The Latest from the Disaster.


INTERESTING DETAILS FURNISHED BY MR.
! CHARLES s. CARTER, OF BRooKLYN-HEART-
RENDERING SCENEs-GREAT SUFFERING, &C.
CLEVELAND, December 3O.-The follow
ing special to the Leader is the very latest
| Charles S. Carter, OF Brooklyn, N. Y, says
he was sitting in a palace-car with three
other persons engaged in friendly game OF
cards, when suddenly he beard the window
glass breaking in at the forward part Of the
car, and almost instantly the car began to
the front of the car, and as he went down
sat as quietly as he could and held on. When
the car struck the bottom of the ra-
vine he found himself almost unhurt,
although one Of the men who was playing
cards with him, whose name he did not
know, was Killed while another, a Mr..
Sheppard, Of New York, had his leg broken.
Mr.. Carter says the front Of the car was
much lower than the rear, and the flames in
front began to eat their way upward and
spread with great rapidity. He turned to
assist Mir. Sheppard, and with great diff
ficulty succeeded In getting him out. When
Mr.. Sheppard was fairly out Carter returned
to the assistance OF q woman who was CALI
ing for help at the front end Of the car. He
got her out, and as she was quite thinly clad
gave her his overcoat. After reaching the
hotel be found himself severity bruised in
several places. In the great peril OF the
hour man rushed down to the scene Of
the disaster ready to help in rescuing.y He
saw woman struggling for life, and went
to her assistance. He carried her by main
force to the solid ice, and then, urged by
the cries OF the mother, went back to rescue
her daughter, a sweet child Of three or four
years old. The wood OF the splinterlng
cars had caught the child in its grasp, and the
fire completed the horrible work. The man
was compelled to. see the child enveloped
in flames, and to hear her g Help me,
mother,n ringing out in the agony Of DEATH.
In moment she was lost, swept up by the
sharp tongue Of fire, while the mother, in
helpless agony, fell to the earth In deadly
sWoon. There was on board family
named Bennett, on it's way from New York
State to Jefferson, Ashtabula county The
father and mother got out of the wreck,
and the children were only saved by being
tossed from the arms OF one man to another
over the pile OF burning wood. One OF the

WITHpRAWs.-EX.G Governor Ilaight
in letter 70 the editor Of the Santa Rosa
DemocTdt, withdraws from the contest
for United States Senator. The Govern
or thinks he cannot be elected without
making a personal canvass with the Leg
isuture, md that is what he does not wish
10 do. We !hink the Governor is right,
but there are plenty who will view the
matter in different light ard put it down
that if Il thing is worth taking it is worth
seeking. 1t is now said that Old Duke
Gwin will come TO the front again as a
Senatorial candidate. As the old gentle
man IS possessed Of the cheek Of govern
ment mule, he viii not be troubled with
the scruples which aiilict the ex.govern-
or. We wish Haights example would
become contagious and the pernicous
system Of "o!ectioneering" be eliminated
from our politics.

TINS PAEDoNING PowEE.-The papers
ar9 again after Governor Irwin for an al
legged abuse of the pardouing power. 1t
is true that Executive cicmcncy has liber-
ntcd many criminals, and it is also true
that some OF those liberated have imme-
diatcly fetuucd 10 their old courses
But the question here arises; is it the
Governor or the law under which he acts
that is in fault.
1t is not alleged SO far as we have seen
that the Governor exercises his preroga-
tive ofpard1n Of lis own volition. lie
does it upon the representations Of parties
interested in having their friends released.
a man is for instance convicted of crime
and sentenced to n number Of years con
fnement in the leuitentiary. After his
term of sentence is, say half gone, his
friend, apply for his pardon. They rep
rcsen, the favorable features Of the cuse
II the Executive. Perhaps, TO strength
en- their application they persuade the
Judge Of the court in which the trial wa.
held, the prosecuting attorney, or some OF
the jury which convicted to join with
them. The prejudice that existed against
the prisoner when his crime was fresh ha.
died away and there is no one to set forth
the side Of the people. When those
knowing most about the crime make thi:
recommendation to mercy and allege cx-
teauating circumstances, ETC., the Exec
utiye takes a great responsibility in re.
fusing their petition. If he is to err, he
chooses il shall be on the side Of mercy
and the pardon is issued.
We think the fault lies rather in tho
system itself. Not That wearc opposed tC
parl5ns il to.o, for it is necessary thai
there should be power which can release
men from confinement without waiting
for the delnys and yexations Of law auC
red tape. Pe:haDs the power would be
lcss liable to abuse, Z it were vested in
Blafd of llre or more responsible officials
For that Executive clemency is abuscC
now, and will continue to be under ou
present System is IA fact too patent 10 be de
nied. Our Constitutional Convention
shou'd give this matter attention.

TIE business Of beach mining at Gold
Bluff will probably receive new impe-
tus from the invention of conccntra-
tor" which it is claimed will worl; well
in the fine dust found there. We rcmem-
her we'll when the Gold Bluff" and
- Cold Lake " eXctemeuts caught the
attention Of the mining community
Gold Lake was not q vary reasonable
story, and required Il mind to be pretty
enthusiastic to swallow It's glowing pic
tures. But Gold Bluff" was an excite
ment Of another kind. Here was the
ocean, Il great natural sluice, working
constantly upon the golden sands Of the
sea shore, carrying away the lighter sub
stances out into its depths and leaving
the gold ana heavy sand behind. The
stnry was very plausible one and the
rush for Gold Bluff commenced. But
though the gold was there, to collect it
was no! SO easy a matter. The sand in
which it was found could only be gather
el when the tide was out, and when gath
cred the gold was so fine that it could not
be saved by any Of the methods OF min
ing known to lhat day. Cola Bluff was
pronounced a humbug and left to the few
who chose to remain. The blsiness OF
gold mining has been carried on there to
quite an extent from that time to the
present and various improved methods
Of mining for the dust tried, with some
degree OF success. 1t this eonccntra-
tor works as well as anticipated, tn,
sands OF the sea shore may be made to
yield handsomely for there is no question
bat the gold is in them.

AFTER many years another clue has
been obtained to the Inflated Arctic ex-
petition Of Sir John Franklin. Some
Esquimaux have been found near Hud-
sons Bay with relics Of the expedition in
their possession, and they give inlorma-
ton that the books Of the expedition are
buried 500 miles inland. 1t is 2urmised
that among these books are the journals
of the explorers. Public interest in the
fate of the expedition is again awakened
and it is to be hoped that the mystery
which has so long erve}oped the fate of
Franklin and his crew is about dispelled.

WiLMlNGTON. Del. nov. Is 1877

The result Of the late elections awakens
very little interest at the National Capital,
and although the crowds around the Tele-
graph offices were perhaps some what larger
than usual, no particular excitement was
witnessed. The most remarkable feature,
at the many different localities, being the
radical Republicans, who seemed exceed
ingly anxious for Democratic success, that
the Administration might in that manner
be rebuked for its policy, so repugnant to
their idea Of party. fealty, and considerable
surprise was exhibited by the large Re-
publican majority in Massachusetts, for
they looked upon it as an endorsement by
that State of Mr.. Hayes policy, and Mr..
Hayes is particularly pleased at the result,
and is warmly congratulated thereupon, as
Massachusetts, has always been regarded by |
the better class Of Republicans here as
possessing more intelligence than any Of
her nsighboring Republican States.
