CINCINNATI.

The Races NJ the Buckeye Course.
CINCINNATI, July 26.-About seven
thousand people assembled at the
Buckeye race track this afternoon, to
witness the trot between Goldsmith
Maid and Lucy. Owing to the heavy
rains last night, the track was some
what heavy. Nevertheless, the time
was very fair, and if the track had
been in first rate condition it is
thought the horses would have
beaten their very best time: Con.
siderable money was bet that 2:20 would
not be beaten in the first heat.
The Maid got away two lengths in ad-
vance of Lucy, and reached the quar-
ter pole in thirty-four seconds, swing
ing in to the home stretch. Lucy col
Jared the Maid on the come in, and
when within fl ty yards of the. string
stumbled and broke, and was beaten by
a length and a-half Time, 2:l9.
In the second heat they got away
with Lucy leading half length, which
she increased to three lengths before
rounding the first turn, but failed to
take advantage of her lead and take the
pole at the quarter pole, which they
reached in thirty -four seconds. They
were neck and neck, and trotting very
fast. They went down the back stretch
like lightning, and came into the home
stretch in line. The burst Of speed
from the head of the stretch to the
string was terrific, the Maid winning the
heat BY neck. Time, 2:l7a. E..
The time was loudly cheered. 1t il
thought by a great many who were
present that Lucy could have won the
heat had Der driver felt disposed to lei
her. In the third heat the Maid hac
two lengths the start, which she widen
ed to six before reaching the half mile
pole. 1t was evident that neither o.
the drivers cared to make fast time in
this heat, and the Maid was allowed tc
come in wluner by seven lengths IL

Thomas and Lyomipg,; was won by
Gould in three straight heats. Time

A Car Loaded with Gunpowder
smashed-Rerrific Explosion.
From the Leavenworth Times, July l6
We learn from Conductor Bevard, Of
the Rock Island Railroad, the particu-
lars OF a terrific powder explosion which
took place yesterday, at eleven o'clock
A. NJ, about two miles east Of Gallatin,
Missouri, on that road. The train was
the Trenton accommodation, westward
bound, consisting Of seven freight cars
and one passenger coach. The train
was running at the usual rate Of speed,
when the axle OF the second car from
the engine broke, which precipitated
that car and likewise the third and
fourth cars off the track. The powder
was in the fourth car, and the trucks OF
the forward cars being jammed in q
mass under it, broke through the floors
of the car and penetrated the kegs OF
powder. The powder then commenced
to escape, and coming in contact with
the sparks, was ignited. Owing to the
friction caused by the unusual crushing
OF the wheels. against the side OF the
rail, the sparks were thick.
The explosion did not consist of one
laundering report, but a quick success
sion OF laundering reports. The noise
lasted about thirty seconds, and in this
length of time four hundred and fifty
kegs OF powder exploded. Streams Of
fire shot upward to distance OF fifty
feet, followed by great volumes Of dense
smoke.
The most fortunate circumstance
connected with the accident was that
no one was hurt, although the upper
part OF the car was blown to atoms.
About two minutes before the explo-
sion occurred, two brskemen walked
over the car containing the powder, and
at the time the powder ignited were
only distant three cars. The passen-
ger car at the rear OF the train was we'll
filled with passengers, yet none were
injured.
The most remarkable incident Of the
explosion, however. is the fact that
about two hundred and fifty kegs Of
powder remained intact, and did not
become ignited in the general blowing
up" The remaining kegs were black
ened and 30 charred that one could
almost push his hand through them,
and how they happened to escape igni-
ton is almost beyond human compre-
hension.
While the axles were yet burning
under the car containing the remaining
two hundred and fifty kegs, Conductor
Bevard and his trainsmen approached
and subdued tn e flames.

The Predicament They Will BE In

from the Morgantown constitutional
The Predicament They Will BE In.
We pity the future state upon earth
OF those misguided politicians, lately
claiming to be Democrats, who have
resolved to stand by the treachery OF
John J. Jacob. Let us examine little
into the predicament in which they are
placing themselves.
The very best possible combination
of results for their interests will be, the
election of Grant and the defeat Of the
new Constitution. The latter result
will carry with it the defeat Of Camden
and Of the entire Democratic State tick,
ct. In that state of affairs (Which,
AZ we have said, is the very
best for them,) where will they
find themselves Why, in a
position where they can reap no benefits
except from the Grant Radical party
and they must violate every promise
they now make, must turn tail on every
political principle they profess, must
turn their coats and "slop" clean over,
before they can even hope for advance
ment from that quarter. Even with
that dsgraceful bemeanment to the
dogs level, the chances are ten to one
that they will be contemptuously kick
ed aside to give place to the hungry
truly loil.
But then, there is not the slightest
reasonable prospect OF such a state Of
affairs. The indications are unmistaka.
Bile that Horace Greeley. and not U. S.
Grant, will be elected next President
and this whether West Virginia be car.
ried for the Democracy or not.
What, then, will be the position Of
the quack politicians referred to? They
will simply have checked the Democra.
cy emporarily in the Inauguration of
the great and invaluable reforms en-
bodied in the new Constitution. That
is all. They themselves will be
despised by the party they have
betrayed, whilst the party for whom
they played traitor will not be able,
even if willing, to reward their treason.
So long as a national administration
.is in power which will guard the
rights of the State and prevent the
tamperipg with elections, West Vir-
glnia is as securely Democratic as are
her mountains to stand. Defeat the
new Constitution now, and the people
will know that it has been done through
treachery, and the corrupt, deceitiul
combinations OF desperate politicians.
The people will renew the contest for
reform; the new Constitution wiH inep
itably get be adoptedl and those recre-
ant men Of the Democratic party who
sold their principle in the hope Of self
ish gain, or for the price OF spite, will
be consigned to the lasting contempt Of
an honest people.
