EAUtAT HAIIAVAY BI3IIV1GH. RoiulnlRccnccft of the DnynVlion tlio ron llurso was Clnmvy. From the American It. H. Journal , When the firjt railways In this country were completed the question arose , "nho and vclioro are thu mem competent to take chsrga of them ? " It was a diffi cult problem to solve , fcr to one had , of course , acy experience in the now and novel mode of travel ing fast cojilng Into general use Under the circumstances It was per haps natural that the engineers who built the roads should bo selected as their sup erintendents. This waa done In many Instances , and not always to the benefit cf the stnckhold rs. In some cases it was soon rnado manifest that a good civil onglnotr aud surveyor might ba utterly wanting in executive ability and business capacity ; essential qualifications required for the aucco.'sful management of a rail way. way.Somo roads virtually undo their presi dents Duperintondoutsof transportation , giving them autocratic power over all the various departrnonts , machinery included , and nnst of the roads Buffered greatly in contequoDCO from misplaced ouory and Ignorance. It is probable that this evil existed in a greater decree In the south ern sla.tes than at the north. The writer can well remember many Instances of their folly aud what intheso enlightened days wculd bo called stupidity. Ono president of a first classsouthern railway , hcatiug of the advantages derived from etgbt-whfclod freight care , ordered ono of extra length to bo built with twelve , the extra wheels to be placed in the cen ter. As the car waa made of wocd , and not of India rubber or whalebone , it of courao ran off the track at the first curve it imcouutertd. Bat if the railways found it a difficult task to secure competent men to super intend them properly , it was still harder to obtain trustworthy engineers and fire men. Their only chamo was to Uku machinists from the shops to act in the former capacity. Many cf them became , in a few months , expert in performing all the duties required of thorn. Most of the locomotives in the southern states were built in England % f a make and pattern utterly un- suitcd foe the etude , imperfectly can- structod lailtvayo then \ln \ existence in thit patt "of' ' tue country. They were moro complicated than those of the pres ent day , ard much moro liable to gut out of order. It was not until about the year 1838 that the engines made by Nurrls , Baldwin and other eminent American builders , put a stop to the English iin- porthtloue ; their greater adaptability to our railways with thtir short curves and heavy grades , only then being fully ac knowledged. As tha railways rapidly Increased , to did the demand for skilled engineers , in a still grottor ratio. To meet this diffi culty , some roads promoted thtir fire men , who , after a few weeks' of exper ience aa such , were made to act as engi neers , commenclLg with freight traina only. They received fully $20 per month lees than these who considered themselves " ' " In the "rrgu'ara" ser vice , and who called the now re cruits "corn field" engineer * . Nor was this appellation inappropriate moat of them being totally uneducated , and much more capable of plowing well than nf running * a locomotive. Flues were burnt out and brumes and journals ruiood weekly evils resulting from caroleasners and a lack of Intelligence. The writer hat known of a paesouger train being da- layed for hours simply because the newly , promoted fireman did not know how to run his engine with ono cylinder , and of another train standing still all night in a awiinp in the sickly mouth of September , the bng delay being caused by the ( lip ping of the eccentric ) on the axle from the loosening of tha set screws. A ham- nur and a monkey wrench would have set tbo train iu notion in a few minutes , pr < vldod the engineer had known how and where to use them. In the southern ttitcs most of the fire men were negroes scmefroa and some slaves , the owners of the latter rec iring comparatively high wages on account of ihy rxtra risks to which their property WAS subjected. As negroes were never In the line of promotion , many of them were , simply as firorren , superior to aome of the Caucasian race , nnd could bo found acting in that capacity for yoaiH on tbo aimo railway. At a rule , they gave moro natiifac- tion than the uneducated white man , and becime experts from long experience. Thiy wore more obedient than the white firemen , and took a greater pride in keep * ing their engines clean. It is somewhat strange In those radlcil days , when no- qroos have figutoi In our national coun cils ns senators and representatives , tbat not ouo so far M the writer's knowledge extends has boon employed at engineer on any railway in the United State * , north or south The prejudices of the traveling public may account for this fact. Col ored men are engineers on steamboats , atiica and naw ntllli , aattorcd over the entire sou-It , but none are to bo found on a railway , and from the railway standpoint none shonU' bo found. If a negro , running n pasicngor train on any railway , north as well as south , shoulc' moot with nil accident involving lots of life , oven if the dis aster WAS plainly unavoidable and no fault of the sable engineer , what n shout of iuoig atisn wonla roll over the landl The otliserj'of tint unhappy rail way would have a hard tntk to convince the public that the misfortune * wni cot ciusod by either the Incouipotrnoy or carolomiesi of the unfortunate darkey. Ivnow.ng this , all southern railways cm- ploy whlto men ouly to take charge of their locomotives and they will probably do 83 for many yoara ti come. ASyriiuiHIlvcrBiuitii'a Ukill In WltKrco Work.
