"THE JURY RECOMMEND" &U.-In the YER
dict on the persons killed by the recent explo-
sion of fireworks in wagon the jury recon-
mend the prevention by the authorities of the
use of fireworks on similar occasions If the
result in this case do not secure such proven
ton we doubt if the authorities will; but
should not some of Kennedy's many orders on
squibs have arrested this perambulating vol
cano before the accident happened?
NEGRO INSURGENTS IN CUBA.-Our special
telegram from Cuba, dated in Havana yester-
day and forwarded by way of Key West,
reports fresh battles, severe fighting, the exhi-
bition of determined spirit on both sides, and
continued losses to the Spaniards. The negro
element stands forth prominently as the moving
power of an insurrectionary attack on Puerto
Principe, the Africans fighting with much anima-
ton, although steadily opposed by the Spanish
soldiers. The blacks succeeded in the main
object of their assault-the destruction of a
large stock of government provisions-and
retired in good order. The acerbity Of
the contest is becoming more intense hourly
and its consequences more demoralizing and
desolating. Spain cannot hope to conquer the
revolt, as contemporaneous with the news
from the island comes to us, through the
Atlantic cable, intelligence of continued
agitation in the mother country in consequence
of the movements of Don Carlos. What is to

Railway Accident. Presidential Par.
ty escape injury.

BALTIMORE, June 10.-,Last night a
train for New York with the President
and party aboard met with serious acct.
dent near Annapolis junction. Many ru-
mors prevail, but the following account
furnished by the officers of the road is
true: The train was proceeding at the
usual speed entering cut, when the en-
CINE struck COW, throwing her from the
track against bank. The engine, bag
gage and mail Car passing safely when the
COW rolled under the wheels of the smoking
car and the train stopped about 100 yards
from where the cow struck. The smoking
car was filled with passengers and was
thrown off the track and was completely
wrecked and crushed. The second pas
senger car mounted the smoking car and
rested on it at right angles. This was bad
ly damaged but not broken up. The next
car ran on the wreck and into it few feet.
1t was considerably damaged. The only
persons injured were in the first two pas
senger cars. The number is stated at
eight. OF these, Samuel Weld, Ger
man of Atlanta, is the only one seriously
injured. He was badly bruised about the
face and head, and will probably lose one
eye. The other seven persons were more
or less bruised Col G. w. Wells, of Al
bany, was somewhat injured, but is able to
keep on his journey home. Evans, of AL
exandria, was brought here and carried
home to Alexandria. The train also brought
in one man from Georgia, slightly injured.
One colored woman's head was badly cut,
and three colored men were bruised. G..
W. Knapp, Of this city, received scalp
wound. Much solicitude as to the safety
of President and party was felt. Some Of
the passengers proceeding to the rear car
are asserted to have found the President
smoking on the platform and not aware of
the danger. The brakeman on the train
had his leg broken. The darkness of the
night added to the horrors ofthe situation,
as it prevented the uninjured passengers
from seeing the full extent of the disaster.
The embankment at the point Of the acct
dent was 20 feet high.

SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1869.

RADICAL JUBILEE.-The RAIDS. had a
Jubilee in this city on Thursday night, over
the election of s. Garfeldc. The affair was
held in the street and We had an opportu-
nifty ofwtnessing the ceremonies. Speech
es were made from the balcony Of the Pa
cifc house. chiefly by the Federal officials,
in which the rabblc below were graciously
Informed that they had achieved great tri-
umph. twill be remembered that accord
ing to Beach, Watson, p. d. Moore, Judge
Evans, Cherokee Smith, T. NJ. Reed, and
other leaders ofthe Radical party, the prin-
cipal contest has been between Salucious
the peoples champion, and the Federal Off
Gals. The whole scene was after the style
of those Roman triumphs, in which the
conquered and the captive were the chief
feature of the exhibition. No rccluse
soured with the world, and disguised with
himself, ever lacerated his own flesh with a
penitential briar more zealously for the glo-
ry of the church, than some Of those fcl-
lows lashed their own backs, for the glory
of the Radical party. 1t was really heart
rending to see such venerable fathers as
the Angora, whipping themselves into
paroxysms of loyalty under the supcrintend-
ancc of such Republicans as =. ID. Moore
and Judge Evans. Notwithstanding the
oft-repeated assurance that Garfcldc's cleo
ton was great triumph, many of the RAIDS.
could not have looked worse, if they had
been attending funeral instead of Il tri-
umph. For some that we saw there we re-
ally felt compassion, when we thought Of
what was in store for them as we knew that
they had been courageous enough to be
consistent and truthful to themselves and
so far as our wishes 60, we would be glad
to see them able to protect themselves from
the pains, probatious and penanccs, to which
Pee Dee and Pud propose to subject them

such old liners, as Hale and Gale, started

For that class of Republicans who, setting
themselves up as lights of the people, were
mean enough to urge their friends to defeat
Gar6elde, and still to vote for him them
selves, we have no commiseration; the re-
suit shows their influence to have been lust
as insignificant as it should be- AS be-
