The FATAL ACCIDENT on THE NORWICH
RoAD.-rhe particulars of the fatal accident on
the Norwich road a brief mention of which
was made Monday morning, are as follows: A
party consisting Of six men, woman and
two children, residing in Hampton, Ct, on the
Boston, Hartford and Erie road took a hand car
Sunday morning for visit to Oxford, on the
Norwich road. The men were employees of the
former corporation. While returning, they
were OvcrtakeD, about quarter past eight in the
evening, in the stone cut between Wilsonyillc
and Perryville by the returning special train
which took the Norwich fire companies to this
city. Five Of the men jumped off the car in
time to save their lives, but child belonging to
J. BasSctt, and Mrs. Solomon Benway were in.
stanty killed. Mrs Bcnway was found on the
locomotive under the headlight, with her child
clasped in her arms, which was uniniured. Mr.
BasSett and another child were severely injured,
and although alive last night, it is thought can
not recover. The whole party were French
Canadians, and at Putnam were Immediately
cared for by their own countrymcn. No blame
can possibly be attached to the officials Of the
train, as it was impossible to have seen them in
time to avoid collision. Conductor Chatfce
aud his men were untiring in their efforts for
the comfort Of the poor people, and did every
thing possible to alleviate the suferings of the

HOW AS TO SCHOOL FUNDS ?

It is said that Senator Rays bill for the
pay and mileage of the members of the
General Assembly out of any funds in
the State treasury, contemplates the ap-
preparation of the school funds for that
purpose. Hitherto the school funds have
been regarded as inviolable, and we know
of no case where the General Assembly
appropriated them for any other purpose
than the education of the children of the
State. All the school moneys now in the
State treasury have been appropriated for
the support of the public schools, and
apportioned according to law by the State
Superintendent to the various parishes and
towns of the State. The contracts en-
tered into with thirteen hundred school
teachers must be ignored if Mr.. Ray sue
ceeds in paying out these funds for the
pay of the members Of the General
Assembly.
There are constitutional provisions and
legal enactments against the violation of
contracts and the diversion of school
moneys, which it would be we'll to con-
slider before this proposed step is taken
against public education in this State.
1t may be well to watch carefully and
see whether this move is not one intended
to cripple the public schools of our State.
Perhaps the proposition is one embraced
in the new programme Of the Custom
Democratic coalition.

WHO CALLED FOR TROOPS ?

The Associated Press dispatches,
throughout the political contest in this
city, have leaned with decided Partially in
favor of the revolutionists. This has been
so apparent, that We only now notice the
fact in order to give greater emphasis to
our refutation of its latest recorded fabri-
cation. 1t was announced yesterday from
Washington that Governor Warmoth has
made repeated calls upon the President for
troops" This is false. If anybody de-
manded Presidential interference yesterday
it was Casey, Packard l. Co., who saw no
other way out of very ugly predicament-
a square fight or back-down-into which
the ardor and indiscretion Of their Demo
cratic allies had led them.
This view of the case is strengthened by
the excited discussion which took place in
Marshal Packard's Office yesterday morn
ing before Carriers speech at Clay statue),
during which the Marshal is said to have
been taken roundly to task for not stand
ing up to the revolutionary programme, in
stead of invoking interference from Wash
ington. But, whatever may be the exact
facts, this much is true: Governor War
moth has in no way communicated with
President Grant for the past five days

THAT COMPACT.

What humiiating scene was that in the
Senate yesterday afternoon. What gross
betrayal of party, what shameless treason
to their constituencies, was exposed against
men claiming heretofore to be Repub-
licans. Senator Campbell had barely time
to charge bargain and sale upon the re-
creants when denial after denial was ut
tered only to be followed by the most
astounding and unexpected proof of guilt.
This proof, bearing their own autographs,
was so conclusive and damning, that the
detected Iscariots could do naught but
scowl their anger at Senator Blackman, the
unlucky blunderer who wrought their con-
fusion, and push for adjournment before
further exposure came.
The charge was so driven home by Sen
ator Campbell, that the Democratic leader,
Senator Blackman, in his excitement, pro-
claimed a willingness that the whole world
should know the contents Of the compact,
and proceeding across the Senate floor to
Deputy Collector of Customs Herwig de-
manded the document. After some hest
tation, He1wig produced this precious
compact, and Blackman proceeded to read
it; but SO clumsily did he play his part
that the audience laughed aloud to witness
his labored attempt to conceal its import
ant clauses. Senator Campbell requested
to see the paper, which was refused him;
but his direct statement that the reading
was garbled, and that the strong guard Of
the Customhouse should not conceal its
contents from public knowledge, COM
PEELED the conspirators to make virtue Of
necessity, and pass the compact to the
Secretary to be read.
And what was disclosed? Instead of a
simple agreement to hold together for re-
form legislation, as they would have the
world believe, there was developed
solemn league to work, ''as unit and all
together" to secure committees, to con-
firm and reject appointments, and, III
word, to do all and everything for which
legislative ''rings" are formed. No wonder
they were overcome with shame and con-
fusion and sought speedy retirement. No
wonder the red blood tingled in their
cheeks when their secrets, wrought in the

darkness Of the Customhouse, were thus
suddenly shown to the world in midday.
And this is only the first chapter of
whole volume of false faith, corruption
and foul dealing. Senator Thomas in his
eagerness to place himself right, declared
that the one here referred to was the only
compact he had signed There are
others in existence which will forever con-
denim those signers who set up pretense
of Republicanism. Senator Campbell has
the clues to them. He will not fall short Of
his duty to the people by neglecting to
bring them also to light. Let the world
know whether reform" or selfish personal
ambition was the real cause of the calamit-
Gus events which have TRANSFERRED in New
Orleans during the past twenty days. This
is important reform!

If the sixteen Senators who voted on Sat
urday that the election Of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Pinchback, at the extra session Of the
Senate in December, was unconstitutional
honestly believed as they voted, why did
they take part in the act? If Mr.. John Ray
believed SO, why did he contend for the
position? If lawyers and intelligent men
commit such inconsistent acts, what may
We not expect from men who are not lawyers
and who are not intelligent? A great
many people who profess to be intelligent,
but who expressly decline to be considered
as lawyers, are in a middle about this
question. Our advice to them is to stick
to their intelligence, and let the lawyers
who engage in proceeding and then de-
nounce it as foolishness settle their incon-
consistency with their text books, if they
have any.

The Customhouse has been throughout
the unfortunate contest just ended the
headquarters of the revolutionists. Yes
terday, when the stores on Canal street
were closed, when excited men were
threatening to fire all the buildings adj
jacent to the State House, and preparing
on all sides to shed each others blood, the
armed rioters were rendezvousing in and
around that gloomy granite pile, while in
the private office of Marshal Packard the
Democratic leaders, Senator Thompson
and Representative Moncure, with Colonel
Carter, Mr., Packard and several others,
were plotting how their schemes of ag-
grandizement might best be carried ont.
1t is full time for the good of the whole
country that the control Of this political
stronghold pass into better and safer
hands

The Times says that the Southern peo-

roll of the hypocrite and that of the syco-
phant we must even admit that the Times
has spoken the truth, since it's own leader
