We repeat what we have more than once
said already, that the dispute among the Vir-
GINA Republicans over the question Of uniting
with the Malone party is matter which they
ought to settle among themselves without call
ing upon the Administration to interfere There
should I've no attempt, however, to take snap
Judgment, such as was. made at the meeting of
the Central Committee on the 21st. Ex-SeDa-
tor Lewis was right in assuming to he still
chairman Of the committee when the full and
regular meeting convened yesterday. The
question at issue is one Of grave Importance
in its relations to the politics of the whole
South as well as to those of Virginia, and it
should not be decided in any unfair way. Ii
the State Convention in August commits the
party to an alliance with Malone, it will be
not because of the attitude of his follow
ers toward the State debt but in spite Of it,
The Virginia Republicans, like their brethren
In the North, believe in the fulfilment Of every
honest public obligation. If they join the Re-
adusters it will he because they look upon
both wings of the Democratic party as tarred
with the same stick of reputation, and think
it their duty TO take advantage OF the split to
secure the success of men who favor a fair
ballot and an honest count, and who are fight
ing Bourbonism with ali its stupidity, bigotry
and ingraned hostility to loyalty, progress and
National power.

The elements OF the new comet, which We
print to-day, are cOnft.>s.'dly only approx
nations and more accurate calculations
will have to be made before the idrn-
tity of the comet can he thoroughly set-
tied. During the past year or two Professor
Chandler, IT,, of Boston has made cons lera-
BILE reputation rs a rapid and accurate cOmputcr
of cometary orbits. Assuming, then, for the pres
ent, that his results are the most trustworthy yet
reached il will be seen that the comet passed
its periheliOn, or nearest approach To the san,
on June &c, and is now rapidly rcccd-
ing from both the sun and the earth.
As a necessary consequence the brightness
of the comet and the size of its tail arc
also rapidly decreasing. According to the
ephemeris elsewhere given, the comet will
continue during the next fortnight 10
travel in a portheasterly direction, through
| rather barren part of the sky. 1t will
| reach its highest nOrtherly point on July
| 16, and win be then nearly in a
| straight line between the pointers and the
| Pole Star. AS telescope object, the comet
will remain visible much longer, and will
| doubtless afford to the spcctroscopists nch
| harvest of information concerning the cOnsti-
| tuition Of these strange wanderers.

Nothing could more strikingly exhibit the
favorable condition of labor in this country than
the fact that railroad in the Far West Is en-
listing ten thousand men in England, Ireland
Scotland and Wales, and inducing them by a
two years contract to go across the Atlantic
and more than half across the American con-
tinent in order that it may obtain their services
in the construction Of an extension OF its me
in Colorado and Utah. This means that the De
mand for good workmen is so active IN the
United States that it is impossible to Obtain as
many as the railroad company requires. III
would no doubt he far more expensive to gamer
I'D ten thousand men here and there III different
parts of this busy land than to hire them abroad
and ship them across the sea. Nobody Is long
out of work in America now except those TOO
shiftlcss to look for employment and too lazy
to keep a situation when one comes to them.

A portion of the canned provisions purchased
by the Government in Ncw-YOrk, for the stores
of the Arctic relief ship Rodgers, which sailed
lately from San Francisco, was found to be uniit
for use. Fortunately the discovery was made
before il was too late to replace the rotten
stuff with sound food. The mercantile house
which sold damaged provisions, for the use OF
the brave men who go upon an GRAND OF
mercy to the frozen seas, ought TO suffer the
severe punishment of public scorn. In re-
cent letter from Admiral McClintock, who com
manded one of the Franklin search expeditions
that officer said that he had good reason for
believing that large portion of Franklin
stores of preserved meat proved unfit for use.

RAILR0AD ACCIDENT.


AYLExAN. Sept. 90.
A dispatch from Ayleman, Ont, says an
excursion train collided with q freight train
At Orenell. Five persons killed and several
missing. and about 90 wounded. Out Of >
Messenger coaches 5 are a total wreck.
The cause of the collision is at present in
volved in doubt. The excursion train was
ordered to Aylmore to cross No. 80, freight
train. Arriving there ten minutes ahead of
time, conductor MAXWELL. of the former,
went into the telegraph Office for orders, but
the operator was busy selling tickets. He
appears to have paid no attention to him
though he afterwards said to engineer Walm-
sley, all right, and the latter started, intend
ing to cross the freight at Orwell. two miles
further on. The collision occurred near the
station on a straight piece of road where the
trains could easily be seen two miles.
Engineer Cheesbro of the freight train
saw them and whistled on brakes, and
had almost brought his train to a standstill
when the crash came: at that moment he
jumped, but was caught by the smokestack
of the engine, which rolled over him,
and is probably fatally injured. Fireman
Blackhall saved himself by jumping.
While the trains were some distance apart
neither the engineer or fireman of the ex-
cursion train appear to have seen the freight,
though the engine of the latter kept up
furious whistling to warn them, and they
came crashing on at full speed. Blackhall,
who saw them when fully a mile away, says
they never made the slightest attempt to
stop. This story is cOrrobOrated by several
parties living in the neighborhOod who saw
the collision. One car has not yet been
reached by the rescuers.

FISHING VESSEL
With Thirteen Men Supposed to
be Lost.

GLOUCESTER, Sept. 20. The schooner
Guy Cunningham, which sailed for the bank,
on halibut trip, July 18th, has been given
up as lost She was fine vessel of IS tons,
owned by Mcssrs. Cunningham & Thompson
and valued at So. 800. on which there was an
insurance of 81 $50 in the Gloucester Mu-
the outfit. She had thirteen men on board,
among whom were Henry Gushing of Bucks
port, Me, and Charles johnson of Maine,
both single men. All the others left families.
The blow is a hard one, as they we're among
the best fishermen. 1t is supposed that the
vessel was run down at night by steamer, las
there has not been any severe gales since her
absence.
