XVENING BULLETIN.
Witarealwl December 19, 1867.
- 40UNSO111IAN IffirMiENCE.
The message which our wonderful Presi
dent-sent to Congress yesterday is, in some
respects, the most remarkable production of
the, Execntive mind yet voichsafed to„the
public. Knowing that Congress had called
forGenend Giant's - noble letter, which pro
notmces such a eulogy upon General Sheri
dan's administration of the Fifth Military Dis
trict, Mr. Johnson determines to: prepare
a counterblast. To this ,end,he composes a
piece en General Hancock, which he sends
to Congress. Many Intimations have already
been given that General Hancock went to New
•Orleans with minute instructions from the
President, and he was Probably furnished at
Wmithigton With the draft of the general
order, over which its author or instigator now
goes into such admirably feigned ecstacies.
"Nowhere in American history, short o
Washingtim himself, could the delighted
Johnsonlind a pandlel for the exalted virtues
which General Hancock has displayed in
assuming the command of his District. It
may, indeed, be doubted whether General
Washington -himself really presents to the
,Tresidential miturthe same perfect "example
.of the highest public virtue that human
nature is capable of producing." Mr.
Johnson ' admits that there inaz/ be
other °Meeks in the American army
who brie heen "Influenced by the example of
Washington," but he declares that the peer
less tancook is "the first °Dicer in high
command,GOuth of the Potomac, since the
elm of theseivirwar, who has given utter
ance to these noble sentiments in the form of
a military order."
This Message of Mr. Johnson is simply a
- piece' of 4ross impertinence to the whole
army, well di; to Congresii. It insults
General Hancock and every other army
officer by pronouncing fulsome panegyrics
upon a mere declaration of an intention to
perform an obvious duty, which every army
officer alwais holds himself ready to fulfil.
General Hancock can finrdly fail to resent
the pitiful insinuations which , the President
casts upon his whole profession, and to see
'-the predicament in which he has
placed him, by his impudent call upon
Congress to reward him ' for services to
'be rendered, which Congress has already re
cogaized, practically, as having been well
.donee every tommander south of the Po-
This whole prodociion is a miserable po
litical trick, of which General Hancock has
'Permitted himself to be made the tool. It is
intimated that Mr. Johnson has determined
to run General Hancock for the Presidency,
iuni it is easy to see that this manifesto *is
designed to operate in that direction. The
weakness and folly of the design is only a
new illustration of Mr. Johnson's blind igno
rance of the temper of the American people.
This contrast is presented to the public.
On the one hand, Andrew Johnson, stub
born, self-willed and arrogant, upholding
General Hancock because he believes that he
ins deunidned to reverse the whole policy of
the gallant Sheridan. On the other, General
Grant, earnest, brave, true and loyal, con-
fronting the Plenident with a whole-souled
support Of his faithful •subordinate, in lan
guage that will ring 111 the ears and thrill the
limits of the whole people.. In such a con-
Argot, General Hancock has chosen to place
himself, and we are sorry f o r it. Hie fine
military record has .made him ;honored and
esteemed by thousands of his countrymen,
who will turn away from him with painful
disappointment, as he comes before the
people as a politician manipulated by Andrew
Johnson. No man rdlve,is strong enough to
survive such, a position 'without serious dam
awe and loss. johnson has thrust him
before Congress in an attitude which is sim
ply ridiculous; has claimed for him a superi
ority which is an open insult to his whole
cloth, and has made it manifest to the world
that he has gone to Louisiana, not so much
40 execute thelaws of Congres.9 as to use his
;Mee for the support and encouragement of
the fatal and condemned policy of Andrew
Johnson. ;,;
The letter of Judge'Fitkin, which we pub
lish in another column,', shows how the ad
vent of General Hancock has operated upon
the, minds of the loyal inert of Louisiana.
Judge Pithin has beep. offered the office of
Secretary of State ; but he indignantly re
films it, because he will not be identified
with General Hancock's administration.
This is a seycre comment on the changed
condition of things, since , the name and pre
sence of Oikidrua was a tower of strength to
the Southernioyalists. • ,
Dining the present year there have been
rally' Lfrightful railroad accidents, in
wblch a large umber of persons were killed
sad 'wounded. The liana' number of minor
casualties Lave occurred, but the aggregate
loss of life, up to the first of. November, will
probably prove•tnnaller than upon any recent
retorlieg year. But; there is a singular
ointidence about railroad accidents, and

car. Since that time, the; papers have
chronieled,__._aintost' daily, 'lt railroaTh
accident in some part of the country, of a;
most heart-rending description , -The last of,
these occurred yesterday, near Buffalo, and
is sickening in the horror of its details.
Others'may be expected' now in the usual,
quantity, until the ghastly record of the
slaughter of human beings, by human inven
tions, is completed fer the year.
Is is customary to regard these series of
accidents 'which occur at different periods, as
beyond all control, governed by that Species
of fatalism which groups suicides,
wholesale murders, and other great
crimes ' together, and makes them ' ap
parently consequent upon each other.
It has always been man's disposition to attri
bute to Providence and chance, the results of
his own negligence and'folly;: as in the case
of the Orientals ' who fold their hands de
voutly amid thelllth of their plague-strieken
cities, and pray for the removal of a pesti
lence that could have been prevented with
shovels and carts. Doubtless there are rail
road accidents which would have declined
despite the most careful foresight and inge-.
nuity of men ; but the larger number can be
traced to criminal negligence of duty on the
part of officials whom custom has made
icareleSs. A 'evolution of feeling toward
such men is needed. The disposi
tion, now, is to overlook their
faults. Common humanity demands
that stern justice be meted out: to them, when
it is -Proved that, they have, by incomprehen
sible carelessness ' robbed their fellow-men Of
their lives. The future requires this, as Well
as the present. The time is coming when
railroads will bear the numerical proportion
of one to four or 'five, to those now in exist
ence. If casualties bear the same ratio, a
man who then voluntarily travels by steam
must possess the desperate courage of a sui
cide. The remedy is, to a large extent, in
our own hands, and it must be applied, un
less the devices of man for the comfort and
convenience of his race, are to become
simply devilish engines for his destruction.
.THE SAL QUESTION.
A strong effort will doubtless be made in
Councils, this afternoon, to push through the
resolution giving the city railway companies
the privilege of salting their tracks, just a
little—only fifteen bushels, of ; the saline ma
terial to the mile. The oleaginous member
of Select Councils, from the Twenty-second
Ward, will doubtless be ready and anxious
to urge the measure on salty "natant" prin
ciples; but the Majority of both chambers
will scarcely attempt to defy public opinion
by restoring the reign of an abomination
of which we are now happily rid. Some of
the railway companies have relied,upon the
experience of the past week to prove the
necessity of a return to the salt • nuisance.
There never was a greater mistake. The
dry, hard walking and driving upon the
frozen ground is an absolute treat, after en
during the terrible, sticky slush caused, by
the,use of salt last winter, and a return to
the old condition of 'things' voidd not
for a moment be tolerated by • the
public at large. "But," say the advocates
of salted tracks, "the railway companies
have been put to great inconvenience and
expense, and with all their • eflorts the rails
have been but partially, cleared." Of course
they have been put to great , inconvenience
and expense, and it Fes all anticipated when
their charters were granted, and when the
city railway law , required that they should
either clear their tracks or run sleighs. "Oh!
but sleighs would cost a heap 'of money."
Yea, sleighs would certainly cost something,
but we are satisfied that the saving to the
public at large in the way of .clothing, shoe
leather, carpets and horse-flesh, in • conse
quence gf the absence of salt since the single
snow storm of last week, will far exceed the
expense of providing every line in the city
with sufficient sleighs to carry all their pas
sengers.
But the experience growing out of the late
snow storm has proved conclusively that by
the application of the proper mechanical
means railway tracks can readily be clearee.;
not only of snow but of ice. The Thirteenth
and Fifteenth Streets Railway Company de
monstrated this fact in the most practical
way last week. One of Smith's new patent
snow ploughs was put to work upon the
track, and how effectively it operated can be
inferred from the fact that while other com
panies were running on promiscuous and un
certain time with four-horse teains, the Thir
teenth and Fifteenth streets line kept its ears
running on their regular time and
had no need of extra teams. , The
enterprise of the Thirteenth and
Fifteenth -streets concern, which is
neither the oldest nor the richest of the city
railway companies, should shame the other
companies that, failing to employ such
effective mechanical contrivances as are
available, go begging of Councils again to
afflict the citizens with the salt slush nul
-1
sauce. Councils eanrtot recede from the
position of resistance* to pickled railway
tracks. It then resolves itself into a question
of sleighs or snow ploughs. After the ex
perience of the •Thirteenth and Fifteenth
streets line, ploughs wi!l be apt to carry the
day.
Will not Chief Engineer McGusher do the
public the service of relieving it of the eye
sore which disfigure his office at Fifth
aid Chestut streets ? Mourning for the dead
is all right and proper ; but dilapidated
weeds are in themselves fresh sources of re
gret. Do, good., Mr. Chief Engineer Mc-
Cusker, take doWii. the, ragged _emblems of
mourning which diOgrace the City Hall; or,
if you think tbat the ilfccnes of your de
parted predecessor would be aggrieved be
cause the orthodox thirtXdays , had not yet
run out, do get some fresh, and less dismal
looking weeds.

(From the New York TiMeS of Today.) '
Day 1:_11 NES. el-- The Finance Report and Funding Bill of
Mr. Sherman, submitted to th e Senate yesterday, are not
received with much favor on the street-to-day. The Do
mestic Brokers in the Public Funds. and the Bankers in
Foreign Exchanges, regard the funding scheme es cora
plicated.• if not impracticable," , and, for the
meet part, uncalled for. The reasoning of the ac
compaaying report is subject to the graver ob
yection of seeming to bold out a menace to the 540 bond
holders, by way of inducing an early exchange into the
proposed Consolidated Debt—nee the menace of the
IGlovernment or mf Congress—but of the popular opinion
In the generate States which may hereafter ' create a
- pressure for taxing the Benda or in default of success in
that direction to pay ell the principal in Green

Sherman himself is. utterly* opposed to this last
alternative, and it may be that on a first hasty reading
his purpose in teeing se much prominence to the Pendia.

other points in this Report and Bill so entirely novel, not
to any extraordinary, that they will require all the time
of the coming Holiday" to enable the financial
public to arrive at anything like a fair conclu
sion as to their practical bearing. There. is
no disposition in this market , however, to pre-judge the

the Funded Debt, to the extent of Me whole two thousand
millions, to which tea ft will soon recede,into a uniform

is, Perhaps, to be regretted that it was not carried through
Congress when Proposed by Mr. Sherman himself 2 years
ago. But since that time funding has gone en rapidly In
the original b . :Worm, and now tbat we are closely ape
proachbg the end, and the proposition' to consolidate*
is made to embrace the extraneous questions of elate
taxation. Currency contraction or expander°, and of the
reimbursement of the principal of the original Bonds et

whether public opthion,any more than Congresais eo well
