Fatal accident. regret to state
that a deplorable accident, which re-
suited in the instant death of gentle
man from Cincinnati, took place at an
early hour yesterday morning, near
Big Darby creek, about fourteen miles
west Of this place. The deceased.
whose name we have been informed
vas Archibald Grsham, was on his
way East, when owing to the slippery
state Of the road, the stage, which was
crowded with passengers, suddenly
turned over. Mr.. Graham was sitting
near one Of the doors, and, it 10 sup.
posed, either attempted to jump out,
or fell out, and was caught under the
falling vehicle. Every exertion was
promptly made TO extricate him from
his perilous situation; but before the
stage could be righted, the vital spark
had fed forever. He was a young
man. and had emigrated from New
York only short time since.

We snd the Slave Question Ma. cssl,sd xrc.,

We ind the Slave Question has cxe,ycd great
interest In many parts Of the state-snd in some
quarters, most violent opposition. In Meek

"resistance even unto blood. (" has been ntimased,
and the Editors Of the Richmond Enquirer have
been deoosnced for pr,ms,urcly urging action
upon this delicate and sgits,ins subject. From
what we can gather Of public sentiment 10 the
Eastern portion Of the stste, cannot withhold
the oppression Of our conviction that the question
urged r~ther too Gar al the present session.
We doubt exceedingly whether even the people
West Of the Blue Ridge anticipated its agitation

FLASHING TON COUNTY TOWNSHIP
MEETINGS..

WEsT-FrNLEy TOWNSHIP, May 26, 1882.
In obedience to the call of the Committee of
Correspondence of Washington County, num-
opposed to secret and masonic combinations,
& friendly TO the election of JOSEPH RIrNER,
met at the house of John Sutherland.
The following preamble and resolutions were
read and adopted
Feilorv Citizens and Friends of Reform
You are aware that a society, bound by oaths
not iudicially known to the constitutional laws
of our republican government exists among us,
which claims for itself and adherents the ex-
elusive right to the title of Republican Demo-
cracy, and, at the same time, shuns the light
of investigation. We believe this society to
be based upon aristocratical principles, alike
Anti-Scriptural and Anti-Republican. From
the disclosures made by many patriotic men,
of known integrity, morality, and dignity Of
character, who have seeded from the blood
stained society, we are forced to believe that i
compels adherents TO its laws and principles,
Especially in the higher degrees, to trampls
upon the laws and constitutions of our coun'
try. 1t is very evident that masonry, in the
eyes of it's adherents, is paramount to our in
stitutions, civil and religious, our liberty ane
independence, and, ain fine, our God and oul
country. The mystic tie" ought therefore
to be severed--the masonic institution to be to-
tally annihilated. The friends of reform II
our government,-the enemies OF oath-boune
denominations, are therefore loudly called up
on to concentrate their forces in the ballot box
es, the all-powerful, peaceable and only effec
tive means eff breaking the chains of masonic
Tyranny.

ing was very numerous, ..I,stly OF

lutions adopted:
"Resolced, That the Incorporating honesty,
useful talents, sterling patriotism and faithful

We trust that the Union will endure for many

which provide that in cases where the State
Courts do not execute the judgments of the
Supreme Court, that Court may issue its own
process to carry into effectits own judgments.
1t is possible, indeed, that application might
be made to one of the Judges of the United
States, out of Court, for a habeas corpus, tc
bring the case Immediately before him. Bu
the general idea seems to be, that nothing will
be done towards enforcing the judgment unit
the next meeting of the Court, in this city.
If, finally, process issuing from the Supreme
Court, and which must be granted as a matter
of course, shall be resisted, it will be the duty
Of the Marshal of the United States for tha
District to summon posse conitatus, and oftht
President of the United States, if necessary
to place the Army and Militia of the United
States at the service of the civil authority.
In any event, it will be seen that the dan

posed by our friend at Fredericksburg.
