To the Patrons of the "Globe."
Our patrons will notice-by reference
to heads of first and second pages
hereafter, that Mr. Huoii LINDSAY will
be associated with us in the publishing
as well as the editorial department of
the "Globe." Having served under us
as an apprentice, foreman, and associ
ate editor, Mr. LINDSAY is no stranger
in the office, and any businees entrust
ed to his care will he properly attended
to.
We have published the Globe twenty
one years, and we feel that it is our
duty at our ago to impose upon a
worthy young man a part of the care
and responsibilities necessary to con
duct successfully a public, independent,
loyal journal. The political character
of the Globe will at all times speak for
itself. ff wo fail to please politicians
and mere party Mon, it will be because
we may not, be able to think as they
do, or will not agree to hide the ras
calities or short comings of politicians
and party organizations. Ho is only
a freeman who will speak his honest
convictions and oppose corruption and
other wrongs inflicted upon parties
and thdpeople.
We hope to deserve and receive the
support of an honost and independent
people. All parties have suffered
most from a hasty willingness on the
part of the party press to endorse the
action of leaders. Had the Democrat
ic press made public their honest sen
timent when the South rebelled, party
leaders would have changed their
course, and the old organization would
to-day be respected. If the Republi
can press continue to endorse or wink
at the propositions of the extreme
Radicals, the day will soon come when
the party will also be in the minority
in most of the States in the Union.
Legislators Picking the Pockets of
the Taxpayers.
The members of the House of Rep
resentatives of this State, on Friday
last, voted themselves a salary of
thirteen hundred and fifty dollars for
the present session of an hundred days.
When the members were before the
people for nomination and election,
they agreed to accept the honor at
the salary of ono thousand dollars, the
amount agreed upon by a previou s
legislature. Because the members
have the power to raise their own
wages, it does not follow that the act
is any more honest than picking the
pockets of the tax-payers without
their consent. We hope the Governor
will veto the bill if it should pass the
Senate. A contract with the people
should stand.
President Johnson is said to be

ate, after his term ai3 Chief Executive
expires. If ho over should get back to
that position we have no doubt his
pertinacity would enable him to be
heard. Accepting that position, how
ever, should not give cause to the
belief that ho was trying to live
his eventful life over again, and that
ho would turn up, after many revolu
tions, as a magistrate or constable in
some insignificant town in Tennessee.
We rather believe his oft repeated ex
pression, that the height of his ambi
tion has been reached, and we have
doubts of the rumor that he wants the
Senatorship.
,The following dispatch dated N.
Y., March 27, was sent to the Senate
by Thomas C. Durant, Vice President
of the Union Pacific Railroad :
Work has been suspended on the
Union Pacific Railroad west of Omaha.
The extreme cold weather and snow
prevents the laying of the track, but
we were never doing more in accumu
lating material and getting it to the
end of the track. We have now on
hand the iron and ties for one hundred
and fifty miles, and I will pledge my-
self to complete two miles a day for
the first one hundred working days
after the frost is out of the ground.
Any investigation can only result to
our credit, for we have built more road
in a given time than was ever done
before,and propose accomplishing more
this year. We are not asking any leg
islation.
vs-a_ln addition to the throngs of
prominent office-seekers now in Wash
ington, there are hundreds of the less
pretentious class, including unmarried
women, widows, and ex-soldiers, from
all parts of the country. These impor
tune for place in the Treasury and
other Departments, and also in the
public printing office. As there are no
vacancies, and as the force at the lat
t .r establishment is being reduced for
the lack of work, many of these stran
gers being without friends, are reduced
to the necessity of soliciting private
charity that they may return to their
homes.
ADJOURNED.—Both Houses of Con
gress adjourned on Saturday last until
the first Wednesday of July
Before adjournment Senator Sumner
gave notice that on that day he would
call up the bill for univerAa! suffrage
throughout the United States. The
President has called an extra session
of thd Senate.

The New License Law.
The new License Law which we
published last week has very little in
it, which will commend itself to the
temperance men of the Stale, or at
least to those who desire to see the
evils of intemperance abolished to a
greater extent. The first section is the
same ill FilbAaliCO as the original law;
so it leaves it optional with the tem
perance men to take advantage of it or
not, just: as before. The trouble still
exists to ascertain which houses are ne
cessary for the accommodation of the
public and entertainment of strangers
and travelers, and which are not. The
new tavern-keeper alleges, with rea
son, that, lie has as much right to sell
liquor as his predecessor, providing ho
has the requisite number of beds, etc;
and if temperance men should remon
strate against him, lie would offer this
plea; and, as has been the case in our
own Court, lie would have hisiicense
--STEPHEN
Temperance men dread to 'encoun
ter the odium of the tavern keeper,
when they remonstrate against him in
particular, and do not against the oth
ers. For this reason the advocates of
temperance have refused to remon
strate in this and other localities, and
the number of tavern keepers Las in
creased rather than diminished. Wo
think this difficulty could be obviated
by limiting the number of licensed ho
tels in any place to the proportion of
inhabitants or itinerant travel: One
thing is certain—so long as hotels ex
ist in a place, just so long will thoy ap
ply for a license to sell liquor, no mat
ter how many there may be, or no
matter how many may be added. This
will be the ease so long as the number
is unlimited as it is at present, or un
til a prohibitory law is passed.
The second section of the law, which
applies to eating houses, is a little bet
tor than it was before. The change
consists in having the keepers of the
same to make application for license
in like manner as keepers of hotels,
with the exception that it is not re
quired that they should have the beds
and bed-rooms; also that County Trea
surers do not grant their license. The
same regulation in regard to limitation
of the number, which we made above,
would apply to them. It is equally
certain that if ono man gots a license,
another will want one also. But if the
number in the town is restricted by
legislative enactment, then applicants
can have no reason to expect a grant
ing of their license; and thus the com
munity would be saved from an accu
mulation of these houses.
Some may allege that there will be
very little good accomplished by this
system which we propose. It is true
that it would do little in lessening
the chances for men to get liquor, who
will have it if they ran, but it would
prevent others from following the
business who otherwise would ; and
would, as we have said, prevent an ac
cumulation of the same in the locality.
It is the number of bar rooms in a place
which bring it into disrepute, and by
the number is judged its ability to sus
tain them. Each additional bar-room

Ong as the law admits of an increase,
ust so long will the snares be angmcn
ed, and also the evils of intemperance.
The Lindel hotel, in St. Louis, the
largest building of its kind on this
continent, if not In the world, was to
tally destroyed by fire on the night of
the 30th. The fire broke out in ono
of the west front rooms in the fifth
story. There were about four hundred
guests in the hotel, who lost most of
their personal effects. The total loss
by the disaster will scarcely be less
than $1,000,000. It is not known how
the fire originated.

The President sent to the Senate in
Executive Session, on'" Saturday, a
treaty with Russia, by which that
power surrenders to the United States
sovereignty ovcr all Russian America

miles long which extends down the
coast, thus nearly excluding British
America from the ocean. The price to
be paid for this territory is about
$7,000,000. As it is necessary that
the treaty will have to be ratified by
the Senate, the President called an
extra session of that body on Monday
the first of April.

Accident on the Erie Railroad.
The express train of the Erio rail
way which started from Buffalo at
twenty minutes past two o'clock yes
terday afternoon, and was due here
at seven o'clock this morning, met
with a serious accident at two o'clock
this morning near Vast 'Hope, on the
Deloware division of the rmtd, about
a hundred miles from Now York.
Trackmen,were, previous to the time
of the accident, endeavoring to replace
a broken rail ; and when the train was
expected a flagman was sent out to
stop it.
The engineer, named George El
wood, and the fireman were both on
the lookout, but the night was dark,
and they did not see the signal.
The result was, that the engine,
which, according to the statement of
one of the persons employed on the
train, was running at the rate of from
thirty-five to forty miles an how•, went
at full speed upon the bare ties, break
ing the trucks and causing tbrriblo in—
jury to the train.
There were nine cars in all. Three
express freight ears fbllowed the ten
der ; then a baggage car, a postal car,
a smoking car, and three passenger
cars, of which two were sleeping cars.
Six of these ears—the express, bag
gage, postal and smoking cars—were
all more or less broken up, but none of
the persons on them were killed. Some
were considerably braised.
The engineer, nr. : Elwood, lost his
life and the fireman was scalded, but
will recover.
The fact that the passengers escaped
with se little injury is considered very
remarkable.
A new train was made up at Deposit,
and the passengers, &c, brought to

The Cattle Epidemic in New Jersey.
The farmers and owners of cattle in
New Jersey have recently been seri
ously alarmed at the simultan MINS ap
pearance in various parts of the State
of a new disease among their horses
and mules. The disease has, in a few
cases which have up to the present,
time occurred, invariably proved fatal,
and although the symptoms are not in
all instances identical, they are suffi
ciently alike in their general character
to warrant the belief that they are the
beginning of an epidemic, which may
possibly create as much loss among the
cattle of this section of the country as
the well known ninderpest has already
caused in Europe. It is admitted by
all the past year, and more especially
the extraordinary winter which is now
closing, has been extremely unfavora
ble to the health of either man or
beast, and there is a reasonable basis
for the fear that the unusual physical
conditions under which we have been
placed, may have produced effects
which, although they have hitherto re
mained dormant, may shortly become
only too clearly apparent. For sonic
time complaints have been made in
nearly every county in the State of
New Jersey, to the, effect that an unu
sual amount of sickness was prevailin: ,
among horses; and, in fact, livO stocrc.
generally. One of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases which attack horses
—lung fever—has lately been extreme
ly destructive, while every other mal
ady with which they are at any time
visited has existed with more or less
intensity. A number of deaths have,
however, occurred in which the precise
nature of the disc. - Ise is unknown ;
though many of the symptoms are sim•
liar to those which in human beings
characterize typhoid fever.
AGRICULTURAL.—The Monthly Re

Of all the Middle and Eastern States
Vermont was highest, going up to 20

EDITORS.--lienjamin Franklin has
the credit of saying that "the best edi
tor is scissors; ,, by which he probably
meant that the editor who recognizes
the fact of there being in the world
many good writers beside himself, and
avails himself of the good things they
have written, will make the most in
teresting and acceptable newspaper.
Men who know most about making
newspapers do not estimate au editor's
labors by the number of columns he
writes, but by the general complete
ness and finish of his paper . as a whole.
The following paragraph, written by
an Englishman of largo experience,
contains the gist of the whole matter:
A good editor, or competent news
paper conductor, is like a general or a
poet—born, not made. .Exercise and
experience give facility, but the quail
tiemion is inmate, or it is needy mani
fested. On the ].tendon daily papers
all the great historians, novelists,poets,
essayists and writers of travels have
been tried, and nearly every one has
failed. A good editor seldom writes
much for his paper; he roads, judges,
selects, dictates, alters and combines;
and, after doing all well, he has but
little time for composition. To write
for a paper is one thing—to edit a pa
per is another.

When Does the Day Begin ?
The .S'efentific American says :—As
we travel eastward the day begins ear
lier ; near the equatpr starlight appears
an hour earlier fin• each thousand miles
going east. When it is sunrise in New
York, the people of Europe have had
sunlight for many hours, and the Cali•
fornians arc still in their beds dream
ing. Evidently the day has a dist be•
ginning, and at the hastward. But
how far and where? What aro the
people who first see the light of Hon
day morning? It is the sun which
brings the day; where does Ile, first
bring Monday ? If we could travel
with him we 'night, find out. Let us
suppose the case. We will take an
early start; at sunrise' on Sunday ,
morning, with the sun just at the point
of peeping over, the horizon behind us,
we travel westward. As we go, the
people give us a Sunday greeting; we
bring Sunday with us to Pittsburg, St.
Louis, Salt hake,. San Francisco. At
San Francisco our faithful chronome.
ter informs us that we have been on
the tramp about five hours. But we
started 011 Sur.day morning and it is
Sunday morning still. We go on, still
on Sunday morning. Will this Sunday
morning ever end ? The quiet Pacific
knows very little. of Sunday or any
other• day, and our question setu•cely
receives an echo for reply. When \vo

A Feminine Phenomenon,
The New York Evening Gazette
says: A trustworthy gentleman gives
us an account of an extraordinary ill
ness of a young woman, a Hiss Winsor,
in Providence, Rhode Island.—Miss
W. had been confined to her bed for
several mouths, and had not partaken
of sufficient nourishment to keep her
alive if she had not been in a normal
condition. Yet her Ilteulties have be
come strangely acute, and she seems
to be endowed with a species of second
sight. When the physician, Dr. Ira
Barrow, calls on her, she can tell the
nuMber of visits ho has made, the
number of the hodses of his patients,
and describe accurately their com
plaints.
The clock having been removed
from her chamber, she was enabled
to determine at any hour the .exact
time of clay or nights, and she would
describe the color, size and marks of
the doctor's horse, and the hue and
the texture of the lining of his car
riage. She composed a poem which
she called the "Sea Serpent," ono halt
of each lino in Latin and the rest in
English, which was pronounced by
the professors of Brown Univority
pure Latin, although she had never
the least instruction in the language.
She also draws finely without having
taken lessons, and does other extraor
dinary things not to be accounted for
by any atilt; known laws of tempera
ment, medicine. or science. While
asleep, her right arm is constantly in
motion, though it is perfectly powerless
when she is awake. A number of the
physicians and sevens of Providence
are deeply interested in the case of
Miss Winsor, and are endeavoring to
solve the mystery of her seeming su
pernatural powers.
following admirable anec
dote is from Breslan, and is of recent
date. Not long since an elderly man
with bare head stood in an eating

around mocked and jeered him. Just
then a poorly-dressed Jew, with a long
white board, entered, and inquired
what it all meant, and with an expres
sion of almost feminine curiosity. He
was told that the man had eaten and
drunk, and now that he must pay he
searched his pockets in vain for money.

three feet in diameter, which fell across
both legs. A fierce storm was pro

night the sufferer madly shrieked for
assistance, only to be answered by the
mocking winds that howled through
the surrounding ihrest. The next
morning the sufferer perceived his axe

his heart. Lying prostrate on his back,
lie commenced the weary task of chop

of the axe the huge tree bottled upon
his limbs, crushing them almost to a
jolly, but still he persevered, and after
two days of rthremitted toil his task
was accomplished. 31angled and

both legs were amputated. Incredible
