COLLISION on THE HUDSON RIVER RAuRoAp

COLLISION on THE HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD.
"A serious colision-the result, apparently,
of careleSsness-occurr about four o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, on the Hudson River
Railroad, some two miles north of Tarrytown.
The Albany Express train was run into by the
Sing Sing way train, the rear car completely
demolished, and the one next to it badly bro
ken. 1t appears from statement made by
passenger, who was in the last car but one at
the time of the accident, that the Albany Ex
press train was standing still when the col
lison occurred, having stopped for The Dur.
pose of making repairs to the engine. 1t is
also worthy of note that this was the third
Stoppage made for the same purpose after the
train left Albany. The collision resulted in
the death of Mrs. T. W. Field aud the per-
manent and perhaps fatal injury of several
others.

Coal BURNING LoCoMoTIvEs.-Ther are
now seven coal burning engines in use on the
New York and New Haven Railroad, and il
costs only about half as much to perform the
same amount of labor with them now as when
they bnrnt wood. The Providence and Wor-
cester Railroad burns nothing but coal, and
has materially reduced its fuel expenses Ten
years ago the cost of fuel on this road was
$4,000 per annum last year, using coal ex,
clusvely, the expenditure on this account was
but 5000 We understand that coeI burn
ing engines are now being constructed for the

The Albany Ereniag Journal, in an article
in reference TO the position of parties in Con,
gress, remarks as follows
There is no doubt the Republicans have a
score of men in the House competent to fill the
Speakers chair. But only one can occupy it.
The majority of the Republican members have
selected Mr.. Sherman as that one No other
man, Of any party, has received nearly as many
votes on any ballot 1t is not his friends, there,
fore, who are responsible for the delay in the
organization but the scattered and fragment
ed Democracy-whose only power consists it
wasting time by long speeches, and in scatter
ing their votes upon one another"
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1860-01-26
CONGRESS.

In the House, on Friday Mr.. SHERMAN
made a raghtforward, manly and defiant
speech which, Gas we learn from the Tribune
correspondent produced a great impression on
the floor, and crowded the galleries 1t was
called out by Mr. Clark's declaration that ne
had afforded him an opportunity to explain
his connection with the Helper Book Mr.
Sherman exposed the inrorrcctness of that
statement by showing that he had demanded
the withdrawal of the offensive resolution on
former occasion, and now repeated that chal-
lenge, with the frank assurance that he was, as
he had been, ready to meet every responsible
ty and while his personal dignity was front
ed by the reflection contained in the resOlu-
tions, he would refuse any explanations in spite
of consequences He charged distinctly that
the resolutions were kept suspended purposely
to deny him the opportunity and to prevent
an organization.
During his speech, the House was impressive
ly still, until, as the electric thrill penetrated,
it burst into Spontaneous applause Numbers
OF frank Southern men expressed their cordial
appreciation Of the high spirit and noble bear
ing evinCed by Mr.. Sherman while the body
of his own friends responded with a generous
greeting.
The country will see in these proceedings the
determination Of the Disunonsts to prevent
an election, and keep the House in condition
Of anarchy till after the Chaleston conven-
ton.
Congress was not in session on Saturday /;
but the Democratic and Republican members
diverted themselves with caucuses during that
day and Sunday, but nothing was arrived at
giving the least hope Of an oganization. The
Democrats agreed to try as their candidate
WM. N. SMITH, of North Carolina, formerly
an old line Wing, but at present acting with
the South Americans. The Anti-Lecomp-
toniteS are still determined to hold themselves
aloof from both parties, while the Republicans
| adhere to Mr. SHERMAN, claiming that TO other
candidate on their side of the House can re-
ceVe so large a number of votes.
The troubles in the Cabinet continue and
are said to have originated in the persistent
desire of Postmaster General HoIr to remove
Mr.. Isaac Cook the somewhat obnoxious
Postmaster at Cl.cago, and in the determine
tion Of the Secretary of War to order to Flor
ida Capt. MEIGs, now engaged on the A que
duct at Washington.
Senator DOUGLAS expected to speak Mon,
day, and prominent men from all parts of the
country we're congregating at the Capitol to
hear him. He was to attempt to show that
the President had the authority to repress in
vasions of one State by the citizens of another
again placing himself in direct opposition to
the Chief Executive

EDTrcR OF THE REPoRrER-The election for
State Treasurer took. place on Monday last,
when Eli SMFER was re elected, receiving 81
votes 10 Al votes for John w MAYNARD. This
tribute to Mr.. SIS conduct as public officer,
was we'll deserved, as he made an excellent
State Treaurcr and is acknowledged by all
parties to be strictly honest
The contested case from the SixteeHth dis
trict of Philadelphia, developed in its investi-
CATION the manner in which election frauds are
perpetrated in the city of Brotherly Love.
Dr.WnEY, the contestant, only asked recount
of the votes. The Committee decided to open
the boxes, and a recount showed that 40 votes
for him had been counted for his opponent,
Mr. DUFFIELD, electing the former by ma
iority or thirteen. The Committee reported
the facts with resolution declaring DIR. WILEY
entitled to the seat He was accordingly
sworn in.
The resolutions ic regard to the organization
of Congress which had already passed the
Senate, came up in the House, on Tuesday,
and Was very fully discussed by Messrs. KIN
NEY STRONG, LAWRENCE, WLLIsToN, SMEAD,
and others, in their favor, and was finally
adopted by vote of 81 yeas to 80 nays.
Mr. KINNEY, in the course of the debate,
referred to the celebrated Wlmot Proviso
resolutions of the Legislature, presented in
the House, in lS47, by Col. PIoLLET and voted
for in the Senate 10y Senator BIGLER, and
showed the inconsistent course pursued by the
| socalled Democratic party, in regard to the
question of freedom 10 the Territories The
vote upon the resolutions was strictly party
one, the Democrats appaudng and endorsing
! the conduct of the disorganizers, who are pre-
venting the election Of Speaker, for the pur-
pose of producing disorder and anarchy
Mr. WnLIsroN made lengthy speech upon
the resolutions, and spoke ably and to the
point Ae is somewhat more radical in his
views than some of the members with whom
he acts, who are not yet quite ready to face
the inevitable music. They are, however,
fast learning that the " irrepressble conflict, 4"
is one which cannot be shirked, and must be
squareIy met.
The Commissioners to codify the laws Of
the State have made long and able report,
which will be time be published.
The Senate adjourned over from Thursday
until Monday afternoon, which will give most
of the Senators an opportunity to make a
flying visit home.
The approach of the time for holding the
Republican State Convention, directs atten-
tion to the Gubernatorial Candidates. Most
prominent are Messrs. CovoDE, TAGGART and
CURTIN. Many Of the counties have already
elected Delegates, and it would appear as if
CURTIN at present had the inside track. How
ever, the aspect of things may be materially
changed by the 22d proximo. There will be
great many complimentary votes cast upon
the first ballot, and the final result will depend
in great measure upon whom these votes
shall fall

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-Last week Judge Jor-
dan, Of Northumberland county, decided, in
reference to an exemption note, under the act
exemptng from levy and sale property of the
value of three hundred dollars, that the words
" And 1c'thO~t any relief from The Homestead
Exemption Lqtc," added to the ordinary note
constituted good and valid exemption note,
and in action of trespass for the sale of pro-
perty on such note, instructed the jury to
find for the defendant. The Judge very pro-
perIy stated that the object of the party max.
ing the note was to waive an exemption, and
it could refer to nothing else than the three
hundred dollars exemption law. This decision
if, we believe, in accordance with a recent
decision of the Supreme Court, not yet report,
