Speech of President Thiers,


LONDON, June 21.--The speech delivered by
President Theirs in the French Assembly yester-
dav denounced the policy of Napoleon as alb
surd, and the real cause of the disasters which
have befallen France. The course pursued by
Gambetta was excusable, though peace ought to
have been made with Germany when success
on the part of the Army of the Loire became
hopeless. 'It was" said Theirs, necessary to
pay the
German Indemnity
quickly. Still he was not in favor of levying
income tax or the re-establishment of measures
of a prohibitory character, but would simply
re-establsh few taxes which will provide the
money necessary to meet the demands upon the
country" 'France," concluded the President,
SHOULD and will derive many advantages from
her misfortunes."

LAWRENCE, June 6-To the Editors OF the Demo
cratic StdnddTG-Luring conversation with the
late /. Miles Ruth, few days before his death, he
made some statements concerning his wifes titled
ancestors, their estates, etc. that have not been
alluded TO in print, and which, in connection with
the late tragic event. may be OF interest to the pub
lie. He stated that the death OF the Baron de
Sprangh OF Strasbourg, maternal grandfather OF
MIS- Ruth, left the estates crippled or deformed
sister, and upon her death, should she leave no
issue, they would descend to Mrs. Ruths mother,
and through her to Mrs. Ruth. This sister never
married, and since the commencement OF the
ceiVed Of beS death AS Mrs RTths mother pre- r-
posed to renquish all her claims in favor OF Mrs.
Ruth, 1t left her sole heiress to estates valued at
the title OF Baroness de SpraDgh.
Mr.. Ruth spoke OF sheir intention TO lay claim TO
the title and estates upon the settlement OF the diff

COLLISION ON THE NEW YORK CEN.
TRIAL RAILROAD.

Criminal RecIkIessness of an Engineer
Several Persons Injured, One Danger
Ously.
ROCHESTER,, June 20.-A collision occurred
on the Central Railroad, at Fairport station, 10
miles east of this city, at 80 o'clock this morn
ing between an accommodation freight and
passenger train bound west and freight train
going in the same direction. The freight train
should have preceded the accommodation train
from Syracuse, but was three hours behind
time. The latter left Syracuse on time, and
was on time at Fairport. AT the time of
the accident the passengers train stood
at the station, and the engineer was engaged in
taking in water from the tank, when an alarm
was given by a switchman that the freight train
was coming around a sharp curve just east of
the station. The conductor, L. s. Hyser, ordered
the engineer to start, which was obeyed in
stantly but too late to prevent a collision. The
freight engine struck the rear passenger car In
which were ten passengers, and lifted 1t from
the track, leaving IL, and breaking the next
two cars. The third car of the freight
train mounted she second at right angles
with it and was going at such a
rate of speed that striking the station wood
shed, 1t swept away the facing caves and lower
portion of the roof of the WOod-shed for its
entire length, 800 feet, until 1t came in contact
with the brick water-tank at the west end of the
shed, which 1t completely demolished. Here
the wreck became general, the cars piling upon
each other in confusion, blocking the tracks and
delaying trains for several hours,

Both at the banks and on the street there Is
apparently an increased demand for accommo-
dations though the improvement is not of a
character to justify an advance in rates, which
continue substantially the same as previously
quoted. There is an abundance of money
offered both on call and time contracts, the
rates being from to 5 per cent. on the former
and 519 to 619 per cent. on the latter, with
some few transactions reported on exceptionally
good paper at 5 per cent.
Gold is quiet and steady, but fraction lower,
ranging from 1l2H@112aS, closing at the latter.
Government bonds are in good demand, and
nearly the entire list is higher.
At the Stock Board there has been a good deal
of excitement, and prices, following the lead of
New York, have suffered serious break. The
sales were large in anticipation of a further de-
cline, and now that the panic has taken posses
sion, there is no knowing where it will end.

DYING.
At balf-past his pulse ceased. Somatic
death had taken place probably long before.
His friends were admitted to his bedside. His
law partner, his nephews John NJ. Sprigg aud
James L. Vallandigham had arrived. General
Durbn Ward and Judge Smith came. Charlie
sat by his side and looked in his face. Morning
came, heralded by the sweet, careless song of

Only few moments before his death he asked
for Ice, and then for more opiates. His breath
ing grew hard and painful-a succession of
suppressed and mastered groans. At quarter
before 10 o'clock death had his victim.
In the last moments the muscles of the face
were expressive, some say of pain, but they
were not contorted. All these terrible twelve
hours he uttered no complaint, no moan, never
appeared in the least discomposed.

Between 12 and O'clock when an ashy pale
ness had taken the place of the usual rubyness
on his cheeks, when he had lain almost silent
and with closed eyes for nearly two hours, when
his breathing was becoming ominous and his
pulse was counting off his life at fearfully ac-
CELEBRATED speed, the doctors felt anxious lest
they might not be doing their duty in withhold
ing from him knowledge of his real situation

occasion to break the intelligence TO him. Mr.

of the room where death had been for four
hours. He spoke first to the surgeons then
stepped briskly to the bedside, exchanged few
words with Mr.. Vallandigham, who asked in a
tone that could scarcely be heard, how he came
The doctor answered, "In a buggy, and [
