A NEW PRoposITIoN-The papcrs ar

A New PRoPosITIoN.-The papers are
circulating a proposed amendment to the
Constitution, which contemplates the con-
slant succession of the Vice President to
the Presidency. A President and Vice
President are elected. AT the end of four
years the former retires and the latter
takes his place Of course, at each sub
sequent election only Vice President is
chosen In this way the one-term rule
is adopted the Vice President is selected
with special reference to his fitness for
the first position and for four years he
is being educated for the vast responslbil-
tiles he is to assume.

Joint ballot.

In the XXITd Senatorial district. com
posed of Cambria, Indiana and Jefferson
counties, we have achieved most signal
victory. This was the only naturally Re-
publican district in the State wherein a
determined stand was made by the oopo-
sition, and they lett no means, soever dis
honorable, untried to defeat Harry White.
the Union candidate, and elect Kennedy
L.. Blood, their own candidate. The re-
suit is that White is elected by a MAORI
ty Of 1889! So much for a ''close" dis
trict.
In our county the Democratic ticket is
elected. Of course: no one expected any
thing e!se. But we have reduced their
majority considerably from last year Let
us look at it. In 1854 the highest Dem
ocratic majority received was 87S now
it is 855. In 1864, the average Demo-
cratic majority was S34, now it is 1872
If our full vote had been out, an6 if the
disfranchised deserters from the draft had
not been permitted to vote, we would
have elected our ticket-easily.
On the whole, we are well pleased with
the result. We might have done better,
but then, again, we might have done
worse. So

Terrible Railroad Accident.

On Saturday last, as the day express
tram east on the Pennsylvania Railroad
was within four miles of Lancaster, an
axle of the head passenger car broke, and
| a part of it striking the bottom of the car
near the front end, tore out part of the
bottom, precipitating the occupants eff
their seats, on each side, to the ground,
who were run over by the wheels of the
rear truck. Eight persons were killed
outright, and another died some hours
afterwards. Only two others were badly
hurt. The train consisted of seven pas
senger and two baggage cars. The last
four cars were thrown off the track, one
of which was turned on it's side No one
liz these cars were seriously hurt
The accident occurred nearly opposite
Mrs. Kaufiman's mill, IN a cut on the
road, nearly midway between Lancaster
ard Landisville. The passengers were
Immediately brought to Lancaster, where
preparations were made to minister to tho
wants of the wounded, the entire medical
force of the city being assembled at the
depot as soon as the news Of the accident
reached there.
Mrs. Barr, one of the killed, was the
wife of Hon James 2. Barr, of Pittsburg,
Surveyor General of Pennsylvania
Col. Butler, killed, was Whiskey inspec-
tor in Philadelphia.
". Ii. Butler, Clerk in the Surveyor
Generals Office, Penna.
Mrs. Willet, killed, was the wife of
Theodore Willet, of New Cumberland,
Pa.
The three children who were with Mrs.
Yetty, Cor Getty of Milwaukee, state that
their father had died in the south, and
that they were going to an aunt in Ph;la-
delphia, whose name they could not give.
Three females, evidently mother and
two daughters, and apparently Germans,
supposed to be recently from California,
have not yet been identified. One OF the
gir.s may have been fifteen years of age
and the other nine. All the bodies, ex-
cept that of Mrs. Yetty and the three not
identified, have been sent to their rela-
tives The others have been temporarily
deposited in vault 10 one Of our Gene
teries.
The train was running on schedule
time, and at the usual rate OF speed. The
breaking of the axle, which was the cause
cf the accident, appears to hayc been an
unavoidable occurrence.

sG Secretary Welles recently told the
editor of the Hartford Press that if Mr..
johnson was at home and private citi-
zen, he would favor negro suffrage in
Tennessee Senator Dooltitle's account
OF the Presidents wives is to the effect
that he should desire that each Southern
State should strike out all constitutional
restrictions upon colored suffrage, and
that the Legislature should be empowered
to extend from time to time, the rights of
suffrage to certain superior classes of the
coIored people, such as those who had per
formed the military service, who had for
lorg time been heads of families, and
supported them by their own industry,
and who had demonstrated clearly their
intellectual fitness to exercise the right of
suffrage.

The Result.

The returns from the different counties
OF the State are not all in yet, but enough
IS known to render it certain that the
Union majority will be in the neighbor-
hood of 10000. There is a great falling
OFT from the vote Of last year, which fact
operated badly for the Republican party.
The opposition always keep their forces
well in hand, while ,oe put much trust in
the righteousness of our cause and in
Providence. The result is, that there is
always loosensss of effort on our part on
eiection-day, while the opposition, thor
oughly organized aud drilled, march up
to the polls in solid phalanx. Our ma
jority, with the proper effort on our part,
might just as easily have been $4,000 as
10000 ;still, we do not complain as to the
latter figure. 1t is enough for all practi-
cal iEtents and purposes.
The new Legislature viii be largely.
Republican. The House will consist of
GA Republicans to 36 Democrats OF the
eleven Senators elected, are Republi-
cans, and 4 Democrats. This leaves the
Senate without change-19 Republicans
to IL Democrats. The Legislature will
therefore stand about as follows:

ANOTHER ATLANTIC CABLE.-Anoth-
er scheme of Atlantic telegraph eommuni-
cation is brought before the public by a
Spanish engineer, one Senior Arturo De
Manoartu. The route which he suggests
is from Lisbon or Cadiz through the Ca
nary and Cape Verd Islands, ST. Paul to
Cape St. Rogue, Cayenne and thence
along the Caribbean range to Key West,
there to be merged into the American
telegraph system.
The advantage of this line would be
that it could not be monopoly under the
control of one Govern ment, as the Irish
and New Foundland telegraph would have
been. The line would leave the most
western points of Europe, which are Span
ish, and join the most eastern coast of
America, which is Brazilian. This line
from CTccna st. Vincent in Europe, to Cape
San Rogue in America has the advantage
of passing ~ many important islands, ard
by various capes and banks tavorably sit
uated for the subdivision Of the length of
the line into short sections-shorter, in
deed, than many of the lines already es-
ta5lished between other points.
The protector declares that he has the
proper concessions from the Governments
interested, and that he expects TO be able
before long to commence operations.

William Young, one of the party, will bo

ToULoN, Stark Co., Ii., Feb. Is, 1865.
Nh. d. L. BEACH:
DEAR BROTHER IL will now give YOU a
brief statement of my travels, health and
arrival home, etc. /, with some eighty
men left Virginia, on foot, the day saw
you last at junction. Our baggage was
hauled in wagons. When we arrived at
the boat yard we found but two boats com
menced. A part of our men being dissst-
isfed returned from there; the remainder,
seventy three in number, assisted in build
ing the ugly crafts, but little better than
rafts, and on the seventh day thereafter
we showed out for America. We endured
about everything but death on the way.
We were over thirty days on the Yellos-
stone, part of the time cold and hungry
enough. Twenty miles from Fort Union
we froze in and had to leave our boats and
part of our goods, walking and packing to
Fort Union. There we left twenty-five of
our men; forty-eight of us moved on to
Fort Berthold. There we left Messrs. Lott,
Mace, McClallen, Brown and fifteen others;
Fuller stopped at Fort Union; thirty of us
footed it tonward, starting Dec. Sd, at p.
N. AT five O'Clock it showed, and continued
to do so until Monday. We lost our way
at eight O'Clock the first night, and oil hands
piled down on the open plain and let the
snow drive. Sabbath morning twenty
three of our number thought best to return
to Fort Berthold, and did so, while the re-
naming seven thought best to move for
ward. Monday evening we were captured
by some three hundred Indians and robbed
of all our grub, fire arms, and the most of
our bedding and clothing. They turned
US out at FIVE O'Clock next morning with
out anything to eat. The snow was near
five inches deep and the weather very cold.
We travelled some forty miles that day, and
1 froze my feet very badly. The next day
we only moved fifteen miles, it being very
cold. In the evening another man and I
were bringing in log for camp fire,
when he threw his end down and broke my
collar r-bone-then | was corraled. He
stopped with me in camp, and the others
went to Fort Rice, fifty miles distant, for q
team to take me in; but on the evening Of
that day (Thursdayl three families of In
dians, who were friendly, and who were
going to Fort Rice, let me have poney to
ride. We met the team eight miles from
Fort Rice, ON the fifth day, and turned them
back. stopped two weeks at Fort Rice to
recruit, and then got aboard Of an OK train
and arrived at Sioux City, Iowa, in four
weeks from Fort Rice, near FIVE hundred
miles, from thence to Tella by coach, and
then by rail home.
The remainder of the letter is of pri-
vate nature.

AT the present time there are some eigh-
tenn hundred laborers on the line Of the
Pacific Railroad from Newcastle to point
beyond Clipper Gap. They are distribu-
ted in as large gangs over the road as can
work to advantage, and the intention is to
have all portions of the road graded and
bridged as far as the Gap about the same
time. The rails will be laid and the track
completed for the cars, it is confidently ex-
pected, by the first Of June. The camp of
laborers which has been located at New
castle for some time, has been moved up
on the road, and the work in the vicinity
of that point has BEEN finished with the ex-
ception of laying single line of plates on
the trestle work over Newcastle Gap and
surmounting them with ties for the rails,
which will be accomplished this week.
Newcastle, at the present date, is scene
of considerable activity in the freighting
business. On Saturday last there were
present at one time in the vicinity of the
depot some eighteen or twenty teams bound
for the interior, which were awaiting their
turns fer freight. When the next station
at Clipper Gap shall have been established,
there will probably be change somewhat
to the disadvantage of the now compare
lively active little town of Newcastle

ANDREW JOHNSON. is now the head and

should all know of what material he is COM
posed. Here is an extract from a speech
which he delivered in the United States
Senate, iu 1861, when he had that arch
traitor JEFF. Davis under his immediate
eye, and when the infamous rebellion was
just ripening. Read it:
He spoke from the desk adjoining that
occupied by jeff. Davis, and almost sha-
king his finger in the face of the arch-trai-
