RUNAWAY. "A horse attached TO a
market wagon containing man and wo-
man, took fright near incorporation limits
on the franklin pike, yesterday, and dashed
both the occupants into the middle of the
street. The man came down astride pile
Of fence posts and the woman after turning
a sumersault in the air came down all
right upon her feet. Both parties escaped
without serious injury, the man sustaining
bruised leg and the woman a spraiRed
ankle. The vehicle did not get off as well,
however, and was pretty badly smashed up.

A Party Maneuvre.

The Washington Chronicle, under tho auspices
Of FoRxEY, ID. d. avails itself of every
weapon within reach to strike at the President.
1t is now busy with the work Of playing of
General GRANT against Mr.. JOHNSON. Some
time since, General GRANT was nominated for
the Presidency by Republican meeting in
Rochester, New York. Very recently, the
Galena (IIIinois) Gazette, published at General
GRANTS home, seconded this nomination in a
carefully worded article. FORNEY seizeS upon
these two incidents TO press the claims OF the
Lieutenant General. Little does the editor Of
the Chronicle care about General GRANT or
any other public man. His only care is for
himself. He uses great men only to subserve
his own petty, selfish purposes. For years he
has alternately courted and betrayed them. He
is so we'll known that his praises and censures
are alike despsed.
1t appears from the article in the Ga:ettethat
the Lieutenant General was brought up il
the old Wing school Of politics" The same
journal asserts that his hopes and sympathies
are with the great and patriotic Union party Of
the country"
This premature presentation Of General
GRANT for the Presidency is only designed for
present political effect, and is unjust to him.
Daily Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1865-1869, 1866-03-22
The Jamaica COMMISSIONERS Proceedings

The Kingston (Jamaica) correspondent OF
the London Times has a letter of nearly nine
columns in the Times Of the Sd Of March,
tracing the progress of the enquiry of the
ROYAL Commission into the outbreak in that
island, and the conduct of the authorities in
supprcssing it. The proceedings Of the COM
mission are brought down to the 9Th of Febru-
ary, at which time one hundred and thirty wit
neSses had been examined. Despite the I'M
usual efforts made to make out case OF I'M
necessary and objectionable cruelty against
Governor EYRE and his associates, the evidence
leaves no reasonable doubt that not only wide
spread discomfort, but a mutinous spirit, ripe
for Instruction, had prevailed for some time in
the district surrounding MOrant Bay. 1t shows
illegal. drilling, the administration Of illegal
oathS, and the existence Of a rebelliOus organi-
zation. 1t also establishes former statements
as to the outbreak itself, with its excuses and
horrors. 1t is very clear that the prosecution
or persecution of Governor EYRE is to be rested
principally upon the summary execution OF
GORDON. II it can be established that GORDON
was innocent, and strenuous efforts are
being made to that end, not only by
the negro party in Jamaica, but by all the
influences that eminate from Exeter Hall,
it is hoped that Governor EYRE's whole course
will be made to appear wrong, unlawful and
arbitrary 1t is not impossible that GoRDoN'S
Innocence may be proved-that, however,
should not be considered as proving that none
we're guilty-that there was no insurrection,
and that Governor EYRE was fighting an ina
ginary rebellion.
In times Of public danger and excitement,
when numbers have TO be Summarily dealt
with, there is no time to make nice diScrimna-
tionS between the innocent and the guilty.
Under such circumstances it is scarcely posi-
BILE to avoid mistakes. 1t may be proved that
the execution Of GORDON was a miStake-a hor-
rid mistake but that cannot be taken as proof
that there was no insUrreetion, no massacre of
unoffending persons, aud no scheme for uni
verSal massacre.
We from time to time note the progress OF
this Jamaica enquiry because we regard it as
subject of interest and Importance to our
people.
