STEAM FIRE-ENa1NE Explosion.
the first time in the history of the steam
fire department in this country sad ca
lamity occurred in New York on Thursday
of last week. There was FIRE in the Bow
cry, and among other machines at work
was steam engine no. g. 1t had been at
work for some time, when the boiler ex-
ploded, causing the almost immediate death
of five persons and the serious injury of at
least twenty more. The accounts of the
disaster in New York papers differ as to the
cause of this explosion. In one it is stated
that the engineer reported the machine un-
seryiceable several weeks ago, when it was
taken to repairing shop and returned as
in good condition but the majority of tho
accounts are that there was not sufficient
water in the boilers, and the sudden tur
ming in of a cold stream to supply the def
cheney caused the explosion.
1t is quite evident that the explosion
was the result of negligence somewhere
and, as this is the first, it is hoped that i
will be the last case of the kind. The ex
citing life of fireman and the heroic char
acter of his calling should warn him. to re
alize the responsibilities of his position
Like engineers on steamships at sea, the,
should be always sober, always on the alert
for they have great responsibilities.

The n1,.s,ss,pp, ELECTION.


A despatch from the chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee, states
the result of the Mississippi election. The
constitution is defeated, and by the aid of
the colorcd VOTE
Coupled with this great result, we have
an. act of malignity, meanness, and cow
ardice on the part of the military despot-
ism In this State, for which corrective
will be found sooner or later. Governor
Humphreys, legal Governor, the success
full candidate of the Conservative party for
Governor, has been arrested by these mis-
creants and expelled from his office. The
Governors Office is under military guard
Such is the mode by which the Radicals
aim to fasten their yoke on the South and
the North alike. But violence, coward
ly abuse of power and authority, is only
one of the agencies these miscreants en-
gagged in this tyranny are ready to employ
to serve their turn. They will not scruple
to fill the boxes with spurious ballots, and
to manipulate the returns SO as to declare
the calcandidates elected. This is what
was done in Georgia, where 10000 ne
groes voted with the whites; in Arkansas,
and all the States where it became neces-
sary to employ fraud. We predict that
the military and the Freedmen's Burear
will perform their usual infamous part il
this business:

SuRRATT ADMITTED TO BAIL.-On Mon
day in the Criminal Court Of the District
of Columbia, in the case of John I'll. Su-
ratt, Judge Wyle discharged the prisoner
under the old Indictment for murder, and
set the trial on the new indictment for con-
spiracy, &c. for next Monday, admitting
the prisoner to bail in the meantime.
Such is the finale of the first proceeding,
which has probably cost the country from
hundred thousand to hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, much of which was alb
sorbed by the professional testimony hun
ters and complete witnesses who have been
levying heavy contributions upon the gov
ernment for services which turned out TO
be so worthless that new indictment had
to be found. An expenditure of so much
time and money, ending in such ELAINE
and impotent conclusion" ought at least
to inculcate more circumspection and pru-
denee hereafter in the instrumentalities
that are employed in such prosecutions. :.

Letter from odessa.
of the Middletown Transcript
ODESSA, june 25th, 1868.


Mr.. EDIroR 1t is said that apologies
are out Of place in almost all cases, al
though explanations are sometimes neces-
sary, however, be this as it may, weshall
in presenting this communication to you,
simply ask its publication.
We are rejoiced to find your valuable
paper circulated among our people; it
looks as if the community intend to not
only second your good work, but actually
help you in your enterprise. We look
upon the press as one of the greatest bles-
sings enjoyed by an enlightened commu-
nifty, scattering broadcast the precious
seeds of religion and morality, and propa-
eating the principles Of free government
among the people; therefore, we welcome
the TRANscRIPr as blessed vehicle,
bearing with it those great truths calcu-
lated to make its readers better men and
women, and for the advancement of the
interests of our great race.
If you and your readers are accustomed
to look upon our beautiful town, as the
writer has and does, the fact, we have nc
doubt occurs to you, that nowhere on this
Peninsula is there prettier place than
Odessa. Gazing upon it from an emf
nence, you see beautiful grove, with
here and there house top, or conspicuous
among the shade trees is Drawyer's Church
steeple. Enter and you find it teeming
with life. The anvil is heard ringing out
upon the air; the plane and chisel are
busy in fashioning work the merchant is
intent upon his daily routine of business
the school boys and girls trip along the
gravel walks, making the air vocal with
their merry laughter, and people are sit
ting under the shade of their trees with hap
py countenances. The dwellings, though
not costly, are commodious and handsome.
Not only would you admire our town,
but also its surroundings. A stranger in
visiting Odessa, lately, said, "you have
a fine country around here" Yes, God
has blessed us with susceptible soil and
a rolling landscape, so that men have i'm
proved these blessings, until the entire
country is in fourishing condition. Il
is quite an interesting walk, for persons
to visit the nurseries surrounding our town
These are owned by Messrs. Polk & Hy
att, Lord, Stevens, and Naudain, wht
have been supplying us with delicious
strawberries during the last few weeks
and we feel sorry that the season is over
We hope their labors have been as success
fully rewarded as they have added to GU
enjoyment of this luscious fruit.
We have in these few lines slightly il
troduced to you our town and suburbs
and will in the future write you somethin
Of the people; their doings and sayings
something of the internal work, lest tn
good people of your town may conclud
we are in lethargic condition.
Respectfully, &c. LUo1Us.

VIOLENT SroRM ON THE EASTERN SHORE

VIOLENT STORM ON TIE EASTERN SHORE.
We learn that terrific storm of hail,
rain and wind visited what is known as the
g Neck District" in Dorchester county,
Maryland, on Sunday evening last. Trees
were torn up by the roots, and considera-
BILE damage done to the fencing. The corn
and wheat crops in several places were
much injured, particularly from above
Hills Point to near Wallach's wharf. On
some few farms the wheat was cut down
as with scythe. A very sudden change
in the weather ensued, and at Cambridge
yesterday the atmosphere was unpleasantly
cool. This storm probably extended over
other portions of the State, and accounts
for the sudden change in the weather here
on Sunday night.

The Masons made an imposing parade
in Philadelphia, on Wednesday, on the oc-
casion of laying the corner stone of new
temple on Broad street. Union Lodge,
No. 5, of this town, was specially invited
to participate in the ceremonies. The
Lodge were the guests of Lafayette Lodge
No. II, Philadelphia, and the visiting
brethren from Union Lodge, speak of
their reception and entertainment by La
fayette Lodge, in the highest terms of ap-
probation. They were met at ths depot,
on Tuesday evening, escorted to their
quarters; escorted from their quarters on
Wednesday morning, to their position in
line, and after the public ceremonies were
ended, conducted to the Lodge Room,
where most sumptuous entertainment
had been prepared. Nothing was omitted
by Lafayette Lodge that could minister to
the comfort and enjoyment of their guests.
The yiands were superb, and the songs,
toasts and speeches, abounded in senti-
ment. As brethren of the mystic tie, they
'.met upon the level and parted upon the
square," and not exactly upon the square
either, for the members of Union Lodge
have an account with Lafayette, that viii
remain unsquared, until they shall have al
opportunity to repay their generous hospi
tality and courtesy.
