this evening there was, a vivid display oI
lightning all round the heavens, which
was followed by dashing rain, cooling
the atmosphere and giving tokens Of the
breaking up Of the heated term. 3"

The Tribune of tomorrow will publish
the following: n
ION August IA, julius Chambers, re.
porter Of the Tribune, was consigned
to the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum
through the regular process Of law, and
was placed by the assistant physician in
charge in one OF the wards for excited
patients, being thought a dangerous mani.
&C. At the end OF week he appeared to
best much improved that he was, by in.
srTlction from this Office, removed TO q
ward for quiet patients, and encour.
agement was held out by the same
physician that In six or seven weeks he
might be discharged. On Saturday last
after q writ of hG6edS corpus for his re-
lease had been served. DR.. David T..
Brown, Superintendent Of the Institution
talked with him for an hour or two, and
being familiar with the disease, he con.
cluded at once that the reporter was sane.
On Monday at the earnest solicitation of
the physician and legal adviser of the
asylum, consent was given. He will be
released without further legal proceedings
Two reputable physicians, a medical stu.
dent and a professional nurse, pronounced
the man violent lunatic, dangerous 10
himself and others. 1t was charged that
strangers to the patients sometimes com
mitted them. 1t was therefore decided
that absolute strangers should not be EN-.
ployed. 1t was said that the police Jus.
tices committed without examination.
The Jutice who sent our reporter to
Bloomingdale, never saw him at all,
and does not know the names OF
the persons or physicians who made
application; the Governor Of the ASYLUM
would receive no patient on his indorse-
ment 1t was therefore decided to avoid
this Governor altogether, and, in spite Of
strict regulations, the physician in charge
received the patient and, without asking
the name OF the gentleman who consigned
him and after an examination Of less than
one minute, consigned. him to
ward for excited persons. It was
also charged that the physicians connived
at the removal of patients for whom writs
of ha6eas corpus had been procured, hav-
ing some means Of communication with
the court by which they were advised in
advance Of such proceedings. To test
this'question a writ of habeaS corpus was
served, but the prisoner had not been
removed, and no suggestion was made oil
removal; but strenuous efforts TO keep
the matter from the courts were made,
and finally with success.

by the wreCking Of the train and burning
OF the oil and cars on the Reading road,
this morning, is nearly quarter of o

carried it oil the abuttment carrying the
rest OF the train down on the Reading
track, twenty feet below. This disaster
had hardly occurred when train OF 90
coal cars, fully laden, came running up
to the bridge; the engineer and fireman
jumped from the engine and escaped with
their lives, though sustaining some slight
injuries. In q moment more the coal
train collided with terrific force with the
huge pile, which filled the chasm. The
shock TO the train threw every
car from the track, while ten were
completely smashed and battered up, ly-
ing piled upon each other. Some were
tossed distance Of twenty feet and others
thrown back upon the train. Their wreck
was complete in o few minutes. After the
collision OF the coal train confagration
ensued, which destroyed oil the cars that
plunged into the chasm, with all Of their
valuable merchandise and the locomotive,
the latter being completely destroyed aud
piled upon the charred cars and ruins of
the bridge, The cars of the New York
train contained dry goods. The fire de-
partment was quickly summoned, but de-
spite the efforts of the firemen all that was
combustible went TO ashes.

Committee, closed on Monday evening.
The result is the adoption oi the Brindle
ticket, with two changes. Democrats
were placed on the ticket for Supreme

to suit the old committees. The Liberal
Republicans were not accorded represen.

forth their claims as the originators in

Little Rock, in 1869, Of the liberal move

organization represented at Cincinnati
and the representatives Of large part OF
the constituency, they expressed no com.
plant at the combination to exclude
them. But debarred from entering

either to become an active party in the

The Democrats and the Irish.

The political telegram which inadvert-

patches Sunday night, instead Of going to
the Cincinnati paper for which it was in.
tended, causes u sensation. 1t is disputed
that the lrishnen of this city are very
sore over the Democratic State nomina.

Irish element being ignored In the county

is making any noticeable headway here;

Gen. Banks Makes a Speech for
GFeeleV,

Boston, August e7.-Gen. Banks made
his first speech Of tho campaign tonight
at Lynn on the occasion Of the Greeley
and Brown flag raising to large aud.
fence. Gen. Banks said in the present
issues there was no more Democrats and
no more Republicans, but patriotic men,
who sacrifice their prejudice, and as one
party, and one man, stand before the
country in supportot the great principles
on which the government was established.
The aim Of this movement was to
place power in the hands Of the peo-
pie, while the Administration party de.
sired their own perpetuation in power /;
but the claims Of factions whether at the
North or South would be respected. The
speaker said we have no cause to press
those who engaged in the rebellion fur.
ther than our safety demands. They are
but faction; a minority without posi-
ton, wealth or influence, and 1t is not rea.
sonable TO suppose they would take
power out OF the hands Of forty millions
OF people and reopen old issues.

The Genera ArhitrntInn.

GENEVA, August 27.-There is every
reason to believe that the Arbitrators have
settled in principle the question OF in.
demnity, and have fixed approximately
the amount to be awarded for vessels de-
stroyed by the Confederate cruisers. Il
is probable that the total amount of dam.
ages to be awarded the United States will
be between three and four million pounds
sterling. No dependence is TO be placed
on reports chrepresent the amount as
above or below these extremes. Some
further claims remain to be settled. The
question of the payment Of interest OF
sums awarded, which has not yet beer
approached, will be considered in Thurs
days sitting.

Master Stroke off Observation-Disclosures
Ofan Influential Family Destroyed
ssTaIleyrand EuualIed.


To the Editors otth IntellIgencer.
In the absence Of the Jakey, we must
occasionally avail ourselves Of your col
umns, until such time as purified Demo.
cratic party will find us in fellowship with
our old associates. Our object now is 10
pay tribute ofrespect to the sagacity Of
our Ring brethren.
The excitement growing out Of the con.
test between Governor Jacob and Mr..
Camden kept the attention Of the people
so completely riveted In that direction,
that many great achievements executed
during the progress Of the canvass have
been overlooked. Now, that the excite
ment is over, and We have reason to cool
our raging passions, we find many things
Of interest to the political student pre-
senting themselves. After the nomination
OF Col. Ben. Wilson by the Clarksburg
Convention, the selection OF Mr.. VIM. P
Hubbard as the Presidential Elector on
the Democratic ticket, was certainly an
other master.stroke Of policy Heretofore
this staunch family were pretty evenly
divided as TO the several political organi'
cations Of the country, the Democracy
claiming but one member, so that It was
OF the greatest Importance 10 the Demo
cratic party to secure preponderance
Moreover MIR. VIM. P. Hubbard was the
recognized head Of the great Independent
Greeley party OF West Virginia; so thai
the capture Of the chief OF this august
party was OF the utmost conse-
quence, and must be accredited tc
the Clarksburg Convention. The many
sacrifices made by Mr.. Hubbard upon thu
altar Of principle, VIC presume, will rally
his adherents in opposition to the Repub
lican party, and give q generous swell Il
the great Democratic Greeley movement
For skilful political tact and acumen, taC
managers Of the party in this instance
stard without parallel since the days o
NJ. Tallcyrand. In their zeal, however
these gentlemen seem TO have lost sight 0
one essential characteristic Of party
and that Is honor. Men who supportet
Democrats like John j. Davis and Gov
Jacob are accused of selling out tn
| Democratic candidatefor Sheriff In Ritchi
though the tickets used by the Jaco'
Democrats in Ritchie, mny DO seen b
any of the curious, and are at the sam
time invited to confer upon Mr.. W. 2
Hubbard their sutfrages in the Presiden

ton into consideration. JAKRY.
