New YoRK, April 21.-The Herald has
an editorial headed " A Beached Admins
t~ration," in which it says 1--WE are sim
cerely anxious to see Garfeld's Admins
tration fairly under way. To use a sea-
faring phrase, it may be said to have gone
aground before crossing the bar. The
only definite policy that we have yet heard
announced from Garfeld's friends is, that
he has made up his mind to be a candidate
for a second term. An Administration
that begins on the level on which Garfield
now finds himself, does not give the coun-
try that assurance for a successful term of
Office which his genius and his character
led us to suspect. As it now stands, things
could not be more unfortunate for himself
than the whole political situation. Con-
gress is at a deadlock. The Senate is over
run with hot, passionate debates. I'm
portant departments of the Government
are at a standstil., because Of the failure
of the Senate to confirm the nomination.
The storm OF sectional luminosity rises
higher than we have seen it since the anti
bellum debates in 1861. The President is
entangled in a local political snarl, and
the country, instead OF being invited to
contemplate some grand craftsmanship
like policy for the development of its re-
sources, is asked to take part in a quarrel
between New York politicians, as to who
shall have control of the Custom-house.
The only way out of this wrangle is for the
President to assert himself and take COM
mand of the Administration, and put aside
the crowds OF time servers and s~ycophants
who always fit about the White House,
and fawn and iatter in the hope of prefer
ment."
A Railroad Accident.
CHICAGO, April 21.-A Clinton, Iowa,
special says: AT 5 o'clock this morning,
as the night express train west bound, on
the Rock Island division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad, was
moving at ordinary speed across the ~trestle-
work over the Meredosia River, a mile
south of Albany, Ill.,, the trestle gave way,
and the train was suddenly precipitated
into the river. The train consisted OF en-
CINE and tender, baggage car, passenger
and sleeping cars. All ven down except
the sleeper, which hangs over the end Of
the bridge at an angle Of As degrees. The
upper end was high in the air. Two cars
hoated down the stream, the passenger
coach lodged against an island forty miles
away and the baggage car stuck in the
middle of the stream about the same dis
n off. Only the roofs Of the two cars
are now in sight. Engineer West and the
fireman, name unknown, went down in the
cab, and nothing has been seen since of
the locomotive OF men. The b~aggageman,
brakeman, messenger and conductor Thos.
Fuller, all escaped uninjured. Eleven
passengers were in the forward car, includ-
ins a woman and two children; of these
two men jumped ashore as the floating car
passed an abutment of the wagon bridge,
another leaped, but fell back and was
drowned. The woman and child, and a
boy, were taken off the car after it lodged
at the island, and the other six passengers,
including q little child, were drowned.
These, together with the engineer and
fireman, make eight lives lost.
Exciting Debate In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 21.--In the Senate
yesterday, Frye Of Maine, Blaine's heir.
made an ultra bloody shirt speech, pre-
senting numerous alleged election outrages
in the South, having them enrolled on
manuscript.
Butler said Frye made use Of the old
dodge Of politicians and lawyers, Of calling
"Stop thief" in order to direct public at
tention from the real issue. The real
question was: Had there been q disgrace
full bargain in this Senate by which the Of
fees of the Senate were to be turned over
to those to whom they do not belong?
Burnside-Or whether the majority shall
rule or not?
Butler-That has nothing to do with it.
Burnside (excitedly)-I say there has
been nc bargain, and any man who says
there has been, says what is false.
Butler paused before making a reply,
which pause was taken advantage Of by
Burnside to repeat the statement that if
any one said there was bargain it was
false.
Butler quickly = The Senator may
characterize it as false as much as he
pleases. / say that in as much as the
Senator has saw fit to say that the charge
in this chamber.
Burnside I say any man who says there
is q bargain says what is false, and now
the Senator may say what he likes. I say
1t is false, false, false, emphasizing each
REPETITION of the word with a blow of his
clenched hand upon his desk), in every
word, in letter and in spirit. Laughter
and applause. I have heard this thing
long enough.
Butler then turned his attention to Frye's
and said the Solid South would not
be dissolved by Federal patronage. 1t
would not be dissolved by abuse, ~vitupera-
ton or misrepresentation. 1t would not
be bullied into dissolution. The Senate
then adjourned.
The Democratic Policy is to Vote
with COnklfng.
WASHINGTON. April 21.--Senator Frye's
speech yesterday had the effect Of putting |
new phase entirely upon the contest over
the confirmation Of Robertson. The DEM
ocratic Senators believe Frye was put forth
as the spokesman Of the Administration
md Of Blaine. The Democrats are very
indignant over Frye's speech. An Asso-
Press reporter interviewed thirteen
Senators last night from the
north and south. and all expressed the
same opinion and purposes. They said
the Administration was evidently trying
TO appear more stalwart thar Conkling
his friends. One Democratic Senator
said that he talked with nearly all Of his
and that they we're now of the
that the Democratic policy is to
vote with Conkling to reject Robertson.
