A GRAND AND TERRIBLE SCENE.-It is
said that only one person il known to have
had full view Of the Northern Railroad
accident at Canaan, New HAMPSHIRE. That
individual was laborer at work in a field
adjoining the scene of the calamity He
heard both trains coming, and foresaw from
their speed what would be the result Wa.
ing his hat he ran with all haste toward tba
track. When within a few rods of tbe roaJ
the collision occurred, and the scene is ro-
.norted to have been grand aud terrible
THE engines were long ones and were Of
very uniform size and strength. The in
slant they met both of their boilers ex-
nloded with power that made the earth
tremble percepfibly. As the engines struck
they appeared to embrace each other IN a
terrific. deadly combat, then rose s. some
twenty feet IN the air ana finally tel to
gether in one confused mass OF hot Steam
ING and broken ruins. The moment OF the
collision the air was filed with Tying nag
ments OF wood and iron which III some eases !
were carried twenty rods. The even weign5I
and strength OF the two engines caused
much of the force of the cOncussion 10 e&-
nend itself quite uniformly on the machines
themselves and thus limited the disaster 70
the trains.

We COPY this from a Western paper ::

NEW YORK, August S.-A special dispatch
SAYS that the President, after consulting
with General Sherman on Friday last. took
occasion to forward to General Sheridan
several official documents, which, in reality,
places him in the position of representa-
tive of the President as cOmmandel-in-chief
Of our army and navy. He also sent some
telegraphic messages on the subject to Min
listers Bancroft and Washbulne, and to Gen
eral Sheridan. There is 10 doubt in the
mind of General Sherman that General
Sheridan will be admitted to the headquar-
ters OF the French and Prussian armies,
and treated with all proper courtesy. He
says that DR.. Evans had no right to make
any request of the French authorities for
General Sheridan, and that when our Minis
ters make a request there Will be no refusal.

German Wealth in New York.

New York Correspondence Rochester Democrat
The richest man in New York, in his day,
was German emigrant, who never learned
9Th" but always said 50 tousands' instead
of thousands" and dat" instead of that"
His son William and his grandson John
Jacob lAstor,, are the chief landholders in
America, but still retain the strong German
aspect of their ancestors. Indeed, | think
that Colonel John Jacob Aston might be
taken for newly landed Prussian. Some
important branches of manufacture have
for long time been il German hands, and
have brought immense wealth. Here
are the Havenmeyers. the Ocken-
bausens, and the Mullers, who have
gathered immense fortunes out of the sugar
refining business, which some of them yet
control The furniture business is still in
their hands The richest manufacturer in
oil colors in this city is Daniel F. Fernan,
German The stock exchange abo,lnds
with German brokers' and German bankers
are now among the heaviest men in Wall
street. They have very strong natural feel
ings, and will not remain idle spectators of
their country's ruin. The most popular
melody to-day among this class is that
famous national war song commencing with
the words He shall not have the free Ger

The New York World is venturing 10 adj
wise the South on the negro question:

The New 1 Ork VOrn Is VentuflnS 20 ad-
wise the South on the negro question:
We tell them (says the EDITOR in all can
dor and plainness, that they only rivet their
chains by further opposition to negro suf-
frage. 1t is not by negro votes that they
are oppressed, but by white votes. 1t is
vain for them to inscribe on their political
banners that they are white man S party"
so long as their tyrants consist of Congress
elected by white votes. Negro suffrage is
the result of a white movement. The col
ored men did not ask for suffrage till the
white Radicals put it into their heads. The
colored men would vote rightly enough if
the white Radicals did not mislead and de-
ceive them.
We ask the Southern Democrats to recog-
nize the fact that the North is the real
battle ground for political freedom for their
section. Here, where the victory is to be
won, if won at all, we have no cOlored voters
worth naming. 1t is contest between two
parties of white men, and perpetuation OF
the old quarrel about the rights OF the col
Ored man only strengthens the enemy. The
negro question is the only one on which the
Radical party agree it is their only prin-
ciple of cohesion. The surest way to pre-
vent the disintegration OF the Republican
party is to keep that question alive, and
continue to force it upon the country as a
political issue. The Democrats can become
a majority only by drawing off some Re
publican votes but ON the negro issue the
Republican party can easily hold its own,
and so long as it retains the control Of Con-
gress there can be no freedom in the South.
