A EOYAiisT from across the sea, Writing of the unpleasantness lliat has arisen between the President of the United States and Senators on the question of appointing men to office, says that "the fact that the large majority of the American peo ple turned nastily to support tret,i dent Garfield as the chief power in the land to make appointments is a certain indication of the natural bent of the human mind in favor of a kindly form of government ; it is a natural, a spontaneous umnifeotation in favor of one man power." The foreign interpretation of the acts of the people of this country in supporting President Garfield as against the Senators in the distribu tion of the offices is a novel one, and is worthy of consideration. There is another view, which the Royalists have not taken, or seen ; if they have, they are silent on that point, and that is, that the rally of the peo ple to the support of the President is an indication of their disinclina tion to have the affairs of a State ed dled out by men in the respective States, when the President does not approve of the men recommended. The foreign view of the siding of the people with the President, does not impress Americans as correct. It is well enough, however, to analize it, which may be done by each member of the Republic Americans inter pret their own action (and they should know best what mainspring or motive governs them) to mean that they are in favor of the fulfillment of the Con stitution that provides lor the ap pointment to office by the President, and a confirmation bv the Senate. A commission to office must have a dou ble endorsement, that of the Presi dent and that of the Senate. The people came to the support of the President because an effort was made through caucus enactment of Sena tors to obstruct the harmonious op eration of the method of appoint ment as provided by the Constitu tion. It was not a spontaneous up rising, or manifestation in favor of Kingly rule. It was no more so, than the act of the Senators in caucus was a manifestation of State Rights, or a manifestation of the natural spirit that underlies the ruling of a govern ment by Nobles. The subject, in all of its bearings, is worthy of atten tion and study. . . The bill for the re-districting of the State into judicial districts has passed the Legislature, and awaits the signa ture of the Governor. The expres- j sions of dissatisfaction against the bill, is, that it connects counties judi cially that are not connected with each other by boundary lines ; coun ties are united under a judge that have other counties lying between. Another objection is that the num ber of judges have been increased. Those persons that favor legislation such as the bill just mentioned justify it under the plea that the Constitu tion of the State permits it The adoption of the new Constitution as a whole, the way in which it was presented to the people by the convention that framed it, was a mis take. There are good features in the new document, but there are so many objectionable ones that it should be amended. The great good feature in it, is, that it prevents precipitate leg islation; but that might have been had without connecting with it the useless multiplicity of judicial dis tricts, and legislative districts. The new Constitution has too many clauses in it that opens the door for leech legislation that is sucking up the revenues of the Commonwealth. Corporate, mining and manufacturing interests pay the great bulk of the State tax. The general public pay it back on freight, and additional cost on the articles they consume, and in that way their earnings are absorbed. It is not always necessary for a State to resort to direct taxation to reach the financial vitals of a people. It may be done indirectly, by a multi plicity of officers that are paid out of the Commonwealth Treasury, which may get its money from railroad tas, corporation tax, tax on manufac tories, &c, which does not impress the populace as a direct tax does. If the new Constitution is such a fertile source for the multiplicity of offices that are of no use, unless, indeed, it is to consume the revenues of the in dustry of the country, then it were best to amend the Constitution. Thb Women's Silk Culture Associ ation of Philadelphia are placing the question of 4silk culture" in America in such a light before the people of the United States that a renewed effort will be made to raise the raw material within the bounds of the Republic Manufactories for the manufacture of the raw material have been put np in this country, and so satisfactory has the experiment proven itself that those who are at the head of the movement predict the rise, irom it, cl one of the most impor tant industries of the laud. Rich mercantile houses in cities have be come interested in the new industry. A house in Philadelphia, through the Women's Silk Culture Association offer the sum of five hundred dollars, to lie awarded at the " Silk Culture Fair," to be held during the third week of October, at St George's Hall, Philadelphia. A Piute Indian squaw was 'execu ted, some days ago, by her tribe, for the practice of witchcraft It is not long since the New England Yankees executed a number of people for the alledged practice of witchcraft, and the president of a New England Col lege issued a pamphlet in defence of the executions, on the ground that tne manifestations as alleged against the accused were the work of real witches and wizards. With such a record it becomes New England peo ple to say as little as possible about the execution of the Piute squaw. DeLesseps, the French engineer, expresses the belief that within the period of four years the canal across Central America can be completed.

Hon. John Reilly has been appointed superin tendent of transportation of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Northern Central Railway, Baltimore and Po tomac Railroad, Alexandria and Fred ericksburg Railway, and West Jersey Railway, with office at Philadelphia. The organization of the Pennsylva nia Railroad division provides for the addition of a division, consisting of the Altoona yard and the following branch roads, which have been de tached from the Pittsburg division, The Hollidavsburg and Morri- son's Cove ; Newrv, Williamsburg and Springfield branches.

James R2ed has been appointed principal assistant engineer maintenance of way of the Pennsylvania Railroad divi sion, in the place of Robert E. Pet- tit, promoted. A Bostos preacher, who Las been out West, visiting large farms, writes as follows to a Boston paper : " lien talk of 20,000, 40,000 and 60,000 acres of land without any realization of the extent of such an acreage. I visited the other day a ranch of 20, 000 acres. I intended to make a thor ough survey of it that is, to ride around it and ride across it I made my survey, but when I learned that the fence which enclosed it was over seventy miles in length I concluded that I would insject it by sections. I did considerable riding in two days, nevertheless, but I didn't ride around it On the ranch there were 1500 acres all under the plow, one bit of land nearly as level as a floor, a par alellogram in shape, and the furrow which the plow cut in traversing from one end to the other was three miles in a straight line. It is only after one has visited such an estate and devoted days in riding over it that he realizes what 20,000 acres of land is." "This towboat Oakland left St Louis for New Orleans May 15, with the heaviest tow yet taken seaward that way, namely, eight barges carry ing freight as follows : 160,000 bush els of wheat, 140,000 bushels of corn, 5,000 banels of flour, 3,000 sacks of bran, 6,000 sacks of oats, 5.000 pack ages of general freight The total tonnage exceeded 10,000 tons. Most of the grain was for export" As exchange says : "The Gentile population of Utah has increased two hundred per cent, while the Mormon population has increased only forty-five per cent This fact suggests a way for the uproot ing of the twin relic" It can be done in time, without bloodshed, by encouraging the emigration of moral, pious people to that Territory." Rev. Henry Ward Beeches is at work on the second volume of his book "The Life of Christ" It is the work that his publisher said had been " knocked higher than a kite " by the Tilton scandal. If the sec ond volumne of the work be as able as the first volume, all students of the Life of Christ cannot help having a desire to read it The father of a voung man in Pitts burg had his son arrested on a crinii nal charge, for the purpose of break ing up a matrimonial engagement with a young lady that the father did not wish to have as a daughter-in law. The son turned around and sued the father "for conspiracy in causing his arrest and imprisonment," and claims $10,000.

This was not in China. A Thrilling Experience, On Monday a week a misplaced switch at Bear Swamp, s station in New Jersey, on a railroad leading from Trenton to New York City, threw the three hind cars of a train of five cars off the track? Ine en gine and the first "two cars passed rafoW over the fault in the switch. The third passenger car was torn off its trucks and contnderaDiy Droaen. The two hind cars were lying side by side, entirely demolished. 1 wo per enna were killed and many were nrnnndad. Mr. P. It Deacon, one of the wounded men, came on to Philadel- nlii tw1 was interviewed by a re- r - - porter of tne -niiaueipim He said: lima We left New York at twenty min utes past three It was the fast ex press. We were due in Philadelphia, I understand, at ten minutes of nve. The train had four passenger cars and a baggage car. First was the smoking car, then a Pullman parlor car and after that two regular pas senger coaches. I was in next to the last There were about thirty in this car. I sat on the right-hand side front, on the seat next but one to the front door. Directly opposite me sat a srentleinan and his wile and Daoy. I remember these passengers partic ularly, because the baby, a pretty lit tle thing, in a white lace cap, was being danced up and down on its mother's knee, while the father kept teasinff it as we came along. Directly behind this family sat an old lady of about eighty. Directly behind me sat an elderly ffentleman, a Oerman, I think. It was abont ten minutes of four when we began to get near Tren ton. I remember I looked at my watch and thouxrht we had been tray eling about an hour. I began to feel sleepy and braced my feet against the aisle end of my seat and my head airainst the car window and had closed my eyes when I heard a woman scream. Before I had time to learn w hat it meant the car was thrown violently to one side, careened over like, in the direction of the man and his wife opposite me. With my feet braced against the end of the seat and my body leaning the other way I could not, of course, go in that direction, but was thrown with my head against the window, which caused it to go crashing through. I wore a stiff black hat, and that, I am satisfied, is all that saved my life. The pane went crashing to pieces, and when the car kind of regained its balance my head came back inside again. And just now was the most singular part of my experience. As the car was pitched back kind of into position again the little baby was thrown square into my arms, while the father, who sprang to cateh it, seized hold of the little lace cap as the baby went flying to me and tore it off its head and retained it in his hand. The woman was thrown kind of aslant across the aisle past me, toward the car door. The reaction came in an instant, when the car, with a quick, sudden, sharp jerk, more violent than before, careened over. This time I felt myself going with it, when the strong hand of tbe passen ger in the seat behind jerked me back toward the broken window, and I felt myself, baby and all, going out I knew no more till I found myself lying in a swamp about three feet below the railroad track, and the baby in my arms. It was not hurt My head almost to my eyes was buried in mud. One shoe was missing from my foot, which was likewise imbed ded in the mud. The shoe had caught between the seats when they came crashing together, and being easy to draw had slipped off and left my boot free. Oh, my God ! it was fearful when I opened my eyes and looked np. Our car had been smashed like an egg shell. I can't compare it to any thing else. As it careened over the second time the hindmost truck wheels of the car in the rear, which had jumped the track and ran right alongside ours on the opposite side from which I had been thrown out, until it had turned a complete somer sault on end and dropped its hind truck, wheels and all, as it were, from the air as our car careened over the second time this heavy truck came crashing down on the roof, right overhead the seat where the man had sat with the wife and baby. The first thing I saw after I got up was the woman running about, wringing her hands and crying for somebody to save her husband. The German who sat in the seat behind me when the accident occurred came up to where I was and took the baby. It was not hurt I rushed to the other side of the car, and there saw a sickening sight The father had his body half way out of the window when the trucks came crashing down on him, smashing in the roof like an egg shell and falling right across his waist His brains were oozing out, blood was streaming all over his head and face and he was quite dead. I don't think he lived an instant after the trucks struck him. In one hand he held his baby's little lace cap, and it could not be gotten out of his fin gers. The wife was rushing wildly about, screaming for somebody to come and get her husband out It was not until two or three passen gers, one of them with the baby in his arms, had taken her in hand that she could be gotten away. The pas sengers got axes and cut the husband out The car was as complete a wTeck as ever I saw or expect to see. The old lady who sat in the seat be hind the dead man was also badly crushed and, I think, died a few min utes afterward. If it had not been for the passenger in the seat behind me pulling me back I, too, would have been crushed to death under the heavy truck and the baby along with me. How the mother was saved I don't know. When the car pitched over the second time she was thrown aslant the aisle past my seat and tow ard the door. She was crushed be tween the seats and seriously hurt Afterwards she and her baby were cared for by passengers, who raised a purse of money for her and took her to the hotel Her husband's watch was also given her by the Ger man who took it off his person in my presence. A woman of seventy died in Detroit a day or two ago from over-exertion at fancy dress ball, which aba attended masked and in tbe attire and character of a yoang girl.
