Terrible Tunnel Disaster.

Advices from New York of July 81,
state that at s o'clock on that morning the
caisson leading to the Hudson river tunnel,
constructing at Sixteenth Street, Jersey City,
caved IN, carving with it an immense guam
tity Of earth. twenty-five men lost their
lives, while eight had an almost miraculous
escape. The night gang Of thirty men, in.
Guiding assistant superintendent Edward and
two fireman, entered the shaft at midnight,
the hours of work for this gang being from
- to S. The depth OF the shaft is 65 et,and
while most of the men were employed at the
bottom of the shaft, about one.third of the
gang was engaged on the brick wall Of the
arch Is feet higher. It vas the latter squad,
all brick layers, that escaped except two. The
main out Of the tunnel, runs out from the
shaft distance Of about thirty feet, when it
opens in two distinct arches that are to form
the tunnel. through some negligence ofthe
men it is supposed the air lock was not prop
erly adjusted. When the process of shifting
commenced the brick wall conn Getting the two
arches gave way and the water rushed into
the cave. ~ .--- eg

RAILROAD FREIGHTS.

Movement of Companies to Charge Trans
portation by Actual Weight.
/ CHICAGO, July 25.-The railroads have
discovered that they are carrying too much
freight for the money which they receive for
it. A few years ago q freight car was built
SO as to carry about 10000 pounds of mer-
chandise, but repeated enlargement of cars
have brought their capacity at the present
day up to $4,000 pounds. The Eastern
trunk lines have agreed that therefore every
thing shall be weighed at the point of distri-
button and the freight collected by weight.
The western lines will adopt the same rule.
The initiatory steps toward a reform of the
practice of undertaking of freight has been
taken by some of the lines
terminating at Chicago. The three roads
composing the Chicago division of the
Southwestern railway association. viz: the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy; Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific, and Chicago & Alton,
have been charging shippers for the actual
weight Of their freight. Yesterday repre-
sentatives of the Chicago, Milwaukee g. st.
Paul, Illinois Central, Chicago & Northwest
ern, and Chicago and Eastern Illinois rail-
ways met by invitation at the Office of Com
missioner Midgely and agreed to collect rate
charges on all shipments according to actual
weight of the car load. The weighing will
be performed by outside parties who shall be
under the pay of all the lines centering in
the city. Commissioner Midgely was re-
quested to draw up an agreement which will
be submitted to the lines for signature at an
adjourned meeting to be held on next Tues
day.

"a Free Ballot and Fair Count"

One of the best sentences in General
Hancock's letter of acceptance, which
left upon the mind the same impression
of neatness and vacancy as a school
boys copy-book, was that in which the
candidate of the Democracy demanded
ga full vote, free ballot and fair connt."
1t was an excellent sentiment, to which
every Republican would heartily sub
scribe. But Gen. Hancock's letter pro-
fessed to be a statement of Democratic
principles. With the platform to which
it was response it was an appeal to the
country to trust the $4,000 offices of the
Government in the hands of the Demo-
cratic party. The question for voters
therefore is, not whether the declaration
is a sound one, but whether, being put
forth by the Democratic party is a fraud
and cheat. The answer is easy.
1t is in the South that the Democratic
party does its perfect work. There are
no steadily Democratic States north of
Delaware. In the South the party has
gained complete control. In the South,
therefore, it has had noble opportuni-
ty to put into practice Gen. Hancock's
motto of "a full vote, free ballot and fair
" count" Has it done so? What are
the facts? Let US look for moment
at this dark page in American history.
Even Democrats will admit that by
the year 1872 the Democratic party was
well organized in every Southern State.
In Alabama, for example, in that year.
the Democratic vote was only 10000 less
than it was in the election of 1878, two
years ago. Yet this is the way in which
the Republican party prospered under
the rule of the party of "a free ballot
and fair count" the figures being the
v0tna cost in tha vpars na mad.

The Sweet Scented Onion.

How dear to my he.rt are the scenes Of Ber-
muda,
When fond recollection presents them 10
view;
That jolly round onion,
That silver-skinned onion,
That sweet-scented onion which grew in this
isle.
How sweet from the hot frying pan to re
ceive it.
As poised On my fork it inclnes to my lips;
Not full state dinner would tempt me TO
leave II,
Though coupled with nectar that Jupiter
sips;
That jolly round onion,
That silver-skinned onion.
The sweet-scented onion which grew in the
isle.
And now far removed from that loved situ-
ation,
Tears of regret will instinctively fall;
As fancy reverts to Bermuda plantations,
And sighs for the onion wherever We go;
That jolly round onion,
That silver skinned onion,
The sweet scented onion which grew in the
isle. Lawrence American.

Every one of these States-and at
least one other, North Carolina-would
be Republican upon full vote, free
ballot and fair count. Gen. Hanco ok
knows it. Every Democrat knows it.
But simply to serve the purposes of the
illustration, let US say that these five
States are fairly Republican. They give,
all told, SO electoral votes, which will
honestly belong to James A. Garfield.
The South could then give Gen. Hancock
only 80 electoral votes at best, and he
could never by any possibility be Presi-
dent of the United States. By all means,
let us have "a full vote, free ballot and
+" fair count."-N. Y. Tribune.

And we'll chant the name OF Garfield

This is what the Republican party
of Mississippi has come to through fear
of Ku-Klux assassins, through the ope-
ration of the tissue-ballot, through the
frauds of Democratic canvassers. And
Gen. Hancock has the assurance to pirate

Take the case of South Carolina, where
the two parties were SO evenly divided
four years ago that it took four months
to decide the electoral vote of the State.
This is what the rifle clubs and tissue
ballots, the assassins and swindlers of
the party led by Wade Hampton and
Hamburg Butler, have done for the Re-
publican party in South Carolina in two
years:
Dem. Rep.
1876 90,S96 91,7S6
1878. 1850 213
1t shonld be noticed that in spite of
the notorious and universal use of the
tissue-ballot in 1878, the Democratic
vote shows an increase of only $4,000
votes. The Republican vote shows a
decrease of 1000 votes. Supposing for
the sake Of argument that the Demo
cratic votes were honest, it would still
be true that $4,000 votes were withheld
from the ballot-boxes. Why this change
in two years? Was it sudden indiffer-
ence on the part of the blacks, whose
greatest pride it is that they are citizens
and voters, or was it chilling fear

the same showing. Here is the record
