The mixing of negro with white
children in our common schools, is one
of tho practical questions of the day
in our State. There is no use for any
one to dodge the question. Parents,
school directors, editors and teachers
are bound to face the music sooner or
later Upon questions of such marked
distinction we are unwilling to occupy
Il shilly-shally or hypocritical position.
Wcarc opposed to offending the races
for their Improvement. Radical legis.
lation, both national and State, for
ten years past, has drifted in this
direction. Tho negro is tho race the
Radical leaders seem TO worship, and
their legislation is almost wholly IN
tho interest of that race and for the
degradation Of the white. Abundant
testimony is at hand TO prove. this,
and two weeks ago we incidentally
called the attention of our readers and
the editor OF the Journal to this fact,
by quoting from the Radical biblc Of
Pennsylvania, Qho Press,) but the
aforesaid editor, in his usual Yankee
style, instead of denouncing orapprov.
ing the political hercsy, goes Oft about
spot, kettle, potato and "original
paragraphs and dodges the real ques.
lion ut issue in genuine duck style.
Hear him:
! "Thu sage and sagacious editor OF the RepnbH-
eau intmates in his last issue, that are ''iu the
| habit OF manufacturing editorials from the coll
umns' of an eastern exchange paper. Seat!
That sounds too much like "the pot calling the
Kettle black,' to deceive any one. Now, we viii
wager the largest potato in town, that we have
written twice as many original paragraphs within
the last three months as the wOuld-be asuie editor
of the Rcpabiient. A-heml'
"Original paragraphs" arc not the
questions at issue. Do you or do you
not accept and approve Of the plat.
form laid down by the Philadelphia
Press in relation TO forcing negro chill
dren into the common schools and the
adults into churches, hotels, etc, upon
the same equality with the whites
Yes or no closes the dispute. Again,
to be still mere practical, do you want
your children sandwiched in along
with q benchfull of young Africans in
the school room or anywhere else 7
Now, then, let US have few Of
your "original paragraphs on these
points. Let tho cat, potatoes, etc,
alone, and give us some common sense
thrusts upona pressing domestic ques-
ton. No dodging, Deacon.

u broken rail threw the cars OFF the
track and down an embankment thirty
feet into the river. Fortunately the
ice was strong enough TO prevent the
cars from breaking through. More
than a score of passengers were more
or less Injured. Th", all were not
l.ilied is n miracle. Mr.. a. C. Finnoy
and his daughtcr were on board of the
train, and received some injury,
though not serious Three OF the cars
wero burned.
The next accident occurred on the
Lehigh Valley Road A broken rail
threw the whole train over an en-.
bankment Fifty feet into the river,
killing eight person and wounding
thirty others. The whole train was
burned up.
\ broken rail threw a passenger
train of the Allegheny Valley Road
below franklin, also into the river,
seriously injurins many passengers
The train was pretty well burned up.
An oil train took fire near Johns
town and burned up over two hun
dred cars, consuming largo amount
of oil The loss to the company in
material will amount to over $500, 900
