TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE.

BUFFALO, May II.
A dreadful accident occurred here this af-
ternoon, by the falling Of large building oc-
cupied as a banking house by Robinson &
Co. The building being repaired, to do which
part of the wall was taken out, when the re.
ma:nder fell, with great crash, burying Is
or 20 workmen, and some others beneath the
ruins. Up to 9 o'clock 8 dead bodies and
living had been taken out, though Is more
are beneath the rubbish, all doubtless dead.

The first passenger car was wholly sub
merged. Only a portion of one end of the
second was visible, and the water soon cover
ed that; I suppose by the sinking of the
tirst car, upon which il had fallen, deeper into
the mud. The baggage car was submerged,
as also were the locomotive and tender. The
smoking car was caught upon the piles of the
bridge, which partially kept it above water.
I learned that there were only eight persons
in II, and that they all escaped.
On hurrying to the beach, I saw forty or
fi(,y persons struggling with the water, crawl

Clothing Business in Cincinnti.

From report lately made to meeting Of
sha mstresses of Cincinnati, the Gazette gath
ers the following interesting statistics in re-
laticn to the Clothing business Of that city:
1t is estimated that there are in Cincinnati
about four thousand women who support them
selves by sewing. OF these large majority
are employed by the propretors Of ready
made clothing stores. From these stores
work is also given out to about two thousand
women residing in Newport, Coyington,
Fulton and other towns in the vicinity of
Cincinnati. A considerable amount of work
is also entrusted to women who live In other
counties, and who, coming to the city by
omnibuses and railways, take with them to-
their homes large number of garments.
The clothing thus manufactured is not sold
in Cincinnati. Large quantities are forward
ed to the interior and northern parts of this
State, to Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan Missouri, aud other districts Of the South.
So cheap is labor in Cincinnati, that our
CLOTHES proftably compete with those in the
country localities to which the city clothing
is sent.
There are, as nearly as could be estimated
in the short period allotted to the preparation
of this report. four hundred and fifty ready.
made clothing establishments in this city,
one hundred of which do mainly wholesale
business.
In their employ there are one thousand
clerks and salesmen, who are paid salaries
ranging from $3.50 to $1,000 per annum--
about twenty five hundred tailors, who earn
from $4.O0 to Si2,O0 per week, and then, as
we have estimated, six thousand women, who
are paid from Sl,O0 to $500 per week.

hIAAA Wi .
ave observe with regret and surprise an
attempt made by correspondent ofthe Wood
vile Republican to peryert our remarks recent
y made with reference to the Hon. S. Posev
in eonnexion with a Congressional nomination.
What we said Of the Judge was conceived in
the most friendly spirit and uttered with frank
ness and courtesy. No such insinuatiou as
the Republicans correspondent seems to infer
from our article were Intended. for there are
none IN the district for whom we entertain n
higher personal respect, and none, beyond the
immediate circle OF our intimate friends, for
whom we feel a warmer personal regard. We
spoke effrmGtirely Of the powerful reasons
which influenced our mind in favor Of another
gentleman as the democratic candidate for
Congress, without having the remotest idea
that our remarks would be construed into a
denial to Judge Posey Of any Of the qualifca-
lions named. We presume that no one will
De more surprised than that gentleman at onr
remarks in support Of another being termed
an 'il-natured fling at himself Surely i'll
nature was as far removed from the spirit of
the article as possible. There is no necessity
for any attempt to depreciate rival aspirarts
and we shall not engage in so ignoble a work.
The contest should &c open, manly. and IN
good faith and feeling. We do not like 70 see
the subject treated so trivialy as it is by the

should Judge Posey receive the uomina-
ton, no one would support him with greater
ardor than ourself; and we are satisfied that
Gen. Stanton, who now seems 10 be the choice
Of a majority Of the Democracy. will cheerfully
acauiesce, and will advocate his election with
all his elOquence and ability.
Judge Posey, however, Is not understood
to be an aspirant for Congressional n~ornina-
ton, and the Republicans correspondent states
his belief that he is not. He has proved an
ornament TO the bench, and long may he con
tinue so."--NateAez Free Trader.
Now, our readers have it all so far. The
"ll-nature" spoken Of may be a mistake in our
correspondent, ~Planter," but we viii venture
to say nineteen men out Of twenty reading
both articles will come to Planters conclusion.
We make bold to say that editorially we could
make nothing else out oft, and westill believe
there was and is an intention to keep Judge
Posey in the back ground for Gen. Stanton's
especial benefit! We have looked at it in
every light, and can make nothing else out Of
it-nor are we alone, it is the belief of the
Judges friends in this county so far as W. can
ascertain, and if Gen. Stanton is not nomina-
ted, his friends may thank the spirit thus. mani
tested, perhaps more than anything else for it,
at the sam time let be distinctly understood
that this controversy ends SO soon as the nom
ination is made. But there is one more en-
tract to which we wish to call attention, which
is from the Free Trader of April 26th, as fol-
lows
"JUDeE PosEY.-We had the pleasure on
yesterday of meeting in our city this disting-
uished gentleman. Some of his friends have
spoken of him as a candidate for Congress ;
but we know personally from Judge Posey
himself that he is not a candidate and will not
permit his name to be used. 1t is probable
that he will be q candidate for reelection to
the position he now occupies, which he has
nobly adorned and in which the people are
anxious to retain him. 1t is equally as honor
able and important as a seat in Congress-
Natchez Free Trader.
The exact meaning of this we cannot make
out. II It is intended to assert that Judge
'Posey will not accept the nomination, should
it be rendered to him, we say most positively
it is a mistake. Judge Posey's position is Just
this-and we speak authoritatively-he is not
a candidate, he does not wish his name. to 90
before the Convention at all-at the same
time, if in despite of all this, the Convention
should tender him the nomination he would
not feel at liberty to decline entering the can
vass. The call of his fellow citizens-a sense
of duty to his friends and the county, would
influence him to accept the nomination, even
against his own wishes. sSfY8 makes the
whole matter rather r~dicuf0ds, is the fact
that we have stated, that the Judge is not
an aspirant at all. We have harmony and
good feeling of all other things in the universe,
but would not sacrifice an atom of what is
just and right to obtain them. -
