A TF.IIIIIIILE railroad accident occurred
upon the Erie Railway, on Tuesday night,
about 14 tulles east of Port,Jarvis, at a point
where the road runs along the bank of the
Delaware river, some 7 or 100 feet above its
bed. While going at a rapid speed, the ibur
, rear cars were thrown from the track and
,precipitated down the steep embankment,
each turning over several times and being
broken to pieces before they reached the
bottom. A couple of the-cars took fire, and
the - accident was almost a repetition. of the
terrible Angola disaster. Some twenty per
sons lost their lives, and from fifty to sixty
were wounded, a large portion so severely
that they cannot live.
A GOOD DELIVERANCE.
The State Legislature brought its labors
to a close on Tuesday at noon, after a session
of over three months, in which little else has
been done except to promote the private in
terests of the members and their friends,
tighten the grasp of the great corporations
more firmly around the necks of • the people,
make the laws more onerous and difficult of
comprehension, and endeavor to advance the
aims of the Radical party. Let the masses
cr , v hosannah, and return thanks, as they
would for the abatement of any other great
calamity. A more consciousless, unblush
ing and rotten set of Men than the Radical
majoritK have proved thernselres never as
sembled in any Lgislative: capacity, alartits
excepting the deformity : , at Washington,
• which calls itself a Congress of the Amerietin
people I. We do unit wish to be;nuderaintal
as applying our censure to all .the members,
Gtr there were some 'lieu of more:than aver
'age merit, but their influence has Leen so
dwarfed and overshadowed that, unfortu
nately for their reputations and the cause of
justice, the masses have been unable to dig-7
criminate. The mean and petty act of
tyranny which resulted in the ejection of
Senator Shugart, in, the teeth of the record
and the evidence, and with the sole purpose
of retaining a Radical majority for one year
longer, is sufficient of itself to damn to eter
nal infamy every man who had a hand in its
concoction and consummation. We see by
the proceedings that just before vacating their
places, the members of the Rouse constituted
themselves into a Mutual A.diniration Society,
and made presents and complimentary
speeches on all .sides: It is well that they
can find something to admire in one an
other, for we assure them there is mighty
little admiration outside of their own circle.
The press of both parties, almost without ex
ception, is stinging in its reprobation of their
course, and the sentiment is growing stronger
every day that the fewer sessions of the Leg
islature we have the better it will be for the
State and people.
SERGEANT BATES AND TUE FLAG.
Our readers will remember that a month
or more ago, Sergeant Bates, of Wisconsin,
started upon a tour across the South, in ful
fillment of a bet that he could carry the
United States flag from Vicksburg to Rich
mond, without danger of personal violence
or insult. The wager was the result of a po
litical dispute—the Sergeant, who served
three years in the war, claiming that Union
men are as safe in the South as in the North,
and his opponents alleging that the white
people of that section remain irrevocably
.hostile to the Government, and will not tole
rate: Union men except under fear of the
military. One condition of the bet was that
the Sergeant should travel without weapons
or money, depending,..solely upon the hospi
tality of the people along his route.
On Thursday forenoon Sergeant Bates ar-
rived at Washington city, having successful
. ly accomplished the trip,and ben everywhere
received with the utmost kintlmss during his
long journey across thi Sonthrn States. lie
represents his treatment as having been of
the most cordial nature, all classes and 'sexes
vieing with each other to do honor to the
man who had given such a marked exhibi
tion of his confidence in their "loyalty" and
integrity. In many cities_ and towns he had
• been welcomed with public demonstrations,
and in every locality the most prominent
citizens were proud to tender him emir hos,
pitality. The Sergeant was - greeted by an
immense crowd a s he approached Washing
ton, and escorted by them to his hotel,where
speeches were made by several Congressmen.
It was his determination to close his adven
tures by planting the flag on the dome of the
Capitol, but the petty delays to which he was
subjected by the officers in charge of the
building, caused him to alter his purpose,
and it was finally placed on the Washington.
monument, where it now waves, a silent but
irrefutable witness to the falsehood of the
Radical assertions and theories in regard to
the Southern people.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE DEMO.
CRATIC PARTY.
The zeal and vigor with which we deem It
our duty to defend the rights of the Presi
dent in the present grave conjuncture, render
• it proper that we should separate the per
sonal from the public aspects from' this ex
citing controversy. We cannot consent, to
be parties to a personal quarrel between An
drew Johnson and Edwin M. Stanton. The
Democratic party has no greater objection to
Stanton's being Secretary of War duringlhe
last year of his term, than it had
to his holding that position during the first,
or the second, or the third year ot Mr. John
son's administration. A change to which
we should have-Attached importance two
years ago, bus become indifferent tous now.
We should- certainly prefer Mr. Johnson to
Mr. Wade for President during the remain
ing year of the. terra; but Mr. Johnson has
become so powerless, Inconsequence of the
Radical legislation, that the mere change ot
men will be attended - with no very impor
tant results. Mr. Wade, to be sure, will have
a freer control of the Federal patronage;' but
as the important offices have been ell along,
and arc now, filled with Republicans, the
substitution of a Radical for Mr. Johnson
will make little difference In the relative
strength of parties. -We defend Mn Johnson
on purely public grounds. The revolutionary
recklessness manifeated.in his impeachment
will profit the Democratic party by incens
ing and disgusting the country;. and weep
pose it from, no personal or party motives,
but only in-the interestspf free. institutions.
Mx. Johnson is not a Democratic Pres!-
' dent, . but a- - Republican President. The
chronic difileitity between him and Con
gress is a quarrel_ iu the "Republican party.
Be was not elected by our votes; he has
never deform"( to the wishes of our leaders;
he never gsie his • patronage, while he had
patronage to give, to men who possessed our
confidence ; and be bas not sought our count- -
sel iii the steps byivhich the quarreltetween
'him and Congress ham been advanced to the
present crisis. He accepted the policy and
kept, the Cabinet of his predecereor: The
constancy arjtit which he has resisted the
revolutionary measnrWof the Radicals, de
serves the approbation of all virtuous men ;
but the Methods of his resistance - have been
Shori-sighted, weak, and tempor
izing. They have resulted, as half-measures
cothmonly do, in great emergencies, in in
ereasing eruharrasment to himself and a sm•
cession of triumphs to his adversaries. If he

shall be President for another Year is of little
consequence; but it is of great consequence
to know whether Presidents elected by the
people are to be put out of office on every
frivolous pretext which's partisan ' Congress
may hatch: The South rebelled 'because
President was elected whom. they -did not
like; but the right of the people to decide
who shall fill the chief magistracy is quite as
dangerously attacked if a President is -put
out of "office for no other reason than that
his political opponents do not approve of bis
administration. 'Mr. Johnson has done noth
ing which 'a Den elected by
the people would not "have done ; he has done
far less to damage and thwart the Republi
cans - than a- Democratic 'President would
have done ; s and if mere political opposition
is to be deemed a sufficient reason for fling

on the verge of Mexican anarchy. The-sue-,

smaller evil than the practice, now about to
be introduced, of substituting the caprice of
a partisan and fragmentary Congress for reg
ular elections by the people.
~ 1 0013. CE” VS. FARE'S:.
The public were made to believe at the
time of Gen..Thomas' appointment to relieve
Stanton that the scene between them at the
War office was one of an intensely exciting
Paul dramatic character. Highly_ wrought
accounts of the interview were sent over the
country, and a great many innocent minded
persons actually thought, no donbt,4that we
had made a narrow escape from one Of the
bloodiest incidents in history. The Radicals
have studiously - laliored to keep up this im
pression. arid not without success. Their
whole aim has been to•make their followers
believe that the President sought to violate
:the law, by forcibly ejecting Stanton, with
out recourse to the courts, and as good's way,
perhaps, as they could have adopted to keep
up the delusion was to send out these exag
•t;erated pictures at the expense of the two
leading actors. Lnekilv,though, the trnth Is
leaking out at last,and it is beginning to be as
certained that the only "force" used was on the
part•of ; Stanton himself. The testimony of
Gen. Thomas, on Saturday, reveals the exact
amount of this "force" and the kind of "reop
ens employed on the momentous occasion.
It will be perceived from the fcillowing ex
tract that they were of an extremely -formi
dable character, and well calculated to strike
awe into the heart of the Nation. After de
tailing his demand for possession of the War
office, in presence of the Radical Congress
men, Gen. Thomas says Stanton called him
into an adjoining room, and continues :
"Mr. Stanton turned to me, and got talk
ing in a very --familiar manner with me ; I
said : 'The next time you have me arrested
please don't do it before I get . something to
eat." [Laughtenj I have bad nothing to eat or
drink to-day. [Continued laughter.] He put
his arm around my neck, as be used to do,
in a familiar manner, and ran his hand
through my hair, and turned around to Gen:
Schriver and said 'Schriver have you got a
bottle here? Bring it out" [Roars of laugh
ter.] Schriver unlocked his desk and took
out a small vial ; the Secretary then proposed
should have a spoonful - of whiskey ; I
said I would take a little ; General Schriver
poured it out into a tumbler and divided it
equally. lie took the glasses up this way
(indicating) and measured them with his eye;
presently al messenger came in with a full
bottle of whiskey, and the cork was drawn
and he and I took a drink together.'
"Q. WaS that all the force exhibited that
day? A. That was all.
Q. Have you at any time attempted to
use force to get into that office? A. At no
time."
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL RE.
SIIMED.
Scandalous . Unfairness of the Radical
===l
Ca terJust lee Chases Honorable Conduct.
The impeachment trial was resumed at
noon on Thursday, the 9th inst. Soon after
the opening of the. "High Court" the man
agers on the part of the House came over,
and were followed by spelker Colfax and
about twenty or thirty, Radical members. It
being understood' that Judge Curtis would
open the argument for the defense, the crowd
in the galleries was much larger than on any
day last`week. A number of representatives
'of foreign governmentrwere present in the
diplomatic gallery. Mr. Butler called anoth
er witness on the part of Congress, to the
great disgust of the audience, W. IL Wood,
the carpet-bag man of Alabama, said to have
been at one time speaker of the Ohio Legis
lature,was sworn: Had applied to the Pres
ident for office ; could not get it ; the Presi
dent's motto was, "Justice to all, favors to
friends only." Mr. Stanbery explored the
witness by asking if he had not told a Mr.
Koppel that he had been advised it would be
greatly to his interest to testify against the
President. Blodgett, the carpet-bag Post
rilaster of . Augusta, Ga:, had a plaintive tale
about suspension, hut was mum on the cause,
which was that he had been indicted for per
jury. General Thomas' letter accepting the
position of Secretary of War ad interim was
also offered in evidence, and admitted with
out objection.
The prosecution having no, other testimo
ny to Introduce, Judge Curtis, at a quarter
before one o'clock, arose to open the argu
ment for the President. The greatest inter
est was manifested by the immense audience
present to hear what he had to say. Nearly
every Senator was in his seat, while the House
managers, including Mr. Stevens, were pres
ent at their table, and seemed to realize the
strength of his argument. However much
the impeachment has been butchered by, the
managers, Mr. Curtis has at least . given it a
decent burial. The speech is pronounced by
all an effort • every way worthy of his-great
reputation. He held the Senate and galle
ries spell-bound three hours. Leadlugmen.
of the Senate sat as if magnetized. After
speaking until twenty minutes past ~two
o'clock, the counsel yielded in order to allow
a recess, which was accordingly taken. The
Court re-assembled at a quarter before three
o'clock, when Mr. Senator Morrill, of Ver
mont, moved to adionrn, which, however,
was disagreed to—yea's 2, nays 45.
...Judge
Curtis then resumed his argument and spoke
with even greater effect than at the opening.
He cont reed his remarks until tw,enty min
utes"to four o'clock, when he said he had
reached a point in his argument .where lie
would like to rest 'for a while; owing to the
exhaustion occasioned
- by the physical . and
'mental labor - he had been compelled to um
dergo. Mr. Reward,- Johnson, with that
courtesy tor which he is so distinguished, im
mediately arose and' roared that the Court
adjourn until Friday, which witsunenimons

removal of Stanton was not fottedden by
• rst:- - z4te language of Itie — nit
Nothing CO boracite untimffirkitte Than the
phrase "during the term of the .President by

Stanton is 'not protected by the tenure-of

Johnson appointed hint, • But an appoiitt
ment consists in a nomination to St.,nate,
a confirmation by that body, and a consnds
sion. Ig Stanton's case there him been neith;
cr nomination, confirmation nor coruffilssion
since Mr. Lincoln commissional hint to serve,
"during the pleasure of the President ;" thia
commission being the only title to office
which ho has to exhibit. Clearly the language
of the law does not include him.
Second.—Judge Curtis proves that the
language of the law strictly conforms to its
intention. In explicit terms the act ees
members of the Cabinet in an exceptional
position and provides that their term oroffice
shall expire one month after that of the Pres
ident who appointed them. The reason for
this exception is clearly to give every Presi
dent the selection of hla own confidential
advisers.
Third.—Judge Curtis read the dr.eLsrations
of Mr. Schenck in the_House and Mr. Sher
man in the Senate that the tenureotoffice
act did not apply to ),Jr. Stanton, and gave
due prominence awl emphasis to the fact that
they were the official expositions of persons
who were acting, as rile ,organs of the two
Houses, and ' that theSe othcial expositions
were immediately indorsed • and adopted in
accepting the amendment. . The part of the
act relating to Cabinet officers was traded b)
a Committee of Conference. Wheiethey had
agreed upon . It, they preseeted it in each
House, explained it in the sense
- pat upon it
by the President, and thereupon it was ifn
meiliately passed with these explanations as.
its accepted sense. •
- Foura—Theinterpretation given to the
act by the President is in accordance with
the advice given him by his Cabinet.
After order had . been, restored, Mr. Stan
bery called. Gen. Vorenzo Thomas, Secretary
of War ad iuterbo, and that 'gentleman ap
peered and was sworn tie a witness. He an
swered all questions in a clear, straightfor
ward matinee; which gave evidence of the
honesty and sincerity of his statements. The
Managers raised a question as to the admiss
ibility of his evidence going to show that the
President never directed him to use force in
securing possesion of the War Department,
which, after A long debate, was decided
against them by a vote of 42 yeas to 10 nays,
to the great surprise of the audience and the
managers themselves. The witness stated
that the President never directed him ; to use
any force whatever to gain possession of the
War Department. He simply desired to have
the matter settled by the Courts. His narra
tion of what occurred at the War-Depart
merit between Mr. Stanton and himselfwhen
he demanded possession thereof, was exceed
ingly plain and simple. He said that after
demanding formal possession, Stanton fol.•
lowed him into Gen. Shriver's room, asked
for the latter's bottle, poured out what flee!.
there was in it, and took a drink with the
witness, which created great laughter. ' Me.
Stanbery, taking advantage of the favorable
opportunity, asked Gen. Thomasigt this (re
ferring to the social drink) was rya the force
he (Thomas) used on that oceasio'n.t General
Thomas promptly responded 'tit Ae affirma
tive, and then followed another o)nburst of
laughter, which seemed to make era Butler
ashamed of himself. Karsener, of pelaware,-
who accosted Gen. Thomas' Ai the White -
House levee on March 9th, provedto be
spy, and his evidence was disposed of at
Short notice. The mythical conspiracy'
to seize the War Department by force
was entirely dispelled and the first five
articles of impeachment toppled over. After
Mr. Stanbery had concluded the examination
of the witness, lie was cross-examined at
length by Spoony Butler, who still insists on
taking charge of the case himself. Now and
then Bingham asks a question, or Stevens
suggests one. Boutwell, Wilson, Williams,
and Logan, have little or nothing to say.
Saturday's Proceedings.—The impeachment
trial was continued before an overcrowded
audience on the floor and in the galleries.
Gen. Thomas was again called as a witness,
and expressly swore that the President neY
-er authorized, or requested, or suggested that
he should use force in securing possession of
the War Office. ' Gen. •Sherman being the
next witness, stated that the President had
tendered him the War Office on two'occa- .
sion.s, after Stanton had been re-instated. , But
the several questions, first, as to what the
purport of the conversation between Gen.
Sherman and the President was, as to wheth
er the President ever said anything to' Get..
Sherman concerning the use of three to get
possession of the War office; as to whether
the President had ever spoken to Gen.-Sher-,
man of an Intent to employ intimidation or
threats to get Stanton out, and as to what
Gen. Sherman knew about the creation of the
Department.,of the Atlantic, were all over
ruled by the Senate, after sharp discussions
between the opposing counsel. Chief Justice
Chase took the ground, thus violated by the
Court, that the Ginerars statement or the
conversation between himself and the Presi
dent, in regard to Mr: Staiittin's removal was
admissible. Mr. Stanbery and Mr. Everts, of
the President's 'counsel, made strong
meats to show how vital the evidence sought
to be obtained from lien. Sherman was to
the case, and that as the prosecution had,
brought forward in evidence to maintain
their charges the declarations Of the defend
ant made at the lime, so there were declara
tions which the defence were ready to show
were equally competent. Finding it futile to
continue the attempt to introduce Gen. Sher
man's valuable testimony, the counsel for the
defence said that, reserving the right to in
terrogate Gen. Sherman hereafter, if that
should be decidedupon, they had at.preseat
no further questions to put to him. The re

including Sumner, Fessenden, Fowler, An

Gen. Sherman's testimony. •
Ifeeday'a Procadingx—On Monday the
effort to secure the admission of Gen. Sher
man's testimony was renewed, and partially
succeeded, against the strenuous exertions of
the House managers. The substance of It
was that the frerident stated to Gen. Shere
man, tirst, that he intended to get Secretary
Stanton out of office ; Second, that his pur-,

During -the recent' discussion in the Penri

from Chester, said :
"I may possibly see the day that I may

"Ait intelligent negro is better • than an

A. C. Reinohl, a member of the name party,

Letter from Harrisburg.
ihnnienuuo, April 9,180.
Dear Otttereer:—Having a moment of
leisure this evening, I hasten to . drop you a
felt 'heti which may be of intetegt to your
readers.
Harrisburg is dull. 'remember that when
I visited the city, five years ago this spring,
I found it the scene of continual bttstle. Long
lines of soldiery were constantly paniding
the streets, and the sound of drum and fife
mingled with the music of clattering hoofs
and hurrying vehicles. Then the .1 streets
were crowded with pedestrians, all intent
upon-business, and Market street, the prin
cipal thoroughfare of our Capital city, ri
valled in tumult the 'far-famed Broadway.
Now, the scene is changed. There is little to
vary the monotony of every day life, and the
very "local" rubs his bend, and etrerybody
longs:kir something to turn, ap' 'whereby be
may swell his scanty columns. But, not
withstanding this comparative dullness, liar
rlabury, hi still , growing. All over the city
new buildings are springing up, vast irn
provements are being made and the pros
pect is that one day our Capital city will be
one of the moat important in the land.
One item of news , worth sending is the
death of Thomas Hanlon, of the celebrated
Hanlon Brothers, gymnasts, whose exhibi
tions in this country and in England have
won them much notoriety. Ori Thursday of
i
last week , while stopping n this city', he
gave tokens• of insanity, and openly an
nounced his intention to commit suicide. In
view of these facts, he was bound and con
fined in the county jail for security. While
in confinement be seized upon various in
struments for the purpose of killing himself;
all of which were, with much ditilenity,
wrested from him. When he found himself
bereft of every other means otbringingaltout
his own destruction, lie leaped' unceasingly
in the air, and by a strange gymnastic move
ment, struck his head against the solid well.
Ere ho could be restrained he had nearly
factured his skull, and fallen senseless upon
the floor. A few hours after be died front
the effect of his 'wounds. •
Besides this; I have observed nothing of
beat notice worth recording, and, therefore,
I will turn to that object to which. the'eyes
of a majority of citizena'of our Stater are now
directed, via:—The Legislature. Soon after
my arrival I heard a number of individuals,
in common conversation, make allusion to
what they called the "Steel Works." My
curiosity was at once - aroused, and I soon
made inquiry cobeerning this new establish
ment, when I learned that the "Harrisburg
Steal Works" was nothing more nor less than
a name familiarly applied by the citizens to
the present Legislature. Whether it be a
Just appellation or not let others decide.
This fact, however, is not to be controverted,
that whatever faults the present Legislature
may possess, it is 'fully equal in point of
talent to the Legislature of any State in the
Unless:- Here are some of the very hest men
of the State, and, it Might be well to add,
some who are not far from being the worst.
Whatever may' be said in their praise, I can:
not help but say (without prejudice, I hope)
that the majority make a sad comparison In
point of talent with the men who were sent
to assemble in these halls in good old Demo
cratic days. .
' I was in the Senate last evening when our
distinguished ch'airman of the State Central
Committee, received a telegram announcing
the result of the Connecticut election. The
telegram having been handeAto the clerk of
the Senate; it was moved that it be read,
when, lo and behold! the Republican mem
bers were even unwilling to have their ears
*reed with such sad intelligence. It was
evident to all that they greatly deplored the
result ofthe contest, and perceived in it a
sure harbinger of Democratic victory in the
fall elections. All hail ! gallant little Con
necticut ! The hopor of being the Nan guard
of Democracy in the presidential contest la
thine!
For the last few' ays the Republican press
have been making a great furore' over what
they call "the contested seat," charging that
Mr. Shugart, Demomptic Senator from the
"Long" district, bad obtained his position by
fraud, and that Mr. Robinson, the Radical
nominee, was entitled to the seat. A major
ity of the committee : appointed to investi
pte the contested claims, have reported in
tavor of Mr. Robinson, the contestant, who
has already taken the seat on the floor of the
Serrate. Mr. Jackson brought into the Sen
ate, last evening, his minority report, which
I defy' anrimpartial man to read and dis
credit. - Taking the Republican members
upon their own grtrund,he proves conclusive
ly that the Democratic Senator is entitled to
the seat,and the Radical msjority,in excluding
Mr. Shugart, have been guilty of one of the
most shameless crimes of their disgacefhl
career.
It is hard to state a n chls, time when the
Legislature will r adjou , but general opinion
fixes the time about the middle of next week.
The concluding exercises, will no doubt con
sist, as tuna), of long and blatant speeches
upon sonic exciting theme,(impeachment, no
doubt) out of which the members may make
political capital. SPursx.
