We have in another article taken the
Philadelphia Bulletin to task for publishing
a faisehood as to the ratification OF the
new amendments to the Federal Consutu-
ton. In that article we gave the Bulletin
credit for ignorance, not wishing to charge
IL with mendacity. We have never classed
that journal amongst those Republican
journals which wifuIIy lie about the South.
But what are we 10 say when we find in The
same copy OF the Bulletin in which we
found the false statement already commented
upon, the following misleading paragraph :
"When northern papers tell the truth
about southern persecution OF the negroes,
about schemes for cheating the blacks OF
their wages, about the use OF violence for
political subsection OF the blacks, they are
accused OF indulgiDg misrepresentation for
partisan purposes. We have now very
important witness TO the fact that these
statements are true. The Methodist AdU0-
cate is a religious newspaper published in
Atlanta, Ga. IL is not at all partisan, but
il knows what the truth j., and it states it
boldly"
Now, this Methodist Advocate is a sheet
published by the Northern Methodist
Church in a southern city, and is abso.
lutely more malignant and unblushing
viifier OF the southern people than the
New York Tribune or the Providence
Journal. And the Bulletin knew it to be
such paper for here is part OF the Ian.
guage quoted from it:
"Colored people have been whipped and
murdered without regard to age. sex, con-
dition, or character. till many have fled as
from the jaws OF beasts OF prey. Persecu.
ton for opinion has prevailed to such an
extent that multitudes OF Write people have
sought homes in other portion OF our coun-
try. This is seen in the fact that while the
Methodist Episcopal Church has been bring
ing tens OF thousands OF dollars into Georgia
through all Of these years, which sums have
been expended for educational and religious
purposes, instead Of receiving the encour-
agement and support from other churches
and from thoughtful and welI-meaning men
which was our due, we have been opposed,
slandered, and viltied; our church houses
for both white and coored have been burned
and our schools broken up"
The Advocate is an organ Of the Northern
Methodist Church. Nothing more need be
said,

Senator Smith in the Convention yester-
day pledged the vote Of Nelson to the De-
mocracy by majority ranging from three
to five hundred. Ii the people OF Nelson
will do their duty, as we believe they will,
the majority will even exceed Senator
Smiths highest figures.-LynchJWg Vir-
ginian.
When the statement is made that the Re-
adjusters OF Wythe county are solid for the
July ticket il Is made regardless OF truth.

that party have avowed themselves as OPP
posed to the Julyers, and intend voting the
straight-out Democratic ticket WytheUMe

WASHINGTON, August Pa private let
ter to a gentleman ia this city from Gov
ernor Hendricks. not written for publica-
ton, says that Indiana will undoubtedly
elect tie Democratic ticket in October, and
this despite the fact, Governor Hendricks
says, thst the Republican managers have
succeeded In colonizing at least 1900 col
ored voters In the State. Representative
Morriso u, of Illinois, writes here that never
before II the history OF politics in that State
have tho Republican managers put forth
such efio. IT'S as in the present canvass. The
Democrat have never before had such q
strong st. ,te ticket in the field, which ac.
counts for Republican activity. Mr.. Morri-
son says IN usual pains is being taken 10 de-
feat him for reelection, but be has no fear vt

OF men they were. II he had got up a little
closer, like Hancock did, he would have
seen some pretty good fellows, and that the
courage and loyalty which God has dis.
pensed to every man was not all on one
side. There was another idea which lead
up to Hancock. II was what Dan Dougher-
ty, OF Philadelphia, said when he nomi-
nated him. II Is In one short, sharp, and
decisive sentence. Let me see how you

Of the words OF Tom Moore, and think he

Colonel Daniel referred also TO the va
rious topics Of political interest, and in con-
clusion congratulated in the warmest man
ner the District Democracy on the ratiiica-
ton. He would 90 down to the Old Do

statue OF Lincoln and Its decorations oil

these gariands upon the brow OF Winfield
Scott Hancock. As the statue stood with
its face towards the South he could almost
hear Lincoln repeat these noble words

Accident at the Con. Imperial mine
Mine Men Killed, N One se-
riousIy Wounded.
By Telegraph to the Sentinel

[By Telegraph to the sentnei.l
SAN Francisco, September II.
A Virginia dispatch states that an acct
dent at the Con. Imperial mine last night.
resulted in the death of nine men, and one
dangerously hurt. The 3 o'clock shift was
coming off, the cage, with ten men on IL,
had started for the surface, when the cable
broke. precipitating them down the shalt,
some 300 feet. and 1,400 feet of cable piled
no on them. Three men rave been taken
out. two of whom are dead the other is
not expected to live. 1t will be some hours
before the others can be got out.
Further Particulars.
GOLD HILL, September 1.-THE follow
ing are the names of those killed in the
Con. Imperial last night: John Roach,
Patrick Murphy, Dick Ryder, Thomas
Meagher, Mat Winnie, Joseph Mammalian.
William Corbett, George Farnham and
Jerry Sullivan. Most of the bodies are
terribly mangled. The men were got out
at A a. 10. Roach talked nationally when
found, but died when coming up the shaft.
Frank Smith. the only man saved, is rest
ing easily. lie has no external injuries.
The cable broke at the reel, and for some
inexplicable reason the safties did not catch.
The cable was of the best English make,
four and a half inches by one-half inch.
1t was in use only three months. The
shaft was in charge of Ryder. pumpman,
and the pump shift was changing at the
same time with the other shift. Ryder was
in under the cage, on which was found an
ak with the helve broken eight inches
from the poll. The only explanation of the
accident is that this ax-handle caught in
the timber, causing a strain which broke
the cable. The engineer on duty says,
however, everything appeared to be run
ming smoothly when the cable broke.
