Terrible Railroad Accident the Result
of Villains work.

VI - NzDEAAs
CHICAGO, June PA terrible acci-
dent occurred near Farley, Iowa, on the
Iowa division of the Illinois Central
railroad. About midnight ON the night
Of the twenty-fifth instant, as the west
ward bound freight train entered small
cat and was going down small grade,
rail about ten feet in length being dis
placed precipitated the entire train from
the track with such force as to hurl the
freight cars in the rear of the engine,
and on top and over the engine, instantly
killing the engineer and fireman, and
completely wrecking seven cars. The
body of George It. Ulyson, the engineer.
was horribly mutilated, as was also that
Of Reese Anderson, the fireman. An
examination showed beyond doubt that
the rail had been purposely removed by
some scoundrel.

Railroad Matters Discussed.

ST. LOUIS, June 27.-The convention
of general superintendents and ticket
agents of western and southern railroads
met here to-day and had an informal
conference on the pass system, and the
classification of a freight tariff for gen.
eral adoption between common points
both east and west of the Mississippi
river. The subject of commissions on
tickets will also be discussed. The con-
ference will be made public. After q
lengthy discussion of the free pass sys-
tenn, it was decided to take no definite
action till an adjourned meeting, to be
held July oath, or TIL it is aseertained
how the Chicago ARA cement works.

CHICAGO, June 2T.-Another confer

question oil the abolition OF the pass sys-
tenn. 1t appears that the signatures to
the agreement entered into at the re-
cent meeting here on the subject were
provisions in that agreement are not in
dorsed BY all the parties to it. After q
long discussion a new agreement, differ
ing somewhat from the original one, was
submitted, but it did not prove satisfac-
tory to all concerned, so the matter is
still unsettled.

The Haymaker's W ooing.
BY RUTH LEE.

One summer fair Katie and I in the meadow
Were merrily stirring and tossing the hay,
Till crimson top clover and timothy blossom
Together were breathing their sweetness away.
Of course, it was only for sport and the frolic;
You knew by the way that she handled the
fork,
That haymakers' art and their collntry-learned
wisdom
Have never been taught in the city of York
Her hands were as soft and as white as the lilies,
Mine hardened and brown by their toll in the
But bravely she kept in the wake of the mowers
I'LL al OF her self-imposed labor was DONE
The hay was all gathered in winrows and wait
For farmer Johns oxen, and hayers to load,
When homeward we turned, as the sunset was
With beautiful shadows the maple-lined road
She talked ofthe things she had known in the
city,
spoke of the loye of the woods and the glen,
While the eyes of the maiden, in spite of my
hOmespun,
Revealed that she thought me a prince among
men.
And then, in the twilight, told her the story
scarcely could tell for my lovelike tears
How long had dreamed that the love of my
darling
Would crown with new gadness the swift
coming years.
Her answer was low, and the birds, if they listen
ed
Heard words that were true and so tender in
tone,
That I knew we should travel life's pathway to-
gether,
Since neither was willing to journey alone
The years in their fitting have stolen the roses
That boomed on her cheek and the gloss from
her hair,
But dearer to me than my bride in her beauty
Is Katie. the matron. still lovely and fair.
Tis haying time now and our K atie and Johnny,
With shouts of wild laughter, are crowning
the load
That over the meadows our oxen are bringing
Just through the wide gapby the maple-Gned
road.

We think the wisest thing the negroes could
do would be to disregard the advice of such men
as Hughes ard vote with the whites for their
candidate. No matter how the negroes vote
Conservative triumph is certain. The whites
and it would be much wiser in the negroes to
propitiate that majority than uselessly antago-
nize it. But how can Hughes be eected2 IF
elected at all, it must be by combination of
the negroes with the lowest class of white men.
1t would be not only victory of the black over
the white race, but q triumph of the spirit of
.agrarianism. The reign of the Commune would
be inaugurated. ALI the sacred monuments of
wisdom inherited from the past would be ruth
lessy torn down by therabble, and Hughes and
bis negroes would hold high carnival in the halls
once filled with Virginia statesmen Warren

The Organ of the Virginia Radicals.

The action of the Virginia Radical State
Committee in making the Washington Nation
al Republican their party organ is by no means
complimentary to the Virginia Radical papers.
It is equivalent to saying that they are not wor-
thy to be recognized as such. This action is
iu keeping with the whole course of that party.
The leaders being themselves for the most part
outsiders, their whole trust and faith are re-
posed in outsiders. Nothing in Virginia, not

The White Mans PARTY.

The Conservative party is the white man S
party, says the Richmond Enquirer, not be-
cause it makes aggressive opposition to the
black man, but because there are no negroes 10
it and there are no negroes in it because it is
in favor of white men at the head of affairs in
the State. It is not a party Of prescription.
1t makes no war upon the recognized rights of
the colore6 race under the constitution. On
the contrary it sustains them and protects them
in the exercise and enjoyment of those rights
But it does deny that the negro ought to be
in the ascendeDcy; and it does assert that the
white man should be supreme in the councils
+ of this Common wealth. Ii is the party Of lib
erality, of justice of generosity, of liberation,
of enlightenment and of progress. 1t was orr
ginated in Virginia and it is made up of Vir-
ginians; and when we say Virginians, we mean,
DOT only natives, but men from the North, the
South, the East, the West, and from foreign
lands, who have come here, and settled here,
as citizens Of our State.
Virginia, since the war, has shown wisdom
worthy the peculiar circumstances in which she
was placed by the results of the war worthy
herself as she was before the war. She inau-
gurated six years ago grand political organiza-
ton free from all past party associations free
from all prejudicss; free from all extremes !;
free from all excesses. And that organization
we predict. will yet prove to be the nucleus of
a national party in which the patriotic men,
the moderate men, the white men who are for
white government, will be marshalled through
out the country for the safety of the Republic.

Humbug.

The Virginia Radicals and their outside allies
claim, says the Rich. Wing, that the success
of their ticket will insure the influx of capital
and immigration, the development Oh all our
material resources, and such prosperity as was
never before known in our Commonwealth -
This all sounds well, but let US test it by the
experience of other States. Louisiana has been
ruled by the negroes and carpet-baggers for
some years; SO has Mississippi, and so has
South Carolina Have capital and immigration
flowed into them have their resources been
developed, their industries built up and have
they been blessed with prosperity? On the
contrary, they have been impoverished and
ruined. High taxation-amounting almost to
confscation- repelled immigration and pre-
vented the investment of outside capital while
anarchy aud discord have ragged throughout
their borders.
Let Virginia fall under Radical sway, and her
condition will soon be that of the unfortunate
Commonwealths referred to.

Of cadaverous mules which stood among the

front seat of the vehicle sat little wease-faced

book, in which he made entries, as from time
to time be received small packages of dirty
shin -plasters from the bystanders. Behind
him reclining at full length, was big, burly
negro, whose feet (literaliy foot each) were
elevated 50 that they almost brushed the ears
of the little man in front. Amazed at this ex-
traordinary exhibition, | asked gentlemanly-

share in the selection of the officials who gov

seems TO be doing the busiuess?" "He is
