservatives are likely to do, to bring odium upon the republic and thus to regain power upon the disorders of the country; but we think the suppression of the impracticable Communists, the recent elections, and the strength of the Thiers government will effectually check the schemes of these Mar- plots and real enemies of France, Let us, then, contemplate France under a republic. We have seen the confidence which both the French people and foreign capitalists have in the nation to overcome its enormous losses and difficulties. The loan of four hundred millions of dollars—a five per cent loan which was placed at eighty-two—obtained subscriptions instantly for over double the amount. And though this loan was put on the market a few days ago it is now munch above the price at which it was issued. Well might President Thiers say, in his financial statement to the Assembly, that, “‘notwith- standing the heavy load upon the country, he believed France bad in herself such resources that a few years of economy and good financial management would see _ her perfectly prosperous and infinitely better off in reality than she had ever been under the late dynasty.” It is doubtfal if any other nation in Europe would have shown euch credit and resources after the losses, disasters and expenditures France has borne. Then that splendid military array in Paris the other day shows that France is not crashed as one of the great Powers of Europe. There is no country of Europe more productive or that has such a variety of productions, and many of these, such as the wines and splendid manufactures, cannot be had elsewhere, and these the rest of the world must have. The people are very industrious and economical, and with a few years of peace are sure to be- come prosperous and rich. The republic will tend to develop all these individual qualities and natural resources in the highest degree. It will emancipate the minds of the people from priestly dogmatism as well as from those communist theories which result from oppres- sive dynastic rule. Under it every French- man will feel he is a man and experience the value of citizenship, and perceive that all the chances of life and advancement are open to him. In short, it will enlighten and regenerate France, and make ber, in moral and political influence, the first country in Europe. The effect upon the rest of the Old World of an established republic in France would soon be seen. It is the nucleus of revolutionary action, This has been witnessed on several occasions. France still holds the same in- Guential position, The republic means pro- gress and the rapid development of republican Lideas throughout Euroge. Some haye foolishly “ supposed the republic under the presidency of Thiers would pursue a reactionary policy toward Italy and restore the temporal power of the Pope. There is little probability of that, The French President would destroy his own power were he to attempt it. The Papal question is settled. None of the gov- ernments of Europe will interfere. It is much more likely that Italy will follow the example of France, and that Rome will become the capital of an Italian republic. How long would Spain, tod, be satisfied with the bauble ofa crown should a republic be firmly estab- lished in France? And Germany would be likely to throw off its imperial and military yoke if republican government should prove successfal in France, for a large portion of the Germans are imbued with republican senti- ments. So with England and other parts of Europe ; the monarchical governments would either be overturned or have to make large concessions to democratic aspirations and pro- gress, An established republic In France would be the bescon of hope both for the French people and for the masses of the other nations of Earope. We Americana, therefore, who know the value of republican institutions, hail the prospect of a permanent republic in France. Frem 1776 t© I871—Niscty-ave Years of the “divest Hepabtic.” Yesterday was the ninety-fifth anniversary of the United States of America, and bow amazing the record of these ninety-five years of national growth, power and prosperity! From three millions our count:y has advanced to forty millions of people; from a line of feeble settlements along the Atlautic coast it has expanded across the Continent to the Pa- cific Ocean, In 1776 our southern boundary was the soathern boundary of Georgia; now itis the northern boundary of Mexico, after the annexation of an empire from Mexico. Ninety-five years ago our northern boundary was the Canadian frontier; now our territories extend to the northwestern gateway to the North Pole and to a point within forty miles of Asia; and our “manifest destiny” is the whole “boundless continent” and the islands thereof to the Pole, on the one hand, and at least to the Isthmus of Darien on the otber,’ provided, always, that North, South, East and West, we hold harmoniously together, Onr political progress toward the complete fulfilment of the priaciples of the Declaration of Independence has been as remarkable as our material expansion and prosperity. The constitution of ‘‘our fathers” was not a perfect work of liberty. It was a budget of compro- mises with slavery which could not last. It was a work of necessity for the sake of union; but the Union thus formed was a rope of sand. For these original compromises and all the succeeding compromises with the nuisance of African slavery, North and South, we have paid the penalty in the most gigantic and ran- guinary civil war in the history of any people. We have emerged from this terrible struggle with the nuisance of slavery abated and with @ constitution of universal liberty and civil and political equalily ; and it must at least be recorded to the credit of the American people that they were ashamed to put the word slavery into their national charter of liberty until they could use this obnoxious word slavery to announce that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except in the punish- ment of crime, can be permitted in the United States, Thus we have passed through a great revo- lution in passing through the fiery ordeal of four years of terrible war for the life of the nation against a formidable rebellion for the maintenance and extension of Southern slavery outside the Union, and we have entered upon a “new departure.” What is the prospect? It is glorious and encouraging; but it is cloudy. Political corruption and demoraliza- tion have increased with the public spoils and plunder. Our political parties were never so corrupt and our political leaders and manag- ing politicians were never so unscrupulous and rapacious as they are to-day. The power and audacity of gigantic monopolies and cor- porations were never so dangerous to the public liberties as they are now and the spirit of the working classes is full of peril to the established inequalities of things. From these and other causes we apprehend that our Presidential campaiga of 1872 will be a campaign of alarming excitements and de- velopments andthe beginning of new agita- tions, which must inevitably bring about a new revolution more radical and sweeping in its consequences than anything dreamed of* by our spoils and plunder politicians. Let us watch and wait. Sufficient for the day is not only the evil thereof, but the glory of the “Great Republic.” ‘The New Delights of Travel. The announcement of a ‘‘terrible railroad disaster” is followed at once by the statement, as an apparently natural sequence, that twenty physicians have been sent to the scene of disaster, although it is not previously stated or known tbat any one is hurt. This presents railroad travelling in a very cheorful light, similar in its effeets to the comforting ‘‘acci- dent insurance” signs that greet travellers at every depot, or the ‘“‘life policy advantages” with which the chatty insurance agents assail you fromthe moment of starting. There is a railroad out West which advertises that each train carries a coroner and six jurymen ‘for the convenience of passengers,” and there can be no question as to the soothing effect such an official statement has upon the nerves of the passengers. The general understanding that in case of accident twenty physicians will be at once despatched from the nearest city would, however, operate much more effectively and pleasantly upon the minds and nerves of the travellers. It is comparatively so much more satisfactory to know that in the last ex- tremity ‘‘twenty physicians” will willingly and cheerfully physic you, sound you, bleed you, saw your leg off, or testify to the company’s care for you in all these ways if necessary—it is much more satisfactory to know this than to contemplate at the fatal moment of the trip nothing more auspicious or hopeful than a coroner's inquest. A car full of passengers would sleep as calmly as infants, or discuss politics and the latest sensation with the self-complacency that only attends the true Christian, if each knew cer- tainly that he could run up a big doctor's bill at the expense of the company in case of acci- dent, oF that every puncture of the Jancet into, his crashed limb, and every dose of sedative anodyne poured down his throat adds a cer- tain number of dollars to the railroad com- pany’s expenses. All these little alleviations of the horrors of travel are grateful to peri- patetic human nature, although the bluntness with which they are announced somewhat startles the unfamiliar mind. An improve- ment upon the “‘twenty physician” feature would probably be to carry a dozen physicians, and if necessary a small drug store on each train; but it would most likely serve all pur- poses much more satisfactorily by preventing disasters and avoiding the expense of the physicians if General Sherman's war plan were carried out of tying a director of the road to each locomotive, and where the train is a very valuable one, or is laden with more people or greater people than usual, by placing the president or vice president of the road upon the cowcatcher. Venezucla, Uraguay and the Isthmian Re- publice—Hlow Destinies Are Controlled. A delightful picture has been presented in Seuth and Central America by the five repub- lics of Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia, San Salvador and Honduras in the past three months. War actual, or rumors of war, and menaces of sundry belligerent ‘‘sorehead” chiefs overhang these petty governments as constantly as the bluc ether of the skies which canopy them, and with what reason is seldom if ever known to any of the combatants. The usual caeus belli of “ins” and ‘‘oute” among all politicians of course prevails there, and the Latins of the New World seem fully as alive to its meaning and as ready to make war on that basis as ever were their Celtic proto- types of Tammany and the Young Democracy of New York. But the mischief of the matier lies in the methods resorted to by these hot-headed Southerners to effect their little games. No one ever doubted the Irishman's readiness to fight, or his willingness to continue it when once fairly into the frolic ; but it seems that the free and genial air of America is working a atrange and positive modification in his dispo- sition, by developing his good nature and strategy. In Ireland as a habit ho cracks a crown, and Is continually inveighing against one ia the prosecution of his ideas of life and freedom ; in New York he keeps his good clothes unruffied, and elther “‘puts up a job” on his opponent or stuffs bundles of ballots to defeat him. But the languid Latin must go for his man with a shooting iron and amid the pomp and circumstance of what frequently proves inglorious war. Recent aiivices from Montevideo state that there are apprehensions of another siege by the Blancos. Three months ago Suarez, the Colorado or government general, had driven Aparicio close to the froutiers of Brazil and had almost “‘bottled” him, Shortly afterward there was talk of a compromise and a general election, in which Colorados and Blancos alike were to participate, both as candidates and electors, Now all is dust and din again, and Aparicio the Blanco, like a veritable white apparition, flourishes his bloody sword over the heads of his Gaucho warriors at Las Piedras, only fifteen miles from Montevideo, Such is the life of the men who make’ destiny. It may also be consoling to some of the muni- cipal fathers of the Empire City to know that this born ruler, Aparicio, has a secretary, who writes the General's name to all official documents, and that Aparicio, who bas never held a professorship as a peaman anywhere, simply makes a little cross near the signature. Coming next, however, to Venezuela we note a decided modernism introduced into the system of military tactics—something which Jomioi never dreamed of, and which clearly demonstrates Guzman Blanco to be a man of progress. Nobody, of course, assumes to know which is the government party in Vene- zuela, but events have demonstrated since January last that Gozman is the strongest leader in the country. Ia nine cases out of ten the man who can demonsirate his owa ability to raise a bigger crowd than another down there is the government—at least he is the “‘boss” for the time being. A few weeks since, however, Mariciano Salazar, a man of influence in the community, took it into his head that it would be a good stroke to take a revolutionary “‘shy” atGuzmao. Things were working up to a pretty pitch, and bets were about even as to whether Bianco or Salazar was the stronger. All at once Blanco be- thought himself that he had a delicate little mission to perform for Venezuela in Europe, and with singular foresight he deemed General Salazar the fittest man in the republic to ac- complish the affair. With rare forbearance against his rival he at once communicated to him a desire to see him, and the result was that Salazar is now on bis way to Europe as a Venezuelan diplomat instead of marching toward Caraccas for Blanco’s scalp. Bianco loaned forty thousand dollars to Salazar to pay incidental expenses anf provided a Vene- zuelan gunboat, the Veinte-siete de Abril, to convey bis plenipotentiary to St. Thomas. Blanco clearly has ‘brains aod knows how to “bust” an enemy's patriotism all to pieces. But the strangest ‘‘shindy” of all is that in Central America, where Honduras, San Sal- vador and Colombia got their politics so mixed that it was necessary to grind up the old swords to cut the tangled mass. Then Nica- ragua and Costa Rica and Guatemala begin growling, and the jomble is wound up by revolutionista, who take advantage of the dis- tracted state of governments, and, asin the case of San Salvador, we find that Salvadorian rebels are not only running the revolution, but are also the prime movers of the declara- tion of war by Honduras. The United States of Colombia are fretted by two or three rapidly recurring revolts in the several States, and when at last ao armed force threatens Panama, the principal city of the whole isthmus, the forelga Consuls are sent out to parley for terms. Asa last resort President Correoso ‘politely asks the insurgent general not to come near the town, and expresses the utmost willingness to fight him at any place he may designate five miles distant. The general vein of humor, politeness, dis- interestedness, military etiquette, unflinching devotion to country, brilliancy of strategy and intricacy of statecraft that pervades all these “usses” is enough to bewilder the members of any common European conference or joint high commission, and leads us to the belief that Gozman Blanco is the only true man of progress ip all the/countries we have alluded to. He evidently is in the march of enlightenment, It is also a pleasant reflection that all the countries here alluded to teem with natural riches, and that thus there is no Prospect that the dance will be stopped for want of funds to pay the respective fiddlers. Such people ought to enjoy the richest part of creation, so that the natural bent of their in- clinations may not be interrupted by base pur- suits like farming, manufacturing, mining and the general “humdrum” of what we call civilization. The Celebrations Yesterday—tovernor Heff- man’s Letter. ._ The celebration of the Fourth of July passed off in this city, and, indeed, throughout the entire country, with great éclat, as our col- umns bear witness this morning. The me- tropolis had its accustomed parade of the First Division of the National Guard, the usual patriotic chimes from the bells of Trin- ity and a grander display of fireworks than has been seen by our people for many years. The boys kept up the explosion of fire- crackers and torpedoes in the most energetic manner, and were ably supplemented by the spread-eagle speeches of the orators of the day. Everywhere there was unbounded en- thusiasm, and with much that was common- place there were in the celebrations of yester- day some remarkable and salient fea- tures. The singing of the ‘Star Spangled Banner” by the Boulevard Club at sunrise was one of the prettiest incidents of the day; but there were other incidents connected with this anniversary more precious than mere senti- ment and more important than any outward expression of patriotic emotion. One of these was the terrible pother made over the decision of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts ad- verse to ‘‘women ‘squires,” by the Lucy Stone and Wendell Phillips crowd of impractica- bles, at Harmony Grove, Framingham; another was the remarkable letter of Governor Hoffman, read at the Tammany celebration, In many respects no more striking political document has been published in many years than this frank and candid epistle of Governor Hoffman, and it will stand out from the events of yester- day as a singularly earnest and well-timed declaration of the true principles of free gov- ernment, Governor Hoffman is strongly averse to the centralization of power in the national gov- ernment, and, in denouncing the movements now making in that direction, he uttered a sentence which deserves to become immortal. “The great political question now before us,” he said, ‘‘is whether we are to be the subjects of what is commonly called a strong govern- ment or shall continue to be, as heretofore, a strong people.” This is the keynote of all he had to say in excusing himself from taking part in Tammany’s Fourth of July, but it was asentiment so well put and so ably argued throughout that it cannot fail to become a political aphorism. We are a people so strong in ourselves and so well able to maintain our institutions without bestowing imperial powers upon the Executive that this utterance | will meet with universal acclaim, and from every part of the country there will come the re- sponse, ‘‘We shall continue, as heretofore, a strong people.” Amid the corruptions and dangers which surround us bold, brave, true words like these will be magical in their effects and help to lift the nation out of the assail of troubles which sometimes threatens to overwhelm it. We surrender a large part of the HeraLp to-day to the chronicles of yesterday’s cele- bration, Not from the metropolis alone, but from every part of the country we have intel- ligence of the manner in which the day was observed. Everywhere the people seemed overflowing with patriotic sentiments, and the Fourth of July, 1776, received a ratification that amounts to a new Declaration of Inde- pendence. Mere agitators, it is true, seized mpon the occasion for their idle talk; but the meaning of this unusual outburst of enthusiasm everywhere is the avowal by the American people of that sentiment for which Governor Hoffman found the words, “We shall continue to be, as heretofore, a strong people.” The people of the United States have a strong faith in their government, but a stronger faith in themselves, and by this shall liberty be perpetuated. The Crops ia Louisiana. The report which appeared inthe Hxeratp of yesterday regarding the crops in Louisiana was most encouraging. It is estimated that the sugar crop of 1871 will be 104,881 hogs- heads, against 87,090 in 1869-70—an increase of over sixty-sit per cent. Since the war Louisiana has been rapidly recovering. In 1869 the number of sugar houses was 817, of which 664 were worked by steam and 158 by horse power. In 1870 the number of sugar houses in operation was 1,105, of which 837 ased steam and 268 horse power. The first crop after the war was only 6,668 hogsheads. Negro laborers have been taken in great num- bers from Virginie, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and the prospect for 1871-2 is bright. The rice crop has not been so good, owing, it is said, tothe drought. Lou- isiana is again getting back to prosperity. So too most all the Southern States. Large crops, after all, of cotton and rice and sugar will prove the best kind of reconstruction. The day is not distant when the South will bloom asthe rose. Under the new conditions the people will be richer and happier than ever. Beer axp THE Pork—Two MINIaTERS IN Rome. —Belgium is the least of the kingdoms of Europe. Belgium, however, {s plucky, al- though small. In the Belgium Senate on Monday last Baron d'Avethan defined the position of the government in regard to the Italian occupation of Rome. It neither ap- proved nor disapproved. Two Belgwm lega- tions will, in consequence, be maintained in Rome--one at the Court of the King and the other at the Holy See. If the example of Belgium is imitated by some of the other Powers Rome wil! be a high old place. Two sets of Ministers from the various governments in the same city would be something without parallel; but it would pay, and Rome weald most certainly soon arise from its ashes.
