The Republican Fire on Grant.

Some of the strongest blows against
Grant come from the Liberal Repub-
licans. The Chicago Tribune says,
that in the great excitement ovor
Grants denomination, the most i'm.
portant plank Of the platform was
dropped, which it restores. Hore it
is:
"1'hat the object Of the Federal
Government is to buy up waste
islands for missionary purposes, to dig
up Chorpennipg claims, Secor claims,
Roach claims, Peunock gunboat
claims, and other buried frauds on
tho government whicn successive ad-
ministrations have overruled, and pay

Cabinet members to have a good

Another Fearful Disaster.

PITTsBURG, Pa, June %, 1872
At noon to day terrible accident 90.
Cured on the Pittsburg, Washington
and baltimore Railroad, about three
quarters of a mile this side of Conn els
vile. A freight train going east was
running at full speed in order to reach
the switch ut Connellsvillo before the
approach of the mail. At the point
mentioned, at q sharp curve on the
road, both trains came together so
suddenly that the engineers of the
locomotives could hardly realize the
fearful situation they were in. nor
had they time to make much effort to
check the speed Of their engines,
which came together with a fearful
crash, that could bo heard long dis.
tance of
The trains came together, and in
an Instant the locomotives wore a
perfect mass of twisted and broken
iron, while the escaping steam Kissing
from the boilers lent additional ter.
ror to the scene.
The entire freight train was wreck.
ed, fragments of it being strewn on
each side of the track, while the pas
senger train escaped with less injury.
Eight passengers were seriously ill.,
jured. Some havo broken legs,
others broken arms and ribs, and it
is expected that number of these
will die, while somo nine others sus.
tanned injuries of less sevoro cbarac-
ter.
The passenger train, with number
of the wounded, arrived hero at ten
O'Clock tonight. The collision of the
engines, going at the speed both were
travelling, is said to have shook the
earth in tho neighborhood like an
earthquake, and not one passenger on
the entire train could utter word
for full minute after the occurrence.

A Little Girl Walks Thirty.two Miles in
Search Of Her Mother.

Yesterday little girl, only eleven
years age, arrived in the city in
search of her mother, having walked
all the way from Shelbyville, dis.
tancc of thirty-two miles. Her story
is that she was forced to leave by the
brutal treatment of man named
Goodman, with whom she had been
living. She says that three years
ago she was bound to Goodman by
her mother who was then living in
this city. Her daily duties were
burdensome, and sufficient to wear
out person of much stronger frame
and make than this delicate child.
She was compelled to wash and iron,
besides doing household work, and in
addition was made to attend, feed and
milk thirteen COWS. She bore up
under her enormous task until nature
rebellcd and rendered her physically
incapable to longer prosecute her
labors and, informing her employee
that she was not strong enough to do
the. work, was brutally told that if
she could not do 1t 20 leave. She
then packed up her things and started
to this city, arriving yesterday as
above above stated. She went to
where her mother formerly lived, but
was unable to find her. She then
went from place to place, but could
nowhere hear of hcr mother, who had
doubtless left the city. Yesterday
afternoon, in her wanderings, sho
mot with charitable people, who
kindly administered to her wants
and gained her admittance to chari-
table institution.-LoutsuiWs Ledqer.

The GAS Question,

For the past year or more, spasmodlc efforts
have been made by the City Council to hold the
Gas Company to the old contract for gas used
in the public lamps, but as yet no reduction has
been made in the price. On last Friday night
the matter was brought up again, and it was
suggested that the best way to avoid trouble in
the future would be for the corporation to take
charge of the works, which it was claimed
could be done under the charter granted the
Company, at the end of twenty years. 1t Is as
serted that abe works can be run supplying gas
to the citizens at So 50per OOOc bic feet which
would be a reduction of nearly one-thlrd.
On the other hand it is said that the actual cost
ofmanufacturing gas exceeds the price specified
in the original contract, which has been admit
ted by the different city administrations, which,
until lately, paid their bills without question.
The capacity of the Works is about fifty BUSH
els of coal per day, which makes about Is, 600
cubic feet of gas, the price of which is five dol
lars per THOUSAND.
Friends of the Works claim that the compli-
cations now existing have prevented the extern
sion of mains and charging the Works so as to
increase the capacity which would enable the
management to reduce the price. 1t is thought
they may be enabled to do this when the matter
is definitely settled by the court. ..s.-
But Whatever the difficulty Is the public are
certainly the losers until the matter is finally
disposed of The corporation has not manifest
ed disposition, heretofore, to wish the Com
pany to furnish gas at less than cost, and IT is
fair to presume will not in the future, and if
there is any attempt at extortion on the part OF
the Company, it should not be submitted to.

East Tennessee University.

The usual examinations at the close of the
winter term have been in progress this week at
the East Tennessee University. The last class
was examined yesterday and the term closed.
The summer session will open this morning,
there being no vacation between terms.
We understand that number of new students
have arrived and others are expected, and that
nearly all those who were in attendance during
the last term will continue.
The attendance at the University during the
present year has been quite large and encour-
aging to the friends of the Institution, and the
future is full of.promise One hundred and
ninety-three students registered during the last
term, and more than two hundred are expected
to be in attendance during the present session.
The young men of the State should not fail to
improve the fine opportunity offered by the Uni
versity to obtain practical and thorough edu-
cation. No such opportunity is offered by any
institution in the State, and no better, if as
good, by any in the South Tuition is merely
nominal and board is reduced to two dollars per
week in order that all may avail themselves of
the benefit of the Agricultural Fund, donated
by Congress to the young men of the State.
a new military organization will be effected
soon, the former organization having been only
TEMPORARY.

The river is now as low as it was at any time
during the past fall and summer, but should a
warm rain come suddenly big flood may be
expected from the melting of the snow, and es-
pecially the large quantities accumulated in the
mountains.
Boating is suspended on account of the ice
all eddy places being frozen over.
The Crozier steet ferry has not been running
for two DAYS past, and consequently no wagons
an reach town from south of the river.
Even fishermen, we believe, have been forced
10 suspend business for the present.

ON Trial.

An interesting case occurred in the Federal
Court yesterday The United States vs.. Har-
rison Collins and others for rescuing prisoners,
Conway Collins and l.. J. Davis, from the hands
of G. d. Larkins, Deputy United States Mar
shall.
The offense was committed at Sneedville,
Hancock county. in November, 1870. 1t seems
that the parties made a considerable flourish of
firearms, which was naturally very intimidat-
ing to the officer. Col. John Netherland of
Rogersville, and Mr.. Jarvis, of Sneedville, APP
peared for the defence and addressed the jury
in the afternoon. \ verdict will probably be
had this morning.

Accidents.

The frozen condition of the streets yesterday
was such as to make it exceedingly dangerous
to teams unless carefully driven. \ horse fell
on Union street and broke the tongue out of q
wagon. Another slipped up at the South end of
Market Square and lay for some time attracting
a considerable crowd, but was apparently IN
hurt.
We learned that a horse attached to bakers
wagon fell somewhere near the German Luth-
hicla
