WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE Solicitor
OF the Treasury rendered a decision in the
Harper's Ferry land lot cases, pending
since the winter OF ls77.7S. The Solicitor
has decided to remit to purchasers who
apply for attachments two-thirds Of the

by them; to charge interest on the present
appraised value from the date of the pur-
chase from the government, and require
those obtaining abatements to account for
rents and profits. Persons interested ex'
press dissatisfaction with the decision,
and have appealed to the Attorney Gen.
eral for the construction Of the law passed
by Congress for their relief.

COIlIsiOn Or an Excursion and Freight
q TFaln-EIve Persons Kiflsd.
PHILADELPHIA, August 14.-A collision
on the Atlantic City narrow gauge road
this evening, between an excursion train
Of nine cars and freight train from At
lantic City, resulted in the death Of Eve
persons and slight injury TO two others.
The freight train expected to reach Glenn.
entou In time to allow the excursion train
to pass, but when nearing Clemanton the
trains came In sight and the engineers
whistled down brakes. The freight train
slowed up considerably, but the excursion
train was going at the rate Of about fifteen
miles an hour when the engines came to-
gether. The freight train was partially
thrown over q bank, but the excursion
train remained on the track. ~
The engineers and hremen finding that
collision was inevitable saved themselves
by leaping from the engines. When the
whistles blew the conductor on the eXcur-
sion train rushed to one brake and
two .hrakemen TO others, and these
In Z the collision were jammed to
death, together with deaf mute boy
and passenger standing on the
platform. The passengers in the cars were
not injured, except two slightly. Thethree
hundred passengers, men, women and
children, were taken from the cars through
the windows. Some continued the trip 10
TIE seaside, b.! far the greater number re.
turned home
The cause oi the calamity appears to
have been gsoss carelessness on the part
Of the Camden officers Of the road. The
train orders sent the freight conductor
were so worded that they were miscon-
strued. eA.r-. ,....f
killed: Conductor A. Z. Worthington; :.
Brakemen, E. Wood and Jacob Beginther;
NeWsAgent J. Smitl,and Charles Cohoole,
a deaf mute.

is true, though the same rule holding

In remarking upon the need OF coun.
teracting influence, the Springfield Rfpub.
liodn suggests the kind Of courage required
to remedy the ptesent'eyils. II says they
want less bullying behind shotgun and
more real courage in the grand jury and
in the Justice Of the Peace down in Mis-.
sisSippi. The courage Of keeping the
peace by means Of established authority
and compelling others to keep it is what
they haven't learned IN some parts Of the
South. Its higher kind OF courage than
that which relies on deadly weapons and
the rules Of the code OF honor. The South
has plenty Of men who can die well In
battle, men who will meet foe at 50
many PAGES, men who can take negroes
out Of their cabins and wait on indepen.
dent candidates with threatening intima.
tons. Now let US see II 1t has men cour.
ageous enough to issue warrants for the
arrest of such disturbers Of the peace, to
put them under heavy bonds to mind
their own business in the future, or to in.
dict, convict and punish them for such
of'enses. With the shotgun courage they
can maintain barbarism like that of Asia
Minor or the bandits OF Sicily. Itremains
to be seen whether they have the higher
kind which substitutes lawful authority
for violent threats and which alone will
enable them TO maintain civilized State.
