svwndof the rear cars off and they went , bag” trialand subversive of the
/whirling'over an embankment, the wonder is to the object of th , would doubt
that-any one in them escaped with life. For- ; “ ds “ f g B^ ce ’ the fac ts made known to
innately the railroad management has even 1 less so decide w
kept in view the contingency of a breaking i them,
rail. The road is more thoroughly policed in
winter than during other seasons, and when a
train Is behind time conductors are cautioned
against trying to make up the loss, lest the
increased speed should produce a strain that
•would break a rail. The train on Friday
morning was, therefore, going at a moderate
speed, and the rail broke after four cars had
passed, the other four being thrown from the
track. Had the train been going rapidly,
the Angola calamity might have been re
peated. But as It was, the crush' of the over
turned cars was not so complete, and the
passengers, With the exception.of one haplosff
woman whoseems to have been killed out
right, escaped before the fire which con
sumed thecars could seriously have hurt any
of them. Under the circumstances, it can be
honestly said that the railroad company was
not to blame for this disaster. . _ v
But after all, ? it is worth while to inquire
whether tbierc cannot he additional precau
tions on our railroads, against breaking rails
-t-rui -ngahast the horrible burnings which
always follow the demolition of arpassengcr
car in cold weather when fires are lighted in
iron stoves. As for the rails, steel is coming
into iire on some of our roads. Will noi
steel tie better able to withstand frost than
irenff, ‘ If it will, ought not steel to be sub
-sututt'id as rapidly as possible, especially on
eurvos, and on embankments, where the
■crea test damage is likely to result when a
•irabtt is thrown from the track? At such
poi nts the beginning ought to be
meide of the substitution of steel rails
fbr iron. Then, as to the stoves
the cars. Can they not be dispensed
■with? Cannot some arrangement be made
for heating cars with steam or hot water ?
There have been various reports, at times, of
contrivances for this purpose, and it does not
seem to be impracticable; certainly it cannat
behalf so difficult as many of the inventions
of the day. On the continent of Europe, as a
late letter hom a Bulletin correspondent has
described, vessels-of hot water are supplied to
the passengers, by which they can warm
themselves, and these are replenished at stated
intervals. Such an arrangement, which is
the best yet devised for the. small compart
ments of European railway carriages,
ie not likely to be undertaken on
the lone American cars. But it
ba ß the great merit of being
a decided safeguard against being burned up,
se ow passengers are apt to be when an over
turn or a collision demolishes a red-hot stove
and scatters the live coals among them.
"W hoeyer contrives a plan by which our pe
•au-bariy constructed cars can be warmed
iaul heienfly by means of steam or hot water
.pip eB) w ill deserve to make a fortune. Most
»eo pie would be willing to pay extra fare for
the itake of traveling in cars thus heated.
Ri vilroad traveling, with all its latest im
provi tmente, is new business.
One generation has scarcely elapsed since
people* began to travel by steam over .iron
la jj 3 The contrivances for safety and com
fort ai ’e, therefore, those of a business
that is in its infancy. There is
room for improvement in many
wava, an <1 there can be no doubt that ere
another g enerationpasses, there will be many
improvem tuts. There are competing lines
of railroad in every direction, in this country,
.and' more axe springing up. Borne lines,
longeMhan their rivals, will only be able to
compete sue. tessfhlly by adopting improved
methods of making travelers comfortable and
safe. There iWO few people who would not
be willing to go by alonger route and pay a
hieher fare, for the sake of obtaining the best
irprovisien for thrir comfort and satety. There
will inevitably be * competition in .procuring
(gneb provision, and it is at least to the con
sfidenUy expected tjaaX .there will be less dan-
Berhereafter-than there is now, of people
being hurled over p rets pices by breaking

The Secretary of the Navy has ordered the
immediate cessation of work upon the new
Em frigate Colorado, now upon the stocks
at theßroeklyn Navy Yard. Tiie effect o
this order,.it not countermanded, will be to
throw out of employment between four hun
dred and five hundred workmen. There are
already many thousands of unemployed men
in the city of New York, and if the orders
of Secretary Welles are carried out, the aggre
gate of suffering will be increased. Economy
and retrenchment are very good things, but it
is not a wise or liberal economy in a great
government to discharge its working people
hi the middle of a hard winter, when business
generally is depressed and when there is
much unemployed work
men A wiser policy would be for the gov
ernment to aid in tiding the country over the
present commercial depression by furnishing
all the employment possible to working men.
An administration that is so lavish in pouring
from the treasury bung-hole the means fof
the purchase of uninhabitable ice-bergs and
shaky islandß of uncertain tenure, should not
commence the practice of economy by saving
the dribblings of the spigot that are so im
portant to hundreds of families.
The streets during the recent severe wea
ther have presented the usual scenes of cru
elty to poor over-worked horses. The ill
used animals, with shoes that are as smooth
as polished steel, go trembling over the ice
covered streets, and brutal drivers and
heartless owners compel them to drag heavy
burthens where they can hardly maintain a
foothold. There is scarcely any direction in
which the Society for preventing cruelties to
animals could turn its attention more pro
fitably than toward the winter treatment of
hard-working homes. A good first step
would be to procure the passage of a law re
quiring that all horses in use on the paved
streets should be rough-shod during the win
ter months.
Bailey & Co’s. Collection of Fine Pictures,

among collectors and connoisseurs.
A New York letter to a morning paper has
referred to the circumstance that the New
York merchants have agreed to reduce the
prices of silks from 25 to 50 cents per yard.
There is nothing remarkable in this. The
best Philadelphia dealers, whose advertise
ments may be found in our advertisement
columns, have made greater reductions than
.these, in silks as well as other commodities.
jUI S uch articles can be purchased cheaper
in Philadelphia than they can in New York.
The Bread-and-Butter Brigade meeting
laßt night passed some immense resolutions,
'" onfc of which is intended to-be laudatory of

Constitution, amid the clamors and denunci
ations of an overwhelming majority, drunk
with rage and thirsty for .power. ’ This
reference tothh msident’s famous Chicago
trip is ungenerous in the extreme. Mr.
Johnson will not thank his friends for this
reminder ofhis th iratihess.
A careful estimate of the losses by the late

Death of Rev. Isaac fcwwr*
The Rev. Isaac Looser, rabbi of, the prm£lp«*.
Portuguese Congregation in this city, died at his j
residence, in Walnut Jstreot, this morning. Mr. ■
Lceser was' horn in Westphalia, in 1800, and
came to the United States at the age of nineteen.
Ia 1829, he became rabbi of the Portuguese Syna
gogue in this city, and about twenty years ago,
owin-- to some difficulties, arising out of purely
temporal questions, be resigned his post, and
with a portion of tho Congregation organized a
second synagogue, according, to the Portuguese
rite,over whioh he has presided ever since. He
has long been distinguished as a theological
writer of much force>B*rW»=ftr many years
the editor of the Occident, a Jowish journftl ol
high reputation.. Among otiwv literary labors,
Mr. Lcescr published, in 1856, a translate
the Hebrew Scriptures. He was highly catccmci
among his people, both for his scholarly attain
ments and for Ills many personal good qualities.
His death will bo severely felt by the Jewish eo
munity in Philadelphia. \ „ ,
To Mr. Lecser’s untiring exertions the mic
tion of the various Jewish societies in this city is
principally due. The Jewish liducation feoeie y
and the Jewish Hospital were especially his oil
spring, while all of them, now twenty or moie.in
number were largely indebted to his
the time of his death he was the oldest officiating
clergyman of auy religious body in this city.

represented that during the pastfisca. >ear,

in those districts where Mr. Johnsous followers
were provided for, the dosses averaged
*47,000 per district; in other words, that
Mr Rollins's men stole nearly three times
as mnch as Mr. Johnson’s. From beginning to
end there is not one word of truth in the state
ment. The .Secretary of the Treasury neither
prepared, nor caused to be prepared, the docu
ment in ((ucstion, and knows nothing whatever
about it. Mr. Rollinß did not suggest a dozen
changes in the Department, and the removals
were made, in most cases, against Ins express,
wishes. The paper was drawn
„p at the instigation of the
President, by a clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment, and was intended as a means of escanpefrom
the odium of having placed the public flow m
the hands of a gang of thieves. It is ctafged in
official circles that the document came from the
White House; that Mr. Johnson authorized its
concoction and publication, and that tlie whole
transaction is of a piece with the Grant assault—
an untrue, cowardly attack upon a faitbful
officer.

Di:rARTME>’T or State,
W\mh.v<.ton, Januorv 28. 1867. —It is to be
hoped that the bill which, it is underetood, has
been introduced into the Senate, prohibiting _thc
appointment of special agents and terminating
the functions of such agents as may now boi em
ployed, is not Intended to apply to agents ot
that character in connection with foreign affairs.
If it were to embrace them it would
not only create great embarrassment m the man-
of those affairs, but would often make
the transaction of important public business im
practicable. Special agents for foreign affairs j
havo been more or less employed by c\ery,
administration from that of Washington to Uie
pre stint time. Washington himself sent Gover
ncur Morris to London as a special agent. The
occasion for such agents cannot be anticipated
they often depend upon emergencies which may
6nddenly arise, and require an appointment not
onlv prompt, but one where the fact of the
appointment and the name of the person ap
pointed must not, if success is to be expected,
fipedal'agcnm in connection with foreign af
faire are usually regarded as officers, under the
law of nations. They are employed by al- gov
ernments. Though not expressly authorized by
any act of Congress, their employment has always
been indirectly sanctioned. Frotn the formation
Of the government there has been an annual ap
propriation for the <*>»tingent expenses of I foreign
intercourse, from which appropriations the com
pensation and expenses of such.agcnte arc paid,
without, it is believed, material objection, there
ia special legislation by Congress upon the sub
ject of the accounts for this appropriation, evi

treaties of the United States have been concluded
by special agents, and could not easily have been

Mr. Phelps, of Competine township, has just

and shocking affair that ever occurred m this
seems that the house of Mr. Howdy shell,
near Capt Mcßevnolds’, in Competine township,
being a storv and a half frame building, caught
fire on Tuesday morning last, just before day,
from, as it is supposed, some ashes that had been
carelessly left in ashed part of the building. Mr.
H. was not at home, but the house was oeetipied
at the time by Mrs. H. and her family, besides a
young ladv ot some eighteen or twenty, aoi ster
of Mr. H/s, named Carrie HowdyshcU. .
The house was enveloped with flames before it»
inmates were aroused. Mrs. JjL escaped, badly
burned, with two children, while the young Itoy
aDd two of the children, aged respectively five
and three, perished in the flames. The noble girl
lost her lifein her heroic efforts to save the chil-
bodies were finally recovered from the
rains, the children literally burnt to an unrecog
nizable mass, while the young lady had both of
her lower limbs burnt off above the knees, and
had one of her arms pulled out of the socket in
