Frederic William I. of Prussia, un-
like his father, Carlyle's magnificent
Herr was an extremely thrifty mon
arch. whose household expenses, as
we'll as his State Budgets, were regu-
lated by his own hand upon principles
of the strictest economy. Madgeburg.
sent him annually the first salmon
taken from it's river, and other cities
regularly supplied him with the first
fruits of respective specialities in the
eating and drinking line. Private per-
sons, too, well aware of his partiality
to the good things of this life, as well
as his vehement objections to pay for
them, sent their offerings of delicacies
by the score, accompanying their gifts
by explanatory letters couched in the
highfoWn phraseology that then char
acterized all communications address
ed by subject to his sovereign in Ger
many. The king invariably made his
notes on the back of every such letter,
for the guidance Of the Cabinet secre-
tary entrusted with the duty of ac-
knowledging the presents in his name (;

dorsed. A few examples Of this sin

public to judge of its general char
acter.

Gen. Hancock was at one time pres
ident of an immense swindling con-
Germ known as the United Service Pc
troleum and Mining Company, of New
York, with a nominal capital of $780,
600. But there is no more reason to
suppose he was aware of the nature
OF the enterprise when he accepted
than Garfield was of the nature Of the
Credit Mobilier when he declined to
take stock in it. Hancock was as in
nOcent in the petroleum steal, which
amounted to $4,000, as Garfield was
in the award OF the De Golyer paving
contract, for which the democrats
claim he received somewhere from
$4,000 to $4,000. We are ashamed of
those Republicans who cannot take
the little Democratic joke on Garfeld's
back pay without getting mad and
bringing up the Surratt business and
the petroleum exploit.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTERS.
From our Regular Correspondent. ]

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 10th, 1880.
Before this, General Garfeld's letter
of acceptance has been read by every
Republican and by many Democrats
in the country. All that can be said
in praise of any state paper can truly
be said of this. 1t is able, clear, and
courageous, and states in no uncertain
language Republican principles. Dem
ocrats call it weak, because it lacks
the ford literature and splurge of
their own party literature. No die
tionary is needed to decipher it's mean
ing, and child can comprehend it's
meaning. But, with all its simplicity
of word and expression. there shines
from its every line grandeur of
thought and strength OF convictions.
There are already signs of trouble
in the Democratic ranks. Although
Tilden was defeated for the nominal
ton, and his well laid plans set at
naught, it is feared by his. rivals that
he has sufficient strength to control the
party and punish the men who defeat

SENATORIAL CONTENTION.


There will be a mass convention OF
the Republicans of the 8th Senatorial
district, at Geneva, July 2Sth, at IL: 80
A. M, to choose two delegates to the
ensuing Congressional Convention.
All Republican electors residing with
in the district are entitled to partici-
pate in the proceedings.
The undersigned have deemed it ad-
visable to make this change in the
manner of calling the convention, for
the reason that the busy character Of
the season would interfere with the
attendance at the primary conventions
and caucuses, and also for the reason
that many will probably desire to at
tend the mass meeting to follow the
Congressional Convention, and so
could easily be present at the Senate
rial Convention.

BURIED ALTVE.

New YORK, July 21.-At 5 o'clock
this morning the caisson leading to
the entrance of the Hudson River
Tunnel, constructing at 10th street,
Jersey City, caved in, carrying with it
an immense quantity Of earth. Tween
ty-one men were buried. Seven were
soon after taken out bruised, but not
seriously, and the rescuers were labor
ing hard to reach the remaining four
teen.
Meanwhile the water from the river
flowed in rapidly, and steam fire en-
gines were set to work to save those
who might still be alive from drown
ing.

LATER PARTICULARS.

The shocking disaster occurred al
s.: 80 this morning. Twenty-Five mer
lost their lives, while eight had almost
a miraculous escape.
A night gang of thirty men, includ-
ing Assistant Superintendent Wood
ward, and two fremen, entered the
shaft at midnight, the hours Of work
for this gang being from II to s.
The depth Of the shaft is 65 feet,
and while most of the men were en-
ployed at the bottom of the shaft.
about one-third Of the gang was en-
gagged on the brick wall of the arch,
% feet higher.
1t was the latter squad, all brick
layers, that escaped, except two. The
main arch of the tunnel runs out from
the shaft a distance of about thirty
feet, where it opens into two distinct
arches that are to form the tunnel.
Through some negligence of the
men it is supposed the air lock was
not properly adjusted when the process
of shifting commenced.
The brick wall connecting the two
arches gave way, and the water rushed
into the cave.
THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
NEW YORK, July 21.-The follow
ing is the official report of the Hudson
River Tunnel Company, through En-
gineers Speilman and Brush:
"This morning about 4: 80, while the
men were changing shifts, that portion
of the iron roof adjoining the shaft of
the connecting chambers between the
two tunnels and the sinking shaft fell
in.
"Twenty-eight men were in the tun.
mel at the time, of whom eight escaped
through an air-lock and twenty were
killed.
"The accident occurred at the con
nection of iron plates with the brick
wall of the working shaft, which, dur
ing the changing of shifts, was prob
ably not watched by the men as close
ly as it should have been, and thu
compressed air was allowed to escape
'"This compressed air is relied upo1
to assist in supporting the roof, which
was also sustained by strong timbe
bracing, and the escape of air has al
ways been prevented by stopping an,
leaks with the waste silt.
"As the roof fell, the plate CLOSED
the door of the air-lock into the tun
mel, and the water, rising rapidly, Gu
off the escape Of the men, who wer
killed.
"The building of this CONNECTING
chamber, though diff cult piece O
work, progressed until now, the roo
was all in position and securely bolte(
"The connection of the iron plate
with the shaft was being made at tn
time of the accident.
"Work will be prosecuted night an
day with all the men that can b
advantageously employed until tn
bodies are recovered, which will prof.
ably take about three days.
"The accident will probably put tn
work back for about three weeks"

The Family Rudder.

Virginia New Chronicle.]
A Comstocker who was having his hair cut
yesterday afternoon gave the barber particular
Instructions not to remove a long lock that
projected in a somewhat unsightly way from
the front of his head.
"It dom become you," said the barber.
"Can't help that" said the customer.
"Better let me take it off, said the barber.
"Just you leave il as it is" said the man.
"But,' persisted the barber, 81 can't give
you a smooth, decent cut if you leave the hair
so long in front. 1t will look like the very
devil. l can see what you want it left for??'
"That's because you don't know what il is
YOU don't Know the use Of it."
- know it's a bunch of hair, and 1 know
that it's devilish unbecoming just where it is"
"Yes; it's a bunch of hair, and it is some
thing more than a bunch of hair-it's the
family rudder."
"The family what:?'
1.-THE family rudder. When things don't
go right at home my wife always grabs that
lock of hair. She would feel lost without it.
When she gets hold of that she can handle
me-steer me in the right course so to speak
and when l go in the right curse the whole
family go in the right course, and all is well
I've got used to it now and don't mind it.
Should l lose my hair and become bald, Or
should you give me a fighting cut all over,
there would be no way of steering me; l
should become unmanageable, and sooner or
later a total wreck. No, sir: don't you dis
turb the family rudder."

News received from Yogo this week is very

Burt Stowe, who arrived from the new dig

reports heretofore received in regard to the

Socialism,. Nihilism and Communism in
Europe.

The explosion in the Winter Palace at st.
Petersburg will almost certainly lead to
renewed efforts to bring about some under
standing between the European governments
on the aspect of Socialism, Nihilism and
Communism. In such questions England
and Switzerland are the countries most nearly
concerned, and the report of the arrest Of a
suspected Nihilist in Paris shows how soon
they may be brought home to us. One rumor
asserts that the chief of the whole Nihilist
association-a Russian refusee-is living here
in London: and it is known that one most
significant warning of danger was sent to St.
Petersburg from the Russian Embassy in this
capital. 1t is, of course, no easy matter to
draw the line at which a man ceases to be a
political conspirator and becomes ali accessory
to murder, but nothing is more probable than
that ere long some demand will be made upon
Switzerland to expel the Nihilists who 10
have their headquarters in Geneva. If this is
successful we may reckon upon receiving an
other influx here, and London will become
even more than it is to-day the refuge for
political offenders of a more dangerous type
than those of lS4S. Already it is suggested
in more than one quarter that com cause
should be made against these men; and it
will be no easy matter for all English govern
ment to hold the balance even between pro-
lection OF political refugees and connivance
with criminals.
