A Train Runs through a Depot Plat
form, Moving ID own a Score of Men.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 30.-As the passenger
train on the Louisville Short Line railroad
due here at S:45 last night, was passing
Eagle Station about fifty miles from this
city, most terrible accident occurred. The
depot platform contained a number Of pas
sengers who had been waiting for the train,
and just after the locomotive and Express
car had passed the switch at that point
safely, it broke and the remaining tears of
the train were swept across the platform,
moving down a number of persons who
were upon it. The Express car was totally
wrecked and caught fire but was speedily
extinguished. Among the casualties were
John McDermOt, postmaster at the station,
badly bruised; George Roswell, several
ribs broken; Joseph Johnson station agent,
leg broken and head badly bruised; Mr.
Hampton a citizen, right foot crushed Off
arm broken in two places and otherwise
badly injured. The two last persons are
not expected to recover. Richard Reeves,
Express Messenger, was slightly bruised.
The latter was brought to this city this
morning. 1t was fortunate the weather
was so inclement, or Otherwise there would
have been much larger number standing
on the platform.

polite. The Senator (Schurz) had de-
nounced all who did not agree with him on
this question, as lacking in craftsmanship
and In comprehension of the spirit of true
republcanism. He (Nye) thought he knew
as much about the history ofthe rebellion and
| OF his country as Schurz did, because hehad
been born here and he submitted that it
was not quite becoming in Schurz to charge
a lack OF craftsmanship upon all the great
men who had dealt with these questions
since the close of the rebellion. Who had
given him authority to teach what the true
spirit Of American institutions was? For
his (Nye's) part he would never consent to
give the rebel leaders the right to take part
in the Government. He would keep them
browsing on the outside till their hair grew
as long as ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and if that
was not craftsmanship, then he did not
know anything about it. [Laughter.1 The
Senator wanted the leading Rebels relieved
so as to bring higher order of talent into
public life at the South, but he would rath-
er have lower order of talent cultivated
in the school of loyalty. As to abuses in
the Government of the Southern States the
people had only themselves to blame for it.
They had soWn the wind and must reap the
whirlWind.
Rchurz's RejOinder.
Mr.. Schurz said he would not reply at
length to Mr.. Nye's speech, but he would
notice one remark-his boast that he was to
the ''manner born," and therefore must
know more of republican institutions than
those who were not. He wished the Sen
ator from Nevada to understand that adopt
ed citizens would judge for themselves.
They had conre here with the desire
to enjoy the blessing of republican institu-
tons, and their desire to maintain them
was by no means less than that of native
citizens, and if the Senator thought they
must follow his. lead ia order to be entitled
to the rights Of citizenship he was tery
much mistaken. He (Schurz) had attempt
ed to learn something about republican in
stitutiOns from Mr.. Nye, but must confess
that he had not found his effort very profit
able.
Mr.. Nye denied that he had said anything
about Schurz not being native born, but the
Senator himself had told the Senate some
time ago that he had been waited here on a
wave of revolution. He (Nye) found no
fault with the wave Qaughter), but he did
wonder upon what meat the Senator had
fed, that he had grown so great as to turn
instructor in the principles Of republican
ism.
Mr.. Robertson gave notice that he would
ask the Senate to sit tomorrow until vote
should be had on the BILL
