ACCIDENT AT THE COAL PITs-TEN MEN MUIR
ED.
SCRANTON. March 20.-Thursday night Sc
riOus accident occurred at the Delaware and
Hudson Canal shaft, known as Kern's Shaft,
which is situated near Plymouth, by which 10
men were seriously though not fatally injured.
From some arrangement of the machinery the
car containing the men started down the shaft
without counterbalancing. Before it reached
the bottom the brakes were applied, but not
quite enough to stop the car although the fall
much lessened its velocity.

CHICAGO, March 20-The Tribune of to-mor-

Sheridan, enclosing copy of his report on
Col Bakers attack on the Piegan Indians to
the Commissioner on Indian Affairs. The re-
port says Col. Bakers attack was a complete

them was one of the most severe lessons the
Indians have received. 1t is to be hoped this
lesson will inspire them with some respect for
the Government. The small pox which thew had

This may strike such terror among them and
make them so detected this winter that there
may be no difficulty in making arrangements
with the nations next spring that will secure
peace in this section of the country for a year
or two at least. The General says: 81 don't

PORTLAND BAND CoNCERT.-By reference to
advertisement it will be seen that the Portland
Band are to give ball ON Friday evening next
at City Hall, on which occasion the music will
be particularly choice, and introducing great
deal that is new by the best composers 1t was
almost unnecessary for the Band to state that
fact, for on every occasion that they have given
an entertainment for their own benefit-with-
out speaking of other times-they have pre-
scented programme which was worthy of any
band in any city and executed with skill that
showed careful study and correct interpreta-
ton.
1t seems to us that our people should see to
1t that the receipts on this occasion should be a
substantial and handsome testimonial from the
citizens to body of men on whom they large
ly depend for their pleasure and amusement.
If our citizens really wish to encourage talent
and to sustain and build up band which shall
take an advanced rank among the best bands
In New England, which shall increase in num-
bers and skill as Its treasury increases in funds
which shall serve as an orchestra grand enough
to suit their IDEAS of what instrumental music
should be, without having to send to Boston
for it when an oratoro is to be produced, then
let them contribute literally to these occasion
al benefit entertainments which the Band
offers them. The Haydn Association earned
glorious reputation from the leading journals
of the country on the occasion of the Peabody
ceremonies but the Portland public were en-
titled to no credit for their success. The Port
land Band is already very excellent band, bu:
their appeals to the public have never been
heartily responded to. Other cities cherish
and nourish their home talent. Portland has
not done it yet. Now another opportunity
presents itself for Portland to redeem herself
In this matter. These facts are patent to all.
1t Is useless to attempt to disguise them. No
matter whether you wish to 60 to the Ball or
not. Take package of tickets if you have
the means, and if not take single ticket
Every little helps. Only do that little and the
Portland Band will find themselves heavier in
purse and lighter of heart on Friday night.
Lighter of heart because they will at last be-
Aeye that their efforts are appreciated by their
fellow-citizens.

Correspondence Between Gov. Walker
and Gen. CANDY.

RICHMOND, March 19.-Gov. Walker to-day
addressed letter to Gen. Candy. After stat
ing the fact that the military had interfered to
prevent the Mayor of the city, qualified &C.
cording to law, from performing the duties of
his office, in the seeming intention of enabling
mere pretender to that Office to discharge its
duties he asserts that this action was taken
without any request of the Legislature or other
civil authority Of the State, and asks by what
law or authority Gen. Candy does this. Gen.
aid the contestant but only to prevent breach
of peace, and bis authority for such action is
from the President and Secretary of War and
precedents which he says he has cited to the
Governor before His duty, he thinks, until
matters are adjusted law, is to interfere and
preserve the public peace.
ALL QUIET sUNDAY-FURTHER CORRESPOND
RICHMOND, March 20.-All quiet tonight.
Mayor Elison's police force are in possession
of the city. Mayor Cahoon's force of forty men
large crowd of blacks have been gathered all
day. Gov. Walker sent a reply to Gen. Can
by's letter, in which the Governor quotes all
the acts of Congress on the subject to show
that Gen. Candy had no show of authority for
interfering in municipal affairs unless called
upon by the Legislature or State authorities,
nor has he any authority in the orders issued
by the President or Secretary of War. He
says it is clear from the letter written by Gen,
Candy to Mayor Cahoon on the 18th that Gen,
Candy had determined to protect Cahoon in
exercising the functions of an Office which un-
der the laws of the state he did not and could
not hold. Walker says that as the chief exec
utive of the State, he will its laws faithful
ly enforced, and when he finds the powers of
the State inadequate he will call in the aid of
others. He contends that in q municipal diff
ference in New York. neither Gen. Candy nor
any military officer would have interfered, nor
should it be done in Virginia; State that
stands on the same footing in the Union with
any other.
A letter from Mayor Ellison states that Gen.
Candy on the night of the 18th inst. said he
would get CahoOn's friends to advise him to
withdraw his men from the station houses and
Ellison should discharge his special police and
take possession. The next day Gen. Candy
himself took possession.
RIOT, BLooDsHED AND MURDER.
Midnight.-A dense crowd of blacks has
been standing around CahO0n's HEADQUARTERS
at the third station house. They so blocked up
the street that tonight Mayor Ellison de-
termined to clear them away, and at II O clock
he sent force of men there who proceeded to
clear Jefferson street, and they were fired up
on by the negroes. Richard Bush, a member
Of the special force, was instantly killed, and
Capt. William Know was wounded. The Eli
son police then fred on the crowd, who after
resisting the attack were driven of. The ne
groes carried off their dead and wounded, if
there were any, with them. The police sue
all is quiet. Bush's body was taken to the
