FRIDAY IfVltNINO, MAROU 20, 10U4. 1'reac hlng and l'rnctlcc. Mr. tVilllHin II. Vanderbilt fulls an eaay prey te tlin Interviewer, newndnyu, feeing seemingly In no way reluctant te ventilate lila opinions. lie has just given expression te an opinion which, though sound, is remarkable as coming from hlui. He says that no president of a railroad company should be president et a construction company organized te build It, He thinks this should be for fer for bldden by law, ami that any such double president should be made te pay back te the railroad company tlie profits he Iiiib made en the construction company. It would seem from this that Mr. Vanderbilt would held that net only the president, but all the officers and mana gore of a railroad cemvany should be forbidden te be president. elllcers and managers of the construction company organized te build It. The reason of the objection te having the same parties managing both the railroad aud the construction company being that the party paying should net be the same ns the party paid, the objection te having a common president of the two corpora tions applies with equal ferce te com. men managers. When the railroad com pany contracts with the construction company, and the construction company Is made up of the3e who manage the rail road company, it is clear that the rail read company Is very likely Indeed te pay liberal prices for construction. The ntockheldera et the railroad company, if there are any who are net in the con struction company, may reasonably ob ject te having their officers contract with themselves te build their read. And even though the railroad stockholders and the construction company stock holders are the same, as they usually are nowadays, the state and the public have a strong interest, which the laws Blieuld defend, in prohibiting the build, ing of railroads by construction compa nies that are in fact the railroad com panies The object of tills interjection of the construction company being sim ply te swell the stock aud bend account of the company, nnd te make it appear te cost a great deal while It is beiug built as cheaply as possible, It is obnex leus te public policy aud needs te be forbidden by law, as Mr. Vanderbilt eays; or rather as we would uuderatnnl him te say, but (or the fact that he is himself a chief offender in this state against the public justice he proclaims. He is the promoter and muiustay of the Southern Pennsylvania railroad, the contracts for building which are made by the American Construction company, which builds it en the beuds of the read, the stock being a bonus, or en the stock, With the beuds as a bonus, whichever "way jeu cheese te have it ; an equal amount of bends aud stock being issued, the one sort beiug paid for and the ether thrown in free. New Mr. Vanderbilt is engaged in the undertaking te capitalize this read ut surely twice its cost, and probably at a much greater proportion. This thing was condemned by Pennsylvania law ; and this particular read loudly demanded a new law enlarging its possible capita), under the asbertiuu that it could net be built under the limit in the old law, which wus $00,000 per mile iu stock aud $60,000 in bunds. The Legislature passed a law for Mr. Vanderbilt'a accommoda tion permittinKa capitalization of a half million dollars, we believe Governer Pattlseu said it was tee much aud refused hla signature until the amount w as re duced te $300,000 in bends aud stock. The loud protestations of the projectors of this read, made te the governor aud the Legislature, te aecuie litis increase of nominal capital, seem te have been as near te deliberate lying as the protesters well could get ; since they at once tlud themselvcsse flush of securities that they conclude te glve away their beuds te their Btoekhelderu. Mr. Vanderbilt should try te practise a little closer wh.it he preaches voters new thau they were when first ninrie eight years age. The second reason Is apprehension of n " vigorous," or "brll liant," or "daubing" and restless foreign pnliey, whleh uuder existing clraum Manecs would prebnbly lead te tindo tinde tindo Blrable foreign complication. Tlie third reason is an apparent want of Hympthy with administrative reform, which ha never received any hearty support from Mr. Blaine, which is, indeed, hostile te tlie school of politics in which he is held te bu a master, and which has been contempt tieusly assailed by his near friends. Te tin-se reasons may be added the fact that many et the Independent voters In New Yerk are friendly te rovenuoroform, while Mr. Blatue It a pronounced protectionist. Tin: New Yerk 2'ribune, which pro fesses te have its circulation among " the higher clnsses," and rolls up the whites efita eyes in frequent protestations of its journalistic decency aud political piety, Is pleased te make this gentle ob nervatien upon current affairs : " The name of Democracy Is a stench In the nostril. It is associated with all that is meatiest and most Infamous in Ameri can history. A man of sense might well glve five years of his life te get rid of a name that smells of defeat and d .- honor, of slave pens nnd Audersenude prison, of organized atsassl nation and vote stealing." The VVi'iieif is the hide-bound organ of a party which hns had almost uslim itecl control of the government for nearly a quarter of a century. Within that tirue ten fold mere meanness aud infamy have twen disclosed in public administration than in all the previous history of the country. During the four years of war the shining lights of the Ilepublican party were pillaging the public treasury, aud for ten years follow ing that vital struggle, all shames aud crimes were perpetrated under its pa tronage. Railroad rings, naval rinas, laud rings, war department rings, In dian rings, whisky rings, and a hun dred ether combinations stele everything in view, and traded iu every public in tcrest that came within their ontrel from the building of men of war te the erection of unknown soldiers' grave stones. And when the people rose in wrath te drive them out, they stele the presidency itself and made fraud trium pliant for the first time in the electoral college. During all this time except forene brief aberration ihe Tribmu was the apologist, the defender and the par ticipator in this infamy of its party. Its present outbreak is, therefore, net due te a short memory, but te the fact that a thief is Generally also a liar. Mt! Iliiivi'M rh'ium .. tin. iMwtem house, that his pink and white elephaut is worth two hundred thousand dollars. If there were an wl uilran duty en pink and white elephants Mr. Itanium might be tempted te undervalue his importation. But then if there were pink and white elephants In this country needing tarill protection from their for eign, contemporaries this annual weu d net b. such a rarity and ttie importation of it would be less frequeut even than new. Blaine's OJTenslrcnc&a That the se-called Independent ele ment in the Republican paity is any thing like a unit for Mr. Jllainu isby no means manifest. It has never been. Prlei te the assembling of Hie Republi can natieual convention in 1S70, he was unmistakably described by Mr. Schurz aud his associates us tlie kind of a man who was uet wanted. Iu ISS0 Mr. Barker, Mr. MacVeagh aud ethers, who felt their ideas were vindi cated in the choice of Mr Garfield, had the same antipathy te Blaine as they had te Grant and the politicians of hia ilk In tills part of the country it has been assumed that Mr. lllalne repre sented the Independent autl machine sentiment of his party, but that this idea is net concurred in generally is very plainly te be been In a recent editorial of Jaricr'8 Weekly, wherein Mr. Geerge William Curtis very plainly declares his opposition te lllalne, for reasons that wm airme every iiiir-nunued person as forcible and consistent from Mr. Curtis' point of view. Mr. Curtis finds a text In tlie recent very slgnlllcant declaration of ex-Gov. Claflln, that Ulatuu could net cany Mas sachusetts against the Democratic nomi nee. Jfarjicr'a Weekly regards this us a well founded view, and for Itself adds: "We presume that few well informed ltepubllcana suppose that he could carry New Yerk." An ticipating a chulleuge for reasons ' why it Is that the euu possible candl date whose name excited enthusiasm among his supporters, an unswerving Ilepublican, a man of brilliant parte, and personally charming and accom plished, of the most marked taste and talent for public affairs, of recognized political ability, and of long and varied public experience, should seem te be a nerleiisly objectleuablo candidate te the Iudependent voters "Harper's Weekly furnishes thorn in these causes why Mr. Dlalne would be a very vulnerable can didate : Tbo.e loasens, ns we understand thorn, are first, the character of the disclosures in 1870 regarding the railway transactions.

Aero." ene part ef the ledge the muddy water wnMiislmig wltfi a loice BUUieleiit locaiie the sack te rock te and fro. The scenery along this part of the Wis sahtcken is romantle lu the extreme. The ercelr, nariew and in some places deep, spins its serpoutine oeurso like a baud of yellow rtltueu Lpen eltner me are iiigu hills covered with pine trees and a thlek underbrush. Tlie stleuce Is as deep, the loneliness as impressive as if civilization were removed a thousand miles, instead of being scarcely a stone's threw away. Almest above the dim an ancient woolen briilge spans the stream, and across the read from the bridge are the ruins of Me gargee's paper mill, when the city acquired possession of that portion of tlie upper E ist Park. Tlie Wlssahtckeu drive skirts the western bank of the creek. Yeung Uoburtsen, his father aud his grandfather live in a small shanty perched at the feet of tlie hill above the ruins of the mill. When tlie boy saw the sack upon the ledge of took he did uet examlue its con tents, but ran ever te the shanty and told his father what he had seen. David Rob Rob erteon waded out abeve the dam and climbed ever the rocks te where the mys terious bundle was rocking backwards aud forwards in the curreut. The seam along one side of the bag had lipped partly open ami through the openiug was pro pre trudiug a human hand, discolored aud bruised and slightly decomposed. Herrllled at his diMJOverv, Robertsen dispatched hU seu te the sub -police station iu Cbcstuut Hill while he kept watch evor the sack. It was half past 7 o'clock when the boy reached the poiice sta sta Men. Officer "it lteu went back with htm te the dam, and in the meantime the lioiifce sert'eaut telegraphed te the Park Kuard heuse and te the coroner's office. Iu about au hour a guardsman aud the coroner's messeuger with a wagon reached the dam. Iu the preseuce of the officers the coroner's deputy cut open the bag. Iu it was found the headless, legless trunk of a matt. The arms had net been severed. Tlie right arm was folded, and the clench ed baud was folded across the breast. The left arm had apparently beeu foreed into a constrained position by the left i I , but the baud was opened te Us widuv ex tent, aud the lingers were bent as i' c'ut"h ingatthe threat of au enemy. Beth leg-a had been cut etl se close te the body and iu such manner as teeiTeatually remove auy suspi cion that the operation had becu per formed with the aid of a surgeeu'a kuife or saw. Although the skin was cleanly aud sharply incised, there were ovtdeuces of several cuts at d.tlereut angles, as when a butcher cleaves a j nut. The thigh bones had been fractured and uet sawed, and the bleed was clotted areuud the bone, showing that the blows had been sudden I and severe. The head had been cut off about an inch below thu ears, aud apparently iu the same way as the legs with an axe or like instiumeut The spinal column had been brokeu off by main strength. There was abundant proof that the corpse had been for seme days, if net weeks, iu tbe water. It had been put into the bag ai ordinary "gunny sack" neck foremost. The skin in places was dis colored upon the breast aud hands by the action et the water. Frem the appear auce aud proportions of tbe truuk it wis evident that it Lad belonged te a large, heavy set mail, uet less than e feet 10 inches high, aud who$e weight probably approximated 170 pounds. The hands aud arms are these of a laborer. Se long had the body been in the water that most of the cuticle was retted and had peeled oil', exposing the white under tbe skin, and giving the first impression that the corpse was net that of a laboring mau. The bat: and the conteuts were removed te the morgue, nud this morning Or. llui'lekoper,the coroner's physician, made a pest m jrtem examination. After wards the cermcr held an inquest. Who th-- mau was, or by what means be ctrue te his death, is a complete mystery, anil, as yet, tue poiice have been unable .e obtain the t-lighest olue which will aid them in unraveling it. There is but enu opinion, however, entertained in the absence of positive knewledge. It is thu general belief that the man was murdered, and, from many ciicumstances evidenced by the appearance of the corpse, it is con jeMured that the murderer killed Lis victim with an axe or hatchet. There is nothing te indicate hew long the sack had been in the water, it may have been a week or a mouth. If se long as a month, the fact that the body had bneu frezen up, either in or below the ice, would account fur thu excellent state of preservation in which it was when found. Ttiore is seme olue though it is ex tremuly vague as te the manuer lu whleh the body was disposed of. Abeve Uan. well's dam and within a distance of two miles, there are five dams. The first dam abeve is Thorp's dam, the uext Eaby's, aud the third Piper's. At Piper's dam there is a grist mill, The wall of this dam is net broken, while these belew are, aud se are these abevp, se that if the body had b.-uu placed iu the stream above, it oeuld uet, even during the frcshet, have been swept ever it and carried belew. It must, therefore, have been east in the water at a point belew Piper's dam aud within a dis tance of a mile aud a half of the dam upon which it was found. FrtxsD lleiienih the loe. The pehca are of the opinion that the body had been fre.en beueath the ice somewluro net far above llanwell's dam, aud the coroner's oflleoro say that it had beeu iu the water probably six weeks. Thore is no theory among them us te the identity of the corpse, nor is Itconjectured what may have become of the absent head and legs. Heme thluk they were also bagced ami are somewhuro iu the streain, while ethers believe that they were buried iu erder te avoid uuy possibility of identi fication. It is, hewever, rcgarded as llkely that the victim was a laborer employed upon the new line of the Pennsylvania railroad, new being built through Chestuut Hill aud whleh tuus within half a mile of the place whero the body was found Quarrels among theso laborers have been frequent.

Legislation had been in the direotieu of making the iiiaiiu factum of whisky iu this country a monopoly. He said this with no disrespect te gentlemen engaged iu the production of whisky, but he considered this monopoly adangeieus factor tn publie allaiis. If he could relieve the distilletH by the reptnl of tlie tax In tole or by a partial tepeal he would de se. What he leared from the pending measure was that it tended te make peimaueut the Internal revuuue system. He abherud the system and btoed against its continuance any longer than eon Id be helped, aud auy net of legislation likely te poriHHuate it he felt it his solemn duty te tesUt. lle regarded the bill as class legislation. Similar lea sons for relief might be urged by any ether buMncH, and if relief were right nud granted iu ene case, why net iu all ? Beheving tlie bill wrong iu principle, vicious iu practice, unwise in every re sited, he had steadily resisted eveu its discussion. Mr. MoAdeo (N. J ) aud Mr. Storm (N. Y ) also opposed the lull. Mr. Blackburn (Ivy.) in making tlie doting argument iu support of thu bill argued that in common justice and fair ness Ceugrctts should grant the relief asked for.
