A frightful ac cident occurred on Saturday night last on the Eastern Railroad, seven miles from Boston, by which twenty one passengers were killed outright and some forty or Sfty s more wound ed.

Per haps it was his. own fault, but he prayed to be luckier in future. This speaker, it seems, hits the .nail on ttte head with refreshing squareness. I No perm has a right to believe in the truth of these "spiritual maul- festations" except upon the evidence of his oWn SPEISPIO, and since these may often deceive us, even their au- thority is not the best possible.

Commencing with the : victory in Connecticut, the defeat of the rebels and Ku-klux in their ef forts to annul the reconstractinn con stitution of North Carolina followed. The victory, for such we are enabled to mil it in Kentucky the other day, .whereby the old Democratic major ity of 70.000 was reduced to barely Ilo„000, has given fresh vigor to the. , siktrits of the party, which augurs well for success for the coming elec tions in Ohio, Indiana; and Keep the ball rolling.

The Republican Legislature of 1868 passed an act, still on the statute books, fixing the number and com pensation of t he otilwrs of each branch of the Legislature. The number of Akers of the Sea ate was fixed at I chief clerk, 2 assis tants, 4 transcribing clerks, 1 libra rian, I sergeant-at-arms and 2 assis tants, 1 messenger and twoaasistants; 1 superintendent of the folding room and 6 pesters and folders, I door keeper of the rotunda, 1 postmaster, 1 fireman and five pa„,--32 in all. The RePublitun Senate of 1869 Was organized In strict compliance with this law, the Republican members presenting a resolution for the elec tion of candidates for the places above named, no more and no less. illut, before their election took place, the DetappratAewmhers, ju,show their uonviietion that '6l4' WaCiiroviding more offices than the S nate really needed, put forward Mr. Burnett and Mr.M'Candless to offer an amend ment to the resolutton, for. the elec tion of a smaller number 01 officers, to wit: by leaving out one of the assistant memenger, the postmaster, and all the posters and folders. For this amendment all the Democratic Senators voted, the vote standing 15 to IS. The Democratic Senators, when in the minority, thus placed them selvs on the record as believing that this was all the Senate needed, in the way of otlicers—that the act of 1868 was, in fact, too liberal. In 1871 the Democrats, had, acci dentally, a majority in the Senate. Did they oirry out, then, their pro gramme of 1869; Let us see. They put thiemselves on record, then, as thinking that the Senate had uo uasters and folder, and that body could get along with les3 officers than the law allowed. lint the mo ment they came into power, they proceeded to elect not only all the officers authorized by the law of 1868, but more than the legal number, al though that act positively prohibits the election of any greater number of officers by either branch. As for in stance : The law of Is6B allows tiro assis taut clerks_; the Democratic Senate had three ; the law allows only four' transcribing clerks; they had fire; ; the la* authorizes two ; assistant doorkeepers; they had three; the law provides for sir 'rasters and folders; they had eight.; They had also three fireman, where - the law allows but librarian, for none of which was there any provision of law, to say nothing of nine pages, where th could le gallyetriploy but fire. We thus find 15 Democratic Sena tors voting in 1869 that the senate needed no pastern and folders, and I 7 Democratic Senators in 1871 voting to employ atal pay nine (including the superintendent) of these useless Officers. The same 15 Senators de clared in 1869 that the law of 1863 was too liberal, and allowed more officers than the Senate needed; whilst the 17 Senators voted the number altogether too small, and proceed to multiply nTv officers without stint. The difference is, the 15 were in the minority ; the 17 were in the majority. It Is a very re trenching and economical party when it is out of power, but a very expensive one when it gets in. The law of 1868 authorizes t Sen ate to elect or employ 32 officers, in cluding every subordinate; the Demo cratic Senate of 1871 elected or em ployed 49 officers-17 inure than the law allowed, and 26 more than the Senate really needed, themselves being judges, as is evidenced by their vote for Burnett's resolution in 1869. But this is not all. The act of 1868 fixed the compensation of all these officers, and enacted that under no circumstances should they be per mitted to draw more pay or receive any extra allowance. This whole some provision of law was totally disregarded by these Democratic re trenchers. The pay of nearly all the officers is fixed by that law at $6OO each ; but the 49 officers em ployed by the Democratic Senate have already been paid 347,994.50 or an average of nearly a thousand dollars each. Look, people of Pennsylvania, at these figure. The ply of the of ficers of the Republican 6enate of Ifi7o was V.11,466A;5, and the total cost of the session was $92.0iii.:17). The pay of the officers of the Democratic 'senate of 1871 was $.47,904.50, nearly cloahle Mal of the previous session, and the total expenses of the session, thus fir paid are $140,71)7.68. As there are 'probably over $lO,OOO of claims under this head yet unpaid, it is perfectly safe to put down the total cost of the late Democratic Senate at $150,757.68—an increase over the expense) of the preview Republican Senate of $48,49743. This is a fair illustration of Demo cratic precept and practice. That party is profuse in economical pro fessions, when out of power ; but in variably, when in power, plunges into extravagance.

The New York Sim tells a story about the loss of the Central Amerl atu Con pany 's steamer Golden Rule, froni. New York for Carey town, in May, 1865, in the. Uarribeau Sea, by which it is made toi appear that the veesel was designedly-steered upon a• - reef to cover up the robbery of over a minima dollars of United States treasure, or at least that this treasure was stolen from a safe on board be fore the vessel sunk or went to piect. The money was in charge of special agents for delivery to the Assistant. , Treasurer at San Francisco. All on board the vessel save one man, nam ed Victor Smith, one of the special agents, were taken to Aspinwall. Smith remained on the reef, having resolved to stay by the wreck until assistance should come. Ho wrote to the Secretary of the Treasury, and after the lapse of some time wreckers were sent to aid him' in an effort to recover the treasure, which he be lieved to be yet iu the safe. In the search, before the safe bad been reached, a bundle of 7:30 'lofts was found, and lu examining the differ- I eat packages it was discovered that from one of them, originally contaltr ing $30,000, three notes of Y5OO each had hecOritastracted, showing that . 4 had emerged fibin the safe and beer manipulated before the ship went to, Pieces.Tpesafe waslinally found; brokenopen and empty.

John Scott, editor of The Oakland Tran script, and a lively fist-tight ensued, the General being eventually re moved by his friends.

A Fearful Volcanic) Eruption LONDON, Aug. ls.—Batuvia pa pers received by overland mail, via India, contain the details of a terri ble 6tiamity which - has visited. the small island of Fagolanda, in the Mayla, archipelago, about 51) miles north-east of the island of Celbus. The volcano of Bawling broke out after a long interval of inactivity; it was preceded by a terrible earthquake which unroofed the dwellings and rent their walls asunder. The erup tion was of a fearful character, anti several craters opened around the side of the volcano, and continued their action at the same time, the rap Ty of the explosions causing an awf roar, which Was heard all over the neighboring islands. The out break was accompanied by a concus sion of the sea, and a wave forty yards in height, issuing with the speed of lightning, swept all the hu man beings, cattle and horses from the surface of the island. Prom ev ery creater proceeded flashes of elec tric lightning and volumes of smoke, Red hot stones were disrupted, and fragments of rock, and currents of mud were thrown with immense form high lute the air, and the earth was rent open all around the volcano. Besides covering the whole surface of the island, the matter accumulated in some places forming hills several hundred feet high. Amidst the most terrific explosion an island sud denly rose up from the sea. Four hundred and sixteen persons, all Malays, are said to have perished by the eruption. Not a single being on , the island could be saved. —.l Kansas man is in jail for let• tine a neighbor's mule follow him. —"l'm not used to begging," said a little girl to at lady of whom she had asked alms, "cause only two weeksiligo my lather Wits 3 as tnerchatit: "Why, child, how could he be reduc ed to poverty . sosoon ?"
