At the investigation yesterday into the
cause of the Southside Railway collisiOn, Con-
ductor Rathbone testified that h, was hurry
ing down the track to get out of the way of
the approaching train; that he used his own
judgment as to whether he had tine enough;
and that if no collision had taken place he
would not have been blamed. ThGe is bit
of justice, possibly, in this last statement
which is worth some consideration. How
many conductors are considered smart because
they dodge and turn short corners in making
"time," none probably ever know. Some OF
them of course fail at last, and, instead of
the commentator they have received, they
are hailed before Coroners jury. In the
case of the Southside collision, the jury find
Conductor Rathbone and Engineer Scott guilty
of culpable violation Of the rules TO: running

The procession of the Orange lodges, yester-
day, proved that such demonstration could
be made in this city and elsewhere without
melting riot or even drawing disturb
ance. The sharp experience of last year,
fresh in the memory of most people,
had probably something to do with the
preservation of the peace this year;
but the legalization of professions by Act
of Legislature, and the fact that this guaran-
tees protection to the celebrants, gave our
citizens an opportunity to witness an example
of moderation and discretion on the part OF
two factions.

Judge Prindle's case before the State Senate
has been adjourned to September, the last
witness being the respondent himself. He tes-
tilted in explanation of the purchase of Mrs.
Russers bonds, that he did not conduct the
negotiation, but it was done through third
party, AMI that if Mrs. Russell did not get the
market price it was because he was not in the
practice of paying any premium. The other
transactions are explained in an equally
obscure manner but his general denial will

There is a manifest determination on the
part of Administration managers to make
out a ease of Ku-Kluxism in Pope County,
Arkansas. That region has been peaceable
for years, but, after series of dis
turbances, ex-Gov. Clayton, who is a
mere agent of the Military Ring, con-
triyes to have the impression go out
that the country is ravaged by Ku-Klux, and
he is endeavoring to have Gov. Hadley
secure proclamation of martial law. A
deputy sheriff complains that he has been shot
at. and four prominent citizens are arrested on
suspicion before they can be lodged in jail,
under pretense of an attempted rescue, the
posse kill three of the prisoners. This afro
cious affair is to be made pretext for apply
ing the Force law TO Arkansas; and the people
of Pope County denOunce it as a conspiracy on the
mart of the Grant officials for this very pur
pose.
Additional information concerning the use
of the North Carolina corruption fund is COM
ing out Congressman Beck writes letter TO
the Hon. Thomas L.. Clingman in which he
saws that he found, on inquiry at the Treas
ury Department that $223,OO0 had been drawn
therefrom, nominally for expenses of the
courts in North Carolina; of this amount,
s65.OOO had been drawn within the past sixty
DAYS, and $4,000 within a few weeks. Mr.
Beck very forcibly shows the patent fraud in
this case by recalling the fact that not more
than 5000 has ever been checked at one time
from the Treasury for the purposes for which
Marshal Carrow now takes nearly a quarter
of million dollars. A correspondent of TpE
TRIBUNE, writing from Baltimore, fully ex-
poses the shallow subterfuge used by the Re-
nominationists to justify these extraordinary
expenditures. Even the cock-and-bull story
of Ku-Klux attack ON Capt Settle has not

Ex-Governor Patterson addressed a
letter to a Grant and wilson meeting
in Clymer, Chautauqua county, in
which he said: "Some pretend to be-
lieve that Mr.. Greeley was true and

hold counsel with the rebels there, and
was one Of the leaders in the plot to
prevent the denomination of the la

much money to justify any man in vo-

Inasmuch as Greeley's organs have
accused Hon. Henry Wilson, the Re
publican candidate for Vice President,
of having been q Know-Nothing-
which is not true-it is now in order
to examine Horace Greeley's record
during the memorable Know-Nothing
raid against adopted citizens. Here
are some facts which we commend to
the sober consideration of those of our
German and Irish voters who are be-
ing "roped into" the Greeley meshes !:

The New York Tribune made q
point recently in printing IN illustra-
ton ofhow the Democrats and Liber-
ais "clasped hands across the bloody
chasin." The New York Times now
makes capital point by printing cut
that looks very similar, except that one
hand is marked sTammany'' and the
other ''Greeley." In connection there
with the Times says:
Tweed is working actively for Gree
Icy. So is Sweeny. So A. Oakley Hall.
So is Matthew r. Brennan, who con-
tinues to cheat the city yearly out Of
thousands of dollars. There is not Q
rascal connected with the ring which
SO wickcdly plundered New York wht
is not vitality interested in Greeley,
no respectable Democrat denies.
"All these knaves are well aware
that the election of Governor, and tina,
for Mayor and other local officers
takes place on the same day as The
Presidential election.
'"Greeley's Republican friends mus
vote the entire Democratic ticket, and
IN return the Tammany gang will vote
Tor Greeley.
'vThus Tammany Mayor will be SC.
cured, and Controller Green will in.
stantly be turned out"
And this is the outlook in New York
in case of the success of the ''honest-
and-capable" ticket. Instead of prom.
Using reform, it insures the overthrow
of the reform already inaugulated.

With the disgraceful and terrible
fight in the Capitol District over the
Republican candidacy for Congress we
have nothing to do; but when the
State Register put forth editoriallY the
following statement, naturally enough
our minds reverted to last December
and its damnable conduct then. This
is what it says:
The charges have been made in the
interest of the enemies of the admins
tration. Every blow struck at Mr.
Palmer under this cover is also blow
at President Grant his administration
and the Republican party. If any
Republican can make the charges an
excuse for voting against Palmer he
must also, by legitimate conclusion
oftte same logic, vote against Grant.
When the Register commenced its
wholesale onslaught against Senator
Harlan on the 9th of December, 1871,
two weeks before the assembling OF
the Legislature, it, as subsidized pa
per, did without the shadow of reason
or truth just what it complains of now.
We thought it wrong, basely, rascally
then, and we have no hesitation In
saying that the unwarrantable course
it has pursued will always keep it's
county and district in turmoil.

A prominent Democrat in Bedford,
Taylor county, has written q letter to
the Iosca Southwest, in which he re-
counts the lifelong opposition of Hor-
ace Greeley to the Democratic party,
the hard names the latter has applied
to it, and says:
Now he wants me to vote for him.
III see him did first. Some of my
neighbors say they don't like Greeley,
but they want q change y i
-am not Grant man, but he certainly
has acted more like man than old
Greeley has. If / was going to vote
for either one, I would vote for the
one that fought fair and square, and not
for the one that sneaked behind some
thing where there was no danger"

the Hon. Stanley Mathews gave his
views at length why he supported
Grant and Wilson. Mr.. Mathews was

it inaugurated. His speech is one Of
the ablest we have yet seen. It is too
long for our columns, but we may

found in the Chicago Inter Ocean

we earnestly request that it may be

has dry healthy location on the south
side Of the river, nine miles above OF
tumwa. Although it has some signs
of age, there are some neat dwellings
of brick and frame. The town is said
to do more business now than ever be-
fore in its twenty years history hav-
ing three general stores, one drug
store, one good Touring mill, one saw
mill, blacksmith shop, &c. The M. e.
Church have fine large building here,
and good school house adds another
advantage to the community.
Though the country little below and
above this place is quite rolling, rather
too rough, yet there are many good
farms as is proved by the good build
ings, and abundant crops of corn and
small grain. We thought we had a
bountiful crop of corn last year, but
am well satisfied there will be more
corn raised this year in Wapello coun-
" than last. There are several Swede
families in and about this place, who
generally make very peaceable and in
dustrious people. Southwest of here is

there is Swede church, a blacksmith

are thrifty farmers, not afraid of work,
generally intelligent, and great ma.
