It is composed of three I'uks vie The
Central Bail road, thi. ty-two and eight-
tenth miles; the Delaware rod Bo< id
Brook Uatlroad, twObty-seven m'les, and
the North Pennsylvania Railroad, twenty,
eight and six-teutba miles. The through
distanoe to New York on this road is
eighty-eight and fonr-tenths milee. The
track is double and is composed through
out of steel rails; weighing sixty-six
pounds to the yard, all of which is stono
ballasted. One of the moat prominent
features of the new line ie the iron b. Idge
over the Delaware river at Yardley t.llo,
which, like ell the other bridges, lias a
doable track.
Wk guess Grant wishes John J. Da
venport had never been born. He resides
in New York and filled the position of
United Btales Commissioner. He also
soled ee enginer of elections for the pur
pose of corrupting voters, or, at least, to
be used in pari/ing elections for the Re
publican party; and to do this, it is in
tsstimony, the Department of Justice
with the advice And uonseut of the Presi
dent, used thirty thousand dollars of the
Secret Service Fund. The evidence is
conclusive that Grant was not meroly a
diroot accomplice but the moving author
in this disgrsosful business. These ecau
date continue marobing on, and there
must be s final crash before long. “For
wheresoever the corin'vs is, there will the
eagles bo gathered together."

We do aot agree with all tha Nashville
American has to say ia tbs artiola whioh
wa give in these eelamne. We ere op-
poeed to mob or Lynch lew in nay shape.
It hie ia many caaaa proved tha Iliad ttf
ell our wo#*. We present the article to
(bow the opinions of leading journals
elsewhere.
Appropos te the same subject, the At
lanta Comiitution represents tbs views
of eisny Atlanta friends of the Rev. (?)
0. A. Ksndriek, who ere under the im-
preesion that hia mind has been impaired
eed beclouded for months past; end his
oondnet daring the .trial end sines Indi
cates the loss of ulf-eontro! and tha re
turn of meatal eberatioa, from whioh
he wu e sufferer iu early youth.
Tnay uy ha for yaan waa
treated for a painful malady of the
head and ear tnduoed by violent favor,
and his family have been apprehensive
for some time that the responsibility of a
large ehurob would prove more than ha
oonld bear. Ona who has been near to
him daring and since the investigation
statea ha hu no comprehension of his
situation tad of the crushing sorrow
whioh the matter hu brought upon his
family and friends.
Now this insanity “dodge,” to uu a
homely axprauion ia a too frequent com
plaint of late. We never hear of it until
tha laws of the land ara violated, aad dis-
graee or danger entailed. Why ia U wa
never hear of theu mental iterations

MIUREFREaEHTATIOHa OF THE
MUTH.
A correspondent of the New York Times
ku written ■ pack of faiuhooda from At

Gov. Smith. Now we have the authority
of tha Atlanta papers for uying that tha
Governor refused an interview with this
oorreepoadent until ha pledged his honor
he would not report the ocnversal.on.
The man gave b e word be would not.
Not satisfied with break 1 ng that, however,
ha hu written n pile of non-
•anu about the resoaitation of the
Wh'g party, in nonnaetion with
a union of Radicalism in Georgia,
and pat the opinions in the month of our
honored end hue Southern Executive.
The whole oonvenetion is mtnnfeetared
or edroilly garbled. Gov. Smith never
dreamed of uying enoh thing#, mneh lens

the tame, we imagine, who wu in Colom

there in showing theu wa (coring
Bohemians any attention. They ere sure
to retn'n oar hospitality with ingratitude
and mierapreuntatlon to secure party

that a correspoadent of a Radical journal
oan tall anything reumbling tha troth in

because it bu heretofore been the fash

But revolting u ia ibe crime above re

perhaps, that this seduoer is not now
■wioging by tha neok to a lamp post.
Wa are not able to speak of thus of
fences without using energetic language.
We feel that sooiety—ever reedy to awut-
ly and violently visit pnnishmsnt upon
s monster—does not took with the same
degrge of horror upon the foul deed of
the udneer. Society does not sum to quite
estimate the mise y he entails upon inno-
oent households, end the endless, incom
parable “sorrow’s orown of sorrow” fas
tened upon his viotim to tha end of her
most miserable existence. The seduoer’e
viotim usually lands in the brothel, end
wbet condition of existence may be
piotured more pitiful then that? The
raviaher who slays hia victim to
concesl the evidence of hia
orime, is more merciful than the
•educar whose oowardly selfishness con
demns hit victim to living perdition, with
s soul’s pollution tbs inevitable sequence.
Murder is leu cruel than aaduetion. The
crape upon the door does not betoken
tket onreless wound to loving hearts that
comes and stays forever with a blasted
family name. The oanae of the udnoed
girl is the oense of every man who ia the
father of a daughter, and of every brother
who has a sister. The unotity of a sin
gle home violated is the violation of the
esnotity of tbs entire oommnnity, U it ie
s virtuous one. He who has the temerity
to violate either, nnder the oloak of his
olerioal garb, or by whet other disguise,
eonoesla the stealthy, elimy, treacherous
■pproaeh to the consummation ef bis
wickedness, should know and bs fore
warned by wholesome examples, that the
eonseqnenoe is death—swift, osrtxin end
terrible.—Nathviltc American.

The eeme writer says there ie an attempt
to put Dr. H. V. M. Miller on the track u
independent, and is strong in North
Georgia. He will not, however, take a

ia nominated. He apprehended no danger
of euoh thing, and aeu no need of an
independent movement.
A Viousbgco telegram,dated April 26th,
uye: “For a long time steamboat man
have predicted that sonar or later th* river
would find its way through tha cut-off on
th* peninau’a just south ef the old rite of
De Hoto, opposite this oity. Vicksburg
people have viewed th* possibility ef that
event with alarmed apprehension, u th*
tui-iing of the river channel through the
nut would l-eanlt n the uving of about
thirty milee of river navigation, tha con
sequent adoption of that route by steam
boat men, end the leaving of Viokabnrg
out in the oold, iaasmuoh u the new
ehaauel would strike the^iiver at points
considerable distant above and below the
city. True to thea9 prediction!, the ent
ail ia practically mad* at lsvL k\ 2 o’clook
to-day the peninsula yielded to th* force
of the current, and qniokly au 'mmenu
flow of water rushed through Uw cut,
whioh caved ia huviljl nt both aids*.
Thera ie already a noticeable decline ia
the fores of the current above the eity.”
