DANGER IN AN EMPTY NTrRo.GLYCE.
RENE CAN.-rhe Hartford Past mentions
u singular accident that occurred in Had
dam, Saturday, Nathaniel Tyler found a
tin can in the road, Giving 1t to his boys,
he told them they had better unsolder the
cap. This they proceeded to do. Everitt,
aged 10 years, took the can between his
legs as hG sat upon the floor, and applied
the hot iron to II, walter, aged IL, look
ing on,) when u terrible explosion fol.
lowed. Tho poor boy had the flesh torn
of the lower part OF his body and limbs,
and II severe scalp wound his arms were
also badly manglCd md one OF his eyes
was torn out. He cannot probably sur.
viVe. Walter was very badly injured.
The explosion blew the windows out Of
the house and lifted the floor over tho
room where the explosion took place. Tie
can WIS one that had contained nitro.gly'
ccrinc, but was empty, md had been
thrown away by some one OF the cbntrac.
tors on the Valley Railroad, Of course
there was but very minute quantity left
in 1t, but enough TO cause II grcat deal OF
damage and probable loss of life.

by II wag that Thompson liked to do all

AN INTERESTING DECIsIoN.-We print
to-day an article from Wheeling paper
concerning recent decision OF the Court
of Appeals of West Virginia, which de-
cislon will prove to be OF interest In Viz
ginia for the reason that the Constitution
Of this State contains n provision similar
to the one in the Constitution Of West
Virginia, which has thus received curlal
construction. Article X, section II, Of
the Constitution of Virginia, requires
that the majority OF the members elect
cd" to'cach House Of the General Assem-
bly, shall be necessary to give validity To
certain laws. This provision, however,
Is construed by tho West Virginia Court
of Appeals to mean Just what 1t does not
mean lin our oplnlon).-RichmOnd Dis

sanction of the chief local official, follow
ed by the attack OF the natives upon the
boats which, occasioned the more recent
operations fully detailed in the Tunes Of
Yesterday. An explanation and an apollo
Nv were demanded for the insult TO our
flag, and neither being forthcoming, after
nm interval of ten days, the gallant and
successful attack upon the COTean forts
was made with view Of vindicating the
power which had been impudently de
lied by the native officials. Having taken
about hundred lives for each one of our
sailors and marines either killed OF
wounded, the five ships of the squadron
returned TO Shanghai, and treaty WIN
the Coreans Is Il good deal farther oul o.
reach than ever.
THE EXPEDITION A BLUNDER AND
FAILURE,
From the New York Post -,
The expedition has been an utter lall
ure. 1t has moi merely wasted tue money
and the lives spent in 1t, but has Deslues
seriously injured the cause II was sent u
nromots. Instead Of opening c0mmunlca
iion with the COrcans, II has emblttered
their preiudices against all intercourse
with rs, and perhaps postponed for q long
time every hope that civilization will OBJ
lain A ioOlhold among them.
There Is already Clamor from the flee
for reinlorCements, and mIny Americans
here, Jealous for the honor Of our flag
wish to see Commodore Rodgers lOrct
made large enough TO enable him to sub
due the country. But why not let l
alOney Every one sees that II would bI
better tor the COreans and for US It w
had not approached them at all. Wepu
ourselves in the wrong at once when w
sent to them u heavily armed fleet to de
mand treaty. This was menace; 1t wa
itself an attempt To COeTcc them by a dis
play OF force into an intercourse which the
were unwilling 10 accept. lfthey choose 4
isolate themselves entirely from the world
they have n right 10 do so. Our owl
right to regulate our commerce, to clOsI
our ports at pleasure, and TO control then
at all times, is not more clear than tina
Of the COrGans to lay q permanent embar
go on all shipping. If they will hav'
nothing to do with us, we may lose some
thing by their reserve, and they will sure
ly lose more by it; but We may not lorc'
them to do even what we judge to be fo
their good.
We trust that this Is the last attempt o
our government to do diplomatic work a
the East ut the cannon's mouth; the las
time our Christian civilization shall up
pear in arms before heather and barbar
ians, to extor from them grants, which
they have right to withhold. Even thu
pretext OF securing protection for GU
sailors who may possibly be shipwrecket
hereafter upon the COrGan shores fails Il
Justify such expeditions. 1t Is now pain
FULLY evident that If any such uniOrtu
mates are cast away on the Corea, the.
will fare tho worse for what has beef
done in their behalf; while n peaceful
visit from an ambassador alone, with onl
force enough To protect him from ordl
nary dangers, would have been far NOR
likely to succeed, were success possible.
