Sad Coincidence.

WAsHISGToN, August 27.-It is men,
toned as q sad coincidence that the
journey of Hon. T. W. Ferry, President
pro TEN. of the Senate, to Washington
last fall, just previous to the opening OF
the session, was to attend the obsequies
of Vice President Wilson, presiding OFF,
Ger of the Senate, and that his jour
ney home at the close of the seS-
sion was with the remains Of
Speaker Kerr, presiding officer of the
House of Representatives. The action
of Terry in delaying his departure from
Washington when he received intelli-
gence of the death of Mr.. Kerr, in order
that he might pay his tribute of
respect TO the dead statesman,
and accompany his remains to their
final resting place, is spoken
of as appropriate, and the many friends Of
the deceased express their appreciation
of the thoughtful course OF the presiding
officer of the Senate.
Secretary Cameron will return here
this week, but will leave again early in
September, in company with General
Sherman, for tour OF inspection OF the
Fort Lesvenworth military prison and
the various military posts in the west.

ALITrLE INCIDENr.

.The Republican party, true to its In
.tincts snd practices, have nominated
,r Governcr of New York EDWIN ID.
MORGAN. This MORGAN is known and
proved corruptionist. One fact, which Is
familiar to our readers, is enough TO re-
mind them rs To who +. ID. MoRGAN is.
About ten years ago, it will be re-
membered, the Democratic and
Republican parties were evenly
divided in the House of Assembly in the
.,ste of New York. 1t was important to
Republicans to have the organization.
MORGAN was q candidate, we believe, at
the time for the Senate. He is immensely
rich and immeasursbly unprincipled; so
he put out detectives to try to find man
among the Democratic members who was
As low 8 scoundrel as himself. One CAL
LICorr, of Brooklyn was fixed upon
IS the purchase. He was TO be
made Speaker and received large sum
of money in addition, if he would be-
tray mis- party. The bargain was struck
snd closed. CoLLICoTT was made
Speaker by his own vote, and check Of
f. d. MORGAN payable to his order, was
found, in the investigation which fol-
lowed, among his papers at bank. CALI
Corr was afterwards sent to the peniter-
,isry where he doubtless is yet for thieyery
and corruption, ana MORGAN is made
the Republican candidate for Governor.
FITZPATRICK wrote to HAYES that
money was necessary to carry Indiana.
HAYES wrote to THURLow WEED that
MORGAN had plenty of money to spend
Tor the purpose, and ought to he nomi
nsled for Governor of New York.
WEED showed the letter to the delegates
10 the Convention; and MORGAN WAS
nominated.

The Mtsili0encer is overhsuling Sens-
tor HENRY q. DAVIS public record, and
flds that be voted for some of. the Radl-
csl measures while member of the Leg
stature ten or twelve years agO-hence,
he is untitled to be reelected to the
United States Senate. As the editor of
the hteihQeneeT advocated and applaud
ed the passage ofthese same measures at
the time, we are rather surprised
10 find him srraigning any gen.
llemsn for votes cast in accordance
with hIs wishes and advice at that time.
However, long since those votes were
cast by Mr.. DAVIS, and with full
knowledge oI nj! he had done, Demo-
cratic Legislature unanimously chose
him as a Senator it, Congress and so
!ar S. We have heard, he has been none
the less useru! e. he state and country
by virtue Of having at one time acted
with wha, was hnown as the nion
party"
We aPprchcnd that the question for
the next Democratic Legislature
OF West Virginia TO consider in
this connection, will be, not what was
Mr.. DAVIS political status during the
war and Immediately after Its close, but
rather what has been his politi-
ca! course, and Of what degree of useful
ness has he been, since he has occupied
seat in the Senate? If be has shown
himself untrustworthy; if he has been
incompetent; il he has been negligent Of
the public interests, the Legislature will
probably endesvor to select more COM
Petent, more trustworthy, and q more
industrious and attentive representative.
The lHts.Ligsneer, in another article, on
he nomination of Mr.. MARTIN for Con-
g'ess IN the Second District, says:
The REGISTER ia q Henry &. Davis
paper, and manifests delight over Mar
TINS nomination"
The REGISTER is in no sense HENRY
IT, DAVIS paper; yet it is delighted at
the nomination of Mr.. MARTIN, because
II believes that gentleman to possess the
ability, purity of character and industry
10 make valuable member of Congress.
!nregsrd TO the Senstorship,the REGISTER
expects to give the claims OF every can
dids,e for that important position fair
sId candid consideration; but it does
no;propose to champion the pretensions

A Fiend Arrested.

BUFFALO, August 27.-George Adams,
who successfully played the role of hero
in the late averted railroad disaster on
the 2Oth inst, at Fairport, has been ar
rested here and confessed that he mis-
placed the switch which threw the train
from the track on the Lake Shore rail-
road on the llth inst, whereby the en-
gineer and fireman were badly scalded
and the engine wrecked. On the 10th he
drew the spikes from the ties and joints,
throwing the train down the bank,
wrecking the engine, three passenger
coaches and the baggage and postal cars,
and killing w. E. Clemens, conductor
OF the Great Western railroad. Adams
pleads in extenustion his intention to
notify tho train in time to avert the acci-

ny under obligation to furnish him sit
uation.
