THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND FREE
TRADE.

From the \. Y. World.
The Times makes the extraordinary aver
ment that the Democratic party makes free
trade no part of its platform-from which we
Judge that it has not heard of the Democratic
Conventions in Maine or Ohio-and bases it
on this, that they venture no further than
talk about reducing the burdens on indus
try and revising and amending the system of
taxation
Now, this reduction of the burdens on in
dustry is the very thing desired by a great
number of people who don't know, or at least
couldn't prove, as any free trader can, that
our protective tariff is one of the greatest and
worst possible of all the burdens on our in
dustry. Therefore that 'talk' will be kept
up by Democrats.
But, in the next place, our home industries
are no longer burdened directly with tax
The only internal tax on all classes of mer-
chandise is the 81 per thousand tax on sales
whether of home manufactures or of imported
goods. So that one chief feasible way of re-
ducing burdens on industry is by reducing
the tariff; and the very thing alleged by the
Times as proof that the Democratic party is

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Startling rumors pre-
vailed here this morningIconceming n railroad
accident near the Annapolis junction. on the
road to Baltimore, to the train on which the
President was n passenger. The accident
occurred about twenty minutes to 10 o'clock last
night. On inquiry the facts were ascertained to
be as follows:--
The locomotive ran against a COW, and before
the train passed the COW was thrown down, with
her legs under the wheels of the baggage car.
The latter and the two front passenger cars were
thrown off the track. These cars were over
turned and shattered, and the passengers thrown
promiscuously. Much excitement naturally pre-
vailed, and measures were Immediately taken TO
eXtricate the passengers from their perilOus
situation. The cars when they left Washington
were in the following order:-After the two first
cars were the chair car, the sleeping cars and the
Presidents car In the last-named were the
President, his wife, and two children; Nj Cra-
mcr, the son-in-law of the President, and his
wife, and Secretary Boutwell,.
No one was injured on the cars in the rear of
the two front passenger cars, but on these ten
or twelve persons were cut and bruised, several
severely. So far as known none were fatally
injured. -Four passengers who received bruises
returned this morning to Washington. Several
of the others remained in the vicinity of the ac-
cident, and others proceeded northward. As
soon as information of the disaster reached
Washington relief was despatched to the scene
and after delay of five hours other cars were
substituted for those damaged, and the train
reached Baltimore in time to connect with the
early morning Northern train from that city.
The above account is based on information re.
ceived hereby the railroad authorities. but the
passengers who have returned to this city repre-
sent the accident as far more appalling and seri-
Gus. One of them says that at least 20 persons
were injured. One from Georgia had his face
battered completely out of shape, and was
picked up senseless, weltering in gore. 1t is
not probable he will recover Not only were
the first two passenger cars completely de-
stroyed, but the two Immediately in the rear of
them were damaged.
These cars were thrown violently together
The passengers in the after cars were startled
by the screams of the wounded. One man had
his leg broken. Special cars were despatched from
Baltimore and Washington for the relief of the
sufferers. The surgeons sewed up the heads of
a number of persons, and set the limbs requiring
such services, besides rendering other necessary
professional offices. There is now no obstruction
to travel.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY
A Man Kills his wife with n Club

Says the Pittsburg Commercial of yesterday
A horrible murder occurred Monday forenoon,
about eight miles from West Newton, Westmoreland
county. well-knOwn farmer, in a moment OF sud
den passion or insanity fractured his wife's skull
with huge club.
1t appears, from all the information we were able
to obtain that the murderer, whose name is Samuel
Morrow, is a resident of South Huntington township,
WestmOreand county. On Monday afternoon he
was at work in field near the house with his sou,
who is young man about eighteen years of age.
Mr. Morrow left the field and went 10 the house
about ten O'Clock, and soon after the young man
heard his mother screaming "murder." On
rushing intg the house he found her lying
on the kitchen floor, and his father beating her in
a terrible manner with large club The young
man interfered and endeavOred to wrest the club
from the hands Of his enraged father but
cessful, the old gentleman being a powerfuy-built
man, while the boy slightly built and was
obliged to retreat before the attacks of the huge
club He for assistance but before he returned the
cries of the poor woman had ceased, and she
found lying on the floor, life being extinct. There
large number of bruises on her body, and her
skull was fractured by terrific blow in the back of
the head.
The murderer had escaped, and it is supposed fed
across the fields to the woods The affair produced
a great excitement in the township, and twenty-five
men turned out to hunt the murderer, but yet he
has succeeded in eluding arrest. He had no hat or
coat on at the time he left the house.
Mr. Morrow was man about tifty-tve years of
age and it is stated about two years ago showed
symptoms of insanity, but was supposed to have
entirely recovered. No motive, unless be insanity,
is known for the commission of the horrible murder.

THE LAIRDS.
An Argument Against the Builders Of the Ain
bamo from nm Unexpected English Source.

DuInu from nm unexpected English source.
The London Times after having resolutely de-
Tended the good faith OF the British Government i'm
its course towards the United States during the late
war, is willing to concede that the Messrs. Laird
were morally guilty Of the acts for which we hold
the English nation responsible. The recent dplo-
matte collision has struck Outsuch SPARKS OF truth
as are contained in the following
lt will not escape the notice OF the public that
though the builders OF the Alabama confined them
although they sold and delivered simply an empty
SHIP and Kept themselves alOof from all the proceed
ngs which ultimately turned her into mau-of-war,
they did, nevertheless, know they were building a
ship for the Confederate Navy, and that they had de-
lvered her into the hands OF those who would com
pete her for its service IL is likewise admitted that
though Mr.. Laird, the member for Birkenhead was
not actually at that time partner In the firm, he
also knew Of the building Of the Alabama, and Of the
purposes for which she was built.
IL is claimed that the absence Of any law providing
for such state of facts eXonerates her Majesty's
ministers from all blame. They were perfectly will
ing to execute any statutes relating to the matter
stances, were necessarily obliged to allow the
Messrs. Laird free course. The Times says fur
ther:-
We cannot but see, as constituting kind OF case
against ourselves. that, notwithstanding all Messrs
lards' disclaimers nobody doubted the real desti-
nation Of the vessel they were building. That she
was designed for vessel OF war was never so much
as disguised that she was intended for the service
f the COnfedeTates universally understood.
OnlCial inspectors and private spies watching
her and were enabled to watch her day after day
Ii does little good to prove the publicity Of all these
proceedings, for in fact there need of secrecy
So long the vessel neither armed nor equipped
but everybody did suspect her, and the suspicious
were certainly well founded

Says the New York Times of this mornng:-
report was current last evening to the effect that
the steamship City OF Paris, OF the Inman line,
which sailed on Saturday afternoon for Liverpool
and Queenstown, had fOundered at sea- and that
the passengers and crew had been lost. She carried
40 cabin and 200 steerage passengers.
AS most OF the passengers on board the vessel
were residents of this city, great anxiety natu-
rally manifested to learn the truth of the rumor in
relation TO the loss Of the steamer.
Inquiries were made at the OfllCe OF the lnman
Steamship Line, when the superintendent MIR.
Nicholson said there was no truth whatever in the
reports in regard to the destruction of the vessel
Inquiries elsewhere failed to indicate even the
origin of the report, which, had it reached here by
any vessel arrived since Saturday, would surely have
had an endorser.
1t is said that the steamship Germania, which ar
rived at this port this morning, had spoken the City
Of Paris, and that the vessel was in good condition
and all were well on board
Among the passengers 10y the City of Paris were
