AT about eleven o'clock last night, a
dispatch was received in this city, request
ing the presence of DR., Parker, at point,
little above Mound City, on the Vinccnnes
road Owing to the fact that the passenger
train had not yet arrived at that hour, the
report at once spread that serious accident
had occurred, by which several passengers
were serious injured. The train arrived
here at about II 80 o'clock, when we learn
| ed from the conductor that the services OF
Dr. Parker were required to set the arm Of
q brakeman, who had met with little mis-
hap VILE in the discharge Of his duty on a
freight train at the point aforesaid. HIS
train was delayed by coming IN contact
with freight car, which was standing on
the main track few miles above Mound
City and which ceused one of the coaches
to jump the track.
Day before yesterday the News stated
that Mr. Lon. Daniels was one of the party
that did the $500" daubing and thought
it was fixing the guilt upon that gentleman
by stating that the colored porter, Wade
Hampton had seen him at it. But last night
Mr. Hampton called at this office and denied
the statement of the News in the most
emphatic terms. He said he had not, al
any time. told the News man, or any other
man, that Mr.. Daniels was one Of the party
and with much enthusiasm and emphasis
pronounced any man who would accuse him
of having said ita-vell, the Imagination
of the reader may supply the word. This
being thusly, tits evident that the News
accused Mr.. Daniels without cause and
right here, We take occasion TO whisper it
into the ear of its editor that, of course, his
false accusations and fierce denunicatlons
hurt-but no one, but himself.
General Judson Fitzpatrick, Of Deck
ertown, New Jersey, who was anxious in
1876 to "wag bloody-shirt campaign with
plenty of money" and who is now max
ing bloody.shirt speeches, had an awkward
experience with Poughkcepsie audience
the other night. His first mention of Gen.
Hancock's name instantly provoked loud
and long continued applause. The general
was stunned for moment, and then re-
turned to the charge, and eulogized the
Credit Mobilier candidate. Garfeld's name
was the signal for storm of Kisses and
other marks Of dsapproval. Then the
speaker started to talk about the Demo
cratic candidate, and the name Of Hancock
again set the audience to cheering wildly
Fitzpatrick finally finished his speech, and
left the hall in deep disgust with Pough'
kecpsie audiences
The News made no attempt last even
| Ing to disprove or weaken our review Of
Mr.. Nellis' communication, which leaves u:
to conclude that our position on the grave
question" is nvulurable. But there is on,
notable feature in Mr., Nellis' communica
ton which affects US rather disagreeably
We certainly had reason to expect that, at
ter he had been prevailed upon to set him
selfright before the people, he would make a
full defense as circumstances would per
nit, but he tailed to make the point which
OF all others, might tend in measure t.
paliate his guilt, name y: that he will ye
comply with the demands of his contract
He seems To have studiously avoided say
ing anything that might lead one to be
lieve that he desires to stand by his sigma
turc, and leaves no alternative but to cor
clnde that the soc reason Of his failure
larry out of his contract lies in his will
that, in fact, he has no intention of bring
ing down gravel, even though the river b
forty feet over the chain.
