with most disastrous result. Five per-

the instant OF the first shock, and TWEEN
ty-tive or thirty more We're more or less
seriously injured. The Hamilton left

AROUND in the llamiton's course. The
Hamilton. laboring against flood tide,
IN her ,tlor.s to clear the propeller, and
also TO enter her own slip, tailed OF both,
and went with terrible force against the
side OF the ferry beat Union, which was
living in an adjoining slip.
Many OF the passengers OH the IIamil-
ton had crowded 10 the forward part OF
the boat, causing her decks to sink sew
cral inches below the guards of the

several persons, unable TO retreat, were
caught between the guards OF the two
beats Is they overlapped, and terribly
crushed. The killed were Il printer
boy, two laborers, II Mrs. Heart, OF
brooklyn, and Il girl named Margaret
Mullins. Another man is thought to be
morlally wounded. The injured were
dispatched in carriages as soon as posi-
Die to the city hospitals.

The Frauds in NprC York.

There can be no doubt that every pos
siblc fraud was made use of in the inter-
est OF Hoffman at the New York city
election. Besides the frauds in naturali-
cation, the colonization and double yot-
Ing which always take place, the demo-
Gratis this year resorted to a great scheme
of false counting or ballot-box stutfing,
in order 10 make a sure thing on IIotf-
man. They issued secret circular, to
which they forged the name OF S = Ill
den probably with his consent), request
inc democrats i'll each locality 10 tele-
graph the state of the vote there. and
when they got in this way reasonably
good estimate of how many votes were
needed to elect Hoffman, they went to
work and manufactured them. For this
purpose they held back the declaration
of the vote by the canvasSers, in some
districts until near midnight, and then
declared larger vote than could have
been legally thrown. The Sun has reck-
oncd up, III twenty-five election districts,
Il total of 1886 ballots for president and
i1'i III So'clHOi lnoIe tlil were reg
istered in those districts, thus showing
conclusively the nature of the fraud
there. The republicans will contest the
election Of Hoffman before the court of
appeals, and say. they will count Girls
void i'll as governor and elect the Grant
electors. Grant undoubtedly, and Girls
void probably, had majority of the le-
gal votes, but it will be hard to prove it.

manner of taking the floor was hardly de-

One Howl SILENCED- Pome-
roy, Wade Hampton u Co. declared that
if Gen. Grant was not elected by a ma
jority sof the electoral votes Of all the
States, or if that majority depended on
the vote of any State now under military
rule, they would make trouble They
and their like were continually casting
it up against Mr.. Lincoln, that he was
"a minority President, his handsome
majorities in the Electoral College not
representing an absolute majority of the
popular vote either in 1860 or 1864.
though in 1864 he had the great
majority of all who had any right
to vote. But Gen. Grant carries
over two-thirds of all the States of
the Union. He will have two-thirds
of the electoral votes of all the States.
lie has splendid majority Of the popular
vote of the Union. And all this would
be true if Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
had voted with the rest.-Br. Free Press

Tie BoLDESr Man IN New IoRK.-
There Is trightful sort of a man in New
York. Last week he locked up all his
own money, borrowed all he could from
banks and money lenders, and i'll this
way withdrew a vast sum from circula
ton. lie was aided bv a few wealthy
friends. by this artificial scarcity of
money they brought about Il panic in
Wall street. Stocks fell with alarming
rapidity. Big operators failed. Men
whose notes were coming due had 10
submit TO large losses by forced sales of
shares or merchandise. There was the
greatest decline in values ever known i'll
that city in 80 brief time. This fright
lul man and his friends calmly waited
until the utmost possible mischief had
been done, and the lowest point had
been reached, when they stepped into the
street with biz piles OF greenbacks,
bought up the best things they could put
their hands on, and will gain enormous
profits.
Who Is this frighttul man? ANY
body would suppose he must be an Astor
or Vanderbilt. with fortune which
has been accommodating through two gen
eratons, and an experience of many
years in a great commercial centre. But
no Eight years ago he was selling
WOODEN goods 10y sample in the stores
along Main street in Concord, and in
other places. His name is James Fisk
.Ir. He made his way to New York,
and obtained the notice OF cap talists by
ms holiness and foresight in financial

CONTESTED ELECTIoNs.-There will
be more than twenty contested election
cases i'll the next House of Representa-
tlveS, and including those from the South
possibly double that number. Some of
them will prove difficult and laborious
cases. Mr.. Julian of Indiana, will have
some trouble to defend his seat against a
democrat. In the case of John Covo,,c
of Pennsylvania, Gov. Geary declines TO
give certificate to the democrat, who
claims majority OF Al, and this will
compel the House to decide who has a
prima iacie title to the seat.

CANADA JUsrICE.-In the court of
Queens Bench, on the 18th ult., John
Perkins, Robert Perkins, and Andrew
Moulton were sentenced to be hung on
the 10Th of January next, for an out
rage upon young lady in Barnston,
named Fletcher, in August last. Of the
sentence, the Stanstead journal says
1T may be observed that in cases of this
kind, the court has no discretion. The
punishment Of this otfense is death, by the
statute law. 1t is altogether probable
that the executive clemency will be APP
peaIed to and the young men be allowed
to expiate their gross oflense by long
term of Imprisonment"
