Jrull particulars of the recent terrible catastrophe
on the Michigan Southern Railroad are published
in this morning's DkkaLd. There were, it is believed,
between sixty and seventy persons killed
t?y the disaster, though only thirty-seven bodies J
have been foUDd, and of the>e seventeen were so
mutilated as to be unrecognizable. Forty-four
persons were wonnded and maimed, while but
twelve of the occupants of the train escaped
tininjured. The names of the killed, wounded and
uninjured, as far as they could be ascertained, together
with accounts of the catastrophe by passengers
in the cars at the time of the occurrence, may be <
found in the account to which we have referred
our readers. This iB, with but one exception, the
most disastrous railroad accident tint ever happened
in the United States.
The Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners
met yesterday, all the members present. A delegation
of six persons appeared before them, presenting
a remonstrance, signed by thirteen hundred
persons,against enforcing the Sunday laws. There
were in the delegation Rev. Dr. Maxon, of the
Eleventh street Seventh Day Baptist Church; Rev.
Geo. B. Utter,of the same denomination, and agent
of their Tract Society; Rev. Charles Shaam, of the
German Lutheran Church, and Rev. Joseph L.
Hatch, of the Congregational Church. The document
set forth that the Sunday laws were a dead
letter, and were instituted for sectarian purposes,
and not with the design of suppressing intemperance.
It suggests that the law should be enforced
on all days of the week alike, and no more on Sua
day than any other day. Mr. Hatch said that the
liquor dealers vere opposed to the movement, as
they deemed it to favor the lager beer interest and
thereby injure their business. The Board did not
act on the remonstrance. The resignations of Ser
geant Van Orden, of the Sixteenth precinct, and of
Oliver B. Stout were received. Jason Mills, of the
Nineteenth, and James L. Lawrence, of the Twentyfirst
precincts, were removed for cause.
The report of the Board of Visiters appointed to i
superintend the exercises at the recent examina.
tion of the pupils of the Military Academy at West
Feint, is puonstiea in to-uay b meralp. u is an in.
tcresting paper, and will well repay perusal.
Col. Butterfield has forwarded from St Johns an
account of the shipwreck of the steamer Argo, in
Trepascy Bay, on Tuesday morning last, which may
bo found among our telegraphic despatches. All
the passengers had arrived at Bt Johns safe and
well, and they will no doubt be forwarded to their
destination in the Glasgow.
The Chamber of Commerce, it will be remem)M>rcd,
some time ago voted medals for presents,
tion to those engaged in laying the first Atlantic
cable. The medals have just been completed, and
will at once lie handed over to the recipients. A
description of tbo medals and the names of the recipients
may be found in another column.
At the mealing of the Commissioners of Health
yesterday, reports from the Health Wardens were
presented, reprencuting the streets to be cleaner
than they have bceu for a long period. The City Inepectnr
was authorized to employ three persons as
inspectors of slaughter houses, and was directed to
report to the Mayor all vessels having on board
decayed fruit or vegetables, and the Mayor was empowered
to have them destroyed or removed from
the city.
The private advices received by the mails of the Arafcla
were more encouraging to the cotton trado than the
published accounts. Somehow or otber a sentiment seemed
to pei vace business circles in Etgland, and which, to a
vxmstderaMe extent is participated in by merchants on
this side, that tbe present war In Italy will be of abort
duration Whether ill or well founded. It has. never.

The Next Prwldeney?The Hew Congress wtd
Um HfMb ( tlM> rnbitc Prtnlta|.
As the time approaches for active operations
for the Presidential campa'an, tbe managing politicians
and financiers on all aides are beginning
to cast a bout, lor tbe sinews of war. No party
can. save the country without money; and all
parties, more or 'ess, expect to draw their sup
plbs from tbe public treasury. In th a view one
of tbe most important prizes for Presidential parposts
will be tbe printing the new Congress,
wb c is to meet in December next, and tbe gauie
for these magnificent spo Is will involve all the
complications of the Pres dential Issue.
Under the last Congress, from the pressure of
tbe late finaucia revulsion and other causes, the
pi inting of the two houses was a short crop.
That great lobby engineer, Cornelius Wendell,
bought out tbe parties elected to do the work,
and others parties interested in it, at a liberal
hgore to tbe sellers, in expectation of heavy p.o
tits. But what with the regular purch ? money,
and the extra bonuses, shares, peri, mtes and
contributions, drawn from h kets of Wendell i
to satisfy his lobby associate, is believed that
they Ueeced him slid disgusted him, not less than
he ?u disgusted and disappointed with the printing
retrenchments of both houses. The job was
a bad investment to Wendell in every way; and
if we may believe one half that we hear about it
there will yet be a precious row in the final set
element of this biyiueea.
But the revulsion o! 1857 has been overcome;
we are in the midst of flush times again, and as
"a new bnom sweeps clean'' we may expect a
clean sweep ol all the available spoils of the
public printing by this new Congress. Each
r.rai ch of Congress elects its own pridher. The
House will be opposition, the Senate democratic;
.nd as campaign funds on all sides will be
wanted, so all sides will be disposed to the
largest liberality. Thus, tbe printing of the approaching
Congress will be a glorious harvest
We dure say that, including both Qou^s, and
ibe long and the short session, tbe gross amount
of the costs to the treasury will be two millions
ot dollars?and it inay be two mill'ons and a
naif. Ot this sum, all told, the net profits will
probably exceed half a million of hard cash.
Dividing this sum at the rate 01 $350,000 for the
House, and $150,000 for the Senate, the reader
will perceive that the printer elected by the
House will have a splendid margin for lobby
ices, chares and party contributions, while the
Senate printer can afford to spare from fifty to
ceventy-iive thousand dollars in similar disbursements,
and still make a good thing of it
We are not, therefore, surprised to leirn that
he game for these printing spoils, on all sides,
has actively opened, and that the venerable John
C. Rives, of the Washington Globe, the Chevalier
Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, the Chevalier
Heies, of the Washington States, the ind fa-igable
Wendell, and the modest and unsophisticated
General George Washington Bowman, of the
Constitution, are already in the ring. Forney,
rrom his hot rebellion against the adnunis
ration, and with his little Pennsylvania
squad of democratic bolters at bis back,
doubtless counts upon the House printing from
a lubion in his behalf between the repub
licans of that body and the anti-Lecouptou
democrats. And, in truth, as matters now stand,
he has no formidable competitor, unless that
knowing old fox of the Globe may be counted one.
It is whispered about, however, that Weudell
has a certain document in his pocket, signed by
the President, in reference to the printing or the
ate CoDgrcss, which Is considered by its holder
as first rule capital for future operations, aud
that he intends to put this document in the
market to the highest bidder in reference to the
printing of the Senate and the House. For the
House printing he will probably reveal the
iuj stem's 01 true wonaenui document, and blow
up to the moon the administration and the democracy;
and for the Senate printing he may
contend to keep his secret, and bleed freely for
the democratic cause. 'When a great prize is at
stake your old lobby campaigner is not the man
to stick at trifles.
The Chevalier lleise is in a very bad way. I
For a long time he has had his heart fixed alter- i
nately upon the printing of the Senate and the I
House. First, as a rampant fire-eater and filibuster,
his game was the Southern majority of
the Senate; next, as a.Douglas organ, uudi r the
editorial charge of Pryor, the Chevalier He is*
turned his attention to the democratic popular
sovereignty balance of power in the House; but
now, Pryui having retired, and Douglas having
issued hie ultimatum for the Charleston Convention,
Heies is ail adiift again. Between the two
btooIs at the Capitol we are afraid he will full to
the ground, after having exhausted all his profits
from the public printing of some years ago as
joint proprietor with Father Ritchie of the old
Washington Union.
All the newspapers at Washington, In one way
or another, depend upon the public treasury,
and cannot live without its suDoort The JV,t
Hanoi Era (republican) may be au exception; but
even that paper, we suspect, lives largely upon
its expectations of the spoils at Borne future day.
It may be involved, too, in this general scramble
ior the llousc printing of the new Congress, and
thuB Forney's calculations may perhaps fall
short. Bat, from the proceedings of the last
Congress upon this Bubject, there is great danger
that henceforth all thc&e spoils and plunder
organs at Washington will be swamped by the
equally hungry and more numerous sharks and
scavengers of the country newspaper press, or
that these Washington lobby editors, like
Wendell, will be compelled to pay a very high
price for the whistle. The books are still open.
Washington Batons?Among oar Washington
rumors it is stated that Mr. Buchanan, in a
recent conversation touching the Charleston Convention,
taid that, though not a candidate himself,
he w ould have something to say in that
body, and that be considered llobert J. Walker
about as good as any other mau named for the
succession. Of course the idea thus suggested,
thut Mr. Buchanan intends to play off Walker
against Douglas and Wise at Charleston is absurd,
from the simple fact that it if utterly out of
the question that Gov. Walker can accept the
Charleston nomination on any terms, or the
nomination in lfiuO of any other party ior the
White House. His hands are full of more im
portant business, comprehending Pacific railiv&CU,
California quicksilver mines, Western
town lots, Wall street stocks, &e, do., and these
things will take up all his time at least for two
years to come, and be can't let them go.
That the President will be able to speak with
some authority to the Charleston Convention no
sensible man can doubt; and if he ever so speak,
wc may rely upon It that it will be to silence the
Fectiofal disorganize!* and nulliOers of the party.
Zhi Mr. isuiLuiiun is in no butty. Ho will wait
patently the developments of the new Congrf^

The hate Wholesale Re I broad Murder, y
It seldom falls to the lot of a journalist to ^
record a more appalling calamity than that ){
which occurred at midnight on Monday last, oil ^
the Michigan Southern Railroad, near South Bend, {
Indiana, by which nearly fifty persons were n
killed and forty or fifty wounded. The imrnedi- ,]
ate cause of he di* U.r was the giving way of v
a culv rt some twenty feet deep and fifty feet
acr< through which chasm the whole train of n
six us plunged down into the rushing torreut Q
lh-L.uth, breaking into fragments, and hurling f
m unfortunate passengers into the stream, some f)
to struggle snccessfully with the waters in the ^
darkness ol the night, some crushed to death (|
instantly, and many to rise oat of the gathering ^
flood no more.
ft
Vhi? rlssfailn rtf this hftrrihln ftfftiir nrHlnVi arts
give iu another column, are calculated to make f
manj a stout heart quail; but they famish at ^
the same time a melancholy illustration of the ai
| criminal sporting with human life so ofteu pre- (]
seuted by the managers of our railroad liuee. a
Although in this case the direct cause of the accident
may be attributed to the breaking away t
of an embankmeut by the floods caused by recent
heavy rains, it does not follow that those
who bad charge of the rood should be held irm 1
sponsible. Indeed, it appears that the insecurity r
of that portion of the road which gave way was r
known to many, and the lamentable catastrophe
which has occurred had been predicted. There- v
fore the company should be held to a strict ac. a
couutahUity for all the misery to which this sad a
u 13air has given rise. c
It is worse than absurd to call disasters of this i;
kind "accidents." In almost every instance they i
are the result of culpable carelessness on the c
part of the companies or their agents, and they i
should be so dealt with. Notliiug lees than the c
demolition of a train by lightning should be set i
down to the providence of God. All calamities \
arisirg from other causes are traceable to bumau t
agency?to that recklessness of life and limb 1
which so fatally characterizes the employes oi i
railroad companies in this country. In almost s
every case like the present we find that a miser- s
able economy in keeping the roads in repair is t
the direct cause of the misfortune. No company L
bus a right to start a train freighted with pre- u
ck>uB lives along a road unless they are cer- c
tain that every mile of it is in safe condi- w
tion for travelling upon. It is no excuse to b
o(T?t, after the damage is done, that rains or floods u
have injured a portion of the track. It is idle r
to say that the conductors of the Michigan p
Southern road in this iate case did not know t
that heavy rains had fallen and that the lauds t
outlying the track were flooded. They must v
have known it, because another train had passed <
the fatal spot only a few hours before, happily t
without accident; aad they were perfectly inex- r
e usable in permitting the second one to pass t
over the same track until they were assured that t
there was no danger. <j
It is fearful to review the record of railroad
disasters which have occurred in the United
States for the past six years. Here is a terrible a
catalogue or bloody tragedies which have e
paralyzed the public miud for a brief time, aud t
then have been forgotten save by the surviving n
friends of the victims whose hearths have been n
made desolate. Since 1853 the following rail- b
road disasters bave occurred in this country, and b
in how many instances have the companies been F
held accountable for the lose of life? We will b
venture to say hardly in a single case, except b
pecuniarily; and it is gratifying to know that tl
they have been mode to pay heavily In many 1
cases by the just verdicts ol' juries:? ' a

maimed, and all "by accident," we are coolly I t
assured. Some of these disasters were attended
with nnueual horrors, even for a railroad calami- r
ty, always marked by appalling incidents. For v
example, the disaster on the North Pennsylvania B
Railroad, July 17, 1856, occurred to an excur- v
eion train of children belonging to the Catholic r
schools of Philadelphia, which came into col- r
lision with another train, and converted a day ^
devoted to joy and festivity into one of agony v
and death. So also the collison on the Susque- c
hanna Railroad, within nine miles of Baltimore, t
on the 4th of July, 1854; both trains were filled j
with people who bad started for pleasure, and j
met only mutilation and despair.
It is remarkable that out of the seventeen j
railroad calamities recorded above, three should c
have occurred on the Michigan Southern road.
? ' 1
a fact which tells very badly for the management
of that line.
The fact is that juries are too lenient and the
public too indifferent in cases of this kind. 14
the parties to whose negligence these disasters
conld be traced were punished, as they oaght to
be, for the crime of manslaughter, and the railroad
companies were mulcted severely for every
damage done to life and limb, we should have
fewer calamities to record and lees wholesale
murders to deplore.
Movements ok Summer Travellers.?The recent
"heated term" has had its usual effect upon
the population of the metropolis, and Broadway
displays the most extraordinary Influx of provincial
toilets and a comparative depletion of the
astonishing turn-out of the beau rwjndc. Our
Southern brethren, particularly those from Old
Virginia, the Carolinaa and Louisiana, are pouring
in upen us in great numbers, and much to
the profit of the Broadway shopkeepers and proprietors
of hotels frequented by the fashionable
world. The tide of summer travel has set in
with unuEual briskness. Boats and trains for
the North and East are driving n. great passenger
trade. Saratoga and the inland watering places

sen came the fever of change, consummated in

This is true not only with regard to
Europe. It is a necessity that is fast coming
ipon us, if it has not already arrived. The

We ore shooting np with wonderful rapid

lolonies preparing to drop from the parent stem,

more than one-half of all Chnsteodotn. f

the Cburcb property has been secularized tu Sardioia,
and supposing it is also true that Napoleou .
ill meditates the secularization of the States ot
tbe Church after the fashion of Napoleou L, is thu?
t cully robbery, and not the restitution of plunder; .
or would it injure true religion or damage the
moral, social uud physiri.il condition of the people ,
among whom tbe revolution may take place ; 01
lather, on the contrary, would it uot promote the
'x-gt interests of piety and morality, aud advauct
be national prosperity of this beautiful country
r?u long trodden down in tbe name of religiou? .
The question Is, how did the Church get thai .
property ? Did she come by it honestly, aud is it .
'or the good of society as at present constituted
hat the Church should continue to possess it ?
Without hesitation, we answer in the negative.
It is called "the patrimony of St. Peter." Now,
Si. Peter never possessed a foot of it, neither di i
St. Paul. Su Peter, the fisherman, was so pooi
'bat when e Cripple asked him for alms here- *
plied, "Silver and gold have I none;" and w>- r
know that be was never worth a dollar at Rom"
having been crucified there with bis head down
by the Pagan Emperor. Su Peter was content i
*un a spiritual eouuuion, tor Christ bad told
him bis kingdom was uot of tbia world Tb>- 1
successors of St. Peter have for tea centuries c
elaimtd a temporal throne. The ioheri- t
ance ol St. Peter would be poverty arito
ufftiing and martyrdom, not a temporal -over *
ignty and extensive dominions. The State "
of the Church are nut the patrimony of Si
Peter, but the patrimony of Pepin and bis sou c
Charlemagne, who conquered it from the Loin- t
bards. Iu reward for mis the former was an c
uoinUd KiDg, and the latter, In the year 801) r
crowned "Emperor of the West," at Milan, with f
the Iron crown. After the death of Charle j.
rnagno the Popes improved on his grant, and s
disposed of all the kingdoms of Europe. The 1
mutual obligations between Charlemagne and 0
the Pope form the important link of ancient ano g
uioaeru, 01 civil una ecclesiastical lrstory. If ti r
modern Emperor of France, deeming that the {
gift has been abused in these lat'er ages, and y
ibat it no longer serves its Original purpose 1
hikes it back, or rather places its disposal in the #
hands of the people?the true source of legiti
mate power?where is the robbery or the wrong
and who feels aggrieved? u
II this be robbery and wrong, then the act of *
Charlemagne was a greater robbery, and the p
act of the Pope in receiving it was as bad as that o
of the royal robber. But in that barbarous age <
the policy of Cbarlemagnc was beneficial, and 4
tended to civilization. In the present age th. *
Pope's temporal dominion stands in the way o j,
the progress of civilization. The Church, as a a
humanizing, progressive institution, had its day u
of utility in the world. It was once in the van b
of civilization. But it has outlived its influence ^
for good. At this day mankind are no j
longer led by the Church, whi:b is behind the age *
?the fostil remains of past generations. All who sl
are deserving of the name of men think lor them T

The temporal dominion of the Pope, therefore,
and church property, must give way before the ?
advancing spirit of the times and be turned to *
more uBeful account. T
The time iB gone by when the Pope, in imifca- ^
tion of the Devil tempting Christ on the Mount( E
can tempt men by saying, "Behold, all the king ft
docus of the earth are mine?these will I give P
you if you will fall down and worship me.' *
The time is gone by when the Pope can compel G
kings to hold his stirrups and kiss his toe, and j
can kick otf their crowns as they kneel in order to p
show his power. He is now dependent on other r
km us lor the tenure of bin own kitiirdiim ?n<i
either their power or their will bee me wautiog to
preserve it In the present century the Pophas
been three times in exile, and within fitly *
years he has been for a period of five years re- <j
moved from Italy and entirely stripped of his ?
temporal dominion. The Catholic religion dnl *
not fare the worse in consequence. Pius IX. is 11
probably the last Pope who will ever reign as a 'j
temporal prince. c
The Pope's ancient patrimony of farms and *
houses were transformed by Pepin and Charlemagne
into the temporal dominion of cities and
provinces. Aod for more than seven hundred "
years tbiB nucleus gathered around it by do c,
giecs oue third of tho property of Christendom ti
Iu Mexico at this moment one half of the pro- "
perty is owned by the Church, which is the fruitful r
source of all the misery of that country. How
has the Church ucqu red all this property ? By ti
scaring weak and dying men?by issuing scrip ?
guaranteeing " a title clear to mansions in the ^
skies" in exchange for fair lands and magnlQ
cent palaces here below. Bat the represents u
tions were fraudulent, the scrip was bogus, and w
i be ecclesiastical corporation had no estates to w
give in the kingdom of Heaven. Their stock is J1
no better than shinplasters, or the worthless issue nc
of auy of the swindling joint Btock companies <5r ?
Wall street. *
The revolution of the Reformation, the Ameri j
;an Revolution, (by which civil and religious
liberty was established on a broad basis in the
New World), and the French Revolution, which,
following in its train, smote despotism in the ^
Old World, overthrew the ?ystera of church pro- ^
perty in its strongholds one thousand years after *>
it was established. Had it not become utterly a
rotten and corrnpt it could not have fallen as it
did. What remains of it in Italy and Moxion? p
