A COWAaD-s CONSCIENCE.
Preparations 60 Wreck a Pas
senger Train-A Villain Taken
Up IA "a Hero, and Locked
Up as a Thief.

NEWARK, o., August 14-As an
excursion train from Columbus on the
Panhandle division of the Pittsburg,
Cincinnati and st. Louis railroad was
making up time yesterday, and was
dartlng around a curve this side OF
Walnut station, between Columbus
and Newark, the engineer spied a man
pulling an ugly looking obstruction
from the track, and whistled down
brakes" His train came to a stand
still considerably beyond the place,
and the hero (?) was taken on board,
when forthwith many extravagant ex-
pressions of gratitude were heaped
upon him.
But the cunning conductor tele-
graphed to Doc. Brooke, railroad
policeman here, to be on hand when
the train arrived and take the man in
charge. SO when the train reached
Newark, the man was given over into
Brooke's keeping, all the while pro-
testing innocence, and demanding that
the company give him a liberal remu-
neration as an equitable return for his
service to them in averting a terrible
smash-up, as the embankment at that
place was of formidable height, and
down this gaping ditch the long ex-
oursiou train would, beyond a doubt,
have been hurled had the ingeniously
mounted obstruction remained undis-
turbed.
But Brooke is not easily 5luffeG O.
wheedled. He has had enough ex-
perience thoroughly to understand
the requisite methods, and in an en-
tirely Legitimate way finally induced
the mar to make a clean confession.
1t will be remembered that this COM
pauy and the Baltimore and Ohio
company manipulate the same track
between Columbus and this place.
This marvellous fend, whose name is
William Heatherington, had been at
tending the reunion at the former
place, aud yesterday morning boarded
a Baltimore and Ohio train coming
this way. But at Walnut station
Conductor Peck ousted him from the
train for refusing to pay his fare. The
Infatuated man madly swore ven
eance, and running some distance
IOWA the track deliberately piled up
Cies in such a way as to insure a total
wreck aud then withdrew a short dis
lance to watch the impending disas-
ter.
When he heard the train. thunder
ing on the opposite side of the curve
his conscience made a coward of him,
OF. rather summoned back his truant
manhood, and he rem and tumbled the
ties off barely in time to a V a terri
BILE wreck. Conductor Peck visited
the city prison and identified him as
the mar he had put off bis train at
Walnut station. The man, though
perfectly sober when the crime was
committed, yet had a mild form of
bust head from the previous nights
.carOusal.
1t was a deliberate crime, aud but
for the poignancy of a quickened con
science there would have been s.augh-
tered-who knows how many-iuno-
cent ones? Instead of the railroad
company making up a handsome purse
for him, the memorable law will exac.
its severest penalty, for the proof
against him is conclusive and a term
in the penitentiary bis inevitable fate.

Senator HampIOE's Speech at
StaunlOn.

New York Her1l, 16th.l
A narrowing paragraph, purporting
to be a literal extract from a dreadful
speech made by Senator HAMPTON, Of
South Carolina, at Staunton, Va, on
July 20, 10 having an extensive
circulation in the partisan republican
press, and furnishes q text for
the most paroxysmal exhibitions of
campaign rhetoric. One journal 10
this city keeps it standing at the head
Of It's editorial page. L represent
Mr.. Hampton as urging the support of
General Hancock for president on
the ground that the political princi-
pies Of the democratic party are the
same for which Generals Lee aud
Jackson fought in the rebellion.
A report of this speech, which we
have received from Senator Hampton
and print in another column, does mo-
contain the paragraph In question.
We find in it predictions of evil col
sequences to result from the possible
election of General Garfield which are
e%xtrayagaut. such as that "we
shall behold no mora free elections
and no more untrammeled expression
of political sentiment" but it Goa
tains no phrase which is literally like
that which republican journals and
speakers put into bis mouth, nor any
which by a fair CONSTRUCTION can be
tortured into its significance.
Turn and turn about" is no more
than fair. Since the republicans
deem that Mr.. H%amptOn's view of what
are the principles Of the democratic
party is SO valuable, for the sake Vi
fair play let them now quote for a
while his view of what the principles
Of their own party are.
