A fearful disaster occurred at Rich
mnnd, Virginia, on Wednesday, the
9th inst. A large crowd were assem-

dense weight, precipitating the crowd to
the floor below, which was that of the
House of delegates. More than GO were
killed outright, and upwards of 200 more
or less seriously injured. Some escaped
the terrible fall by jumping into the
windows when the floor gave way.
Directly after the disaster the hook aud
ladder companies Of the city came to the
rescue. A Gordon Of police were drawn
around the building; ladders thrown up
to the windows; and for three hours the
scene was full Of horror. Minute after

The Park was filled with weeping
women and anxious men until O'Clock
when the last victim was drawn from
the building. After this the police clos

and placards put on the door, "CIosed in

MEN PUBLICATIONS,

The second volume of Alexander II. Steph-
ems Constitutional View of the late War
between the States" is published by the Ma
tional Publishing Company. Mr.. Stephens
treats of the rebellion and its causes from a
southern standpoint, and as southern man
who was a part of the Confederate Govern
ment naturally would. Of course, he argues
that secession was right and that South Caro-
lima had good cause to fire upon and capture
Sumpter, and that every step taken by the
Confederacy afterwards was rightfully in self
defence. lie casts the blame. for the war up
on the North, contending that the Southern
States should have been allowed to depart in
peace. As the title implies, the work deals
principally with theories and distractions,
and is more to be regarded for that than as a
narration of the events attending the war.

States in relation to the Constitutional right
