The indianapolis Journal admins
ters a sharp rebuke to the Board of
Trade of that city for its action with
reference to the State Fair disaster.
The Board passed resolutions that
nobody was to blame for the accident,
and expressing sympathy for the un
fortunate victims. The Journal
thinks word sympathy is not the most
substantial kind, and that the Board
Of Trade would have acted more
credi.ably if it had made a liberal
subscription for the relief Of the poor
and suffering.
Tt seems to be very well settled that
somebody is to blame for the accident
and Jet the blame ought not forrest
altogether upon the officers Of the
Fair or the the exhibitors Of the IN
gines and saw mills. Everybody is to
blame. Nine -tenths Of the accidents
which ,ccur with steam grow out Of
SON ivalry which is encouraged by
the people at large. 1t is so on the
river, and wherever else rival inter
ests are brought into contact with
each other. When the people learn
to set their faces against contests Of
this character, will accidents be less
frequent, and not before. We boast
of this being fast age" and every
thing that goes at al must 60 fast to
satisfy the demands Of the public
who are eternally complaining Of slow
cars, slow boats, and slow steam
engines. 1t is but little worth ou1
while to 60 into Mysteries over some
particular accidents resulting from
what seems to be a settled policy OF
the part of the people, 50 long as W.
are determined to sustain the policy
What we want is the education Of The
public mind to such an extent that
ray correctly estimate the value Of
single human life. When that worl
is accomplished We will, to a grea
extent, have removed the possibilitie
of disastrous accidents Of the kim
mentioned.

Considerable Excitement over the
Arrival Of the Legislature.
RICHMOND, VA, October 4.-Con-
siderable excitement prevailed in this
city to day over the arrival of the
Legislature. To night both parties
went into caucus. The Wells Repub-
licans adopted a resolution to enter a
protest, on the journal of the Legis
lature, against the admission of mem
bers who had not taken the iron-elad
oath. The Walker men, at their
caucus, were engaged with the nomi-
nations for officers Of the Legislature,
and no mention of United States
Senator was made.
The Walker members Of the House
Delegation adjourned till tomorrow,
which is taken as an Indication that
John B. Crenshaw, member of the
Society of Friends, viii be elected
Speaker. & 45@tBJ
The only new name presented in
political circles for the Senatorship,
is DOUGLASS Wallach, of W2shingt on,
who is now in this city.
Much excitement was created in po-
litical circles to day, by an erroneous
report that Horace Greeley, whose
name has been mentioned in connec-
tion With the Senatorship, had arrived
in the city.
OF the members who applied for GER
tiicates for election, General Can by
has refused twenty-seven, on the
ground that they were charged with
being Ineligible under the fifteenth
amendment. Nine of them were after

s GENTLEMAN from Arkansas in
forms the Memphis San that the cot
ton in that country has been seriously
Injured by the worm. He says that
one-hals crop would be large esti
mate for that section Of Arkansas in
which he has travelled, and it is one
of the finest cotton sections in the
world. A similar report comes from
Lowndes County, Miss, and also from
Georgia. In Lowndes the worm has
nearly ruined the crop within few
days past. The destruction has been
SO rapid and complete that the people
are represented as utterly ruined and
dispirited, so far as this crep is con
cerned.
