,4hs Uncharitablensss Of the Opposition to
I. their oAa, Ks1kbers.

When Mr.. Reemeiin was appointed by the
Democratic Legislature as onesof the Treasury
Investigating Committee, with Messrs. Morgan
and Edgerton, he enjoyed, imam eminent de
gree, the confidence OF Gov. Chase and the
Republican party, and which known fact, in
connection With his admitted ability for such 9
business, was the reason for his selection. He
was selected and urged by the Republicans anG
accepted by the Democrats. What the motive
of the Republicans was forwishing Mr.. Reeme
lin on the Commission we cannot say. We
suppose it was to have a man of ability and
friendly to them, who would not permit his
colleagues to impose a false statement on the
public injurious to their party or any leading
member of it.
The Committee, after a long and laborious
investigation, in which a great many witnesses
were examined and much testimony taken
made their report-a unanimous one. It wal
hardly made before it was violently asailed by
the Republican press and Mr.. Reemelin assigned
. place in regions not agreeable to Christian con.
temptation. Mr.. Reemeiin was repudiated al
a Republican. His Democratic antecedents
were alleged against him, and he was charged
with having gone back to his first love.
And why, reader, why has Mr. Reemelin
been assaulted by his own party friends with SC
much bitterness and so little charity? What
great wrong has be done We will tell you
He refnsed to 4etths knaxe and screen these
members of the Opposition who had participa.
ted in plundering the public Treasury. That
is the whole of it. He would not be the
dishonest man they expected and wanted him
to be. He would not hide the rascalities oil
members of his own party. Their idea seems
to have been that he was selected by the party
for the purpose of keeping its members from
being exposed. He did not think so. He
thought he was placed on the committee ofnd
ont for the people who stole their money, OF
what had become of it, and to tell all he could
discover-to give light, not to hideit-to com-
municate information not to bury ito give
names and dates and circumstances. He per-
formed his duty to the people, and for that he
is denounced by his own party press. They
seem to think that when a Democrat forsakes
his party and joins theirs he must turn rascal
also. That must be the reason why they are
SO keen to take them up for Office. We are
glad to see them get bit Cincinnati Enquirer.

a Terrible and Unavoidable Accident
from the Use Of Burning Fluid.


The Reading (Pa.) Gazette has the follow
ing:
We are panied to record the particulars of
another sad accident from burning fluid, which
occurred on Wednesday evening last at the
residence of Mr.. John s. Buckley, in Eighth
street, above Penn, and has proved fatal in its
results. Mrs. Buckley and her two daughters,
eight and ten years of age, were sitting at q
table, sewing by the light of a fluid lamr, when
the lamp suddenly exploded, scattering fire in
all directions. Mrs. B. had presence of mind
enough to throw the burning fragments towards
che door leading into the yard, but some of the
fire fell upon her dress, and she was almost in
stantly envoloped in flames.
Warning the children not to approach her,
she endeavored to stife the FIRE about her per-
SON with a piece of carpet, but finding it i'm
possible, she ran into the yard, where her cries
attracted the attention of Miller and other
neighbors, who fastened to her assistance. A
portion of her clothing was entirely consumed,
and she was horribly burnt almost over her en-
tire body, before the flames were ever extin-
guished. The furniture of the room also took
fire, but it was put out before doing any dam
age. Mrs. Buckley fingered in great agony
until Thursday evening, when death put an
end to her suffcrings.
This fearful accident was not the result OF
carelessness, but produced from causes to which
all who use fiuid lamps are exposed. An ex-
animation of the lamp, which was a medium
sized Britannia one, proved that it had been
eaten through by the action of the fluid upon
the metal, owing to which the gas escaped, and,
communicating with the light, caused the ex-
p~losion.

GREAT FIRE IN New ORLEANs.-On the
9Th q fire broke ont in Chase & Lays cotton
establishment on Greatment street which de-
stroyed property to the amount of above half a
million of dellars- The cotton yards Nos 1,
2, 8 and 4 were destroyed with some 1900
bales of cotton. Seventy houses were also con-
sumed. The engines were promptly on the
ground, but useless in consequence of there be-
ing no water in the plugs. No lives we're lost
though the three children of MI. Benedict, clerk
of one of the yards had a very narrow escape
from his house while burning. Two of them
we're resued by some gallant individual I'M
known, the other, q little girl, was found by
her father asleep upon the bed when the whole
front of the house vas in flames, and he had to
gain access By the back way.

The Black Republicans run a Mr. Stansbury
for Mayer; the Douglas party run G. NJ. Dorr

We beat Dorr III, and the Black Republican
800. The little junto of political traders can
not control the Democracy of this Congress

The sickles Tragedy.

WASHINGTON, April Is.
The Court room is crowded to excess to- day
as it has been since the commencement of the
trial. The interest in it does not abate a jot,
but rather becomes intensified from day to
day. There is so much time consumed by
counsel in arguing the questions that arise that
but little progress is made, and weeks may yet
elapse before the trial may be brought to a
close.
