Tire strccEssioN to the Presidency, in
case the office be vacated prier to the expi
ration of the Constitutional term, is regula

of its provisions are Of - doubtful meaning, it
has been proposed at Washington so to

TUE press or the North and South are
running wild on the subject of the - Ku-Klux-
Klan. That such an organization of rebels
exists we have ample assurance, but its
strength and power.is greatly exaggerate&
It is nothing more nor less than a new edi
tion of the Knights of the Golden Circle,
which all will remember as a weak and
powerless body of desperadoes, who faded
away like snow before an April sun, when
the hand of law was laid upon them. In
alarming good citizens and freedmen of the
South, the K. K. - B's. will succeed, but as a
political auxiliary to the Democratic party
they will be of no consequence, but rather
prove a damage.
THE ERIE RAILWAY SLAUGHTER..
We print some additional andinteresting
particulars of this shocldng and whole
) sale murder. We also give place to the
statements of the officers of the cOmpany as
to the condition of the road, and we add to
it the wickedly heartless pretext upon
which they seek some palliation of the uni
versal execration. The track is shown to
have been for months in a condition so hn
perfect as to endanger the safety of all trains
• speeded up to the ordinary passenger time.
The rails were generally worn out, being so
weakened that in the one single month of
January last, fully one thousand of them
were taken up broken. The. officers insist
that they were engaged in measures for the
repair of their road so, as to render it once
more safe for the public use, when the con
troversy for the control of the company's
affairs, was initiated by i outside parties,
and that the litter, by the ;legal proceedings
which, at -their instance, suspended the
financial solvency of the Company, are
alone responsible for the horrors of this
event. But no such infarnous plea Carl in
duce the public to forget !that the officers
who -make it, deliberately, in< the face of
positive assurances from their own subordi
nates that the road waebut - a murder-trap;
did, a few weeks since, reduce their fares
for the express purpose'of tempting to their
road an increased travel. Promising to an
unwary public low fares and regular con
nections, for which fr high speed was in
evitable, and solely for the purpose of dam
aging rival and safer routes and of securing
a daily revenue to their impoverished trees
ury, they gave to their infernal machine
an accelerated motion, and the slaughter at.
Carr's Rock tells the rest of the story
, IMPEACHMENT."
The Senate 'continues to indulge. Mr.
Joamson's counsel in a very wide latitude
of testimony, its intrinsic weight having
apparently very little to do with its compe
tency. For example, they open wide the
door for the introduction of proof shoWing
that he consulted counsel in relation to legal
proceedings against Mr. EkkiliTON.
wide as that door stands open. the defence
are marshalling through it no Witnesses to
the consummation of the ,President's judi
dons and praiseworthy intentions in that
rega-d. Many people swear thathe talked
much about sling informations and apply
ing for writs of quo toarranto, but; nobody
yet turns up to testify that the much baking
bore even the most meagre' and shrivelled of
fruit. The Managers certainly need not com
plain of that sort of a defence. It' hi'
only the • patience of. - an impartial
Senate, of a people beginning to weary of
waiting for justice:to be done upon this
disturber of the national - peace, which suf
jers by the unexpected delay. Witnesses
for the defence also establish:the fact that
the speeches "around the circle" were
-correctly reported. ° These 'are to be fol
lowed, it is said, by the members of the Cab
inet and by Generally:3E4am ‘;
It is believed
that the evidence for the defencewill all be
in by Tuesday and - that, unless the Mani
gers have rebutting testimony to present, of
which there is but a sinau pgbability, tile
arguments will be commenced by the, mid
dle of the next week. The Senate, recogni-*
,zing the importance of bringing the pro
ceedings to the earliest posilble close, meets
hereafter at an earlier hour, so that each
day will see more accomplished.

MR. THOMAIS WILLIAMS.
The third teim of service of Mr. TizomAs'
, WiLLia.ms in the House "'of Representatives
at Washington is drawing to a close. Car
ryling to the duties of the position a mind
uncommonly gifted Vy nature,' trained by the
severest and most accurate culture, and for
tified.by long and varied experience before
popular assemblies, at the bar, and in both
branches of, the Legislature of the Common
.wealth, he rose rapidly into conspicuity and
influence, continuing honorably the long
line of, illustzious men which Allegheny
county bas furnishedlo the national c(i.un
dls. Assigned to the Judiciary Committee,
his labors hi that sphere, and particularly as
connected with the investigation into the
conduct of the President, and in preparing
the Report of the Majority in favor . of
peachment, presented at the opening of the
present session, so demonstrated his peculiar
and commanding abilities and usefulness
that, when Impeachment was finally- re
solved upon, he was chosen one of the
Managers of that grand and historic trans
action—a signal distinction, and most fairly
earned.
We are not informed as to Mr. Wn.umis
,
intention respect to being a:candidate for
re-election. We have, indeed, heard of
higher honors-designed• for him.: by deioted
friends; but whether their.powers, of , ful
fillinent are equal to their good Wishes is
one of the problems that cannot be solved
in advance, but must be left for events to
disclose. Meantime, the period formak t ing
nominations is approaching, and it will
soon be needflil either to re-nominate this
gentleman or. select - another as his
successor. In default of a declination from
Mr. War.Lums it is fair to infer that he
will accept a re-nomination if it shall be
tendered to him. At least, if he shall not
decline in view of this intimation, it may
be taken for granted that he is not averse to
furthenservice in the House, if such is the
pleasure of the Republicans of the district.
It has become customary in many north
ern districts to limit the period of Congress
ional service, for individuals, to two or three
terms. This custom has mainly, grown out
of competition between aspirants, though
the "claims of locality" have induced a con
siderable tendency in the same direction.
"It is a custom more honored in the breach,
than in the observance." Statesmanship is
not avocation from which a man ‘shouid be
laid aside as soon as he has mastered its in
tricacies. Even in an ordinary mechanical
trade, it would be thought absurd to dispense
with journeymen, and trust to apprentices
altogether. Much more is it absurd and per
nicious to change representatives in Con
gress; when a valuable one is in the seat,
simply because another person would like to
All it, or because the:claims of locality in the
disiiibution of honors are construed to re-
Taira the change. The high places of
government ought to be given to the
men Who are capable of filling them with
the largest shire of wisdom, courage and
discretion.
These general considerations derive addl
.
tional force,;as applicable to the case in.
hand, from:the fact that the next Congres
sional election may be the last that - will be held
under the existing apportionment. It is
quite possible that the district, two years
lience, , will not- be composed of the same
counties and part of a county that now con
stitute it. . A new man, taking Mr.
Luits' place, might find himself thrown
into strut& ,territorial connections towards
the end of hiibtirst term of service.
It is prep:nimble that the Allegheny por
tion' of the 'present district greatly prefer
to continue Mr. WiLmeats to the end of the
apportionment. But to this end, it is re
quisite to ,obtain the concurrence of either
Butler or Armstrong counties.
- But our design in bringing up this matter,
now and In this form, is not so much., to
forestnll, action, here or elsewhere, as to
suggest the , necessity for a definite under
standing in the premises. If Mr. WnasAms
desires a reelection that fact should be
known, and if concurrence shall be dis-
,closed in one or both of the other counties,
his nomination Would follow as a matter of
course. If he prefers to retire, unquestion
ably the candidate will not be claimed by
Allegheny, but - will be conceded either to
Butler or Armstrong. -

The :American 'Churchman, commenced
its seventh yb,ar, April flth, in a new dress,
and enlarged. It presents quite a creditable
appearance. The paper is well edited and
is of the progressivii school.
Fears are entertained. that the. Board of
Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian
Church will end the year of its work,
which closes on the Ist of May; with a
large debt encumbering it.
,This arises
from the high price of exchange and , its en
larged operations. This vigorous body of
'Christians should see that this noble cause
is sustained.
The dropping of the "Dutch" seems to
have started new life into the Reformed
Church. We notice the record of more re
vival intelligence, in that ably , conducted
jottrnal, the Christian Intelligeneer, than
usual. The revival at Ellenville, New
York, assumed broad proportions, seventy.
five having professedconversion; also, about
fifty in the Church at Napanoch, in that
neighborhood.
The New - England 31. E. Conference, at
its late session at Boston, denounced the
proscription of the 31. E. Church, by the
Government in the selection of chaplains
to the army and navy. A Convention of
'Methodists was recommended to be held at
Chicago, in May next, to adopt a memorial
to Congress, asking that their ministers may
be represented in the above departments, in
the proportion of the numerical strength of
the denomination
We learn from the United Presbyterian
that the new church edifice of the First
United Presbyterian Church, Allegheny
city, Pa , Rev. J. P. Pressly. D.D., pastor,
will be pushed forward to completion as
rapidly as possible. The site is on Union
Avenue, (East Commons) one of the hand
somest in the eity. The structure is to be of
the most modern style. - s
Rev. F. E. Abbott, a Unitarian minister,
late of Dover, N. H., has renounced the
ministry and Christianity, and proclaimed
himself a Theist.
Inconsequence of the divisions in the
Presbyterian Church at Paris, Kentucky,
the members have agreed upon a separation
and division of the property. The radicals
are to get the old church, the school house
and fifteen hundred dollars in cash. The
conservatives are awarded the parsonage
and the new church edifice. ,
There are now thirteen Methodist Epis
copal churches in. Boston, worth nearly one
million of dollars. Considerable missionary
labor in the Sabbath school is done by these
churChes outside of the regular church or-,
_
ganizations. . •
The Tribune represents that owing to the
bitter feud existing between Rev. Dr. Scott,
rector of the Church of the Redemption,
and its senior Warden, considerable exeite
ment prevails in the congregation. The
presence of the police, however, prevented
any unpleasant circumstances from trans
piring. The Scott party threaten to seek
redress in the Selpreme Court.

The Synod of . Missouri has appo* a
Committee to attend the next meeting of

before the Assembly the position which that

The Presbyterian thinks that some of the
papers of the Presbyterian Church have
expressed unnecessary alarm in, Supposing
that.the Basis of Union agreed upon by the
Re-union Committees will be rushed through

Union is again to be , submitted to the

lE;RAILROAD
We append all the additional - particulars
at hand of 'this shocking calamity, and its
probable cause. Mr. M: A. 131akeslie, a
resident of Olean, N. Y., who;was a passen
ger in one of the cars which went over the
embankment, says:
"I was - awakened by the sudden stopping
of the cars. There was a wrench as if the
coupling was breaking.. ,All was quiet in
the car yet. I sprang from my berth to the
floor; j,ust.then the car was dragged by the
others over the 'embankment. I then•threiv•
myself full length upian - the floor and held
fast as the 'car went over and over. The
outer roof was torn off, and the sides fell
outward. I - was about to rise When .the
ner roof of the car came, crashing down,
and was held by a broken framework within
three inches of my head. Crawling out
over dead and wounded, I managed to ex
tricate myself from the wreck. The ladies'
car was on fire, and on every side of me
sufferers were shrieking" and groaning in
agony. The mean came up when the fire
of the car went out, Lind thepasengers then
began to extricate the dead and wounded. I
helped to cleat -away the rubbish of the
wreck." Mr. Blakeshe declares "that it was
the most perfect wreck that ciauld be imag
igned, nothing but a mass of chips and
splinters remaining of the three sleeping
and one ladies car. •.1 counted five dead
bodies' in the car that I was in. There were
five or six killed, and afterward burned in
the ladies' car, and I saw five more dead
bodies upon the railroad track I should
judge there were at least fifty badly wound=
ed. I: as told by a friend of mine, a Mr.
Porter,
that the train was running at the
rate of forty or fifty miles an hour. I was
told at Salamanca, when I emhsrked, that
the train was then thirty minutes behind
time, in consequence of having been de
layed some time near Corry, Pa.,in picking
up
the body of a man who had een killed
by the train passing over him."
Another passengei says he knows not
how to account for the catastrophe; but
narrates the following colloquy which oc
curred in his hearing between one of the
brakesmen belonging to the injured tram
and a friend : • This latter, addressing the
train-hand remarked, "Jim, you had better
leave railroading; its getting to be dafiger
ous." "No, I won't," replied the brakes
man, "but I will know better than to go on
a train again when so many railroad dele
gates are on board. This affair occurred
because our folks were putting on airs; they
wanted to show off, so they crowded on all
steam in order to make fast time, and now
you see the consequence." This colloquy
may throw some light on the cause ,of the
accidEat.
The New York Post of Thursday evening
says : A number of those who were slight
ly injured arrived in this city last evening.
Among the number were A. S. Gillett, Mer
cer county, Pa.; Mrs. 0. S. Gillett, and her
sister, Miss Stewart; Mrs. Gillejt's little boy,
two years and a half old. Mr. Gillett's fern;
ily and Miss Stewart were taken to
the residence of a friend. The bodies of the
dead were placed In charge of properofficers
yesterday, and an inquest will be held. The
statements in relation to the cause of the
actident are very conflicting. Some attri
bute the disaster to a broken rail, and others
to a - broken wheel. • •
A Inter edition of the same journal says:
There has been no further intelligence re
ceived at the Erie Railway office in this
city this morning from Port Jervis in rela
tion to the 'condition of the killed and
wounded, further than contained In - private
messages to the friends of the Injured. It
is understood, however, that those still at
Port Jervis are doing well. The number
of persons killed is now said to be twenty
four, but the complete list of names has not
yet been received.
The report In a morning journal that the
wreck was burned last night after the
killed and wounded had been removed,
lacks confirmation.
Those that were shghly wounded have
arrived in this city and departed for their
homes. They all unite in representing the
scene after the' cars had reached the bottom
of the embankment as one that defied des
cription. The shriekingof the wounded and
moaning of the
dying in the broken mass,
the darkness only relieved by the light of
the burning car, contributing to the scene
of horror the like of which they have never
before witnessed.
The New York Tribune says:
"The Erie Directors charge that in conse
quence of the grantingof an injunction pre
venting them from issuing $10,000,000
worth of londs, the. Vanderbilt party are
indirectly the cause of the deplorable acci
dent which occurred on the Erie Railroad."
Six weeks ago, an official report upon the
condition of the Erie Railway was made by
the Superintendent to the. Board of Direct
ors, in which he said
"The iron rails have broken laminated
and worn out beyond all preCedent,
there is scarce a inile of your road, except
that laid with steel rails, between Jersey
City and Salamanca or Buffalov, where it is
safe to run a train at the ordinary
,passepger
,train speed, and many portions of the road
can only be traversed safely by reducing
the speed of all trains to twelve or fifteen
miles an hour, solely , on account -of the
worn-out' andsotten condition of the rails.'
Itrokemwheela, axles, engines and trains off
the track - have been of daily, almost hourly.,
occurrence for the last two months, caused
mostly by defective rails. Fully one thou'.
sand brikken rails were taken front thiktrack
in the month.cif January ) while the number
removed on account of lamination, crushing
or wearing out, was much
,greater. Feb
ruary will show a worse record than. Jan
41:Yrlie condition of the Iron at the present
'date is such as to give me much anxiety and
apprehension for the'safety of trains. We
cannot and do not attempt to make the smiled:
tile time with our trains; nearlyalllose from
two to five hours in.passing over the -road,
and it has been only, by the exercise of ex.,
Aram caution we have bri; able thus far to`
escape serious accident" • ' - • .
It was found from the report of the Treas.,
arreithat the Company was in debt , sl,loo-

weather. That, immediately after the grant
lug of the injunction, the firm <with whom
they-contracted refusedlo furnish the rails
unless the amount should be deposited with
Baring & Brothers. _ In consequence of the
injunction, the Treasurer refused to disburse
any of the funds of the Company.until the
*emit difficulties could be adjusted. The
Directors say that for the past three months
the speed of the express trains has been re
duced to the accommodation train schedule,
and that until the track is relaid with steel
rails in insecure places, it will be deemed
unsafe to run at a higher rate of speed.'
A-Port Jar vis correspondent of the N. Y.
Advertiser, says:
The scenes in the Delaware House are
truly horrible; from every room groans and
lamentations proceed, and nurses are seen
hurrying to and fro, doingsill in their power
to alleviate the suffering. At the depot the
sight that everywhere meets the eye is
heart-rending. Hundreds of anxious peo
ple are Crowding round it, to learn some tid
ings or friends supposed to have been on
board, and the cries and tears of those who
recognize, in the room full of mutilated
corpses, some 'dear relative, would move a
heart of atone. _ But with all this there is
mach disgusting curiosity displayed by
many. Men, womett, and children are peep
iag in at every crack to gratify a morbid
appetite for the horrible. '
. The : • Coroner's jury have rendered the
following verdict :
`.`From the evidence before us we have
arrived at the conclusion that the deceased,
Tobias Elrich, came to his death from the
track at Carr's Rock, Pennsylvania ? the ac
cident being ceased by a broken rail. The
occurienee, in our op i nion, e might have been
avoided had the train, run at less speed,
Owing to the unsafe condition of the road."
A Port Jervis dispatch states that rob
berieS were'committed upon the dead and
wounded after the disaster, by passengers
who were saved by being in the forward
cars. Money in large sums, arid gold
watches, were even taken from the pockets
of the dead, and rings torn from the fingers
of the women. In one instance a file was
used to release a diamond ring from >the
finger,of a lady who was at the time consci
ous enough only to be able afterwards to tell
the story. People who weie'at the scene,
say they could not protect the sufferers from--
this sacrilege. •
The following are the names of additional
killed and wounded::

his son, J. D. Hurd, both of Urbana, Ohio.
