THE FLOODED DIsTRIcr.-Dispatches
from Wheeling, W. Va, say that complete
search of the flooded district falls to make
any addition to the death list, but makes q
correction necessary without changing the
total of the lost. Caul Bell, whose name
was placed in the list of drowned, is all
right but his place in the fatal list is taken
by William Richie, aged IS. who was lost in
the Baltimore and Ohio bridge disaster The
county authorities have appropriated 50 600
for the relief of the destitute, aud $500 have
been contributed by private persons. The

the flood, has been restored, much to the
relief of many hundred families, whose ia.

at work repairing bridges and washouts,
but it will be weeks before traffic is resumed.

IT Is reported that the chief objection the
republican Senators had to the confirmation
of Mr.. Fuller to be Chief Justice of the u.
S. Supreme Court, was the fact thatehe was
copperbesd during the war, and that
some of them now say if the democratic
President thought war letter written by
Young Mr.. Blackburn, Southern soldier,
during the war, sufficient reason for reVok
ing his commission as an internal revenue
collector, surely they were justified IN op'
posing the con6rma alton, for such an impor'
tant position as that Of Chief Justice, OF q
Northern man who, during the war, bad
supported every anti war measure that was
proposed in his State, and had opposed the
arrest of Mr.. Vallandigham. For the sake
of democrats as we'll as republicans the war
had better be over.

To the editor Of The Alexandria Gazette:
l see in your valuable paper what purports to
be some of the "kith and kin" of Cousin Ben
Harrison the republican nominee for President
of the United States. Such kith and kin, should
think, any man would BIO proud of, even son OF
an adopted son of the great State of Indiana.
Doubtless Cousin Ben is great and good man,
but like come other Northern. born men, he seems
to have great sntipsthy to the South. have
been told that on one occasion he was being con-
graduated on being descendant Of Virgnians,
when he replied, 81 thank God wss not born
south of Mason and Dixon's line" AS Cousin
Ben takes no stock in his Virginia cousins am
quite sure Cousin Ben's Virgins cousins will
take no stock in him.

BY A law OF Congress enacted for the es-
pecial purpose of excluding ex Confederates
and Southern sympatbizers from the police
force Of the District of Columbia, it is pro-
vided that appointments to positions In tnat
force ehall be made only from the class OF
persons honorably discharged from the u 3.
army aud navy. But, as there is an age
limit in the law, it now, by the lapse of time'
also excludes those who fought Cd the Union
side during the war. and leaves the protec
ton of the property of the people OF the ma
tional capital to such men as have enlisted
in the u. 8. service since the war. Doubt
less many good men have done SO, but 1t
cannot be denied that as general rule the
character of such men is not such as would
be likely to induce individuals TO select them
as the custodans of their property. For the
good of the country, North as we'll as
South, the sooner all sectional laws are re-
peaed the better it will be.

A Terrible collision.

One of the most disastrous wrecks that has
ever occurred on the Norfolk and Western
Railroad for several years happened at one
o'clock yesterday morning, and resulted in
the death of eleven men. A material ain
going east, in charge of Engineer VIM. Har-
ris and Fireman Geo. Mays. had orders to
lay over at Forest for three trains to pass
but the engineer, by some misunderstanding,
pulled out on the main line when two trains
had passed. About one mile east of Forest,
when the train was running at high rate
of speed, it collided with local freight 60
ing west, 10 charge of Eogineer Henry and
Fireman Donpelly, at the rate of thirty. FIVE
miles per hour. The trains came together
with a terrible crash. piling on top of each
other. When the smoke and dust had clear
ed only two men could be found-the con.
ductor on the material train and brake.
men-whose names could not be learned.
Two wrecking trains we're at once sent to
the scene, one from Lynchburg and the
other from Roanoke, which at once began
work to clear away the debris. The first
bodies recovered were those of Harris and
Mays, the engineer and fireman on the ma
terial train, both of which were horribly
mangled and scalded. Next was Engineer
Henry, who was scaIded until the ssh drop
ped from bic face and arms, presenting a
horrible sight. Afterwards the bodies of
brakemen, who were all colored, were found
in different parts of the wreck. All theee
lived in Lynchburg, aud their names, up to
this time, have not been learned. All the
bodies have been recovered, SO far as known,
except that Of Fireman Donnelly, of Ro.
anoke. 1t is njsctured that he was coal
ing the engine at the time of the catastro.
pine, and his body will, probably, be found
in the furnace Of his locomotive. The only
reason given for the engines coming togeth-
er at such speed is that the engine of the
work train was runping backward. SO that
no light could be thrown from it. The loss
to the railroad is estimated at from two
hundred aud fifty to three hundred thous
and dollars. The conductor on the work
train seems to be tho only person who dis
covered the dagger 10 time to jump from the
train, thereby escaping with only 4 few
bruises. O1e brakeman miraculously escsp-

himself, but that his heart failed him when

The result is the return of nearly forty indct-
ments. The grand jury found that anonymous

county. Upon receiving the threatening epis.cs
the whites met. armed and escorted out Of the
county the negroes implicated. The grand jury
succeeding in tracing the anonymous thrests to
the Office of the County Clerk, David Ferguson,
one of the eighteen negroes banished. His Office
was opened and fragments of anonymous notes,
which evidently had not seemed to be satisfactory,
were found on the floor Experts pronounce the
handwriting to be that of J. w. Ramsey, young
South Carolina negro in the employ Of Fers us)n
as clerk. The Immediate motive for the seEd-
ing of the warnings was found in the fact that
Ferguson and d. w. Lewis the negro county
Judge, hsd been indicted by former grand jury
for hsbitusl drunkenness, the penalty for which
was removal from office. The intention was to
create reign of terror and break the force of the
prosecution. Ferguson was one of the Arkansas
slternates to the republican convention at Chics-
90 He was serving his third term as Clerk of
Crittenden county, an Office worth $4,000 per
