THE LAST RAILWAY CATASIHRO
PUE

The following particulars are given Of the
recent railroad accident on the Pennsylvania
Central, by which five persons were killed
and many seriously injured.
when about mile and a half west of
Mifiin the engineer of the second section in
rounding curve, discovered the red lights of
train short distance ahead. He promptly
applied the air brake and arrested the motion
OF the train. The sudden check however,
parted the coupling between the express and
baggage. The engine and express car dashed
ahead, controlled by the brake of the engine
alone. The accident was the immediate re-
suit of coupling the braking. When the
coupling parted the rear train came easily and
gently to a stand STILL but when the engine
became detached 1t lost the control of the
brakes and flew with lgntning-like rapidity
into the first train, which was running at the
time fully fifteen miles per hour. The result
OF the crash was that the two rear Pullman
cars OF the first train were violently driven
into each other with the fatal results already
stated. The officers of the road are not yet
able to give any opinion with regard to who
/ is responsible for the disaster, but have
promptly instituted searching investigation.

TIGHT ROPE PERFORMANCE

The letter of Senator Schurz to Senator
Thurman in relation to his acceptance of
a place on the Foreign Relations commit
tee at the hands of the democrats, is a
specimen of tight rope walking politically
that displays the peculiar abilities of the
Missouri Senator. He says he is not a
democrat, and yet we are very sure that
he supported them in the last campaign;
he also says that he has not left the repub
lican party, and still we remember him as
President of convention opposed to the
republican party, and speaking in opposi-
tion to It's candidates during the canvass.
If the administration will conduct itself
according to his directions he thinks he
will support it but if it moves counter to
his opinions and wishes it may expect no
fayors of him. He belongs 10 no party,
it appears, but party of one, which we
hope he will find unanimous upon all
questions. We have been somewhat anx-
ious to know how the liberal senators
would bestow themselves after their i'm
mersion in the "tidal wave" We now
have Sumner seeking retirement from
duty on account of sickness, Schurz after
dancing the tight rope plants himself no.
where, while the other gentlemen
conspirators drop into insignificance or
democracy without a murmur of opposi-
ton. Can it be possible that these are
the men who raised such tremendous clat-
ter of Chinese gongs in the early summer,
threatening the republican party with aw-
full destruction if their dictation was not
obeyed? 1t is quite probable they over
estimated themselves before going to Gin
cinnati

THE DIAMOND FRAUD.

The exposure of the great diamond fraud
in Colorado opens up strange chapter OF
rascality. The facts in relation to it are as
follows: Last Spring, two sharp California
"prospectors," Slack and Arnold by name,
made their appearance in San Francisco,
with specimens of rough diamonds that they
alleged were picked up in a locality from
which they had just returned. They offered
to guide thither any agent of persons who
were ready and willing to buy this wonderful
diamond field. Their stories were calculated
to infame the imagination and excite the
cupidity of those who heard. Diamonds
were blazing on the surface of the rocky soil,
or cleaning in the perforated crest OF ant
hill. and in crevices of lodges. Moneyed
men were privately informed of the represen-
tations Of these explorers, who knew enough
to go at once to eminent bankers, capitalists,
and dealers in mining property. Such men
as VIM. C. Ralston, a San Francisco million
aire and Cashier of the Bank of California,
became interested enough to send mining
expert to examine the so-called diamond
fields. Mr.. Henry Janip, on behalf of these
gentlemen, went to the "diggings' with Ar
mold and Slack, and prospected the locality
to which he had been guided. 1t is noticea-
BILE that the cunning discoveries themselves
turned over the soil and picked up the gems
San Francisco operators. Diamonds, rubies,
sapphires, emeralds and garnets in a rough
state were found in considerable numbers
Janin returned to San Francisco, made a
of the representation of Slack and Arnold and
the richness of the diamond fields. The two
worthless sold out their entire claim for
SS5o,000, in gold. The purchasers organ
lied the San Francisco and New York Min
ing and Commercial Company with a capital
stock of 81, $780, 900. The principal stock
holders were w. c. Ralston, Milton s. Lath-
am, Albert Gense, Lewis Sloss, Geo. ID. Rob-
erts, Maurice Dore, VIM. 81. Lent, A.
happening, and d. d. Cotton, of San Fran
cisco; and s. L. NJ. Barlow and Gen. Geo.
Il. Mcclellan of New York. The stock was
not put on the market. but was judiciously
locked up until further developments.
The second examination Of the diamond
ground was made under the supervision of
Clearance King, United States geologist, and
several stockholders, including Janin. Their
report shows that the gems were found on
the surface of the soil or gravel which was Of
less specific gravity than the precious stones !;
that they were in positions where Nature
alone could never have placed them; that
they did not exist where, had their occur
renee been genuine, inevitable laws of Nature
must have carried them; that the whole is
the work of a swindler who knew enough to
select a spot where every geological parallel
ism aided in the deception. This exposure
has been followed by an explosion of the
whole gigantic cheat, and latest dispatches
say that one of the guilty persons has made a
clean breast of the whole transaction. The
gems were bought in Europe, and with them
the ground was ''salted," as miners say, or
stocked to deceive.

THE LOUISIANA STRIFE.

Louisiana is troubled with chronic reyol-
utionary tendencies, like the country from
which this government purchased the ter
ritory. The last case Of difficulty in polit-
cal matters there originated in the late
election, and is between Gov. Warmoth
on the one side and the republican candi-
date for the Office of Governor, who is
Senator Kellogg, on the other
The Returning Board, under the laws of
Louisiana, is composed of the Governor
and four others, on whose examination and
report the vote of the State is declared.
Several persons in the original Board-At-
torney General Heron especially-were
Objectionable to Gov. Warmotb, and, on
one pretext or another, he had them re-
moved. They took legal proceedings,
however, and regained possession max

hostile to Warmoth and the Fusion party
this is known as the Lynch Board. The
Governor then appointed II new Returning
Board; so that there were two sets of cam
wasting officers, known as the Kellogg,
Lynch, or Heron. and the Warmoth
Boards. respectively. Then Kellogg COM
menced suit against Warmoth to restrain
him from declaring the result of the War
moth canvass of the vote Of the State !;
4 temporary order was issued by Judge
Durel of the L. S. Circuit Court in which
the action was brought. In defiance of
that Injunction, Gov. Warmotb, Dec. )
issued his proclamation giving the State to
the Fusionists by a majority of about 5000.
In his proclamation the Governor makes
an argument to show that the grounds of
kellogg's suit are untenable, it being par
ticularly urged by the latter that certain
voters were dsfranchised by the registra
ton officers. That proclamation, of course,
gave the Legislature and State offices to
the Fusionists as well as the electoral vote
to the nominees OF the Liberal party.
The Kellogg Returning Board issued com
missions to the Grant and Wilson Electors
and presumably declared the republican
State officers elected. Kellogg's suit il

Such is history Of the present comph.
cation In Louisiana in which the United
States government is dragged in to keep
the peace. Were it not for wholesome
fear of the arm at Washington the people
of Louisiana, under the lead of their ambi-
tious and interruptions leaders, would in
short time be engaged in blood letting,
unless appearances are deceitful.

SOLDIERS HOMES.

The Board Of Managers of the National
Homes formerly called Asylums) were in
session at Washington last week. There
were present General Butler, President, Gen.
Martindale Of New York, Gov. Smyth, of
New Hampshire, Hon. L. B. Gunckel Of
Ohio, Gen. Osborne of Illinois and DR.. Wall
colt of Wisconsin. A large amount of BUSH
ness was transacted, embracing the reports of
the Auditing Committees of the four Homes,
the reports Of the officers of those homes, and
estimates Of appropriations for the next year
Among the transfers Of officers, Gen. Z. w.
Kinks, now Deputy Governor in command of
of the Home at Hampton, Is to exchange po-
sitions with Gen. Woolley, now deputy Gov
ernor at Milwaukee; while Chaplain Bar.
bour, now at the Augusta Home, is to ex-
change positions with Chaplain Ludwick,
now at the Milwaukee. The continued in
crease of disabled soldiers, filling these homes
as fast as increased accommod atoms can be
provided, makes heavy drafts upon the time
and attention of the managers in receiving
applicants, making and enforcing regulations,
regulating and exercising q general supper
vision. For all this they receive no compen-
sation, as is expressly provided by the act OF
Congress establishing the institution, but they
must derive great satisfaction from the con-
temptation of the results of their labors, by
which many hundred disabled soldiers
are furnished with comfortable homes. The
Board adjourned, to reassemble in Washing
ton on the 4th of March next.
