The why il WIS done.

The friends Of temperance and good order
were beaten here, at the late election, by the
intrigues Of the locofoco party, in a way that
many of them are now ashamed Of. The
provision in our city charter which required
as a qualification for voting, simple resi-
dence Of six months in the city, although an
nulled by the constitution, was declared the
law paramount, and judges gotten who ere
willing to mako this the test. A legal gen.
tleman Of this city was procured to give al
opinion in favor Of the legality of the charter
over the Constitution, and the votes of every
Alien offered were received, in accordance
with the charter, while the votes of citizens
Of tho United States, and legal voters at any
general election in this State, under the Con-
stitution. were excluded, unless they had re-
sided six months in the city.

Corn DoDGERs.-Somebody goes off in
perfect ecstacies over this theme. Corn
dodgers are the very things for hard times,
better and cheaper than potatoes, and good
enough for Princes. Here is the way to
make them:
The meal must not be too fret amt a
dodger, if it is. You must not chunk 'em
about and ginger 'em over, it amt a
dodger, if you do. Corn mcal-white meal
salt and water, stirred up, mixed up, fun
bled up, three times as big as hens egg,
and baked with finger marks all round,
brown and crispy, steaming hot, that's a
dodger, sir-Kentucky Dodger-Hard Times
Bad Potatoes-Try 'cz, try 'em,
CoSGREss.-The State Journal speaking
of the bill to. increase the pay of members of

ssThere is rottenness in Congress, md it is

convictions that eight dollars day and mile
age (without stealings) is of much us the
services of members of Congress are worth!
When they begin to talk of twenty-four dol
lars day being necessary to live at Wash

them and see what they are coming to-

The Railway Advocate tells the following
good story at the expense of one of the sup
per tenn Of New York. True or false, it is
capital commentary upon the mode Of life
adopted by the class to which the gentleman
belongs:
MIR. --- is one of tho ssmerchant
princess of the empire city, and though liv-
ing in one of the most spacious mansions on
the Fifth Avenue, his entire family consists
Of himself and his wife. Meeting friend
from the country, one day, he invited him up
to view his house. The friend was shown
the gorgeous rooms, with tessellated floors
and magnificent frescoed ceilings, and final
ly was taken into the lower rooms, in one of
which he found small regiment Of colored
servants seated at bountiful dinner. On
his return home he was asked if he had seen
Mr.. So-and-so? ooh yes" ssWhat is he
doing now?'' ssWell, when I saw him he
was keeping Niger boarding house on the
Fifth Avenue.'

DEATHS by FREEzING.--We learn from
John Warner, Esq, that the wife and child
of Mr.. Thomas Butler We're frozen to death
on Sunday last. Mr.. Butler has been in the
employment Of Mr.. Warner for about two
years, and lives near the railroad bridge at
Rock River. Last Saturday he came to
town to settle with Mr.. Warner, and not get
ting his business closed, concluded to stay
over until Monday. Mrs. Butler and her
child were alone, and during the terrible
storm and wind on Sunday, started to 80 a.
cross the prairie to an acquaintance who
lived about mile distant from her house,
and both mother and child persisted on the
way. Wien found the little child had its
hand clenched full of snow, and frozen fast.
1t has been said by some that Mrs. Butler was
forced to go to tho neighbOrs or freeze, as
she had got out of wood. MIR. Warner saws
this is not so, for there was plenty of wood
at the door, and plenty of all kinds of prov-
sions in the house, as it was the boarding
house for his men. Besides, she might have
found shelter at Mr.. Bryant's, not half the
distance she attempted to go. MIR. Warner
thinks the woman got frightened or lone
some, and started for the house of an ac-
ouaintance to stay until Mr.. Butler returned,
ana thus mother and child persisted in this
most distressing manner.-[Rock Island Rep.

ACCIDENT ON THE OHIO AND MISSIS-
SIPPI RAILROAD.
Providential Escape Of Passcngers-Great
| Eycitement-P Persons Wounded-D cstruc-
ton of Property.
The train on tho Ohio and Mississippi Rail-
road that left this city yesterday at 10 O'Clock
4. n, for Louisville, met with terrible ac-
cident at the switch near the FIRST gravel pit
beyond North B nd, about four miles this side
of Lawrenceburg, at half past Ii O'Clock
The train consisted of the locomotive, bag
gage err, and two passenger cars, which were
full of people. The switch, owing probably
to the intense cold, broke a moment after the
locomotive passed, and the cars were hurled
from tho track with great force. The coup
ling between the baggage car and the first
passenger car snapped, and the locomotive,
remaining on the track, dragged the baggage
car, which was off, about an hundred yards,
jjolting and SCATTERING it dreadfully. The
passenger cars being freed from the engine,
dashed into an engine shed near by, where,
fortunately, their force was spent by a col
lision with some gravel cars and an engine
standing there. If it had not been for this
obstacle, they would inevitably have plunged
over steep embankment about twenty feet
high, with most disastrous results. As twas,
so demolishng in its effects was the shock
that twenty eight seats in the front car, and
ten in the other. were so crushed and shatter-
ed that they fell upon the floor in fragments.
The first car upon the gravel train, tearing
loose from its trucks, and, in its contact with
the engine house, about half of one side o. it
was spl,ntered of, and the stove, bounding
from the floor, passed through the rent, and
was broken by the fall. There was an awful
scene of confusion and alarm. The ladies'
and children shrieked; every one thought, on
scrabbling from the wreck, that surely large
number OF persons were killed. Butmost re-
markable to state, but one appeared to have
sustained any serious injury. Ephraim Mitch
ell, the brakeman stationed between the bag
gage car and the first passenger car, received
drea full cut on the head, and at last ac-
counts he was thought to bein critical con-
dition. lie has family-a wife and two
child ren---and some Of lis household are
stated to be sick. The passengers collected
so for him. One passenger, whose name
we could not learn, had his arm broken, and
another his hand crushed. Many persons
were bruised, some of them severely; but it
was esteemed wonderful that he personal in
juries sustained were so slight.
After four hours detention, cars were pro-
CURED, aud the ssengers sent on their way.
The track was speedily Cleared, so that the
trains Of today will not be Diet ined.

RAILROAD TRAVELLING IN WINTER.-AlIu-
ding to the difficulty the trains had the week
before last in making their way through the
snow-drifts hence to Chicago, the Tribune of
that city says, that there were sixty passen-
gero, among them two ladies, and that they
at one time had nothing to eat for thirty
hours. They lived most of the time on
crackers and herring and drank melted snow.
The same paper says:
"rhe trains which left here on the Chicago
and Mississippi Road on Wednesday and
Thursday mornings, both succeeded in reach
ing snow bank about nine miles this side of
Pontiac, where they still remained at the la
test advices. On Thursday night the stock
Of wood gave out and the em;grant cars were
chopped to pieces for fuel, which kept the
passengers from perishing till morning. The
number of passengers in the two trains is
about two hundred and City. Among them
are severa, ladies and children.
son Friday moIaing the provisions gave
entirely out, and Starvation stared them IN
the face. 1t being remembered, however, that
there were some Oyesters in the express Cat,
that was broken open, and some two or three
hundred cans of bivalves were found. This
prize was distributed among the passengers,
AMI furnished an excellent breakfast. The
cans being cut in two, served exceedingly
well for stew pans, while those who prefer
re them raw were more easily suited. Du-
ring the morning, several of the gentlemen
waded through the snow to the nearest farm
house, some four miles distant. Here they
found eleven horses, which were soon hitched
up to teams and set to work taking fuel and
provisions to the cars. Some Of the ladies
and chill iren came up to the farm house,
where they probably would remain until the
road was cleared. Some Of the passengers
obtained team and came across the country
to Morris, from which place they came here
by railroad"
