WAS IT kU-KLUx Nv Wednesday night Goth
ult., most villafnops attempt was made by GER
tain parties unknown to destroy a railroad
train filed with delegates 20 the Springfield
Conventions, in Illinois. The train was run
7. NJ, and was about six miles north of Spring
field when it was suddenly stopped with a
considerable shock to those on board Out
accordingly rushed conductor and passengers
to see what was the matter. 1t was ascer-
tained that ten railroad ties had been laid
across the track, at Intervals of rod the last
three being piled together. The engineer dis
covered the obstruction when within ten rods
and reversed the engine and whistled down
brakes, but the distance was so short that the
locomotive struck and knocked off most of the
ties. One of them, however, passed under the
pilot COW catcher), and the truck rode on it
some distance. the advancing wheels pressing
ii ahead. When the locomotive stopped il
was just ready TO plunge from the track and
it was half an hour before the tie could be re-
moved so as TO enable the train to proceed.
The conductor thinks the train would inevita-
bly, have been wrecked if it had not been equip
ped with the new brake, which enabled it 10
stop within the space of thirty rods Even as
1t was, the escape was fearfuly narrow one.
Had this only occurred in Southern Stale
with Radical delegation on board the train
what fearful stories of Ku-klux would be cir
culated As however, the unfortunate dele
gates were Liberal Republicans and Democrats
the attempt upon their lives will doubtless be
considered as "loyal," if not legal.-BeAi-

being seen on the back Of Catholic Irishman
or an in6del Dutchman. ''-HEYRY WILSON.

wearing the State misunderstanding of
course. The "Catholic Irishmen" and tinf-

themselves by voting for Henry Wilson, after
that. Mr.. W. was a Know-Nothing then, and
he doesn't know much more now if he expects
to get the foreign vote

SUDDEN DEATHS On Sunday last, Mr.. -
SMITH, living near GAINESVILLE, was called
upon to attend the funeral OF his sister, Mrs.
LEMON, who died suddenly at Germantown
His sad duty performed, Mr.. s. sat out on his
return home and was himself stricken down
by the fell destroyer, and now his remains lie
in the quiet churchyard. This is truly sad
and forcibly exemplihes the thrilling truth
that Sin the midst of life we are in death. "

heart disease

THE STATE AND THE B. & O. r. R.--It will
be remembered that two suits were tried in the
Superior Court for Baltimore city about eigh-
teen months since, in which the State of Mary
land was the plaintiff and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company the defendant The
first was found upon a claim for something
like 1912 600, which the Company owed the
State on account of the one-ffih passenger fare
on the Washington Branch which by the
terms of the charter was to be paid into the
Treasury IN perpetaam in return for the valua-
BILE franchises which the Company had receiv-
ed. Judge Dobbin ruled adversely to the
State in this case, and judgment was given for
the defendant. The State appealed The other
case was suit brought by the State to recover
the difference between gold and greenbacks at
the time the several instalments of the passen-
ger tax were paid, during the war, when gold
was at high premium 1t was contended
that the contract between the State and Com
pany, as set forth in the charter, contemplated
the payment of the tax in gold. Following
the decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the case of Hcburn vs. Griswold
which was then the law, Judge Dobbin ruled
in favor of the plaintiffs clains and the case
was referred to an auditor to adjust the ac-
counts and report the sum for which Judgment
should be entered. The Company appealed,
and shortly afterwards the Supreme Court
reversed us decision on the legal tender cues
ton, and the authority on which Judge Dobbin
had ruled ceased to be of binding effect The
Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the
Superior Court in the passenger tax case, aud
remanded it back for a new trial An account
was stated and judgment entered for the plant
itf in the Superior Court, upon which the
Company again appealed. By reference to the
proceedings of the Court of Appeals it will he
seen that both cases have been finally decided.
The Judgment in the passenger tax case by
which the State receives S2l2,00 has been
affirmed. The judgment in the gold case by
which the State recovered alike amount has
been reversed BaLtimore American

The Baltimore Convention.

No doubt now exists that large majority
of the delegates chosen to the National Demo-
cratic Convention which is to assemble in Bal
.imore on Tuesday next 10th July,) are in
favor of the nomination of Horace Greeley for
President. OF those elected, he has over the
required two-thirds if that rule should be en-
forced. And now the enquiry is, what has
produced this astonishing result. Naught else
but an earnest desire on the part of the South
ern people to ''clasp hands across that bloody
chasm" with their Northern brethren and be
one again-to prove to tho world that they
are willing TO bury the past in deep forgetful-
ness, and make common cause now in seeking
to restore the government 10 its original purity
and to preserve the Constitution intact. The
Southern Democracy accept the Northern can
didate, If presented by the Convention. They
will rally with enthusiasm to the support OF
that nominee. What nobler example Of sin
certify and Of forgiveness could be given-what
other could be asked. We know there are
some that will protest-men who adhere to old
dogmas and who seem to forget that "princi-
Piles" and not linen" are to be preferred. -
And in this is their Inconsistency. The plat
form adopted at Cincinnati is thoroughly DEM
ocratic and yet these refuse to stand upon
il, because, forsooth a straight-out democrat
was not chosen to represent its principles. 1t
had been proclaimed throughout the land that
the party was unequal TO the contest, and yet
when aid is offered, it is refused. This is mad
ness. The boilers, however, will be few. No
nomination that ever was made pleased every
member of the party-no nomination ever
will please every one. In all cases heretofore
the Democratic party has yielded acquiescence
to the decision of National Convention, and
II is the duty of each member thus TO abide
the decision Of that body. They are chosen
for their wisdom and integrity, and taking
review Of the whole matter, after full, free
and fair discussion, render their verdict ac-
oordngly
Let us hope that when the decision of the
Convention is announced, each member of the
party will yield his cordial and hearty assent
and buckle on his armor and if even under a
new leader, remember that they are Contend
ing for principle against error-for the rights
OF the citizen and the rights of the States and
for constitutional liberty as expeunded by the
Fathers of the Republic
The prize is within our grasp. It needs but
the firm step and united hands and hearts of
all true friends of reform to gain u victory
that will gladden. their hearts

SAID the New York Sun in recent article:
=" The Grant people say that Senator Sum-
ner's speech oE Grant is the best Grant cam

why do the Grant postmasters stop it in the

| DANGER OF WINKING.-We have all read of
the pitfalls that are spread for the feet of I'M
wary wanderers along the tortuous paths of
this life, but there is no sadder instance of a
truly good man falling into one of them than
OF certain deacon who resides near Cleveland
and happened in that city not long since. He
enjoyed the superadded excellence of being n
prominent member Of Temperance Society
In Cleveland he proposed TO purchase some re-
tall lots of that compound known as soda
water, and betook himself TO one of the dis
| pensaries of the beverage. 1t is customary for
Cleveland gentlemen who want an Infusion of
something strong in their doses to rink at the
presiding genius at the fountain Now the
deacon is troubled with an affection of the
eye which causes the left lid to drop in close
imitation of wink. Consequently as he i'm
ltated his desire for g sarsaparilla' in his the
treacherous eve went back on him, the atten-
i've clerk noted the motion, and diving be-
hlEd the counter he reappeared with three
fingers in the glass. The deacon drained the
glass, remarked that there was peculiar and
pleasant favor in the syrup, and passed out.
During the day he stopped before half dozen
other fountains, always with the same result,
and rs the shades of evening fell he was found
gracefully asleep under lamp-post with nu-
merous ya~ds Of a Dolly Warden, which had
been purchased for his daughter, twined like
a martial cloak around him. Hereafter he
will wear binder over his eve when be orders
soda-water; but, alas, he has lost the bubble
reputation at the fountains mouth.
