Senatorial Contest.

Subpoenas are in the hands of off
GERS for witnesses in the above case.
Esqrs Mark and Mcdowell will be in
session on the 22d to take a few
depositions in the matter of the con-
test
We learn that Mr.. Onderdonk has
closed his dispositions. He took a
few in Lawrence county, and some
in Gallia-more in Meigs and Vim
ton.
He founded his contest upon the
StatuteApassed in 1859, but which
was repealed in 1865; a Statute that
deprived persons having "visible
admixture'' of African Flood of vot
ing. Mr.. o. had hoped that the
Senate would set at naught the de-
cision of the Supreme Court, and
upon this Statute throw out a num-
ber of votes cast by this class of
persons. Since the Gallipolis Jour
nal has furnished him and his Attor-
neys law upon this matter they have
less heart for the contest, and as we
suggested last week, we think Mr.
o. and his friends shave put their
foot in it"
If the Senate holds that persons of
"distinct and visible admixture of
African blood" are not legal voters,
Mr.. o. has probably a case; but if
they hold with the Supreme Court of
Ohio, that persons havin g predomi-
nance of white blood are voters, Mr.
O.'s favorite Statute being repealed,
has no show at all - Ninton Record.

Shocking Railroad Calamity.

A terrible Railroad accident oc-
Cured early on the morning of the
2lst, on the Cincinnati, Hamilton d
Dayton Railroad, near Lockland,
about thirteen miles from Cincinnati,
which resulted in the death of four
women and one man, and the wound
ing of thirteen persons. The most
horrible part of the account of this
shocking calamity is thst which fol,
lowed the collision, and Is thus re-
lated by the Cincinnati Gazette:
In the collision the kerosene re-
fiecting head light of the engine was
broken, and the contents of the lamp
were emptied on to the floor, and
ignited by the fire from the stove
which had been overturned. The
flames spread with fearful rapidlty,
and soon the whole rear portion of
the car, or rather what was left of it.,
was in flames. Some of the passen-
gers who had been awakened short
time before the accident by the
porter, who it seems was in charge,
was either dressed or in the act of
dressing, all escaped with only inju
ries; others, and among them, four
sisters, Sallie, Rachel, Hannah and
Mary Morgan, were asleep, or at
least had not arisen These tour all
lost their lives. They all occupied
berths near the rear end of the car
and it is supposed that three OF them
were instantly killed by the concus
sion. The other, supposed to be
Rachel, had the lower portion OF her
body completely wedged in among
the broken seats, &C., and found it
impossible to extricate herself. She
was in close proximity to window,
however, and managed to break the
glass with her hand. Through the
opening thus made she forced her
shoulders and arms, and called upon
those in the vicinity for help
Several Of the panic stricken passen-
gers rushed to her assistance, but it
was found impossible to extricate

R We begin to understand the

re- We begin to understand the
wherefore of the attack of the Dis
patch upon Mr.. GIBSON. 1t is an
attempt to intimidate him, so that he
would abandon the prosecution Of
his right of contest. They don't
like his activity and industry in look
ing up facts to sustain his case
Their mode and manner of securing
votes--both illegal and legal--with
many other acts of theirs during the
campaign--wilI not bear scrutiny,
and they are not disposed, if it can
be helped, to have them exposed to
the public gaze. But they are mis-
taken in their man. Mr. GIBSON has
faced rebels and rebel bullets, and
cannot now be intimidated by their
aiders and abettors. These attacks
only make him the more jealous and
indefatigable in the assertion of his
rights, and will but eventuate in a
more full and thorough exposure OF
the corruption and dishonesty of the
party leaders.

Congress.

This body convened on the 2lst-
A quorum was present in both
Houses. 1t seems to be understood
that but little business will be done
until the regular session, which be-
gins next Monday.
In the Senate, after some unim-
portant business, an adjournment
was made until Monday. In the
House the democrats demanded that
The same course should be taken
| with the Tennessee members elect
as had been pursued in the case of
the Kentucky delegation last sum-
mer, and moved that their creden-
tials be sent to committee that
their loyalty might be inquired into.
After lengthy discussion, the mat
ter was defeated, and the members
sworn in. The House then adjourn
ed until Monday.
The first business on Monday, it is
understood, will be the report OF the
impeachment committee, and 1t is
now asserted that majority of the
committee favor the impeachment of
the President. The report of the
committee, and the action of Con
gress thereon, will be looked for with
intense interest by the country. =
Even though the committee should
report in favor of impeachment, still
it is doubtful whether the House will
sustain the report or not. Some
claim that it will, while others, equal
Ely well informed, are sanguine that
it will be voted down. A short time
will determine the matter. -"
The question of impeachment is q
very grave one, and needs to be ap.
preached with all the calmness and
moderation possible. and altogether
free from partisan Influences
President Johnson has been guilty ei
many and various damning acts
acts which will forever associate his
name with dishonesty and infamy-
but whether they are such as will
sustsin impeachment Is another and
different matter. OF course this will
depend upon the character of the
evidence to be submitted by the com
, mittee. If there is decided proof o
. guih--guilt within the plain meaning
of tie clause of the Constitution
, which provides for impeachment
and such decided proof as to make
/ plain the duty of Congress in th'
matter--then the movement will b.
: sustained by the country. But i
J there is any insufficiency, or ever
doubt, about the evidence, the mattel
had better not be undertaken.
