FrightfuI Railroad AecIdent-Thirty.
Five Killed and MANNED.
A terrible railroad disaster occurred this
morning on the New Jersey Midland Rail-
road. The train leaving Patterson for
Hackensack at A. N. was passing over
Saddle river bridge, two and half miles
above Hackensack, when the structure sud-
denly gave way, hurting the train into the
water below. John r. Doremus, brake
man, was instantly killed. The baggage
master, name unknown, had one leg broken,
and passenger was injured in a similar
manner. David Blankett, conductor, was
badly bruised about the head and is in
precarious condition. Isaac Wastendey,
Probate Judge of Bergen caunty, was ter
ribly injured, and twenty-five or thirty pas
sengers were taken from the wreck in
more or less injured condition. Had the
water in the river been at its usual depth
none of the passengers could have escaped.

The EUening Post says that the reform

anything he did before il met.

Terrific Rain and Thunder Storm

Terrific Rain and Thunder Storm
The Town Flooded.
Special Correspondence Union and American.
LEBANON, Tenn, April 9, 1872.-Our
city has again been unfortunate. On yes
terday evening we had most terrific rain
and thunder storm from 4 O'Clock until
some time after dark. The fall of rain was
almost unprecedented, the play Of electri-
city sublime and continuous, and the
thunder-peals deafening and awful. Such
storm would be more seasonable in July
or August than April.
Lebanon is situated on a wet weather
creek, which drains large area of country,
and is, in times of heavy rains, quite large
and rapid creek. On West Main street
arches have been built over this creek and
upon these arches buildings have been erec-
ted. The fall Of rain was so great
as to swell the creek beyond the
capacity of the acqueducts under the arches,
and the water found its outlet through the
houses on and about the square. At about
I o'clock the square was covered with sew
eral feet of water. The business houses
and dwellings in that portion of the city
were involved by the turbid stream and
their first floors submerged; carpets were
hastily taken up and quick retreat made
to the higher and dryer apartments. At
about 10 o'clock the flood receeded to its
natural channel, leaving thick coat of mud
and trash on the floors and pavements.
The bridge on West Main street was badly
washed up, and the streets generally OBJ
structed. The room built in rear Of Mr..
LEAFS grocery, projecting over the creek,
and occupied by him, fell in, causing some
damages to him. The inconvenience and
cost of cleaning up have been considerable;
otherwise we have not learned Of any
heavy damage to private property. x.

THE CTNCTNNATT CONVENTION.

The Cincinnati Gazette (Republican) de-
votes long editorial to the Liberal Repub-
lican Convention to be held at Cincinnati
on the first of May, and its criticisms are
not unfriendly to the purposes for which it
is assembled. 1t says: "It is in reality an
assembly of Republicans who are opposed
to the reelection Of Gen. Grant, and TO the
spirit Of his administration, and who are
themselves of widely different opinions on
some of the leading questions of domestic
policy" And it adds:
'It seems probable that the convention
viii have a large attendance, and pretty
general representation Of the parts Of
the country, and that it will be able
to organize upon a rule Of fair repre-
sentation for del beration. As to the pOpu-
lar strength of Republicans represented by
it, we doubt if any one cal give much in
formation. Probably its own leaders will
grant taat il viii depend chiefly on the wis
dom Of the acts Of the convention, and on
the probabilities which these will give Of
combinations that viii promise success"
The Gazette in referring TO a doctriual
point thai might disturb The harmony OF
the Convention, and which at one time it
was thought might cause an irreconcilable
antagonism, says "the obstacle has now
been removed by a public declaration
signed by Mr.. Greeley and others, relating
to this Convention, to the effect that the
object of a tariff is revenue, and the
Federal taxation should be so laid as to be
the least burden on theSindustry Of the
country ''This," the Gazette adds, '.seems
TO remove the doctrinal impediment, ard to
bring all parties to probability Of an agree
ment on the declaration of purposes put
forth by the Missouri Convention Of Liber-
ais, embracing amnesty, tariff reform, civil
service reform, and other reforms. Some
of the most prominent of the Liberals have
subscribed to something equivalent to this
declaration"

GREAT BRITAIN.
.GIndstone,s IrIsh Policy.

LONDON, April lO.-A deputatiOn from
Belfast, Ireland, waited on Gladstone to-
day and presented to him an invitation
bearing the signatures Of 5000 of its citi-
zens to visit that city, accept its hospitalities
and deliver an address. The document
handed to Gladstone partly recognizes the
great SCI vices rendered by him to Ireland
and its people.
The Premier in response took occasion
to speak at some length in explanation and
defence of his Irish policy and expressed a
strong wish for the welfare of Ireland. He
said it would be great deprivation if he
should find himself unable from pressure of
public duties to visit Belfast. He closed by
accepting conditionally the invitation as that
of the whole rather than portion Of the
people OF Ireland and said he would COM
municate at future time with the deputa-
ton as to the time of his visit.

HOUSE.
The FrankIDg Privilege.

Mr.. Hill, from the Postoffice Committee,
reported bill abolishing franking privilege
from and after July, 1878, and proc eeded
to address the House in advocacy of it.
Mr.. Carroll opposed the bill, arguing that
the abolition of the franking privilege was
anti-republican in its. tendencies and effect,
and would bring about the ruin of the Re-
public. He moved an amendment except
ing petitions to Congress and public docu-
ments.
Mr.. Potter regarded the bill as a bum
combe measure, and suggested that if it
were to pass it should be amended so as to
require the Departments, and the Clerk of
the House and the Secretary of the Senate
TO be furnished with stamping machines
for public mail matter. He offered that as
an amendment.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts, opposed
the bill, and said that the outcry for it came
only from the Metropolitan press that was
anxious to be the only organ of communi-
cation between the people and their repre-
sentatiyes. The Metropolitan papers were
anxious TO crowd out and crush out down
the small local papers throughout the coin
try and to have in their own hands the char
acter and fame and position of every public
Ilhlly oO Illdb D1 kilCIA dSoOSldGCO csLAlo
and their associated ISLANDERS and scandals
they can crush down public men. He had
voted for like bill in Congress, but with
the same understanding on which all other
members had done so, that the Senate
would not pass it and that it would be all
right. [Laughter.l
Mr.. Sarge moved that the bill and
amendments be recommitted.
Mr.. Holman-With power to report at
any time.
Mr.. SARGENT do not consent TO that.
Mr.. Holman-I call for the yeas and nays
on the motion to recommit because that
kills the bill.
Mr.. Sargent-The bill is in such posi-
ton now that the House cannot pass it till
it i disentangled.
The yeas and nays were not ordered,
only thirteen members rising to order them;
and an effort to have tellers appointed on
yeas and nays was also a failure, at which
there was much laughter in the House.
The bill was then recommltted.
Schenek.
Mr.. McCrary, from the Committee on
Elections, mace an adverse report Oh the
petition of certain voters to take testi-
tlCCilOLl,
case of Mr.. Schenck against Mr., Campbell;
laid ON the table.
Civil Service Reform,
The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the Senate amendments to the
legislative, executive and appropriation bill.
There was a long discussion on the ques-
ton of appropriating $4,000 for the ex-
penses of the civil service reform system.
The debate, which was generally adverse to
the proposed reform, was carried on by
Messrs. Garfield, Butler, of Massachusetts,
Willard, Maynard, Coburn, COnger, Pot
ter, Dawes, Beck, McCrary and Sargent
The remarks of Messrs. Garfield, Dawes
and Willard were in favor of the proposed
reform system. No vote was taken on the
proposition, when the committee rose and
the House adjourned.

tice from New York of what was to be
presented before the House. The papers
Brooks had to present was the correspond
ence OF private secretary of Gen. Butler
with the President Of the Union Pacific
hoad, informing him of what was coming
on Monday. The objection made by Gen.
Banks to the reading Of the evidence

The Kansas Senators.
When the newspapers of the country
were first loaded with charges of corruption
against Pomeroy and Caldwell in obtaining
their present seats, both of these Senators
arose In their seats and, after repellng the
charges with proper scorn and Indignation,
proceeded to state that they had no other
foundation than mere newspaper rumOr, and
then asked for special committee of in
vestigation. Of course, under such cir
cumstances, the Senate did not consider It
necessary to comply with this request,
but, however, several authorized copies
OF the report Of the Investigating Commit
tee Of the Kansas Legislature on the
Senatorial election Of last winter were re-
ceived in the city, and among others were
sent to Vice President Colfax, and both the
Kansas Senators. In order to be first to
give notice of the arrival of this report,
which was sent by the Governor of the
State, under resolution of the Legislature,
and to direct its reference subsequently,
Pomeroy stated to-day that, having re-
ceived what might be considered an official
copy Of the results of the investigation, and
supposing that the Vice-President had also,
he would move its reference to the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections, which was
done without objection. There is large
delegation here from. Kansas, who insist
that this reference to standing commit
tee Of the Senate, will stite
the proposed investigation. What
they desire is the appointment of a special
committee, who shall have power to send
for persons and papers. They claim to be
able to produce witnesses who will testify,
of their own knowledge, that ColdWell paid
upward of 100000 to secure his election
last winter, and also to substantiate the
charges which appear in the report against
POmeroy. The latter Senator had nothing
to say to-day with reference to his former
resolution calling for a special committee,
nor did his colleague. An effort will vet
be made to have special committee ap-
pointed, SIS only by this means can there be
a thorough and impartial Investigation,

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Mr. Sherman
moved to refer to the Committee on Privil-

turning to the Senate the tariff bill. He said
that the power of the Senate to amend
revenue bill in any way it thought best had
been disputed now for the first time in the
history of our Government. The Commit
tee on Finance had considered the subject,
and had agreed unanimously that the Sen
ate had the same right to amend a revenue
bill as to amend any other bill, but as the
rights and privileges of the Senate were in
volved they thought it best to refer the matter
to the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
