THE WASHINGTON RING,
which has, during Grants admins

against person and property in this

successor of Grant and Gantism,
There has been nooutrage perpetrated
by the Administration which has not
found q ready.made champion in
Conkling, no scheme of plumber by the
Ring that he has not endorsed, no ras-
cal it coming under the lash of the law
whom he has not tried to save; and,
as one good turn deserves another,
and the patriotism and gratitude OF
that class of fellows has also prac-
teal outlook for favors to come, Boss
Shepherd and his ring, who were
disappointed at tho result of the late
convention here in sending Bowen,
former Mayor of Washington and
their antagonist, to Cincinnati, have
got up an opposition delegation for
Conkling, and are going out to Pork
opolis for the purpose of urging his
nomination for the Presidency, The
fact that such men are Conkling's
supporters is the best indication of
the sort of administration that may
be expected under him, if elected,

Gg Catarrh is a common disease, so COM
mon that snuffIng, splitting, and blowing of
the nose, meet US at every turn on the street.
Your foot slips in these nasty discharges on
the sidewalk and in the public conveyance !;
and its disagreeable odor, coutaminating the
breath of the afflicted, renders them offensive
to their associates. There is the highest
medical authority for stating that with fully
one>halt. if not two. thirds, of those afflicted
with Consumption of the Lungs, the disease
commences as Catarrh in the nose or head,
the next step being to the throat and brou-
chial tubes-lastly to the lungs. How i'm
portant then to give early and prompt a,ten>
ton to Catarrh !! To cure this loathsome
disease correct the system by using Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. which
tones it up. cleanses the blood, and heals the
diseased glands by specific upon them and
to assist. use DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy with
DR.. Pierce's Nasal Douche This is the only
way to reach the upper and back cavities
where the discharge comes from. No danger
from this treatment, and it is pleasant to use

are lying in the cars belonging to the camp of
workmsn who were preparing to rebuild the
bridge.
coRoNER's INQUEST.
A corouer's jury of inquest was sworn in
Shenandoah county, Va, Wednesday. to in
quire into the causes and circumstances of the
deaths of the of the victims of the Bridge
disaster. A verdict has not yet been given.
OTHER PARTICULARS.
The number of persons killed in the ac-
cident of Monday night is greater than by any
previous one on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road or any of its branches. The greatest
fatality by any accident heretofore was that
of the Cheat River Valley in 1858, when a
passenger train running at high speed went
off the track and down the mountain side, the
cars turning over three times in their descent
Eight persons were then killed and several
were wounded. two dying afterwards.
The wreck has been pretty well cleared
away by the wrecking corps of the railroad
company. The company will rebuild the
bridge at once in the most substantial manner.
and it is expected that the work will be COM
pleted in about three weeks. In the mean
time passengers are transferred around the
broken bridge in vehicles, causing but little
de!ay
