Terrible RailrOad Disaster and
Loss of Life.

One of the most fearful railroad =asters
it has been our i'll fortune to chronicle oc-
CURED on night before last on the Lake
Shore RAILROAD, from Cleveland to
Buffalo, within twenty-one miles OF
the latter place. The full particulars,
as far as known, are given in our tele-
graphic columns. Two cars were thrown
down an embank ment thirty feet, and those
that escaped the fall, with life, were subse-
quently consumed in the burning car. TIE
coupling of second car detached itself,
and it too went down the abyss.
The fear is that the loss of life is greater
than reported. Only five persons escaped.
Some forty or fifty persons were either kill
ed when the cars struck or met that most
dreadful of all deaths, burning alive.
The Lake Shore railroad has been more
free from accidents than any other in the
country, probably from the greater care Of
the employees. In the account given, the
accident cannot, we think, be attributed to
carelessness. sH a

Sensible Editor.

The editor of the Pittsburgh Gazette (Rsd-
cal), after referring to the fact that Senator
DRAKE, of Missouri, is trying to pass res
olution censuring the President, says:
Inasmuch as the House of Representatives
has declared in the most emphatic manner
that the President has not exceeded h is au-
thorily, or fallen short of his duty, but only
differed, as he had right to do, with tie
legislative bodies in opinion, we submit
that the action now proposed would conl-
plete the qualification OF the Republican
leaders.
A very sensible remark, certainly, for the
editor of the Gazette to make.

Negro Outrages in Harrisburg.


The Harrisburg Patriot and Union gives
the following statement of an attempted
outrage upon lady by negroes in that
city:
An infamous assault was made upon Miss
Harriet Thomas, a respectable young fe-
male residing in the Sixth ward, while
passing along Colder street, on Monday
evening. When near the colored school
house, she was approached by three or four
negro ruffians, who violently seized her
person, evidently with the design of per-
petrating a most diabolical outrage. The
girls screams alarmed the neigh bors and
caused the ruffians to seek safety i'm flight.
Subsequently Constable Radabaugh cap
tured four negroes named Thomas
Il. Smith, Richard Anderson, John
w. Smith and George Albert Washing ton,
on suspicion of having been concerned in
this affair. After hearing before Alder
man Cole, of the Sixth ward, the two last
named "manhoods +" were discharged, and
Thomas 81. Smith and Richard Anderson
committed to prison for trial on a charge
of assault and battery with intent to COM
init rape. That this was the design of the
negro scoundrels there can be no doubt,
from the nature of the testimony presented.
1t is the general impression, and no doubt
the correct one. that nearly all the former
outrages of this kind in our city were COM
mitted by rutfians of the same race and
color. Should Smith and Anderson be
convicted, they ought to be punished with
such severity as will restrain others from
the commission of similar deeds.

The British Parliament is turning its at
tention to the education OF the working
classes Earl Russell, in the House of
Lords, announced that, on December I'd,
he would move series of resolutions de-
claring, First, that the education of the
working classes in England and Wales
ought to be extended and improved !; that
every child has right to the blessings of
education, and it is the duty of the State
to guard and maintain that right. That
the diffusion OF knowledge ought not to be
hi1de.ed by religious differences; nor
should the early employment of the young
in labor be allowed to deprive them of edu-
cation. Second, that Parliament and Gov
ernment should aid in the education of the
middle classes by providing for the better
administration OF, charitable endowments.
That the Universities of Oxford and Cam
bridge may be made more useful to the
nation by the removal of restrictions, and
by the appointment of commission to
consider of the better distribution of their
large revenues for the purposes of instruc-
tion. in connection with the said univerSi-
ties. and that an appointment of Minister
of Education by the Crown. with a seat in
the Cabinet. would be conducive to the
public benefit.

AuucGtChmS IN Court Il OSeeTys
The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun, says that the salaries and
fees of Diplomatic officers of the United
States, will probably be increased, rather
than diminished, during the present Con-
gress, because they are lower than that
paid by other nations, and that, under the
present salaries, poor men cannot accept
first class mission, without involving
him in debt.
The same correspondent says:
| An effort will probably be made also to
abolish the regulation which requires our
representatives abroad to appear before
foreign courts in plain citizens dress, that
| Is, In black coat and pants and plain white
vest which is now the style of costume
worn by walters in cafes and restaurants
In France and England.
We trust this will not be done. Any
man who has seen the annual parade, on
New Years day. of the Diplomatic corps,
representing the European nation, in Wash
ington, would turn with loathing from the
idea ofan American bedizaning himself, like
mountebank, in order to show that the
United States is a nation to be respected.
Such toggery may do for a monarchy, but
in republican government it is simply
ridiculous. American ministers should be
gentlemen and dress as such, and if their
behavior corresponds with their dress, they
will not only be useful to their Government
but respected.
When FRANKLIN was at the French
Court, then the most brilliant in Europe,
he appeared at the Kings levee in yarn
| stockings instead of silk, and the whole
French Court stood aghast at his presump-
| ton, yet no representative of the United
| States, or of any other Government, had
| one-half the influence at the Court OF
| LOUIS the XVI, or was half as much re-
spected, as FRANKLIN, whose sterling good
sense and Republican simplicity is to this
day reverenced, more than any and all
other American ministers, in the French
| capital.

The Democratic papers are making mer-
ry over pretended verbatim reports OF
speeches of the negro members of the
Southern Constitutional Conventions
j O,rndl.
The above extract is an untruth. The
threats of an ignorant Negro elected by
the aid of Federal bayonets, and the tramp
ling under foot the laws of State, to
Convention to form a State Constitution
is not subject of merriment. The fierce
demand that the Negroes must rule the
State, or else the Negroes who are armed,
will war on the defenceless whites, is no
laughing matter, and no Democratic paper
has so viewed it. The speech of the Negro
CROMWELL, was verbatim one-reported
in the Negro language in which it wa.
spoken, by the reporter for the Ne,0 York
Herald, a paper that has done more for
Radicalism than any other sheet in the
United States.
The war of races. which this Negro pro-
poses to inaugurate, is one for which Rad
icalism, by its measures, has prepared the
Negro mind. Over one year ago, General
Cox, more of statesman than any of his
party, predicted it, and to save the country
from its horrors, proposed to colonize the
black race, far from the whites, in coun-
try they could call their own. The Journal
supported Gen. Cox tor Governor, on the
principles OF that letter, as did the Radical
party, and they were successful. Now,
that sheet has changed. and its only notice
of speech, giving notice that Negro rule
or civil war are the only alternatives that
the black race will give to the country, is
that Democratic "papers are making merry
overe aspeech breathing the boldest threats
and an undisguised hatred OF the white
race. The charge is as silly as it is men
dacious.

THEY have very belligerent Judges, it
seems, in New Mexico. One of them.
Chief-Justice Slough, lately denounced in
a very vehement style the Governor for
pardoning man whom he had convicted
of crime. He said it was of no use for him
to sit on the bench and convict and sem
tence men. '.if Bob Mitchell found nothing
else to do than pardon them.' A few days
after he MADE very brutal personal as
sault upon Mr.. Army, Secretary of the Leg
islature, because the Secretary of tie Ter
ritory had been invited by the Legislature
to administer the oath OF Office. instead OF
the Chief-Justice, as had been customary.
This Chief-Justice should be slouqhed off as
soon as possible.-N. Y. Times.
This same SLOUGH was once member
of the Ohio Legislature, and was expelled
for slapping an Abolitionist who insulted
him. Soon after he became an Abolition
ist himself, got an appointment in the army
and quit fighting until the war was over.
Since then he has resumed his pu gnacity.
