Railway NTishaP.

The passenger train by the Mem
phis & Charleston railroad, due yester-
day at 1890, came in at II o'clock to-
day nearly % hours behind time in
consequence of an accident to freight
train going east from Nashville. The
mishap occurred at Sand Mountain, 8
miles this side of Chattanooga ,on night
before last where a wheel broke near
the middle of the train, causing the
wrecking of seven loaded cars. No
trains could pass until the rubbish
was cleared away; hence the delay of
passengers as above mentioned. A
wrecking train was sent out from
Nashville to repair damages.

CINCINNATI.
A Threatening and Disastrous
FlOOd---The Wharf BlOckaded.

CINCINNATI, December 27.-The
rapid rise in the river causes some
apprehension in the minds of river
people for the safety of boats and car
goes now at the landing. The water
now touches the curbstone at Gilmore
landing and at the present rate will
probably reach the first floors of
some of the houses in the vicinity
Of Broadway and Main streets by
morning the wharfboats are almost up
to the sidewalks. All along the shore
freight is being removed aboard the
boats as rapidly as possible. Great
damage to boats is apprehended from
the action of the swift current and
from the drift-wood, some of the latter
being logs of the largest size, which
are driven about with great force.

The case of Arthur 0rton- Thomas
Castro Roger Tichborne is to be re-
vived in all its magnificent proper
tions in England. ALondon dispatch
states that the bogus Roger Tichborne
who is now in Jail at Portsmouth, is
going to push bill in Parliament for
the remission of his sentence and for
the restoration of the Tichborne prop
erty. The claimant was in 1872 dem
onstrated to be an Australian butcher,
who was trying to personate Roger
Tichborne, who is, with good reason,
believed to have been lost at sea in
1854, when the ship Bella went down
on her trip from Brazil to New York
The prosecution of the pretender for
perjury cost $4,000, and the trial last
ed two hundred days. Some of Or
toms admirers talk of running him
for seat in Parliament. There is no
probability that be will ever get the
Tichborne estates.

THE Avalanche of this morning
publishes a portion of the Banners
extracts from Mr.. Leagues speech in
favor of submitting the tax of one per
cent, which will fall due in December,
to a vote of the people in October.
The speech was read from volumin-
Gus manuscript. This appears to be a
synopsis Of certain portions. We fail
to discover in it any reason for Mr..
Leagues complete change of base
since he appeared before the Com
mittee of Fifteen and voluntarily
pledged himself to do all in his
power to secure the passage Of
the bill recommended by the commit
mitiee. At the last moment he sprung
his big speech against the bill and
voted against it. What new light such
a well-posted man as he is could have
received in the meantime is "a thing
no fellow can find out" 1t seems
that he took notion to flop and be
Hoped Brother Ramsey was the
only one of the Shelby delegation in
from this part of the state who voted
withlMr. League against the bill. They
are both, no doubt, in favor of santa
ton, but opposed to its enforcement.

Boston, December 27.-The follow
ing was received from Bangor, Me-,
at three o'clock this morning: AL
though the feeling is very intense,
ordinary quiet prevailed Friday, and
all business proceeded as usual. The
best citizens express great indigna-
ton at the meving of arms through
the streets on Christmas day, but not
the slighteat tendency to disorder of
any kind was manifested. The news
Of the clandestine removal of rifles of
the old town company from the armo-
ry by the Fusionists last night, caused
much comment, and the comparison
with lack of any disposition by re-
plevins here to disturb the amunitions
at the arsenal or armory,"
Lieutenant Colonel Daniel White,
Of this city, who SUCCEEDS to the
command of State militia, by the res
ignation of Colonel Mattocks, has
issued circulars to different compa-
nies, expressing the hope that all pres
ent troubles be peacefully settled, and
asking reports of reports of member
ship, arms, etc.
At the meeting of the citizens ex-
ecutive committee last evening the
following was adopted: "To the pub
lie: In view of the spontaneous up
rising Of our citizens at the sight of
arms and ammunition transported
through our streets Christmas day,
stealthily and without written au-
thority, for the purpose, on
behalf of the governor of state,
Of consummation by force, the
threatened crime against decision
of the majority as expressed at the
polls. The undersigned executive
committee of citizens at the meeting
held this evening were unanimously
Of the opinion that while this repris-
ing was but the natural expressions of
the indignation of our citizens, yet if
our Governor shall see fit to per-
sist in this remarkable and alarming
purpose of gathering ammunitions of
war for use against the people, the re-
sponsibilities therefor may need be
left upon him, and the law>abiding
citizens Of Bangor will do nothing by
which they would incur any degree of
responsibility for the deplorable con-
sequences which may ensue IRON
turning the capitol of the state into
an armed camp.
We therefore feel assured that there
is no disposition on the part of the
people to resist the execution of any
order lawfully given by the governor
for the removal from our city of any
property belonging to the state.

l'HE election of school visitors
comes off on Thursday next, the 1st
of January, 1880. One member will
be elected to each of nine wards and
two in the Sixth ward. The members
of the board of education are anxious
to hold this election without expense.
No other election will be held that
day. hence it Is to be feared that
only a very light vote will be
polled. We would remind our city
readers that this is an important cleo
ton, and should not be overlooked
IF it is. there are designing men who
might slip into the board on small
vote. and afterwards give much trou-
BILE, and cripple the public schools
As there is no appropriation at present
for the pay Of judges and clerks at the
election, it is is hoped that yolun-
teers may be found VINO Will
take sufficient interest in the
welfare of the public to give their
services free, Those who are willing
to serve are requestedto reporti in their
respective wards to the members of
the board who hold over. The pres
ent reward will not be great but a
sense Of duty well performed will ceF-
tainly be something to start out with,
on the first day of the new year. We
hope the election will be held without
expense OF embarrassment, and that
she best Of men will be chosen to serve
in the school board.
