The great object of the flaw evidently was Chow not to do it'' and, itsis a splendid success. If a man has been once ad- mitted in town it is. supposed not to be nee: essary for him to be admitted again, but if he has never been admitted in it, 1t is necessary for him to "be made" even though; he may have lived just over the line in an adjoining town and been voter there the last seventy five years. If It were asked why it was necessary to thus humiliate an old elector of the State, we can't imagine what the reply could be unless it were this: Formerly the theory of government here was, that it was for the people Fog the people. Now it is changed and the theory is that it is to put straight jackets on the people. 50 that they may do themselves no harm, and to enable the kind-hearted few to exercise a paternal care over them. To entitle person to vote in this State he must have resided in the State the ye0r and in the town the sic montAs next preceding the day of election. If his rights shall mature on election day he is enti- tied to be registered on one of the lists and if on the list "to be made" he can be admitted on the day before election.

A terrible railroad accident occurred on the Michigan Central Railroad at Detroit Mich, last Friday morning The Pacific Ex-, press train bound west, which left Detroit 40 minutes late, collided with switch engine on the main track at that place, telescoping the baggage and express cars and piling the re- maining coaches, eleven in number, on. top of each other. The first coach was filled with emigrants, most of whom were killed or seri- ously injured Many occupants of the other coaches were also killed or injured. It is sup posed tha. about twenty-five persons were killed and about as many more wounded. The accident was caused by a switehman having charge of making up freight trains at Jackson junction, occupying the main track with switch engine and caboose, thinking that the Pacific Express was considerably behind time, when it had,nearly made up all the lost time.

-Smartness, like yaulting ambition, some times overleaps itself and falls on the other side. This was illustrated the other day in
 the Hayden trial in New Haven. While the prisoner was being arraigned his counsel de, teeted clerical error in one of the counts of the indictment 1.-the name of the murdered woman had been written Mary E. Hayden Instead of Mary E. Stannard-and immedi- atsly raised the objection, insisting that it was material and not amendable. The result was that the prosecution noled the indict- ment had new grand jury summoned who found new bill containing an additional count Charging that the deceased came to her death by means of the knife and poisonl and yesterday the trial again commenced. If tie counsel had reserved his objection and it proved to be what he claimed it was, he would have had in case of conviction, good grounds for motion in arrest of judgment and LOT Qnashing the whole proceeding.

SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 8.-The schooner Pauline Collins arrived Monday from the Arctic Ocean. Captain Sands reports alright ful story from St. Lawrence Island, in the Behring Sea. Almost the entire population of the southeastern end of the island has per ished of starvation. A party landed from the Collins and were mortified to find 250 corpses in one field. The living had carried the dead away from the huts until at length overcome themselves, they in turn died in the huts, and so remained. Everywhere the scene was frightful One little girl the captain speaks of seeing stiff in death, with her head resting on her hand, while the body leaned over the remains of 8 whale. Mr Sands attributes the starvation to rum. Nearly every trader" goes to the Arctic loaded with it, and so long as the liquor lasts the natives will not go fish, ing.

 far as' they. were concerned. They arrived safely, their trunks followed and were taken to the depot, where checks were procured for them (the trunks ) but MT. Buckley, the pro- prietor of the hoteD being made aware of the affair, his anger was aroused, and he started in pursuit, having hired an Irishman to go with him in case there should be any need of assis tance. MT. Buckley being unable to find the ''board shippers" but meeting with MT. Bird, and knowing the part he had taken in the matter, hired the Irishman to thrash him. The representative of the "Enerald Isle" performed his part to perfection, leaving Mir. Bird in sadly demoralized and broken up condition. The weapon used was club. MT. Bird was severely cut about the head and face, the wounds though painful were not dangerous.
