SOUTHERN DISORDERS.


AEoAOAOs.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22-The Herald publishes
a lengthy reply of Reverdy johnson to inquir-
les from James Gordon Bennett, asking for his
views on the Louisiana difficulty. johnson
tEinks that the President erred in recognizing
heiiogg, the government originally being mis-.
leu ny the judgment or decree OF the United
STATES District Court of that state. The ques-
tion whether the state government is legiti
mateiJ established, he says,is not judicial but
poIltical one, as was decided 10 the case of
the LOTT rebellion in Rhode Island; but having
recognized the Kellogg government, whether
right or wrong, the Presidents decision was
cnaI, ana there was no legality or justification
To- I0r resort to force or revolution to upset it.
Inc PRESIDENT was bound to put down such an
attempt and to restore the the Kellogg govern
menL, Dut II any of the minor officers under
Ine heiiogg government refuse or neglect to
assume their offices, he says that the President
mas no power to compel them to do so, nor has
ne Tue power to appoint Others to fill their
places. Mr.. johnson therefore thinks that the
pest solution OF the difficulty would be for KEEL
iogs and McEnery and the Lieut.. Governors
TO resign and submit to new election.

BOILER EXPLOSION,
One Man Killed mud Three Others Slight
Iy Injured.

Yesterday morning about o'clock as the
gravel train on the Ogdensburg road was ap-
preaching the Stroudwater crossing, about two
miles from this city, the fireman, Simeon Nc
Donald, noticed steam escaping from the left
side of the boiler. He bent forward to zee
what it was, when, in less than second the
whole top of the boiler was blown off, striking
the engineer, George G. Smith, in the head,
throwing him from the cab, killing him in
stantly The fireman, Mr.. Mcdonald, the con-
ductor, HI. P. Barrett, and the brakeman, j. II.
harrington, all Of whom were in the cab at the
time of the accident escaped with but slight
injury. Mr.. Thomas Nelson, who was tending
the brake ON the rear car, was knocked to
ground by some of the splinters from the boil
er.
The engine was the Ssco, No. 2, aud built
at the Portland Company in 1870. The exp!o-
sion parted the tender from the train, and they
both run some distance before they stopped, the
engine and tender Leading the train several
rods. The section man was near by at the time
of the accident, and at once went to Mr.. Smith,
but fiuding him dead Immediately started for
the city to warn the passenger train OF the &C.
cident. The rail on which the driving wheel
rested at the time of the accident was badly
bent
Coroner Gould was at once notified of the
accident and went out and brought the body of
Smith to the city. The following gentlemen
were summoned as jury to investigate the
case: C. H. Haskell, foreman, George Milliken
J. f. Randall, j. B. Knights, Frank Fox and
r. o. Conant. In company with the coroner
the jury visited the scene of the accident. and
then returned to the city to hear the testimony
of the witnesses. Three hundred feet from the
track lays the top of the boiler, and it must
weigh upwards of half ton. Other parts of
the engine are strewn promiscuously on either
side of the track. An oil can was carried about
four hundred feet and left beside the dinner
pail of the engineer. The jury expected to
have been brought directly back to the city, but
owing to the absence of the Superintendent,
Mr.. Hamilton, they were Obliged to remain
there some time. Mr. Smith, who was killed
leaves wife and child, at North Conway,
where he lived. His age was about %, and he
has been employed on the road about three
years.
The cause of the accident is thought by some
to be defect in the boiler, while others thick
that the water must have been low. There is
said to have been a flaw in the boiler where it
burst.
The coroners jury met in the County Attor-
ney's office at half past three. There were
several witnesses examined, but the jury were
unable to finish the business owing to the late
less of the hour, and they adjourned until
Thursday morning. The evidence obtained
went to show that the water in the boiler was
all right, and that the accident was caused by
flaw in the boiler.
