RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Am Eastern Railroad Freight Train
Plunges Through an Open Draw-En-
Eine aud Cars Smashed-One Man En-
Jured.
PORTSMOUTH, G. H., Nov. 1S.-About four
o'clock this afternoon freight engine No. %,
with three empty freight cars, plunged through
the open draw of Portsmouth bridge, going to
the bottom of the river. 1t seems the outward
bound schooner Nellie, lumber laden, had just
gone through the bridge, and before the draw
tender had time to close the draw an extra train
consisting of an engine, saloon and five
freight cars, bound TO Wolfboro Junction, ap-
preached at good speed. Engineer Hiram
Goodwin not discovering the signal in time to
stop the train it went over as above stated,
three cars only remaining on the track.
Goodwin, who is from North Conway, with
fireman Fl. G. Sawyer of Wolfboro junction
jumped, landing on the bridge, one to the right
and the other to the left. thereby saving them
selves and sustaining no injuries. A train hand
named Geo. P Brown of Parsonsf1eld, Me-,
who was on top of a box car, went down with
the train, but quickly rose to the surface and
chung to the piles of the bridge until rescued by
ropes. He received severe cut on the left
side and had his feet damned. One of the cars
soon after came up, being badly smashed, a
strong tide carrying it up river where it was
besieged by a crowd of boats in search of re-
fuse material.
The engine, which was formerly the New
buryport and will be remembered as being in
the Revere disaster, lies in about 60 feet of wa
ter, and owing to the rising tide. which flows
very strong at this point, it is impossible to tell
what her condition is. The accident occurred in
almost the very spot where the schooner Ceres
sank last year. Freight agent Barrett was
speedily on the spot with another train, hence
no delay was caused in the regular business OF
the road. The bridge was not injured.

cMahon COunselled 10 Moderation.
LONDON, Nov. ia despatch from Paris
has the following:
The violent terms OF yesterdays resolution
for inquiry into the electoral abuses at first
created an alarm in consequence of the severity
of its denunciations of the ministers who are
described as in rebellion against thel sovereignty
OF the enation. However, the explanations
relieving President MacMahon of responsibility
has al!ayed the uneasiness. In the face of this
resolution and the committees report under it,
the cabinet cannot survive in the presence of
the chamber which accuses it. 1t must either
disappear or again resort to some violent meas
ure. Nobody talks of adhesion by the Marshal
to the verdict of the country; yet can affirm
that counsels Of Cancellation are coming in from
every corner of Europe, and all the cabinets
which can make their voice he ard, from Cano.

condition has tendency, il unremedied, to become
chronic and obstinate Tring disorders of the stom-
ach' liver bowels urinary organs may speedily
velop into formidable maladies. Check them at the
outset with Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which, al
though it is wonderfully effective in overcoming dis
orders OF long standing, is, like any other medicinal
PREPARATION advantageous in the infancy of the
maladies to which it is adapted than after they have

The Grant-sumuer Controversy.

NEW York, Nov. 13.-George William Cur
ts gives the following as the facts connected
with the interview with President Grant rela-
tive to Charles Sumner:
In conversation with Gen. Grant, which
have always considered confidential, men
toned as an evidence of Summers peculiar fit
ness for the chairmanship of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs. that he had said to me on leav-
ing the committee he had left clean docket
Gen. Grant replied that this was untrue, for
there were several treaties ON which Sumner
had not reported; and he added that he would
send me list of them. Subsequently re-
ceived from him the list which Fish has re
Gently published. was naturally surprised,
but never for moment did suppose that Sum
ner meant to deceive me. My confidence in his
trutbfulness was not in the least disturbed.
My conviction was then and is now, that L had
misunderstood what he intended to express by
the phrase he used, and having learned the
hoplessness of any effort to effect good under
standing between him and Grant, never men,
toned the subject to him again. But whatever
the Misunderstanding may have been, do not
believe, nor did l ever give Grant reason to sup
pose that believed that Sumner, as Grant as
serts, stated what he knew to be falsehood.

pay OF the navy was not one OF those fund.-
which, when unexpended are required to be
turned into the treasury at the end of two
years, but was continuing fund, out of which
paymasters had been 10 the habit of paying all
sorts of expenses for the navy, which were af-
forwards created back to the pay funds. 1t
was the late Secretary of the Navy (about whom
the members on the other side could not lash
themselves into sufficient fury who had chang
ed the prior system of having these accounts
balance at long intervals, and who had requir-
ed them to be balanced every three mouths
The gay fund had been made the pack horse
on which everything else had ridden, and when
tbs reckoning day come in for the Treasury De-
partment to pay back what had been used for
other bureaus it was often found that those bu-
reaus had no balances to their credit, and so the
pay fund had to suffer- He did not claim that
this Yves good practice; he did not think it
was; he believed 1t good thing that the pres
ent Secretary of the Navy had looked the ques-
ton fairly in the face, and declined to go for
ward and anticipate or apply the principles
fairly applicable to a continuing fund, but said
he wruld not allow the pay fund to be encroach-
ed upon by any other funds. That was all there
was in this pother about the deficiency bill and
10 these charges of bad conduct and
extravaganza and something that deseIv-
ed renewed investigation on the part of
the late Secretary of the Navy He was now
private ctszen and was entitled to all the
rights of private citizen. The late Secretary
might be scrutinized from cellar to garrett and
there would not be found single dollar of all
the millions that had passed through his hands
which had been appropriated to purpose out
side the maintenance of the American navy in
proper manner.
Mr.. Banks expressed the conviction that if
the present Secretary of the Navy would ad-
here to the rule laid down by him he would
very soon stop running the department. The
system on which the House did business made
it impossible for any of the departments to be
run for series of years without encroaching
on that rule.
Mr.. Bount off Georgia replied to Mr.. Hale,
He claimed that that gentleman had not an
swered the points made by him (Blount,) but
had raised new issues and addressed himself to
them. The present Secretary of the Navy had
his respect because be repndiated the practice
which the gentleman from Maine had been
defending and was coming back to the legal
methods of administering the navy. He( Blount)
was not the only one inside or outside the
