The Chicago Courier processes to have I'm.
earthed the secret workings of the third term
project. 1t states that during Chandler's re-
cent visit to Detroit he permitted it to be
known that he only accepted the Secretary
ship of the Interior upon receiving evidence
from the President that the position would be
a permanent one; q result, of course, of his
(Gen. Grant's) election to the Presidency for
third term. Active interference in Cuban
affairs is a leading feature of the PLAN 1t is
probable that Secretary Chandler sought to
mislead the people who interviewed him, as it
is generally understood that his sole motive
for taking Delano's place was to further his
Senatorial aspirations, for so chagrined was
he at his rejection by his own State last
winter, that he is now determined to 90 back
to the Senate ii he dies in the attempt. At
the same time, there is little doubt that he is
In accord with the President as to the third
term.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The VARIETIES THEATER.-We were glad tc
note a visible improvement in the audience
at this theater last night over that of the
| evening previous. This troupe is an excel
lent one and deserves to be patronizsd by the
public The performances given by it are
always enjoyable, not only on account of the
individual merits of the artists, but because
the tout ensemble is SO elegant and appropriate.
La Jolie Parfumeuse" was repeated last
evening, with Mile. Geofffoy and Mons De
Quercy in the leading characters. We are
tree to say that we do not remember ever
having heard these artists sing better or seen
them act with more success than they did
last evening. Their voices seemed to be in
splendid condition, and they did not in the
least spare themselves. Niles. Nardynn and
Hosdez and Mons. Duplan are also entitled to
much praise for their admirable rendition.
"La Grande Duchesse" will be presented
this evening for the first time by this troupe.
1t is very strongly cast, and is said to be one
of their best operas.

THE REPORT OF THE CHANGERS EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 18 = The report of
the Executive Committee was discussed
in regard to the business of the diff
ferent agencies. The report says some
cities are doing very large business, and
have in the aggregate millions of dollars,
while in other respects they are unsatisfac-
tory, and fall short of the benefits which
ought to be realized. The commission sys-
tenn Of the order is said to be false in theory
and unjust to members, and therefore in the
minds of the committee, another method of
selling is deemed necessary for the good of
the order.
Such system the committee begs leaves
to submit plans of at future day, and is
satisfied they will meet with general approval
In conclusion, the committee recommends
the employment Of lecturers to canvass the
country and make known the true aim and
objects of the order, thereby correcting the
wrong impressions which now exist in the
minds of many worthy people concerning the
Patrons Of Husbandry.

FRIGHTFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

MHaUsTA, Nov. 18.-A frightful accident oc.
tsxrrod last night on Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, near the Pine House, about
tsysnty.fye miles from Augusta. After the
Hss alar passenger train left Columbia yester-
e3sy afternoon tor Augusta, it was followed by
u amin of empty cars for Augusta. The two
Gzxins rolled along at the rate of about twenty
miles per hour, the one following closely on
Gzse other. The passenger train was about to
sftDp, when the second train came Rushing
along, and the engine telescoped with the
kAfaSes' passenger Car, throwing it and the
smoking car from the track.
A terrible scene followed. The ladies' car
was flled with passengers women and
rAildren were jammed together, wounded
axushed and bleeding
After a few moments confusion, windows
xna doors were broken open and passengers
amerged from the wreck. 1t was then dis
tnsvered that while many were bruised serious
BY hut one life was lost-that of Charlie
Nightingale, bright and loveable child,
about SIX years old, son of VIM. Nightingale,
pf Brunswick. Ga.
The child had but slight wound on the
heed. and seemed to have been steamed to
essath The son of Mr.. Hegesheimer of the
Emitted States Coast Survey, who was in the
rxnnking car, was seriously injured, and will
pcDhably lose an eye. Mr. Dishman, of Balti-
Mnre, commercial traveller, was cut in the
anm, bled great deal, and seemed badly
vsgRnded.
As soon as possible the passengers were res
sasd from the wreck. At last every passen-
,ssI WAS brought from the train except the
1eCs boy whose untimely death is above re-
sous6ed A few hours later an outward train
ssaeAed the spot, and, being unable to pass,
lasonght the passengers on the wrecked train
10 Augusta, reaching the city about hali-past
- O'Clock.
The conductor of the passenger train is
lnna to blame, but there is great feeling
sgainst the men on the other train for crimi-
mai carelessness. Passengers report that the
SElgxneer and conductor could not be found
saesw the accident. The passengers arrived
axs Ii o'clock last night, and every attention
zAs gwen the wounded
The body of little Charlie Nightingale was
CsxrTSed to Brunswick this morning. Mr.. f.
lAshman, of Baltimore, is doing well, and SO
- the son Of MIR. Hegesheimer.
All the other passengers escaped-some
s,iAout scratch, and others with slight
hazses. 1t is almost miracle under the cir.
aszuasannces how any of them escaped.
Az4vsrA, Nov. lS.-Only one death has &C.
sMred from the railroad accident. Mrs.

Burned TO DEATH.

CINCINNATI, Nov. IA jackson, Ohio,
special says, Mrs. Mary Bruce was found
burned to death yesterday near the burning
dwelling of Mr.. Lander. Her skull was frac-
tured, and it is supposed the woman was as
taulted in the house during the absence of
Mrs. Lander, and the building fired to con-
ceal the crime, and that she endeavored to
escape.
But her clothing being in flames she per-
ished outside the burning building
Nathan Lander, son of Mrs. Lander, has
been arrested, but the evidence against him
is wholly circumstantial.
