SINGULAR FATALITY.-A week ago last
Sunday a garg OF men employed on the
Rock Island Railroad went u on a tim
Der train some forty miles from the city.
The day was hot, and they drank a great
quantity of water taken from the tank of
the tender, and some twenty of them in
dulged freely in drinking from a Jug of
liquor with which they had provided
themselves, so that when they returned
they were beastlY drunk. Cn Monday
the most Of them wei taken sick, anil
an informant states, that out of sixteen
who are known to be Of the party, twelve
had died. two are despaired Of. and one
is very sick, while the sixteenth has es-
capped sickness entirely. The physicians
who have seen the cases are undecided
whether the fatality is to be attributed to
the water or the liquor. but from the fact
thu the conductor and engineer, who
also d ank from the tank, have not been
sick, it is probable that some deleteriouS
substance was in the jug which held the
liquor. Five Of The men died in one
house on Stale street, south of Twelve

Two Thousand Ladies Bathing at one
Time.
The Cape May correspondent of the
Baltimore Ameriedn says:

The Cape May correspondent of the
Baltimore american says:
1.-The beech presented a scene to-day
Monday of the most spirited and in
terestiug character. The number Of
bsthers exceeded that of any preceding
day. Between IL and l o'clock there
could not have been less than 1000 in
the surf, one-half, as usual, ladies
many of whom can swim, and one lady
l saw floating on the surface of the wa.
ter, and riding over the swelling surf
with the greatest ease imaginable. A
great number of the ladies were unat-
tended, but were fully as able to take
care OF themselves as the sterner Sex
The Gecorum of the surf is never violated,
and any one who would dare to insult or
annoy a lady whilst bathing, would find
himself surrounded by a host of aveng
ers. The American character in this
respect, is displayed at Cape May 10 its
fullest extent, and both on shore and
among the breakers, the ladies feel a
greater freedom from fOrnalities of all
kinds thar they would at home"

There is the bill. Does Slavery cost
the North anything? Is three hundred
millions OF the public money nothing ?
Are Northern freemen interested in this?
How much has been paid within the last
half century to enlarge the area Of free
dom? How much for the improvement
of rivers and harbors g? How much to
aid northern interests ? If a bill, asking
for an appropriation of a single half mil
lion of dollars for these purposes, is pas.
sed by congress F; a democratic president,
a tool of the slave power, has stood rea-
dy to veto it. If an appropriation is ask
ed to build a railroad to the Pacific
the minions Of the same power strike it
down. If a man from a free state is ap-
pointed governor of free territory, and
refuses to prostitute The ballot box in ia
vor of slavery, he is removed from office.
If a Deputy Post Master, in a small
country town, in a free state, dares to
hint his disapprobatiOn of the Nebraska
and Kansas bill, even he is not too small
an object for administrative vengeance,
and he is removed from Office. Verify,
what has the North 10 do with slavery ?

Slavery and tue Methodist Church.

seem to be singled out as special objects
of persecution, by the ultra pro-slavery
men of the south. In addition to being
prescribed in Kansas, threatened with
tar and feathers, and even with death,
the Cleveland Leader says that in the
old slave states, in several places they
have been mobbed and driven from their
homes, and the spirit of pro- slavery per-
secution is only in its infancy. What
effect this persecution may have on the
sentiments of other churches, remains to
be seen ; but of n thing we are quite
e tain-if the pro-slavery men of the
South expect to be able 10 e~xterminate
Methodism, they are, for once, sadly
mistaken. 1t requires no spirit of proph-
ecy to foretell the result of SUCH an I'M
deltaking. We are glad that matters
are drawing to an issue /; and it is GER
tainly an honorable distinction for the
Methodists to be specially singled out
and made to bear the brunt of the con-
test. The latest instance of outrage We
find in the Cass County Missouri Ga
zene, of the Cd inst
a preacher of the Methodist Episcopal
church, Rev. Mr.. Wiley, was accused OF
having promulgated publicly, abolition
sentiments, and his case became the
care of our citizens, who assembled in a
public meeting at the court house on the
eth July, and appointed committees TO
investigate the charge. After protract-
ed and careful deliberation, it was con-
sidered that Rev. MIR. Wiley's sentiments
savored too thoroughly of abolitionism,
and that in a public capacity he had
made himself obnoxious 20 the serious
charges alleged against him, and that 1t
was necessary for the peace and harmo-
ny of our county, that he leave the
State. And therefore it was resolved
that Rev. Mr.. WHEY be required to
leave the State within 7 days, with the
injunction not to go into tn. adjoining
territory.
Such is the spirit of the men whom
President PIERCE delights to please
Such is the Democracy which the pro-
slavery party in Ohio wishes to see
planted in Kansas. Such is the princi-
pie against which the Republicans are
arrayed.
Judging from the following, which we
take from an exchange paper, it would
seem that some of its members in the
free states, take the liberty of thinking
tor themselves:

Ralfers' Mass Convention

1t is known to our readers that n few
pro-slavery members of the Know Moth
ing party attempted to get up a separate
organization, and for that purpose called
a Mass Meeting at Columbus. Of,ils
numbers and importance the State IHr-
nal speaks as follows:
1.-The Mass State C%onyention of Bolt
erst assembled at tie City Hall this fore
noon. At IL. the hour advertised for
The meeting to be called to order, there
were about y dozen in the hall. Grad
ually the number increased. and at ten
minutes before 12, the room was about
half full.
80 far as we could Judge from ap-
pearanccs, and learn from others, there
were from fifty TO seYenty-f,e persons
present who participated in the action of
the Convention. Several persons who
had come for the purpose of taking part,
seeing the very small attendance, left
Columbus in the morning trans, for
home. Oilers, probably, were deferred
from going TO the Hall for the same rea-
son. The entire concern is a decided
failure"
A. Banning Norton, one of the speak
ers, said
"He hoped this small beginning of
true Americans would resolve 10 perse.
we're in the work they had commenced"
Verify it was a small beginning, and
it will have Il smaller ending.

man who would act the part of the cats
paw in the play, begged leave respect
fully 10 decline. Hon. Allen Trimble
was then nominated. Whether the old
man is sufficiently in his dotage to accept
such an honor (?) remains to be SEEM
The whole thing was a perfect farce.

The Russian Imperial Treasure at HOS

COW.
A letter fiom Moscow to the Boston
Aa0s, gives the following interesting &C.
count of the imperial treasure.
1t is contained in FIVE rooms, through
which we were es, orted by no less than
twelve servants, in addition to the direc-
tor and his attendant. l cannot forbear
mentioning the attention which we, as
Americans, received, not only here but
throughout all Russia, from those in off
cial capacity /; and the bare mention OF
{" Americans" proved as open sesame
everywhere. In the imperial treasury
are carefully preserved the platters and
salt cellars, upon and in which bread and
and salt are given TO the Emperor on his
arrival at Moscow also a glass, blown
by Peter himself, with Il ducat blown
into the bottom Of it.. In one room are
fifteen crowns, including those of the
captured countries, Poland, Siberia, As.
trachan, Georgia, and the Crimea.
Peter the Great, and his half brother,
the foolish Ivan, who were crowned to-
gether, have each a crown OF wonderful
magniticence. They contain respectively
81 and 841 fine diamonds. besides some
of the largest rubies and emeraids
known. The imperial crown contains
more than $500 fine diamonds, and the
ruby under the Cross, the largest one
known in the world, alone cost 100, 600
silver roubIes. Peter III. was the first
monarch crowned with this, and Anne
added the ruby bought by her ambassa-
dOI at Pekin. The crown of Poland -
called) is here, but it is merely a crown,
made at Warsaw, to be used in the fu-
neral ceremonies at the burial ceremo-
MES al the burial of Alexander, in 1895.
The sceptre of Poland is a single piece of
aqua marine, two feet long, and by some
strange fatality is broken in the middle.
There is also a throne here, which is
studded with more than 1000 furquois
e., and is covered with pure gold. The
double throne OF Peter the Great and his
brother Ivan, is of solid silver. A cur
tain hangs behind it, under the conceal
ment OF which their ambitious sister,
Sophia, dictated their answers. Here
also two saddles of the Empress Catha-
rlne, given her by the Sultan at the
peace of 1885 and 1875. The first is all
diamonds, the horses shoes silver, and
the stirups gold, (fur she sat asuide.)-
One topaz, IN the aitingale, alone cost
10000. The 1--WE are a perfect mass of
diamonds, and altogether my eyes ache
with magnificence.

What has the North to do with Slavery?


The North is interested in the unequal
yearly expenditure of public money for
postal expenses and general expenses of
government, which always favor the
slave states. The North has much to do
with slavery when it submits TO the still
more unequal congressional representa-
ton granted to the slave states by the
constitution, as a part of the United
States, in bearing the stigma attached to
us by foreign nations, for the hypocrisy
which while protesting to hold that all
men are born free and equal /; to be a
nation of freemen, we still hold, within
our boundaries, three millions of slaves.
But setting aside all questions of light
and wrong, ignoring the calling fact that
one slave holder, owning five hundred
slaves, is entitled to a representation in
Congress equal to that of three hundred
and one free white men, and examine, for
one moment, the figures which show
how much of the common treasure, the
public money belonging to the whole
United States, has been squandered to
enlarge the area of slavery, and to fight
her battles. The United States has paid
within the last half century the follow
