GEN. RANCOCR FOR. FREstpENT.
An active movement is going on in Wash
ihgton, among Democratic Congressmen and
other leading men of the party, to place Maj.
Gen. Hancock on the course as our nest
nominee for the Presidency. It is stilted that
his selection is endorsed almost unanimously;
that the friends of Pendleton and Seymour
• are alike willing to combine upon him ; and
that his acknowledged gallan'
ability and manly character
hint a candidate who would .._
our cause, and be almost certain of` success.
We hare some doubts ahont the propriety of
bringing forward a candidate at this pe s riod,
but on looking over' the tiell many months
ago, we became assured that of all the gen
tlemen named in connection with. thenomi
nation, -Gen. Hancock posaes-ed tlie most
_ elements of popularity. Our first choice,
like that of the majority of our party in this
section, would lie (b v. Seymour, hut if he is
not supposed trettst• , -, stanch.
we will not.he flo4llPiltlli , ll of our views as

TIMELY SUGGESTION'S
The results of-the recent elections in the
North, render it certain that the great politi
cal campaign of lfifi!:z will never have been
suipas,ed in carne , ,tneNs and activity since
the memorable contest in which the elder
Adams was condemned to retirement and
Thomas Jefferson placed in the Presidential
chair, Both parties will fight as for their
lives, and when the campaign has become
warm and excited, all attempts to make con
.ver;ts to the Democratic party will he in vain.
It is of immense importance, therefore, that
Democrats, without a nuinwnt's Intermission,
go quietly on with the work they have thine
so Wisely and so well during the paSt year.
Above all, let them see to it now that !Le

Federal Government a single dollar, mgt now
a great many millions. These two items
alone, never till now dreamed of, amount to
not less than twenty millions a year. And
the n the troops found necessary to the keep•
ing of the whites in due subjection to negro
domination will not oust a dollar less than
tiny millions during the year it3liB. And the
horrid Freedmen's Bureau—what is the cost
of that? Certainly not less %^.n sixty mil
lions. These negro items alone amount to
at least it hundred and thirty millions a year
—more than ten limes as much as the whole
epen,,es of the government during the ad
ministration of John Q. Adams. Besides all
this, the negro policy has utterly, broken
down the industry of ten, yes, eleven States
of the Union. The people of those States,
with the richest lands on the face of the globe,
far front being able to bear any part of the
Pecuniary burden of the nation, can scarcely
protect themselve , from starvation. The us
tional loss from this terrible paralyzation is
absolutely beyond all calculation. And yet
the accursed negro policy is, it seems, to* be
persisted iii so long as the Ilatlimls keep their
pnwerl All appeals to them are in vain.' We
are facing national destruction. But, thank
God, the people are aroused and they will
protect themselves.
We - have repeatedly asserted that the
whole object of the Radical plan of recon
struction was to place the white people of
the South under the heels of the negroes.
Our assertions have been borne out by the
Southern elections and Conventions, and by
none more so Man those in Louisiana. In
that Spit' the mongiel Convention to make
a constitution har the future government of
her people assembled in New Orleans a week
ago last Saturday. Seventy-eight members
were present, orwhom forty-four were Afri
cans, a majority of the latter being genuine
plantation negroes, with no infusion of white
blood. Crane, a willite delegate, culled the
c o os ention to order and nominated Gard
ner for temporary President. The latter was
unaniMously elected. Ile is described to he
a tinge African of the blackest type, who, an
taking the chair, he was -mica by de
i r election de Coll Well thin. " \lgen , '
light eoloied African was then chosen Sec
retary. Afterwards, White, in name and col
or, was made Sergeant-at-arms. A motion
to adjourn being made and carried, the Pres
ident announced "dis meeting adjourned till
Monday next.": Such are the rulers in whose
hands the Radicals are willing to place the
destinies of the fairest portion of our Union !

THE AFRICAN ON TOP
TUE . conduct of Gen. gimmick, since he
took command of the Medsiana district, has
been above all praise. He discharges his deli
cate and arduous duties with great prudence
and'justice, and with entire absence of any
feeling of malevolence toward the unfortu
nate people he is 2ent - to rule over. His re
vocation of the tyrannical orders of his hit
mediate predecessor, his regard for the rights .
of the people, and his declaration that the
military is snbardisated to the' civil power,
not of ly mark him a% a soldier anti a patriot ,
but are evidence-that he noderstands the true
theory of our government, and means to pre
serve intact the constitutional guarantees to
the people. It is so seldom that one clothed
with the unlimited power he possesses uses
it so wisely and so'well, that his conduct at
fillets =eater attention. The liberty of the
people will - always be safe in the hands of
such a commander. It will not diminish the
high eatnuation in which the people bold
'Hancock to recall the fact that he was via:
lently opposed to the Military Conuni , , , ion
which tried the murderer 4 of Lincoln, and
doubted both the legality of that tribunal and
the gmlt of Mrs. Surratt. AS commanding
officer of that department, it devolved on him
to carry out the sentence on thn conspirators,
and only the urgent entreaties of his friends
prevented his resigning his position, rather
than carry it into execution. He endeavored
to have the judgment modified in the case of
Mrs. Surratt, but it is belleied his communi
cations were delayed in the - War Office and
never reached the President.

Fittim all that we can gather from oui-
Southern. exchanges, the most deplorable
state of destitution and prospective bankrupt
cy stares the people of that section- In the

to meet their liabilities. The Smallest amounts
cannot be collected from 'turd& who have
born ;Ireu,t,Mletl ics th't' luxuries of life,and we
predict more suffering and distress the ensu
ing winter and si;Fing, amens the poorer
classes, than was ever before witnessed in that
section. As to the colored race the prospect
is still more gloomy. Thousands will be
thrown out of employment, while other
thousands Fill not work if they can get work
to do. They prefer to live sonic other way.

IN TuE ten reconstructed States the aggre
gate white population is one-third more than
the black. The voters should bear about the
same proportion; but - 525,000 whites and
617,000 blacks are registered. If the propor
tion were according to population, there
should be 1323,000 whites to 017,000 blacks.
Here is a hiss in some way of nearly 300,000.
white voters. How many of these are dis
franchised by law, and how many have neg
lected to register, it is impossible to tell. Ac
cording to the registration lists, the whites
have *lnajorities in !Arkansas, - Georgia, North
Carolina and Virginia. According to the
census tables, they. rhould have
_majorities
also in .1 lanama. :Florida. Louisiana and
Texas, leaving only two States, South Caroli
na and Mississippi, where the blacks s have
clear majorities. 1 -.,
FOR five or six y . e;irs past, the mails of the
country have been loaded with Republican
documents franked by .qemped signatures or

National Committee in sending documents to
different sections of the Union, and if the
postage on these documents had been paid,
the Post (Mice Department would have real

TILE GREAT IiAILitGAD DISASTER.
The Latest, rtillest and Masi; Reliable
Account Published.
The hour at which we went to presS last
week did not enable us to give complete par
ticulars of the shocking catastrophe upon
the Lake Shore road,at 4 o'clock,on Wednes
day of last week, and as the public anxiety
to obtain the correct details seems to be un-:
appeased, we furnislebelow all the reliable
information on the subject that it has been
possible to obtaiii. We believe this 'report
will be found the fullest and -most authentic
that has' been published—certainly more so
than that given by any other paper in the
city. -
The train to which the accident occurred
was the 'New York Express, consisting of two '
first-class coaches and one seeond-clas
coach, going East. The catastrophe occurred
at the crossing of what is known as the Big
Sister Creek, taxon - a quarter of a mile East
of Angola station and 21 miles this side of
Buffalo. The creek is a shallow stream, at
the ordinary level, bordered on . one side by
a low fiat 30 or 40 rods wide, while its other
bank rises with Considerable abruptness to
the level of the surrounding country. The
truck of the railroad i. carried over most of
the flarupon an embankment of earth, from
the termination of which a trues bridge about
100 feet in length spans tile creek. The
height of the bridge above the ordinary-level
of the creek is some 50 feet.
Investigations into the cause of the nevi
dent lead to the belief thrd it was occasioned
by one of those uncontrollable mishaps that
no human agency could prevent. The ears
were going'at a pretty rapid rate at the time
—being some three hours behind setup"
time, but not tit is claimed by the iltilroai
men) nt a faster speed than was usual on such
occasions. On passing the -"frog," a little
beyond Angola—about fourteen feet front the
i..!frOg"—was, uncovered the first sign of a
N o tieing off the track. About mid Way be- I
tweet this and the bridge, one of the rails
was found forced a little out of its position I
by the pressure of the ear. Not until the
bridge was reached was the mark of the
broken wheel discerned, and here it could
be readily traced wherever it struck the ties.
This wheel was ultimately found and proved
to be the second fore wheel of the rear ear,
on the South side of the road. It Laid a seg
ment of the treathabout a foot and a half in
length and one inch and tr half in depth
broken out. It is supposed as this broken
portion of the tread came down upon the
rail, the pressure of the flange - forced the car
off on the North side of the road. This oc
curred about fbrty rods 'West of the bridge.
AS the ear came on the bridge some one in
side pulled the check rope- when the engi;
neer whistled down the brakes and balking
hack, saw the ear in its descent. As the: car
passed over the shelving covering the tim
ber work, on the north side of the bridge,
the timbers were broken and shattered.
When nearing the east end of the bridge, at .
the deepest point of the creek, the rear car
went over the precipice, and, in uncoupling'
from the car in front of it,' gave the latter a
sudden jerk or spring - that caused it to bound
off the track, and fell over the embankment
on the opposite side of the road.
The rear ear, as seen by it looker-ompitched
end , foremost, a depth of about fifty feet
clown the steep hill side, in its - descent
throwing most of its passengers in, one com.
pressed heap, striking their heads againSt the
roof, sides, seats and tioorond breaking their
limbs. It is thought that the majority were
instantly killed, and never knew whet hap
pened. A few of the beams falling cross
ways,. prevented others from falling to the
extreme cud.' It was these latter whose
shrieks tier aid were heard for till five min
.utes, while the tire communicated by the
overturned stove, was consuming their vitahi.
A momeni, as one of the survivors describes
it, and the whole was wrapped in flames.
The dry wood of the car burned like a heap
or kindling., and it was little more. How
many the flames devonred in this ear cannot
be told with certainty. ' It was well 'filled
with passengers, itrobiibly not less than 47
I or 48, and only three are known to have es
(wed.
it WV, , 41)111a moments before any one
could reach the scene to attempt ktssistance.
The' train, which hail run '.one distance be
titre being-stopped, was barked as speedily
as possible, and those on board set to work .
with - promptitude and energy. But the
steep and he covered slope to the ear Waa
not easily ;descended, and when help came,
1116 . - were without weapons for lighting the
flames or for breaking into the wreck: Mr.
Betts, of Tonawanda, at List succeeded in
reaching the ear and seizing one of the pas
sengeri by the arms, einumenced to pull Lim
out. A chain of looked hands was soon
formed with those on the bank; and the in
jured Man was drawn forth. While so en
gaged Mr. Bidts had ;t look intO the inside of
the ear. At the firther end lie could see
nothing but " a blackened heap of bodies,
whirl were being horned. Above those
Mere some who were yet alive, among Whom
he reeogniied a:unlit-limn he hail been in
troduced to.at dinner at Brut•htotl, a nd u Ito
implored most piteottily, with miststretcheil
arms, to die saved. A. soon, of course; as
they could lie ?uninitiated, the people of An
'
gala and nearer inhabitants ran to the spot,
-and it, was not long before many tickets
were employed in pouring water upon - the
horning wreck ; hut a raging lire is not to be
overcome with barket•-, and those desperate
ly laboring of the work-had to suffer the un
speakable angui-1 of seeing theirelforts made
utterly in vain. 'lle hideous, renlOrWit'Ss
Iluuu cracked on ; the shrieks died into
moans, and moans into silence more terrible,
as the pall, of death drew over the scene.
Er eept one little fragment or thy side of the
.o'll, nothing but a heap of smoking cinders
AMY lett for those gathered round to search
into with sickened hearts. One of the three
itersons who trieaped from the rear ear was
Mr. 1. Mayer, the travelling agent of liistori,
who is note :it the Buffatlo General Hospital
tinder treattneat for severe, but probably not .
-serious, Wales in the back. head, and an
kles. Mr.' Mailer's statement is as :
"I had just stepped not of the eliKet when
I felt the jerking of the car as it was thrown
from the track. I sprang up instantly and
caught hold of something in the roof of the
ear, supporting myself: This saved me,,
when the ear went over the hank, from
be
ing pitched forwent with the rest of the rats-'
stingers into the heap • where every one was
helplessly buried in the crash :of the ruins.
Exactly , how I crawled out I do not know.
i was one of only three who escaped. I saw .
au old gentleman and his wife get out of that*
wreck. I ant sure that not another person
escaped. The car was full—not less" than
tifty persons, I shout(' think,within ieThose
who were not killed Outright were burned h)
death. The wreck was all in dames in a
moment. I do not know how I and.the two
I have mentioned could have escaped."
When the rear car was burning, one . of the
passengers related that several persons who
were endeavoring to brink it in pieces were
startled by the report of pistols discharged
within, and one shot which tame through a
window paged through the pahts of.a afire
tutor. Some unfortunate' man had the weap
on in his poeketand it was pmhablyexplod
ed hp the heat, or it may be that he volunta
rily put un said . to his existence, preferring .
suicide to death in the flames. A yotmg man
named Zechariah ilubbanl, at Canada West,
a carpenter by trade, who had been working
at Westfield, was rescued in a horrible con
dition. His hotly was burned trom his waist
downward, the feet completely oft and - he
lived but four hours. One man is reported
to have thrust hats head out of the ear and
cried out that he was unhurt, but the flames
reached hitu soon alter, and he perished be
fore the eyes of the spectators.
• The crush in the second car was' only less.
awful that that already described. It was not
%Unwed, kontver, by the limn WA' cal
amity of the fire. Twice the car was kin.
. •
died by the coals from the broken stoves, but
the passengers were in a less helplegs
condl
tion, and the flames were extinguished. We
have tried to ascertain the exact number of
casualties in this car, but none of the
furnish us the information desired. None
seem to have been killed. Mr. J. W. Ken
nedy, one of the
_occupants, as soon as the
thumping commenced, mated for the door
and jumped from the platform just as the
coach rolled down the' bank. A lady was
taken from beneath the car and totrnd to be
wholly uninjured, then- itappening — to be a
slight Mile where she lay, but how she came
there was a mystery to herself and the look
ers-on. Mr. Frank Sherman, the conductor
of the train, was in the rear car when he felt
the jolt from the truck springing from the
track. The train was then within a few
rods of the bridge. He immediately pulled
the bell-rope and started for the front of the
train. The shock tame just as •he entered
the second car ; the uncoupling of the rear
coach, when it was precipitated from the
bridge, throwing the car from the track and
hurling it down the embankment. All this
passed in a , moment, and Mr;Sherman's re
collection of:the affair is, of conrso;not ac
curate. Lie was severely wounded but not
dangerously. the passengers on the
train whom we have, seen, bear testimony to
his Coolness and braverw
As soon as notice - of the accident was •
tosthe headquarters . of the company at Buffa
lo, immediate measures 'were taken for the
relief of the sufferers. .. 'train containing
physicians and remedies was dispalidied at
once, and' arrived •nt the scene of tn.-aster
about five o'clock. It wits nearly dm k, and
objects at a short distance were anything
but distinct. The burned ears were a mass
of ruins, hut the odor of burning humawfiesh
pennented the atmosphere and gavieonvine
ing evidence that tile . catastrophe Was a
heart-rending and awful' one. The second
car was lying a perfect wreck, - but all its in
mates had been removed, and everything
that medical skill and kindness conld suggeSt
'was being done for them.
The houses at Angola to which the wound
ed were removed, presented the appearance
of army hospitals. Every room in several of
the nearest residences, was filled with objects
of pity, in the shape of injured passengers ;
In one corner could be seen a woman, insen
sible, her face bruised, and discolored with
blood ; and in :mother a man who had, a few
hours previously, started from home in the
tltll enjoyment of health, but now was hov
ering between life and death. Everywhere
could be seen those angels of mercy—kind
and true-hearted woman—administering to
those thrown upon their bands, end we, are
sure from what we saw that the injured ones
were kindly and tenderly eared for..
Ite.pOrts which needed no exaggeration; in
fact, were susceptible of none which would
exceed the terrible reality, were sent to Hu dit
to, and in households whose members or
friends were supposed to he on the train, the
wilde-t alarm prevailed. The telegraph of.
flees were heseiged by. people frantic with
terror, and the wires were loaded throughmit
the evening with-the messages of suffering
and death. A.s the 'evening - wore 'on, thC of
fices-of the company- werethronged and the
depot became so crowded that it' was fimnd
necessary to station a squad of policemen in
readiness 'to prevent ispy- disorder on the ar
rival of the trains front the wreck. The dead
bodies were, placed in coffins and taken to
that city on Wednesday, bud deposited in
the:building fOrmerly used us the Soldiers
Home, opposite ibtthe Central Depot; m Ex
change street. „ill the wounded that could
be Sa fdy moved were taken at alater hour,
by a special train, and properly cared for by
the officers of the Lake Shore Bond. - The
thior of the' Soldier's Home, ex - temporized
into a .114gue, was besieged all day by a
crowd of persons, who could not obtain ad
mission, but hang around the elfurnelliouse
like vultures hovering over. carrion.. Had
the piace been thrown open, there can be
no doubt that the multitude would have
surged, in by thous:m(lm, gloated over the
ghastly scene, handled the .4tred dead with
profane fingers and jostled them from their
peaceful rest. Such scenes Were wisely pre
vented by stationing a guard at the door
who admitted none lad those who had busi
ness inside. ,
There. were ullogtflier fi)riy-ftnir dead
bodies rtsnovered from the wreck, twenty-tive
of which have been recoguhed, and nineteen
are in such a charred mass that it has been
impossible to identify them, some of which
required a surgical examination to discover
the sex. The remains of th . o..e who w e r e s o
badly dunned that it was thought impossible
to distinguish them, were packed in several
large bete , . which stood during Wednesday
and Thursday in the dead-house at Ilutialo.
Friends of persons on the ill-fated train,
were unwilling to . content themselves with
assuratme4 none if these could be iden
tified, and towards Wednesday evening it
was decided to open
their horrible contents to invemtigation. The
wisdoMof this eteci.ioil was seen in the re
menition of tierce hodios from the mass,
these or Stephen Steu art, of Oil Creek ; W.
W. Tots tier, and .I. Alex. Martin, of Erie.

Ationigthe ptmiengers burned were Mr.
and Mrs. (;. I). kent,.4 Tonawanda, who
hind just started ,on their wedding tour.
Chas. Lobdell,assistant editor of the LaCrosse.
Democrat, was also among the number.
Bunches of keys, and several watches and
rings were found in the ma.4s. of eharred
bodies, which served to identity a portion
of the victim.. Three of the passengets held

cognized in the clams of charred renmins at
Buffalo by a tooth on the left side lapping
over to the right. The upper I)art of Mr.
Martin's lardy was not much distignred and
a portion of his clothing was left, so that his
friends easily identified him.. The remains
of the two latter were sent' to their former
places of residence, and those of Mr. Towner
brought td this city. His funeral took place
on Saturday forenoon from ilaber's resi
lience and was largely attended. In norm).
ance of the Mayor's proclamation a number
of business places were closed, as a :Silent to•
ken of the general gloom created by the
horrid manner of his death. •
A rounher of the wounded taken out of
the wreck died toxin after, and others still
linger between life and eternity. The fol
lowing is a lis'of the victims (rota this sec

An immense crowd filled the large Central
Depot in ButTalo„on Saturday afternoon, to
witness', the funeral ceremonies of the un
claitued remaias. A large platform, 190 feet
in length, 20 feet deep, draped in metalling,
was erected on the south side of the depot.
Nineteen boxes, containing the charred
bodies of the unfortunate strangers, were
- placed on either side of a desk erected for
the use of the clergY.- . The stami- at 2:o'clock
was occupied by the city' clergy, the' . giyor
`and City Councit . the 'Mimed cede* and
the choirs from the different churches. Pall
8,00 0 spectators stood in front and around
the platform. The greatest solemnity pre
vailed, and - sadness was depicted ori each
- countenance. The services were conducted
in the most impreksive manner. The pro
cession was flanked by police, and proceeded
to St.' Paul's Cathedral ; where the- bodies
were deposited in a vault, the 11ev. Dr. Shel
ton, Rector, reading the beautiful and
.sol
emn funeral service of the-Episcopal Church.
The - strcets were lined with people as the
procession moved slowly along, and had the
weather been more favitrable the crowd
would have been still greater.
