Hon. Jefferson Darts AMI the
United States Senate.

Now that it is plain that Mississippi
will elect Democratic Senator to sue.
ceed Mr.. Alcorn, it behooves us for some
able citizen to represent us Amnng the
names mentioned is that Of the dis.
tlnguished soldier and statesman whose
name is seen at the head Of this article.
We believe that the Washington Chroni-
cle is the first journal that mentioned
Mr.. Davis name in this connection, and
did it to taunt the Democratic party at
the North. A Cincinnati paper followed
the lead of the Chronicle, and thus 10y ac-
cldent prominence was gwen to "A subject
that should not have attracted the least
notice.
There are many, many reasons why
Dir. Davis can never represent the people
Of Mississippi again in the National Con
gress. The first is that he is not now.
and has not for years been citizen of
the State. His disabilities have never
been removed; he has determined never
to enter public life again. and would not
serve If chosen. Then. if all these diff
ticulties were removed. it would be very
bad policy to send Mr.. Davis to the Sem
ate for, although the war ended when
the North-aided by Europeans, Mon
golians, and Africans whipped the
South. this State is, to certain extent,
looked upon rs province. and as a very
suspicious province at that. We have
long since forgiven the North for licking
us, but the North has never quite for
given us for being SO internally hard to
lick. This being the case, and Mr.. Davis
being among the unforgiven, sending
him to the United States Senate is not
to be thought of for moment, The
logic of this position is not ut all les
sened by the ex-President's ability and
for these make him more
Objectionable than if he only equalled
the common run of Northern Senator's
Ticksburq Herald.

\ Wheat Corner constitutes the
leading excitement just now atMilwau-
kee, Wisconsin. The corner is being
managed by several shrewd operators,
VINO are assisted by capital furnished
by Chicago and eastern capitalists. The
shorts include some of the heaviest
dealers in the market, who have here
tofore sold long and been considered
the kings on change. The total con.
tracts on which the shorts are caught
cover nearly 600, coo bushels, and
they will be compelled topay margin
of ten 10 twelve cents. The managers
of the corner keep it good by ship.

largely oa the daily receipts, and the
strength OF the corner is sustained by
the almost certainty that the receipts
cornot be large enough to break tn

Few tragedies better deserve the
name of horror" than that which
transpised bat y few DAYS ago on the
railroad near Gopfritz, Austria. At
few minutes past one in the morning
as train of fourteen carriages with
12S passengers, was crossing n bridge
some forty feet in height, the engine
ran from the rails and plunged into the
chasm, dragging all but orc car with
il. About dozen passengers were
killed and rs many more seriously in
jured the others, wonderful to relate
for the cars were heaped upon each
other and smashed TO fragments) escap-
ing with but slight wounds or bruises
The engineer and stoker were crushed
to jelly and the chief guard decapita-
ted. \ mail clerk was fatally scalded
though death did not release him for
several hours, during which he lay
beneath the ruin, audibly lamentinr
the fate of his family and entreating
for water, which could not be convey
ed TO him. A pregnant woman, whose
mothers brains were dashed out by an
iron bar by her side, escaped uninjured,
and gave birth to her child while yet
entangled in the wreck. Examination
showed that the slaughter was not the
result of an accident, for hands ac-
customed to railroad work had removed
the nuts and bolts from five rails on
one side of the curve, and then placed
the rails back upon the track So that it
appeared safe and untouched. The
affair is all the more horrible because
but little while before three attempts
had been made in precisely similar
manaer to wrech trains on another
rOal

NEW YORK.

New YORK, February l2.-It is stated
that at least one railroad line running
from this city to Chicago has made con.
tracts to carry freight West at the rate of
fifteen cents per one hundred pounds,
the contract rate for freight from Balti-
more to Chicago. Since q week ago the
Saratoga combination fixed the rate at
one dollar per one hundred pounds.
Communication with Brooklyn is sus-
pended, owing to the accumulation Of
ice in East river. Brooklyn, in conse-
quenee, has a monopoly of to-day's de-
velopments in the Tilton.B eecAer trial.
A telegram from Brooklyn states that
on the opening of the City Court this
