We have not, heretofore, taken the trouble to pay aoy attention to the ego tistical remarks of Every Evening and its brilliant reporters that ita accounts of the several meetings of the peaeh growers held at this place were the only full and correct ones, &c., and we should not notice them now were it not that wo consider such notice due to the gentleman who has fnraiahed us from week to. week with the report Of these meetings. The Trasscbift has had every week not only a full, bnt a per fectly correct acoonnt of the proceeding« of all these çonyentions.

We have thus briefly considered the growth of the railway system of the republic ; the mode in which many of them have been bnilt at the publia ex lands bave been pense ; how the public squandered on them; how fictitious capital has been created by issuing ''watered - ' stock for the purpose of con aling the imposition of the road upon the publié ; how that which is a mon opoly^ itself bal been made a more odious: monopoly by the consolidation process, and how those corporations have had committed .to them the right to tax our /armera and the whole oom mnnity without being responsible to any one. Conoeding all the good salts that have been brought about by the aueoeeaful growth of our railways, it must be admitted by the thinking men of tbe country, that onr railroads are aa much of a danger as a conveni ence; anti that unless they are soon subjected to some system of reg by which they can be compelled rights of the people to whom their existence, they will be ce of the if èf re ulation to re* pect tbe they owe come not only sources of danger, bnt the most annoying tyrannies that have ever enrsed onr land. Nominally, the railroads of the United States are acting under the tow of the land ; but in re ality, "they make themselves superior to it ; and when occasion snht them they do net hesitate to wiolate and defy it. Their sole object is to wring money from the farmers and others who are obliged to ose the road ; and the publie, for whose convenience the road ia «ap posed to have. been built it denied the simplest privileges. Scaroely » day paae^thet some indivi4aal'a rights not violated by theae railroad e panies, and if tbe fbjnred party ia bold enough to eirry tbe matter before the conrts, he has a hard task before him t0 obtain tha gimplest justice. He haa to encounter the immense power of the rooration backed up by ita wealth, d the ohSnees are ten to one against him ' He will either be beaten by the money of the company, or he . will be forced to drag his case along from court to coart at rainons expense, until' per haps, he abandon* it in despair. A fair specimen of this tyranny was recently., afforded in tbe » esse of Mr.< John Golej**n, of Providence, Rhodt! Island.^. This gentleman was shame fully maltreated and thrown from a train on the New York & New Haven Railroad, thereby injuring him for life, merely for demanding to ride over the road with a ticket he had bought and paid for some days previous, instead of purchasing a new one. After having fought his case for several years throngn several courts, in every one of which he obtained « verdict, the ease was set. tied in the ooqrt of last resort by a ver dict of nearly four thousand dollars in Mr. Coletpans favor. Daring the pro, grets of the cate through the charts, one of the leading railroad officials ar rogantly announced to Mr. Coleman tha jpolioy of his corporation ia snoh oases, and. the golioy is the flame-of each and railroad company in Und.

It was on a very dark night. One of the passengers bad lost his ticket? Tha conductor refused to accept his explanation, but demanded that he pay his fare a second time, or leave the train. He refused te oornply with these conditions, whereupon, he was hnstled from the train on to the platform, but no attempt was made to stop the tfain, which at this moment swept on to the open bridge which crosses tbe Hackensack river. Another push from the ruffians in charge of the train sud by it the passenger was thrown to thé floor of the bridge. The momen tum imparted to him by the train mgde it impossible for him to secure a-foot hold upon the bridge He rolled help lessly over the edge of the bridge and fell with a splash into tbe river below —whose dark waters closed over him, and he was seep no more. No one was to blame. No one was punished Tbe murdered map had dared to refuse to pay twice for his ride, and his life was the forfeit to the railway oempany. In anether instance a man who had em barked on a train was ,oo mach intoxi cated either to pay his fore or to reply to the questions of the conductor.» The train was stopped and he wa# thrust from it a long way from aoy station» In his helpless oonditioq be staggered on to the track and fell helpless upon it in a drunken stupor: An hoar later an express train oeroe thundering along, ran over' him a* be lay on the railway and mSPgled hie, body almost beyond recognition. In The Slate of Vermont, not long ago. an old lady and her. daughter, believing that tickèts are 1 good until used» took passage on a train in the night time, apd securing births in the aleapipg car, made themselves comfortable until morning. About mid night they were aroused by tbe conduc tor, who bed discovered that their tickets were two days old He pro nounced the tickets worthless sod de manded their fare. They declined to i iay a second time ; yet, in spite of the ateness of the honr and e heavy rain that waa falling, the conductor com pelled these two frail women to leave the train and seek shelter from the storm and sold as beat some near« home, oase whioh eania before onr courts last autumn.

Bnt to me mention a That «9$ certain 4#r light^jfotl dering along, strtlek a carriage in which rode the family of the owner of that dwelling returning home, and mangled and wounded the occupants of the vehicle; and, in-the twinkling of an eye turned a happy household into one of sorrow and pain. And yet. these people, although they brought suit to recover their damages, were turned away empty and without redress. The truth is, that railroad oompaniea having learned to disregard individual rights have come to disregard the value of humau life. They kill and maim and mangle with utter recklessness, and insolently deny the right of the victims to seek redress for their in juries. We find railroad companies careless of the comfort of their passengers. A traveller purchasing a ticket is promis ed a seat in the cars Frequently the cars are too few to accommodate the passengers, and oftentimes many of them are obliged to stand during an entire journey. Should an injured per son in such case make complaint he would be laughed at. Many lines are supplied with "Palace" cars and "Drawing Room" care, for which paa songera are required to pay an extra fare. The roads using them, however, do not leave it to the discretion of the traveller whether he will occupy them. They compel their use by providing aa insufficient number of ordinary cars-; or cars that are so filthy and uncom fortable that persons gladly pay extra to escape from them. Who is there that has trsvelled, but can tell an elo quant tale of loss aud injury in the mat ter of baggage ? It is safe to say that thousands of dollars are lost annually, by the travelling public in the matter of trunks and portmanteaus broken or injured by the railroad employees, But, travellers are not the only victims of the company's disregard of private rights. The farmers and others com- of prising the vast army of shippers of freight throughout the United States, represent another class of sufferers ; and each man of this class could tell his tale of individual wrong and outrage. But railroad companies are hnmble and plausible enough until the charter of is granted and the road boilt. Then they do not hesitate to defy the people, and the power of thé State. They have no little fear ef the courte, and they un derstand the art of managing and man ipulating legislatures. Nay, even the National Congress is regarded as being subject to their influence fvo aa continued.] of For the Tramcript. Soviet Ferer. Mr. Editor : A few words from me, through the medium of your paper, pro bably will not be «misa. Onr tranquil little town has been thrown into nndae excitement by the appearance of scarlet fever within the past tws or three weeks, which has lad people to talk, and talk they will ! and their ideas are as various as the colors of the rainbow and as num erous as thé stars of Heaven. I Having been connected with these twOicases, ef whieb I shall apeak,which h|tve caused this tumultuous outcry, and whieb he* been the source of different notions advanced, new ideas springing up, and which' hàs allowed them an op portunity of passing their opinions and rendering their diagnosis according to their own views, based upon hearsay, and not ^pon things seen. A word or two then, in the way of elucidation,will not, I think, be common-place. The prevailing idea, as I undestrand, in con nection with tbe oases, and that which so engrosses the minds of the people, is that these two boys died from being green. Where this can't tell, for I have K isoned by Paria :a originated, I asked Mr. A. and he says Mrs. B. told him ; ask Mrs. B. and she heard it frofo Mr. C. and Mr. Somebody told Mr. C. ; and to find ont who this Mr. Somebody to. form« one of those un searchable and impenetrable mysteries of life that would make Zenocrates or Aristofia swoon undèir the attempt. I will briefly take up the two oases and mention, each in turn, the symptoms thalt actually did oceur, and then pace my opinion upon tho caanslitiee in con nection w|tthe rumored report. Case 1. Harry 0., aged 6, previous health good, was taken od June 80th with vomiting, alight sore throat and fever; tbe next day the throat symp toms and fover had greatly increased, the pulse was high but weak,—-very characteristic of tbe complaint,—the tongue coated whitish-brown, delirium had set in and, at tbe expiration of the day, a red rash made ita appearance on the neck, which spread gradually over the rest of the body. As the disease advanced the eruption assumed a pur plish haa, tbe delirinm ran high, the anginöse or throat symptoms beca greatly augmented, the whitiah-hrown coating of the tdngqe grfldn»Hy cleared off, leaving tha tongne dark-red, which finally turned purple, then black ; the glands of the neck became enormously enlarged, the mupoqs membrane of the throat highly inflamed, apd lastly gan grene and sloughing took place, and then the little sufferer entered into another world. When we t«ke these symptoms and earefolly oompare them with onr pathology, we see at onoe, that it is dearly a well-marked and well defined cue of malignant aoarlet fever. And to be more sure, we take into ac count that there is at this time an epi demic of the eame disease prevailing all down this peninsula and in onr neigh boring towm Tf this |s not | axes of soarlet fever, then I say onr pathology nothing but a anbtle mass of unrelia ble material, that should be eolleoted into bonfire heaps and burned as a stigma upon the efforts and endeavors of soientiffe pathologists, not only of the present day but also of the days of yore. flamed ; eb t'pnrpleitfa me Case 2 Tommy C-, sged 3, weak delicate eonstitutiou, was taken while hls brother wee still s corpse iu the house on Sunday morning, July 4tb, with severe vomiting, said bis throat hurt him, and within an hour from the time he was taken, was lyiug unoon teieus en the settee; fever set in, head extremely hot, delirious ; this condition lasted until 9 P. M-. when convulsions made their appearsuoe, whioh ocased for boar or two, bathe was quite délirions tbs meantime. Abont 11 P. M. 4tey set in again and continued until lift ceased $boi)t 4 o'clock next morning. ongne tv«l slightly coqted iu the centre, tho edge sud tip quite red at first, but daring tbe night turned black, pulse «as the- same as in tbe other esse, high but weak, and the throat in «boat 3 o'clock next morning ~ rash began tn make its ap pearance on tha neck and shoulders, which ramiiued upon the surface; aq ! bow Inter nod )jfe «as goo* That the an to in These are startling cases, I must con fess, and I again express my sympathy for the bereaved, but let us consider for a moment whether or not theso little boys came to their death by Paris green. The first case is excluded en tirely from the above notion, by the full development of a clear case of scar let fever. In the second case, that little boy, together with its brother and a number of ether children, went into a neighbor's potato patch on the Monday previous to either of their sickuess, and it is not known whether or uot that the child was in there any more that week or up to Friday. On Saturday it was not, for on the morning of that day it was sent to its aunt's, six or eight doors A above, and it went from there dowu to a small house below where it lived, dar ing the day, and then back to its aunt's again ; remained there during the night of and returned to ita home on Sunday morning; had been home but a short time before it was taken siok. At the above places the occupants never had any Paris green about their premises, and in faot •* Never seen any," so the child did not get any thsre. If ha had taken Paris green he mast have taken it previous to Saturday. Now, allow ing that he was in the patch as late aa Friday, the elapse of time from then until the symptoms set in, was too long for such a deadly poison to remain in the system without action, especially in this weak, delicate little boy. Ör sup poae the quantity was so »mail that it took that length of time for it to act, then certainly the symptoms would not have been so severe at the beginning as those that actually did occur. Does Paris green produce an eruption upon the skin ? Does it produce that pecu liar character of tbe pulse—high but weak ? Does it produce such intense fever? Does it produce disooloration of tbe neck alone, and other portions of tha body exempt from its influence ? There was no burning or uncomfortable feeling in the stomach before tbe attack; there was no disooloration or decorapo sitiou of tbe stomach, indicative of Paris green poisoning ; there was no ooldness of the body except the hands and feet, which lasted bnt a very short time and towards tha close of tbe case ; there was no clammy perspiration, and in fact there was no marked symptoms of Paris green poisoning except the vomiting and convulsions ; and are they alone auffi oient for ns to render a verdict of pois ening without other concomitant symp toms? Certainly not, for these symptoms occur in many diseases—in inflammation of the bowels, of the brain, of the thor acic vicera, &c —and are frequent pre monitory symptoms of tbe invasion of the eruptive fevers. And so, without other symptoms correctly, any of tbe above diseases. I ean answer a question that I have been asked, "why the other meqtbera of tbe family did not take the disease if it was scarlet fover," by simply point ing to numerous cases of the same kind, where other members of the family did not take the disease, not only in scarlet fever but also in other highly contagious diseases, as small-pox, measles, yellow fever, &o., and will give as a. reason that the system, by a good state of health ia fortified against disease, and is better able to ward it off, and espe cially in those of strong, robust consti tutions. of A. , we oould call it, and in Dr. A great deal has been said about "black tongue fover," but that is not any more a disease, than vomiting and convulsions. It is merely a symptom, for we have it in all bad eases of typhoid, typhna, typbo-pneumonia, and in a word, in all the asthenic or low grades of fevers; and it is just as ab surd to call a case with that oonditien one thing as the other,without bringing to. bear other conditions. Now, let us for a moment glaUoe at tbe.,way and manner by which tbe ma lignant form of this disease, scarlet fever, makes its attack, and willquofe one or two eases from prominent authors. Tannen says: "In many tnatanees, this malignant form of scarlet fever -termi nates fatally on the third or fourth day, and sometimes even within twenty-four hour» of the 1 first appearance of the symptom* • It is always a disease of extreme danger and only patients who possess a vigorous constitution have any chance of surviving it." Meigs says : The symptoms which mark the in vasion of grave (malignant) cases of scarlet fever, though sufficiently alike in all to show the unity of tbe disease, differ very materially of severity in different Bet they are most violent and dangerous, indeed appalling ip their character. From the first they deolare the immi nent danger of the attack. The onset iq some is instantaneous." "A boy six years old, whose sister had heon sick for a week with a mild attack, went to bed well. morning, he was seized with vomiting and purging, paleness and coolness» of the skin, and great exhaustion. At nipe o'plopk he was drowsy and dull, the skit) was pale and cool, and the pulse extremely rapid ; at 12 m. he was comatose aqd had a convulsion. From this time ho oontioued oomatose until he died at 6 P M. of the same day, after an Illness of fifteen hours." Other oases I oonld quote but this is snffioient to illustrate tbe ease. Then, taking everything into consideration, the manner of attack, the fact of his brother lying low with the malignant form, in a small house, sleeping in an adjoining room with a door open be tween them, and every breath he breathed took in tho obnoxious poison from his brother'« system, his weak atitntion, and thereby his inability to ward off disease, and the symptoms of the oase whioh have been oarefully scru tinized and compared, has settled in my mind boyond all reasonable doubt the second, as well as the first, died from the effects of scarletina poison, or scarlet fever. or to the the said by Jaly St it tbe the to of of to And the and r ■s 1 «f aa to their degree cases.
