Quite o serious accident occurred on
the Capitol gorands Yesterday afternoon,
at 3 o'clock, in which Rnfuse Wall and
Jack w ODDLY, two convicts, were badly
injured. The squad ofprisoners work
lingo the east side ofithe grounds, un-
r:the bluff overlooking Park street,
had caused to work, and were packing
mp their.tools when the accident oc-
cured. Wall had a twenty-five pound
key ofpowder in his hands when aspark
of fire from the bluff overhead flew into
it, causing the powder to explode, and
throwing him dozen feet into the air,
His hands, arms and face were burned
very badly, and his clothing set on FIRE;
but, though his eyebrows were burned
off, his eyesight was not destroyed
Woody was STOPPING near him in the
act of picking up spade, and was aslo
injured. Both were wrapped up in blank
cts and taken to the penitentiary, where
their injuries were examined by DR.,
Jamison, the hospital physician. A
negro prisoner had ladder on his shout
der, within few feet of the spot, when
a portion of the .keg struck him, He
stumbled and fell, his hand being hurt
in the fall. Wall and Woody were rest
ing easier last night, and no serious dan,
ger is apprehended to either Of them;
The accident is said to be the result OF
carelessness upon the part Of guards, in
permitting such quantity Of powder 10
be used so near the fire upon such a win

Remarkable Disappearancs orGsors,a

Says the Yaldosta (Georgia) Times.
A third lake in Iowndes County has
been emptied of It's waters by subter.
ranean passages during the last six
months What Is thenlatter2The Times
has several times alluded 10 the fact
that Lowndes county had within It's
borders numbers Of lakes from ten To
lye hundred land sometimes beyond a
thousand) acres In size, and can il be
that these lakes are all connected with
a grand underground watercourse? 1t
seems so In September last one dried
up or run OIL, and left bushels upon
bushels OF fish in holes of water about
upon the bottom Of the lake. In Jan.
uary another about five miles distance
did the same thing, and now Grassy
Pond, lake covering about 500 acres,
just between the two above mentions,
has left its million of fishes out of water.
About three weeks ago it was reported
that the waters of this lake were sink.
ing below low-water mark, and every day
or two we would hear that it was still
going down, Last Friday report
spread all over the country like widfre
that Grassy Pond was low enough to
rake the fish out with nets, and by sun.
down more than 100 people had collect
ed Mt the place. Some had dip nets,
and there was one seine it the party
The first hall with the seine caught
enough trout, jack brean and speckle
perch to make mess for every one
present, During that night all B the wa
ter disappeared, and there were million
OF fish left dead upon dry land Satulr
day next day, the planters hitched up
their wagons and ,halledloads after loads
and scattered them in their fields for
manure, and thousands were left at the
mercyrof buzzards, hogs, and other Great
urespt prey, Such quantities of fish and
such destruction has never been known
ia elhistory Of Lowndes county. No
one eyerIoreamed that there was half
that quantity Of fslf>in Grassy Pond
though IL was celebrated for its fine fish.
ing grounds IN the spring of the year
The other two lakes above mentioned
did not run thus completely dry, and
the fish that were not caught weresaved
by the water returning in few days
from its hidden retreat in the bosom of
the earth. We learn that Grassy Pond
IS filling up again, but it is to late to
ave the tinny9 tribe These statements
re not exaggerated, and can be tes-
flied by several hundred people liv-
ng in this county,though it is marvel
nus to all.

JESSE SO.

The Knoxville TriGaae is the of
fetal organ Of its party in East
Tenn, and is edited by an old and
well posted politician, one who
knows what political integrity
consists Of and what it is to be an
honest representative Of the peo-
pie. fIe says, speaking of the act
Of Congress passed in 1866, in
creasing the pay Of Congressman,
that it was contemplate and
dishonesty and that the act pass
cd cloabcd in fraud and decep-
ton" Now he is well posted--he
knows whereof he speaks-and
we will only add that Thomas a.
Hendricks, the Democratic nomi-
nee for the Vice Presidency, vot-
ed, first and last, for the above law
and took Tho Increased pay, therefore
he is guilty of a contemplate
and dishonest" act, and has, by
word and deed, practiced fraud
and deception" on the people. He
is q SALARY Grobber. Still he is held
up by the Democracy for the
of an honest people. This
is "Roform.'

4 "ReEornnedy Candidate.

The Reform Democrats of the
reform district of Meclenburg of
the State Of North Carolina, have
nominated a reform candidate for
the reform Legislature. This
same reform candidate served two
reform years in the reform peni-
Tertiary, and was pardoned out by
one l.. S. Grant about six months
ago, He is a fair sample Of Til
den reform.
The weekly herald. [volume] (Cleveland, Tenn.) 1876-1888, 1876-07-28

strates that he is not the man we
want for the White House; and
the more we know of Rutherford
b. Hayes the more Of pure chris
tian manliness we see in him. Mr..
Tilden has allowed this lie to 90
through the press, and it shows
how little there really is to sup
port him when his friends can find
nothing but bare-faced falsehoods
with which to work for him. Gen.
Hayes resty on a sure foundation
with no T~ammapy Ring hanging
to him, with no Railroad Jobbery
with its 800, 10000 law suits in his
record, but wit ability and above
all a pure heart.

TEEE NATIONAL u REPUBLICAN,
PAATFGRgE.

The following is the platform, as
adopted by the National Republican
Convention that nominated Hayes
md Wheeler:
When in the economy of Proyi
lence this land was to be purged Of
human slavery, and wkenthe strength
Of the Government Of the people, b!
the people, for the people, was dem.
o~nstrated, the Republican party came
INTO power. It's deeds have passed
into history, and we lock back /,

memories and high aims for the good
Of our country and mankind, and
looking to the future with unfalter.
ing courage; hope aud purpose, we.
the representatives of the party il
National Convention assembled make
the following declaration Of princi-
pies:
First. The United States Of Amer
lea as a nation, not a league; by the
combined working Of the National
and State governments under thci,
respective Constitutions, the rights Of
every citizen are secured at home and
protected abroad, and their conSnol.
welfare promoted.
Second. The Republican party
has preserved those governments tc
the hundredth anniversary of the ma,
tons birth, and they are now cmbod,
iments Of the great truths spoken at
its cradle, that al men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty
md the pursuit of happiness; that
for the attainment Of these ends gov.
ernments have been instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed; unit
those truths are eheerfully obcycd, il
needed to be vigorously enforced, the
work Of the Republican party is II
finished, The permanent paciication
of The Southern section Of the Union,
the complete protection of all its citi-
zens in the free enjoyment Of all
their rights are duties to which the
Republican party are sacredly pledg-
ed. Applause. The power to pro-
vide for the enforcement Of principles
embodied in the recent constitutional
amendments is, vested by the amend
mcnts in the Congress Of the United
States, and we declare it to be the
solemn obligation Of the Legislative
and executive departments of the
Government to put into immediate
aud vigorous exercise all their consti-
Lutional powers for removing any
lust causes Of discomfort on the part
Of any class, andsecuring every Amer
can citizen complete liberty and OK

TO this end we imperitively
demand a congress, aud chief execu-
i've whose courage and fidelity to
hose duties shall not Gfter until
results are placed beyond dis
oute or recall. Applause.

gentleman is a candidate for Gov
ernOr on a lov tax platform. He
proposes that the tax be set no
higher than twenty cents on the
hundred dollars. This, in fact
amounts to the scaling Of the pub
lie debt. That debt is twenty four
millions of dollar now, and still
growing. While it is the wish OF
a large majority Of the Republi-
ean party to uphold the honor OF
he State, still it is not their wish
to be sold out of % house and
home to pay a rascally debt to g
lot Of rascally politicians: Ne
}her is it the wish of the Demo
cratic party. No party, as
1 party, will shoulder Mr.. Thorn
as as their candidate, still if he
runs we would rather risk his
chances than hat Of a party nom
NEE. If he should run his race
through, we predict that he will
receive one thousand out of the
eighteen hundred votes of Brad
ley county.
