RAILROAD DOWN SNAKE RIVER.

1t is not from any knowledge we possess
of the plans Of the Utah Northern COM
pany that we now say that the only pract-
ible ront for railroad is straigh, down
Snake river through that, TO many, terra
iacoa,aitd "the big canyon" The general
impression THAT this canyon is impossible,
and consists Of perpendicular cliffs, is en-
t:rely erroneous. The fact is that there
are but few such places, and thos :, in this
era of great engineering fea's, are mere
cobwebs The creates, difficulty expert

could be brought through the mountains
by the same method that they are brought
to the summit Of mountains

Which is by means of stationary engine

ered by the people who will ultimately be

Il FEARFUL EXPLOSION.

"A Locomotive Boiler Suddenly Bursts
killing Three Men, and Terribly Scnld
Ing Two Others.
The Columbia Register Of the 18Th
inst. contains the following: "About
Z o'clock yesterday morning, ltnyinc
81 attached to u material train on the
Grccnvillc and Columbia Railroad cx-
plodcd, near DonnIds station, killing
the engineer, William Milliyan, the
colorcu fireman, William Johnston.
nnd young wlitc man named Greer,
who lived at llonca Path and ran q
stationary engine at DOnul,ls. Gree:
happened to be near the engine when
the explosion occurred. \ colurctl
man, named Henry Tallcs,n. was
fatally scaltlcd. Section Master Farm
CT was also very seriously burned,
and it was feared that he could not
recover. The train had been moving
along The track in pursuance Of lis
business, had stopped while to pick
up some material. and had moved OF
again. The explosion took place lust
rs the engine had got in motion. The
crown sheet just over the frc-boX was
burst. This threw the engine up..
turning it completely around, and
throwing it about twenty or thirty
yards from the spot. The tender was
left standing. The track was torn up,
crosstlcs moved from their places, and
the iron, which was heavy, broken in
two. Mr.. Milligan's body was thrown
about forty yards off. Mr.. Grccr'.;
was found near where the engine fell.
Johnston's was thrown back on one
OF the flats. Mr.. Milligam left wife
and an adopted daughter. johnson
left wife and several small children.
Greer was unmarried. The bodies OF
the three men were sent to their re-
spcctivc homcs-Alilligan's to Helena,

Marching Through Georgia.

Henry W. Grady, versatile Jour-
nalist of Atlanta, has written Il letter
to the New York Herald announcing
the existence Of strong Grant boom
In the Empire State of tho South.
According to him the apple is ripe
and ready to drop, and all That Grant
has to do is to come around picking
1t up. The Augusta Chronicle treats
1t rs sensational, and scouts tho idea
ofdnngcr in State that gavc eighty
thousand Democratic majority in
1876. 1t Is hardly probable that the
Grant movement will amount to much
III Georgia, though Parson FELTON,,
the Independent Congressman who
for three terms has been elected large
lyby Republican votes, has just cut
loose from the Democracy, and rs he
Is a sort of pilot-fish to Alcck Stephens
it is snrlniscd that the aged commoncr
will himself swing over openly to
Grant, especially ns he has all along
had leaning in that direction. Much
better to have Stephens and Fclton
and their supporters over in the Re.
publican ranks than to have them
secretly stabbing tho party they pro.
Tess to uphold. Mcssrs. Stephens and
FELTON, may contract to deliver Gcor.
gin to the third tcrmcrs, but nobody
believes they can deliver tho goods
Mr.. Grady deserves praise as sensa.
tionalist of high order. We think
1t Will be some timc yct before the
Republicans again go marching

Democratic last year bv an increased
majority, while the Republicans gain.
cd IN all the other States, and carried
! Now York by thmty-fivc thousand,
This year, despite Democratic disson-
sions in New York, tho votes for
Robinson and Kelly combined OK
cccdcd those for Cornell by thirty-Iivc
thousand, although Cornell was run
by Conkling on the Grant platform.
The Republicans arc not sanguino of
carrying these two States next year.
and they will make the fight in tho
three Southern States named above.
They hope to carry ono of the three
at least. Failing in this they will
raisc the cry Of fraud, and claim that
they have been counted out. A
prominent Republican has already
said that Grant will not be nominated
unless there is fear of Democratic
fraud, otherwise Blaine or Sherman
will be selected. This means that if
tho Republicans feel confident of car
rying New York or Indiana, they will
nominate civilian, but if not they
will select Grant, cry fraud in the
South, and cndcavor to steal the
Presidency again. An Indispensable
feature Of this programme is to make
a close run in South Carolina. We
firmly believe that the gathering of
the Radical clans in Columbia last
week meant much moro than mere
visit of pleasure. They were taking
preliminary steps for pcrlccting u
desperate campaign next summer.
Forcwarncd is forcarmcd. II the
Democracy devote their whole time to
an unsccmly squobblc over The loavcs
and fishes, they will wake next No

slipped in and captured tho feast.

LATEST atlviccs from Chan lesion arc
that Sale is rapidly weakening. His
appeal to Corbin to arrest the munich
pal managers was the straw that
broke the camefs back. The fight
will be between Courtenay and
eiaycr. We arc pleased to sec the
tone Of the speeches of Captain Courtc-
nays followers. They cndcavor to
solidify the party and to bring back
those Democrats who have honestly
straycd away, and arc now waking
up. Mayor Sale has obtained leave
OF absence from tho city council.
Where he has gone is not stated. If
he would withdraw from tho hopeless
contest in which he is engaged it
would help the canvass greatly. lie
bctrays great want Of acumcn in be-
licving that Republicans will support
anyone who claims to be Demo-
crat while an Independent is in tho
field. His outrageous appeal to Cor
bin, and his Inauguration Of proceed
ings That even United States Commits
aioncr declared unconstitutional, ought
to alicnatc all Democrats. Major
Gaycr was too astutc to be caught in
this way. 1t was LETT for Mayor Sale
to burn his fingers with tho chcstnuts.
Let him retrieve his error by with
drawing from the canvass.

HAMPTON IND GR.fST,
Why South Carolina VIII not Support 4
Other Presidential Cnnl date tlun NJ,

Why Soutl, Carolina VIII not support ANY
Other Presidential Cnnd Itlatc than A..na-
tor Bnyard.
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Telegraph sends the
following batch Of talscl0Ods to his
paper. ii is published us Il sample of
what q stalwart reporter can do when
news is scarce and tho outrage market
dull. lie says:
Much comment is made in admins
tration circles, ut the refusal Of Scna-
tor Wade Hampton, Of South Caro-
lima, to unite in an expression Of well
come to General Grant upon his re-
ception at Chicago by the Society of
the Army Of the Tennessee. Since
Senator llampton's appearance in the
Scnatc amongst his Southern and
Northern political friends, he has
taken n most ultra position and has
entirely abandoned the solemn prom
lScs which he made to the administra-
ton when they assumed the rcins of
government, removed The troops and
turned over the State to him as it's
Governor.
Among the members of the admins
tratlon yesterday some OF the early re-
latlons between the President and
Governor Hampton were alluded to,
particularly rccounting the interview
between tho President md Governor
Hampton when the latter came from
South Carolina to Washington for
tho purpose of personally assuring
the PRESIDENT ofhis sincerity and his
dctcrlnlnation to cooperate in the
policy OF reconciliation in the South
laid down by the administration i'm its
| enorts to Go away with all sectional
bitterness.
| 1t was mentioned that as long rs
Governor Hampton was permitted to
use the Federal patronage to serve his
own purposes he ostcnsibly cndcavor-
ed to carry out his promises, but the
extremity to which he carried his de-
mands made it necessary for tho ad.
mlnlstration to exercise some discrimi-
nation in tho appointments made in
the South. Upon this Governor
Hampton Immediately turned his bacl;
on all his promises and became moro
intolcrant even than those of his fell
iow-citiZcns whom he had previously
censurcd.
Recent adviccs received from South
Carolina show that his refusal to
recognize General Grant is only q
part or his personal feeling in regard
TO: the future political condition OF
tmngs. Senator Hampton has alsc
formally notified the Northern Demo
cratic leaders that the State of Soufl
Carolina will not under any circnm
stancs support Northern Presidential
Candidate; that they are unanimousl,
for Bayard, because as a S0uthcri
man no has always been identified
with their section, and his symnoth;n
have been with them in MI their from
bles, both during and since tho war.
