A Talk with Mr.. Tilden.

To reporter of the New York World
who interviewed Mr.. Tilden on Monday
last, just before his departure for Europe,
the Ex-Governor talked very freely. In
regard to the Electoral Commission he
said that he had never had any real con-
fidence in the arbitration of a question
where there was so much at stake by a
body of that kind. That settlement, he
said, involved not only the Presidency
but all the patronage and power of the
Federal Administration, together with
all the schemes, plans and jobs connected
with it. The Republican party and the
men who had managed it in the past were
too anxious to retain the Administration
to yield any point in an arbitration. The
resultof the Electoral Commission, there
fore, was what might have been expected,
considering the power and influences
brought to bear upon the political major
ity Of that body as finally constituted.
He furthermore never liked the scheme
as a matter of principle, believing that
the true direction of Democratic appeal
was not away from 369 representatives Of
the people towards fifteen individuals,
and still less from fifteen individuals to-
wards one to be selected necessarily with
large element of chance, not to say Of
trick and device. He thought there
should rather have been an appeal from
the 969 representatives to the 100000
of voters through a new election. He
was distrustful of the secrecy, celebrity
and improvidence with which the ar
rangcment was carried through and ush-
cred into being. But the proposition
appealed to the hopes of the business
classes, which were anxious above all
things for a settlement of almost any
kind, at almost any price, and as it was
presented by the unanimous report of
the Joint Committee, it became the rep
resentative, and the only representative
of the public desire for peace. The
events which are now attracting so much
public attention in New Orleans, and the
disclosures which, perhaps, may follow,
Mr.. Tilden seemed to consider only as
the logical outcome of the revolutionary
acts Of last fall and winter. 'In a gov
ernment like ours" he said, "such fraud
ulent practices as we're reported from
New Orleans last November sooner or
later must come to the light, and the
guilty parties with their practices must
be made known. 1t was so with the
frauds in New York; it has been the
case to certain extent in Washington,
and like result will follow in New Or
leans. 1t is against the natural course
of events that deeds of this kind should
ultimately fail of being brought to light
in all their enormities." All this was
said with philosophic calmness and with
out any heat whatever. In regard to his
own political future Mr.. Tilden had moth
ing to say except that he could not see
any possible contingency, which could
induce him to be a candidate for, or to
seek an election to, q seat in the United
States Senate.

A Man Survives the Breaking of His
Neck Sixteen Hours.

On Saturday forenoon a singular and
fatal accident occurred in the second
ward of this city, the particulars of which
are as follow: Mr.. John Miller, residing
on the corner of Park and John streets,
was engaged in picking cherries on the
premises of neighbor named Pfohl.
While so engaged, and about 10 o'clock,
he accidentally fell from the tree to the
ground fall not over ten feet. He
struck on his head and shoulders, and
was subsequently taken up in an insensi--
BILE condition and conveyed to his resi-
dence, where DR.. Whedon was summoned
to attend him. DR.. Whedon found his
patient speechless and semi-unconscious.
An examination revealed the fact that
the mans neck was broken just at the
base of the skull. Securing assistance,
the patients head, which was thrown
backward, was brought into its proper
position, when it was discovered that
Miller was able to talk. An apparatus
consisting of bands and weights was ar
ranged and applied, to hold his head in
position. The singularity of the accident
and its results caused several physicians
to visit Miller during the afternoon.
Though everything was done that medi-
cal knowledge could devise, Miller con-
tinued to sink until Sunday morning
about 2o'clock, when death ensued. The
accident occurred about 10 o'clock Sat
urday forenoon. It will be seen that
Miller survived the breaking of his neck
sixteen hours. Previous to his death
Miller's right side became paralyzed,
after which he sank rapidly. The de-
ceased was about fifty years of age. This
afternoon at o'clock post mortem ex-
animation of the body will be held by
several physicians, the majority of whom
are deeply interested in this singular case,
which demonstrated that the dislocation
of the human neck is not necessarily
Immediately fatal.--Syracuse, ~ y

MT. UNION, O., May q, 1877.
Mr.. EDITOR:-Dear Sir-AlloW
me a small space in your valuable
paper to give few remarks Of Mt.
Union College. This is the thirtieth
anniversary Of the college. Early in
the fall of 1916, an humble young man
of the freshmen class of Allegheny
college, was observed to set out on
foot, with honest earnestness, in the
capacity Of a teacher in quest of en-
ployment. Reyerently committing
his guidance to him who knoweth
all things, he had not gone far, until
he came to the quiet village of Mt.
Union, land was asked by few youths
OF the place to organize a small sub
Scription school, and it was taught in
the upper story of wooden factory.
After teaching in this rustic place for
five months term, he entered his
class at the beginning of the next
spring session, where he faithfully
continued his studies, and graduated
in 1849, when in the twenty sixth
year of his age. Receiving at this
juncture petition from former pu-
pills and a number of citizens, asking
him to return and resume his school
at the Mount, he promptly con.
sented, and on Nov. Sd. 1919, with
thirty students, he began another
term of the school which, by COM
mon usage, was now named Mt. I'm
ion Seminary. 1t soon became OBJ
vious that the increasing demand for
education, so providentially made
upon this youthful institution, and
with generous desire to meet as far
as practicable this growing demand,
extraordinary efforts were patiently
put forth and divinely blest.
The college property at the pres
ent is estimated at about half a mil
lion of dollars. Starting with but
few patrons, one Professor, six stu
dents, and small means, it has regu-
larly and BEAUTIFULLY grown, until
now its instructed students number
13,028. Says Bayard Taylor: 1.-THE
museum of Mt. Union College is

where" And I think myself it is
very good. One Of the specimens
especially attract my attention, and
that is the Gorilla.

character as its chief glory, that il

ED. REPUBLICAN Having seen
an Invitation In your very valuable
paper to persons to send you any
Items Of interest that might come
under our observation we, concluded
to send you few notes.
The North Branch bridge below
Fort Pendleton has been carried
away by the wind, making it ex-
tremely unpleasant to pedestrians,
especially Mr.. Henry White, whose
sweet heart resides IN Virginia. She,
OF course, feels very love lorn when
the waters are high and poor Henry
cannot get across.
Mr.. w. j. Wilson is also at a loss
to know how to get across and salt
his cattle.
Miss Annie Savage's school is pro-
crossing finely at White Oak Grove.
l have been informed that she has
thirty-two scholars registered, and
all is pleasant in unison of love.
Miss Savage is a very talented
teacher and has proved very satisfac-
tory wherever she has taught.
1t seems that since the inaugural
ton of Hayes times are Frightening,
Judging from the number Of W, d.
dings in this neighborhood.
Three rowing damsels, bent on Ssee-
ing sights and trying their skill ang-
ling, resolved to go to II. G. Davis
dam, where they supposed there
won d be an abundance. They eX-
pected to see the fish jump out of the
water and bid them the time of day,
they expected to find them so plenti-
full they could scoop them up by the
salt sack full, but, sad to relate, two
more skillful anglers had preceded
them and caught all the hungry fish.
They then concluded to examine that
huge structure the dam. 1t did not
meet their expectation. They
thought it would be very pleasant to
boat ride on the placid waters above
the dam.
Mrs. M. Z. Chisholm has new
board fence around her yard.
Messrs. Wilson and Harvey have
just finished appraising the late
Israel ThompSon's property.
The usual beautiful month of Nav
came in very rough and the rain and
snow have made the roads very disa-
agreeable.
