CINE.
The rafting ring Of the fire bells yes

the engines, ever prompt to respond to the
first tap of the first bell Although the
flames Tapped up no buildings of impor-
lance, the occasion came near sending a body
to the dust and soul to eternity. The en-
CINE, in going TO the fire, at the crossing
Of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
and Market street, the locomotive missed
the fire engine and struck the tender that
was attached, smashing it all to pieces.
The spfinters and debris were scattered

had to be cleared away.
The heaviest misfortune was the wound

from the engine, and falling on his right
side, the back of his head striking the

The back of his head is mashed and his
right side badly bruised He was suffering
torturously yesterday afternoon, and was
considered in precarious condition. The
wounded man received the best medical
attention ofth city, and if no vital internal
injury be sustained, he may recover He
is a worthy gentleman, and has many
friends. who hone for his recovery.

Trial of Edward JosIyn.

This case wherein Mr.. Joslyn is charged
with stealing hides, near two years ago, to
the value of from 81, 500 to $4,000, came
up before Justice Wilkinson yesterday
The case is, magisterially speaking, rather
an extraordinary one. he was arrested
about two weeks since on the charge of
stealing the hides from Messrs. Hudson &
Hickey. The primary evidence appeared
to be his own confession, which may have
been wrung from him almost uncon-
sciously of the influence it would have on
trial. Col A. p Thurston is the attorney
for the prosecution, and Mr.. Dodd for the
defense. The case will be resumed at 10
o'clock this morning.

RELRSTISG.-The leading Radical journal in
West Virginia, the Wheeling Aatelligeacer, has
come out i'll favor of such 4 change in the con-
stitution Of that State as will, at IN early day,
cnfranchise all persons who have been de-
prired of the right of suffrage because OF their
participation in or sympathy with the "rebel-
lion," as the impudenL asses term the recent
civil war. No other State in the Union has
been cursed with such a set of legislators and
officers rs have afflicted West Virginia since
all The brains, wealth. and character, of that
little Commonwealth went into rebellion
against the rule OF ragged knaves and honest
fools III red wamuses. Persons destitute of ed
ncst ton, o. refinement, Of good breeding, and
of honor and honesty, have been permitted to
fill many Of the State and county offices. In
fact, men who had either reputation or pro-
perry were, SO long as the war lasted, afraid
TO risk either by accepting office under the re-
VOTED JACK CApgs, and so allowed almost every
post Of honor or profit to be filled by scaly va.
eabonds who had nothing TO lose. Wheeling
has many of the prescribed class within her
bounds, and the Latelli9encer no doubt reflects
the wishes OF all her men Of substance in the
article TO which we have alluded.

TIE Providence ELECTION. - providence,
Rhode Island, has been in terrible stew Tor
several weeks in regard TO the annual election
of a MAYOR. Mr.. SrRAGrE's friends were
spoken of by the brown and Ives organ rs
little better than public enemies, ana were
treated very much rs 4 rebel sympath'Zer
would have been treated in the same place
whilst the war was fragrant. There was an
immense sum of money spent. Liquor for
some DAYS previous 10 the election was free to
everybody. The SPRAGUE candidate with
drew the day before the election, assigning rs
a reason his unwillingness to be instrumental
in running the morals OF the people. The
Democrats ran candidate; but the anti
SpRAGuE candidate received more votes than
both the Democratic and the SrRAGrs candl-
date combined (Which latter was voted for not
withstandirg he had declned). The election
took place on the 18th. Mr. SrRAGrE viii rave
to Join the Democracy. There is no future
for him in the Republican party. He seems
to be n gallant "littlc fellow as he is called.
His distinguished fathcr-in law, Chief JUS
tice CHASE, is suspected OF having poisoned
the mind of the senator by matchmaking
him with some wholesome respect for the true
principles of free governmental damning sin
in the eyes of Radical pot-house politicians.

FLAG-FLYISG.-The Petersburg TiDtcS of
Thursday again called public attention TO the
fact, which had been previously mentioned in
the State J0tuTldi, that the Richmond DiSpatch
does not fly the flag of the WALKER party
that is to say, does not keep the names of the
gentlemen composing the true Republican
ticket" ut the head OF its leading editorial
column. Those sagacious journals infer that
we are not anxious to SEQ that ticket elected.
They do err greatly" The DiSpatch is not
"true Republican paper. True republican
ism doesn' t exist in this country at the present
lime; nor indeed anywhere else in the world,
TO cur knowledge. Mr.. JErFERsoN's remark
al cdDtanQun ru!guS-that if Il man couldn
govern himself he couldn't govern other peo-
pie, has lost all its wisdom, TO our mind But
neither do We belong TO the party techHicaNy
called " the true Republican" We have in
dictated wish that the people Of Virginia
who have votes should vote for gentleman
who has n strong desire to promote the best
interests OF the State rather than for one who
cares for nothing but 10 fill his purse at our
expense. There are so many reasons why our
people should vote for WALKER and against
WELLS that we are entirely unable TO appre-
clate the good sense of such of them as pro-
Tess TO be Indifferent to the result; and
therefore we have Zealously endeayored TO do
whatever lay in our power to defeat WELLS
and his followers of carpet baggers, scala
wags, and negroes. Our trumpet has given
no uncertain sound. We have been the out
spoken friend Of WALKER and earnest oppo-
nent of WgLLs. We aided all that we could
in inducing General GRANT TO submit certain
portions of the constitution to Il separate vote.
But all this doesn' prove that we are 4 " true
Republican by any means. We are not
enamored of the UNDERWOOD constitution how
ever expurgated, though we may have adyo-
Gated its acceptance, and have no idea of
grounding the arms of our rebellion against
uGprincipled scalawags, impecunious carpet
haggers, and ignorant negroes. We are "in-
dependent in all things, neutral in none"
What long tail our cat has, We set out to
puncture the bladder blown up by the Times
and the State Journal. We now stick this little
pin into it: The Dispatc. did not fly the flag
of SEYMOUR and BLAIR at any time during the
whole OF the late Presidential campaign and
unless we change our present notions, the
Dispntca will never run up the name of any
candidate at the head OF its editorial columns.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1869-05-15

We are of course as well aware as our
friend OF the Petersburg cypress can be that
there is no statute law which requires Gene
raj GRANT to appoint negroes 10 Official posi-
tons. But there is lse non scrtpta which has
