KENTUCKY.
A Glorious Democratic Triumph ReproOf
to the New Departures.
Leslie Elected by $4,000 Majority-The
Largest Vote Ever PoIIed in Kentucky.

Special to APPEAL
LOUISVILLE, KY, August lO.-Om-
cial returns received at the Ledger
Office, from thirty-nine counties, show
that Leslie is receiving not only the
largest Democratic vote ever polled in
Kentucky, but absolutely the largest
vote ever polled for any man of any
party in the State. His vote in these
counties exceeds by 904 the vote cast
for Seymour in the same counties in
1868, and exceeds the vote cast for
Stevenson that year in the same
counties by 2l54. The vote
cast for the Democratic Congressional
ticket in those counties last Novem-
Der, when the negro vote was first
pOlled at a general election, was only
1905 for Leslie. At the late election
these counties gave 55, 1884 votes, a gain
OF 1879. The aggregate Democratic
majority in 1870 was 32,2l4. Leslie's
majorities in 80 counties exceed those
OF 1870 by 1861 votes. His majority
will reach $1,000. Unofficial reports
from about half the counties of the
State show, that while Harlan has
polled a heavy negro vote, there has
been a heavy detection OF white men
from the Radical party; and if the
whole Democratic vote had been
polled it would have reached at least
40 600.

RAILROAD MURDER.
A Train PreCipitated Through a Bridge.
Several Lives LOSt--The Train
and Wreck,

BANGOR, Me, August 1O.-As the
Maine Central railway train was en-
tering the city tonight the bridge
across the Hampden road gave way,
causing a general smash up, and kill
ing enc person outright and iniuring
thirty, more or less seriously. The
engine and a portion of the express
and mail a had got across the bridge
when the structure went down. The
balance Of the train, consisting of the
smoking car, three passenger cars and
one Pullman palace car, was tumbled
into the streets of the city. The
smoking al was plunged a distance
of twenty feet into the streets, follow
ed by two passenger cars, and all three
were completely torn to pieces. The
third passenger a was plunged down
the abyss, striking upon the forward
end, crushing it in, while the rear one
was suspended at an angle of forty
five degrees by the broken timbers
and abutments. The Pullman palace
car remained upon the track, being
but slightly damaged by contact with
the preceding cars, though none of its
passengers were in any way injured.

while standing at his post on the front
platform of the third passenger car.
The train being behind time was
running at a great rate OF speed to
make up, and the loss of life would
have been fearful but for the small
number of passengers. Many of the
passengers were dugOut, unhurt, from
the mass of debris to which the train
had been reduced. The cause of the
accident was the decayed condition of
the bridge and failuret to replace the old
timber, on which work began today.
The whole community is discussing
the accident and its causes, and will
demand a searching investigation of
the circumstances. Up TO midnight

IMPORTANT TO BANKERS.
The Question of the Tax of Bank Shares
Above Their Par and at Their
Market Value,

CHICAGO, August 10.-Judge Blodg-
EFT, of the United States Cilcuit Court,
in a case of the consolidation by thir-
teen banks against the City Collector,
says that shares of the national banks
cannot be assessed at a higher Valua-
ton than par value thereof as that
tax is in nature royalty of upon de-
nOminatiOnal value of each share
respectively. If a share could be as
sesssd at any other value that would
involve an ascertainment on the ac-
tual property of the bank and a
deduction therefrOm of so much
thereof as is invested in United States
bonds. The Supreme Court of the
United States has decided that it can
not be done, for the reason that the
tax upon a share was intended to be
upon the new use, to which the CAPT
taiist put his bonds by embanking
them in a national bank. He cOnsid-
cred it, therefore, in this light that a
tax could be levied only upon the
nominal value of each share, whether
the share was actually more or less
than par. The court also held that
the State law of 1867, providing for
the taxation of bank shares to be
wholly void, because in the contra
ventiOn of the State constitution, in
that it provides for the taxing of
shareholders in taxing districts where
a bank is located instead
of the district Of shareholders resi-
dence, the taxing power can only be
exercised upon persons OF property
within the Jurisdiction. Stock cannot
be taxed on account of its locality,
and any tax imposed upon it must Of
necessity be confined to the person Of
the owner. So far as the law OF June,
1867, directs assessments Of shares
owned by residents of a city, who re
side outside of the county, city, town or
district in which the bank is located, is
in conflict with the constitutional
provision, and therefore void; being
void and imperative to this extent.
II is also so Is to owners of shares
who reside in the same place where
the bank is located, because the rules
of uniformity would be violated in
taxing them and not others. There
being, then, no valid law in force in
this State by which shares of stock in
the National banks belonging to resi-.
dents OF the State can be taxed, share
owners by nOn-reSidents cannot be
taxed, because such a regulation would
be in conflict with the provision of the
Federal Constitution, providing that
the citizens of each State shall be
entitled to all the privileges and inn
munities of citizens of the several
States,

The warmoth Republicans Of Louisiana.

The WarmOth Republicans Of Louisiana.
NEW ORLEANS, August l0.-The
Warmoth wing of the Republican
Convention met in Turner's Hall to-
day at noon. One hundred delegates
answered to the roll. The Congress
siOnal Committee was announced and
is the same a. last year. The ResOlu-
ton Committee reported resolutions
indOrsing the administration of War
moth and the faithful execution of
the constitutional provisions for the
education of the children without dis
tinctiOn of color. They condemn the
appropriations to individual enter
prfses, urge the General Assembly
to reduce its expenses, denounce the
acts OF the CustOm-hOuse party
in indeavOring to exclude, by force Of
arms, recognized delegates to the Re-
publican Convention, and other I'M
lawful acts, and expressing the hope
that these acts did not command Pres
ident Grants approval, indOrsing his
administration, requesting the reno
val Of the custOm-hOuse officers and
the appointment of true Republicans.
When it is ascertained that the
President Endorses the acts OF the GUS
tom-house officials, the Convention
not only then Withdraws its support
from, but repudiates and condemns
him. In conclusion the resolutions
recommend that the President of the
Convention appoint twenty citizens
to visit Washington and petition for
the removal Of those named.
Mr.. Heron's resolution requesting
the United States Senators of the West
to vote against the authority given to
custom-house officers, Wal adopted.
This closed the business of the Con-
vention.
Governor WarmOth was then in
Vited to deliver an address, and CON-
piled.
The city press denounce the action
of the custom-house officials for sus-
pending mercantile business yester-
day, and characterize it as a gross
outrage.
To-day the Federal troops were
removed, and business was transacted
as usual at the custOm-hOuse.
