As the Maine Central Railway train
was entering Bangor on the night of
August 10th, the bridge across the
Hampden road gave way, causing a
general smash-up and killing one per-
son outright and injuring thirty others
more or less seriously. The engine
and portion of the mail and express
car had got across the bridge when
the structure went down. The balance
of the train, consisting of smoking
car, three passenger ears and one Pull
man car, was turned into the streets
Of the city. The smoking car was
plunged distance of twenty feet into
the streets, followed by two of the pas
Senger cars, and all three were COM
pletely torn to pieces. The third pas
senger car was plunged down an abyss,
striking upon the forward end and
crushing it in. While the rear was
suspended at an angle of 45 degrees
by the broken timbers and abutments.
the Pullman Palace Car remained upon
the track, being but slightly damaged
by contact with the preceding car.
Though none of its passengers were in
any way injured, VIM. Percival, brake
man, was killed while standing at his
post on the front platform. This pas
senger car train being behind time, was
running at great rate of speed to make
up lost time. Loss of life would have
been fearful but for the small number
of passengers Many passengers were
dug out uninjured from the mass of de-
bris to which the train had been re-
duced. The cause Of the accident is
due to the decayed condition Of the
bridge. The whole community is dis
cusslng the accident and its causes. and
viii demand most searching investi-
CATION Of the circumstance. Up to
midnight the injured were doing well.
Thomas Gallagher, boiler maker. of
East Boston, died from his injuries.
When the accident became known the
citizens hurried 10 the scene Of the
disaster and rendered to the injured
every possible assistance.

following somewhat pertinent Inquiries
and suggestions, which are respectfully

''Will you be kind enough to ask the
following questions of Colonel VIM.
M'Candless, as he is travelling through
the country begging the votes of the
soldiers, on the ground that he served
during the war in the Pennsylvania
Reserves
''Did you, Colonel M'Candless, vote
for the soldier, S. I. Owen, for Re
corder of Deeds of Philadelphia?
"Did you vote Cor General John F..
Hartranft for Auditor General?
"Did you vote for General John w.
Gcary for Governor?
"Did you vote for U. S. Grant?
"All these soldiers ran against we'll

posed the war; men who, when you
were in the field, with the elbow-touch
when deaths brief pang was quickest,
styled you and the rest of the soldiers

and murderers : who said we had no
right to murder cur dear Southern
brethren; who said we had no right
to coerce the South;' who said we
had no right to save the nations life.'
''If the post of honor was the pri-

In 1861 the Democratic party was
in power, and the Democratic Presi-
dent said, that he had no power to CO.
cree a State, or suppress a rebellion
against the Union. The Republican
party took the reins of government and
found'power to suppress the rebellion,
and coerce a State. And nov this
same Democratic party wants to climb
upon and occupy the same platform
with the Republican party.

TIE Late Elections,

&c Ies-o GiSc-iJIS,
Elections have been hell in'Nortl
Carolina and Kentucky-the former
on Thursday, the 81 day Of August,
and the latter on Monday, the 9TH day
of August-terminating in a favorable
result for the Republican party.
In North Carolina, the contest was
in reference to Constitutional Con-
vention. The Democrats having ma
jority in the last Legislature, passed a
law, submitting to the people the ques-
tion of calling a convention to amend
the Constitution of the State, notwith-
standing the Constitution adopted in
1868 expressly forbid the calling of a
convention for its alteration or amend
ment for a period of ten years, and
then only with the consent of the leg
islature. Contrary to the we'll laid
plans of the party in power, the Re
publicans have carried the State and
defeated the convention scheme by
from 10000 to 10000 majority. In
this, no doubt, they were aided by
many Democrats, who regarded the
question as revolutionary, and fraught
with mischief-that it would again re-
open the troubles in the State, unset
tie wise provisions of the fundamen-
tai law, and again invoke the interfer-
encc of the Federal authorities. To
avoid all this, the popular verdict just
given is emincntly wise and proper.
In Kentucky, the election was for
Governor and other State officers,
which resulted in favor of the Demo
cratic candidates, as usual, but by a
greatly reduced majority. In 1868,
the Democracy carried the State by
5000 majority. This year, the re-
turns received thus far indicate that
their majority will be only about 30,-
O0o-be;ng a Republican gain of near
ly $4,000. y little more earnest and
determined work, and Kentucky will
take her place in the GRANT line in
1872. The ''new departure" is work
ing well only let US have little more
of it; it suits us exactly.
1t may not be inappropriate to re-
mark, that the vote in North Carolina
indicates that the people of that State
are better content with the carpet
baggers, and "carpet-baggers' consti-
tuition, than they are with the Demo
cratic Ku-Klux and their heIlish mid
night murders and assassinations. In
kentucay, too, the people are awaken
ing to the horrors of the Ku-Klux an
archy that has pervaded that State so
extensively Of late. The outragcs so
prevalent in these two States. as well
as in other Southern States, and the
recent dcmoniacal riot in New York.
are opening the eyes Of the people oy-
crywhere to the lawless and revolution
ary tendencies of the Democratic lead
ers, and the Democratic organization.
The only safety to our free institutions
and the life and property of our citi-
zens, depends upon the success and
continuance in power of the Republi-
can party. Let the people remember
these truths.

if continued, will alone bring defeat.

the virtue of frankness irrespective of
its political opinions, thus characterize
the New Departure Programme:
II there is not 'dodging' in all this. we
have never encountered that article in our
whole political life. Just look at it. You
departurists are dead against the amend
neuts. So are we. You say you won't on
pose them by violence. So do we. You
hold that they are in so far actual parts of
the Constitution rs to bc obeyed. for the
present. So do we. Now where do we diff
fer? In this that neither now nor hereaf-
ter, before or after the election, will we
cease to believe and declare hat these amend
meRts are the joint products Of force and
fraud, TO be increasingly warred upon, and
exilrpatcd by direct attack. and not by the
palliative of construction - while vou de-
departuris;s propose to hush up the wfole
matter, or II you speak it only to make the
Radicals believe that acquiesccnce in them,
as parts OF the Constitution, is for all time.
Now either the Departure" cheats the
radicals or it cheats the friends of restor
ed, purified Constitution, and we really have
not yet made mp our mind which. The
departure has III the earmarks of dodge.

much explanation it is iorkcd in tongue,
