as PERSONS INSTANTLY KlLLnp!

40 PERSONS INSTANTLY KILLED!
| We had not got through with the Ia
mentable and sickening details of the
Mortified slaughter in this State. when
one still more appalling and terrible in its
consequences occurred on the Lake Shore
railroad near Angola, in Western New
York, on Wednesday afternoon Of last
week. 1t seems that something about one
of the car wheels broke, by which two
passengercars were thrown down high en-
bankment, each going off on opposite sides
of the track. One car fell so feet end
over end, and Of at least fifty persons-and
perhaps sixty-only three escaped the
most horrid of deaths The car took fire
from the stoves inside, and those who were
not killed instantly we're thus burnt to
death An old gentleman and his wife es-
capped out Of the ruins, but they cannot
tell how, and Mr.. Mayer also escaped
by crawling out but he, too, says he does
not know how. The other car did not fall
SO far, being about twenty feet, and but one
person is reported to have been instantly
killed, but some forty or nearly all in it
were more or less injured, and in the car
first mentioned the passengers were all
thrown into heap in one end Of the car,
together with all the inside debris and hot
broken stoves which Immediately set the
car on fire, and in a moment the whole
was wrapped in flames. 1t is impossible
to imagine the horror of this situation.
The few not injured 10 the other car, had
enough to occupy their attention, so for a
moment or two the other wreck received
no aid. The forward part of the train
consisting of one or two passenger cars
and the engine, went some distance before
it could return and render assistance, and
thus the fire got under uncomfortable head
way. The details of the scene at the
burning car, of the cries that went up
from the torn and bruised and burning
mass of still living human beings, and Of
the ghastly spectacle that followed when
the last cry was hushed and the COM
mingled pile of timber and human remains
lay burning and roasting, are inconceivably
horrible. Such remains as have been
identified as distinct persons were preserv-
ed separately, and identified by watches,
rings, and marks on their clothes, and
even by the teeth in one instance. In
this first pile twenty-three skulls were
found, but it is certain that more persisted
in the same place. Eighteen of the killed
have been recognized, twenty-three bodies
are burnt past recognition it is feared
Among those burnt was one bridal party
Of course the people in that vicinity hav'
done all they could for the sufferers, il

CALIFoRNIA.-There has been long
struggle in California among the democ-
racy over the u. S. Senatorship which
came into their hands by the result of the
State election there last September, and
has finally resulted in the election of Eu'
gene Casserly who is said to represent the
better wing of the party. He is spoken
of as free soil democrat of lS4S, and
though he no doubt acts with the presen,
democratic party organization, he is though,
to be more reasonable man than the lead
ers Of his party, and it is also gratifying
to know that in order to succeed, the de-
mocracy are obliged to put up in some
cases ut least, a class of men better than
their own party record.

Thad Stevens; in Debate.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Saturday Evening Gazette, who
saw and heard Thad Stevens in his speech
on supplementary Reconstruction, Wednes-
day, writes of it thus -
His face seems to grow thinner and
more long each day--it was as white when
he rose to speak as this page on which I
am writing. He wears a dark wig, and
the contrast between that and his bloodless
face strikes one with a sharp sug gestion of
the coffin and the bier. Looking down at
him from the galleries and noticing first
his hair, one forgets that he is "a years
old, and therefore is curiously puzzled at
the, stiffness of joint he shows in rising
and in gesticulating. In the distance he
looks like man of middle age-his action
IS as angular and constrained as that of a
manikin. More angular and more out Of
countenance than ever, yesterday. He
spoke for about ten minutes, at first with
noticeable difficulty. The whole House,
excepting perhaps dozen democratic
members, gathered into the aisles and
areas within twenty-five feet of him. Of
the first half of his remarks not word
could be heard in the galleries. Then,
like candle dying in its sockets, he famed
up with an energy that carried his words
to the listener in the remotest corner of
the chamber. 1t was wonderful exhibi-
ton of will and determine ton. 1t could
not last-the physical forces of the old
body have gone away, and three or four
minutes completely exhausted it and
dropped Mr.. Stevens back in his chair,
paler and more emaciated, seemingly,
than ever before, though tina: was hardly
possible. Every speech is in one sense
the last of this curious man. Old cores
pondents and long frequenters of the gal
leries say to themselves when he sits down
indeed have been saying so for three years,
Probably he'll never be able to speak
again." So, lovers of liberty and humans
ty lay up for precious remembrance the
key-words of each littI,, speech if, per-
chance, il prove, in fact, the last. And
this is what the word of yesterday to re-
member was: al have liste, ned with great
pleasure to the golden moutl,ed gentleman
from New York, Mr.. Brooks, in his at
tempt TO prove the Bible lie. That book
says God created of one blood all the ma
tons of the earth. The gentleman, how
ever, contends that there were several
different varities and that all nations were
not created of one blood. The question at
issue between the gentleman from New
York and the Author of that sacred vol
ume l shall not attempt to decide-it is too
high for me- Was there ever ANYTHING
better than this retort? Was the old soph-
ism about different races ever more really
answered? Could a man go down to the
grave with nobler word for equality and
humanity?

A CONGRESSMAN KILLEp.-Corneliu
S. Hamilton of Marysville, O., republican
member of Congress from the Eighth
Ohio district, was brutally murdered by
bis son in fit Of insanity, on Sunday
morning, by being struck on the head with
an ak. Frenzied by the sight Of the blood
the son returned to the house and sue
ceeded in inhicting severe wour DIS upon
younger brother before hal4-ld be res
cued. The murderer is hopeless, raving
manaic. Mr.. Hamilton had just returned
from Washington, for the Christmas holi-
days, and was held in high estimate by
his colleagues in Congress.
p. s. Since the above was received
the following particulars have come to
hand: 1t appears the son who committed
the dreadful act had been deranged for
some weeks. The father had left Wash
ington to see him and had made arrange
ments to send him to the Lunatic Asylum.
While feeding the stock on Sunday morn
ing on his farm near Marysvillp, the boy
stepped up behind him and with piece
of heavy board struck him on the back of
the head killing him instantly. He then
covered up the body with pile Of fodder,
and started TO kill his mother. Selling
an AK he made towards her, when a
younger brother, seeing the ak in the ma
MACS hand shouted to his mother to run
or Thomas would kill her. She did SO
and escaped. The maniac then started for
the brother who gave the alarm, and
struck him a dangerous blow on the Shout
der. A neighbor alarmed at the outcry
ran to the rescue of the boy, seized the
ak. and succeeded with the assistance Of
others who had by that time came up, in
preventing further mischief. The insane
son is in prison seemingly unconcerned.
