A Terrible Disaster,

\ dispatch from London, OHtario, on Tues

was returning from Spfiugbank, and when
near the Cove railway bridge, one mile below

the water edge. All the passengers we're
instantly plunged into the stream, more than
half Of them being underneath the debris
The first news Of the disaster which reach the
city was brought by survivors, who strugs led
through the streets wet aud weary. Inc
news tell like a thunderb0lt, and \ Stampede
took place for the spot Arriving there a
horrible sight met their view. Fifty or sixty
bodies had already been recovered, and we're
lying on the bank. Those arriving from the
city from every direction crowded around

Governor Hamilton's --latest Effort.

We have not had time to more than
glance at Gov. Hamilton's speech in Bal
timore on Thursday night, but it seems to
be in the line of his hurried message to
the last Legislature and his letter to Brad
lev johnson and others, called out, we
doubt not, at the Governors own solicita-
ton. These same views were submitted
to a regularly authorized body Of the Dem
ocratie party in lSSO-we mean the Leg
isIatiye Democratic caucus-aud SO rcvolu-
tionary and unwise were many of them,
that they were repudiated. This persist
ence of Governor Hamilton in endeavoring
to control the party is evidence enough
that he is not party man, and that he
prefers the triumph of his own views and
the accomplishment of his own purposes
to the success of the Democratic party
He has undertaken to carry the next Leg
islature by abusing the last, and to control
the nomination for Comptroller by abusing
the management of Mr.. Heating, His
apparent interest in the welfare of the
State and his professions of economy, are
but blinds to get control Of the party ma
chinery for his own purposes. lie may
disavow this, if he will, but his actions con-
firm tho belief He seems to labor under
the hallucination that he alone constitutes
the party, aud that all its principles and
purposes are in his keeping, and it is time
he be made to know that his dogmatism
is not palatable to the Democrats Of the
State. He seems to believe that because
suggestion comes from him, it ought
speedily to be adopted.

Who Constitute the Party.

We commend to Gov Hamilton, 10 Mr.
Bannon, 10 Mr.. Heukle and their few fol-
lowers, the following short paragraph from
the Port Tobacco Times, which states ac-
eurately who constitute the Democratic
party of Maryland, and the position of
others calling themselves Democrats who
do not bow to the win Of the majority
sThe Democratic party Of the State, as We
understand il, consists OF all voters Sho be
lieve and adhere to The principles and doc
,riAes Of the great Democratic party OF the
country. and its regular councils are deterul-
iaed by the rnmis,skable rules Of political
discipline. Its highest and sapreme esancil .
the duly called State convention, its regular
and only legitimate local council IS the daily
called county convention, aad, during the
session OF the Legislature, the regular eAa-
cuses Of the Democrats Of the tSo Houses that
constitute that body are the only legitimate
co49eils Of the party, and every one protes-
siss; 10 be Democrat who refuses TO cooper
ate With these eoareils aust be set down as a

Political Pugilism.

Under this caption. HarPers Weekly,
Republican oracle, treats the Garfield and
Conklins contest over the confirmation Of
Robertson, as "mere mill Of partisan
politics:
ssMr. Conkling finds himself confronted BY
a more skillful and powerful arm than his
own, and to use the lingo most appropriate to
his performances, his head is in chaReery.
Mr.. HAYES and Mr.. Evarss were not political
prailists. and ia dealing with them Mr.. Conk.
inv had his own way. Their friends used 70
reproaeh them for quietly lying down aad
psrmitting thsir antagonist to dance war
dances upon them, while the admirers OF Ar,
eonkIine we're never very Of celebrating his
pre- eminent greatness as displsysdiu obstrnet'
ing the confirmation of postmaste-s and col
iectors. Mr.. Hayes and his friends were oniy
straaeled with their own lasso Of reform
Those who felt this do not make the same
complaint of President Garfield. They see
him as a political athlete enter the lists, and
with one powerful blow, knock bis antagonist,
who has invited the encounter, into cooked
hat. 1.-THE President had taken the pleasure
of Mr. Conkling, thsre would have been no
opposition from that geatleman. Bat now,
we presume. tue GHDFt Nv datAASAf WI eI
abandoned The whole disagreezbis speeta-
Gle arises from the practice Of regarding the
public service as the piunder of a party o. the
peTaaisites Of faction. This Is Mr.. Coax
1ingfs view, and to our great regret the Presi-
dent apparently adopted il, and in the seutfie
that ensnes Mr. Gonkling has been soabd'y
tbrasled upon bis oya ground with his own
shillalah."
We give the Substance Of tie article
only, to show our readers the situation Of
the contest from Republican standpoint.
Our surprise vas excited that this refined
journal of civilization should have in
.lulged in the patel Of the shOulder-hi'ter,
IN considering contest between the Pres
ident and leading Senator Of the RePub-
liean party, the party Of great moral
ideas"
