The Safest Place to Be in.

According to the reports just issued
in London by the government board of
trade, it would appear that the safest
place where a man can be is in an ex-
press train on an English railroad. For
not a single passenger of all the 400,000,-
000 conveyed by rail during the first
six months of this year was killed while
traveling in the trains. Considering
that the English lines are more crowd-
ed. than any others in the world and
that the trains run at a higher average
rate of speed, this may be considered
as a marvelous record.

The Penalty of Careleesness.
The mine fire at Shamokin, Pa., re-
sulting in the loss of five lives, the par-
tial destruction of the mine machinery

’ and the indefinite suspension of work

for nine hundred employee, furnishes
a striking illustration of the futility of
the best mining legislation and the
.most perfect safeguards against acci-
dents, when the .men in whose behalf
the law is invoked and lifesaving appli-
ances employed through their own
carelessness render both the law and
protective devices of no effect. A
workman, himself the victim of the
disaster he precipitated, lighted his
open lamp in the air passage and all
the law and. life-saving devices in the
world could not prevent the appalling
consequence.

It is this factor that makes the effort

to protect the miners against the many
dangers of their calling so discourag-
ing. There is no calling followed in
civilized countries more perilous than
that of mining for coal, and none in
which greater effort has been expended
to promote a reasonable degree of safe-
ty. But familiarity with danger he-
gets indifference, and the careless miner
goes into his chamber before the fire
boss has notified him that it is clear of
explosive gases, or explores disused
gangways with an open lamp, and an
explosion follows. Nine out of ten of
the modern mine explosions have been
due to the carelessness of the men who
had most at stake in exercising every
precaution against explosion.

The best laws and the most effective
protective appliances depend upon men
for effective application, and when men
grow careless or otherwise inefficient,
the worst disasters are possible. The
misfortune in the case of the coal miners
is that one careless man jeopardizesthe
lives of hundreds and imperils millions

' of dollars’ worth of valuable productive

property. .

The above is even more emphatically
true concerning employees upon our
lfilroads.

OFA

WAR.
WEDBRESPUNDENT.

CHAPTER )1le-

Passing over the din of innumerable
small battles, skirmish“. and the like,
which filledt e summer and early fall
of 1861—1et he reader’s attention he
again recalled to Washington, Congress
and the Army of the Potomac. By the
middle of October McClellan had not
less than 75,000 men in and about Wash-
ington, and all in splendid condition
for action. The defenses about the
capital city had been most substantially
completed, by a. horse-shoe shaped line
of earthworks and forts entirely around
it, from the Potomac above George-
town to the same river below Alexandria.
We had our military outposts as far up
the Potomac as Williamsport, just
above Harpers’ Ferry, and down to
Liverpool Point. Nevertheless, the
rebel Gen. Johnson had pressed in his
forces to Munso‘n’s Hill, within six
miles of Washington, on the Virginia
side of the river. The enemy had
moreover, established batteries on the
Mattheis’ Point, and below Occoquan
Creek, completely shutting off all water
communication via the Potomac, with
\Vashington. This was exasperatingly
irritating to all loyal people yet this
blockade had to be endured for long
weary months before it was broken by
the Union troops. ‘The Confederates,
flushed with their recent smallvictories
were arrogant and aggressive, and as
McClellan still made no sign of moving
in force upon them, the murmers of dis-
appointment, impatience and chagrin,
were seriously rising in volume and
influence all over the North. The peo-
ple knew that he had a grand army in
all, of not less than two hundred thous-
and thoroughly equipped and drilled
men. His soldiers and his officers, at
least a large majority of the latter,
were chafiing to engage the defiant ene-
mies of the Union in their front. Yet
they were not permitted, though the
rebel force was not half so large as
ours. While this condition incensed
all the loyal North and grievously em-
barassed President Lincoln and his
friends in the Cabinet and Congress, it
correspondingly cheered and elated all
the rebel elements still in and surround-
ing the Capital, and bordering districts
in Maryland and Virginia.

Washington’s most aristocratic So-
ciety was of Southern lineage and in
full and intense sympathy with the dis.
unionists. Great numbers of those
residents were the inheritors of slaves
upon whose monthly wages they lived
in more or less luxurious case. It was
the practice to hire out these slaves as
servants and laborers to those in want
of help, their wages to be paid to their
masters. l‘he writer knew one such
family that had inherited a hundred
of these sable sons and daughters of
unrequited toil, and one of the most
faithful men I ever employed was one
of his young men of about twenty-three
but not a cent of the wages he earned,
could be given him, but must by law
be paid to the master or his agent.
This of course was prior to the passage
of the act abolishing slavery in the Dis-
trict of Columbia. But slavery and
the preservation of slavery was the one
cohesive power that bound all slave
owning and slave loving interests to
the rebelion and against the Union.

Despite the repeal of the law legaliz-
ing slavery within the District of Col-
umbia, the .rigors of the slave system
in many of its hardest forms were still
in force in Washington. For instance,
any strange colored man or woman,
found in Washington without a resi-
dent and responsible white person to
vouch for their being free, was subject
to arrest andconfined in jail until their
It so hap-
pened that the old Washington jail was
filled with such suspects as late as when
Congress reassembled in December
1861. One young colored man, Irecall,
was a sailor who had stepped ofi' a New
England schooner that had made its
way up the Potomac and though claim-
ing that he was born in Massachusetts,
of free parents, hcwos hauled into the
dingy, dirty jail and there kept for
months on pretence of offering him a
chance to prove himself free and his
failing in that, his imprisonment was
further continued until he could pay
the costs of his arrest, committal and
incarceration. Another very aged, grey
haired and honest natured “Uncle”
was such a. prisoner there, under the
accusation that he was suspicioned to
be a runaway slave from some owner or
other inMaryland. There were scores
of such victims so“ jailed including
many women, and youths of both sexes,
A fellow newspaper reporter on o Boa.
ton paperwcnt and informed Senator
Henry Wilson the sad tale of the im-
prisoned Massachusetts sailor and I
shall never forget the righteous indig-
nation of that grand patriot and states-
man, and the way he stormed at tho
outraae after he had. personally visited
the aslnngton jail and found the
statementto be true. The Senate had
not been in session an hour before he
had a resolution passed, demanding
that every person imprisoned 1 within
the District of Columbia and against
whom" no, charge of crime was laid,
should» instantly be' set free. 0n the
passagcpf that , release there was such
an exouus of innocent .colored people
from the Washington jail as had never
been seen before.

One of the .most pathetic incidents
connected with this period, showing
and proving the brutalizinfi influences
of slavery, was the forced a andonmcnt

 

of large numbers of colored children in
Washington. Many F. F. V. families
had their winter homes in the citv and
when the “Northern hordes” of Union
army officers and men began to pour
into and possess the capital, these fami-
lies commenced to slip away through
our lines for Richmond and other
localities in the south, taking with them
their retinue of ’ colored servants.
Among these would be many mothers
whose babes had been put out to the
keeping of some poor old auntie, for a
small pittance per month to be paid by
the masters. As masters and mothers
had disappeared, these little waifs were
thrown upon the cold charity of a city
in all the terrible upheaval of civil war.
Among the palatial residences aban-
doned by southern families, was one of
unusual size and thoroughly furnished,
on the main avenue between Washing.
ton and Georgetown. Several good
loyal indies, touched with pity for the
army of motherless babes, organized
and called upon Secretary Stanton and
requested permission to occupy this
abandoned mansion as an infant asylum
for the succor of helpless colored child-
ren. The sturdy war secretary prempt.
1y authorized its use for this humane
purpose and in less than a. week thirty
colored babes, ranging from two
months to three years old, were com-
fortably housed and cared for in the
rich rebel’s spacious home. But this
Christ-like charity required money for
food, fuel and nurses, and so the good
ladies bet-bought themselves of a lect-
ure in its aid in Rev. Dr. Sunderland’s
First Presbyterian church, with the
marvelously eloquent Frederick Doug-
las as the lecturer. Douglas at the
time was temporarily stopping in Balti-
more and readily consented to run
down and speak gratuitously in aid of
the colored infant asylum. Dr. Suth-
erland had just previously been granted
by his church, a three years’ leave of
absence, because of a threatened physi~
cal breakdown, caused by overwork in
his church and parish, and wasin Paris
acting as chaplain of the American
chapel in that gay capital. His church
was controlled by five Trustees, three
of whom were strong Union men and

two equally strong sympathisers with.

the disunionists. Upon application
being made for the use of the church
for the Douglas lecture, the three
Unionists cordially voted for it and the
two rebels angrily protested against the
desecration of their church by letting
“a nigger” go into the pulpit.

The battle raged furiously for a few
days between the brotherly trustees,

the majority insisting upon their right >

to vote its use and the two elders and
trustees in the minority, withdrawing
from their office and the church, on
being defeated. The church quarrel
served the good purpose of givmg the
lecture the widest and best possible
advertising. Every seat and all the
standing space in that large edifice
was sold at a dollar a ticket, so univer-
sal was the sympathy for the good
work. The bitter contest for the use of
the church did more than this. The
ladies at once set to work to make it a
memorable occasion. They invited
President Lincoln to preside and the
Vice President, Cabinet and Supreme
Court Judges to occupy the platform,
hoping thus to overcome the bitter and
un reasoning prejudices against acolored
man addressing a white audience in a
white church. Mr. Lincoln, for pru-
dential reasons, thought it wisest not
to preside, but to show his interest in
the event, took Douglas to the White
House and entertained him as his guest
to the scandal of all rebeldom. Secre-
tary Chase presided, Colfax, Henry
Wilson, Ben Wade, and other notables
adorned the stage, the evening of the
lecture. Police were stationed in and
about the church, as mob violence had
been freely threatened. Order was
maintained, and the only revenge the
negro-haters present, were able to ef-
fect, was at a previously concerted
moment of time, after the exercises had
opened, the throwing of large quantities
of cayenne or red pepper down all the
hot air registers of the church. Such a
prelude of coughing, sneezmg and eye-
watering, never greeted any orator.
After some degree of quiet was restored
Secretary Chace arose and mosthappil y
introduced Douglas, whose great,
bushy head looked as big as a new
moon and was the observed of all ob-
servers. It was a novel experience for
him and for us all.
of Mr. Chase’s remarks he arose and
with an extreme modesty and dignity
stepped to the front and opened with
these fitting words :

"LADIES AND GENTLEMIN:—-It is a
long way from a Maryland cornfield to
the pulpit of Dr.Sunderland’s church"—
then turning and facing Chase, with a
peculiarly reverent mien, he added with
eloquent intonation-“and this pres.
ence,” bowing very low to Chase. The
effect was electrical. The hand clap-
ping and shouts of “bravo," “bravo,"
drowned all further sounds for several
minutes. He had won a triumph over
prejudice, had captured his audience
and from that moment, be swayed it as
a magician. Be made no allusion to
the illtempered opposition to his speak-
ing in the church, but plead for fair
play for the colored people who were
here by no act of their own and whether
for weal or woe, were here to eta . He
related an incident of the Bo timore
depot on his way over that evening.
He took his seat in the ordinary poo-
senger car, he said, when a trainmcn
accosted him rudely and said he could
not ride there, he “must go forward in
the nigger car.” 'He showed his first-
class. ticket, but to no effect, and on
followmg the trainman out, a woman
was struggling in with a dog under her
am. “See” said he to the tralnman,
“that lady is carrying a dog into this
car. and can’t I ride where the dogs
ride '2” “Poor fellow,” said the great
and magnanimous Douglas. “ he was
obeying his orders
and took my seat and rode down_here
to address you tic-night in the ‘nigger
car.” The dog story showed the aim.

nose of [cast prejudice better than a ‘

da ’5 argument. The lecture was more
taked about than the meeting of 3
Congress and several hundreds of dol-
lars were gained for the humane and
loyal ladies’ colored baby charity.

A Laundry Burglarized.

Some one gained an entrance to
Charles Quong’s Chinese laundry in
the Price building on Water street, last
night and stole nine packages of laun-
dry belonging to customers. Quong
left town very suddenly a few days ago
since which time nothing has been
heard from him. It is not known how
the thieves got in but it is thought that
they gained an entrance through the
basement. Those having laundry at
the place will find an adv. of interest

TARIBIANY NASH—3i STRAITS.

 

The Philanthroplst Nominated For hiayor
of New York t‘lty.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—Nnthan Strains,
nominated by Tammany Hall for mayor
of this city, when seen today said:

"It is somewhat in the nature of a sur-
prise. Of course I had seen in the news-
papers that it was possible my name might
be considered. but from :my one connect:
ed with Tammany l-i’all I had no intima=
tlon that my name inighs be presented to
the convention until 5 o". lock in the after-
noon.

“Then two of the leadrrs of that body
called on me and asked ii‘ I Would accept
the nomination if it should be offered to
me. . My answer was th €21‘l"2‘j.‘2lllilf; ile-
pended on the resume: in which the term

dcr was made. If there was any split in
the convention or any opposition of any
weight was developed against me, Iwould
decline, whereas if the nomination was
made unanimously and spontaneously
there was a strong probability I would
accept. This, too, was contingent on the
fact that the rest of the ticket was strong.
for if I entered the fight I would want to
win. It is a strong ticket, as far as I
know, and it will win. I believe.”

“Then you will accept?”

“I may say that I will. If nothing un-
foreseen develops in a day or tw0, there
will be no reason whyI should not accept.
This is a Democratic city, and it should
have a Democratic mayor, and if the Dem—
ocrats want me, why, I am ready to make
the fight. The office sought me; I did not
seek the office.”

The other Tammany nominees are:

For recorder, Frederick Smyth.

For sherifi‘, William Sohmer.

For judge of the superior court, Charles
H. Truax.

For president of the board of alderman,
