The entire Democratic Ticket is elected by
majorities of about 500. This is, indeed, most
glorious result after II the efforts that have been
made to campass our defeat. We have no time
or disposition to comment upon this result at the
present time, but give the majorities en- Repre-

speak for themselves. The official canvass may
slightly change the result, but not materially.
The majorties for the balance of the county tick

the State ticket we have kept no figures, but the
majorities will be large wherever there were
three district tickets running, and nearly the
same as on Representative where there was a

PERCUSSION Cars SuPERcEEDED.-A new COM

Winiwartier and Gershem, of Vienna for the
purpose Of superceding the ordinary percussion

these gun primers, as the composition is called,
are the absence of \ metallic coat or cover, and
their uniform explosive power, the materials be-

residue whatever is left. The materials which
form the new composition, are Illuminating mer-

Collision On the Ohio & Pennsylvania
ks;liirOad.
A collision occurred, about two O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, between the mail trains, east and
west, of the Ohio & Pennsylvania Railroad when
about three miles this side of Alliance. 1t ap-
pears that the train going east was behind time,
end the train going west started from A lliance.-
Mr.. Solomon w. lberts, Chief Engineer of the
road, who on the other train, assumed the
grave responsibility Of mounting the engine and
setting the machinery in motion with his own
hands; and the trains consequently met, with
violent concusson. The number of persons in
jured is variously estimated, at not less than six,
or more than twelve. One man, named james
B. (iarvty, who resides in Washington County,
Pennsy lvania, had leg nearly torn off rendering
amputation necessary. 1t is thought he cannot
recover. The baggage was scattered around in
every direction
| Mr.. Roberts, whose rash conduct has produced
results serious, states that he mt telegraph
ic dispatch from Massillon to Alliance, ordering
the conductor OF the train going west TO wait un-
| til he arrived We learn that this dispatch neve
left Massilion, the lines not being in working or
der; and as Mr. Roberts started away before this
fact could be made known to him by the operator
al this station, the catastrophe resulted as We
have above stated. Instead of communicating
with the operator himself, he told a third person
to have it sent. This explanation may possibly
salts Y the Board of Directors; but should the al
fair be judtialy investigated, some other defence
must be originated.
From the following call for public meeting
of out citizens. it will be seen that a strong de-
termination exists to thoroughly investigate the
causes which produced this occurrence:
We, the undersigned, citizens of Massilon and
vicinity in view of the recent disaster at Alliance,
would hereby call Public Meeting for the pur-

Of Indian Affairs, we are informed, has thus far
met with good success in treating with the Indians
for the cession Of their lands in tha above named
territory, to the United States The soil, the cli-
mate, the timber, minerals. and local position of
this territory, all point it out likely long to
become one of the greatest and wealthiest States
of this Union. 1t will now soon be opened for
settlement, and we dorbt not, it will become the
destination of throngs Of emigrants from the old
States, and from Europe. Thus another repub-
lie is founded and another wide realm added to
the great empire of freedom. 1t lies on the
ronte of travel between the Atlantic and Pacific,
and will doubtless be crossed by the great rail-
way that is to connect the shores of the two
oceans That road will fill that territory with a
busy and thriving population in very few years;
and though in the centre OF the continent it will
have easy, cheap and speedy access to the harbors
of both oceans, and all the best markets of the
world Those seeking western homes, and not
smitten with the gold fever. will soon find Ne
braska one of the most attractive regions on this
continent.
