Terrible AccisicXi..

Oh the 9th instant, while large
crowd was assembled in the upper pr
ton of the capitol buill.ng at Rich
mond, Va, the floor gave way, and fell
80 feet to the floor below. This was
followed by general crash Of tinbers,
and the falling of inside walls. About
6Opcrsons were killed and double that
number badly wounded.
Directly after the disaster, the fire
alarm was sounded, and the hook
and ladder companies repaired to the
rescue. The polic, encirclcd the build

Too Fast.

The Seymour Times, radical paper,
seems to be getting tired of the negro.
1t says;
Z" We would respectfully suggest to
the leaders of the Republican party that
they are crowding the colored person"
a little too fast for their own good and
for his good. Negro suffrage is bitter
pill for at least one-half of the men who
have hitherto voted the Republican
ticket Hence, time should have been
given them to digest that before another
and worse dose was exhibited This
crowding of the negroes into office while
there are white men quite as deserving,
and as well qualified, wont win in the
long run. 1t will break the Rcpubli-
can party down. 1t will reduce the
negro to a worse condition than he &C.
eupicd in state of slavery, if that be
possible. 1t will sooner or later lead
to his determination. Politicians and
tanatical idiots who can't read the signs
of the times may elevate tie negro to
the United States Senate and to the
platforms of conventions but they eau
not find endorsement at the polls for
such disgusting conduct, and they will
find it out when too late 1t is probable
that both parties will strive for the ne
gro vote. We predict that this foolish
policy of elevating negroes to office, and
of catering to them for their votes, will
result in the formation of what will be
call be termed the White Mans Par
ty," which will carry the next presiden.
tial election if wisdom in the selection
of candidates is observed, and there is
not too much rebel Democracy mixed
up with it, Such movement is imm-
ncnt, and if made will break up the
Republican party. which would be de
plorable even, for the country Let US
secure the negro in his light to the
ballot, but for the salvation IF our par
ty-for the welfare of cur cuunt-y-flr
the good of the ne9ro-let us dissuade
him from seeking or accepting Office.

ROME, April "a.

The pope is just in receipt Of note
from the Prussian government, announ-
cling TO the papal authorities that the
North German states will take active
legal measures to prevent any invasion
of the rights of the states by the cleric
al power. The North German Bishops
had previously received the intimation
that no action on their part interfering
in any manner with the protestant poll
CIV of the state would be countenanced
or the enforcement of such papal DEGREES
allowed; and, rs was expected, that sen-
timent is officially communicated to the
pope. The ministry has been commits
stoned with the reply of the Vatican.
The third public sitting of the Ecu
menical council was held this morning
There was magnificent assembly. The
pope made his entrance at . O'Clock; all
the benches were occupied by that hour
Many bishops, heretofore abstaining
from the meetings, attended. After
the celebration of mass, the non-voting
prelates withdrew. The four first chap
tiers Of the first schema de fde, con
demning rational philosophy and hcter-
odoxy, were read aloud. The serutators
collected the votes, which were all in
the affirmative. The pope, from his
throne, then announced and sanctioned
the decree of the council. The pro.
cecdings were impressive
The schema voted yesterday, contains

WASHINGTON, April %.
The state department has taken act
I've measures TO repress any attempted
invasion of Canada by the Fenians.
The impression has gone forth that the
United States authorities would remain
passive and allow the Fenians to violate
the neutrality lawswithout interference
Secretary Fish says however that the
laws will be promptly enforced, and
those who attempt to violcte them Sc.
verely punished. The government is
advised that May LIST has been agreed
upon by he Fenian leaders as the time
to make raid upon the Canadian front
ierS, and Emitted States troops Gill be in
readiness at that time to suppress any
demonstration.
The telegraphic dispatches from To
ronto protesting to state information has
been given 10y the government of the
United States to the Canadian authorities
with regard to the Fenians or c in
tentions ofthis government are not to be
relied on; they al pear to be prepaid with
a design of invariably disappearing
this government and are generally pure
fiction
Rumor says that Sunday next has been
definitely fixed by the Fenians for the
commenc cement raid on Canada.
