Hood, of South Carolina, and Adolphus Dupriest and George Holland, of North Carolina, who are serving out terms in the Albany 1'cn- itcntiary for Ku-Klux outrages. A recent Washington dispatch says a number of letters had been received from Quaker and other friends of the Indian pence policy throughout the country, asking clemency in behalf of the Modoc Indians lately ou trial for the murder of General Canby. of these letters raise the question that the trial of the offenders was illegal under the decision of the Supreme Court in the Milligan case that civil courts being in existence, a military tribunal had no jurisdiction. Another question raised is that General Canby was killed while in action as a Fuace Commissioner, and not as an officer of (lie army in war. Theee questions will come directly before the President for his action.

A Washington special to the New York of tin- 21st says the Secretary of the Treasury had authorized an explicit denial of all published statements regarding an alleged deficit in the Treasury. It was claimed that there was and had been no deficit of a dollar. The Bureau of Education at Washington has information that Chicago and Cincinnati each received from the Vienna Exposition the grand medal of progress for a system of education, teaching and instruction, and Cleveland and Jacksonville, 111., arc awarded a diploma of merit in the same department. In this one department of education, leaching and twenty-live were awarded to United Foreign Intelligence. The health of the Emperor Willinm is reported to be precarious.

A Berlin correspondent says his death is one of the events for which it is well to be prepared. A Madrid dispatch of the 17th says the Insurgents of Cartagena had released and armed 1.SOO convicts. The Madrid of the ISth alleges that the French Government was secretly favoring the operations of the Carlists in order to strengthen the cause of the Count de Cham- burd. A dispatch from sources on the states that the French Government had taken the initiatory step towards recognizing the Carlists as belligerents, having issued orders permitting the i of arms and munitions of war between the two Custom-House lines in the south of France. Charles Frederick August William, Duke of Brjnswick, Germany, died recently, of apoplexy, aged 19 years.

Abbott, General Deputy of the Patrons of Husbandry, who has been engaged for some time past in organizing Granges throughout New England, addressed a public meeting at Boston, on the evening of the 19th, on the objects of the Order, and then established a Grange in that city. Rev.

Gardiner Spring, for sixty-three years the pastor of the Brick Church (Presbyterian) congregation, In New York City, died at his residence in that city on the 19tu, aged 89 Mrs. Schmidt, of Long Island City, has pleaded guilty to an indictment which charges her with attempting to strangle to death a child that had been placed in her care, and for whose maintenance she was paid $10 a month.

Vice-President Wilson has been elected President of the.

New York Cuban League. An examination into the alleged servitude and abuse, in New York city, of Italian boys, has developed the fact that such outrages have existed. In two houses one hundred and fifty children were found, and in each room ten or twelve boys were tied by the wrists with a A man was in charge of every room. In some cases the children were marked by the padroncs by branding on the check, lip, or ear. President Grant and parly arrived at Long Branch from their New England trip on the Gold in New York on the 22d closed at General Rosser, in charge of the railway survey of the Stanley Yellowstone expedition, has reported that he finds the new route of access to Western Dakota, from the Missouri to the Yellowstone River, entirely practicable and satisfactory, it being greatly superior to those of former days.

The distance, 205 miles, is twenty-one miles shorter than the survev of 1871. The grades are moderate. The Directors of the Company have accepted the new line recommended by General Rosser, from Bismarck, the present end of the track, to Yellowstone crossing. A horrible accident occurred on the Chicago, Alton A St. Louis Railroad, a few miles from Chicago, on the night of the 10th.

It seems the St. Louis fast express train, which left Chicago at nine o'clock in the evening, was met by a eon! train about two and a half miles north of Lemont, both trains running at full speed, when a fearful collision ensued. Both engines were completely wrecked, and the smoking-car of the express train was thrown atop of the engine of the coal train, and the steam passed in upon the passengers through a scam that was made in the bottom of the car. Eleven persons, all of whom were i smoking-car, were killed, and forty others severely injured, many of them fatally. A DCS Moines dispatch of the Ifith says an official statement shows that the number of Granges in Iowa was 1,750.

The number in was put down, and the Sheriff told the place where the prisoner had been taken to. Kellar was then searched for and found eight miles east of La Cygne, and was taken back to the town. The crowd was appealed to in behalf of law and order, and a committee of twelve was appointed "to de- United States on the 10th of July was tlie whole of his ianded and personal estate to the city of Geneva. A Vicuna special of the 19th says: "The distribution of the prizes was a very tame affair. There were only about persons present.

Archduke Charles Louis made a congratulatory address on the successful termination of the Exposition, after which the list of successful compel! 'ors was rend." A battle was fought, on the ISth, between a force of CarlUts and three columns of Spanish Republicans, in which the former were victorious. The engagement occurred in the open country between the towns of Berga and A cable telegram of the ISth says that so far this month twenty newspapers in the French provinces had been suppressed by the Government. A portion of a passenger tram going East over the Great Western (Canada) Railway, plunged into the Wclland Canal on the Ifltii, the draw-bridge being open. Fortunately no lives were lost. The International Patent Rights Congress recently in session at Vienna, adopted resolutions to the effect that only the inventor him- Bclf or his legal successors shall obtain a patent the granting of a patent cannot be refused to foreigners the duration of a patent for an invention to be for fifteen years, or for a shorter term, wiih the option of extending it to that period the complete publication of a patent to be obligatory the expense of granting a patent to be established on a moderate but progressive scale a specification of all patents in force must be accessible to the pub- lie.

Kenealcr, the leading counsel for the defense in the trial of the Tichborne claimant, concluded his address to the jury on the 21st. He commenced to speak ou the 23d of July, and occupied the attention of the court every day with the exception of the usual adjournment from Saturday to Monday and an extra adjournment from the 31st of July to the 5lh of Angus; in consequence of the illness of a juror. Dispatches were received at Madrid on the 21st announcing that a battle had taken place near Berga, between the Republicans and the Carlist insurrectionists, in which the former were victorious, the Carlists having ninety killed and three hundred wounded. The siege of Berga had been raised, and the Insurgents were in full retreat. The Turkish troops have succeeded in capturing and killing the Carayanny brigands, who were implicated in the brutal massacre at Marathon.

The brigands made a desperate but futile resistance, and were finally overpowered. Prince Napoleon has been elected President of the Council General of Corsica by a majority of thirty. Advices from the north of Spain, received in Madrid oc the 23d, and which were deemed trustworthy, report the Carlist troops as being discouraged and insubordinate. The Republican array, under command of General Sanchez Brcgua, numbering 12,000 men, had entered Bilboa. The Carlist forces occupying the city withdrew without offering battle.

The seventh annual reunion of the Army of the Cumberland will be held In Pittsburgh on the 17th and 18th of September. 8. S. Cox has been nominated by the Democrats of the Sixth New Tork Congressional District for the vacancy caused by the death of the lion. James Brooks.

Gold in New 1'ork on the 18th closed at th 5,000, with a total membership of 250,000. Ellen McKinney, of Chicago, in order to hurry up the tire, poured kerosene oil from a can into tlie stove. Both herself and her little girl, aged four years, were fearfully, and probably fatally, burned. The number of killed and wounded by the recent railroad accident near Chicago, as reported on the 19th, was fifty-one. The dead, up to that date, were: Captain John W.

Leading physicians have informed the nn! that, with the exception of a district of a few blocks in the extreme southwestern portion of the city, there is no cholera in Chicago, and that the eases that have occurred in the district referred to were not Asiatic cholera, but of a sporadic character. It is further asserted that the general health of the city shows a better average than tlie corresponding seasons of the past few years. It is reported that in a small house near La Cygnc, during the night of the 17th, two women and two children were consumed and all arc believed to have been murdered, and the house fired, by the husband of one of the victims, named Kellar. J. Puffenbcrger, the engineer of the coal train i caused the recent terrible collision on the Chicago it Alton Railroad, was under arrest in Chicago on the 19th.

Edward Beane, the conductor of the coal train, who resides in Joliet, had not yet been arrested, although efforts were being made to discover his whereabouts. Puflcnbcrger seeks to throw all the blame for the collision on the conductor, alleging that his (I'uffenbcrger's) watch was fifty minutes slow, and that he was not aware of this fact. By the rules of the Company, when the orders for the running of trains are violated, the engineer is equally responsible with the conductor of the train violating the regulations. Beane was said to have been at bis home the day after the accident, in a half- crazed condition. It is said that after the accident he was observed running up and down the track, begging some one to shoot him.

At a meeting held at Beloit, on the 19th, the Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois Agricultural Association organized, electing the Hon. If. N. Davis, President; S. J.

Goodwin, Chief Marshal; Henry F. Hobart, Secretary and Treasurer; eleven Vice- Presidents, and eight Superintendents of Departments. The first fair of the Association will be held Friday, September 5, upon the grounds of the Beloit Driving Park Association. Mayor Mcdill, of Chicago, and family have gone on a trip to Europe. Alderman L.

L. Bond is acting Mayor of the city in the absence of Mr. Mcdill. The Coroner's Jury in the case of the recent collision on the Chicago A St. Louis Railroad, near Chicago, after a patient investigation and the examination of a large number of witnesses, have rendered a decision that the victims of tlie disaster came to their deaths from extensive scalds and the inhaling of steam on the occasion of the collision; "and we the jury find from the evidence that said collision was caused by the criminal carelessness of Edward Beane, conductor, and Joshua Puffenbergcr, engineer of said coal train Xo.

28, in violation of the rules and regulations of said railroad company, governing the movement of trains on said railroad." The company has offered a reward of $1,000 for the apprehension of Beane. Kellar, the murderer of his wife and Mrs. Boyd and the two childrc near Twin Springs, Kansas, was arrested and locked up in jail at La Cygne. Ou the IBth a party of four hundred to five hundred men assembled at the jail and demanded that the Sheriff should deliver the prisoner to them. The Sheriff refused them admittance to the jail, but was overcome, and it was discovered that the prisoner was not in the building, as he had been previously removed to escape the mob.

The Sheriff was threatened with death unless the place of concealment was told, Al) authority cide whether Kellar should be hung or held for trial. The vote was seven for hanging, and the crowd proceeded deliberately to cie- cute the verdict. Boyd, the husband and father of the murdered family, put the noose on Kellar's neck, and the wagon on which the prisoner stood was driven from under him, and the wretched man was thus executed. No doubt existed as to Kellar's guilt. All the lynehcrs were undisguised citizens of the neighborhood and county, some of them the wealthiest and best residents.

A thirteen-year-old girl in Petersburg, 111., was successful in an attempt to kindle a fire, a few days ago, by the use of kerosene oil. She died soon after. In St. Louis, ou the evening of the 20th, Hortensc Elder used oil for fuel in the stove. Her funeral took place the following day.

A gang of ruffians boarded a passenger train on the Missouri Pnulfle Rnilruafl, near Holtlcn, on the evening of August 20. Obstructions were placed upon the track, and while they were being removed they came upon the train under the pretense of searching for horse thieves. The conductor thought they were thieves and called upon the pnssengers for assistance. Immediately fifteen revolvers, in the hands of fifteen determined men, were pointed at the ruffians. Overawed, they kept quiet, and left the car at Holden.

On the platform at the latter place one of them was shot and one severely wounded. On the evening of August 20th a bold attempt was made to capture the pay-car of the Hannibal it St. Joseph Railroad, between Cameron and Kansas City. The engineer, when a few miles out from Cameron, saw a gang of men piling ties on the track. Reversing bis engine at once, he put back into Cameron.

An attempt was made on the evening of the 18th to capture or damage the train of the Atlantic it Pacific Road north of Leavenworth. There were several shots fired at the engineer, and nearly every window in his cab was broken by bullets. The Ohio State Convention of colored men met at Chillicothe on the 22d. John Booker, of Columbus, was chosen President, and C. L.

Maxwell, of Xenia, Secretary. Several Viee- Presideuts were also elected. About one hundred delegates were present. Resolutions were adopted--protesting against "Uie unjust discrimination permitted toward us by the representatives of the party whom we aid in securing official declaring the colored voters of Ohio "do not consider themselves under eternal obligations to a party which favors us as a class only in proportion as it is driven by its own necessities;" and urging the colored men of the Stale to refrain from unconditionally pledging themselves to the nominees of their local conventions, and that they use their best discrimination in determining for themselves, in each locality, whom to vote for, or whether to vote at all. A Catholic priest whom Bishop Foley had deposed, has brought suit in the Circuit Court of Chicago, against the Bishop to recover $25,000, claiming to have been damaged to that eitent by the action of the Bishop, which, lie alleges, was a violation of the canons of the church.

Judge Emerson has sustained the defendant's demurrer in the case of Ann Eliza Young cs. Brigham Young, for divorce, against the jurisdiction of the District Court. The Judge held that the Probate, not the District, Court had jurisdiction in divorce cases. A Cincinnati dispatch of the gives the following particulars of the recent collision on the Marietta A Cincinnati Railroad: The Hillsboro and Lovclaml accommoda- tion, to which the accident occurred, left the whom Montgomery station on time. The freight ing ofl train, bound from Chillicotlie to this city, in charge of Conductor Pewett, was bebiiidiime.

It is said that his watch was fifteen minutes slow, and, in addition, it it reported that the regular engineer (Smith) and he had some 150 entered the village in the evening and killed a man named Trice. Warrants were issued for the arrest of Manes and his party. Subsequently he and his followers, to the number of thirty, entered Perryville and took possession of the Court House. It was understood that the State militia had been detailed to preserve order. The recent Republican State Convention of Teias renotninated E.

J. Davis for Governor. The balance of thb ticket is composed 8s follows: For Lieutenant-Governor, P. II. Taylor; Comptroller, J.

W. Thomas; Treasurer, A. T. Moore; Land Commissioner, Jacob Kuchlcr, Superintendent of Education, A. B.

Morton. A resolution was adopted endorsing the Ad- minfttration of President Grant. From the developments in the Wawaset investigation it seems that when the fire broke out the engineer was tending bar. He served two or three customers to drink while the smoke was issuing from the immediate vicinity of the boiler and fire-room. Several frame buildings, three miles south of Louisville, were destroyed by fire on the morning of the 22il, and a negro family, consisting of father, mother, and four children, were burned to death.

Representatives of the Patrons ol Husbandry of the Georgia State Grange met In Athens, a few days ago, the number of delegates present being sixty-four. The number of Granges organized in the State was nincty- siii Great enthusiasm hi the Order was manifested, and much important business was transacted. The Recent Railroad Horror. Tlie Chicago TriTmru of tlie 18th gives tlie following statement concerning the recent horrible accident on the Chicago, Alton St. Louis Knilittaft: The truin consisted of locomotive, a tag' gage-cur, smoking-car, two coaches, and two sleeping-cars.

The cars were well filled, particularly tlie smoking-car. The train was duo ut Willow Station at 9:55, and wns on time. It is not usual this truin to stop at that station, but or. this occasion it was necessary, in order to tali-ion a sleeping-cur which wns brought from St. Louis by the train which left that city in tht- mor.iing.

The train started from Willow Station, according to the best evidence, Icn minutes behind, mid, as it is customary on this road to make up lost time, undoubtedly the rate of speed was somewhat accelerated. The conductor anil engineer knew they were to puss a coal truin at Lemont, seven miles distant, but unhappily that train did not wait, as it should have done, but came on toward the passenger train, expecting to make Willow Station, "it was a race for life. The conductor and engineer of the coal train knew that the passenger train, laden with precious lives, wns in front, and if they did not reach a. switch by 11 certain time a collision was inevitable. Hotli trains were rushing toward destruction.

On they Hew over the iron way through the darkness, the speed increasing at every revolution of the wheels. The passengers in tbe sleeping-ears were preparing to retire, or had already done so. Those in the coachee were looking forward to reaching their destination, where expectant families awaited their coming. The suspicion of danger never crossed the minds of any, when suddenly, without 11 moment's warning, not even a whistle, the two trains were locked in an embrace of death, and in one terrible moment wives were made widows, children became fullicrless, mourning was sent to the threshold of many happy homes, and sorrow that can never be eradicated pierced many hearts. There were three concussions--first, when the engines met and were destroyed; second, when the baggage- car struck and was smashed into frag- A smoking-car the nir, alight- CURRENT PARAGRAPHS.

meuts; and third, when collided and leaped in ing on the fractured boiler of the freight engine. The remains of the passenger- train engine were thrown from the track, toward the cast, and so were the ruins of the baggage ear. Then came the smoking-enr on top of the boiler. The forepart of this ear was burst open by the force with which it struck, the hind wheels remaining on the track, and there it stood at an angle' of thirty degrees, the passengers imprisoned in the i broken iron and wood, while the dcadh steam came up with terrific force the boiler below, scalding it touched, instantly from those peel words at Lovelund, in which the engineer said he would get him into difficulty before he got to Cincinnati. At any rate, the freight start- e.l, expecting, it is said, to make the'switch at Montgomery station, but failed, the collision occurring at a sharp curve, while the freight train was running on the passenger train's time.

The two engines grappled eaeli other, reared upward, and stood almost erect, the baggage car following. The passenger coaches remained ou the track, but the shock was terrible to the passengers, none of whom ere seriously but some slight injuries were sustained by some persons on tlie passenger train. Charles Kother, the tireman, remained ou his engine, with his father, Elwuod Kother, the engineer, and was crushed between the fire-box and the tender, and the father escaped without apparently serious bodily injury, but he appeared so moved by the excitement of the disaster that he came from tlie wreck with a disordered mind. Brakeniun James (Jerriogo had, in response to the signal "down brakes," wound up his brake, and was assisting the baggage-master, Samuel Harvard, who is also a brake-man, when the shock came. Both were immediut-ely crushed to death.

Both resided at Hillsboro, Ohio. Walter Rhodes, the express messenger, of this citv, brother of J. H. Rhodes, of Adams Express Company, received injuries from which he died after reaching the Cincinnati depot this morning, making four deutlis. All the other injuries received were of no consequence.

It appears elear that the men who bravely remained nt their posts and lost their lives, saved the passengers from fearful casualty. The oltiekils of the road acted with promptness. Physicians were taken from this city, and determination is apparent on the part of the railway officers to hold tlie conductor and engineer of the freight train responsible before the Criminal Court. The inijuest was held at Montgomery, the scene of Ihe accident, in tlie afternon to-day, and the verdict of the jury was that those killed came to their death by the criminal neglect of Conductor Fewett and Engineer Smith, of the freight train, in running out of their time. The jury recommended prosc- cutiug them for manslaughter.

Tbe South. In response to a communication from citizens of Monroe as to the proper course to be pursued regarding Louisiana affairs, John McEncry has written a letter advising a State Convention in December, and the appointment of a committee to appeal to Congress. Fannie Bush (colored), convicted of the murder of an infant child in Harrison county, Kentucky, has been sentenced to be hanged on tlie 14th of November. It is stilted that the mother and her children were starving, and the mother, half crazed, drowned one that she might provide for tlie rest. Jefferson Davis addressed the Southern Historical Convention, at White Sulphur Springs, a few days ugo.

In speaking of the late war hesaid: We have been more cheated than conquered by the declarations of the Federal President, Congress and Generals, for there never could have been a surrender had we anticipated what followed, and we would to-day have been free." A resolution was adopted that President Grant be requested to permit the Secretary of this Society to examine all papers and archives of the Government captured by the Federal forces from the Confederates during the war, and to make copies of such of them as he may think fit. A reigu of terror appears to exist in some portions of Arkansas. Recently, while the Board of Supervisors of Perry County were in cession at Perryville, one Means, the former Clerk of the County, backed by four or five friends entered the court house, and attacked Matthews, an attorney, aud broke up the court. Matthews retreated into a store and there was firing on both sides, during which Matthews was wounded, though he managed to escape. The friends, of Matthews, to the number of ig off the skin, and causing the most excruciating agony.

One moment was sufficient to cause death, but many were there several minutes before being extricated. They breathed the burning atmosphere. One breath was fatal, the inner surface of the chest and lungs being fearfully scorched. As soon as they recovered from the first shock, the passengers in the two coaches and in tlie sleeping-cars, who were uninjured, did all they could to rescue the sufferers. Tlie cause of the accident was the inexcusable foollmrdiness of the conductor of the freight train in leaving l.cmout when he knew that it was a matter of life and death, that it was a mere chance if he could reach a switch in time, that it was his duty to remain there until the passenger train, which had the right of way, was safely by, anil that any way lie had no right to run any risk or lake any chances.

Mr. Ihiston, station-agent at Lemont, entreated him not to leave the station, and so uneasy was Mr. Huston when he did leave, that he listened until he heard the concussion, and then he went to work to secure the necessary aid. The night was dark, the sky cloudy, tlie waning moon shed no light, the slurs were visible overhead, but a thick fog covered the surface of the earth, and lights could not be seen for any great distance. That made no difference, however.

With the same reckless management of the freight train the accident might have occurred in the full blaze of noonday. There would be nothing to prevent it. A curve in the road hid the trains from each other, and the engineers could do nothing to stop their engines. In Ibis case nothing seems to have been attempted. There was no RafTerty there, by a deed of heroism to lighten this gloomy tale.

Burled in a Sand Storm in Colorado. A correspondent of the Pueblo People. writing from Fort Garland under date of July 24, tells the following story: "Last Monday, two Mexican boys, Jesus Maria and Juan de la Cruz Lim- bustero, were taking a herd of 700 sheep across the sand hills of the 'Lomns del Arreno' about twenty-four miles northerly from Fort Garland. The sand hills extend out into the San Luis Valley about fifteen miles, opposite the Mosco "The herders undertook to make a short cut across the hills, instead of going around, as directed by their father. At first everything moved gaily; the boys, and sheep, and dogs only sank a few inches in the light, white sand, and they thought how foolish it was of old fogies to go around twenty miles, when it was only four across, but before they got half across, one of those sudden storms arose; up came a gentle breeze, the breeze became a wind, and the wind an awful hur.

ricane; the sand moved about in blinding clouds, hills changed to holes, and every hole was a seething caldron. "The poor boys struggled hard to avert theirdoom, and Jesus Maria managed, by drawing his scrape over his head, and keeping his feet, and climbing as the sand piled up around him, to survive the tornado; but his younger brother, Juan de la Cruz, succumbed to the suffocating blast, and, as a ship goes down at sea, so sank the brave boy surrounded by his bleating sheep and whining dogs; and when the storm ceased, as suddenly as it had commenced, little Jesus found himself all quiet mounds of glistening sand all around him, and not a trace of the cruel storm nor a wreck of the sad disaster could be seen. "He hurried home, where he arrived the next day, and told his tale of terror. The whole plaza turned out to search for the lost body, and to dig out the missing sheep. Up to the succeeding afternoon they had recovered over 400 sheep, most of them being found about six feet below the surface, aijd the natives from neighboring plazas had flocked to the scene, and were busily engaged digging out sheep, saving the wool and feasting on mutton." --Quicksilver beds have been discovered in Iowa, Incidents and Accidents.
