In fact, all chartered companies should be coatrolled in the same way. Capitalists would then know what they would have to rely upon, and the people would not be required to pay exorbitant charges on fictitious capital. ‘Congress Yesterday—Whipping Posts and Hyma Books Contrasted xs Moral Agencles—Delaware Demolishing Massne chusetts. The Educational bill was up in the House yesterday, and afforded the medium for the * most spicy and amusing discussion that bas taken place in that hall for many a day. Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, had made, some two ‘weeks ago, when the same bill was up ‘before, an able but somewhat bitter speech, in which he showed up the illiteracy of the Southern and democratic States in compari- gon with the reading and writing and other moral qualifications of the citizens of Massa- husetts. Mr. Hoar did full penance yester- day for that unfortunate speech of his. He was badgered and abused by half a dozen democratic members; urged on, encouraged and applauded by the whole pack of the eager and aroused democracy. Hoar was not an easy or a yielding victim, He turned and snarled and snapped at his tormentors, and managed pretty well to keep them at bay. It was anexciting if not an exhilarating scene, of which a detailed description will be found in our regular report. The chase was opened by the solemn and stately Kerr, of Indlana, who, ina serious and resolute manner, under- took to worry Mr. Hoar for his insulting attack on the democracy, and to demonstrate that his State—the democratic State of Indiana—had set an example of munificent devotion to the cause of education, Then, after some minor diversions, during which Mr. Townsend, of Pennsylvania, came to the relief of Hoar, and attracted part of the attack to himself by tak- ing the same ground that Hoar had previously taken, Biggs, the Representative of Little Dela- ware, whose whipping post and pillory moral agencies had come in for a large share of scorn and reprobation, came upon the scene and made a most magnificent display. He firat disposed of poor old Mr. Townsend by in- sinuating that his aversion to the Delaware whipping post might be accounted for by the propinquity of his residence to the orders of that State and by the consciousness that such conductas he and his friends indulged in was apt to make them per- sonally acquainted with the pillory and whip- ping post. The abashed Pennsylvanian fell under that blow of Biggs to rise no more. Then the victorious Biggs, flushed with his victory-and aware that the “eyes of Little Delaware were upon bim,” rushed upon Hoar and demolished him with an array of the crim- {nal statistics of Massachusetts, contrasting the virtue of hisown State under the moral Influences of the pillory and whipping post with the vices of Mr. Hoar’s State under the moral influences of hymn books, common schools and prohibitory liquor laws. The effect was irresistible. Mr. Hoar tried to outface it by throwing the blame on the foreign population ; but he was borne down by peals of laughter from all parts of the House, and Mr. Biggs has become famous. But the fun did not end there, From Ken- tucky, from Tennessee, from Georgia and from Old Virginia came champions contending for the honor and virtue of their several States, and venting their anger on the unfortunate member from Massachusetts. Where was Dawes, and where was Butler, that they did not interpose and shield theip colleague, borne down and badgered by assailants from all quarters? Perhaps they were grinning with malicious pleasure at the pickle his tart- neas had got him into. At all events, they did not interfere, buat allowed him to be treated in the most merciless manner by the enraged and fierce democracy. The Educational bill will be up again for discussion on Tuesday, when Mr. Hoar will have an opportunity of retaliating on his assailants of yesterday. It is expected that the vote will be taken on Tuesday before ad- journment. It will receive the negative vote of all the democrats, and will hardly receive the unanimous support of the republicans. Still, the appearances are that it will pass as a party measure. The House yesterday passed the Indian Appropriation bill and several bills of doubt- ful propriety for the extension of patents. The Senate was not in session yesterday, nor will it be to-day, as if obstinately deter- mined not to go on with the important work of the session, and to convince the House that it might as well concur in the resolution for an early adjournment. The House meets again to-day, but only for buncombe specches, The Board Audit and Apportionwment— The Faults of Hasty Legislation. There was much excitement in the City Hall Park and New Court House yesterday among the water police, and other claimants against the city and county, who assembled in large numbers, expecting some action of the new Board of Audit upon their cases, and an angry feeling prevailed in consequence of a current rumor that the Board would not pay any of the city’s indebtedness. Every reason- able person must know that the raising of eight million doltars is not the work of a few hours, and that a Board constituted like the new Board of Audit cannot meet and pay claims off-hand as a bank pays checks over its counter. We learn from very good authority, that the position taken by the Heratp im regard to the legal bearing of the amendment introduced by Speaker Smith in the Audit and Apportion- ment bill is endorsed by the Board, and that no factious opposition will be made by any member to the paymeut of all just and honest claims as soon as the machinery is in proper working order and the money ready. Still the law, passed in haste, is decidedly crude and defective, and there may be a necessity for amending it in some particulars, provided ft can be done without delay. The amend- ments most needed, however, relate rather to the provisions in regard to the appor- tionment of funds in the several city departments than to those relating to the auditing and payment of accounts. At all events, any revision of the law that may be asked at the hands of the Legislature will not, ‘we are assured, be suffered to interfere with Or delay the settlement of claims against the ity, which will be paid as speedily as practi- cable, The creditors of the city have waited thus long for their just dues, and have given proof of their forbearance, patience and respect for law and order. It is to be hoped that they will continue to exercise the same good sense that has guided them in the past, and remain satisfied with the assurance of the Comptroller that the end of their trouble is close at hand. General Sherman at the Escurial. The HERALD correspondent in Madrid sends us a most interesting letter, which we publish on another page of this morning's issue, descriptive of the visit of General Sherman and the distinguished party by whom he was accompanied to the Escurial, which all Spaniards regard as the eighth wonder of the world, The passage from the capital to the magnificent resting place of all Spanish monarchs, over a railroad remarkable for the slowness of travel, was devoid of interest. No sooner, however, was the great point of attraction reached than that peculiar feature of all Spanish countries displayed itself. Beggars of every degree of mendicancy, of both sexes and all ages, crowded round the American tourists and showered the largest amounts of blessings on their heads for the smallest amount of lucre. The unostenta- tious display of the Americans, and their democratic and modest. bearing, somewhat surprised the scrutinizing lookers-on, who are accustomed to regard grave and imposing show as a necessary characteristic of dis- tinguished people. After fighting their way through the army of beggars that besieged them the visitors made their tour through the grand old edifice of the Escurial, which was founded by Philip [I., over three hundred years ago. Pausing at the sarco- phagus of Charles V., lingering at the tomb of Philip, reflecting while standing by the vaults which contained within them the ashes of Span- ish kings and queens, roaming through the long passages and corridors of the grand old struc- ture, the visitors were solemnly impressed with all they saw and heard. The fine old chapel, with its many altars, cloisters and organs, must have impressed the party, and have awakened memories of the past which history relates and which novelists of bygone as well as present days love to dilate upon. The library and gardens and palaces were also visited. During the summer months the reign- ing monarch of Spain spends a portion of the time at the Escurial, and there, amid the sur- roundings which call to mind the greatness of Spain in days long since past, finds ample room for reflection, Will the grandeur which reflected the power, wealth and dominance of this fine old land under her Charleses, Philips, Ferdinands and Isabellas ever again be real- ized? Or has Spain fulfilled her mission in the world’s history, and is she now sinking into lowliness, with nothing to cheer her down- ward course but her memory of the past? The Cycle of Outrage and Crime. We seem now to be within the centre of a cycle of outrage unparalleled in the annals of crime in this country. The shooting of human beings is scarcely more thought of than the shooting of so many sparrows. Highway robberies, in which the bludgeon or slung- shot, instead of the sharp, incisive action of the poignard or the more blunt intrusion into one’s skul) or abdomen of the bullet, is becom- ing a favorite weapon of the ruffian and des- perado. Passing over our own extensive experience ‘in the premises, our neighborly city of Brooklyn is winning considerable renown in this respect. Poor Panormo’s case, with its sanguinary surroundings, is scarcely passed for the time from public view, when other outrages of a similar character occur, and the community is left in amaze- ment at the lack ,of energy and effi- ciency in the department of police. The horse railroad cars are becoming, as it were, the rendezvous of wretches who, escaping State Prison by the leniency of the law, or the want of a stringent enforce- ment of it by judges and juries, are preying almost at will upon defenceless people. A day or two ago a lady passenger in a Flatbush car was so terrified by the exhibition of a revolver in the hands of a villanous-looking male pas- senger, as shé'; sid lier fare dad’ Adcidentally exhibited a rol of greenbacks, that she sprang from the car, was seriously injured, and passers-by could not by their cries induce the ear driver to stop the vehicle and ascertain whether the lady was rightfully or wrongfully affrighted. Mayor Powell should look into matters like these as well as those perhaps more itnportant regarding the security of per- son and property in the city over which he is the chief magistrate. This cycle of crime that now surrounds us must be broken, Sxutep Lapor FRoM Great BRITAIN FOR Cu1caco.—The emigrant tide from Great Britain to the United States is already in- creasing in volume, premonitory of a full flow in the early days of spring, The number of persons embarked at Liverpool in January exceeded that for December by one thousand one hundred and fifty. The burning of Chicago has stimulated the exodus of skilled labor, particularly of masons and carpenters, “Out of evil comes good.” The masons and carpenters will find plenty to do, as will their brethren of the cognate handicrafts, so soon as they follow them to the soil of the republic. Tae Rerormers in the city, like the re- formers at Albany, are all at sixes and sevens, So comes in the old proverb that when the reformers fall out the rogues will get their own again. Such is the lookout for city reform, “THE GRAND DUKE, A Visit to the Mammoth Cave. Lovisvi.é, Ky., Feb. 2, 1872, A special despatch from Cave City to tie Courier Journal states that the Grand Duke Alexis and suite, accompanied by a number of ladies and gen- tlemen, arrived there at one o'clock yesterday after- noon, and left immediately for the Mammoth Cave, where they spent four hours enjeying the onder- ground scenes and wonders, ‘The party left for Mempbis soon after midnight.

TELEGRAMS TO THE KEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Feb, 2, 1872, The discussion of the Alabama ciuims continues and grows more vehement as the opening of Parlia- ment approaches, The English case laia before the Geneva Board of Arbitration has not been pub- lished, and no opportunity has been given of form- ing an estimate of the British demands, But the case of the United States has now been before the public two or three weeks, and all the newspapers and other organs of public opinion teem with hostile comment and false report in regard to it, The London Advertiser asserts that Chief Justice Cockburn, one of the arbitravors, will withdraw from the Board, and that the government will re- pudiate the Treaty of Washington, A correspondent of the same journal advocates this course, He suggests as a precedent what he assumes to be the repudiation of the Treaty of Ghent by the United States, and advises England to follow the example of America. The London News has reason to belleve that the claims of the United States for indirect damages have been declared out ol question, and maintains that this opinion is backed by the undivided senti- ment of the country.

FRANCE. Revolutionary Agitation in Paris and Cries for and Against Imperialism. The Movement Originated in a Theatre—Excited Crowds in the Streets for a Time—No Fight- ing—Commercial Protection Voted Against England and Belgium—Parliament Will Not Return to Paris— Ministerial Disagreement. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Parts, Feb. 2, 1872. Anew play by Victorien Sardou, entitled “Raga- bas,” has just been brought out at the Vaudeville, It contains some expressions in favor of imperialism and tne Bonapartes, which have caused wild scenes of excitement at the theatre. ‘The agitation extends outside; and last night, after the performance, crowds passed through the Boulevards shouting, some “Down with the Bona- partes !"’ and othors, “Vive U Empire !” At one time a disturbance was threatened, but the crowds finally dispersed without coming to blows. PRESIDENT THIERS’ PRECAUTION AGAINST OUTBREAK. To prevent the recurrence of dangerous agitation President Thiers has ordered General Ladmirault to suspend the performance of the play, and, if neces- sary, temporarily close the theatre. COMMERCIAL PROTECTION. The Assembly to-day by an overwhelming majority passed the bill authorizing the government to notify England and Belgium of the termination of the commercial treaties between France and those countries.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YCRK HERALG. CONSPANTINOPLE, Feb, 2, 1872. A most barbarous attack has been made on the Jews in Ismail on tae Roumanian frontier, Several Israelites were killed, many wounded, and all who could—men, women, and children— fled from the place to save their lives, Tne fugitives have been kindly received by the officers of the Porte, Condition of the Isractites In the Territory. The occurrence of the present alarming outrage against the Israelites residing on the Roumanian frontier affords sad evidence of the renewal of the active persecution of the people of that race, in the form and with the mtensity which marked {ts en- forcement on the same line of territory some four years since, Our Europo-Eastern advices, dated in the early part of the year 1868, announced to the readers of the HERALD the following state of facts as being then existent in Roumania:— For some weeks past the Jews of the Danublan Principalities, and more especially those of Mol- davia, have addressed their co-religionists in Eng- land, France, Germany and elsewhere, calling upon them to use their influence with foreign govern- ments in order to save them irom the persecating acts of the Roumanian authorities, Who are driv- ing them out of the country, The Paris Jewish Chronicle gives & list ot the families expelled, The Roumanigus want to get rid of the Israelites, The Jews came into Moldavia when one of the Stourdza family was Hospodar, They were expelled trom Kussia, and giad to be allowed wo settle im @ eighboring country. | Wuen the of the principaliies took stitutional government was established, the Jews were treated with liberality; but their customs and havits made them tutolerable to a political party in the Chambers, who seek to drive them away. The French government, at the request of the Emperor Napoieon the Third, made representations on unis subject at Bucharest, and since then the English and Prussian governments have used their ine fluence to induce Prince Charles and his Cabinet to suspend all perseculing measures against the Jews. ‘tne Roumanian government is seemingly poilte, and “takes into consideration the representations of the protecting Powers; but the Nara treat- ment towards the Israelites is conunued, as will be seen by the iollowing proceedings of the foreign Consular body im the prin- cipalities, dated Jassy, April 15, 1863:—On the in- vitation of M. de Wolfarih, head of tne Austrian Agency and General Consulate in Moidavia, te undersigned Consuls of England, Austria, krance, Prussia and Russia, with the sole object of correctly informing the agents and Consuls General of Bucharest as to the deplorable lactis which have just occurred in Moldavia, in the district of Bakou, nave met to hear read the reports received by the Consular Agent of Austria at Bakou Telative to the events Which have occurred in the rural commuues Of that district, as deposed to by the most respectable and trustworthy Israelites in Jassy. In cunsequence of these declarations we undersigned are unanimous in declaring that they have no doubt wha-ever as to the existence of the measures of oppression and expulsion to which the Israentes nave been exposed, Consequently the undersigned are, unfortunately, ouly too well con- vinced that the denials of the Koumanian govern- ment, forwarded to the agents apd consuls at Bucharest, are utterly at variance with the notori- ous facts of the case Torkish impartiality—Care for All Classes and Sects. In the first days of January of the present year the Sultan’s government made a most excellent eflort to secure accurate information on the subject of the actual existing condition of the people or all classes and sects living under the rule of the Porte. ‘There was no distinction made as to Israelites, and hence the Jewish exodus irom Ismail into Turkey. A corps of officials, designated Journaldjis, or inspectors and annotators, were sent forth from Constantinople, enjoimed to report to the Imperial Cabinet in accordance with the instructions con- tained in a government circular, of which we sub- join the main points thus:— ‘To increase the welfare of all classes of his sub. jects by the constant and effectual protection of every one’s rights (here is certain hope ior the Israelites| and the adoption of all other measures is, it is Superfiuous to say, the Object of the most ardent wishes of our august master. Imperial fir- mans and Vizierial tetters have been successively addressed to the various provincial autuorities, pointing our the line of conduct incumpent upon them to follow in this important matter. The mis- sion of the Journaldjis forms part of the general measures which the Porte has resolved to adopt in order to carry out the Sultan’s views. Jt will be their duty to examine thoroughly, and in every sense of the word, the respective districts con- fided to their inspection; to inquire into the material and moral condition of tne population, and the degree of security which they enjoy (care for the Israelites again}; to note if the instructions of the central government are properly understood and executed, andi the people have been made duty aware of them; to uscertain if the latter have any real grievances against the local authorities, and the nature of such grievances; to record every day inthe journal or diary, wich each will keep for this pul , wl that they see and all that they hear from the lips of the people themselves on these poiats, without, nowever, instigating them to make complaints, and to send irequently to Constant. nopie copies of these records, The prosperity io an empire and the increase of wealth can only be accomplished by the labor of its imhabitanws, aud the progress which they effect by their lavor, which 18 tue basis of all progress, 18 only possibie when they who labor are certain of being able to enjoy in peace and security (no exception of race Or creed] the fruits of their industry. ‘This security itself can only be insured by the strict applicauon of tne principles of equity and justice. It ts in the nature of man to seek constantly to improve his position and to pro- mote the weliare of his country; and the only thing which can in the long run pervert these desirable impulses which are innate in him, and check his generoas efforts to do well, is when he 1s duomed to see that the result of his toil is made to profit others more than himseif. ‘The attention of the Jour- naldjis should be specially directed to the mode in which these true and salutary prineipies are carried into effect in the vilaéts under their inspection.

THE MUD RUN SLA GHTER, Great Excitement Along Lehigh Road. nigh neadaapoennta ty SCENE OF THE DISASTER VISITED. Complete List of the Dead and Wounded. THE FEELING AT WILKESBARRE. The terrible accident onthe Lehigh Valley Rail- road has caused great gloom and consternation at Mauch Chunk, Wilkesbarre and several ot the other ‘owns connected by the road. Most of the bodies were identified at the Mansion House before midnight of Thursday, two being first identified by papers found in their possession. The proprietor of the house, Mr, E. ‘. Booth, in addition to preparing a place for the reception of those who were killed, did everything in his power to assist the wounded, and threw open his beat rooms and‘ provided the best his house could afford them. VISITING THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. A number of persons visited the spot where the accident occurred yesterday, The curve between Mud Run and Rockport, near where the rail broke, is of a mghly dangerous nature—that ts, speaking in connection with casualties of the kind and from the fact that w& runs on the top of a high flint hill, As it was the rail was broken on the Rockport side of the curve, and hence a more terrible slaughter was ayolued; for had the acci- dent occurred on the centre of the curve the whole train—engine, cars and passengers—must have been precipitated over the mountain to @ distance exs ceeding considerably the height the two wrecked cars fell. THE WRECKRD CARS. After examining the piece of broken rail, which is about two feet in length, we viewed the cars and the spot from whence they fell over. The Central Railroad car was lying in a shat- tered condition, with the end that broke away extending out on the ice over the Lehigh River, which is about thirty-five feet wide at this point, and the other end resting on the rocks at the edge, which rise gradually up to the road, This car, though wrecked so tnat it 1s a perfect skel- eton, the stoutest parts of the frame only standing, was not burned, as at first reported, from the stove in it at the time of tne ac cident. The pieces of cushions and leatner, iron, &c., were scattered over the ice for several yards around, The North Pennsylvania car was burned, though not completely consumed, Botn, of course, are utterly worthless. The latter car was one of the “compartment” cars and was considered much stronger and more durable than the other, but, owing to a siight difference in the cost of trav- elling im this vehicle, there were fewer passengers in it. THE EMBANKMENT IS OF SOLID ROCK, and could only be climbed with difficulty. One of the gentlemen who was in the smoxing car when the accident occurred informed your corre- spondent that after getting down on to the ice for a board to stretch one of the dead ladies on he had first to throw up the wood, and then clamber up on his hands ana knees, a task that was by no means easy. A man who was “clearing” up on the spot statea that the trains never ran more than thirty miles an hour at this point, and great care nas been usually taken to “regulate the engine for the curve.” The damage to the property of the company— rolling stock and the road, &c.—is estimated at $10,000, apart from the chances of law sults, of which there will certainly be a good many, and some damages awarded too, .
