[From the Troy Times, Feb. 11.] The New York HERALD announces the death In ® Southern State of Francia B, Edymoine, The Mention of this name recalls one of the most aingular prison tncldents that ever occurred in this State. In 1862 Edymoine was convicted of burglary at Owego and sentenced to five years in the Auburn Prison, In August, 1853, Governor Seymour, then in bis first gubernatoriat term, received from Auburn two sets of papers, one signed by Dr. Briggs, the prison pny- sician, and the other by the warden, agent, chaplain and.a number of keepers, asking & par- don for Edymoine, representing tnat he bad been exemplary in his conduct and was then in an ad- vanced of consumption. On these repre- sentations the Governor promptly issued the ardon, and the prisoner was released, A few Raye alterwards, however, it was discovered that the papers. had been forged by Edy- moine, and that, by the commission of @ crime Which had sent hundreds to prison, he had actually secured his release, He was @ skuiul peuman, id had practised the art of fdrgery With such successiui results tuat the signatures upon the wigs were fac-siniles of the auto- graphs of the several gentlemen, and could not possibly have been detected. Ed. moine Was soou | alterward arrested in Albany by Cap'ain Hawa dorn, who is still @ member of the Alva police, and returned to Auburn, but was goon released on a writ of haneas corpus sued out by Olarence A, Seward, writ was made returnable before Judge Humphrey, and Christopher Morgan, Clarence A.

(From the Burlington (Iowa) Gazette.) | The New York Henatn is getting up column articies to induce Grant to resign, The arguments adduced are weighty ones no doubt to statesmen and great patriots, but Grant don’t look at things in thatlight, He claims that he saved the country and Wat it belongs to lim, and considers tt mighty mean jor the people whom he plucked a#a brand from the burning to be finding fault with his pro- eprietary intereet in the matter, There is only one way tat Grant could pve induced to resien, and } that Is to pay tum up in full Jor his unexpired ) term, | {From the Willlamsport (Pa.)

It has been sugges‘ed that Grants chief objec- tion to following the advice of the HERALD, in the matter of resigning the Presidency, 1s that such a course would deprive him of $100,000 salary, Of course, this is au important consideration with Grant, but We think tt this is the only objection it could be easily obviated by & popular subscription of the necessary amount.

RAPID TRANSIT. THE CIVIL ENGINEERS’ REPORT—THE CAUSE OF DISAGREEMENT—THE ALDERMANIC COMMIT- TEE, It looks now as if the report of the Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers will not be given to the public through the newspapers for several days. There has veen considerable time consumed in revising the proofs of the docu- ment, that was not expected te be lost. There are #0 many figures embraced in the report, and they represent so many tedious and carelul cal- culations that the committee would not feel com- fortable if the tyyes snould mar them. The docus ment, then, will not be ready for publication until next weck. It is somewhat unforsanate that the officers of the soc.ety imterfered with its prepara- tion for publication just before the tate meeting of their association, If the members of the committee had been alowed to continue the work they had then begun to do upon their mavuscript 16 would have been sent to the printer very soon after® the socfety’s meet- ing, and the substance of the report would have been known to the public at a time when its in- terest in the discussion Of rapid transit was most lively. There is a shrewd suspicion that the ac- tion of the officers of the society and that of the society itseif were dictated by selfishness, Ana this suspicion is given color by the statements contained in aletter written by Mr, Richard H. Buell, @® member of the Civil Engineers’ society to the Hatiroad Gazette of the current week. It will be remembered that thd society re- fused to discuss the report of the Committee on Rapid Transit on the ground that it was improper for the association to pronounce opinions upon local engineering provie nis ; thas it discharged the committee, and determi: merely to print the report @ means of revenue to the society. The reason of all this is found in the de- sire of the society not to run connter to the plans which any of its members may have made and published, to accomplish rapid transit, Mr. Buell, speaking of the refusal of the society to cemmi itsell to the conclusions o/ its committee, says:— The principal arguments against such action pre- sented at the last meeting of the society were ug fol- lows:— I, The individual members of the society are engaged in constructing, designing and svperinteadiag a great variety of local improvements, ‘or the society, as @ body, to pronounce an opinion upon the work of any place hun in @ very embarcass ng posi- stand that they are having trouble with Water Works.” sail a speaker. “twonder how Mr. — (the Chiet Engineer and a meinber of the so- ciety) would luke the soctety to investigate his busl- 038 iI, Probably there are not ten men,in the society who could agree upon a plan for rapid transit, so that itis absurd to propose to discuss and decide upon the matter. in regard to the first proposition tt may be remem bered that, in the opinion of the writer, if the society ay a body can devise @ better pian for an engincerng siracture or a better mode of supervision than iy proposed or practised = by the individual member Wio bas the at in charge, the pian of the iatter Ollered by the socie putation of the soc gineering protessioa, for, the houid be replaced py the Letter on dues not add to the 1 ment of the en: Ly 8 to con- emn & plan that i inadequate or unduly expensi simply because it was devised by a member of chat s« cleiy, 1 would seem advisable to obtain the seutiment of ail the meimbers throughout the couuiry in regard to the above proposition. It certainly 1s strange, if the argument is cor- rect, that not ten men in the Society of Civil Kugi- neers could agree upon @ pian jor rapid transit, Especially 18 Tange when the aiffcuity is looked at in the tshed upon it by the state- ment, agreed in by many Of. the best engineers.in this cliy, 8ome inembers and some outside of the Society of Civil Engineers, that the building of a rapid transit railway would employ only the well understood principles of bridge vulldiny. But the argument cannot be true. 1 the indiviaual members of the society were all relieved of those joads of prejudice whica are now put on their minds by the advocacy of particuiar scherues for rapid transit—whicle they hope to have adopted’ and expect to bring them rofit—there would be @ unanimous teel- ing among them that “local engineering prob- lems” are things which they ought to discuas, and they Would feel that it is within their pro- vince tosommand @ simple, practicable plan for the accomplishment of rapid trans)t. Thus they would take the matter of providing a plan out of the hands Ol c.arlatans and do a grand service to the city. An‘ experienced engineer said to the writer yesterday:—“This matier of buildmz a repid transit railway inust be taken away from the wild schemers, There must be vo work done by ‘prac- tical men,’ Tee event of their wor! la always rain. They always put more strain upon supports than the latter can bear continuatiy, and fually there comes @ crash.

In one case we are certain of success. In ar Otner there might be a jailure, aod alter that rapid transit would be kept ‘rom the city fur yeara.”? ‘Ihe Aldermanic Committee on Kapid Transit have not heid # meetivg since their public meeting last Wednesday; but Mr. Purroy, the chairman, states the committee will hold an executive moet- ing on Monday, aud will probably have their re- port ready by Thursday next.
