retiring board from this charge, and re-
fer our readers to the exhibit of county
expenses, published in our paper of the
9Th of July last. There it will be OBJ
served that the sum of five hundred and
odd dollars had to be levied to defray the
expenses of case removed to an adjoin-
ing county. When it is known that this
case was taken from our county upon the
affidavit of john W. DARBY, ESQ.,, now
a Know-nothing candidate for Judge of
the Orphans Court, that fair and i'm
partial trial could not be had in Montgo-
merry, re think this charge Of ex.raya-
gance comes with bad grace from any
member Of that party, especially those
who intend to support Mr.. u. We
doubt not that many of our readers will
be surprised to learn that Mr.. d. ever
thought-much less swore-that fair
and impartial jury could not be found in
Montgomery county to try civil case in
which he was interested. He had lost
confidence in the honesty and integrity
of the men Of Montgomery, and swore
that justice would not be melted out to
him; his case was removed; the cost of
trying it forwarded to the Commissioners
for payment, who, Ike honest men, le-
We'd upon the asscssable property of the
county percentage to pay it; and then
some OF his party raise the cry of ex-
travagance. We have been led to these
rsmarks, in defence of the retiring Com
missioners; and now appeal to every one
interested in our county affairs to frown
upon this attempt to cast odium upon the
innocent

EXPLOSION ON THE GREAT EASTERN
An explosion occurred on board the
steamer Great Eastern, on the 9th inst.
off Hastings. The funnel was blown
into the air, tearing in pieces the grand
saloon and doing great damage to the
internal outfttings. The guests had
Just quilted the saloon and escaped injury.
The force of the explosion was terrific,
but the ship resisted the shock, her frame
sustaining no injury. The accident made
so little difference in the movements of
the ship that the engines never stopped
till she reached Portland, where an in
quest was held, which showed that the
supply of the boilers through the water
jacket was stopoed, because of the failure
of an auxiliary pumping power. Sec
ondly, tap in stand pipe which acts
as safety valve was turned apparently
Intentionally, so that the pipe was useless.
The ship was almost without motion du-
ring the trip, when large ships were toss
ing in the stormy sea- The injury would
be repaired in five days.
