Railroad Accidents.

NEWARK, N. j., July Sat about
eight o'clock this forenoon. the 7:45
train FROM New York, and the sos
train from Newark, sighted each 9th
er then dashed along at full speed.+7
No whistles we're blown, and without
any diminution in impetus they ap-
preached the switch at Rrifps farm
which the railroad runs through. J. A
gravel train had last been switched off
there. The switch had. not been re-
placed, and the trains met each. other
Immediately at the junction. The N.
Y. train engine run off the up track
on to the down track, and cut right
into it visa Wis, and, jumping from
the tracks, bounded down the EN-
bankment into the ditch, dragging
with it the three foremost cars. The
smoking car of the down train was
thrown upon the tender Of the en-
CINE, and the first passenger car be-
hind telescoped into it for full fifteen
feet. In a few moments Subsequent
to the calamity the terrible fact BE-
came apparent that the cars and ca,
CINE were on fire. The f1ames4sprehd
rapidly, and soon enveloped everything
within reach. The greatest alarm and
terror prevailed among the passengers,
ladies screamed and men became
frightened and terror stricken and
rushed to the doors, while others threw
baskets, bundles, &c, and in some
instances small children, from the
windows. The terror thus created
was augmented by a report that scores
of human beings were in the burning
carriages, unable to effect their escape.
A fire alarm was rung, and the fire
men were on the. scene promptly to
extinguish the flames. The scene Of
the disaster is a fearful sight. For.
one hundred and fifty feet the track
is lined with the debris of DESTROYED
cars. Five engines and a hundred
men are working clearing away the
rubbish. Hundreds of people con.
gregated at the scene. One man
jumped out of the window at the mo-
ment Of the accident, and thus saved
himself. All the killed were employees
OF the road. Search is now being
made for more bodies. The distance
from Newark to the scene of disaster
is one mile and a half. The general
impression was that the accident was
the result of criminal negligence on
the part Of employees of the road
All travel is suspended on the road.
The following is a list Of the killed:
George Hill, engineer, roasted UNI.
der the engine.
Frank Herman, engineer, horribly
mangled, and died in ten minutes.

The Folly in Utah.

The Mormons desired to celebrate
the Fourth of July with a military
parade under Gen. d. Fl. Wells, a
prominent Mormon, who has COM
manded this militia for the past six
teen years. No seditious purpose
whatever appears to have been con-
nected with the proposed parade.
The Acting Governor of Utah is
George A. Black, a young man about
twenty-five years old, His informa.
ton is limited, and his understanding
is in proportion. He went out to
Utah a. Secretary to the late Gov.
Wilson Shafer, and became Acting
Governor after his death. His APP
pointment is due entirely to the Rev.
J. P. Newman of Washington, who
was formerly connected with the
Freedman's Bureau in New Orleans,
and has lately been e~lectioneering tor
Senator Harlan in Iowa This man
Black seems to have fallen naturally
into the hands of the spectators who
expect to make money by fomenting
trouble in Utah.
When Black heard of the proposed
parade in honor of the Fourth of Jul
ly, he forbade it, on the ground that
Wells was not legally the commander
of the Mormon militia. This excited
a ferment. General De Trobriand,
who commands the United States for
ces in Utah, supported the action of
the Governor, as it was his duty to
do; and the result was he marched
his troops into Salt Lake City with
artillery and music, and rather than
be fired upon the Mornons gave up
the plan Of celebrating the Fourth OF
July.
If common sense was to be expected
from the present Administration, we
should look for the instant removal OF
Acting Governor Black He is too
silly to be intrusted with power in a
place where tact and judgment are SO
constantly required. His folly in this
transaction is something almost incon-
ceivabIe. 1t has kindled anew the
dying fire of Mormon fanaticism, and
given Brigham Young and his i'm
posture a new lease on authority
Il harm was there in a Mormon
parade on the Fourth OF July? Had
they not a right to assemble in uni
form and under arms that day? Sup
pose there was some legal imperfec-
ton in the commissions of their Off.
GERS, or that they had no commissions
at all /; was that a reason for an OPP
pressive ard unnecessary prohibition
of their parade?

mons, and there is no doubt that if

hood would soon have come to an end;

Some days since, the Herald gave
some reasons why the Republican plat
form was deficient as a campaign doc
ument. We noted carefully, the items
mentioned. and to our surprise, found
nothing concerning the San Domingo
swindle! It is notorious that the Re
publican platform endorses Grant,
San Domingo and all, without excep-
ton or qualification! tits equally Ger
tain that the zeal of the President for
the annexation of that Island of frogs,
snakes, lizards, alligaters, semi civiliz-
ed negroes and yellow fever, is unabat-
ed (; and if the Republicans succeed in
carrying Ohio this fall, he will claim
that the Republican delegation from
this State is instructed, by that result,
to vote for the annexation OF that Is
land. Has the Herald "gulped" San
Domingo with a wry facet" Is there
a corner lot in view, or has the job
grown less obnoxious since the Wade
men forced that Platform upon the
Republican party of Ohio?

The Cleveland Plain Dealer O

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Of the
9th inst, says: There arrived from
Detroit to-day, on the steamer r N.
Rice, a girl of sixteen years, who came
here with a relative employed on the
boat. Alter reaching the wharf she
hid herself from her cousin, and,
watching her opportunity, slyly left
the boat, hailed a hackman and told
him she wished to 60 to a house of i'll
fame. He said he would take her to
one, and she seated herself within the
carriage But the driver had anoth-
er parpose, and instead of taking her
to a den of iniquity he drove to police
headquarters and gave the girl, in
charge of Superintendent Schmitt.-
The latter talked seriously with the
girl until she at length said she was
willing to go home to her parents, who
r said to be respectable people
Thereupon Mr.. Schmitt sent word to
the cousin of the girl in order that he
might see her safely to her home
The name of the hackman who acted
in so praiseworthy a manner is Peter
Fink.

How The Money Goes.

to the Cincinnati Chronicle, bearing
date July eth, says;
Gas near as can he ascertained, the
cost of advertising the new loan, to

not include commissions. The expen-
ses of Assistant Secretary Richardson's

$4,000 to defray the expenses of his

in legal currency, or in other words, in

not satisfied with the original contract,
but insisted that the bonds should be

pose, funding bills were passed and

1.-THE Ashland States and Union loud
ly refuses to take any ''new de-
partures." 1t bitterly denounces the

the same with this"
eff the Court understand herself,
and she think she do" the allegation
that we gagged" at Vallandigham's
new departure, but at last gulped it
with a wry face, is wholly untrue, If
the Herald infers it from the fact that
we protested against casting lots upon
the garments of Vallandigham as to
the effect his death would have upon
the campaign, the inference is errone-
ous. When a man dies, we think
charity requires that his errors should
be entombed also. We refuse to kiss
the hands of our enemies that "thrift
may follow fawning." We detest all
hyPocrites. Being opposed, as the
Herald is, o. to the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments, we
know it would be intensely notifying
to it to see us stultifying ourself by
endorsing the new departure. Don't
worry, friend Benedict, we are safe on
all such issnes.

A Vile Misrepresentation.

The hate of Republican editors to
ward those officers of the Army wht
declined to follow the lead of Grant
and his venal crew, crops out on al
occasions. The Oberlin Me,0s says.
Our Democratic friends have a very
unhappy faculty in selecting military
heroes for their leaders
General Morgan cowardly surren-
dered Cumberland Gap, when he coult
have successfully defended it.
If history can be relied upon, the
foregoing statement is erroneous, if not
malicious. The fact was, the North
ern force placed in the Gap, under
the command Of General George w.
Morgan, was confronted by a large
confederate force, while Gen. Kirby
Smith, with John Morgan and his
cavalry, was in their rear watching
every movement. Gen. Morgan was
as e~fectually imprisoned as if his for
ces had been in Libby. His army
was suffering for want of provisions,
and all sources of supply were cut off.
In fact, his command was compelled
to subsist on unripe corn, which was
the occasion of disease. To have held
the Gap under the circumstances,
would have been as wise as to hold
any other hole in the ground. His
surrender was only a question of time.
Kirby Smith knew this, and boosted
that he would not loose his men in a
struggle to expel the Northern forces.
While Kirby Smith was exulting over
the anticipated starvation and surren-
der of Morgan's force, Gen. Buell. fell
back from Tennessee to the neighbor
hood of Lexington, KY and thus the
rear of Kirby Smith was endangered
and that General compelled to fall
back from his position in rear of the
Gap. This opened up a passage for
the starved forces of Gen. George W.
Morgan, who assumed the response
bility and Ietreated from the useless
possession of the Gap. He .evinced
the utmost skill and the promptness of
a good officer, when he thus extrica-
ted his command from the grasp of
the enemy. All his officers join in
this opinion. If there is any evidence
of cowardice in this, we fail to see it.
Gen. Morgan has always conducted
himself like a gentleman. Upon the
field of battle he evinced true cour.
age, and an oficerlike bearing. He
has always been esteemed by his men
for his high qualities as an officer
The reiteration by the NeDs, of the
old SANDER about the surrender of the
Gap, goes to show how hard Repub-
lican editors are pressed for something
to assert against Democrats. We
may be mistaken, but we are of the
opinion, the writer of the foregoing
squib in the Me,cs, is ignorant of the
facts, or wilfully misrepresents that
transaction. General Morgan will
survive all such attacks.
