Men will not put their money into any
Bi&te or country, uptil. they can form some

the negroes have’ not an absolute majority of

white voters unite against them. The latter
course would be very likely to involve a con

Tire Busteed SnooTiNO Affair.—The
Montgomeiy Mail says of tho late shooting of
Judgo Bnstced by United States District At
torney Martin, in Mobile:
This shooting has no political significa
tion, although wo have no doubt that some
such signification will be given it. Bnstced
has been a Conservative Republican, and
Martin a Radical Republican, Martin, it
will bo remembered, formed his last Grand
Jnry of none but test oath men, and Bustccd
dissolved the jury and had another called,
of which Senator Winston was foreman. If
there is any politics in tho Shooting affray,
it goes against the Radicals. We wish Gen.
Sw&yne to telegraph the truth as to tbe.rcla-
tive politics ofthe Judge and Attorney when
ho informs Pope of the assault and shooting
of a United States Judge.
In a political point ofview we wishthe pa-
pers of the North to understan&th&t tho Moil

have been shot. But, as a friend to law and

Hon. John A. Cothbebt.—'Wo regret to
learn that this venerable citizen has lost the
place of Assistant Clerk of the United States
District Court for .tho Southern District of
Alabama. Thirty years ago Judge Cuthbert
was a distinguished and influential citizen
of the State of Georgia. He represented that
State in the Congress of the United States,

_ [ Union,' a leading journal published at
Milledgcville, he exercised a commaudingin-

Dr. Joseph Jones.—Wo regret to learn that

Jones, had his now residence, in. Nashville,
consumed by fire on Christmas morriin", at

ordinary meeting.
After a brief time thus spent,' turning to
Gtaeral Johnston, be said, in his usual qniet,
grave way, when eritering upon matters .of
business, “I bave requested;you tad * General
Beauregard, General Johnstoa, to join us this
craning, that we might have tbe. benefit of
your views upon the situation of tho country.
Of course;- we ail foe! tbe magnitude.-of the
moment. ' Opr-late disasters are terrible; but
I do not‘ think we should regard them as
fUtal. ;I think,we can'wliip the enemy yet if
our people will trim out. ' We must look at
matters calmlyi however, and sew What is left
for us to do.' whatever can ho done must be
done at once. We Lave not a d*y to lose.”
A pause ensued! Gen. Johnston not* seeming
to tleem fiimself expected to ’speak; when
tlie President said:' “We should like to bear
your views, Gen'. Johnston.” '
Upon this tbe General, without preface or
introduction—hii words translating the. ex
pression which his face bad worn since he
entered the room—Baid, in his terse, concise,
demonstrative Way, as if seeking to condense
thoughts that; were crowding for utterance,

Mr. Sprague sppke rit some length in; favor
of tbe repeal,'saying that he was hound again
to express the alarm he felt in-regard to the
commercial interests of the country, especial-'
ly of the North. The fact that English labor
bad made India cotton equal to the best 8ca
Island was the true reason of.thqiall jD price.
He denied that the country, tvas richer now
than before the war. It was. poorer to the
extent of tlie $5,000,000,000 sperit during the
war. If-the amount prorlueert during the
war were deducted from this, they .should'’mid
to it $1,500,000,000 which had been destroyed.

- “Wo can'easily try it, sir. If wocanac-

knows I am not particular as to forms. How
will you reach Sherman ?"
“I would address him a brief note, propos

“Well, sir, you can adopt this course,

at tho writing table, arid, taking np a
pen, offered to act as the General's amanuen
sis. Atthe request of the latter, however,
tho President dictrited tho letter to General
Sherman, which was written at once upon a
half-sheet of letter folded as note paper, and

and said ho would send it to Gen. Sherman

South was too much. In tbe name of hu
manity* he objected. If the tax was too oner

cautions against wholesale slaughter; arid
no w is -the time to'inaugurate them. * Here are
a few suggestion^ toward a general reform. ;
- L Car-wheels will fly apart’; but each cat
should have-so many wheels; i so placed, that
any one maybe 'shivered without disabling
the car or throwing itr off the track. This, is
simply- a matter of cost; and .economy fis
-eally on the- samo side with safety. ; Of
to complete thq Pacific railroad, was tho true
way to pay this debt. Let loose the energies
of the people, and remove the uonccessiry
taxes from all industry. In conclusion, he
rayed the Committee to consider where this
urden was ultimately to rest, and place it
where it could be. borne.
Mr. Sprague said that, while boastfulness
and brag was being indulged in by the
American people, other nations had la^pred
and prospered. . J
Hr. Sherman denied that this repeal was
proposed as mnch for. the benefit of the rebel
aristocrats of the South, so often denounced
by the Senator, as for the benefit of the four
millions of black men! It was upon them that
tho Senator would'fasten this burden. Not
Ohio alon6, nor any particular section, fa
vored this repeal, but the whole country.
Would they wait while people starved?' He
hoped they would follow the examploof tho
House, and pass tho'bill. Doubtless, by a
more careful apportionment of tho taxes, the
public debt could be curtailed.
Mr. Fessenden moved to go into executive
session, saying it was evident no action could
be taken, and certainly no evil could result
from :i pustpiii.eineiit'lor MXtcun d .

iron—of cast-iron plates, firmly held by
wrought-iron rods. These cost bat little
more than first rate wooden cars, will last far
longer, and are worth twice as much when
worn. out. There is ccoriomy in the sub
stitution of iron for wooden cars; while the
former are almost proof against, calamity.—
They do not burn in case of accident; they
do Uot splinter; they do not crash into oven-
trood; their gencral'uso would save tbrec-
dfbnrths ’ of the lives now lost by railroad"
casualties. No more wooden passenger cars
should be constructed, and those now in ex
istence should be superseded by iron ones so
fast as the latter cau be completed.
HI. We must stop painting all manner of
public conveyances—more especially steam
boats—with mixtures whereof one ingredi
ent, is a highly inflammable, oil. Our grand
and gay river and Bound steamers are fire
ships, ready to flash into death-dealing con
flagration. Now, we do not insist that wood
en partitions, floors, ceilings, etc,, may be
rendered absolutely incombustible by any
known pigment, but we do insist that there
are paints which tvould greatly retard the
spread of .fire, where they did not complete
ly prevent it. Now, cabins are so painted
ana upholstered that a fire, once kindled,
runs the length of a steamship or boat as
fast as a squirrel could. If all the surfaces
were painted or japanned with the least com
bustible combination of substances already
known to science, it would be morally impos
sible to burn a ship, boat, or car filled with,
.passengers. They could, at least, confine the
fire within narrow limits until they could se
cure the means of extinguishing it.

provided with brakes that could he instantly

They have Various and conflicting duties;
they arc driven by storm and cold to seek
shelter arid warmth within the cars; arid tlie
signals of the engineer to apply brakes are
often defective or unheard. The engineer,
keeping a good lookout, is naturally first to
perceNc danger; and he should be enabled
to apply every brake on the instant. The
seconds (at least) required to convey his sig
nals to the break men, and enable them to
