The terrible bridge accident by which one mAn was killed outright, another fatally mangled and three other injured more or less seriously, was the tragedy of which all talked yesterday. It is not alone the men death of Henry Supple, whose feats of daring in connection with the laying of bridge cables have made him famous all the world over, nor the wounding of his three fellow workmen, though these events are sad enougb, that have so excited public attention. The fact is, try to disguise it as we public confidence in the bridge and may, the men who are building it, has received a severe shock. We have been repeatedly assured by the directors and trustees of the Bridge that it has been made strong enough to bear the weight they have calculated it would be required to sustain. Hitherto the erection of this gigantic structure has been wonderfully free from accidents.

Yet here we have one of the cables snapping asunder when in the process of being laid, under a tension twenty-five tons less than that which the engineers calculated it could sustain. The trustees have told us that the engineers engaged in the work are SO thoroughly competent, and that their tests and calculations have been made with such minute accuracy, that there was no possibility of their being mistaken and that any conclusion at which they arrived might be accepted with the most implicit confidence. It may be presumed that the cable which broke yesterday and all its attachments were submitted to this minute testing process, and yet it snapped asunder when subjected to a comparatively slight tension. It does not seem to be yet fully determined whether it was the cable itself that broke, or one of its wire attachments. However this may be, nothing will satisfy the people but the most thorough and searching examination into the causes of this accident, and the application of -every test known to science, to the whole structure.

When we consider the precious human lives that will be intrusted to this bridge of wire ropes, it is surely not too much to say that no attempt should be made to shield the guilty, whether of negligence or ignorance, if any such there be, in searching for the cause of this fatal accident. A tremendous responsibility rests upon those who Are conducting this enterprize. The difficulty of making correct tests is increased a thousand-fold by the fact, -that there is no existing basis upon which to make calculations. The longest span in any suspension bridge ever built in the world up to the time of the erection of the Brooklyn Bridge, WAS from one thousand to eleven hundred feet. Up to that length the amount of tension a wire will bear, can be calculated with infallible accuracy because it has been submitted to actual experiment.

Now, the span of the Brooklyn Bridge is sixteen hundred feet-five hundred feet longer than the longest bridge ever built. The tension in the wire increases in the ratio of a geometrical progression a3 its length increases. That is, supposing the tension in a single foot of wire to be a fixed quantity, this quantity must be multiplied by a certain number for the next foot added, the result multiplied by the same quantity for the next foot and so on ad infinitum. When not merely the tension in a single wire but the tension in a complex system of wires must be taken into account and when to this must be edded the calculation of the superincumbent weight this system of wires will bear, the problem becomes one of the most intricate and difficult that ever exercised human ingenuity. In view of the terrible accident of yesterday which must have been the result either of a mistake in the calculations or negligence in the tests, is it too much to ask not only that the causes which led to this accident be thoroughly and impartially investigated, but that the whole system of wires should be submitted to a re-testing with all the appliances with which science is acquainted.

There is another matter in connection with the bridge to which we desire to call the attention of the trustees. The elder Roebling, who planned and partly exc. cuted the bridge. stated in the most explicit terms that it would not be possible to run cars on the bridge except on. rails six feet apart, as with a narrower track there would be imminent danger of the CATS being blown over during the stormy winds that often prevail in this climate.

Mr. Roebling's opinion has been confirmed by several experienced engineers. Yet in the face of these opinions, rendered by the most eminent experts in this country, the trustees and directors have decided to adopt the ordinary street caguage of four feet eight and one-half inches. In doing this the trustees have taken the responsibility of setting aside the conclusions of these eminent engineers, and adopting a plan certainly more remunerative because retsie. of acon nphshment and of adaptability to existing facilities of travel, but not safe in the opinion of those who ought to know.

best. Were the trustees justified in adopting this course? It tuey have discovered that Mr. Roebling's calouNations were wrong with regard to so simple 8 matter as the guage of a railroad track, where is our assurance that he was right in matters infinitely more complicated and intricate? This matter must be explained. Mr. Roebling was wrong or the Either trustees were WEONR, If Mr.

Roebling WAS wrong how shall we place confidence in his theories according to which the Bridge has been built? It Mr. Roebling was right and the trustees are wrong, then they have been guilty of deciding upon a plan which may any day burl thousands of their fellow citi. zens into Let them explain. We write thus, not from any spirit of hostility to the bridge enterprise nor to the men who are conducting it; but simply because we East desire river to see the bridge spanning the a great success, If it is to be a success, we cannot afford to take any risks. Publio contidence baa been shaken and noth.

ing will restore it but the frankest explanation and the most thorough investigation. The men who will restore public confidence, will win not only fame but the, undying gratitude of the people of two great ulties. No one should be hasty in coming to a conclusion regarding yesterday's accident, til all the facts have been made public, and what we desire to do in this article is to sbow the directors of the bridge the necessity of disclosing all the facts in the case. One word more. Tho debt of Brooklyn has been increased by nearly six millions in order to build this bridge.

Whether it will be a financial success is yet to be determined. But one thing we do know, and that is, that the burthen on the people is almost greater than they can bear. Whatever money has yet to -be borrowed, should be borrowed at 8 rate of interest not exceeding five per and as fast as the city debt can be refunded it should be done at the same rate. The National Government can borrow all the money it wants at four and four and a half per cent. The credit of Brooklyn is good; why should it not borrow at the same this there is great relief for the taxpayers, if the city authorities will accept our suggestion.

NAPHTHA ON EXHIBITION. A grand scene was presented on Thursday evening in garden grounds surrounding the mansion of Mr. A. S. Barnes, the philanthropic and publio spirited publisher, located on Clinton, Waverly and Atlantic avenues.

It was the second annual garden party given for the benefit of the Brooklyn Diet Dispensary, a useful public charity in which prominent and publio spirited citizens have greatly and very properly interested themselves. Among those who have taken an active part in promoting this worthy object are Mr. Francis B. Fisher -and wife -the well known Alderman of the Twenty-third Ward, and now President of the Common Council of this city. On Monday last Mr.

Fisher left his seat in the Common Council Chamber, and, calling Alderman O'Roilly to assume the chair, he took the floor, and delivered a most eloquent oration on the excellence of naphiia gas, descanting in most fitting phrase on the virtues and public-spirited enterprise of the distinguished ex-Senator, John W. Coe, who, solely for the public good and on strictly humanitarian grounds, was devoting himself to the advancement of the new and grand illuminator of the future, naphtha gas. Our reporter, being limited to a given space, and evidently regarding this speech as all stuff didn't report it. We have chided him for this neglect, and charged him particularly never to omit so important a speech hereafter. Well, it appears that Mr.

and Mrs. Fisher took an active part in the garden party, and among the other exhibits made, were three naphtha lamps, under the special care of ex-Senator John W. Coe. Our reporter quietly and in a considerate way referred to this display in these words: A BRILLIANT APPEARANCE. Ex-State Senator J.

W. Coe contributed his share to the general illumination by placing three of his naphtha lamps on the grounds, and at times he explained the modus operandi of the machines to small audiences of interested spectators. The Eagle reporter, evidently regarding this display as of extra importance, gave the following account of this part of the entertainment: A CHARACTERISTIO EXHIBITION, Some surprise was occasioned among the company, as well as the committees, by the introduction of three street lamps, containing the naphtha burning fluid, into the park, evidently for the purpose of advertising it. The lamps were in a bunch on the terrace near the rouidence of Mr. Barnes.

They bore he following large placard: among the first. Under the circumstances, and seeing the Republican "B.s" all voting one way, he naturally concluded that as 8 good Democrat he could not do better than follow Blackburn of Kentucky, whose name immediately preceded his own on the list. This, at least, is a reasonable hypothesis, and the most creditable to Mr. Bliss that we can think of just now. If we are correct, we would suggest that whenever Mr.

Bliss finds himself in a similar quandary again he might escape the risk of being placod in such a questionable position as he now occupies, by consulting the columns of the He has done good service in local affairs, and we are sorry to find his name figuring in such sorry company AS that of Blackburn, Cox. Kimmell and Springer. THE PRESIDENT'S TITLE. The House of Representatives yesterday by a vote of 234 to 14, decided to accept the the less harmful alternative presented by Mr. Stephens in his famous letter to Clarkson N.

Potter, and practically pronounced the Potter Ta Investigation a contemptible farce. A resolution offered by a Republican member from Illinois, declaring that 1 the title of President Hayes and Vice President Wheeler bad been legally settled by the Forty-fourth Congress, that no subsequent Congress had any power to revise the action of that Congress, and any attempt to do so would be revolutionary. was adopted by a vote of 234 to 21, and the majority report of the Judiciary Committee on the Kimmell bill, declaring that there is no power in any Congress or court or tribunal to reverse the decision which made Mr. Hayes President and Mr. Wheeler Vice President, was carried with but fourteen dissenting votes.

This sound constitutional declaration, coming with such emphasis from a House in which the political opponents of the Administration have An effective working majority, disposes at once and forever of the outrageous, unconstitutional and revolutionary heresy that the legal declaration of the result of a Presidential election may be reversed at the whim of an accidental party majority in a subsequent Congress. How far the majority in the House of Representatives was influenced by the practical collapse of the Potter investigation may be inferred from the contrast between the vote by which Mr. Bui chard's resolutions were adopted yesterday and the failure of the milder declaration, offered by Carter A. Harrison, a Western Democrat, after the adoption of the Potter resolutions, to the effect that the House had DO purpose to impugn the validity of the President's title. The pressure of public opinion, also, had undoubtedly much to do towards securing this desirable change in the sentiment of the House.

The Potter resolutions took the country by surprise, but since their adoption it has become plain to the narrowest comprehension that their passage was, in a party sense, the crowning error of the session. A few extreme Tilden organs in and around New York, have been prompt to endorse and applaud the blunder, and to urge the House to follow it up by its logical consequence, but the common sense of the nation has condemned it in the most emphatic terms. the wiser Democrats recogmizing in the letters of Key and Stephens, and the action of the Harrisburg. Convention, the only position that could redeem their party from overwhelming defeat in the approaching Congressional election. The true leaders of the Democratic party are sufficiently well skilled in constitutional law to understand how antagonistic to the spirit of our institutions are the Mexicanizing schemes of the Tilden clique, and they are sufficiently -sighted to see how earnestly the country longs for peace, and how widespread and vigorous is the popular deter.mination to stamp out of existence the incendiaries who would revive the heated passions of the Presidential controversy, and even run the risk of civil war, rather than let slip a single chance of bettering their personal fortunes.

The action of the House yesterday puts the Democratic party right again, but it comes too late to undo all the mischief that has been done to the party. The country has escaped too narrowly from revolutionary turmoil and havoc to place undue confidence in a party that has shown how liable it is to be led astray at the bidding of factious intriguers. The position which the TIMES has steadily maintained from the outset is. more than justified by the vote of yesterday. Right here where from the pressure of obvious local considerations, the Tilden influence is perhaps stronger than in any other part of the United States, stronger than in New York itself, the course of the TIMEs has been subjected to some criticism, but the Democrats in Congress themselves have, by an overwhelming majority declared that the TIMES was right.

In she discussion of public questions, it is our constant aim to leave partisan and personal considerations out of sight as far as possible, and to be guided solely by thedemandsof justice and the highest public interest, and we have reason to believe that the intelligent public understands this. The most misleading and dangerous maxim that can be adopted by newspapers or individuals is that which has been so popular in times past "Our party, right or wrong;" and it is a good sign for the country, a good sign for the parties- themselves, that the news. papers which refuse to adopt such a cry are so many and so influential, and supported by such large and intelligent constituencies. While such newspapers exist and flourish, through the support of the best elements of contending parties, there need be no fear that either individual ambition, party violence or class jealousies will attain to sufficient influence to plunge the Union in the horrors of revolutionary strife. THAT WEDDING.

It was undoubtedly very foolish and very naughty of the bad little boys with tin horas to make hideous the nuptial dreams of Mr. and Mrs. Dominick on Thursday night. It was foolish, because, if intended as a punishment for any imagined offence, it overwhelmed the innocent with the guilty. Mr.

Dominick may have acted wickedly in offending the sense of propriety of the little boys and taking a young. and blooming bride to solace bis declining years; Mrs. Dominick may also have committed a heinous offence in deciding that she could be happier with a bridegroom of mature years and ample means than with a younger but comparatively penniless husband, but the innocent dwellers in the Thirteenth Ward who were. compelled to share their punishment had certainly done nothing to merit such a fate. If the propriety-avenging boys had taken care to provide a megaphone of some sort, whereby they could have poured the concentrated dissonance of their horns into the ears of the bride and bridegroom alone, their action might have been ess open to criticism, but as it was they far transcended any possible folly on the part of the especial objects of their serenade by the torture they inflicted upon thousands of deserving citizens.

But the calathumpian little. boys were naughty as well as foolish, and they ought to be soundly attended to. by muscular mammas. The fundamental maxim underlying our institutions is that which declares the inalienable right of all American citizens to make fools of themselves in their own way, 60 long as they do not thereby injuro their neighbors. It has been thought by some that the Commission de lunatico inquirendo provision was expressly designed by the Fathers to exempt old gentlemen and young ladies from the benefit of this aob, but the best authorities on Constitutional law, including Kent, Storey and Wheaton, agree that this is a mistaken assumption.

According to these authorities an old fool--we bega thousand pardons, a gentleman of advanced years and youthful sensibilities, wo meanbas a perfect right, under the Constitution, to wed the youngest and prettiost wife. Cheat money can secure; and young ladies who rogard a well filled purse as the highest inducement a wooer can offer, are at liberty to place their own price upon their charms and make the best bargain they can. Therefora, the silly little boys, with the tin horns, were not only foolish, but they were very wioked, and as we have said, they should receive A salutary lesson that the Constitution of the United States cannot be subjected to a tin horn serenade with impunity. As for the rejected sutor, who has poured the sad story of his wrongs into the expansive ear of Justice, the publie, while sympathizing with his sorrows, will be inclined to smile at his claim for pecuniary damages. There have been sensible young men similarly situated, who, after consoling themselves with the reflection that they had made a fortunate escape from marriage with an unwortby spouse, have proved the truth of the homely maxim that the sea yet contains as good fish as ever have been ensnared in the net.

Even the disconsolate hero of Locksley Hall, bewailing the inconstancy of his spider-hearted cousin Amy," and dreaming of wedlock with a thicklipped but faithful Ujijian, did not seriously contemplate a breach of promise suit against the lost Object. Nor do we think that Mr. Lewis will persevere in his action, when the first sting of his cruel disappointment has subsided. Time will prove a better solace to his grief than the six cents that might be awarded him, amid the ridicule of the public. Poor Mr.

Lewis has not yet forgotten how he loved his lost adored one. He thinks now that he bas lost five thousand dollars' worth of girl, but as the days pass on and the smiles of other lassies descend like balm upon his wounded spirit, the value of his faithless May will gradually diminish in his eyes. This is inevitable, even so far as he is personally concerned; how probable then it must be that to an unappreciative and stony-hearted jury six cents should seem a sufficient equivalent for all be lost when his sweetheart jilted him! Let Mr. Lewis remember that he is not the first "Jock" who has been discarded when Donald found an opportunity to display his wealth and explain that he was "only three score and two." Of course he has a right to go. to law if he likes, and spread his love letters through the newspapers for the delectation of an amused public, but if he does, he may have cause to regard himself as the champion fool of the comedy, ME.

Her name was Miss Lulu Prange. THE terrible death which overtook Lieutenant Totten on the line of the New York Central near Cold Spring, is only another illustration of the necessity of a law inflicting a severe penalty on every man, woman or child found walking on a railroad.

THE WEAKNESS OF GERMAN IMPERIALISM; The Tablet rejoices over the untoward issue of Bismarck's coquetting with the Socialists, and says: Balmes, with profound wisdom, remarks that a government is always weak in proportion to the intensity of the tyranny it exercises in order to preserve its existence.

And judging of Bismarck's big political mushroom by their that criterion, misgivings. even the most is not foundedfon the affections of the great mass of sanguine must have It certainly the people.

DO WE WANT AN ARMY The Christian at Work protests against the idea that the United States needs a large standing army. It eays We have fallen upon evil times indeed if the American people, putting aside their reliance upon the spirit of a common patriotism and a common courage, are resolved to depend instead upon law a large standing army for the enforcement of and the security of life and property.

Do we want such an army in New York 7-do they need it in Kentucky or Ohio or Illinois, Tennessee or Georgia 7 Then let us write failure on the pediment of our National Capi. tol, and instead of the laurel branch place the sword and bayonet on our American coin! With five thousard miles of sea-coast and the troubles in the Indian country, the army should certainly be strong enough to do its work thoroughly and effectively but beyond that there is no occasion to go. A RESURRECTION WANTED, The Jewish Messenger calls for a resurrection of he simplicity and vitality of the old Hebrew faith It eage: Simplicity of life, purity of worship, earnestness of purpose, unity of aim, these are elements of Judsism which need a resurrection. As devoutly as we believe in a spiritual resurrection in the next world, no less devoutly ought we believe in a spiritual resurrection in this- -a vast uprising against foulness and insincerity, against wrong and injustice. All enduring revolutions spring from this silent force.

Ought not the American Jew as devoutly to yearn for an uprising against men and measures that debase and stultify the character of our faith EXAMINE THIS NAPHTHA LAMP, THAT WE OFFER TO FURNISH FOR $23 PER YEAR. THE CITY IS NOW PAYING $35, Mr. John W. Coe, the agent for the gas, explained its merits to a number of curious observers. Alderman Fisher, one of the Committee of Arrangements, requested the writer not to mention the exhibition of the placard and the lamp.

He said the advertisement had been put up without the knowledge or co.sent of the Committee and it was best not to say anything about it for fear some one would be offended. Now, if it were not for the last words in the Eagle's saccount of this affair, we should be free to give Alderman Fisher most unlimited praise for promoting this naphtha exhibition on this occasion. Evep as it is, though Mr. Fisher betrays an unusual degree of timidity, after what he did on Monday last, we must accord to the Alderman of the Twenty-third the credit of a good motive in encouraging this display in his Ward and among his own constituents. Alderman Fisher knows by this time that this naphtha business has undone not only an ex-Senator, but it has put three or four of our Eastern District Aldermen in a ticklish situation.

If, in the new bids for lighting our streets, Coe, as the agent for the Naphtha Company, should insist upon bidding only for the Williamsburgh district, the Eastern District Aldermen would have to vote against it to a man, or else go to the wall and be undone forever. Fisher, in a spirit of bravery every way commendable, and desiring to extend the area ofthe bids, commends this illuminator to his own constituents and thus tries to do what he can to save the Eastern District Aldermen from their unfortunate dilemma. He is acting upon our advice, showing his faith by his works, trying to get the naphtha for his own Ward, and thus to save his friend Coe from the necessity of "drawing out" without that $30,000 and at the same time saving our Eastern District Aldermen from the dan. gerous necessity of voting naphtha as an experiment upon the Eastern District, at our local expense, and exclusively for the benefit of the other sections of the city. Now, really, we cannot but commend Mr.

Fisher's course for thus trying to save his friends. They are all in a bad hole, and if they can be got out we shall be glad' to have them saved, and we will do all we can toward helping in this matter -the only condition we impose is this: that naphtha be not inflicted AB a ruinous experiment and exclusively upon this part of Brooklyn, and that if naphtha be used at all anywhere in this city, the price of 823 per lamp be not exacted, as that would be a flagrant act of public robbery in broad daylight, as at the highest the light is not worth over nine or ten dollars per lamp. With these tions we go for the naphtha gas for the Western District Wards with all our heart and soul. THE Hon: H. M.

Bliss is so sound on the Wallabout Market project, and, indeed, on all purely local questions, that hundreds of his constituents are to-day puzzling their brains to understand how he could" go so far astray as to allow his name to find a place among the fourteen would-be revolutionists. We are inclined to think it was all a mistake. Mr. Bliss is about the last man in the world to posture a la Carbonaro as a revolutionist; he has too big a stake in the country to take stock in incendiary plots. But he bas been so busy engineering the Wallabout bill and the Harlem River appropriation that he hasn't had time to bestow a thought upon this Presidential controversy.

When the question was called he was naturally "tall at sea," which is the more proyoking inasmuch as, in an alphabetical call of members of the House, his name comes THE STEWART HOTEL, The Examiner and Chronicle, commenting on the failure of the Woman's Hotel, says: This grand project, so untimely ended, will not have been undertaken altogether in vain if it shall teach kindly disposed men and women of large means these two important lessons -first, not to defer the execution of their philanthropio plans till they are dead, nor even until, in the due course of nature, they become too feeble to superintend properly the beginnings of the enterprise; and second, not to sacrifice practicability to mere magnificence. A CURE FOR COMMUNISM, The Christian Intelligencer, discussing the causes of Communism, makes tho following suggestions as to its cure: Try prayer. In the majority of the business houses where large numbers of men are employed, there are at least a few Christians; in some instances the employers are Christian men, and it would be easy to arrange a short religious eervico a8 8 part of each day's duties; a service purely voluntary and yet to which all should be heartily invited. The effect of such a service upon the character of the workmen and upon their opinion and acts could only be highly beneficial. SOCIALISM IN GERMANY.

The Evangelist discourses at length on the attempted assassination of the Emperor of Germany, and says: But really a contented aud happy people do not plot against even a monarchical government. What they need is good times, more profitable industry, fewer restrictions, and room to breathe in. To get rid of this spectre of communism something more and better must be done than increasing the police and building new prisons. Among the Churches. -The Rev.

GIRL OF FOURTEEN NEARLY KILLS HER MOTHER IN A DRUNKEN FIGHT. Serseless and Bleeding for Many HoursMrs. Ellen Carr's Narrow Escape from Death -Attempted to Shield Her Guilty Child. A fourteen-year girl, named Mary Carr, was taken into custody by the police of the Becond Precinct yesterday afternoon upon charge of felomous assault. That she cannot be accused of being a murderess is certainly no fault of her own, for it is not often that such a narrow escape from death as that of her mother, Mre.

Ellen Carr, is placed on record. The police tourd considerable difonity in getting at the facts of the case, though they soon learned euflicient to justify not only the arrest of the girl but also of Mrs. Jane Orown 88 8 witness. All of the parties mentioned reside in Hudson avenue, their apartments being of the most squalid description, and presenting as much evidence of dissipation as the external appearance of the occupants themselves. Early yesterday morning Mrs.

Orown paid A NEIGHBORLY VISIT to Mre. Carr and a few sociable drinks were Indulged in, the daughter disposing of her share of the liquor with the ease and regularity of veteran. The consequences were that by noon all parties were more or less intoxicated and as tsual the spree wound up in a fight. Outside attention to the disturbance however, was not attracted, the other residents of the house looking upon a squabble as 8 matter of course and paying but little heed to the agonize 1 cries which for a few moments were heard and which scon eubeided. At half -past three o'clock the police were notified that something serious had occurred at No.

140 Hudson avenue, and an officer was sent to investigate the matter. He made his way into Mra. Carr's kitchen where a shocking spectacle met bis gaze. Tables and chairs were strewn around in confusion, but the most forcible evidence of a struggle was found on Mrs. Carr herself.

The ill-fated woman Was stretched at full length on the floor WITHOUT A SIGN OF LIFE. A stream of blood had flowed from ghastly looking wounds on the forehead until it had formed a large pool on the floor, and from the fact that it was nearly dry it was evident that she bad lain in that position for several hours. Believing that she was dead the officer hurriedly returned to the Station House and notified the captain, who telegraphed for the ambulance surgeon, Dr. Oochrane. When that physician arrived he found that Mrs.

Oarr was still alive, and by frequent injections of morphine he managed to restore her to consciousness. She was carried to the City Hospital, the daughter and Mrs. Crown being taken into oustody. The latter stated that the former had quarreled with her mother about money matters, and had beaten ber upon the head with a cup, inflicting the wounds already spoken of. At the Hospital Mrs.

Carr said that she had fallen against the stove, but this did not save the daughter, who was held by Justice Walsh to await the result of her mother's injuries.
