A RAILROAD company in an adjoin-
ing state recently suspended an engi-
neer for two weeks with loss Of pay be-
cause his train was thrown from the
track by the carelessness OF a switch
tender. AS the engineer had nothing
to do with the switch and narrowly es'
capped with his life it is difficult to see
where the justice of this action lies. On
the same principle it would be good
thing for the travelling public if the
salary of the President of a road should
be stopped whenever an accident oc-
ours. There would not be many OF
them We'll wager.

organization lately effected there under
the name of "saint Johns Parish" "
The grounds we understand comprise
about an acre, and the building is near

school, two stories, cupola &C., which
at small expense can be made beauti-
ful and tasteful place of worship. The
lands adjoin the Masonic Hall property.
The price was 1900 and is considered
cheap. The energy of that new Parish

In view of the importance of the
coming Fall election it would be Well
to establish q Democratic club in every
township of this county and thus be
prepared to enter, fully prepared, upon
the campaign when fairly opened
Meetings could be held once month
during the early part of the year and
more frequently as the time for election
drew near. The benefits of these Clubs
are two fold. They would draw to-
gether the Democrats, and keep alive
their interest in political matters and
they would serve as nucleus around
which could rally those disatfected Re
publicans who are disgusted with the
rottenness and corruption of the admin.
istration. We hope steps may be taken
at once to establish these Clubs.

A TERRIBLE accident occurred on
Tuesday morning last, at about eight
o'clock, in the tannery of j. p. Conner
near Fowlersville, this county, Mr..
Conner was at work in the tannery, a
workman in the bark room overhead,
and an old man, named Absolom Lewis
was passing the building for the pur.
pose of cutting some wood, when the
boiler of the engine, a portable one,
suddenly exploded with terrific force.
Mr.. Conner was knocked into a vat of
hot liquor and severely scalded, the
man in the bark room'was blown out
of the building, landing in the road
though strangely enough he was not
seriously injured, but the old man
Lewis who was twenty. five yards dis
tant from the building and in the act
of getting over fence, was struck by
the iron boiler head and instantly kill
ed. He left an aged widow in destitute
circumstances. Mr.. Conner was rem
dered temporarily blind by the dirt
and hot liquor blown into his face His
escape was wonderful, as he had just
stepped from the front of the boiler tC
its side. Had he remained a moment
longer he must have been blown to at
oms. The building was badly shatter
ed. No cause is known for the explo
sion.

"WG'stOn Disregard of the LasCs of
the Land"

The address Of the Cincinnati Convention is
nothing better than personal attack upon Pres
ident Grant, instead of fair, hgh-toned embod-
iment of principles around which patriotic men
can rally for the purpose of working out grand
results for the welfare of our common country.
Instead of being broad embodiment OF remedies
for the mistakes that may have been committed
BY the administration, it is series of sweeping
charges against the political integrity of the pa
triotic men who have advocated and sustained
the broad measures of the administration.
The first charge is 'the administration now
in power has rendered itself guilty of wanton dis
regard of the laws of the land and usurped pow
ers not granted by the Constitution.
In all matters of this character it is an easy
matter for any man or body of men to make
charges of such general nature as these against
the administration in power. Such charges have
been brought against every administration from
Washington's to Grants, inclusive. Washing
ton was charged with wilful and deliberate vio-
lation of the Constitution in sending troops to
Pittsburgh for the purpose of suppressing the
whiskey instruction and securing the "faithful
execution" of the revenue laws then upon the
national statute books. When the "father of his
country" in the ''good old days. gone by,
when all men were honest, as we are now in
formed, could not escape the charge of usurping
"powers not granted by the Constitution" how
can Republican administration, in this day of
Democratic prejudice and hunger for Office do it !?
Can President Grantexpect to escape charges when
Washington found the arrows of yituperative
abuse heaped upon him ?
What claw of the land" has President Grant
violated Neither the address, which is sundry-
counted indictment against the President and
his supporters nor the platform, of principles
points out single violation of BE law or the
Constitution by President Granite: the admins
tration Nor can those who made the charges
produce such evidence. And an indictment
without evidence is a nullty. Nothing but a
verdict of mot guilty" can be rendered upon
such an indictment.
. When President Grant took charge of the Pres
idential Office he sad in his inaugural, that "the
best remedy for bad law was its rigid execu-
tion." This maxim has marked the policy Of
his administration throughout. No administra-
ton has been more faithful in the rigid execu-
ton of all the laws he finds upon the statute
books than President Grants has been. ia wan
ton disregard of the laws of the land' is charge
as groundless as it is sweeping. If true, some
instance could be cited. If true, some evidence
could be produced The charges are not sustained
by the unbiased judgment Of any respectable por-
ton of the American people, and they will react
upon those who make them.

street, who rendered gallant service to the rebel
lion, who Gen. Grant appointed as Naval Of
feer of New Orleans on the advent of his admin
istration, and who resigned that position short
time since, has written letter TO Senator Kellogg
Of Louisiana, 10 which be endorses President
Grant aud urges his denomination. He refers to
reconstruction as one OF the most important
works connected with the administration. While
he thinks the Laws are not the wisest or the best
that could have been devised, yet their faithful
administration will lead TO the results anticipa-
ted" He thinks il ''better TO adhere to the
original plan than to start off upon some other
theory that may lead US into new difficulties, and
possibly TO disastrous confusion" His letter
concludes with these significant words: "The
personal claims of the President are very great.
All things considered / am constrained TO say
that think the people owe it to themselves and
to the President to return him to the Office he has
filled SO well and with such entire good faith"
This is the candid sentiment of a candid man.
II is the square endorsement of President Grant
by a man who appreciates the situation and
knows how the interests of the communities in
the States lately in the rebellion can best be sd-
vauced
