THE LATE APPALLING RAILROAD
ACCIDENT.

Baltimore papers received yesterday
morning furnish fuller and more inter
esting details of the dreadful railroad ac-
cident which occurred on the uarper's
Ferry and Valley branch of the BaIti-
more and Ohio railroad, at which Mr.
I. II. HoDGsoN, of Berkeley Springs
lost his life, and particulars Of which APP.
peared IN these columns Wednesday
morning. As then stated, the accident
occurred ut the Narrow Passage, point
three miles south of Woodstock, the
county seat of Shenandoah county, Vir-
ginia. An entire span of a bridge over
an abyss ia feet deep gave way, preclpi-
tating the entire train TO the depths be.
low. Regarding this bridge, the Sun
says that formerly the bridge over
Narrow Passage was an insecure and en-
ceeding'y dangerous affair, but after that
portion ofthe Manassas Gap railroad be.
tween Strasburg and Hsrrisonburg, and
upon which this bridge was located, pass
ed into the hands of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, the best engineering skill
was brought into requisition, and the
bridge was placed in such a condition as
was supposed would meet the require
ments of the heavier engines and car,
which were placed upon the road
But it Is very strange how, under these
circumstances, the whole structure should
have been SO rotten, and yet have escaped
the attention of the engineers. There
must have been wanting two thing,
either carelessness of inspection, or lack
of engineering skill, either of which was
evidence of culpable neglect, and if there
are many such bridges IN the world.
then no traveller can feel safe. 1t was
specially necessary that care should have
been exercised in this instance, it being
the most dangerous point on the road,
and how in the world there should have
been trace of life remaining either
among the passengers or live
stock beng transported, after they
were hurled down on rocks from height
of ia feet exceeds belief, yet out of
eighteen passengers, seven had life re-
naming, and many of these were not
fatally injured. 1t is a story which
makes one shuider to think of, and it is
devoutly to be hoped that 10 such an
other will have to be told at least in
this'generation.

SPECIMEN BLISTER.

On Tuesday next, the annual State
election occurs in New Hampshire, and
in view Of recent events, more than
usual exertions have been put forth by
the Republicans to do away with the
effects of the doings of BELKSAP ct al.
Hence numerous speakers have been for
wsrded to that State to try the powers of
oratory upon the intelligence of
the voters. Among these orators
was Governor OGLESBY, who at
the final Republican meeting Of
the campaign Tuesday night appeared
as the principal speaker, and how he re-
cards the intellectual standard of the
people of that state may be inferred from
the following extract from the New
York Herald:
"After talking a great deal of nonsense
he made plea for the Republican party
lieve that the great republican element,
to-day, in this country is honest? Do
YOU not believe that the great mass of
this people is honest? Do you not be-
lieve that the masses of the people,
North and South, East and West, be-
lieve in faithful collection of the rev.
enue? Democrats, don't you believe
that? Then, you cannot he p to honor
this party with its sound, stirring asso
Citations; you cannot help to honor this
party because here and there the repub-
iicans can catch thief"
Now, was there ever such a specimen
of impudent cheeky buster presented?
