mans party is opposed TO extending equal
political rights to the black man. and is ready
To use bis official power to replungc into the

and then waited til they heard the distant
rumh!ins Of tie lightning train, and then
they wcnt home.
The train came rafting down the valley
towards the river. The great lantern threw
its light along the track far into the dark
ness. This stream of light flashed upon the
ROADWAY. and danced along over the ground
long distance before the engine. The en-
yineer kept watch The wind whiStled by
his ears, they were going SO fast. He kept
his hand on the lever of the engine ready to
act in an instant if he should see another
rock on the track But there va, no rock
there. The wicked men had not done such
great thing as putting rock on the track.
They had only moved the switch one little
inch. Such thing the engineer could not

tied as the engine wheels struck it; the great
engine shook, as it was thrown suddenly "a
side upon the turnout. The engineer sprang
to the levers he blew the whistle he re-
versed the engine but all in vain. In an
instant the ponderous train plowed upon the
ground at the end of the siding, and plunged
over the bank, and rolled with terrific energy
over the rocks into the water below. 1t was
an awful scene that night-men, women and
children drowned, crushed, scalded, MANNED
and the whole train wrecked and ruined be-

switch just one little inch.

South Carolina Mission.

Mr.. Mcmminger, the Commissioner from
South Carolina to Virginia, is to be in Rich
mond this week. Virginia is not quite ready
to unite with South Carolina in forming a
Southern Confcderacy and separating from
the present Union. Virginia is able to main
tain her rights in the Union, and while she
can do so will not go ont of it.
In these days when some Of the States are
sending or talking about sending commission
crs to see about matters looking to change
or revolution in our Government, it will be
well TO recur to first principles. At Il meet
ing of tho citizens Of Loudon county, Virginia
held 1880, ten years ago, the following resolu-
ton, among others, was passed
" Resolved, That the people of the United
States have delegated to their public function
aries so much po,cer as is necessary to enable
them to administer the existing Governments
which the people have established, and no
more; and they have reserved to themselves en-
o~lnsirely the power Of deciding when and for
what cause their institutions shall be changed
or subverted."
This appears to us to be the true doctrine
We DO not say that wrong is not TO be righted,
and that intolerab!e oppression is not to be
met with revolution, if necessary; hut the peo-
pie have reserved to themselves. and not given
to their members of Congress or State Legis-
%latures, the power TO effect or pave the way for
that "last of all remedies. Alexandria Ga

The Disunion Rauters.

The New York Courier and Enquirer says
Those who are familiar with Congressional
debates, need not be told, that the genei :,
character Of the Southern speeches ON the
floor of the House OF Representatives, is char
acterizcd by reckless .f'ppancy rather than by
dignity, discretion or judgement. And the
speeches of such men as Keitt, G~artrell, Leake
and some twenty others, vino have foolishly
and chIldishiy proclaimed on the floor of the
House, that the election of William II. Sew
ard to the Presidency, or Sherman as Speaker,
would be abundant cause for a dissolution of
the Union, and that the South will therefore
secede, are only evidences of the weakness and
folly of thoye who thus stultify themselves, in
stead of conveying to the country the feelings
and opinions of any large portion of their con-
stituents. 1t is melancholy to reflect that such
weak and childish men, can be elected to seats
in Congress but it must be borne in mind,
that all political power in the Southern coun-
try, is in the hands of the two hundred and
fifty thousand shareholders, and that a majority
of the six millions OF " poor white men " who
do not hold slaves, are in such a miserable con-
dition, that books have been published and cir
cu!ated in favor of reducing them to a state of
slavery and many Southern presses have
openly advocated such proceedings. 1t follows
then, that these " ire-ealers," us they boast
fully call themselves, represent simply the
slave power of the South, or in other words,
the two hundred and fifty thousand Of the six
million of white and four million of colored
population Of the Southern States.

An Editors Experience in Washington.

We were i'll Washington two or three weeks
ago; We heard from all quarters that the great
mass Of the members OF both sections were
heavily f~reighted with all sorts Of portable ia
%ciiities for letting blood. We believe we were
rather u pet of both sections, and we hope we
batray no sacred confidence in saying that
whenever Northern OF Southern members got
a little maudIin and threw their arms affection
ately around US (0f course to steady them
selves we almost invariably felt the butts of
pistols and the hats of bowie-knives press
against our shrinking frame.
One morning we put our overcoat in the
rack at Browns Hotel and went to breakfast.
When we returned our coat was gone, but an
other somewhat resembling it lay ntar. We
took mp the latter, but put it back with horror
on finding a big frightful looking revolver in
one of the pockets. With some misgivings,
such as Il man might be supposed to feel in
opening what he suspected to be an informal
machine, we took up the next. ind To-, there
was u big pistol in one pocket and something
in the other that we d;du't step 10 examine
Finding the rack to be a well furnished arsenal
We withdrew, and the day being cod, We re
manned an honr and Il half in the hotel, care
fully scrutinizing the inieguments of every gen.
tlcman that seemed to have Il particularly gen
eel overcoat. At length we returned to the
arsenal, and the coat first examined by us re
manned there. Concluding flat even a fire
eater couldn't have been breakflsting SO long
unless upon coa's and aqHatGrtis tea, We were
about calling for ~ servant to take the tirc-arm
out of the pocket 1--WE have Il mortal ~antipatLy
to touching such things curse f) Intending to
wear the coat, for it was 4 very handsome one,
until we should encounter our own hanlsnmer
one. AZ that moment a very nj i hammered
Western member of Congress stepped up. and
seeing at oncc that we looked like a gentleman
who had lost something, remarked that he re-
ally believed he had got somebody elsc's over
coat. The matter was al made right al once,
but we cou.dnt help thinking how awkward
and insecure the member must have felt, when,
in the very act perhaps of walking along
among other Congressional be.ligcrants, he
had thrust bis hai.I into what he supposed 10
be his pocket and found nothing there more
dangerous to life than Il dozen pretty notes
from Il dozen pretty poe;esses.-Loa suiHc Jour
