The Law of the Road.
Tiie case of Doctor Moont, of Cincinnati,
who was on Friday last knocked down and
fatally injured by a wagon driven at an un
lawful rate of Bpccd, is a Tory painful ono. lie
died on Saturday morning, tit the Glrard
House, where, with his wife and child, he was
stopping on a visit to th's city. It is not our
purpose to prejudge the affair. The driver of
the wagon has been committed to answer at
court on a charge of homicide, and it would
be unkind, as well as unjust, to embarrass his
defense by exciting public prejudice against
him. He is in the hands of the ministers of
ustlce, and there we leave him for the present.
But it is high time that the law of the road
should be settled by judicial exposition and
exemplary execution of It, ia order that all
may equally understand and observe it, and
the rights of all bo therebv preserved. The
highways of a city are for the common
use of the citizens, but they must ba used In
a lawful manner. While it is true that each
one la required to exercise ordinary
care for self-protection in passing to
and fro, all are required to exercise equal
care not to do injury to any indi
vidual passenger. But those who are on
horseback or in vel icles seem to think that
they possess greater privileges than taose who
go on foot, and that when any question arises
as to the tight oi way, they have the advan
tage. It must have struck every one who has
given any attention to the subject, :hat per
sons who ride and drive in our streets, act pre
cisely as if the streets belonged exclusively or
especially to them ; and that, therefore, every
body else is bound to look out for them and
keep out oi the.r way, and that they need look
out for nobody, and, if so Inclined, may run
over whom they please.
This, however, is neither the law of the.
highway, nor is it common sense or reason, on
which all law professes to be founded. As
carelessness in the useot a crowded thorough
fare by those who ride or drive through it,
may if suit iu more serious injury than equal
carelessness by any one on foot, it would
seem but right that the former should ba held
to the exercise of so much greater care la
their use of ibe public streets, as the injury
their negligence may cause is greater than
could possibly or probably result troin like
negligence on the part ot a pedestrian. Bat
the violation, in practice, of ttiis sound rule,
constantly puts in peril the lives of all Coot
passengers on the streets of our cities (who
greatly outnumber those who ride or drive),
and, as a natural consequence, we are conti
nually hearing of such cases as that of Dr.
Mount.
The evil must be corrected, and it can only
be corrected by clearly deflnin? what the law
of the street is, and making warning examples
ol those who violate it. A case in point has
just been decided In the Supreme Court oi
New York, which, the Judge said, would, as
far as the verdict of a jury could do it, settle
the rights to the highway "of those who are
walking on the one hand, and those who are
riding or driving on the other." Matilda
Moody, while crossing to the sidewalk from
a city passenger railway car, on Eighth
avenue, was run over and seriously hurt by
a team and sleigh, driven at an unlawful
speed by Geobge Osgood. She brought
suit for damages, and, after a brief absence,
the jury rendered a verdict lor plaintiff for
$8500, and the Court granted an additional
allowance of five pr cent Judge Fosthb,
who tried the case, after asserting the general
principle that all persons are required to use
reasonable taie lor their own safety while in
the public streets, said :
"Aa a matter ol law he would charee thut a
person has no right to drive rapidly in the
streets ot New York:, to the hazard of tlie life, or
ol injury to. any person unless he can keep Uis
horses under control. Those who will drive so
last as not to bo able to keep their horses in
baud, are bound at ttitir peril to know it,
whether they do or not."
That enunciates the law as regards fast
driving and the driver's control of his horses.
But Judge Fosieb settled a still more Im
portant point. The defendant in the case
Bought to excuse himself by proving that he
called to the woman to get out of his way,
when be, as shown, was diiving In a public
street at the rate of a milo in three minutes 1 1
On this branch of the case we have the fol
lowing repoit:
"The Court charged that if from the moment
bhe was seen by deieudHnt not Irom f lif tune he
bhoulud to ho"- he could avoid her by his own
act, lie had no ri'jht to depend upon her to gtt out
of the way, awl no business to shout to her to
urice her out of the road it he could avoid her hi n
setf. A. man cortld not drive another out of the
road by telX:nj him there was dangtr, or making it
daruierous for hint; tlioujh the Court xmuld nit
nay the defendant did bo. It a the buniuess of
the de4endant to avoid hor the moment he saw
her. especially if driving a'- a rapid rate."
This contains the pith of the whole matter.
A walker In the streets of a city has, at least,
as much right to the road as a citizen who is
riding or driving, and the latter is not allowed,
by the law, to run down any pedestrian man,
woman, or child when hw gait is unlawful,
and then justify himself by proving that he
hallooed to the walker to get out of his way.
The driver, iustead of having the exclusive
light of way, has, at most, no greater right
to the road than the walker. Indeed, as they
can d more harm by want of care than pe
destrians, and are largely In the minority as
respects numbers, those who ride and drive
In the public highways should be held to the
observance of a greater degree cf caution
than other persons.
'1 his subject Is ol very considerable interest
to the community. If the law governing It is
not yet explicit and stringent enough, it
should be made so, either by the Judiciary or
the Legislature. A stranger has been killed
in our . streets by a man who was driving a
wagon heedlessly. A wife has been made a
widow, and a child made an orphan, by a
reckless fellow, who may have imagined that
be had a right to drive h's teim over any one
who would not get oat of his road. In such a
case no Jury can render compensation In
damages. Tho injury done is Irreparable to
the private sufferers. And unless the police
of the street is better regulated, better under
stood, and better enforced than it is, every
citizen who walks in the streets of Philadel
phia, even with ordinary care, must (eel that
be carries his life in his hand. The evil calls
for remedy, and tho people wdl look to tho
courts and to the Leg'slature for redress.
Social Panics.
We believe that Barnum is the author of
the philosophical remark, that the Americas
people are always willing to pay liberally for
being humbugged. We Imagine that be U
about as able to decide that question as any
man living, inasmuch he has been engiged
in the business longer than any ether profes
sional. Taking into view the last t wenty yearj. we
can revive the recollection of m my devices to
excite the popular mind. We remember how
Genlx made a reputation for his hat store by
buying the choice seat to Jenny Ltnd's
first concert In New York. How Root, our
Philadelphia daguerreotipist, and Osrian E.
Dodge, the musician, followed his example
with but limited success. It would require
more time and space than we have at our dis
posal to refer to the numerous sensations that
have been gotten up in the metropolis. They
enjoyed the luxury of a bogus baby, which
lor months kept the newspaper repor ers busy
in narrating the delectable details. About
the same time a notorious bully was shot by
a police officer, and carried the bullet la his
heart for several days before he wouli consent
to shuffle of! this mortal coil. Boston the
Athens of America got up a specially fine
murder, in which a distinguished Professor
acted a prominent part. Philadelphia has
distinguished itself principally by lengthy
accounts of haunted houses, and expositions
of the Davjcnpobt brothers. The present
excitement is diseased pork and cattle in a
moribund condition. We eat our morning
steak with fear and trembling, lest, perhaps,
the Rinderpest should have gotton hold of
the bovine race. What the next excitement
may be we cannot tell. Japanese Tommy
and the Prince of Wales have had their day.
Kossuth and Consolidation cost us a trifle,
but the bills are paid. It may be that wh?n
the Chesnut Street Bridge is finished some
little excitement will be produced; but noth
ing less than a volcanic eruption, or an earth
quake, ought to disturb the public peace
after all the horrors that we have had lately.
Nat hville, February 17. A passage at arms
occurred m the House of Representatives to
day, brtwoen Ibe Speaker, Mr. Haskill, and
Sir. Mullens, a Representative.
A niHcussion arose about the power of the
Speaker to compel members to vote, wjph Has
kell called Mullens a "d old liar" aud a
l.vinp scoundrel 1" accompanying, the words
with his mallet, which he hurled at Mullens'
head. Tho latter drew a pi.-tol, but the roam
bers rushed in, and quiet was restored.
Thh above telegram may be a matter of
news, but it is a fact which is such a disgrace
to all Americans as to be suppressed through
the dictates of delicacy and popular pride.
Can we wonder, when all the papers of our
land herald forth to the world that the
Speaker of a State Legislature condescended
to so far demean himself as to enter the lists
in opposition to the fish-mongers of Billings
gate, and disgraced the Chamber of Legis
lature with slang and profanity, which would
not be tolerated In a brothel can we won
der, we say, that such works as those of "Sam
Slick's" should hold up our people to foreign
ridicule P It Is not sufficient that the Speaker
curses and swares like a hod carrier and it
would be a very Irreligious hod-carrier who
would use such language but he must hurl
I bis mallet, the inslimia of his office, at tho
head of a Representative, who cavalierly re
plies by endeavoring to shoot the Speaker. If
such scenes do disgrace the capital of a Com
monwealth, let them be kept a secret, and not
paraded abroad, to turn our people into a
laughing-stock for foreign scorn and con
tumely. NEOito Scffbage in Missouri. Proba
bly th greatest ohange which we have had
in the political world tor many years is ex
hibited in the case of the Hon. John B. Has
DEitsoN, of Missouri, always a Unionist, but
heretelore of the conservative Border State
stamp. About a week ago he mado a speech
which, as he asserts It to bo the exponent of
the sentiments of the citizens of the great
State he represents, is a powerful evidence of
the forward tendency of our day. He said :
Sir, these Ireedmen will be protected. The
decieeoi Almighty God has gone lorth, as it
went lorth in avor cf their freedom originally,
thtt they shall be endowed with all the riutiti
that belong to other men. Will you protect
them f Give them the Dhiior, Air. rreideui, and
then they are protected. 1 know that in the
great State ot Missouri we have one hundred an1
tiltv thousand tree negroes, while there is not a
former nou-laveboloiusr S'.aio in the Union tua-.
bus perhaps oiu -halt ot that number; and I nav
lor my constituent that 1 will agruu to take
negro suflrage.''
Four years ago, to be a frlond ot the Union In
Missouri was equivalent to a proscription, was
to expose yourself to injur) , U not death. A set
of guerillas ruled, and many of the people sym
pathized with them. Pbice and his followers
were more popular than Lyon and his disci
ples. To-day we see her Senator, in advance
of his time, standing up In bis place In the
National Capitol, and favoring the extension
to the black of a privilege which does not
meet with favor in any of the late slavehold-
Ing, If any ol the tree States. Truly "the
thoughts ol men are widened with the cycles
of the sun."
"It is understood that the Congressional Com
mittees on Claims tiike the broad ground to n ai
it han never1 been tho pract ce of Governments
to make eon penation tor the ravages of war,
even when committod by their ovn armies oa
their own soil, the question ot ooinpcntntlon to
suflerrt!) in a hostilo region cannot be enter
ta nod. This will blight the hones of a large?
number of cl limants at the South, many of
whom have already placed their papers beisro
Congress." Star.
Wb regret that the policy of the Govern
ment will render such a course necessary. It
seems hard that the Unionists who have, lost
all their property In the South, became ol
their lo) ali j, cannot now be reimbursed. Bat
when the matter is quietly reviewed, It will
appear that it is hardly the duty of the United
States to pass the laws. It was not the fault
ot the Government that they lost their pro
pel ty ; it was the crime of the community In
which they lived. From that community
shou'd tho loss bo recovered. Let the confis
cated property of Rebels ba given to the loyal
ists, and their losses thus made up. Let trea
son pay for what loyalty has been deprived
of, and not the national authorities.
The Commitee on Naval Affairs.
The Committee of the House upon Navaj
Affairs have inspected League Island. It is
to bo hoped that they will report at an early
day, so as to set at rest forever the slanders
set afloat by interested parties in New York
and in New England. There Is no finer site
for a naval depot In the world than League
Island; and it was a gool thing that the
Committee decided to inspect ,It carefully.
Tl ey went at their work In a business-like
way. This matter ought to be settled during
the present term, and our Representatives
should urge it upon the attention of other
members. If proper efforts are used, we
think that we will secure t'e Naval Depot, in
spite ot the unscrupulous attempts of design
ing politicians tlsewhere. Agitate, agitate,
gentlemen of the Philadelphia ( legation!
Church Accommodations.
To tlie Editor of the Evening Ttlegraph:
On Sunday morning we dropped in at St.
Stephen's Church, Tenth street, above Chesnut,
to worship with the ongrccat'.ou; but, to oar
uttr astonishment, we found a lioticj posted
up: ''Visitors will please not. occupy sats until
alter the first lesion," etc. The house o' God is
assumed to be the gate to Heaven; should not
every inducement therefore be held out o poor
unfortunates who, by accident, should cross
the threriho'd of Hi" house desirous of hearing
a word of encouragement? It wa3 God's a-g'.i-n-ent
to the Israelites to be kind to strangers,
because thev themselves had been "strangers in
the land ol Egypt." For the welfare of Chris
tianity we hope to see it is placard taken down,
and have a welcome for all. Stranger.

NEW OAS REGULATOR,
INVENTED BY
DR. CHAS. M. CRESSON,
(Tata M snaring Fnglneer of the Philadelphia Oaa
Works', poattstlng OKEAT DEl.1CAoV ofadjastment
by tbe nse ot a peculiar form of va re and gas bolder,
governing accurately a simile Ugh, with a oupacity to
pas gos enough tor the full number of llgh s. and tha
ability within the Instrument Its. If, to luorea'e tha
pleasure, whon the greater quantity ot gat la requited.
Among the peculiar advantagea of this Begulator,
that make It preferable to Instramenta of more con
tracted size, which require the nse of .Vr'fiCUBT or
FLIXIULF, DIAI'IIJtAQMS, the following deserye
especial notice :
FIK T-The tree motion ot the Begulatlng Valva
through considerable space, glyes It greater de ioaoy ol
adjustment, and a wider range of consumption In a
single Instrument, than la possible with other forma.
BKC OKD-Ihe fluid seal ot GLYCIRINE nsed In this
KEGL'LATOB, u voids the danger resulting in other
forms, from tbe unwholesome vapors ol alercary.
which, passing off with the Uae, are disseminated
throughout tbe rooms In which it is burned, subjeoting
the occupants TU ALL TIIE Dt-LKIEHIOUS ICFFEUT3
OF MH1C VRY upon the human srbtem. and eapoclaly
upon the LUNG n and SKIN, when It la thus diffused aa
vaior. Ihe accidental overflow of Mercury from iheia
mercurial Seals has) often Injured valuable Gas Meters,
tlie coat of which has necessarily been charged to the
consumer.
Where the nse of MEKCTJBT In regu'ators Is avoided
by the substitution of a FLEXIBLE DIAPHKAOM. tha
resulting difficulties are also numerous; one is tne 'lia
bility to LFAKGlt and EXPLOSION Or OAS t an
other, tbe losa ot Flexibility and consequent Inefflolenoy
by ago and exposure to cold, and thirdly, the inherent
vice of want ot oellcacy of adjuuuioat, and range of
action.
To remedy these funlli, tho 'CBESSON BEOCLA
TOR" was Invented, and wherever Introduced It haa
given the greatest sailcfactlon, always pro.iuolng a
steady light sua regular consumption, with a saving ot
irom TWtNTY to T111KTY Per Cent in amount of gas
consumed.
LE11EKS rATENT have been granted for this Reu
lator, both In the UNITED STATES and In ENGLAND.

The following U an extract from the Journal of tha
FRANKLIN INoIITUTB, dated October 18, 1865: "An
experimental trial was then made as to the quantity of
gas eoneamed by the burners when under regulation to
their maximum euonomy, and als a t he amount consumed
by tbe same burners when subjected to the ordinary
variations of stria t pressure.
"The result showed that with the Begulator, there
was nnlforn ly 78 cublo feot ol gas per hour consumed,
being an average of 3 7-10 oublc t'oet per burner Whilst
without the llevuiator tho same burners consumed
Irom 106 to 140 cublo feet per hour, the average bolng 126
cubic lect, or 6 feot per hour to each burner "
The test apparatus wbloh was set up In the FRANK
