RAILROAD DISTURBANCE yesterday eyer
ing quite a number of the Baltimore Radicals
assembled atthe President street depot to await
tbe arrival of the through train from Washing
ton, which they intended to take fer Phliadc!-
mia. AS soon as the cars arrived 1t was WIS
nered that one Of them was filled with Demo;
Gratis. who were also going to Philadelphia, and
thev determined to run them out. Accordingly
az soon as the car containing the alleged Dem
ocrats was attached to the train, q sally was
made to take it by storm, as it was supposed
the train would move off before the police coulG
interfere. they entered the car at each END
and began an indiscriminate assault. and 10 an
instant the greatest confusion prevailed. Many
Jumped from the windows and others crouched
between the seats to escape the notice OF the
assailants Several were pretty roughly nan
died. and one, who represented himself to 6ea
clerk in the Tax Office in Washington, Was
dragged from the car and struck on the head
with q billy The police were promptly on
hand, when the assa!ants dispersed, and Ii was
then discovered that all the occupants were
Radicals, on their way to Philadelph to help
their friends in the election. The tax clerk
was conducted to the Eastern police station,
where he washed the blood trorl his bead, face
and garments, and asked II he could nave pro-
lection to 90 to the late train. Most OF the as
sailants got on the train and went out, but
very considerable number of the through pas
sengers, who went through the windows Of the
car, remained, with the hope Of getting to
Philadelphia on the late train. A sufficient
police force was stationed at the depot and
along the track, as far as the city limits, to
prevent any turt her breach ofthe peace. --Ba('

The Baltimore Gazette speaking of the cleo

Pennsylvania says 1.-THE returns from any
two of them should show unexpectedly large
gains for either party, it is not difficult to fore
see that the consequence would be to rally to
the victors considerable portion Of the float
ing vote which is always seeking an alliance
with what appears to be the stronger side. If,
on the other hand, the contest should turn out
to have been close one, it will iniuse fresh
vigor into the Presidential canvass. -

In the late political speech of Henry Ward

In the late political speech of Henry Ward
Beecher, at Brooklyn, he expressed his disbe-
lief in the charge of drunkenness against
Gen. Grant and Gen. Blair, but he added che
would rather. have for President Gen. Grant
drunkard than Horatio Seymour sober"
which was followed by tremendous and long
continued cheering In the conclusion of his
address he said that the voice of this nation, as
heard in tho elections of next month, will speak
scarcely less sublime tual The thunders Of the
voice that sounded from Sinai" These are
specimens of what delights the followers
and admirers of this political preacher.

partmcnt, gave the President power to re-
move the head, and this power was in no
way effected till the passage OF the Tenure.

ply to the Stanton case, Tor he was not Ia
