AGAR FILLED WITH PASSENGERS HURLED
:oREIs AN EMBANKMENT IN THE NIGHT
Tuesday nights eastern-bound train on the
Sioux City road, conductor Chris Doherty
Comprised Of baggage car, two passen-
ger and FIVE laden freight cars, met with
quite an accident about $3.50 o'clock A. M.
iGne. and q half miles this side Of Farley,
resulting from a broken rail. The engineer
felt it as the locomotive passed over it, and
moment after, the rear passenger Car was
rolling over an embankment forty feet high.
Fortunately, the growth of young timber
checked the violence Of the fell, or great
loss Of life must have ensued. So great
was the force with which the car was
thrown from the train that it carried away
the rear platform of the car which preceded
it. Both ends Of the car thrown off were a
wreck, and the scene within it beggars de-
scription. There were, it is said, some thirty
passengers in it at the time of the accident,
and the capsizng Of the car threw them
over and among each other with confu-
sion better imagined than described. The
stove was hurled from its place, and one
man thrown upon it, burning him severely,
and another had the misfortune to have it
rolled on top of him, bruising lat not burn
ing his person. AS soon as the messengers
and attaches Of the train could hasten to the
rescue they did, expecting to find the dead
and dying on every hand, and were sur
prisedly glad to find that not one was even
dangerously injured. The car was fred by
the stove, and the report current 10 that it
was totally Consumed after the leaving Of
the train.--Dubuque (IoDa) Times, Dscena-

a SAD CASE OF DRowNING.-On Christ
mas day, John Fiery, Esq, Of Fairview, in
Washington county, Maryland, lost his life
under very distressing circumstances, hay
ing been drowned in the Conococheague
creek, short distance from his home. 1t
appears that on that day he had gone to the
State Line depot with conveyance to meet
his son, q student at Gettysburg, who was
on his way home to spend the Christmas
holidays, and on his return concluded to
ford the Conococheague ut point some two
miles above the Broad Fording bridge.
Finding that the creek was partially CO.
vered with ice, he unhitched one Of his
horses and rode in for the purpose OF
breaking up the ice so as to open passage
for the buggy. But as he was riding
through the stream g large cake of floating
ice struck and knocked the horse off his
feet, and in the foil Mr.. Fiery was carried
under the solid ice aud Immediately disap-
peared, the horse reaching the shore after
having foated down some distance. OF
course, under the circumstances, no timely
efforts could be made to save him, and he
thus, in the twinkling Of an eye, persisted
in the presence o. his son and one or two
other persons who were standing upon the
shore. Mr.; Fiery was q gentleman over
sixty years Of age-long a prominent, in,
fuential and highly-esteemed citizen OF the
upper part of the county-and leaves very
large family connection, as well as many
devoted friends, to mourn his melancholy

HoMro1DEs IN Observation-Disclosures,
December 3O.---A tragedy has just hap
pened in Bartholomew county. 1t appears
that William Dean, about forty years Of
age, but gay and manageable, had paid
his attentions to Miss Matte Nading, o
young and promising lady Of that place,
and after living with her as his wife TO,
some time, claimed to have procured 8
divorce, and Immediately married hel
younger sister Carrie. Maddened with
chagrin and jealousy, she had been fire..
quently heard to threaten his life. On
tuesday evening the two sisters we're con-
yersing with each other, and Dean, think.
ing it was concerning himself, entered, 6
liepute arose, and he slapped his former
wife in the face. She Immediately got hel
revolver and shot him, the ball taking
effect in the breast, and causing instant
death.
Euonsuille, December 80. Richard
Russell was shot and Immediately, killed
five miles from Mount Vernon, on Thursday
night, by Gabriel Hathaway. Hathaway
had been knocked down and beaten BY
Russell, and was running, pursued by Rus
sell, when he turned and fired, shooting
him through the heart. 1t was the resul
of an old grudge. Russell had been mar
ried only three weeks. Hathaway has mo-
been arrested.

WASHINGTON, December 81, 1868.
The subcommittee of the House Judi
ciary Committee had the case of Judge
Busted, Of Alabama, before them to-day,
and examined ex-United States Judge Chill
ton, and adjourned until Monday. The
witnesses before the committee have been
enjoined to keep secret the details of their
testimony.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has made decision Of interest to distillers.
The machinery in distillery in New York
having got out Of repair so as to require
suspension of business, notice was given to
the assessor, who gave permission for work
men to enter the establishment to make re-
pairs. TWAS then discovered that there
were in the distillery seven tubs Of mash
worth, say $1,000, which, if the strict
letter of the law we're pursued, would
have to be destroyed. Upon presents
ton of the facts to the Commissioner,
he decided that when suspension Of bust
ness occurs by casualty or unforeseen cir
cumstsnces, rendering 8 stoppage Of bust
ness inevitable, the lawmakers did not in
tend that property should be sacrificed or
destroyed, az would be required where the
process Of distillation had been kept up in
wilful violation of the law.
The probability is that nomination will
be made early in January to fill the place
now held by G.. E. Jay Morris, United
States Minister to Turkey difficulties hav
ing arisen between Morris and certain
Turkish officials, which it is claimed make
it proper that our present Minister should
! be recalled.
New-Year's E0iidayj vii be generally
observed here tomorrow. Besides the Pre-
sident's reception, which is always an in
teresting feature, there will be others that
will attract large numbers Of visitors.
Among them are the receptions of the Vice
President elect Colfax and the several mem
beers of the Cabinet and foreign ministers.

Special Disp stch to the Kew York Times
WAsHrSGToN, December 29.-Your COR

bama negotiations have suffered no seriors
delay, notwithstanding the change in the
British Cabinet. Tho answer to MIR.
Stewards amendments to the protocol,
which amendments we're printed In brief in
the Times Of Decestar LIST. sas received
from Reverdy johnson by telegraph on the
10th instant. The British Government &C
cepts all Of Mr. Stewards amendments--to
wit, it agrees to abolish the distinction be-
tween the Alabama claims and other claims
contained in the origina, draft Of the pro-
tocol, which eliminates from the treaty the
fourth, fifth, and sixth articles, which arti-
cles, as they originally stood, also required
that in the peculiar cases Of Alabama
claims unanimous decision of the COM
missioners should be required; but the
distinction between the claims being abo-
lished, this requirement fails with it,
and Mr.. Stewards amendment, that q
majority be sufficient to decide any case,
il. acceded to. Great Britain also. agrees
to the amendment that the commits
sion shall sit in Washington, and that the
umpire selected shall be subject to the rati-
fcation Of the Senate. On the 10th instant
Mr.. Seward replied to Mr.. Johnson's dis
patch, proposing several additional modif-
cations, none Of them, however, of q very
serious character. He desires that the
treaty shall be styled a PROTOCOL" instead
Of a " convention %; but this is not indis-
pensable. he further desires that the pro-
tocol be signed here, instead Of in London,
so that it may be Immediately transmitted
to the Senate, together with the naturaliza-
ton and San Juan boundary treaties, nog
ready to be sent in; though this is not in.
dispenssble. He further proposes o change
in the mode of selecting the umpire-tc
wit, that when the commission cannot de-
eide case, they shall report their disa.
greement to their respective Governments
and if an umpire be not agreed upon by
said Governments within six months, then
the commission are to select each side 9
name for itself, and the umpire is TO be
chosen by lot.

The Negro Trouble In Georgia,

SAVANNAH, Ga, December. 3l.-The
negro troubles in Ogeechee county continue.
Mr.. Middleton's house was burned last
night, and his crops ruined. All the whites
there came to the city with the exception of
one, who has not been seen since the
trouble. The sheriff with q possee went
out this morning, but made no arrests. The
negroes are in large force, and fully armed
and determined to resist the authorities.
Scouts sent out this afternoon were stopped
six miles from the city. All six roads lead

A public meeting was held to-day at the

and the further consideration of the matter
was postponed till tomorrow.

ms OF late years given Democratic msjo-
ity ranging from sixty to seventy thou
and. and there are counties whose aggre-
ate voting population does not amountto so
inch, which send as many or more dele
stes to the Legislature. In Connecticut
ne disproportion is fearful, the ratio OF
representation as between the rural dis
riots and large towns, like New Haven and
Hartford, being as twenty to one in favor Of
he former. This very inequality of repre-
:.nta,ion will give to the Radicals Of New
York and Connecticut two United States

tbe Democrats would have had them had
the ratio of representation been as nearly

adjoining the Tennessee line, who had been
for the last two months studying law with
