Gov. Walker and the National
Democracy.

The editor of the Quindaro CAindouaa,
says the Cincinnati Commercial, who left
Kansas Sunday night last, informs us that
Gov. Walker is already as unpopular among
the pro-slavery men as his illustrious pre-
decessor, Geary, and that his position, sur
rounded, as he is, by them, and without
sympathy from the Free State men, is be-
coming uncomfortable in the extreme. In
addition 10 being placed between two fires
in Kansas, there is fire in the rear opened
by the South, and he knows that Mr.. Bu-
cs.anan is not to be depended upon to back
him in an emergency. He has failed ut
terly to organize 'National Democratic"
party in favor of making Kansas a Demo
cratic Free State. Democracy in Kansas
means serfdom to slavery, and the question
is directly between Democracy with "nig-
gers" and Republicanism with free white
labor. Walkers days of glory are not only
numbered but past, and the signs of the
times are that he will in few weeks re-
turn, sadly erest-fallen, to the States. Yhe
ghost of "bleeding Kansas" has him by the
throat. Cleye. Leader.

RiOts--The Fou,,h

NEW YoRx, July s.
Several riots occurred in this c;tr yos..,
day, which originated in the Bowl rhe.
fight continued with great ferocity for an
hour. Clubs stones, bottles, and fire-a,n.
were freely used. The Five Pointers were
gradually driven. Eight persons were XII
led in this riot, and about 80, including
several policemen, wounded, At one period
the rioters had streets barricaded, defying
the policemen.
There were upwards of 1000 present, 8
regiments of State troops ordered out and
kept in reserve, but thir services were not
required, as the riot was finally suppressed
by the exertions of the police. IN minor
riots, which occurred during the day, Q
persons were killed, 20 or 80 badly wound
ed. In nearly all the disturbances the ex-
policemen were conspicuous actors, with
the exception of those among the rowdies.
The day passed off6nely, The weather
was propitious. The military and civil
displays were brilliant and imposing, and
the fire works at Brooklyn, Williamsburg
and other suburbs of the most gorgeous
description. The pyrotechnic display of
the city proper postponed on account of
partial damage to pieces caused by the
damp weather of the week.
There are flying rumors of additional
riots this evening, but without founda-
tion. The military are under arms pre-
pared to act with decision.

Santa Anna and Mexico.

A letter has lately been received at Wash
ington, from which we take the following
extracts relative to the arrangement be-
tween Santa Anna and Spain, for reyo-
luton in Mexico:
The ex-Director offers to make a treaty
with Spain as soon as his government is
established, in which the Spanish conren-
ton with Mexico shall be sustained with
out conditions, to pay to Spain one mil
lion of dollars for the assassinations at
San Vincente, and solemn compromise to
make an offensive and defensive alliance
against the United States.
For all this Spain is to assist Santa An
ma with three vessels of war and one thou
sand five hundred men, with which he WI
proceed to any port in Mexico that they
may deem proper-these forces to be-
maintained BY Santa Anna at port where
they may land, during the revolution and
until his government is consolidated
Santa Anna believes that he will not re-
luire larger force than this, but if rein
orcements should become necessary, all
hat he may desire shall be sent to him.

Russians Feeding the French.-

But few months ago the Russians and

LAST NIGHTS REPORT.

New YORK, July g.
The city remained quiet through the day
until sundown. The military, however,
will be on duty tonight. Gen. Sanford,
who has been absent since Saturday P. NJ,
returned to day and will resume COM
mand. The captains of the police held a
meeting to-day and arranged to hand over
all the property in the station houses, and
closed them. A caucus of Democratic
councilmen was held to-day to consider the
question ofsurrenderiEg the station houses
to the Metropolitan. 1t is understood
that the majority wasin favor of the meas
ure. The latter will be discussed tonight.
One of the Metropolitan police, beaten on
Saturday, is lying in q very critical position.
A lad named Buckley, aged Is years
died at the hospital last night from wounds
received in the riot on Saturday. Several
of the rioters were examined to-day before
Justice Osburn, and seven of them who
were taken with weapons in their hands,
in the act of resisting the officers, were
committed for trial. Their names are
Patrick Moore, Owen Keylin, Pat Mcbride,
Barney Gallagher, Bernard McGeyern, Pat
rick Mooney and Bernard Dye.
The cannon captured in the Bowery by
a squad of the list regiment has been
sent to the Armory of that regiment as a
tronhy.

The South Organizing Against
Buchanan.

The political extremists of the South
the men who follow the lead of the New Or
leans Delta, Charleston Mercury, and
Richmond South, are beginning to organize
against Mr.. Buchanan's administration, and
to lay the foundation of Southern Sec
tional party, distinct from the Democratic
party. Forgotten in the North and aban-
doned by the South, where will the Admin
istration find its support? As an indication
of the spirit of the new crusade, we quote
from the N. o. Delta:
ave have suggested, from time to time,
tentative expedients for reconciling the sal
vation of the South with the preservation
of the Union. We accept the belief of the
Charleston Mercury that the futility of
them now stands apparent; those that are
practicable are insufficient and those that
are sufficient arc impracticable. What re-
mains then? The forerunner has been
crying in the wilderness long enough; the
way has been straight long enough; the
~M only is wanting to make Southern Re
demption sure. National parties cannot
save the South; Presidents and Cabinets,
and their Kansas programmes and procon-
suls cannot save the South. We are then
for Southern Union, at the present writing
first and last How many ohtre Journals
are for that Union? Let us hear. We
want to know who are the disunionists on
that nearest and most vital question. Let
them wear mark by all means.
But how is this union to be effected p
Over the corpse of National Party? 1t
matters not. Let National Party look af-
ter its quick or dead body, if it choose;
but the South must look after her own life
if she expect long to preserve it.
Before Mr.. Buchanan's election-which
we favored merely as protest against
Black Republicanism as embodied in FIRE.
mont-we predicted little from his Admin
istration, and warned the Southern people
against over-confdence in it. We were
not disappointed. We have got the little
we expected, thus far, with Gov. Walker
and his patent Kansas programme thrown
in TO swell the magnitude Of the littleness.
And everywhere the intelligent Southern
press, and Southern thinkers and readers,
are beginning to realize the verify of our
predictions, enforced as they are by the
irresistible "logic of events7-predictions
that were not in us prophetic, because they
were only tho result of careful and patient
The signs are certainly
more cheering than usual. Southern
thought shows symptoms of wakening; the
southern pulse begins to beat with vigor;
and the might that slumbers in the South
ern arm is struggling to be loosed. Let
the union of Southern hearts, and hands,
and hopes, prosper. Who are the dis
unionists, we ask again, who say nay to
this? Let them speak"

SENECA COUNTY BANK.-We learn from
headquarters that the cashier of the Seneca
County Bank at Tifin, has deposited the
sum of $32,l2s IA in the bills of that
bank with the Auditor of State, to be with.
drawn from circulation. This is the sum
of the State bonds of that Bank not yet re-
turned to the Treasury, the bank to take
upon itself the risk of their return to it,
The $4,000 of Ohio bonds found in the
Treasury safe, and the 100000 of Ohio
bonds just redeemed by Mr.. Gibson of At
wood & Co., of New York, equal the
amount of bank notes of the Seneca County
Bank now in circulation, as appears by the
bank registry books of the department.
We again advise the holders of Seneca
county Bank paper TO make no sacrifices
upon il, as we know of no reason why it is
not abundantly safe. Every dollar is secur-
ed by corresponding dollar Of Ohio State

About CrinOline--LaughabIe.

At the last ball at the Hotel de Vile,
given in honor of the King of Bavaria, the
public, or rather "the million" that garnish-
ed the approaches to the city palace, were
the spectators of singular circumstance
in the onward and upward progress ofcrino-
line. The husband and wife were, in al
most every carriage, separated: the hus-
band mounted on the box beside the coach
man, the wife occupying alone the interior
But it was not this fact that excited the
ridicule of the crowd; the hoops were SO
enormous and the dresses SO precious, that
their wearers could not sit down. So that
when the doors were opened, the ladies
were found standing up in the carriage,
the body bent forward, the hands fastened
to the cords, offering side profile that re-
sembled a jockey at the outcome of race.
It was hard work, for the quene of carriages
was long and the halts frequent, SO that
they arrived with faces the color of boil
ed lobster; but they were amply compen-
sated for their perseverance by immaculate
skirts and faithful hoops.-N Y. Times.

Disastrous Railroad Accident.
-Four Persons Killed and I'penty Woun-
MARIETTA, Ohio, July l, 1856

| MARIETTA, Onlo, July L, 1891.
EDS. C6M. The Cincinnati night train
on the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad,
due here at o'clock, met with terrible
accident about half mile this side of Vim
cents station and twelve miles of this city,
at o'clock this morning. AT this point
there is trestle some 800 feet long and
SO feet hight. The regular track at the
west end of it is not finished and the trestle
is reached by rever curve on tempo
rary track. The train had Just entered
upon the trestle, when the passenger car,
from some unknown cause, ran off upon the
northern side, became uncoupled from the
baggage car: plunged forward and fell to
the ground, bottom upward, and was bro
ken into fragments. There were in the car
between twenty and thirty persons. The
wonder is that every one of them was not
instantly killed. There were four taken out
of the car dead, and the Others more or less
wounded. One has since died and several
others so badly injured that their recovery
is doubtful. The following list is as near
correct as it is possible to make it in the
hurry of sending you this dispatch.
Mrs. Brigham, wife of VIM. Brigham, of
Marietta, dead.

dead.

Late and Interesting from Kan

Mr.. VIM. F. NJ. Arney. arrived in Chi
cago Tuesday, direct from Kansas, of which
he has become a citizen. The Tribune
gives ths following interesting items touch
ing the condition of things and prospects
IN the Territory, obtained from Mr.. Arney:
The whole number of votes cast by the
Border Ruffans, alias the ''National Democ-
racy," for delegates to the Constitutional
Convention, will not exceed $500, out of
population of fully 10000 male adults.
The bona fide Free State men refrained
everywhere from voting. The other side
are split into two factions-moderates and
ultras-the latter headed BY Strinsfellow.
Calhoun, st. Matthews, Jones & Co.; the
the other by Gov. Walker, whose faction
is in minority in their own party. The
point npon which they divide is ON the
policy of submitting the consemplated Con-
stitution 10 general vote of the people for
ratification.
A new question has sprung up to per-
plex matters. The usurpers say that none
shall be allowed to vote this fall for dele
gate to Congress and for members of the
Territorial Legislature, save the few who
have been registered. This is done to pre-
vent four-ffths of the Free State men from
voting. A committee had waited upon
Gov. Walker, to ascertain his opinion as to
who were entitled to vote, but be had de-
clined TO give an opinion. Trouble was
brewing. The Free State men are bound
to vote at that election, at all hazards.
Crops looked well in the Territory, and
the prospect of raising supply of bread
stuffs was fattering. Emigration continu-
ed to flow into Kansas in an unabated
stream. Speculation and enterprise were
making long and rapid strides.
The Free State men were taking care
full census of the population, setting fourth,
lst, the number of voters who had been re-
sidents for six months. I'd. Voters in the
Territory. Sd. Women and children. 4th.
Colored persons-free and slave. In the
county of Anderson, in which Mr.. Arney
resides, there were fully 600 voters. Six
months ago there were not dozen. The
county seat-Hyatt-contains 25O voters.
The Free State party were united and
harmonious, and sanguine of success on the
first opportunity they could obtain to show
their strength.

Clippings.

In Chicago the other day, broker lost
the key of his safe. The lock, door, sides
and top and bottom of the safe defed gun
powder and steel. The means of meeting
his engagements were inside the tight thing.
But so much time was lost in the efforts to
open it, that the broker could not borrow
or 'carry over" in the last half hour, and
his credit was ruined.
Mr.. Samuel Clay, Jr., of Bourbon Coun-
ty, KY. went to Mexico last winter, bought
three hundred mules and forty horses, and
drove them to Illinois, where they have
just arrived. They will be fatteued, driven
to New Haven, Conn.,, and then shipped
to the West Indies and sold.
The Sullivan (Indiana) Democrat says
that few days ago German woman,
living near Carlisle, left her babe, about
month old, in the cradle in the house,
and went out into the field where her hus-
band was at work. After remaining about
an hour she returned, and found to her
horror that her baby had been stolen and
negro baby left in its place. No clue can
be obtained as to the whereabouts of the
white child, and the mother, consequently,
is in great distress.
Two watchmen in Philadelphia recently
set few old papers on fire, at midnight,
on the stairs of q large building, and when
they were nearly burnt out extinguished

ported it as fire which they had discover
ed and extinguished at great personal
trouble, but the other not being ''up to
snuff the whole affair leaked ont. 20

Distressing and Fatal Accident.

The following account of a heart-rend.
ing casualty in York county, Pa, We copy
from the York Eagle:
On Monday afternoon, MI. Casper Hib-
Ter went to his well in the yard for the
purpose of drawing water, when the walls
caved in, precipitating him down the we'll
a distance of seventeen feet 1.-THE well is
about forty feet deep, where he was firmly
held by earth and stones, unable to extri-
cate himself At the time the accident oc-
Cured, Mr.. Hibler was alone at home, his
wife having gone to visit her mother who
was i'll. She retrned about five o'clock,
and found her husband in the well. The
alarm was Immediately given and siren
uous efforts made by the neighbors to res
cue him from his perilous situation. They
worked faithfully, and at one time within
eighteen inches of him the unfortunate
man conversing with them all the time
Their exertions, however, seemed to avail
bat little, for as fast as they succeeded in re-
moving the earth and stones, fresh quanti-
ties would fall upon him. Finding their
exertions in his behalf of no avail, the
doomed man shortly after midnight, re-
quested that his wife might be brought
within hearing of his voice, that he might
bid her last farewell. His request was
with, and we leave the reader to
imagine the scene-the anguish of mind
of her who, on the 14th of April last, he
led to the altar bride. At one o'clock
on Tuesday morning he ceased to exist,
and his lifeless body was found about four
o'clock, much bruised, with one hand off.

re- Yesterday. the State of Ohio NO;

E Yesterday, the State of Ohio paid
over four hundred thousand dollars, being
the semi-annual interest on her foreign
debt. 1t is matter of special qualification
that we have ever met our engagements to
the letter. Notwithstanding the shock
which the discovery of the condition of our
Treasury gave the people, the good name
and credit of the State were so dear 10 ev-
ry citizen, that no one permitted himself to
poubt that the July interest would be
promptly paid. Our Fund Commissioners
acted as the emergency required. Men of
capital at once stepped forward, and advan-
ced whatever was necessary for the occa-
sion. Not only is the interest promptly
paid, but the new Treasurer has made am
pie arrangements by which all the current
expenses of the State will continue to be
met IS they are presented. This is graft
flying to our State pride, and demonstrates
the confidence of our solid men in the re-
sources and integrity of the State.-State
