A Girl Falls Over n PreeIE,iee zoo Feet.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch. May 49,
A fearful accident occurred Sunday even

precipice in rear of Everson, Preston &
Co.'s iron mills, in the eighth ward, result.
ing in the almost instant death Of Maggie
| MeGinnis, a girl between fourteen and If
teen years of age, who resided with her
parents on Boyd's Hill, The girl, in com
pany with two or three others, it appears
was sitting at the top of the precipice,
which, at that point, is fully 200 feet in
height, and almost perpendicular. There
is, however, bench or offset about half
way up the cliff, abovewhich the hanging
| rocks project several feet. Upon this bench
few scraggy bushes grow, and beneath it
is a mass of rock, nearly one hundred feet
in height, letting out almost over the rail-
road track. While talking 10 her compan-
ions she had an attack of epilepsy, and be-
ing near the edge Of the preeipice, fell
over. A few feet from the top was sharp
rock projecting beyond those surrounding
1t, upon which her clothing caught and
held her suspended between heaven and
earth for almost a minute, just beyond the
reach of her associates, whose screams were
heard on the opposite side of the river.
At length the brittle rock gave way, and
she was precipiiased to the bench or offset
below, fully a hundred feet, and passing
through the brush or bushes, upon two Of
which, portions Of her hair and clothing
still remain, she descended over the next
precipiee, and lay lifeleas corpse on the
railroad track beneath. '.a'.I ss.1
The scene was one Of almost indescrib-
able horror to those who witnessed it, and
especially to the companions of the I'M
fortunate girl with whom but moment
before her death she had been in pleasant
conversation. The very short time her
body was suspended over the precipice, al
most within their reach, seemed TO them
an age, and they are unable to give any
correct idea of the time it was thus sus-
pended, but persons beneath whose atten-
ton was attracted to the frightful spectacle
by their screams, say that it remained in
that situation but moment.
The body was removed TO 4 shed attached
to the mill, but owing 10 the crowd Of Gu
rioGs visitors who thrOnged the place, it
became necessary to remove it to a dwell
ling house near by, where it remained I'M
til the Coroner arrived. A jury was inn
panneled and two or three witnesses ex-
amined, when the inquest adjourned TO
meet at the Mayors office at ten o'clock
this morning -" ... b t-

THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH.
A Reform PrOpOsed-COnnectiO of
the United States POstOGG1ce Depart
ment with the telegraph.
From the Now York Herald, May 20.

From the New York Herald, May %.
Mr.. Washburne has taken the first stem
in an important movement in this country
by introducing bill in Congress TO con-
struct telegraph line from Washington to
New York for public use and under the
direction Of the Postohice Department.
We urge Mr.. Washburne not TO let his bill.
be smothered or unnecessarily DELAYED for
there has been no measure brought before
Congress which is likely to be of so much
value to the country az this. BY the pro-
visions of the bill, which we published
yesterday, il will be seen that telegraphing
between Washington and New York and
the intermediate stations will be under the
management of the Postofice Department.
II is proposed TO greatly reduce the cost of
telegraphing-that is to say, at cost only
of one cent a word, provided, however.
that no message shall be less than ten cents,
and that there shall be charged two cents
for delivery and a three cent stamp put on
each message. This is to be for all distances.
The Postmaster General may reduce these
rates if another telegraph line should charge
less. News kilograms for publication may
be transmitted at fifty per cent reduction
of thes rates. Accompanying the bill is an
able and elaborate report showing that al
though the world is indebted to the genius
of an American citizen, Professor Morse,
for the practical development of the cleo
tric telegraph as a means Of communica-
ton, and although the first line on his plan
and under bis direction was built with
money furnished by Congress- the tele- I
graph system has made less progress to-
ward perfection and has been practically Of
less value to the masses of the people
in our country than in any civilized cOun-
try on the globe The report shows this by
reference to what has been done in other
and then calls attention to what
is about to be done in Great Britain
through the bills lately introduced in
Parliament to place the whole telegraph
sytem Of the kingdom under the govern
menL The line proposed by MFR. Wash
burns bill is only an experiment, but
there can be no doubt Of its success if Con-
gFess has the good sense to pass the bill.

REORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD
OF FINANCE.


We are informed that at a meeting at
Knoxville on the 2lst inst, TO which
place the Board Of Finance adjourned at
its session in this city on the 18th inst,
the Board was reOrganized by the cleo
ton Of Hon. Samuel Watson President
Of the Bank Of Tennessee, as President,
and WIN. Bosom as Secretary.
As we stated yesterday, the Secretary
Of State and Comptroller Of the Treasury
are members Of the Board by virtue Of
their officers, and consequently their
designations Of membership is only
formal mode Of manifesting their mons
concurrence in the financial plan adopted
by the remaining members.
In paragraph abiding to the publi-
cations which have emanated from the
members Of the Board regarding the f.
nancial condition, we declined to enter
on discussion Of the merits Of the sub.
iect 1t is one Of intricacy, and re-
qnires thorough and dispassionate inEesti-
CATION, and should, if possible, be kept
wholly apart from mere party matters or
personal controversies. There is great
interest involved in the preservation and
successful management Of our railroad
system, with which the State credit is
now intimately connected, besides that
general interest which concerns every
taxpayer; and in the present exigency,
measures shOnld be concerted judiciOusly
and on sound business principles.
We hazard nothing in saying that the
selection of Judge Watson for the res
sponsible position of head of the Board
having this important duty in charge, is
a wise and proper one. He has large
Information and experience, is widely
known as a successful man of business,
and bears reputation for integrity
which will give confidence in the sound
ness and practicability Of the system
which he may devise. 1t is due to him
and the Board that the people, regardless
| of party, should extend willing ear to
their suggestions, and not condemn them
and cripple their efforts without sufi-
cient reason.

A SHINING LIGHT IN TIRE MORAL.
IDEAS PATTY.

One Of the Kansas Senators, became fa~
nous by his heroic independence of eau
Justification, while the other seems likely
to become infamous by his base subservi-
ency to it. The testimony OfHon. Edmund
Cooper places Mr. Pomeroy, in very
unenviable attitude. His reputation of
the note given in evidence before the i'm
parchment inquisition by Mr. Cooper,
does not relieve him. Mr. Gaylord, the
Senator's brother-in-law, approached
him soliciting bride in behalf Of POM
eroy's vote, and offers the letter as cons
firmatory evidence. Mr. Cooper is not
q man TO be mistaken in q matter in
which his oath is involved, and Pomeroy
will have to adduce something more
than his simple denial to escape the
brand this businiss puts upon his brow
He either sought to be bribed, or sought
to inveigle Mr. Cooper into offering one
as the basis Of further accusation against
the President, and the one is equally as
dishonoring as the other If the fact
should be fully substantiated, he deserves
to be instantly expelled from the Senate,

King William Of Prussia, who made the
customary speech, in which he said he
hoped the results of The session would
strengthen the sentiment of mutual trust
between the people of the various States Of
the Confederation, and destroy the preju-
dices, which have existed in some portions
of.the country, and prove that the Ger
mans, though apart in some interests, were

items.
Col. Edmund Cooper, Assistant Secretary
OF the Treasury, was examined to-day by
the House managers. Col. Cooper was
asked whether he had been approached on
the subject Of using money for ac-
quittal Of the President? He answered
he had that a person protesting to act on
authority of Hon. S. G. Pomeroy, Senator
from Kansas, proposed that for $4,000,
cash in hand, he, (Pomeroy) would control
four Radical votes 10 the Senate and his
own, 50 as to insure the acquittal of the
President. The witness professed to doubt
bis authority, aud then the person brought
letter from Senator Pomeroy, dated SEN
ate Chamber, day blank, substantially as
follows:
Sis-I viii, in good faith, carry out
any arrangement made with my brother-in-
law, Willis Gaylord, to which am party.
as. G. PoMERoY, U. S. Senator"
GeB. Butler objected to the witness testi-
flying as to fbe substance of the letter, say
ing that he (Butler) would produce it then.
Willis Gaylord was then introduced by
the person who first called on witness, and
read the letter to witness and Gaylord.
Thereupon Mr.. Gaylord renewed the
proposition contained in the letter, namely
$4,000 TO secure the five votes, and the
patronage of the administration to be
thrown in for Pomeroy in the State Of
Kansas.
The witness believed that this PROPOSE
ton from the Senator was intended TO en-
trap him, and acting under that belief de-
termined that he would lead them on until
he could expose them. The witness as
signed as reasons for this belief that the
Senator was strong partisan that he felt
bitterly toward the President, and that il
money was his object, the party to which
he belonged was much better able to pay
than the administration.
In addition TO which, the person in
enumeraling the names of Senators which
Mr.. Pomeroy proposed to control, included
the name Of Morton, Of Indiana, and wit
ness did not believe such an assertion to be
possible. The name of Senator Nye was
also included.
The interviews with witness were sought
by the party protesting to act for Senator
Pomeroy. BE brought letters showing his
authority. The terms were not accepted,
and were not intended TO be.
The further testimony Of Col. Cooper was
to the effect that he was not advised of any
money having been used to influence the
votes Of Senators.
In addition, considerable amount OF
detail Of occurrences during the past two
weeks was given by Colonel Cooper, but
not material to the subject matter Of inquiry
was brought out
