A RAILROAD TRAIN BACKS INTO A BOARDING
HoUsR-A DANGEROUS SIrUATIoN.-About
three o'clock yesterday afternoon, a passen-
ger train on the Susquehanna road came
into the depot, the passengers got OIL, the
train run out was switched on to side
track, and backed into the depot again. -
The engineer must either have miscalcula-
ted the distance he had to run, or the length
of his train, for he backed with consider
able force against the brick wall Of a build
ing on the east of the lot. The structure
was erected in the rear of Mrs. Wachters
Hotel, Broadway, and was used as rear
entrance to that hotel from Church street, a
store house, &c. The wall was twelve
inch one and was some twenty feet high.
The track terminated within few inches
of it. AS the train backed down, the plat
form of the rear coach struck the wall with
such force as to knock hole through it,
when, of course, the whole structure fell.
Mrs. Wachter and a domestic were at
the time engaged inside, washing some
clothes. Peter Myers, the bartender, a
daughter and son or Mrs. Wachter, and a
boy named John Wagner were in the CEN
tre of the yard at the time. The bar-ten-
der heard the crash and observed the fall
ling wall. With considerable presence of
mind, he Immediately thrust the females
back towards the door, thus saving them
from serious injury. The two boys were
covered up in the ruins, and both were bad
ly hurt, young Wachter was badly cut and
bruised about the head and body. The
other lad was also much bruised, and his
right shoulder dislocated. DR.. Stats was
summoned and attended TO the sufferers

The PRESIDENT AND PHNNsYLvANA.-The
President has met with poorer success in
Pennsylvania than in any other State. He
has not had single vote in the House
save what he got from the Democrats, and
thus far has not received the open support
of single known Republican paper, He
is of course much annoyed at the barren
prospect Tha fact is, it is very hard to
make party out of patronage alone, and
the engineers of the President in Pennsyl-
vania find it so every hour they live. The
people won't submit to being thrown into
the same company with Copperheads and
traitors and it is poor business, even
with good men, to be forced to shout for
JOHNSON in the same chorus with men who
made themselves hoarse calling him black
guard and drunkard. A. j. himself be-
gins to see that he is used simply to swap
one sort of Republicans for another-to
turn honest men out, and put untried men
into Office He finds himself pestered by
all the cormorant, spawned, broken-down
and cast-off politicians in the country and
if he can be ashamed of anything, he ought
to feel shame now Philadelphia Press

The NATIONAL FINANCEs.-The receipts
into the United States Treasury for the
nine months of the fiscal year ending April
1st, $4l0, 900, 900; and the Controller of the
Currency estimates that the receipts for
the year ending July lst will reach $50, 900
600.
The new tax law will probably diminish
receipts from several sources for the next
year; but there will be new taxes, such as
the tax on Cotton, and the Southern States
will probably yield considerable revenue;
30 that the receipts for the year commencing
July lst, 1866, will not in all probably be
less than the total for the current year.
The aggregate being thus large it seems
reasonable to hope that there will be suf-
ficient margin to permit large reduction
Of the public debt. We have now reached
the max imum of that debt and having ex.
tinguished the floating claims that have
accumulated since the war closed, the de-
mands upon the Treasury will be confined
hereafter to the interest Oh the public debt
and the ordinary expenses Of the govern
ment. After paying these there must, il
due prudence be used by Congress- in the
appropriations, be handsome balance lef
! for the reduction Of the debt

THs NRw FIVE CENT Co1N-The act
which has passed the Senate and House of
Representatives to authorize the coinage of
five cent pieces, provides that the new five
cent pieces shall be composed of copper and
nickel, not exceeding twenty-cent per cent.
of nickel. This coin is to be legal-ten-
der to the amount of one dollar, and re-
deemed when presented in sums of not less
than one hundred dollars. 1t is proposed
to make this coin exactly five grammes or
77-l6-l00 grains in weight. Three of the
coins will weigh one half of an ounce. and
will be convenient in the pocket for a
postage weight. The law also prohibits
the issue of fractional notes less than ten
cents after the passage of this act. The
color and appearance of this coin will be
similar to the three cent Coin, author.
