The second week in June has been re- markable among us for it's accidents On the 18th, MT. A. M, Bristol and wife were thrown out of fa8sM buggy, while coming back from Watertown, where they had been attending one of the Rev. MT. Potter's religious meetings. Neither was seriously injured, although two wheels of the buggy passed across Mrs. B.'s neck, leaving an ugly mark. The horses soon brought up against tree, where they left the wagon. One was thrown down by the shock and dragged some distance by the other. It afterwards recovered it's feet however, and the race continued some dis tance. One horse was uninjured the other, badly bruised and lamed.
 The same week, little daughter of Mr. Robert Pierpont, five years ofage, while rid ing with her father. was, in consequence of the horse starting suddenly, thrown to the ground upon her face; the wagon with the passing over her; bnS snbarrels of plaste, not seriously injured.s
 The Rev. Mir. McLa ughlin also received a fall dislocating his shoulder.
 We regret to state that Mir. Asa Gill bert, one of our most worthy and respect ed citizens, is no better. He has been an invalid for many years, and for many months has been confined to his bed with an acute chronic disease.

Progress.

The stand taken by the WorM aoa;ns of the revolutionary nonsense the Democracy have been in the habit of talking, has not been entirely without effect. Witness the following from the New Haven Reoiste,.- the first extract, from the issue of week be. fore last-the second, from that of last week:
 We notice that the Democratic journals tbrouob. out the country take issue with the World on fhe subject of negro suffrage. The World claims to regard 1t as fixed fact in the Southern States. or rather as something that has taken root there. We do not so regard it. The constitutionality of the so-called reconstruction acts, is now before tho Supreme Court, and other cases may he brought before it. Should that body decide these acts unconstitutional the World believes it will, if it makes any decision, actdt is to hi,,oe, q De- neocrdtic President and Democratic Congress from nadktag negro Sqtfdge Uery ua.ticed fiqcts Where negro suffrage is established by law, the Democ- racy will accept it, but not where it is established as in the South, by the bayonat : :.
 We propose to leave all dead issues "nu obsolete questions in the grave, where time ana sne naa sh;, calls have buried them, and duaafsge amGgSe Regarding it hg S fmmonstf6tiS Wrong-an act of atrocious op- precision, that no political exigency justify or excuse, we should be inclined to make it the most conspicuous issue in the canvass knowing it to be fraught with momentous consequences, if the question was within the purview of the Federal Government.

Reconstruction a Finalitv

The World still manfully stands to it's position that the Reconstruction question has been settled, finally. It maintains that 1t would be the plain duty, even of De- mocratic President to sustain the new gov. ernments against instruction. To let. ter of MT. George T. Curtis on this sub. ject, it replies as follows:-
 MT. Curtis's historical review of the Dorr ca se does not seem to us so relevant as is the fellownp passage rom the opinion of the Supreme Court in ! that case, as delivered by Chief Justice Fancy "Under this article of the Constitution if ros+s with Congress to decide what government is inc | established one in State. For, as the United staees guarantee to each State a republican gov ernment, Congress must necessarily decide vSba+ government is established or not, And when Inc Senators and Representatives of State are ad. mitted to the councils of the Union the aathorty or the government under which they are apnoint ed as well as it's republican character is recoonS by tue proper constitutional authoray. And HS de. ctsaon as binding upon euery other Departoaeu ot Me Goce'11nae'st, and could not be questioned in judicial tribunal " We do not assume to know whether tb;s ia q l sound exposition of the Constitution or not. We fony affirm that we have faithfully performed tho humble office of copyist Whether this opinion o1 the supreme court be correct or erroneous, it is at least so perfectly free from ambiguity that m amount of historical dissertation can either elnc date or obscure it. 'A'o1 If it be asked what the President has to do with the subject, We answer, much. In case of a. domestic instruction against the government of a State, the laws make it his duty to aid i'm it's oression by the employment of military force and according to the opinion we have quoted. a recoo milton by Congress takes out of tho Presidents hands the question whether an existing State go- yernment IS valid. The decision of Congress on that point binds him, and compels him to grant the application of the existing State authorities
