THE COUNCIL AT PHILADELPHIA

The National Council Of the American Par
ty is holding stormy session at Philadelphia.
On Wednesday the boiling blood Of the South
found ven, in an attack on Massachusetts. MIR
Bowlin Of Virginia charged Senator Wilson
with defeating the Know Noihings Of that State,
and INDUCED in a three hours speech Of great
bitterness. Tho special correspondent of the
New York Tribune writes as follows concern
ing Gen. Wilson's course in reply
"Gcn. Wilson replied with admirable cool
ness aud bold frankuess. lie said he was tie
last man to shrink at home or abroad from the
frank avowal Of his opinions, aud he was the
last man on earth 10 submit TO dictation and
threats. The gentleman from Virginia charged
him with indorsing Burlingame's speech in the
fremont Temple and thus striking him down
in Virginia. He did indorse that speech. He
now Endorsed il, and he should live and die by
II, and Massachusetts will stand by that speech.
An effort had been made in Virginia to strike
him down in Massachusetts, but he was not to
be stricken down there by the slaye-power Of
Virginia. He conceded the right Of the States
t. setil their own domestic affairs. He stood
by the State rights doctrine Of Virginia in 1900.

FIVE or six large stones had been placed under
meath. by the force of the collision the whole
train was thrown from the track. The engine
was thrown into ditch. The baggage car was
thrown completely over and broken up. Six
persons who were in that car were considerably
bruised by the flying pieces Of baggage, but
fotunaiely escaped without very serious injury.
The forepart of the passenger car was broken
in, and the trucks of two passenger cars were

BosDBoLDERs' NESTING OF THE VT. AND
Mass. RAiLRoAD.--We learn from the Boston
Bee, that an informal meeting Of the above cred
itors was held Wednesday forenoon at the Fitch
burg Railroad depot in Boston. Thos. Whit
temore, President Of the road, in the chair
Whitiemore stated that the mortgage bonds
which fall due July LIST, were the only class ex-
is,ing, all others having been paid from the in
come ofihe road. Their hopes fpaying pres
ent bonds had been cut off by the 'one man pow
err in the shape Of the Governors veto, and by
the strenuous efforts to prevent the bill passing
by the requisite majority. Since vetoing the
bill the Governor had been over the road and had
expressed his satisfaction with its condition.
The Board of Stockholders had been convened
to confer upon their mutual interests. Both
were in one boat and he didnt want it 10 mp
set. The plan submitted provides for The is
sue Of 90 years bonds, with a sinking fund
clause, which will extinguish the debt in 1875,
said fund as well as road to be secured to the
bondholders. Nj. Degrand approved the plan,
as did the meeting in general, but wanted TO
have the document worded SO as TO have the
privilege Of paying the bondholders within
three years for he had no doubt the bill would
pass the next Legislature, and be approved by
the Governor.
The result Of the meeting was The appoint.
meni Of committee Of five Messrs. Lyman
Nichols, S. p. Haywood, j. A. Davis, w. ii
Hill, Of Boston, and Mr.. Bullock, Of Royals
ton, to confer with the trustees and direc.
