PoLITICAL INTERFERENoE.-We are in<
formed that Mr.. Mercer. one Of the su.
pervisors of repairs on the N. w. Va
Railroad, has discharged one of his
"bosses." because he voted for the Dem.
ocratic candidate for Clerk of the Coun
ty Court for this county. at the last cleo.
ton, and declared his intention to do the
same thing again. We had before heard
that Mr.. Mercer had declared that none
of the hands under him should go to the
election unless they would vote for the
Know Nothing candidate and that most Of
the hands on his division were kept away
from the polls. 1t seems that he is now
applying still more rigorous rule to those
who are not disposed to be controlled.
body and soul, by him. This interior.
ence with the most sacred right of an
American citizen is unbecoming any
man. and particularly one whose resi>
dence among US has been so ehort tina.
he himself is not entitled to vote. II
the railroad is to be made political en-
CINE. the sooner our people know it the
better.
In justice to Mr.. Spates. another of the
supervisors on the road. we will say
that at the last election he directed his
"bosses" to let the men go to the polls
and vote for whom they pleased. We
hope he will continue to pursue this hon.
orable and gentlemanly course.

THE DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE New
YORK AND ERIE RA11RoAD.-NEwY York,
july l6.-The dreadful accident last
evening to the express train ON the Erie
railroad. which leaves Jersy City at &
o'clock, P. NJ, creates much sensation
The train had arrived within miles oil
East Port Jervis when the last two cars
were thrown from the track by broken
rail, precipitating them down an embark.
ment thirty or forty feet. The passen
gers in the forward cars were thrown into
the greatest disorder by the sudden break
and on gaining their feet they opened the
windows and doors Of the cars, and heard
the shouts and means Of the dying and
wounded beneath them. The greatest
confusion prevailed, some running to and
fro. calling on the conductor 10 stop the
train, while others rang the bell attached
to the engine in rapid succession. The
engine soon stopped and the passengers
ran to the spot. where the walls of the
dying and wounded were truly heart.
rending.
The train was Immediately sent on to
Port Jervis for medical aid, and in an
hour four medical men of that place we're
on the ground. In the meantime the
passengers had been busy at work taking
out the dead and wounded from between
the broken fragments and laid them upon
the grass.
A passenger who was present says the
scene was beyond description. Children
were crying for their fathers and moth.
ers, and husbands seeking their wives.
Six persons were killed, and one SO badly
injured that he cannot possibly survive:
torty-four others were injured-some Sc
verely. others slightly.
One of the passengers remarked to
another a few moments before the acct
dent that he thought the train was going
too fast. He had scarcely finished the
sentence when the car in which they were
seated went over. He was in the ruins
about fifteen minutes. and was severely
bruised about the head. He took out of
the ruins four children. one dead. At
the time of the accident no lights were
burning in the cars, which is something
very unusual on the Erie trains.

Messrs. Enders, Sutton q Co., Brokers IN

steps for instructing Bank officer in les.

The case is this: Messrs. Euders, Sat.
ton & Co. presented q number Of checks
for payment at the counter Of a Bank n
Staunton. The Law explicitly exacts a
settlement in specie Of all demands
against the Banks when required by their
creditors. Nevertheless. the Cashier Of
the Central Bank of Staunton signi6ed-
willingness to pay Messrs. Enders & Sut>
ton in notes of all sorts, and in no other
manner. Whereupon Messrs. Enders &
Sutton put their checks in the hands Of
notary for protest. This little Formally
will insure them payment in specie with
damages to considerable amount; and
so the unaccommodating cashier of the
Central Bank at Staunton will be com.

TIE County CouRr.-The County
Court closed its session at the July term
on Saturday last. Most Of the time Of
the Court was occupied in hearing the
contested election case for Clerk of the
County Court. though the usual amount of
other business was transacted. In this
case new election was ordered to take
place on the first Thursday in September
next, the Cd. The Court having expressed
desire to have the next class of magis~
trates associated with them in the trial OF
this case. and a question arising as to
its authority to do so. Messrs. VIM. E.
Lyon and David Bassell were associated
with the regular Court, (Messrs. E. w.
Patton. J. B. West and A. Radcliff.) by
consent; Mr.. Lyon taking the place of s.
M. Ogden, Esq, who was not present.
In accordance with custom, E. w.
Patton. Esq, resigned his place as
presiding magistrate. and all the JUS
tees were ordered 10 be summoned in
at the August term to elect another pres
ident of the Court. A very general de-
sire was felt by the bar and others inter-
ested, that Mr.. Patton should retain his
place, and letter numerously signed.
was addressed to him expressing this de.
sire, but he deemed himself honorably
bound to pursue the usual custom. and
did so. .a
AS a vacancy would occur in the Office

Clerk pro. tenn. until Clerk could be
