five more, two Of which have since died As
the special Fair train which was run from
Kalamazoo 70 Niles, in the evening, for the &C.
cOmmOdaton of visitors, was on lis wav between
Kalamazoo and LAYTON, some miscreants, too
contemplate to call men, uucoupled some of the
rear cars from the train, aad it being dark the
fact was Tnnoticed, the rowdes having previously
cut the bell rope. The forward part OF the train
run on to LawtOn aud stopped, and the road De-
tween that place and Kalamazoo being on a down
grade the balance of the train came laundering
on behind. Upon its being noticed the signal
was given for the brakes, which were promptly
applied, but owing TO the momentum which the
cars had attained il was impossible TO stop them,
and they run into the rear end of the motonless
part Of the train, with the result stated above.
aud also with considerable damage to the cars.
The stock express train from the west was stand

q A delegation from the States Of Missouri
and Kansas, numbering between sixty and sew
enty from each State, is now at Washington
and design presenting an address to the Presi
dent asking the removal Of Gen. Schofeld and the
appointment Of new man in his stead, in favor
of the radical sentiment Of the people composing
that district. 1t is presumed that they will name
Gen. Butler for the position. From the points
given, which will probably appear in the address,
they make strong plea in behalf Of the radicals
in Missouri, and take grounds in favor Of the i'm
mediate emancipation of the slaves in that State,
and more rigid policy on behalf of the general
government in reference to the affairs of the
district which they represent.

FREE LABOR IN LOUIsIASA.-The system Of
free labor adopted by the planters in Louisiana is
working admirably. The New Orleans Deia
says one year viii show a wonderful change in
the condition of affairs on the banks Of the Ms
sissippi. In those sections where there have
been no Interruptions from guerilias the negroes
have performed wonders in bringing forward the
crops. In many cases crop OF cotton has been
secured OF a good average yield an acre, in ad-
dition 10 sugar and corn, enough to nearly
pay the expenses OF the plantation. Not the
slightest difficulty has been experinced in
getting plenty Os hands, aud they are easily
stimulated to work faithfully without applying
corporal punishment. The Era i certain that
more energy and more profitable results viii at

ncuocRAriC nAss CONVENTION.
THE CONNTITU rioS.

The following pair OF resolutions were
adopted as . portion Of the platform OF
tho Republican party Of Iowa, at the
recent Stats convention
/. That when our fathers framed onr
constitution. and founded thereon re-
publican form Of government, they IN
tended to, and did, grant 10 that govern,
ment full power to sustain its nallohal
existence.
.. That whenever the life OF the Re
public is endangered, either by invasion
or rebellion, the constitution jnsuties the
use OF all necessary means known TO CIV.
ilized warfare in resisting invasion OF
supprcssing rebellion.
Ordinarily there could be no excep-
tons taken to these resolutions. Atihe
first sight they read well but they are
Of the good Lord, good devil sort
their trainers not knowing what Their
fate might be.
l, j. tree tina, in framing the consti-
tuition our fathers granted everything
necessary for the maintsinsnee OF tie
eoyernmen.-and not o1ly aid they
grant i; hu. they expressed il 10 PLAN
english. The intent OF the resolutions
evidently j. 10 convey the idea that the
constitution provides tbs. It's own pro
visions NAV be di.regsrded IN time OF
war; or 10 other words tina, the cons'-
iI,ion grants 10 the administration the
right to do any act !, NAV see II, to do,
no matter what, whenever the life OF
the republic is endangered" Thus the
President is no longer a presiding officer
under the constitution, bat despo,
whose will is law, and whose hehes,s in
oil things must be obeyed. We will not
argue such an alroclous assumption
We leave that task to republican con

We scarcely need say that the arrest

that the issue of The campaign is fairly

might have added with equal truth, thai
