appalling Rail Road Accident.
NEAR PORT JERvIs, ". Y.
Twenty People Killed & Fifty
wounded,
[FrOm Special Dispatch to Cleveland Leader {

From Special Dispatch to Cleveland Leader o.
yesterday.
New YORK, April l5.-The train ON the
Erie Railroad, which left Buffalo at twenty
minutes past 9 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
with an engine, teuder, three sleeping, two
first class, two baggage, and one postal car
met with fearful accideet when thirteen
miles beyond Port Jervis. About three o.
clock in the morning four of the passenger
cars flew the track, and ran down precipice
from IS to 100 feet high. The sides of the
precip;ce are formed of jagged rocks. In the
descent the cars were broken to pieces. AT
the bottom is culyert, through which flows
stream Of water emptying into the Dela-
ware.
The impression prevails that the disaster
was carsed by broken nil. which threw
the rear car from tie track, This displaced
the three cars Immediately in front, and NE
connections breaking, the whole we're pre-
cipitated down the embankment Copduc-
tor Judd and Division Superintendent Dou-
glas were both slightly injured. The cars,
in going over the eDbankment, turned sew
eral times before the bottom was reached,
and were nearly demolished. Some twenty
passengers were killed outright, and about
fifty others wounded.
Attention was Immediately given toward
extricating the sufferers and the engine,
baggage car, smoking car, and one other
passenger car went to Port Jervis, and trans
ferring the passengers, &C., 10 another train.
Immediately returned for the transportation
of the wounded.
The passengers of the cars left standing on
the track Immediately began to rescue the
wounded and remove the bodies of the killed
Many of the latter could not be recognised
Seven persons were burned to death and six
others were killed by coming in contact
with the baggage, DC.
Among those wounded were two young
ladies' named Maggie and Emma Hoyt, both
of whom received serious injuries in the
breast Their father and mother were in.
stantly killed; they lived at Chenango
Daniel p. Snow, of Iowa, was also injured
and his wife and one of his children killed
His other three children escaped with only
slight injuries.
The rear car took fire from the stove g
short time after the living persons were re-
moved from it, and the dead bodies were
burned up. Three dead bodies were taken
cut before the fire reached them. The cat
astropbe, of course, took place in the dark
ness of the night, and the confusion and
terror was appalling, the horror being greatly
increased by the sgonizing shrieks and
groans of the wounded and dying.
PoRT JERvIs, April 15.-The scenes at the
disaster on the Erie Road BATTLE description.
The imr ense hight of the embankment and
the character of the ground, render the ca
lamity terribly fatal. The wounds are hor-
rible, and the mutiliations, broken limbs
and gashes form fearful sight. Several
will die of their wounds, aud the loss of life
will not, in the end, be Jess than forty OIL
| fifty.

A man by the name of Jamcs Wbelan has

A Democratic LEGISLATURE.

The present Legislature Of Ohio will
be remembered when all its predeces-
sors are forgotten. 1t will live as blot
upon history and disgrace to the civ
vilization Of its time. 1t has already
nearly eliminated in the profoundest
depths oflegislative degradation. Not
satisfied with taking a retrograde step
in the Progress of Humanity-ignoring
the acts of those who have preceded it
successive years at the State Capital,
trampling under foot the Constitution
of the State, and utterly disregarding
the uniform decisions of the Supreme
Court, it now proposes the crowning
infamy, disfrauchising some six OF
seven hundred men who have been dis
abled while fighting the battles of the
Union, and who are to-day the Nations
Pensioners at the National Soldiers
Home, near Dayton.
We propose no comment on this
semi-barbarous act. We could expect
nothing better from men who in the
hour of the Nations peril,-when the
fabric of the Union was topping, and
the future was uncertain, voted to
disfranchise those who were fighting
aud bleeding at the front We could
expect nothing more from demsgogues
and poltroons-Brick Pomeroys end
Vallandighsms-who, while rebels at
heart, hadn't the msnliness ''to take up
arms and oppose u.s."
But we desire to impress upon the
minds of the Northern soldiers the fact
that their comrades in arms 1.-The dis
abled of the Army of the Potomac, and
the manned Of the Western army--the
heroes of Gettysburg and the scalers of
Lookout Mountain-would soon be no
longer American citizens if Ohio Dem.
ocratic Legislation could make them so.
But one step more. Extend the power
of this mis-nomered party, and every
man who buckled on a, Z uiOn knspsack
andshouldered Union gun, would be
subjected to the same penalty for loving
the land of his fathers, and fighting to
perpetuate the institutions handed down
TO him. sos
What a Constitution-loving, and
what Freedom-loVing party the Dem
ocratic party is! How it decla;ms
about the ballot being taken from the
hands of Southern traitors, snd how it
legislates to take it from the hands Of
Union soldiers What a commentary

Burning of a Lake Steamer

The Steamer Sea Bird, owned in Chicago,
was burned On Lake Michigan, on the 9th
inst, and large number of passengers on
board lost their lives. When the boat was
some 20 miles off Chicago, she took fire in
the stern, and in few moments was en-
veloped in flames. The passengers were
either burned to death or were drowned after
jumping over board. Two or three were
picked up by passing boat.
CHICAGO, Ap-il l0.--James H. Leonard,
the third survivor from the steamer Sea Bird
makes staten of which the following is
the substance;
At about, : o'clock yesterday morning l
went up on deck and c9nyersed with the lst
mate of the steamer in regard to the distance
to Chicago, and leaned that it was about 20
miles; then went TO my wife's state-room,
aud soon aferward heard the alarm of fire;
went out to ascertain the cause and found the
boat on fire and the flames bursting out near
the stern, close to the state-room that / had
Just left; l Immediately rushed in TO rescue
my wife, but was prevented by the flames
which cut off communication with the state
room, and did not see or hear my wife, after
| had left the state-room when the alarm
was given.
Mr. Leonard agrees with the statement of
MI OhdhOSI1dlD, dS " tuc ScHeIdA utsCIip-
tioa of the catastrophe, but thinks there were
not more than 30 passengers on board.
Mr.. Leonard saw about twenty passengers
Jump into the water; some swan around for
some time, and others seemed to sink almost
Immediately. He saw no woman Jump over
board and did not see any women in the
water. He believed that there were about
ten women on board, all of whom must have
persisted in the flames. An attempt was
made to launch the steamers boat, but the
rapidity with which the flames spread rem
dered it impossible to accomplish that OBJ
ject. The sea was not very high, and the
boats could have easily weathered it if they
could have been launched.
From the best evidence which Captain
Goadrich, owner of the Sea Bird, has been
able to obtain, no effort was made to stop
the engines until circumstances prevented
their further motion. The result was that
the helm having been put a-port the boat
began to describe circles of nearly mile in
diameter. The belief of those who ought 10
know, is that had the progress of the steamer
been stopped at the first alarm the boats
might been gotten out and all saved.
The name of ID. @. Daggett appears among
those reported lost or the ill-fated ste amer
Sea Bird. Mr.. d. formerly resided in Nor
walk, where he had many friends and ac-

the house of J. B. Burr & Co., of Hartford
have in press a work entitled Grant as q
Soldier and Statesman which will be
ready for publication, shortly. and will be
sold by subscription. The title intimates its
contents. 1t will no doubt be eagerly sought
for as soon as it appears. The country is de-
sirous of some accurate account of General
Grant s whole course in the field of politics,
as well as battle. Ample means for illus rat
ing his opinions upon the questions of the
day, exist in his reports, letters aud acts
though this fact is generally lost sight of. II
the materials are properly used, it will ap-
rear that in the field of politics as well as
war, General Grants forte is action and his
headquarters always properly located that
he il as reliable as Statesmen, as he is as
a Soldier. The name of the author has not
YET been announced. but we understand that
the work is by one Of the ablest and most
conscientious literary gentlemen ofthe coun-
try, everyway fitted for the task. ard en-
joyiDg peculiar advantages, deriving the
most important part of his materials from
headquarters.
