A sad accident occurred within
the city limits Of Greencastle, Put
nam county, Monday evening last,
between five and six o'clock. AS
tho train on the Louisville, New
Albany, and Chicago Railroad, in
charge of Conductor Bentley, was
passin g through town, . boy Was
seen walking along the track on
the ties, ahead of the engine. The
engineer slowed down and blew his
whistle violently, but the boy paid
no attention to the warning, al
though he could easily have got
out Of the way. In the meantime
the train got SO near the boy he
was struck by the engine, thrown
off into the ditch and killed. The
engine was backed down and the
remains were taken up by the EN-
ployees of the train and conveyed
to the residence Of its friends. He
was . deaf and dumb boy named
Strange, and his age was twelve
years. No blame could attach to
the railroad company.

difficulties to overcome. John
Quincy Adams started in o family

be proud of her member, and to
my mind, the great misfortune is,
that Congress is not full of such

"The sTyner bilp is to have the Government

The Philadelphia colIectorship.

The appointment Of Mr.. Seth 1.
Comfy as collector of the port of
Philadelphia sets at rest In q most
fitting msnner the various sur
misses which have gained publicity
from time to time. Although Mr..
Comfy had been in no manner a
personal applicant for the posi-
tion, it has been known for some
days past that the President had
had his name under favorable con.
sideration, and the announcement,
therefore is not altogether sur
prise. Of the propriety Of the
choice we cannot speak too warm
~, and we doubt if the selection OF
any other name could have met
with more general favor. As q
merchant and citizen, Mr.. Comfy
holds the highest rank for integri
ty and probity so that we may
confidently look for such an ad-
ministration of public affairs AZ will
reflect credit upon himself. upon
the city and upon the Republican
party, of which he is a staunch
and On uncomprising member.
Thoroughly versed in the mer-
chantile wants of Philadelphia, and
ode Of the ardent advocates Of
every recent measure that has
tended to the fostering of our
prosperity, our new collector will
take his seat determined to bend
every energy to the advance
ment OF our commercial supremacy
and to the proper and conscicn-
tious discharge Of his duties to
the government Philadelphia

Mr.. EDIToR.-
= How goes the battle in the 4th
for the next April nomina-
tionf Will Republicans have the
good sense toreturn Judge WILSON,
or will they be seducsd by the dis
turbing, restless disorganizers. to
try some new experiment 2 1 find
Indianians at the Capital almost
unanimous, for the return Of Judge
Wilson for . second term. His
course of conduct, since he enter
ed Congress, has proved him one
of the most useful Members from
;our State. Pure and exemplary
in morals, courteous and pleasing
in address, ardent and constant in
his efforts to harmonize and sus-
tain the Republican Party he has
now the confidence and respect of
all the Hoosiers about the National
Capital. He is no fanatic and will
not be likely to destroy all his in
fuence in Congress by the vain
! pursuit Of any impracticable idea.
If any of his friends are rejected
a1d positions given to the friends
of others, he will neither quit the
Party nor make war on the Ad-
ministration like Sumner, Shmrz
and Trumbull, but cheerfully yields
his personal preferences to the
| higher claims Of public good. In
the business of Legislation the
fourth district has member emf
nently practical, popular and sue
cessful. The time that other mem
bers of. Congress spend in rre-
pairing long speeches, Judge WILL
SON spends at work for the country
and his constituents.
Tell the Republicans that If they
want o man to bore the country and
Congress with long, buncombe
speeches, pack conventions and
manipulate nominating elections
that Wilson will not suit them
For such work Carl Schurz OF
some of his disciples would be
very much preferable. On the
other hand II they want man
who will attend promptly and
faithfully to the Public business oi
the country, then Judge Wilson il
the man. Isec him daily toilinq
at work on Committees in the
House or in the interest of his
home constituents, in forwarding
claims for Pensions for the RELIEF
Of widows and needy soldiers
His public services are in this re :
spect invaluable and should be ap-
preciated above all noise and vain
demonstrations. For practical
good he is worth q Regiment ol
wire-working, new-Departure
speechmaking politicians. If the
Republican Party had none but
such men as Judge Wilson in place
We would to-day be not only above
suspicion but absolutely invincihle
The great curse of our party i.
an ambitious, noisy and unscrupul
ous leader. and the greatest wan,
is quiet, honest, upright christair
imen in Office. Then We would need
no new departures, nor Civil Ser
vice Reform, but the service wouli
everywhere be honored, the coun.
try safe, and the Republican Party
would go from victory to victory
until Ku Klux Democracy, with al
its kindred heresies will be buried

To the Republicans of Wayne Co.
I believe there is NO man how
ever Indifferent about the inserests
of his country, who will not con-
fess, that the situation to which
We are now reduced, justifies the
most melancholy apprehension,
and calls for the exertion Of mod
GRAFTON, and of whatever wisdom
is left among US. The same spirit
which violated the country in 1867
now prevades the Republican party
and threatens its disruption. As
we are Americans. citizens of one
common country, the least
considerable among Us has an in>
terest equal to the greatest in the
land, and I believe it to be not
only his right but his duty to con-
tribute to the interests of that
party, which he believes to be in
the right. The party which has
made us all We are to-day, the
party which compelled the world
to acknowledge every man NO
BLEMAN who became an American
citizen, and proud Of the name Of
American.
All who have heretofore acted
with the Republican party, should
now generously support tire men
who have been selected by the
Republican State Convention. It is
a common cause in which we are
all interested, and in which ali. true
Republicans should be engaged.
The man who deserts 1t at this
crisis, is an enemy to the party be
attempts to represents; and what
I think Of infinitely more impor-
lance, q traitor to his country.
/ OF course we cannot hinder
their desertion, but we can prevent
their carrying over their arms 10
the service Of the enemy. In this
mean, let us view ALL movements
or pleas for the organization Of q
third party, for whatever reason
set forth with suspicion. I am
aware that We have some persons
among US, who, till within the las,
few months, have been most dis
tinguished for their party zeal. bu,
are now agisating the question ol
bringing a temperance party into
the field in opposition to the Re-
publican nominees. This sudden
alteration OF their sentiments car
ries with it suspicious appear
ance. When I hear q mau who has

pie. not only once but q second
