WASHINGTON, July ID, 1875.
70 the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: If Judge Edmunds meets but poor encour-
agomtnt in answer 10 his circular, he need not be
much surprised, for wh0n goG1 true, tried RepUb-
licans see and know such facts as those am about
to relate they become disguised. There is q
thrd-class clerk in one Of the bureaus ofthe Gov
eminent who, in speaking Of the battle Of Bull
Run, remarked that "he was one Of the boys who
put the Yankees out of the notion that they could
go to Richmond with their dancing shoes ready"
He is now third-elass clerk under Republican
Administration! How much will he give judge
Edmunds to help defeat the rebel Democracy
Again, there is Scotch gentleman in Richmond
who was here on q visit on the 4th instant Mr.
VIM. Murdock Bagnall, who resided in Richmond
twenty years before the war, and whose weII.
known loyalty was 50 30 outspoken and SO obnoxi
to leave the city, and whose kind. noble dssda ~
charity TO our poor, wounded, sick prisoners In
Libby Prison is remembered by many and many
Will recall his cherished name, and whose HffIa
daughter, by whom ne wak ENABLED 10 snuR9le in
SO many little delicacies TO our sick prisoners be-
came endeared TO them as "the little angel"
This gentleman, this tried and faithful friend of
the Union and her defenderrs and whose Republi
esnism was tried 90 severely during the last pres
Ioenas, sasetion and was not found wanting, he Is
ing recognition In Richmond nor here from the
party he has done 90 much for. Your rebel SOL
dier, however, he s Q thind-class clerk "a the
Treasury. Can any man lay II would not be ius.
Iiee 10 turn this rebel out and put In such man
as M BGgnHll7 Bat this is only one Instance:
II is notorious fact that there are Hundreds of
unrepentant, Outspoken rebels In the Government
Departments under Republican Administration.
Positive fact, Mr. Editor. Now, this being the
case can Judge Edmunds wonder If many Repub-
licans, disguised at this state of affairs fail to
answer his polite and reasonable demands? VIII
Then let us 6rst put our house in order, and then

The Memnrial Rrnnrsinna.

The cool and cloudy weather of Monday was 50
unfavorable to excursions that 1t was supposed
by many that II would be necessary to postpone
the fourth Of the memorial series; but It appears
that quite large number prepared to brave the
threatening clouds rather than lose the antici-
pated pleasure. Between one and two hundred
were on board, and this excursion, as well as
those previously given, was marked for its tone
and general GOOD Management. The party
aboard were evidently bent on having good
time, and as the evening proved pleasant after
all it was even more enjoyable to those who did
attend than had more pleasant day brought
out the usual number. Mr.. Jack Olcott took
possession of the bow Of the boat. with certainly
q larger number than his share of the flair ones,
and his general good spirits were the life of that
part of the boat. Those who preferred o more
quiet time assembled in the after deck and cabin.
Among the families represented we noticed DR..
D. Q. Patterson, Hon. Joseph Jockey, Hon. s. s.
Burdette, w. W. Baden, Of the Sunday Gazette,
S. II. Kaufman, Of the Star, Hon. ]. NJ. Nc
Grew, sixth auditor Of the Treasury, Joseph J.
May, Hon. F. A. Richardson, DR.. VIM. Tindall Sc
These excursions are certainly delightful in
every respect, and we'll deserve the popularity
they have gained. The NTH trip will take place
on Monday evening next.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Collision between an Express Train and a
Street Car


Yesterday morning there came near serious re-
suits following a collision between a street car
and a railroad train. About Il:3O o'clock the
Washington train coming south over the Balti-
more and Potomac railroad and street passenger
car No. 3s of the Metropolitan line, came in COL
lision at the intersection Of Virginia avenue and
FOur-and-a-half street southwest. The signal
man was at his post performing his duty, and Mr..
A. q. ID. Harris driver Of the Street car, saw the
alproachiug train and attempted to check his
horse and prevent the accident, but the animal
became frightened, almost unmanageable, and
tried to run away. The driver put down the
break with all his strength, but whether there
was flaw in the iron or from some other cause,
the crane broke letting the wheels free and leaV-
ing him almost helpless in the excited horses
power, who Immediately ran against the engine,
few cuts about the legs. The car collided with
the tender and was laid crossEise the track,
pretty badly damaged, and the driver was thrown
out. He caught his foot between the planking
and rail Of the steam railroad, and one wheel Of
the tender passed over bis heel mashing the lower
part of It.
At the time Of the collision the dryer was using
every effort within his power TO stop the horse
and prevent the accident. He was removed to
DR.. Poulton's office by the train hands, where the
weund was dressed, and he was then taken to
Providence hospital Fortunately there were no
passengers in the street at the time or the re-
suit might have been still more serious Would
1t not be well for the drivers Of the street cars TO
keep greater distance between them and the
passenger trains than is observed on either road
when they come to those avenues and are COM
PEELED TO wait the passing Of trains? By so doing
the chances for accidents Of this kind would be
lessened.

Burning ofa Feed-store.

About three o'clock yesterday afternoon an
alarm Of fire was turned in by Officer Dye, Of the

son 20. By some accident the engines in the
central part OF the city got the alarm rom oox
layed. The flames had become almost beyond

the eXertions Of the men were directed mostly to
saving the stock and protecting adjoining prop
erty. The building was destroyed, and with it q
portion Of the stock and a valuable hay.press.
The loss is estimated at 81, 200 fully covered by
insurance. The fire was occasioned by two little

lessly threw some lighted ones into couple of
bales Of hay, which were standing at the SIDE of

spread to the inhammable material with which it
was stored
