ous for dispute that this result was a serious
disappointment to the administration, hence
the straits to which the Itettirnitifr Hoard was
put to reverse the dc-c!s-on of the people. As
anticipated bv those who had witnessed the
1 proceedings of the Iteturnlnir Hoard at former
elections, it reversed the decision made by the

James W. Nye, formerly United States
Senator from Nevada, died at White Plains,
X. Y., ou last Monday week. He was a
n itivo of the State in which he died, and
was a man of "infinite jest and humor,"
being regarded as tho leading wit of tho
Senate during his term of cflice. He had
a peculiar facility for borrowing money
from Horace Greeley ar.d never returning
it. Apropos of this peculiarity it is said
that when President Lincoln was in trouLlo
about a successsor or Secretary of the
Treasury Chase, who had been transferred
.o the office of Chief Justice, Gieeley wrote
to Lincoln and told him to appoint "Jim
Nye," of Nevada, for the reason that from
his (Greeley's) experience, Nye could bor
iot more money and pay less back than
any cither man in the United States, and
hence he thought that he (Nye) would be
the right mau in the right placo as Secre
taiy of he Treasury. But Lincoln, railing
to see it. in that light, appointed Win. P.
Pessenrien, at that lime a Senator from
Maine, as tho successor of Ch.se, Peace,

is kindly ivnd affect ionately remembered by
his hosts of personal friends all over the

Tiir Legislature of this Stato convened
at Ilnirisburg on last Tuesday. Both 1
branches, are Republican, and as heretofore '
nre nn lcr the political control of Simon !
Cameron and his corrupt henchmen. It
is theieforo only necessary to state that '
New my or, of Allegheny ronnly, was nom !
inated by the Republican caucus as Presi- i
dont pro ic.;n of the Senate, of which Hon. !
John Latta, Democrat, of Greensburg, who
is the Lieutenant Governor of the State,
is the active presiding officer. Mr. New
mjer will as a consequence be more orna- i
mental than useful in his office of Presi- :
dont pro te:i. The Speaker of tho House
i E. R-ed Mover, of Bradford county, and
of cour.se all the subordinate officers in both
branches are Republicans. What the Leg- I
i!ature thus organized will do, or what it
will neglect to do, remains yet to be seen ;
but it is hoped and demanded by the tax- !
payers of the State that the cession will '
bo very far short of one hundred day. It
is a saying worthy of all commendation
that "the world is governed too mnch."
Let the present Legislature remember this
and also not forget that the fewer laws
that may be passed the better, and that tho
peiplo of tho whole State will endorse
and sustain them in the discharge of all
their duties, if iceU perform?!.
. It is now definitely settled that tho
Hnyes electoral ticket in South Carolina
was carried by a mnjourity of about GOO,
and that Wado . II a ir.pl on and tho entire
Democratic State ticket was elected by a
mnc'i larger ninj rity. We gather this
fiom tho report of the snb-Congiessional
ftnnmitteo, consisting of Messrs. Sayler,
Abbott and Lawrence, the two first named
bitig Dem-erat9 and the last a Republi
can, lifl completed their wot k at Colum
bia, tbe cnpjtal of the State, on Saturday
last. Tlii report must and will be accepted
as conclusive of the vote in that State, and
is accounted for by the well known fct
heretofore stated by us, that while large
muiibor of the colored voters supported
ilia Democratic State ticket in order to get
the control of the tftatc out of the hands of
the carpet bag crew, or' which Gov. Cham

We also admitted time and again that
Hayes had receiver! a majority of the votes
in South Carolina, but always claimed that
Wado Hampton had carried the same Stale
for Governor.
and honest count of the vote, and that the
people of the United States would submit
to in thing less. This is true, but this dec
laration was mane by Grant for a special
such a. wronir without c.illinir for the interposi
tion of eomo pnwpr to avert its etfects; but wc
were told that the judiciary of the State won Id
not Interpose, and that the decisions of the
lteturninif Hoard mtit be accepted like the
laws of theMedesnnd Persians, as nnchatiirc
able. It was conceded on ail sides that the to
tal vote cast was Iciral. and yet the Hoard, to
Grant says he wants a fair brin abort the result it hns announced, had
lo riixfrMnchisp nvpr tn.POJt of these lei?l voters.
Justification for Itiis action of the Hoard is
snusrlit for in nilcx-ations of rlot, tumults and
other acts of violence, producing such measure
of intimidation as had deterred an equal or a
iHritrr number of Republicans Irom attending
the election. Ihenrst ureal lact in me way

At the conclusion or the reading of the

The N. Y. Herald has been examining
the precedents in regard to tho count of
the electoral vote. It appears that as early
as 1773, when Washington was unanimous
ly elected, the IIouso ordered a committee
to join a similar one from tho Senate "to
ascertain and report a method of examining
tho votes for President and Vice Presi
dent," thus plainly asserting the right of
Congress lo scrutinize the vote. The Her
ald concludes from its examination that
"the two House have never surrendered
their right lo examine the electoral vote,
and that the Ptesident of the Senato has
never exercised nor claimed the powor to
determine the validity of a State's vole."
"In no case has the vole of a State been
counted where either bouse has objected."
This coincides with the view wo have pre
viously expressed.

Hardly liad the falling coaches reached the

that hour of indescritoiblo Ojfouy. There were
17- pwsseiig'ert. on the train at the time of the

When the train fell. theslecpiiir-car Palatine,
the hist of tht: train, went down near the east
ern abutment, striking- upon the top ot anoth
er sleeper nni roliinu; over on its (side. Stew
ard, the colored porter of the 1'itJatiuc succ.-ed-ed

passengers could get out. lty tlii.i means lie
rescued nil the passengers in his ear, some
twenty in number, with the e xception or one,
who was sick and unable to help liimselt.
When Steward discovered this mail he called
on the others to stay and help iinn. Only u
woman and one man. apparently ill, stayed to
assist Imn. however, anu Steward, with their
aiu, succeeded in getting- ins mau out, thus res
cuing every man under his chag'. Young
Nusbatim of New York, who was injured in
the bead, is dead. No other deaths are report
ed among llie wounded brought to Cleveland.
WHAT 8UBVIVOK9 SAY.
Thirty of the survivors, many of them wound
ed, were brought to Cleveland. Tncy relate
many interesting details of the catastrophe.
Among the rest is Charles S. Carter, of Brook
lyn, N. Y. He was in the rear drawing--room
car, piayinjr cards Willi two others, Emanuel
Shepherd, of New York, the other u ci ranger.
Suddenly he heard tho glus of the car windows
begin to crackle, nud the car plunged to the
bottom of the ravine. The stranger was killed
instantly. Mr. Shepherd had his leg broken,
Hnd it was amputated this morning. Mr. Car
ter was comparatively unhurt. H.- says that
the f rent, of tlie car was much lowe r than the
rear, and that the llames in the front began to
eat their way upward and spread with great
rapidity. He turned to the assistance ot Mr,
S.iepliTd. and with Src-nt dillieul'y succeeded
in getting him mil, the broken le-g impeding
their advance. Whe-n Shepherd was fairly out.
Carter returned to the assistance of a. woman
who was calling for help at the front of the
car. He got her out, and as she wasquite :hins
ly clad he gave her Ins overcoat. After reach
ing a hotel he found himself severely bruised
in seve-ral places. In the great peril of the
hour a man ruslie-d down to the scene of (tie
disaster ready te help in rescuing. He saw a
woman struggling for lite and went to her ns-sistam-e.
He carried her by main force to solid
le-e, and then, urged by thecriesof the mother,
went back ;o rebcue licr daughter a sweet child
of three or lour years. The treacherous wood
in splintering had caught the child in its grap
and tlit? fire completed the horrible work. The
man was compelled to see the child enveloped
in ti. imes, and to hear her "help tne mother"
ringing out In nn agony of death. In a moment
she was lost, swe pt up by the sharp tongue of
tire while the mother, in helpless agony, fell to
the enrt h in a deadly swoon.
There was on board a family named Bennett,
on their way from New York State to Jefferson,
Ashtabula co jnty. The father an 1 toother got
out of the wreck and the children were only
savd l y being tossed from the arms of one
man to nno her nvt r the pile of burning wood.
One of the four children was seriously injured
and nil wero sliglnly scratched. This morning
:he mother, who w.is euriente, gave birth to n
child, the event being hastened by the excite
ment she hs.d undergone.
It seems thnt the train hn.i Just nbotit covered
the bridg-e when it tell, aa fragmi-nts lie across
the ravine louc-hixg the bust' of the abutments
on either side. When ono stands at the foot of
the r.ivine mid looks up it j-jc.ihhii utter im
possibility that any in;in could taken leap from
so great hetghth and live, yet a number es
caped ceunparativcly unharmed, urn! had it not
be. en for tho fire probably not one-third would
have been lost. Tho waler in the creek is only
about thrco feet deep, land it Is thought by
soinethat when it is dragged a number ot bodies
may be found.
A stock drover is another witness as to the
rapidity witb which the fire did its work. He
says lie was one of the first exit of the wreck,
ami that Ave minutes had not elapsed before
the whole thing was aflame.
A special train, balded with some of tlie in
jured, left .'Ashtabula, at it quarter past eight

One of the Sisters, who was the flirt to
hear the alarm, said that there was a great
deal of excitement all over the building,
and she saw a number jump from the
windows when the stairways were cut ofTby
the lii7Ucs. No one bad time to secure their
clothing, all being forced t escape in their
night dresses. They were out in the snow
in their bare ft?t and many suffered terri
bly. She feared fatal rebults in many cases
from the severe fchocks. Those who were
burned were on the upper floors, and it is
supposed that all escape was cut off at the
time they were aroused. Tlie excitement
in the city over tho terrible calamity has
been intense. A number of places of busi
ness have been closed aud every exertion
is being put forth to aid aud make com
fortable the sufferers.
Tlie bodies of the dead at the Coroner's
office presented a most horrible spectacle.
In many cases the bodies were so badly
charred that they bore but a very slight
resemblance to human beings. Here and
there could be seen bodies minus legs and
arms, while in one instance the head of a
body of a child was completely burned off.
The sulTei'Tigs of those burned must, have
been awful, as most ef the bodies were
found iu a cramped position, as if tbey had
died in agony. Nino bodies have been rc
coveied fiom the ruins so badly burned
that they could not be identified. Four
are still missing. The Coroner's inquest
resulted in a verdict of accidental death.

A Sad Stotit. Joseph V. Harrar, who
shot W illiani R. Hess, in April last, has
just been convicted of murder in the secoud
decree by a Philadelphia jury.
The circumstances of the case convey a
sad history. Some fifteen years ago, Har
rar found Hess, then a boy, homeless and
friendless, banging around a Philadelphia
hose house. He gave him a home iu his
family, fouud him employment, aud treated
bim as he treated bis own children. But
be was warming an adder. The boy grew
to manhood, and in the course of years re
paid the kindness of bis benefactor by se
ducing his wife and alienating the affec
tions of his childien. The evidence of the
guilt of the woman and the ingrate be bad
nursed and cherished was palpable and be
yond dispute. Harrar was driven from
home, a blighted man, disgraced and dis
honored, ilis children turned against bim,
instigated by Hess and their mother. They
passed bim in the street without a sign of
recognition, or if they showed a conscious
ness of bis presence it was by opprobrious
words or a sneer of contempt. Meanwhile,
Hess held the fort and was tbe ostensible
beat! of the family.
Di iven to desperation by the magnitude
of his misery, Harrar walked into bis
wretched home one morning. Hess was
there, finishing his toilet to go on duty as
a policeman. He saw the man whose
household gods be bad shattered, but he
showed no guilt, no embarrassment, no re
morse. The chi'-dreii were at the breakfast
tablo ; the guilty mother was standing a
few feet from her paramour. Hess, turn
ing his head toward Harrar, asked, "What
is that damned loafer doing here ?' Har
tar's reply was a shot fiom his revolver,
and Hess fell, mortally wounded. He lived
a few bouts long enough lo make his will
and leave what property he possessed to the
partner of his guilt. Harrar surrendered
himself to a magistrate and has had his
trial, witb tho result, as above stated.
Legally, he has committed murder, but
tbousnnds or good men and women all over
the lane! will absolve him H-oni crime. It
would be a righteous act to pardon him, for
the law has been vindicated by the verdict
and no wrong can be done to society by al
lowing poor Harrar to live out the remnant
or his unhappy life in undisturbed freedom.

CocNTiJta Tun Ei.kctoualVote. TIow,
as far back as 178D, the electoral vote was
countcel in the presence of the two bouses
of congress iu accordance with the consti
tution is shown by the following: On the
6th of April of that year, twelve senators
being pieseut, John Langd.m, of New
Hampshire, was elected president of that
body "for the sole purpose of opening and
counting the votes for President and Vice
Presidentof the United States." A message
announcing the presence of a quoium and
the election of a president for the purpose
above named, was sent to the house of rep
resentatives. The house then repaired to
the senate chamber, where in the-presence
of the two houses, tho vote for President
and Vice President were examined by Mr.
Patterson, or New Jersey, acting as teller
on the part or the senate, and Mr. Parker,
of Virginia, and Mr. Heister, uf Pennsyl
vania, acting as tellers on tho part of the
house, and the president of the senate de
clared the result to bo that Georsre Wash
ington was unanimously elected "President
and John Adams Vice President of the
United States, This is the only instance in
which this exact course was pursued, but
it shows that it was recognized from tho
first, that the two house must act in the
count, and bv 6uch agents as they should
appoint and it was not recognized that
the Vice President or president of the
senate had any duties in the matter of
counting tho votes.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
in answer to a correspondent, says : The
first record we have of diphtheria was of
its ravages in liome in a. d. 3o0. It was
an epidemic in Holland in 13.T7 ; in Paiis
in 1576 ; in Naples in IT18 ; and more ex
tensivcly in France in 1818 and lS.Ti. It
prevailed as a severe epidemic in England
in tbe years IS08, '59 and '60. The Amer
ican Philosophical Society (voL 1) notices
its first appearance in this country in 1771,
hut it was not generally recognized then or
for many years afterward, being confound
ed with membranous croup, putrid sore
throat and similar diseases. It was noticed
here in the latter part of 1&50, Imt it was
not fully and widely known until the early
part of 1837. J
