The Count of Valmaseda has taken an eff
fective way to answer the uncomfortable truths
about him which he reads in the NewYOrk
papers He says they are written by the
insurgents and paid for as advertisements.
We have great confidence in the stupidity of
this dull knave. But he is not silly enough
to believe this, and his PRONUNCIATION of the
weak invention will only deepen the contempt
in which he is held by the people subject to
his brutal tyranny.

Mining accidents are becoming alarmlngly
frequent in Great Britain. 1t has been popu-
larly supposed that the United States had the
monopoly of this class of casualties, but
England and Wales have furnished
the world with great number from
fire-damp and impure air during the
past few years. The last which is re-
ported is serious calamity by an explosion
of fire-damp in the lakewood Colliery, Wales,
by which many lives were lost. The bodies
of eleven victims, portion of the whole num-
Der, have been recovered. Either science is at
fault with it's appliances, or the cupidity of
proprietors neglects the proper precautions.

The Hon. VIM. B. Allison of Iowa, who has
lust been elected to the United States Senate
in place of the Hon. James Harlan, has
boporably and fairly won the distinction
which he has achieved. Elected to
Congress as long ago as 1862, he has
proved himself an industrious, honest
and capable legislator. His independence IN
political matters has not, perhaps, gained him
such powerful friends in Washington as among
his own constituents, and the defeat of the
more subservient gentleman whom he now
succeeds, seems TO have been received at the
National Capital with some surprise and con-
Attenuation.

Messrs. Ames, Allen, and Lord, who form
the Wood Investigating Committee in the

them. Mr.. Wood enters a general denial of
all charges against him, and says in effect, that
his accounts with the Bowling Green Bank
are "of no consequence" But they are of

Comments by The Tribune.
The grave suspicious under which Senator
Wood labOrs are nOwse of our creating. They
grow naturally out Of the statement OF his
account with the Bowling Green Savings Bank,
which became public through the failure of
that institution. That statement we found
circulating among Mr.. Woods constituents on
visiting his district on the Gath ult. One of
them. at our request, gave us a copy. lead
ing citizen of his own County (whose name is
at Mr.. Woods service) wrote the letter which
accompanied the exhibit when it appeared in
our columns last week. So, yOu see, the case
rests entirely on other testimony than ours,
and mainly Gas we stated last week. on the
exhibit in question, the accuracy OF winch Mr.
Wood did not see fit to question In his speech
of Wednesday. Let us hear him.

A SINGULAR ACCIDENT-1wO Men
Run Over by the Street Cdrs.-On Sat
urday night one of the most singular
accidents occurred that We have heard
OF lately. About nine o'clock two men
named George Hastings and "Bully"
Able were run over by street car No. I
and very severely injured. The facts
of the case, as near as we can get at
them, are these. Hastings and Able
were seen walking along Jacob street,
near Hamilton's foundry, 80 much under
the influence Of liquor that locomotion
was almost impossible for them. When
they got in front Of the foundry they
fell across street railway track. The
night was very dark and the driver of
the street car did not see them until
his attention was called to the fact that
something was wrong by the manner
in which his horses acted. Looking
down he saw to his horror the two men
under the feet Of his team. He put
on the break at once TO stop the car but
it was too late 10 save them from injury,
although not to save them from death,
for instead of the wheels going over
them and cutting them in two, they
were dragged along under the wheels
until the car could be stopped and the
men pulled out. 1t was found that
Hastings, who is the most injured Of
the two, had his arm broken and has
received internal injuries that may ter
inmate fatally. Able received ter
rible cut on the head, probably from
one of the horses shoes. He was on,
Yesterday, we hear. We trust that Mr.
Hastings hurts may not prove as seri-
GUS as they were reported to US yester-
day, and that he may be about again in
short time.
At a late hour last night we were
reliably informed that Mr.. Hastings
injuries are more serious, even, than at
first reported, and that his Symphonic
are now most decidedly unfavorable for
a speedy recovery.

THE RAIDS ORGANIZING Quite a
number OF straight-out Republicans
met at the Court House, Saturday
night, for the purpose of organizing a
Grant and Wilson campaign club. A
committee was appointed to report a
constitution and bylaws. The COM
mittee walked out Of the court room,
pulled the constitution and bylaws out
Of the pockets of one OF its members,
marched back to the court room and
reported them. The report was, OF
course, adopted. The organization is
to be called the Central Grant and
Wilson Club Of Ohio county" The
following are the officers: President,
John Bishop Vice Presidents, Caleb
Sylvis and DR.. R. W. Hazlett; Record
ing Secretary, Captain C. J. Rawlings;
Corresponding Secretary, Captain c. E.
Irwin; Treasurer, Major M. w. Burt;
Reader, Captain R. w. Cochran. A
subscription paper was started to raise
funds to carry on the campaign, and
$3.50 was subscribed. After a short
and melancholy talk over the prospect
before them, the meeting adjourned to
meet tonight at the same place.

SPOTTED FEVER AT BELLAIRs.-Dur.
ing the past week there were three cases
OF spotted fever at Bellaire. Ohio, each
one of which terminated fatally. The
last case, a child of Thomas Wilson,
Eco, died on Saturday afternoon last.
Considerable anxiety is said to exist in
Bellaire for fear that the fever may be-
come an epidemic. 1t may safely be
asserted that no epidemic disease has
created more alarm on the part OF the
public, and so much anxiety on the part
of the medical profession, as the disease
known as cerebro-spinal mening'tles-
commonly called spotted fever" This
has been due, in a great measure, to the
want of knowledge on the part of the
physicians OF the real nature, course
and treatment of the disease. DR..
Meredith Clymer, a learned and accom-
plished physician Of New York city
says: 1T is not simple or idiopathic
Inflammation of the membranes OF the
brain or spinal cord, nor OF typhu,
fever, nor of pernicious paludal fever
but a substantive disorder, consistent
with itself in all material points, with
constant symptoms produced by con-
slant cause, and is entitled to be de-
scribed and regarded as a distinct dis
ease, whose proper theological place if
among general diseases born of an e1'
ternal morbid poison"

THr TINE ExrrxDrp.-Mr. Mshlon

THE TINE ExrENDED.-Mr. Mshlon
Kennedy has extended the time in his
challenge to John Hagner, Of the
Clarkson Boat Club, from Saturday,
September 18th, to Saturday, October
9Th, and offers odds in the stakes. 1t
is time that some notice wss taken OF
this challenge by Mr.. Haguer or his
friends. Either it should be accepted
at once or some reasons should be given
for refusing to accept it. Wewere led
to believe, from rumors on the streets,
that some action would have been taken
on Saturday to settle the question, but
we were unable to learn yesterday that
anything at all had been done. A lon
ger silence will be construed disadvan-
tageously to Mr.. Hagner. This should
not he allowed for a minute. We would
rather be defeated in a thousand con-
tests than to suffer for an instant under
the imputation that we had done a
wrong, if we were in Mr.. Hagners
place. Mr. Hagner believes, we are
told, that he led Mr.. Kennedy to the
end of the race as he did to the stake
boats, and that he beat him as certainly
in fact, as he did technically according
to the articles. If this is 80, it is due
Mr.. Hagner's friends that he give his
reasons for declining another contest
with Kennedy, if indeed he does decline.
If ne cannot accept the challenge pub
lished by Mr.. Kennedy, let him state
what kind of challege he will accept
and under what circumstances. At any
rate, let us have the race over again.
1t is due the judges, the referee, the
public and ourself that match should
be made between the men, and that
without delay.

A CHALLENGE.
$1,000 against $500.

l hereby challenge John Hagner, OF
the Clafkson Boat Climb, to row q single
scull skiff race on Saturday, October 5,
1872, between the hours of two and four
o'clock P. NJ, for one thousand dollars
$4,000 against eight hundred dollars
($SOO), over the same course we rowed
on the 2lst ult., and 10 the same boats
we used on that occasion.
1t is not customary for the challeng-
ing party to stipulate the course to be
rowed over, the boat his opponent shall
row in, or the time the race shall take
place, but having beaten Mr. Hagper
fairly, Notwithstanding tie decision Of
the judges to the contrary, feel con-
strained to demand, in justice to myself
and also to my friends, that we be
placed on the same footing as before.
A forfeit OF five hundred dollars

Wilson, with whom all necessary ar
rapgemeuts can be made.
