TEaRIBLE ACCIDENT.

From a gentleman who was on the
train a. the tune We get some ofsths par
ticulars Of the fearful boiler explosion,
which occurred on the Virginia and Ten
nesse Railroad on Sunday last. The train
was westward bound, and about ten miles
this side of LyAchbug, when the explo-
sion took place. 1t seems that the engi-
neer had been warned before leaving
Lynchbarg that he was getting things too
hot, but his reply was that it was his bus
iness. While going down grade at the
point above indicated, he shut of the
steam when almost Immediately the boiler
gave way with terrific explosion, in
stantly killing himself and the fireman.
The bodies were terribly mangled, and a
portion of the engineers body was thrown
distance of four hundred yards. The
track beneath the engine was broken into
fragments, and the ground much torn up.
One of the cars ran on the destroyed piece
of road and barely escaped being upset.
None Of the passengers, fortunately, we're
injured. We learn from the Press and
Herald that the engineer was named Je-
rome Fonte and that be came from Wash
ingtOn County, Tennessee.
1t is said that the engine was an old
one and had but recently been repaired,
A short time ago one of the engineers on
the road gave up his situation rather than
take charge of this engine, He consider
ed it too unsafe to be used. ..

Destruction of Arms.

MEMPHIS, Oct TO- The little steamer
Hesper, which left here at four o'clock,
yesterday afternoon, with four thousand
stand of arms which, it is alleged, we're
destined for negroes in Arkansas, returned
to this port to-day. Her officers state,
that while wooding some twenty-five miles
below here, on the Mississippi side, the
steam tug Nettie Jones bore in sight with
barge in tow containing about forty men
in disguise, who took possession Of the
Hespcr, placing guards over the pilot and
engineer. They then cut the boat loose
and steamed up the river. The boxes
containing the arms and ammunition were
then broke open, the guns broken and
thrown into the river.
After thus disposing of the arms, the
party re-ombarked on the tug and started
up the river, In attempting to 60 through
chute she grounded. The parry then
went ashore and took to the woods.
1t is said the party seized the ting be-
low Fort Pickering soon after the Hesper
had left this port. The affair causes great
excitement here. s.asr,.- fa..ta,r..

A Capital Point.

In another article we have mentioned
the importance of increasing to the ut
most the number Of Democratic members
of the next Congress. This increase is
obviously of the first Importance. ...-
If Seymour should be elected, we want
a Democratic House to support him and
if Grant should be elected, we want a
Democratic House to check him, or at
least such number of Democratic mem
bers as may give the ascendancy to the
less dangerous section of the Republican
majority. If we elect such number of
Democratic members, we may, even tho
we should lose both the Presidency and
the House, be able Notwithstanding to de-
feat some of the worst measures which the
Republicans have in contemplation, as for
instance the establishment of negro suff-
rage in all the States. There is indeed
no foretelling and no foreseeing all the
good which might thereby be effected.
But enough can be foreseen to warrant the
Democrats in putting forth their highest
exertions to obtain the means of securing
it, The portion of this means which We
obtained in the elections of Tuesday is
valuable and, cheering. 1t remains for US
to increase it to the utmost in November.
And if our friends in the States that
hold their State elections then shall do as
we'll in this respect as our friends in Ohio
and Pennsylvania and Indiana have just
done, the increase, though it may not be
to the utmost, will prove sufficient. 1t
will secure to us at least the balance OF
power in the next House, which, no mat
ter how the Presidential election may re-
suit, will enable us in measure to pro-
tect the Constitution and the liberties of
the people. This is capital point. Let
us bend every energy to achieve it. And
who knows that the energy which achieves
it may not at the same time achieve the
Presidency This result is certainly not
impossible, and its possibility as certainly
is no reason why the energy should not be
put forth. ~ sq & lss' g
Rally, then, fellow Democrats, and with
new and more impetuous energy, charge

your adversaries. If you do your whole

New YORK, October Is.

=.
The World has a very remarkable edl-
torial this morning. 1t ascribes the DEM
ocratic defeat to the popularity Of Grant
and the alleged perversions Of Blair's po-
sition, and declares that, in simple con-
test of principles, the Democrats would
have triumphed. 1t intimates that the
recognized leaders Of the party should call
upon Seymour and Blair to resign. 1t
adds: eff, in review of the whole situa-
ton, it shall be concluded that mistakes
have been made, it is better, they should
be corrected now than that the country
should be dragged through four more
weary years of strife to be redeemed
then by measures of the same kind that
might, by magnificent exercise Of pluck,
be as easily adopted now. Our principles
have not been rejected in these elections.
There is no call TO change them. ALI
other elementslof the canvass are trivial
compared with the success of our ,princi-
pies. II requires some greatness of soul
to act q bold part. In this unexpected
crisis, when everything hangs upon swift
and courageous decision; ip this hour,
when the party stands with one foot over
the brink Of peril and the other on the
edge ofvictory, the capacity Of q few men
to form a great resolution may shape the
destiny Of the country owe speak sas

ALMOST UNIVERSALLY DENOUNCED.

The proposition to change candidates
at this late hour of the contest is denounc
ed by Democrats everywhere. We cannot
give the authors of this proposition credit
for entire honesty Of purpose. At least
it is difficult to believe that treachery
docs not Turk somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of the thing. How change, now,
could result otherwise than most disas-
trously fer the Democratic party we can
not possibly see. Fortunately, the mat
ter has been so regarded by almost the
entire party, As has been aptly said, to
change now, would be like swapping horses
in the very middle of the surging current.
The bare suggestion will, we fear, be the
cause of loss of strength to the Demo-
cratic party at the polls in November /;
and it may be that defeat then can be
very clearly traced to the influence of the
men who are now protesting such friend
ship for the party and such zeal for the
welfare of the country, but who are actu-
ally, if not intentionally, the worst enc
mics of both. Had it been proved by the
development of events that the New York
Convention had made unwise selections,
had chosen as standard bearers men not
entirely up to the required standard of
patriotism and craftsmanship, it would be
too late to change now. But the facts in
tho case are not so. We believe that both
of the Democratic candidates have the en-
tire confidence and will receive the sup
port. so far as he can give it, of every true
friend of the party. Disappointed politi-
clans, men who have never forgiven the
party because they were not nominated,
and their personal adherents, view the
matter in different light, and it was in
the interest, or to gratify the pique Of
such, that the effort was made to secure
the withdrawal of Seymour and Blair.
We are not sure that we would not rather
see the party suffer defeat under its chos,
en- leaders than to be successful under
such eleventh hour interlopers and tricks
ters as have sought to control this matter
