TUB 11ROOKS CASE. The sudden change in the District Attorney- J hhip occurred at a very inopportune moment. ' Mr. Gibbons and hiH now assistants ave called i upon to try, without previous preparation, the diflicult and important case involving an ; examination into the guilt or innocence of : the partios charged with a murderous assault j on Berenue Detective Brooks; and although j Mr. Dwight's former experience as Assistant District Attorney enabls him to conduct the ; prosecution in a very creditable manner, he labors under a serious disability arising from the want of opportunities to familiarize him- ; self with the testimony and the witnesses likely to be produced. The public have expected an adroit and in genious defense, bul they could scarcely have been prepared for McLaughlin's asseveration ; that the parties arraigned did not commit the assault. The testimony of alleged aecom- , plices is always dangerous and to a largo ex- tent untrustworthy. Even if they swear positively to all that the Commonwealth de- sires or expects them to prove, it is not difli- ; cult to break the force of their testimony by ringing the changes on the maxim that "it is the biggest rogue that turns State's evidence." Bnt ia McLaughlin's case, he contradicts in court the statements he made before the Mayor, alleging as an excuse for his prevari cation that he was "skoered" by that official. IU now asserts that the men he had driven in his coach, on the day of the assault were "bigger men" than the prisoners; and that ho first became acquainted with Mara aud Dougherty in New York subsequent to the attempted assassination of Mr. Brooks. This unexpected course of Langhlin, cou pled with the attempts of the Commonwealth to prove the contradictory character of his Statements, constituted the leading feature of the proceedings yesterday. But there was some other evidenoe adduced to prove that the prisoners at the bar probably made the assault. One witness, who alleges that he is ac quainted with Laughlin, Dougherty, and Mara, testified that he saw them in Front street, Bear Arch, on the day of the assault, and that a few days previous he had seen Dougherty and Mara enter Laughlin's carriage, but it appears from the cross-examination of this witness that efforts will be made on the one fcide to argue that he was tampered with by the detectives, and on the other that agents of the whisky ring endeavored to seal hts lips. The turning point of the case will be whether the Commonwealth's evidence is sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the identity of the prisoners with the parties who made the assault. The counsel for the Commonwealth evidently expected that Mc Laughlin would give direct testimony on this point, and it remains to be seen whether, since they have been foiled in this attempt, sufficient evidence will be obtained from other Sources. The association of Laughlin, Mara, Dough erty, and a young man who rejoices in the name of "Bottles" at New York,, and at Coney Island, after the assault, is proved by the detectives and admitted by Laughlin; and although this circumstance is by no means a conclusive evidence of guilt, it possesses, iu connection with the other features of the case, deep significance. Let os have Peace! The Crown Prince of Prussia has arrived at Vienna, and been re ceived by the Austrian Emperor in right royal style. Whence it ia inferred that peace is now assured between Prussia and Austria. But why should peace be contingent upon the whims of these two men '( This is the pro blem which is now agitating the masses of the people in all the nationalities of Europe, and its only possible solution is the necessity for overturning the effete monarchical system which preys upon their resources, and sub jects their very lives to the animosities of a score or so of crowned heads. The continent is not yet ready for the ideal republic of Victor Hugo, but the people are being rapidly educated up to the democratic standard. Boston yesterday celebrated an anniversary t)f a rery curious character. On icf r October, 1835, there was a great riot at the Hub, during which William Lloyd Garrison was:0eized by the mob and a rope placed about his neck preparatory to a hanging pro cess; and all because Mr. Garrison had given Utterance to abolition seutiinent. How great is the contrast between the Boston of that day and the Boston of the present, but not less startling than the contrast -which is pre Bented by the country at large. The outrages which were perpetrated in Northern cities by men of Northern birth, at the behest of the slave-drivers, read like romances, and are almost incredible. Bu the curse has been lifted from the nation, although wo are still reaping its fruits. fisis. orr, BY All Mats. One of iie very worst of the brazen English women who have done what they could towards degrading the Mage in this city by their indecent antics re cently tried her hand at billiards in San Fran cisco, and failed, as a matter of course. Whereupon she remarked that, if she were no Letter as an actress tbim as a billiard-player, fahe would sell on. Let her do so, by all means, and let all the rest of the blondes follow her example. We have had quite enough of the English burlesque business iu lhis country a fact which even the blondes fU'O beginning to appreciate. The Civil War in Jupkh U ostensibly closed, and now the uecesfull faction is endeavor ing to consolidate its power by cutting off ths heads and confiscating the estates of its de feated opponents'. This barbarous course .presents a striking contrast to the manner in which the late conflict was conducted. When Tri nee Enomoto was pruned up in Hakod U by the Mikado's troops, and was reduced to the starvation point, his wants were gene rously supplied by the besiegers, in order to ensure fair play and give him an opportunity of being whipped in genteel style. ISiXrt SiN( is n very leaky place. Every now and then there Is an uprising among the convicts, with an out-nud-ont escape by way of varying the monotony. The latest sensa tion is a successful attempt at jail breaking by an enterprising gentleman who picked up two or three hundred thousand dollars in a broker's oftico, for which irregular speculation he was sentenced to four years' imprisonment. It would be worth the while of the New York prison ' authorities to give the l'ounsvlvauia system a short trial. A. J. It looks very much as if the Senate is destined to be afflicted with the presence of the ghost of the late - Andrew Johnson for the next six years, unless he should chance to bo removed to another sphere byKome unmis takable blessing in disguise. As Emerson Etheridgo is the alternative presented, the Senate is certainly to be pitied. 8W1XCJI 810XAL8 OX RAILROADS. To the railroads, more perhaps than to any other single influence, is due the rapid devel opment of the internal resources of the United States. Traversing the continent in every direction, they bind together our great empire with bands of iron, aud produce an identity of interests between the inhabitants of far distant States that would be impossible without their aid. The immense extent of country covered by the railroads of the United States has produoed a system of man agement that is peculiar to this continent. The work to be done is so different that the railroad system of the United States can scarcely be put in comparison with that of Europe. In England particularly a degree of perfection in certain details has been arrived at that leaves us far behind. With a level country of limited extent, it is possible there to build roads and nt them with a completeness that is almost unknown here, but on the other hand the railroads of the United States, crossing lofty mountains, immense rivers, great deserts, and connecting ocean with' ocean, present in their magnitude, and in the enterprise and eminent ability with which they are managed, a far more sublime specta cle than those of any other connUy under the sun. The first thing to be dqne here is to get a road built and in operation, and then to introduce such improvements as experience may demonstrate as necessary. The manage ment of the Eastern roads especially is rapidly being brought to, a great state of perfection, and the ingenuity of inventors is taxed to provide for the safety and comfort of our great travelling public. Afty appliance that will reduce the danger of accident to a minimum is of great consequence, and is worthy of the consideration not only of rail road men but of the whole public. The Cam den and Amboy Railroad has recently intro duced a system of signalling that renders collision between trains almost impossible, except through the grossest carelessness of the employes, and their signal superintendent, Mr. Robert Stewart, has just perfected an invention which is at once ingeuious and beautifully simple, for the purpose of obvia ting any danger to trains from the misplace ment of switches or drawbridges. A number of prominent railroad men, members of the press,' and others, visited Trenton yesterday for the purpose of ex amining this invention in practical operation, and the unanimous verdict was that Mr. Stewart has perfected a very important and valuable contrivance, which must in a very short time be brought into use on every rail road in the United States. Like most great inventions, this is remarkable for its beauti ful simplicity, and it practically renders an accident from a misplaced switch or draw bridge an impossibility. It is intended that there shall be a signal station some distance on each side of a switch or drawbridge, which will be in full view by day and night of an approaching train. A telegraph will connect the switch with a little instrument in the signal-box, so that whenever the switch is moved the red signal of danger is dropped, warning the engineer to stop tiis train to find out what is the matter. . This instrument operates with the utmost certainty, and it is entirely out of the control of the switch-men or any other person. Other contrivances to accomplish the same object have been applied on some of the roads, but they are all open to the objection that they will not show the danger signal unless the switch itself is displaced. One of the great merits of Mr. Stewart's instrument is, that if a bolt is out, if the telegraph wire is cut, if the battery is not supplied with acid, or, in fact, if anything whatever is the matter with the switch or the instrument itself, the fact is immediately made known by the lowering of the danger signal, and the conductor of a train is obliged to stop and see what is the lufheulty before he can proceed. This inven tion is of even more importance as an attach ment to'urawbrulges, and it operates in ex actly the same manner as on a switch. If the bridge is no more than a quarter of an inch out ot its proper place, the fact is iimuedi ately telegraphed to the M-mul station aud warning given to the approaching train. It wilt easily be seen that such a con trivance as this does away with a prolific source ol danger on railroads, and nothing but me grossest carelessness on the part of an engineer can ever, cause an accident at a swiicu or urawunuge. me Instrument w biniple and inexpensive, and it leaves no ex cuse whatever for negligeuce on the part of tlie officers employes of a road. The patent right of this intention has been purchased from Mr. Stewart by General Joshua T. Owen and William J. rhiUipwfEsq., who will push its claims with energy. Mr. Thillips is well known as one of the most able telegraphers in the United State; and his indorsement of the invention is a guarantee of iU merits. A glance at the instrument itelf will convince any oue, however, of its great value, aud its perfect adaptability to the work it is called upon to perform.
