Democratic Congressional Con-
rClifiOu.

The Conierees from the several
counties composing the Nineteenth
| Congressional District, met in the
Court House, at Ridgway, on Thurs
day, September 10, 1866. On motion,
Ex-Gov. Bigler, of Clearfcld, was
chosen President, and Mr.. Neal, OF
Warren, and Mr.. Camphausen, of Erie,
Secretaries.
On motion, the several counties
composing tho District, to wit: Cam
eron, Clearfeld, Elk, Erie, Forest,
Jefferson, Mexican and Warren, were
called over; when full delegations
from each county answered to their
names.
AT this stage of the proceedings, a
Committee from the Conservative
Johnson on-Ropublican Convention, then
sitting at the Hyde House, consisting
Of Messrs. Wilson and Craig, of Erie,
and Frank, of Clearfeld, was announ.
ced to be present, and desired to make
a communication On motion, Gen.
Wilson, Chairman of said Committee,
was allowed to be heard. Gen. Wilson
then rose, and stated that Conven.
tion of delegates, representing the
Conservative Republican party of all
the counties--except two or three OF
the smaller ones-had met at the HYDE
House; that after organizing and a
free interchange of opinion, the Con
vention proceeded to nominate candi-
dates, when William L. Scott, ESQ, OF
Erie, and James b. Graham, Esq, OF
Clearfeld, were placed in nomination
that, before proceeding to ballot, Mr.
Graham, being present, rose, and
thanking his friends for the homer
INTENDED, respectfully declined, and
requested the withdrawal ofhis name
whereupon Mr.. Scott was nominated
by acclamation. After briefly review
ing the condition of parties in the
District, Gen. Wilson closed by com
mending Mr.. Scott to the favorable
consideration of the Democratic Con.
vention.
Gen. Wilson having closed, it was
moved that the Convention proceed
to nominate candidate for Congress.
which was adopted without opposition.
Mr.. Galbraith, of Erie, then nomi.
mated the Hon. William l.. Scott, OF
Erie.
Mr. Moore, of Clearfeld, then moved
that the nominations now close, which
was likewise adopted.
There being FIVE delegates present
from Erie county, a motion was made
by Mr.. Grunder, of Jefferson, and
adopted, allowing but three votes to
each county.
The vote was now taken, when Mr..
Scott was nominated by acclamatiol.
Mr.. Galbraith then read series of
resolutions endorsing the character OF
Mr. Scott, and earnestly recommend
ing him to the conservative voters of
the District; eulogizing Hester ely
mer, the Democratic candidate for
Governor cordially endorsing the
policy of President Johnson i'm his eff.
forts to restore the Union and to avert
further civil strife; and dcnouncing
the conduct of the Radicals as revolu-
tionary and destructive.
a resolution was also adopted, on
motion of Mr.. English, of Jefferson,
that the Congressional Conference for
this district hereafter meet at Ridg-
way on the third Tuesday of August.
On motion, the Convention adjourn

COngrcss--W'm. l.. Scott.

By the proceedings OF the Congress
sional Conventions of the Democratic
and Johnson Republican parties held
at Ridgway last week, the reader will
see that the gentleman, whose name
stands at the head of this article, was
unanimously chosen as the candidate
in opposition to Glcni w. scofeld,
the Radical candidate.
Mr.. ScoTT is at present the Mayor
of the city Of Erie, to which position
he was chosen last spring as the ctti-
zens' candidate, without distinction of
party, defeating his competitor, who
was the regular nominee of the Re
publican party, by over four hundred
mWority-and this, too, in city
where the usual Republican majority
ranges from two to four hundred.
Mr.. ScoTr is one of the best speci-
mems of self-made men our country
can boast OF. The late Gen. Read,
of Erie, when a member of Congress,
found him acting as Page in the
House of Reprcsentatives-the son of
a respectable widow lady. AT the
expiration of his term the General
took the boy home with him to Erie.
This took place some eighteen years
ago. He is now, and has been for the
last ten years, one Of the most upright
and successful business men Of the
Lake regiol-enjoying the respect
and confidence Of all parties to an
unexampled degree, as is evidenced
by his election to the Mayorality.
He has been but little known as a
politician, though always identified
with the Democratic party, and ardent
and uncompromising in his attach
ment to the Union, having, at an ear
ly stage of the war, fitted out an On
tire battery at his own expense, which
served to the surrender of Johnson's
army in North Carolina.
When opposed by such a man as
Sco6eld--who is among the most vio-
lent of the Radicals, having voted
fairly and squarely for unqualified
negro sufrdge-wherc is the man in
the 10th district who loves his coun-
try, who will hesitate TO vote for SCoTT
for we here declare, and defy con-
tradiction, that those ,oho uote for SEQ
field Uote as distinctly IN faUor Of negro
suffrage as j they had the Dords printed
on their ballots.
We learn from tho Conforeos from
this county, that the most perfect
harmony existed in both Conventions.
Each man seemed to realize the fact,
that the most imminent danger was
threatened to our public peace, which
danger could only be avertcd by the
defeat of such Radicals as Scofeld.
The only names canvassed were Scott
and Rice Of Erie, and Graham of
Clearfeld. Which ,oould be most dc-
ceptdble to the Conservative poters Of the
District P-was the question. Mr..
Graham was decidedly averse to being
made the candidate. Yet had his
prospec. Of success been better, or
even as good, as Mr.. Scott's, it is be.
lieved that a decided majority of both
Conventions would have insistedupon
his acceptance. So far as our own
county is concerned, we regret that
he was not chosen; for had he been,
he would have received as proud a
vote as was ever given to any man
but taking the whole District, we
doubt not the very best thing that
could be, was done.

JonNsTowN, Sept. ii The acci
dent to-day was of the most lamenta
bic character. The platform extended
over the canal, and was seventv-fivC
feet long and from fifteen to eighteer
feet wide Several hundred persons
were standing on it at the time the
train arrived with the Presidential
party 1t broke in the centre, and as
a consequence its occupants were pre-
cipitated to the ground, a distance OF
about twenty feet. The timbers and
human beings were mixed up promis-
cuously, all falling in a confused mass
The giving way of the structure
was witnessed from the cars, but il
could not at the time be ascertained
anything like an approximation to
the extent of the disaster. Colonel
OBierne, Deputy Marshal Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, remained, at the
request of the President, to render
such assistance as might be necessary.
This he did; Mr. Murphy, of Wash
iugton, rendered valuable assistance.
The Colonel superinlended the
carrying from the wreck the victims
and placing them in wagons to be con
veyed to their homes. Some had both
arms and legs broken; others injured
to less extent, with confused heads
and severe bruises. Seven or eight
persons were killed, while this evening
six or more were in a dying cond-
ton. About ninety persons were Sc
verely and a large number slightly
injured.
Col. O O'Bierne saw the bodies of two
girls, aged apparently fourteen years:
also those Of two women and three
men. Friends of the unfortunate par.
ties hurried TO the scene, frantic with
grief Mothers. with children in their
arms, were seeking their kindred. In
TACT the entire population were gath
cred round the distressing scene, anx-
iously looking or inquiring for friends
or relations. Physicians were sent
for, and twelve arrived from Pitts.
