The later reports of the collision Oh the Bal
timore and Potomac Railroad Monday evening
place the responsibility on the engineer of the
train out of Washington, who, according to his
OWL statement, forgot that another train
had the right to the track over which he was
running. The conductor AYERS that he pulled
the gong to stop the train; the engineer is posi-
tive the gong did not sound; but however that
may be, there is 90 doubt as to where the
blame lies. The most seriously Injured person
was conductor Buchanan, but he will recover.

Deputy Marshal Young, who had arrested
MIR. Calhhan, defaulting postm aster, at
jackson, and reached Bayou Sara, on his
way hither, was taken from his hotel, in
that village, Friday night, together with
his prisoner by men who were masked, and
roughly handled, some of the facts concern.
Jug which we published, Sunday morning.
Mr.. Young has arrived here, and confirms
the e.a:ements. He says that the masked
men took him and his prisoner from his
bedroom, and told the ex-rJstmaster to
mount horse and ride Of, Ca' .an went
TO Jackson; but, realizing the & -'icacy of
his position, proceeded to Port Huuson, an d
took the fret boat for the city.
Mr.. Young states3bat his assailants we're
armed and took his money from him. After
questioning him about things in general on
the lepee, they permitted him to 90 free
He soon after succeeded in getting on a
steamboat, bound for New Orleans. On
arriving here lie was surprised to learn that
Callihan, the ex-postmaster, had got here
before him and surrendered. Callihan
declares that he knows nothing of the
masked party, and that he came here of his
own free will.
This statement is doubtless true. The
armed marauders turned him loose out Of
sheer contempt of law and authority, as
represented by the Marshal's deputy. That
matters are rapidly going from bad to
worse in West Feliciana, is shown by the
following dispatch, received last night by
Marshal Packard:

Marine Items.

The steamship Australian steamed over
from Algers yesterday afternoon, and is
now lying a. the head of Josephine street,
preparing to sail for Mobile.
This splendid ship has proven herself one
of the most staunch iron hulls atoat. After
having been banged along the coast of
Texas and driven almost high and dry in
the late hurricane, she is tloated off. and
holds her shear intact, in fact, has no sign
Of wrenched or cracked plate about
her. While on the beach she served as a
home and shelter FOR many OF the destitute
Texans for several days, thereby proving
the force of old adage, that ''its an III wind
that blows nobody COED"
Captain Sherman, an old New Orleans
trader and formerly master of the ship
Success, arrived on Wednesday in a first
class ship just off the stocks and called the
Raphael. She was built at Freeport, Maine,
at a cost of $4,000. And will carry about
5000 bales of cotton. The Raphael brought
out come 80 tons of hay, great portion
of which cost sl7 in Maine.
The schooner NJ. T. Bryan have Just
Hrived from Philadelphia with cargo OF
iron bridge material for the Mobile and Texas

work will be ordered.

The California Rnces,

The Pacific Jockey Club is most in genious
| ly defended by the San Francisco Chronicle
| The club created sensation in the sporting
world by offering purse of $4,000 in gold
coin, to be contested for by fast horses on
| the twelfth day of November. 1t brought to
| the Pacific coast such horses as Springbos
Rutherford Wildidle and Revenue but
| from that day 10 this there has been no
| race, and there is no prospect that such a
purse will ever be run for. Postponement
| after postponement was made. First Athe
track was bad, then Thanksgiving day was
selected then Christmas day, and it has
been given out that the horses had the epi-
zooty, and that the owners were perfectly
satisfied that the race should not come off.
1t appears that the club was not governed
by American jockey club rules, else post
ponement on account OF weather would
have been to the FIRST good day and track :"
The pos.pon ement to specified holidays
gives the impression that the race was
to be like prize fight, only for gate money,
and the glory of the Pacific turf suffers
fall at the thought. Now the Chronicle SAYS
the conditions Of the entries have never
been fulfilled; the advertisement specified
that five horses should be entered and it is
stated that only four real entries were
made. Nothing was said of this when the
postponemonts were first made. The na.u-
ber of horses entered was only important
to the club, because the entrance fee was
$4,000; the public would have been satisfied
to see three horses run; but $4,000 taken
as entrance fees for horses, and $4,000
taken at the track as gate money, would
have filled the $4,000 club purse much
easier. Now as the owners do not complain
at the failure Of the great race, there is q
suspicion that no entrance fees have ever
oeen paid, that the pnrse was imaginary,
and that the whole business was a comb.

A Pleasant Catherine.

The visit 10 this city Of the distinguished

Dias on his right and Senator Pinchback on
his left. In beaming beakers of Krug were
toasted to the distinguished guests aud
fitting reponses made. Aside from the
passing compliments, the speakers seemed
to dwell upon the urgency of improved
trade relations between the United States
and her sister republic, and upon the moral
commercial logic in favor of Cuba's speedy
liberation. General Dias, Consul Martinez
and Messre. Pnchhack, Burch and Burwell
were several times called to their feet in be-
half of these suggestions while Messrs
Trelles, Trevigne and Ruby utilized their
talent as linguists in aid of those who did
not comprehend the language of the speak
ers.
A pleasant hour passed at the board of
the Lieutenant Governor, when the party
accepting the invitation of Senator Burch
adjourned to the residence of the latter,
where they received courtly welcome
from the amiable host and his accomplished
lady.
The little reunion was evidently very
agreeable to General Dias, and he was made
to feel what warm hearts beat in American
bosoms for political brothers of another
name and tongue.
