1t is evident from the remarks OF the Ga
zette of yesterday that Mr.. Sanders is fully
convinced that Herbert was not at the Tin.
cinnati Convention, or ever in Cinclnnatl
during the sitting Of the Convention. San
ders having published that which was tan
tamount to saying that Herbert was a dele
gate to that Convention, seems to wish TO
let himself down easy, and therefore pub.
fishes something from a Cincinnati paper
which has been proved false at least nifty
times. Really these Niger worshlppers
die hard.-Sate Democrat.
We have said positively and given ouI
authority for the declaration, that Herbert
,1as at the Cincinnati Convention. we be
lieve it, and no one doubts it. The state
ment we gave from the Cincinnati Gdzett'
has never yet been proven false, nor has any
editor having a knowledge Of the facts hat
the audacity even to contradict it. II the
statement Of the Cincinnati Gazette hal
been proven false fifty times, it will be q
very easy matter for our neighbor to obtain
sufic testimony to prove it false on
time; until he does that we shall attribute
all Of his statements to his aippant style o
making assertions without being warranted
by the facts.

THg RIGHT SPIRIT.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Evening
Post gives a good account Of Mr.. Mott, the
representative in Congress from the Toledo
District Of Ohio. He says
zone instance Of promptitude on the part
OF a Republican member is worth e cording.
Richard Mott, a venerable Ohio Repre-
sentative, was lying i'll Of typhus fever
with some friends on long Island. twenty.
i've miles from New York. Giddings, not
aware of his illness, telegraphed to him at
New York city, on Tuesday night, to come
on and vote. The message fell into the
hands of a gentleman who, till now, has
been an old line Democrat, but he carried
out the command to the letter, chartered q
s teamboat ut an expense 10 himself of one
hundred dollars, proceede that very night
down Long Island Sound, and broug ht Mot,

Horrible Railroad Accident.

PHILADELPHIA, July ia serious rail-
road accident occurred this morning on the
Northern Pennsylvania Railroad, by the
explosion of the boiler of an engine.
The cars were filled with the teachers
and children of the St. Michael's Church
Sabbath School, bound on an excursion
The cars were set on fire and several lives
lost. The accident happened near port
Washington. Rumor makes the killed
from 80 10 200. No train has arrived yet
from the scene of the disaster. Other COM
panies have furnished locomotives, and sur.
geons have been dispatched to the scene
Of the accident.
A dispatch from Germantown says num-
bers of the wounded have been brought
there in private conveyances.
The scene of the accident is fourteen
miles from this city, near two curves, SO
that approaching trains cannot be seen 500
yards distant, and the track is a single one
when the locomotives came together
they rose on end, their fi-e boxes nearly
touched, and scattered about the wreck.
The first excursion car caught fire, and
communicated to the others piled upon it.
The most extraordinary efforts were made
10 extricate the mItilated beings crushed
under the wreck, many of them still alive
when the flames reached them. The groans
and cries that rent the air were awful. "A
number of physicians from this and Ger
mantown were in early attendance.
SECOND DIsPATCH.
The excursion train, with 900 children,
their parents and teachers, came in COLI
sion with the down train, On a curve near
Fort Washington, while the latter was 60
ing slowly and the former rapidly, e%ndeavor-
ing to reach the stopping place. Both loco
motives were crushed and three cars of the
excursion train rushing together caught fire
and were consumed. Benes tn the ruins
were a number crushed SO that recognition
was impossible. The scene was OF the
most heart rending and terrible description.
Eleven men and women and two children
were consumed in one car. Total killed,
80; wounded, SO.
LATER.-There were 80 killed and near
ly 100 badly injured. Figh hundred persons
were on the train, and six cars were entire.
ly demolished. Among the killed is Faith

xxx1yth congrsss..-Yirst Session.

WASHINGTON, July l7--SEEATE.--Mr.
Toombs introduced a resolution that the
finding of the late Naval Board in the case
of Lieut.. Bartlett, was in violation of the
rights guaranteed to every citizen by the
constitution, and is therefore utterly void
and of no effect. Mr.. Toombs said he
should call up his resolution at convenient
opportunity.
The Senate then went into executive ses-
sion on the navy appointments.
HoUsE.-The House resumed the consid-
Grafton of the resolutions of the Committee
on Elections, declaring Mr.. Archer instead
of Mr.. Allen elected Representative from
the Seventh District of Illinois.
The report Of the majority of the Commit
tee says that Mr.. Archer was elected by two
majority; the report of the minority states
that Mr.. Allen was elected by one majority.
The subject was debated.
