ACCIDENT ON THE MORGAN RAIL
RoAD.-Last Sunday noon locomo-
tive with tender and lumber car
were on the track a few miles from
this city, running at great speed. On
the tender and fiat car were sixty la
borers, who were bound for the station
to obtain dinner. The locomotive
aud tender were running backward,
and the fiat car hooked on the COW
catcher. By some unknown cause the
lumber car was thrown from tue track,
the locomotive and tender following.
All the men on the tender were thrown
violently into a ditch, but were not
seriously injured. Those on the fiat
car Jared worse, and most of them
were bruised. Barney Golden's face
was lacerated, and one Of his eyes put
out; Henry Richard was nearly killed,
and fheophile, q Frenchman, was
badly used up, one Of his legs being
broken. They were brought here and
sent to the Charity Hospital. It is
wonderful that no lives were lost.
The men are disposed to blame the
engineer who was in charge of the To-
connective, saying that he ran alto
gether too fast.-N. O. Republican.

DEsPONDENT pEMocRATs.-A spe-
clal from Washington to the Pittsburg
Gazette says;
Leading Democratic politicians here,
since the election, canvassed the sit
uation sufficiently to see that their
recent victories were almost wholly
owing to the failure of Republicans to
go TO the polls, and not in any case
attributable to concessions to Demo-
cratic principles. They admit that
the election returns generally present
the same characteristics-a great dim
mutton of the Republican vote, and
no Democratic increase to speak of.
In New York alone $4,000 voters,
mostly Republicans, absented them
selves from the polls, while the Dem
pcrntic vote showed little or no in-
crease over 1872. when the Republi-
cans swept the State. As in the En-
piro State, 90 with all the others, with
out Z single exception, the Democratic
vote shows very little increase over
that of 1872.

fortunes of young man in Cincinnati,
thus described by one of the Journals

With that indescribable grace and
poetry Of motion which only come Of

long familiarity with a yard stick, he
placed his eyeglasses astride of his
aquiline nose, twirled his cane under

gracefully and lightly stepped right
out Of the car. At first he tried to
catch the car BY running after. it back

his hat over the post office, while he
hoped wildly down the grade. Then
he put both his feet upon level with
the top of the departing car, broke his
cane and pounded the firm, hard bould-
dets with bis. head and eyeglasses,
aud then he tried to slide down the
grade on his shoulder blades, with
only partial success, and finally caught
hold Of the track with his teeth aud
hands, to keep himself from flying to
pieces. The four doctors who dressed
the wounds Of the Young man whose
back was full Of scrap iron and gra vel,
and whose claw hammer coat was
split from tail to collar, and covered
with Vine-street mud and coal tar,

The Freedmen's Savings Bank,

The badly managed banking insti-
tuition known as the Freedmen's Saw
ings Bank, aud which had branch in
situations in various parts of the coun-
try, all reporting to the central bank
ct Washington, collapsed as il well
known, more than a year since. It
was managed by men with the best 81
intentions, but Of insufficient financial
capacity to conduct banking busi-
ness. Bad loans were made, and in
adequate securities were taken. The
failure 10 due to the management 81

gers.
Congress appointed q committee to
wind up the affairs Of the bank, but
they are making Unsatisfactory pro-
gress, and it is apparent that other
measures Of relief must be taken. It
is rumored that bill will be intro
duced, directing the commissioners to
bring suit against the trustees, with
view to holding them personally
responsible for the full amount Of de-
posts. Of what avail such action will
prove remains to be seen. It is GER
tain the depositors have been robbed,
and they naturally look to some one
for redress.
In this connection it should be stat
ed that the managers of the branch
bank in this city were strictly honest
in action and intention. The branch
here was established 10 June 1866.
under the direction of Mr.. C.. S. Sau-
vinet; he was in turn relieved by Mr..
c. p. Stnrtevant in June, 1871, and
not a dollar of the funds of the bank
was ever lost by their investments.
The branch here had az many as 1860
open accounts at one time, and money
an deposit to the amount of $3.50 600 !;
the more is the pity, for the surplus
here was always drawn by the central
bank, eDd the funds of our people
went down with the crash.
As Congress created this system of
banking, and in a measure stood spon-
sor for its integrity, it seems proper
that 1t should iDaugurate some meas
nre Of relief, and it is probable this
will be done.-N. o. Republican.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
The Leading American Newspaper"
FOUNDED By HORACE GREELEY.

In stbe recent elections the people have
declared in favor of honesty in politics and
Independence in journalism. Tie Tribune,
which years ago declared that it was not and
never moro would be q party organ, claims
the verdict, - tho popular vindication ofits
course, and recognizes in the result the
voice of the people for reform and integrity
in government, for candor and Independence
among newspapers. During the campaign
which has just closed tho Tribune has fully
maintained its right to the title of the
Leading American Newspaper" This
position it has earned and retained for the
following, among other reasons:
It publishes all tho news, earlier, moro
fully, and moro intelligently than any other
paper.
It insists on peace throughout tho whole
country, the right of local selfgoyernmont,
and the protection of all CLASSES in tho ex-
orcise Of their just and legal rights.
1t advocates confidence ana good feeling
between North and South, and labors for an
honest and abiding reconciliation.
It maintains fairness and candor toward
all public men and questions, and dignity
and courtesy toward associates and rivals.
It publishes scientific nows, reports, dis
cussiOns and discoveries to . degree of full
ness and accuracy never before attained BY
any paper.
1t gives every week ten or more columns
of the most carefully prepared agricultural
matter during the year, much moro in the
aggregate than the entire contents of any
other agricultural publication, and the
whole forming . department. OF which an
eminent agricultural editor said: 1t Has
done more to mako good farmers than any
other influence which ever existed"
1t has published series Of seiontific and
literary extras which have met wider sale
and moro emphatic popular approval than
any similar publication Of the Kind.
