WE are glad to learn that Goy. Geary,
'triune illness had assumed, a day or two
since, a very menacing type, is r now so
much better that his recovery is no lqnger
considered doubtful.
WE announce this morning the joint
standing committees of the City Councils.
Being acquainted with a majority of the
gentlemen appolnted,we can safely say that
the Presidents of Councile used clear judg
ment and care in the making - up of the va
rious committees.
LARGE payments are made this month
from the TreasurY, in the way of interest,
more than absorbing the current excess of
receipts over the ordinary eipenditures.
The next monthly statement will, therefore,
show a marked increase in the net balance
of the public indebtedness, which the
months to follow will speedily work off
again.
CONGRESS should have credit for its good I
works when done. The SUE MURFET claim
was virtually defeated in the Senate on
Friday, while the House, on the same day,
dismissed the twelve million job, known
as the Niagara . Ship Canal bill, from any
further consideration at this session. We
hope to see the same disposal made of
all the rest of the long catalogue of "grabs"
which the lobby are trying to push into leg.
islation.
No MATTER what the solution of the dlf
ficult 4i:wallow - ill her Internal polity, Spain,
whether monarchical or republican, despotic
or progressively enlightened, will never
yield her hold upon Cuba. That is the one
point upon which Carlists' and Moderados,
Bourbon and Democrat, sire equally agreed.
DuLon understands this and sends home for
more 'troops, to put down the insurgents.
He will get them, 'and in due time will prove
to the world that Cuba is to follow the for
tunes of -Spain, loyally and no matter
whither: .
TrrE Hermit BILL repealing the, Office•
Tenure-Act will riot pass the Senate in its
present shape. The law as it stands may
be amended by excluding Cabinet oftleers
, from its prerisions—wherein Congress will
return to the original draft of the - law itself
—but no, other change is probable; in the
prenent,tefrnPer cf the Senate. Apropos to
this situation, we quote and , adopt the re.
mark of' the New York Trat;ne:
•Believing se we do that the principle of
the act Is wise, we hope to, see - at least its'
essential •featuies retained:on the statute
book, and thetefore trust that the disposi
tion of the Senate is 'correctly reported."

Its otru Loom, coLumns to-day we pub
lish the full testimony adduced by Coroner
Clawson in his searching examination into
the cause of the recent terrible iccident on
the Panhandle road, together with the ver
dict of the jury. We are clearly of the
opinion that the accident was one which no
human foresight could have prevented, and
resulted from causes over which the mana
gers of the road had no control. A shOrt
time ago we took occasion to express feel•
ings of distrust in the management of that
road, based ,on a frequency of acculente;
but the managers were prompt in effecting
reform, discontinuing trains to' their own
1 . pecuniary loss and inconvenience in order
to , insure the-greater safety of passengers,
and Once we behove the Panhandle to be as
secure as any other route inviting the pa
tronage of travelers. The late terrible acct.
dent, not being the result of , either negli
germs or want of knowledge as to the con.
dition of the track on the part of those
charged with , the management, but clearly
,attribntable to the wintry weather, should
not weaken the confidence which their
efforts had revived.
RAILWAY MAYTE.RS
It is reported t h at the Erie clique, whose
filibustering upon the C. and P. stock made
a recent sensation,' have also secured the
control of the "Cross Cut" road, from Buf
falo to the oil-regions.
There is really very little cause for any
apprehensions that this railroad-snatching
genie will be 'suctessfaily , played upon the
yolit Wayne Company, which holds its an
midi meeting on the third Monday of Mateh.
But, two or three, out of the twenty-four'
millions of this'Company's stock and bonds
-•either of which qualifies the holder to
vote—are accessible .to these filibusters
through the ordinary channels of the stock
market. At least eighty pet cent: of the
total capital ia held, in f blocas, out of the
market, for a permanent investment, so that"
no peril can come from that direction
through a temporary, change of. ownership.
Nor, in view of recent events, are the hold,
ders likely to disregard the fair warning
against the probable SbUse'of proxies,' en—
trusted to improper hands by such as.may
be unable to give their personal attendance
'at the next meeting. Friends of the gort
Wayne feel very reasonably confident that
forewarned they are amply foreatined
against any repetition of , the C. & P. pro
gramme. Other companies will do equally
well to heed the lessons, of that experience..
THE ALABAMA TREATY SIGNED.
From London, it is' telegraphed, that the
treaty for .the settlement of the Alabama
claims has at last been perfected and signed
by the diplomatists of both nations, "on the
basis of the original protocol." Thisstate
ment can scarcely be altogether / accurate,
since it is known that our Minister had been
expressly instructed to insist neon certain
amendments to the first understanding, and"
that the English government assented; to
these alterations. It is probable that these
amendments were not regarded, on either
side of. the Atlantic, as affecting the essen
tial principles involved, and that their actual
incorporation in the completed treaty does
not discredit the substantial accuracy of the
later report.
We shall soon have the full text of the
treaty as finally settled atlondon last iveek..--
It will, at the latest, come to hand by the
regular mails, in all of next week, while
possibly the Cable may be used to transmit
the entire document at once. Having here
tofore explained our' own views, upon the_
merits of the various issues which have been
evolved while the whole question has been
pending, the GAzzrrit need only, now re
affirm its -sincere confidence that a large
progress has been made toward ffie adjust
ment of this interesting ,controversy, and
that the treaty just signed will substantially
merit the satisfaction of our Renate and the
approval of the country'. If modified in ,
any of its detalls, we believe that its'essen
tial features w* I remain unaltered.
THE SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.
The Republicans of the New York Legis
lature nominate Ex-Gov. FENTON for the
Senatorial seat which Mr. MORGAN holds
until March next. The vote in caucus-52
to 40—was a decisive one against the re
mominatiou ofilenator Monoart, who may
thank his gratuitous opposition to the - aspi
rations of his competitor in the National
Convention at Chicago, for this defeat of
his otherwise very , strong claims upon a.
re-election. Of Cs= Bosun, it is declared
by-his opponents in Missouri that he has not
been nine years a voter, as constitutionally
requisite for a seat in the Senate. ' But this
is altogether false ; he took his . "ifnal pa
pers" in Wisconsin in 1857.
Our own Legislature will elect Hon.
Joan Scorr, to-morrow, to succeed Mr.
Bucsst,zw. Su m as in Missouri, Rats=
in Minnesota, and FENTON in New. York,
will also go through without difficulty.
And we see no'reason to doubt the election
of Com - nsesc, the Republican choice of Inds
ana, although a strong' push is in i progreis,
in disaffected but limited quarters, to defeat
him. The Maine Republicans are so evenly
balanced between Esivwx and Moitaux
as to i reniier a long conteat,likely, but its re-
eltwisl.prollably favor, •
There are some of biti readers tchii did

WIIO.OWNS 1112 RIVER .e '
The House Committee talks of amending
the bhio River bridge bill; froM the Senate, by
agreeing on four -hundred feet spew and re
porting a general law on that basis. As a
cc h nprom b l e, thle t conclusion is most illusory-
Practically, a triumph for the railway inter
est, this width of span does' not afford that
freedom of ,navigation which our river-me 4.
are entitled to. Ailything less than live
hundred feet will impose such practical res
trictions upon that Method of car` riage as to
entail a considerable increase of cost upon
river freights, ,to' f 'i s ay nothing of the en
luinced petit to. life. The merits of this
question hive been heretofore thoroughly
discussed. , We need not revive that discus
sion, no more than we should doubt that all
intelligent and disinterested peoPle have
been amply convinced than a span of five
hundred feet,' small enough in itself, is the
minimum for the safety of floating property
and life.
As - to any conflict of interests, Congress
has no call to go behind the paramount
rights of the entire Community in the free—
and, because free, not to be obstructed—use
of all navigable streams. The river is the
highvray_of nature for the use of all men
rdike;:the Poorest may enjoy its priilleka
vilth,as good a title, and equally according
to their means, with the wealthiest. Wheth
er its current bears the rude ark of the farmer
emigrating to a distant State, the flotilla
which conveys to far off rcgions thespro
ducts of our soil or 'of our workshops, or
the splendid and costly vessels which are
freighted with luxury and opulence, there
exists nowhere the constitutional right to
obstruct the natural freedom of its use, with
perils of this sort which are far greater than
-any 'which nature has interposed. Fore
sight, prudence and diligence will escape
the latter, but ,the piles of masonry which
may closely dot the river-betUrimt shore t 6
shore threaten too often a destrncllon which
no prudence or care may *safely challenge.
A public right, common to all citizens
'under the Constitution, is th e view of all
public law, is sought to be 'abridged for
the advar:osge of a special'interest. We
are all willing to concede that th4klatter has•
merit, but we do not grant its claims. The
restriction to five hundred feet is the extreme
limit . of safety for our concession; as a rail
way spanlit is entirely practicable, and noth
ing leis °tight to be asked for if Congress
shall restrict that limit still more, an irre
parable damage will be thereby inflicted
upon the • public righti of this and future
generations.
VIRGINIAN DICTATION.
It is said that . Virginia will accept a Cori.
stittitiiin ensuring impartial suffrage. But
it is also known that this acceptance must
couple with it, for their satisfaction, an uni
versal amnesty. We have seen reports that
such a proposition has been made to Con
gress by leading ex-rebels of that State, and
that the Idea finds favor with members.
Nevertheless, no one 'need doubt that
Virginia will, accept', the same suffrage with
out the amnesty. She will do just whether'
sister States of the rebel South have dOne,—
provided she finds no better terrnsare to be
hid. It is smart, but "cheeky," in her poli
ticians to make' their piesent demand, but
neither smart nor creditable in those
Republicans who Incline to agree to the
amended condition& We: have looked
at the situation carefully, bat fail to
discoier a single valid reason why Vir
,
ginia should ask or receive terms better
,than were granted to the Carolinas or
Louisiana. In truth, the inflnence,of Vir
ginia was paramount for mischief among
all the seceding States in the outbreak of the
'rebellion. •To Virginian principles and poll
ticking May be traced back,with a singularly .:
undeviating accuracy, the fatal path which
led a third part of the Republic from their
loyal allegiance down through treason and
rebellion to an abyss of dishbnor and disas
ter. We would not visit severer penalties
upon this influential' , ,State, but we would
thank her present friends to tell tin wherein
she should now ask for exemption, from any
of those consequences which have been
justly visited upon the lesser States—States
that may frankly lay much of their own
criminality at the door of the Old Dominion.
The reconstruction which , eight of the
penitents have accepted is good enough for
still recusant three. Time enough to
ameliorate the stern but jist conditions ,
with which the mercy of the Republic has
been tempered for, all of them, when it shall
be asked for bi way of appeal to our mercy,
and not demanded as the rightful condition
precedent of a still arrogant self assertion!!
.Time enough to grant better terms when
the last rebel has conceded oniabsplute right
to impcse any! • Thin enough . -to be con
siderate for Virginia, when Georgia and
Lpuislana, to say nothing 'of Texas or
Mississippi, have submitted themselves in
hearty good faith! Then it will be time
enough to ease off the strong hand
of, power, from all the populations
which bring satisfactory evidence of their ,
conversion to a loyal `republicanism. .Then
it will be time, when the loyalty, which has
never yet flinched from its love for the Union,
no matter how dark the hour, shall come to
hold up omi hands in a generous forbear
ance; when in this work we shall have the
sustaining counsel of our alwaystrue friends,
and not the Insidious advice of a generation
of traitors who have illustrated nothing
but their hereditary Jealousy of Federal
power. At present, only these • have been
heara from; not,a sound comes to our Cara,
fromtloysl tongues throughout the South to "
second the ex rebel appeal, to the generosity.

Largest Cast Iron Rolls In the World.
On Tuesday I visited the Phcenix Works,
Mil Melds, Billiton, for the purpose of wit
nessing the process of casting the second of
a pair of leviathan rolls, for> rolling the in
creased size of armor plates at Sir John
Brown's woiks, Sheffield. It may be well
to state, by way : of ,preface, that hitherto a
roll of ten tons in weight has been deerned
prodigious; and ;when, some years ago,
Messrs. Claridge & Co., prOncect a pair
weighing thirteen tons, for a foreign copper
mill, the event was regarded as.quite an era
in the history of the trade. The largest plate
mill in. America cannot boast a roll of more
than eleven tons, although, in the Western
World everything is 'done on so large a
,scale. Some idea, then, of the pair of rolls
now being produced at the - Phoenix Foun
dry may be gleaned from the fact that in
•extreme length they are/ 'fifteen feet six
inches, in diameter nearly three feet, and in
weight 'ghteen tons, or thirty-six tons the .
pair.
The rocess of casting„the roll .on Tues

day oc pied four furnaces,- each connected
by a channel in sand, called-by the work
people a ."runner." The largest of these
furnaces was tapped. at 2:35, and a stream
of molten iron, liquid as water,•come hiss
ing on its fiery way, and after a rapid-flow
of forty feet emptied itself into a huge iron
mould—which at 2:50 was filled to the brim
with the seething This mould was i
then hoisted by a powerful crane, some slit
or eight feet, 'and , then tilted so as to dis
charge its contents into a second channel, .
in connection with two, similar "runners"
proceeding from the other furnaces.
By this time the smaller furnaces had
been tapped, and now three rivers of fire
were bounding to' mingle their tributary
streams into one vast channel in the direc
tion of the monster. mould •in which the
mass of iron was, to shape itself and cool.
Thia_mould, seventeen feet deep. was at
2:38 full bathe brim, and the work was suc
cessfully completed amid a loud and general
"Hurrah"' from the 'anxious and excited
throng of work people who had crowded to
see the "finish" of a roll-casting unequalled
for dimension in the whole world.

gentleman, whose information is, no doubt,
authentic, communicates .the c urious fact
that Charles Anderson, who was recently
lynched with the Renos, at New Albany,
Indiana, was a native . of Washington coun

up 'ter 1885, and that his real name was
