FIVE CHILDREN THROWS INTO A WELL by
THEIR FArnER.-A shocking occurrence
took place last month Mt FoxdRle, 10 the
Isle of Man. A miner, named Killy,
was subject to fits Of depression and
lownsss Of spirits, acting under the In.
tluenco of n groudless fear Of tho loss OF
employment, made up his mind to de-
stroy himself and family. lilo according
ly walked out Of his house into u field
where thrce Of his children were play
ing, and threw them, one by one, down
a we'll. His wife, who heard their
screams, ran out Of the house to tue
we'll, With n baby in her arms he
wrenched the baby out Of her arms anii
threw it down the we'll, and tried To
throw his wife after the child, but she
escaped. The fifth child, who had been
sent for assistance, now came up, and
he threw her down the well and plunged
in after her. The bodies wero soon re-
covered, chiefly BY tho gallsntry OF q
man who descended into tho we'll at the
risk Of his life. Two of tho children
survived /; the rest, with the father,
werc brought up dead.

On that point as well as all others, the
Republican party believe in yielding to
the viii Of tho majority ; they do not
believe in secession. That Union party
is simply the exponent of the will of tue
American people. The recent Chicago
Convention gave utlcranec to the voice
and will of the American nation in The
nomination Of Graut and ColfaS. The
Republican party is literally the Amer
lean people, and nh opposition to it IS n.
foreign element. The will of the Am
erican people must be done, and at the

The Prospect.

Our information from all parts of the
country in relation to the prospects of Grant
and Colfax, is the most cheering. We feel
sure we shall carry the three great States of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. In the
latter State all the feuds existing in the Re-
publican party have been healed, and the
party is unit for the ticket. Every neu-
trail paper in the State is for Grant and Col
fax, and the rebel Democratic press. which
supports Seymour and Blair, is contending
feebly, though desperately, against the con-
stantly increasing popularity of Grant.
From the Southern States that have been
reconstructed the news is also good. We
shall succeed without the vote of a single re-
constructed State, but we are certain of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida,
Alabama and Arkansas. This Will swell the
vote for Grant and Colfax to at least two to
one over the Rebel Democratic candidates,
and thus prevent war, restore peace on per-
manent footing, and save the country from
the clutches of the rebel leaders. ,e
The candidates on both sides are correct
embodiments of the two parties Grant and
Colfax represent the loyal element that sup
pressed the rebellion and gave peace to the
nation; Seymour and Blair represent the
spirit of the rebellion, which would again,
if it had the power, involve us in civil strife
and bathe the land in blood. Every good
man every lover of peace, concord and
good will, will vote for Grant and Colfax !;
every restless, dissatisfied, bad man will sup
port the old Rebel Democratic ticket head
ed by Seymour and Blair. o

Federal TrO0ps..The Militia.

1t is given out in the telegraphc dis
patches that President johnson has uttered
the following language: tt4 l.
1.-THE Federal troops are in better condi-
tion to preserve the peace than a militia
drawn from one party to make war upon
the other" .' f''af '-,i atr
We are glad to know that the President
has determined to preserve the peace in
the South and to uphold the nep State gou-
eramGnts, and that to this end he has
given positive and pointed instructions
to Generals Buchanan and Meade This
commits the President to the new gov
ernments, and it is not probable, even if in
clined to do so, that he will venture to
change his course in this respect. The Con-
gress governs. The President knows this
impeachment failed before by only one vote,
and the President does not want to incur a
similar risk. In spite, therefore, of all the
rebel leaders of the South may say to the
contrary, their President, Andrew johnson,
is upholding and protecting the new gov
ernments of the Southern States: and he
must continue to do so or be impeached and
removed, for the law is his master, and the
law on the subject is so plain that he dare
not evade Or disregard it. A =
1t is not true, as alleged by the Sentinel
and other rebel sheets, thatthc organization
of the militia of North Carolina is calculated
or intended to provoke resistance, or lead,in
any way to disturbances or outbreaks This
State has as much right to organize its mill
Tia as New York has. The President and
Congress together could exercise no more
power over this State tl,an they could over
New York. The President has no power to
put d0~n'' either the militia of this State.
or anything else that docs not properly.
come within the range of his duties. The
militia, as organized under the act Of the
recent Legislature, will be subordinate to
the civil power, and cannot be called out
without the consent or direction of that
power. 1t is not true, as assuined by the
PRESIDENT, that it is designed to snake aarn
oh any party. Its object is to prevent war.
1t may be used, and it will be used if ncces.

pointed Secretary. is a.i74
The Chairman introduced the Hon. John 4.
Deweese who entered into full discussion of thcN
issues of the Presidential contest, laid bare the
dark designs OF the so-called Democratic SUD-
porters of Seymour and Blair, and completely
refnted many foul slanders put forth by the Ku
Klux leaders through the press and on the stump.

In an eloquent speech, the force and point of
which even the Democrats had to acknowledge.
Judge Alden, of Illinois, next addressed the
meeting in an argumentative strain, coming down
with terrible force upon the course of the De.
mocrncy, especially those who were formerly
Wings, and are now acting with the enemies of
their former principles Of right and justice.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted, de-
claring the Republican party to be the only one
that has always stood firmly hy the Union and
advocated the equal rights of all men, endorsing
its present policy of peace and political equality,
and pledging undivided support to Grant and
Colfax; also congratulating the people of North
Carolina upon the restoration of the State to
practical relations with the Union, under libe-
raj Constitution, with the Hon. w. W. Holden
as Governor, and loyal men in the various depart
ments of the public service. 3's
delegation of eighty was appointed to attend
the Republican Ratification meeting in Raleigh
on the 10th of September. s
Our friends in Orange are wide awake, and will
give an increased vote for liberty and equality.

North Carolina Railroad.

We have received from VIM. A. Smith, Presi-
dent of the North Carolina Railroad, a compar-
ative statement of receipts and expenditures Of
that road for the months of June and July, 1867
and 1858 An examination of this statement
shows that in July, 1868. the increase in money
received for passengers and freights amounts
to "a, $50 over that received in July, 1867, and
the decrease in current expenses for the same
month is 81 ,582.07 making balance in favor
oil the road in one month of $12,271.07 more than
in the corresponding month in 1867.
That road passed into the control of Repub-
lican managers on July leth, 1868; and since
that time The rebel organ in this city and the
Ku Klux press throughout the State have been
teeming with predictions Of a decrease in its
business and a depreciation in the value of its
stocks. All This croaking was done for the pur-
pose of destroying public confidence in the pres
ent management, and if it had any influence
whatever, the tendency would be to lower the
value of the stocks Of the road. But the cars
rolled on in spite ofthem; and now these figures,
taken from the books of the Company, furnish a
complete answer to these statements. The most
noticeable point is the decrease in the expenses
Of 81, ,5e2 BY a continuation Of this economi-
cal management for few years, we may reason
ably expect that this viii be not only the larg-
est corporation but the best paying railroad
line in the South. We may expect the stock to
reach par during Governor Holden's administra-
ton, instead of being quoted, as it has been, at
fifteen or twenty cents on the dollar and it will

IT is understood that Engelhard, of the
Wilmington Journal, has set himself up as
censor of funereal etiqette. 1t so happened
that the Executive Committee of the Trus-
tees of the University passed appropriate
resolutions of coincidence on the death of
the late President Swain Whercat Engel-
hard says the Trustees murdered Governor
Swain, by removing him from the Presiden-
cy! 1t is understood that Englehard's brain,
always a little soft, has become completely
inuddlcd lately, but we did not quite expect
thislpiece of idiocy The fact is, as is gen.
orally known, that Governor Swain died in
consequence of injuries received in being
thrown from "a cartiage. All good men
mourned his death, and nobody but Engle,
hard ever would have, had the stupidity to
arraign the Trustees for an ordinary act of
pOsthumous courtesy
