Steel Kails. Most of tho recent deplo
rable railroad accidents Lave keen caused
by broken rails. Defective rails, or rails
made of inferior iron, when the track is not
In order, are always dangerous at a bigh
rate of speed. The introduction of steel
rails will form a now era in railroads. Their
cost Is only about double that of iron. They
will last about twenty times as long as the
best iron rails and cannot bo broken. The
timo is not distant when every first class
road will bo compelled to adopt steel rails,
not ouly on account of their safety, but on
the score of economy. Near the terminus
of tho Northern Central road, at Baltimore,
several miles of steel rails havo boeu in use
for two years, and appoar nearly as good
as ever. Previously, the track requlrod re
newal with iron rails about every three
months. The Legislature ougLt to compel
their ose, by restricting the speed on iron
rails to 20 miles per hour and on stoel to 80.
Truo economy alone ought to lnduco the
adoption of steel rails at once.
Imteachmest of the. President. The
trial of President Johnson is progressing,
and will not be concluded until about the
last of this week. Mr. Slanbery will file
' tis speech for the President, and Judge
Bingham will close the argument, commen
cing on Thursday, and occupy about two
dBys. Mr. Grocsbcck, of Cincinnati, made
an eloquent speech in favor of the President,
a few daya since, and Mr. Evarts, of New
York, a very able one on Wednesday. The
speeches of Tbaddeus Stevens and Thomas
Williams, of this State, are very ablo argu
ments. That of Mr. Stevens tho New York
Tribune pronounces tho most logical and
pointed of any delivered in this case. The
evidence clearly establishes the principal
charges, and if the President cannot be con
victed tinder it, be may as well, hereafter,
claim with the Monarchs of Europe, the
prerogative, that "the King can do. no
wrong."
The Condition. Tho Southern States
which have just voted on the acceptance of
their newly-formed Constitution, and for the
elections of officers under them, are Georgia,
North and South Carolina, and Louisiana.
North Carolina voted to accept and ratify by
a very small majority. South Carolina did
the same by a majority nearly double the
wholo contrary vote. Louisiana also ratified
the constitution and elected a Republican
State ticket by 10,000 majority. In Goorgia
only an official count can decide the point,
but it is probablo that the Constitution has
been adopted. The Mississippi Convention
havo finished their work and tho new Con
stitution will soon bo voted on. A. Dem
ocratic Mayor and Council were elected in
New Orleans. The new Constitution framed
In Virginia will be voted upon Juno 2nd,
when members of Congress and the Leg'
ielaturo are to be elected. If the Constitu
tion is adopted, the Legislature will meet
Jnne 24th. Washington Territory is to vote
the same month upon organizing a State
government. Florida holds her constitu
tional election May 46. The Rhode Island
legislature is to meet May 20th and: elect
a United States Senator. The election
will occar early in June, and there is no
doubt that a Republican will be chosen
Maine wants to have Ex-Vice President
Ilamlin put on the ticket with Grant for the
Vice Presidency, but Connecticut demands
that Gov. Buckingham shall bo taken up,
and almost every other State names from
one to three candidates for that office. No
ticket run in opposition to the Democrats,
since 1810, has ever succeeded without
the Vice President becoming President be
fore the end of the latter's term. The Vice
Presidency is really a grave matter here, in
more than one sense. Thurlow Weed says
that Mr. Seward will quit the State Depart
ment if President Johnson is removed. The
Chicago Convention, to meet this month,
is being arrauged in all of its details and
will bo a very large gathering. These facts
comprise tho most important in the horo
scope, and show that as much interest is
felt as ever in the subject. Moro should be,
for never, save when war was decidod up
on, have thero been graver questions at
issue in every Department of political action
than now. Our political affairs 60 effect all
others that they must be kept right, in order
to allow the others to grow.
Notwithstanding the great outcry
about tho destructiveuess to fruit by the
frost, a short time ago, it now appears that
the yield will bo abundant, unless some
new reason to tho contrary arises. Throogu
out tho West the peach crop promises well,
and the season is progressing favorably in
almost every respect. So tot the croakers
keep quiet.
fdT" A delegation of gentlemen, it is re
ported, called on Mr. Wade, a few days
since, conccrniug appointments.aud to assure
him of their support at Chicago, whereupon
be is understood to have mado the following
"neat little speech :"
"Uentiemen, l am not open to buy or
sell, and do not expect or intend to be. If I
shall be President for a iew months I shall
try to get the beat and most capable and
honest men to fill offices; and in doing so I
shall have no prejudice against your State
more than any other in the selection ; but
my great object will be to find such men
wherever they are, aud I shall try to do it,
whether it makes or mars my being Vice
President or anything else. I don't care
enough for any office to turn from this
courso."

The New York' Timei refers to one of tho
late election frauds in this State as follows :
"In tho investigation of certain political
frauds in the Pennsylvania Legislature,
Rov. T. Tracy , a priest of Clearfield, testified
that he paid a man named O'Meara f 500
to leave the Stato whllo the Inquiry was
going on, in order that he might not ap

the instance of Senator Wallace, Chairman
of the Democratic Stato Committee. There
aro several disgraceful features of this transaction-sot
tbo least of which is that a

make himself a party to so base ao act.
The Timet might havo added that another

lina, and a citizen of great respectability
and influenco, made a speech at a recent
Republican meeting in that State, in the
course of which ho enunciated this caustic
truth :
The Democrats object to every possible
plan of reconstruction, and propose nothing.
They raise the cry of "social equality,"
"white children to be bound to black
masters," "negro supremacy," and others
equally absurd. You recollect at tho coin
menccmcntof the war there were many down
here who bragged that one Southerner
could whip ten Yankees, and now it seems
from their great fear of the negroes ruliug
this country that they believod that one
negro could whip ten Southern men Laugh
ter, for there is a white majority in nearly
every State in the Union, and thero are ten
white men to ono colored man in tho Uni

Mr. M. A. Blakeslio, a resident of Olean,
N. Y., who was a passenger in one of the
cars which went over the embankment,
aJl '
'1 was awaKcneu by tuc sudden stopping
of the cars. There was a wrench as if the
coupling was breaking. All was quiet in
the car yet. 1 sprang trom my bertu to tue
floor ; just then tho car was dragged by the
others over the embankment. I then threw
myself full length upon the floor and held
fast as the car went over and over. The
outer roof was torn off, and tho sides fell
outward. I was about to riso when the in
ner roof of tho car enmo crashing down,
and was held by a broken framework within
threo inches of my head. Crawling out
over dead and wounded, I manngud to ex
tricate myself from the wreck. Tho ladies'
car was on fire,' and on every side of me
sufferers were shrieking and groaning in
agony. The moan came up when the fire
of the car went out, and tho passengers then
began to extricate the dead and wounded. I
helped to clear away tho rubbish of the
wreck." Mr. Blakcslit declares "that it was
the most perfect wreck that could bo ima
gined, nothing but a mass of chips and
splinters remaining of tho threo sleeping
ana one ladies' car. I counted live aead
bodies in the car that I was in. There wore
five or six killed, and afterward burned in
the ladies' car, and I saw live more dead
bodies upon the railroad track. I should
judge there were at least fifty badly wound
ed, i was tola uy a tricnii ot mine, a Mr.
Porter, that the train was running at the
rate of forty or fifty miles an hour. I was
told at Salamanca, wheu I embarked, that
tho traiu was thon thirty minutes behind
timo, in consequence of having been delay
ed sonio time near Corry, Pa., in picking
up the body of a man who had been killed
by tho train passing over him."
A Port Jervis letter says : To-day tho first
wreck was cleared away, and black, smoul
dcrind ru ins mark the spot where once lay
four large cars. A half mile this side the
remains of tho freight train wreck of last
evening is soon, broken into pieces, one car
laying dismantled in the stream, with tho
freight strewed along the sides. An ex
amination of tho rails at the carve showed
that they were in a' frightful condition,
woru and ragged. The time and heart
rending circumstancea of tho first accident
did not prevent tlioae human vultures who
hover over disaster from preying upon tho
unlbrtuuate. Talcs of robbing of dead and
wounded could be told that would mako the
heart sick to dwell upon. Mr. Douglass,
Division Superintendent, dragging his
bruised form from the ruins, sat down on
tue am, and almost deranged with pain,
gave orders for the caro of the wounded.
Whilo thus sitting, half unconscious from
intense pain, some villain stole from him his
Eockct-book and MaBonio papers. Pocket
ooks were rilled, rings torn from fingers.
Destruction and deviltry went hand in hand.
When the poor maimed creatures reached
Port Jervis they had hardly any clothing
wiiu mem. a. similar circumstance is re
latcd. A charred body lay in a mass of em
bers at the bottom of the ravine : in a pocket
soaked with tbo water that rushed along tho
bottom was an Accident Insurance ticket of
(3,000. This alone gave clue to tho man,
for his body was burned beyond recogni
tion. The fire had burned all around the
ticket. Mr. Purinton, of Cortland, took a
(5,000 accident ticket. This geotleinau, it
is said, has Life Insurances policies upon his
life for upward pf $30,000.
On this dark scene of horror a ray of
glory falls. It is the devotion, the heroism,
of the ladies of this town. It is heroism
that can endure the moaning, the sorrow of
tho chamber of death. It would fill this
column with names of noble ladies who
have in one way or another watched by the
side of tho suffering. Their names are Le
gion. Never seeming to tire, during the
loqg nights, tho silent watchers moved as
only a woman a ministering angel can
movo.
"Aro you better, my poor fellow ?" said
a repoiter to a sufferer this morning. "How
can I help but be, with such an angel for a
nurse !" was tho answer.
The Coroner's jury have rendered the
following verdict :
"From the evidence beforo us we have
arrived at the conclusion that tho deceased,
Tobias Elrich, came to his death from the
track at Carr t Rock, Pennsylvania, the ac
cident being caused by a broken rail. The
occurrence, in ouropiuiou, might have been
avoided had the traiu run at less speed,
owing to the unsafe condition of the road."
The report in a morning journal that the
wreck was burned last night after the killed
and wounded bad boeu removed, lacks
confirmation.

Ths first business was Senator Edmunds

the arguments are concluded "d while the
doors are closed for final deliberation.
Senator Williams proposed an amend
men that no senator shall speak more than
o"o and ot to wooed rfftocn minutes,
during such deliberation. Agreed to.
Senator Howard then moved a further
amendment, that each Senator should speak
but fifteen minutes npon one question when
the decisiou was demanded, and" was loBt
by 10 to 80. The Republicans voting in
the affirmative were: Fesscnden, Fowler,
Frellnghuyscn, Grimes, Howard, Trumbull,
Willey.
Senator Anthony moved to allow each
Senator to speak thirty instead of fifteen
minutes. This also was lost, by a voto of
16 to 34. Republicans voting in tho affir
mative: Corbett, Fesscnden, Fowler and
Grimes.
On motion of Senator Morton, the further
consideration of the subject was postponed
till after tho argumenta are concluded.
Mr. Sumner's motion and his amendments
to the rules were also postponed until after
the arguments, at his own request.
Manager Stevens then took the floor at
12:80 P. m., and commenced reading his
speech, standing at tho Clerk's desk. Du
ring the delivery of Thad. Stevens' speech,
the utmost quiet prevailed in the Senate
chamber, and tho greatest attention was
paid, both by Senators and spectators.
Mr. Stevens had not spoken more than
half an hour when he was compelled to sit
down, and soon after had to give up the
reading entirely.
Mr. Butler stepped out to Mr. Stevens,
and volunteered to read the balance of his
remarks, which he done in a loud and clear
voice. Mr. Stevens' spcoch concludes with
the following sentence, viz :
But I promised to be brief, and must abido
by the promiso, although I should like the
judgment of the Senate upon this, to roc,
seeming vital phase and real purpose of all
his misdemeanors. To me this seems n sub
limo spectacle. A nation, not free but as
nearly approaching it as human institutions
will permit of, consisting of thirty millions
of people, had fallen into conflict, which
among other people always ends in anarchy
or despotism, and had laid down their arms,
the mutineers submitting to tho conquer
ors. The laws were about to regain their
accustomed sway, and again to govern the
nation by the punishment of treason and
tho reward of virtue. Her old institutions
were about to be reinstated so far as they
were applicable, according to tho judgment
of tho conquerors. Then one of their in
ferior servants, instigated by an unholy am
bition, sought to siezc a portion of the terri
torv accord i lie to the fashion of neighbor
ing anarchies, and to convert a land of
freedom into a land of slaves. This people
spurned the troitors, and have pat the chief
ot them upon his trial, and demand lucig
mcnt upon his misconduct. lie will bo
condemned, and his sentonco inflicted with
out turmoil, tumult, or bloodshed, and tho
nation will continuo its accustomed courso
of freedom and prosperity, without the
shedding any further of human blood, and
with a milder punishment than the world
has been accustomed to see, or hcrhaps than
ought now to be inflicted.
Now, even if tho pretext of the President
were truo and not n mcro subtertugo to jus
tify the chief act of violation with which he
stauds charged, still that would be such an
a'oueo ol the patroniigo of the Government
as would demand his impeachment for a
high misdemeanor. Let us agaiu fur a mo
ment examine into sonio of tho circum
stances of that act. Mr. Stanton was op
pointed Secretary of War by Mr. Liucolu,
in 1302, and continued to' hold under Mr.
Johnson, which, by all usage, is coiibiderud
a re-appointmeut. Waa he a faithful officer,
or was ho removed for corrupt purposes ?
Alter the death of Mr. Linoolu, Andrew
Johnson had changed his whole codo ot
politics and policy, and instead of obeying
the will of those who put him iuto power,
he determined to create a party for himself
to carry out his own ambitious purposes.
For every honest purpose of the Govern
ment, and for every houest purpose for
which Mr. Stanton was appointed by Mr.
Lincoln, where could a better man be
found ? None ever organized an army of a
million of men and provided for it subsis
tence aud efficient action more rapidly than
Mr. Stanton and his predecessor. It might,
with more propriety, be said of this officer
than of the celebrated Frenchman, that he
"organized victory." Ho raised and by his
requisitious distributed more than a billion
of dollars anuually, without ever having been
charged or suspected with tho misappro
priation or a single dollar ; and when vic
tory crowned his efforts ho dislmnded that
immense army as quietly and peacefully
as if it had been a summer parade. He
would not, I suppose, adopt the personal
views of the President ; and for this he was
suspended until restored by tho emphatic
verdict of tho Senate. Now, if we are right
in our narrative of the couduct of these
parties and the motives of the President,
tho very cffoit at removal was a highhanded
usurpation us well as a corrupt misdemeanor,
for which of itself he ought to be impeach
ed aud thrown from the place ho was abusing.
But bo says that bo did not remove Mr.
Stanton for tho purposo of defuatiug the
Tenure of-Offico law. Then ho forgot the
truth in bis controversy with the General
of the Army. And because the General
did not. aid him in resisting that law, ho
railed upon, him like a very drab.
Tho counsel for the respondent allege
that no removal of Mr. Stanton ever took
place, and that, therefore, the sixth section
of the act was uot violated. They admit
that there was an order of removal aud a
rccision of his commission ; but as be did
not oley it, say it was no removal. That
suggests the old saying, that it used to be
thought that "wheu the brains were out,
the man was dead." That idea is proved
by learned counsel to be absolutely falla
cious. I be brain of Mr. Stanton s commis
sion was taken oat by the order of the re
movalthe recision of his commission
aud bis head was absolutely cut off by that
gallant soldier, General Thomas, the night
after the masquerade And yet, accord iujr
to the learned and delicate counsel, until
the mortal remains of everything that could
putrefy was shoveled out and hauled into
the muck-yard, there was no removal. But
it is said that this took place merely as an
experiment to make a judicial case. Now,
suppose there is anybody who, with the
facts before him, can believo that this was
not an atter-thought, let us see if that pal
liatcs the offense.
The President is sworn to take caro that
the laws be faithfully executed. In what
part of the Constitution or law does he find
It to be bis duty to search out for detective
laws that stand recorded upon the statutes,
in order that be may advise their infraction!
Who was aggrieved by the Tenure of-Offico
bill that he was authorized to use the name
and the funds of the Government to relievef
Will be bo so good at to tell us by what au
thority be became the obstructor of an unre
pealed law instead of its executor, especially
a law whose unconstitutionality he had twice
tested ? If there were nothing else tban bis
own statement, be deserves the contempt of
tne American peopio, ana tno pnnisbmcnt
of its bigbest tribunal. If he wcro not
willing to executo the laws passed v tbo
American Congress and unrepealed, Irt bitn
resign tho office which was thrown upon
him byahorribh!onvnlsloo, and retire to
his village obscurity. Let him not bo so
swollen by. prido and arrogance, which
sprung from tbo deep misfortune of his
country, as to attempt an entiro revolution
of its internal machinery, and tho dlsgraoo
of tho trusted servants of his lamented
predecessor.
Mr. Ilout well's) Speech on Impeach
meat.
The speech of Mr. Boutwoll, in opening
tho argument of Impeachment Trial has
taken almost everybody by surprise. It is
marked by perspicacity In setting out the
premises upon which tbo case of the Man
agers rests, and by close logic in the appli
cation of the law to the facta. Mr. Boutwell
is a clear reasoner, and most able in his il
lustrations and applications. Ho presents
the case of the people in such a light that
every purt of thu cause.is illuminated by his
mind. I bo justice or the charges made, tuo
necessity that exists that they shall be sus
tained by the court, and the considerations
of patriotism which demand that the country
shall be relieved of au incubus, are thorough
ly set forth iu this masterly effort.
The next speech by Air. kelson, ono ot
the counsel for the accused, waa mainly a
personal history and defence of his client,
aad was what would bo regarded in this
part of the country a stump speech in an
election canvass. Ho drove almost every
body out of tho Senate chamber Managers,
Senators, Representatives, spectators and
all. After speaking more than two days he
thanked the Court for the patient attention
wuicn una l een bestowed upon nis remarks.
And then Mr. Saulsbury, solus, jumps up
and compliments him on bis speech.
noN. JAMES r. WILSON.
This gentleman is one of the Managers in
the Impeachment, aud mado duriug the
trial ono of the ablest arguments ever listen
ed to. Every lover of his country will regret
to hear that he declines a re nomination to
Congress. No man in either House enjoys
tho respect and confidence of all his col
leagues, and of both parties, more truly than
Mr. Wilson. Ho is endowed with raro
strength and solidity of mind, his learning
is accurate and substantial, his judgment
sound and wtso. Ot course, sucu a man
cannot long remain in privato life, much as
he may desire it. Onco enlisted into the
public servico, ho may havo an occasional
turloug:), but be cannot be permanently dis
charged. In the course of his letter with
drawing from another nomination, ho says
"Before the closo of my present term the
great questions wntcu now agitato tne pub
lie mind will, doubtless, have been adjusted
and put at rest. On tho 4th day of March,
18G9, a new administration will be inaugu
rated. That it will bo Republican, I do
not doubt ; for no one can well mistake the
result of the coming Presidential election
Everything portends tho nomination aud
election of General Grant. Tbo whole coun
try will unite in a common effort to render
bis administration successful, and. such it
will bo.
mr. logan's argument.
The argument prepared by Manager Logan
for presentation in the Impeachment trial is
of about the same lenctu as Sir. Boutwelrs,
It is published in the Globe aud will uot be
delivered beforo tho Senate. Mr. Logan, to
a considerable extent, avoids the severely
legal aspects of tho case so strongly brought
out by Mr. Boutwell, and devotes himself
rather to a general discussion of the nature
ot the Presidents ollences against the pco
pie, and a consideration of the serious evils
endured by the people from, their Chief
Magistrate before they decided to resort to
impeachment. Mr. Logan is thoroughly in
earnest in the position ho has taken, and
the argument which he prepared shows that
the House did not act uuwisely in making
him one of tho managers of this most im
portant State trial which tho world has ever
known.
The Southern Elections'.
Arkansas ha .ratified the new Constitution,
and has chosen the Republican Governor,
members of Congress, and a large majority
of the Legislature. The Republicans polled
over fifteen thousand white votes, and
were bitterly opposed by all the old leuding
rebels, with a few houorablo exceptions.
In this Stato the election was contested
with great earnestness in the hope of defat
ing the Constitution and thus postponing
to an indefinite period the restoration of
the State.
In Louisiana the Republicans have carried
everything except ono member of Congress,
(in the New Orleans district,) and his elec
tion will bo contested ou the grounds of
frauds by which his success was obtained.
Tho majority will bo from 10,000 to 20,000
on tno Constitu tiou.
South Carolina has covered herself with
glory. Being the first State to raiso the
banner of rebullon and treason, she will be
the first, or among the first to resumo her
place in the Union. The Republicans there
have carried everything. Tho majority for
the Constitution "is over 40,000 1
Nohtii Carolina. After all the false
hoods tclegrughud north that tbo Democrats
had carried the election in North Carolina,
it turns out that the Republicans are suc
cessful by a decided majority how large
cannot now be stated but suUicieot to
secure the Governor, most of tho members
of Congress and a majority of tho Legisla
ture.
Geoikua. Who would believe thut after
all the telegraphic misrepresentations thai
the Constitution hud been defeated in Geor
gia, that Gordon, late rebel General, aud a
majinty ot tue Legislature oi tne same
stripe, aad been chosen tno Kcpubiicuus
have achieved a victory there! Such ia the
fact. Tho Constitution has been ratified
and a Republican Governor aud Legisla
ture chosen. Perhaps two Democratic
members of Congress havo been chosen. In
all these States a luree proportion of the
Republican vote came from the native white
population. And in these all the bitterest
opposition was mado by those were old
politicians before secession and who took a
prominent part in the rebellion. Owing
to tho encouragement given to tbom by An
drew Johnson, they have not lost one drop
oi re oei uiooci.
