A DECIDEDLY interesting meeting of the
Seventeenth Ward Republican Club was held
last evening. Mr.. Elliott Anthony took oc-
casion, in connection with some remarks con-
cerning the contemplated robbery in Con-
gress Of the people of Minnesota, to refer to
Bill Springer, Democratic Chairman OF the
Elections Committee, as man with '' the un-
derstanding Of pettifogger and the heart of
a hangman." Mr.. Anthony served with
Springer in the Constitutional Convention Of
1862, and evidently knows whereof he speaks.
References at the meeting to the names of
Blaine and Washburne as Presidential candi-
dates produced applause which showed
plainly settled hostility to the third-term
movement in the Seventeenth Ward Club.

THE Secretary Of the Treasury has writ
ten to the Chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations an appropri-
alton Of 100000 to put the Chicago Custom
House and Post-Ofice Building in proper
condition for occupancy on the Sd. Of May
next. The lease for the building now used
as Custom-House will expire at that time,
and the Secretary does not deem it advisable
that the lease should be renewed. It is to
be hoped that the recommendation of Sec
retary Sherman will be concurrel in, and
that the Custom-House Building will be
ready at the time mentioned.

No strong man elected by the people IN
November next can legally enter upon Liz
Presidential Office until March l. 1851. 1he
person elected, whoever he may be, Will nave
10 more authority over the army OF Inc
United States until March !, 1881. than the
meanest civilian now possesses Ifle strohs
man the Republican party has to depend upon
until that time is Rutherford B. Hayes. OF
Ohio President Of the United States. AS
Mr.. Hayes could do nothing toward puttlhs
himself in in 1877, so Gen. Grant hlmsell, IL
lie should be elected, could now 10 hotlllhg
toward putting himself in. The strongestman
the Republican party can have under these clr-
cumstances is the one who can command tllo
most votes and obtain majority so over
whelming that there can be no possibility OF
conflict. 49,.
The Republican party has claims upon al
Its strong men, and will have the services OF
all if any attempt at usurpation is MADE.
There Is not among them one SO mean a1la
selfish that he would withhold Ills support II
lie should not be the first choice OF the peo-
pie for the Presidency. IT, Mr. Blaine, or
Mr.. Washburne, or Mr. Ednlunds, or Alr. Car
field, or AIr, Window, or any other man IS
fairly elected President of the United States
and it his election is disputed, the people
will see at the head Of the column determined
to put him in Gems. Grant, Sherman, and
Sheridan, and a host of other distinguished
leaders from civil, as well as from military,
life. If our cause is strong, we shall be
strong; and there is no power on earth that
can prevent the Republican party from en-
joying the fruits. Of victory honestly won
whoever may. be the candidate for President.

AN estimate of Blaine's strength in the
Chicago Convention, given byan enthusiastic
supporter in Washington Of the Maine 1nall,
includes the full vote of Indiana, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota; part of
Kentucky; all Of the Pacific Coast States ;
part of the Ohio, Massachusetts,, and Rhode
Island delegations; and I'LL Of Maryland, New
Jersey, Maine, and New Hampshire. It is
predicted, moreover, that Blaine will get
Ohio solid when Sherman shall have been
dropped, which will probably be very early
in the balloting.

TIE Car continues to act with yigor. Ills
ulase defining the powers and nominating
the members OF the Commission Of Supreme
Control is the kind of document which might
be expected from such a source. The Com
mission supe1sedes all previously existing
civil and military tribunals, and confers ab-
solute and despotic power on the head of the
Commission, Gen. Melikoff. Parties sus-
pected of Nihilistic sentiments will have their
cases speedily disposed Of by the Commission,
and many will probably be obliged to under
take journey to Siberia while others will be
more summarily dealt with.

A HOSTILE and aggressive spirit, and de-

to the nations of Continental Europe. Pri-

ing her army and manifesting an unfrlendly

bill passed at the last session Of Congress Is
said to have much to do with the unfriendfy
attitude, and the circumstance Is being used
by the present Chinese Administration as
pretext for renewing q policy Of hostility to
strangers

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE sHENAN-

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE SHENAN-
DoAH VALLEY RAILRoAD.-A serious dis
aster occurred on the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad, at East Liberty, Page county, "a.
on Saturday last. At 2:9O P. M. the en-
tire trestle work, 1890 feet long and "a
feet high, went down with crash in one
promiscuous ruin, instantly killing Wal
ker Johns, of Barboursville, Orange coun-
ty, Va, and seriously injuring Stewart
Bocock, of McGaheysville, Rockingham
county, Va. Loss Sic, 900 or $12, 900. This
accident will probably delay the compile
ton of this section of the road for several
months. Johns fell a distance of 81 feet,
and was simultaneously killed. Bocock
fell about 40 feet, and was injured in the
back and hip, but strange to say, had no
bones broken. About ten other men were
on the trestle at the time it began falling,
but managed to make their escape from
the crashing timbers, some jumping down
as far as 20 feet without injury. The cause
of the accident was heavy gale of wind
blowing. at the time on the unfinished
work. The whole immense superstruc-
ture came down almost in an instant, and
remains now one mass of ruins, a great
portion of the timbers being broker and
rendered useless. The contractors, Messrs.
Miles & Rowland, have gone to work at
once to repair the damage.
