Afr, Murat Halstoad, of the Cincinnatt Commercial, thought that Gen, Sher- idan would bo tho 'military candidato for tho Presidoney in 1876. " At the Ropnblican Stato Couvention of Penn- sylvanin, tho othor day, Bill Mann, tho loador of tho Philadelphis Ring, confessedly the worat ring in tho United States, proposed the name of ono Paxson for the ofiica of Judge of tho Su- promo Court, Somo doubts were cxprossod as to tho moral character of the candidate, when tho indignant Mann remaried that *lio thought it very wrong for membora of o party to attempt to injure the reputation of party loaders, upon whom they deponded for party strongth.” Tho Couvontion, having renominatod Mackoy forStato Transuroer, concluded that that was as much as the people would stand.

It soéms that the United States will have o good set-off with which to urgo the liberation of the Gordon kidunppers if thoy aro tried and convicted by the Manitobs authoritics. Senator Tamsoy is said to bo in posscesion of a caso in which two Cunadian officors were guilty of kid- uapping under loss oxtonuating circumstances. The facts are roported ag follows: Louis Lo- tondre, & citizon of tho Umted States by birth; was arrested in October, 1871, mnoar the boundary lino, but on the Amorioan side; he was conveyed across tho border, and imprisoned in Fort Garry. Tho charge againat bim was {hat ho had taken part in one of the Fenian raids. For thirty days Le- *tendro was kopt in handeufls; for threo months Lo waa compolled to woar a ball and chain day and night, and throughout his confinomentbe was treated with epocial cruelty, Ho was tried in Decombor of tho samo year, convictod, and sen- tonced to bo hanged. This sentenco was com- muted- to twonty years' imprisonment, Aftor sorving fifteon monthy of the term, Letendro waa liborated without the assignment of any causo. It {8 now stated that tho acousation was falso. THE RAILROAD HORROR. Elsewhero in this issue will be found the pick- oning details of a frightful catastrophe which ocourred Saturdsy might on tho Chicago & Alton Tiailrond, It was the rosult of a colligion botweon tho regular passengor traln, which left Ohicago at 0 o’clock Saturdsy evening, and & rogular coal train coming north, Tho two trains collided at full spoed & few miles north of Lomont, betwoon that station and Willow Bprings. The pnsscnger traln was running on timo, and, nu its ofiicers could bave bad no approhensgion of danger, it must have beon muking the rogular rate of spoed. I'ho conl train was running wild, and, as It was tho purposo of tho conductor to reach Willow, Bprings etation ‘bofore the passongor train conld leave, it must have boon running considorably fastor than the ordinary speed of frolght trains, Tho oxtont of the disrstor indicates that the collision was ono of tromondous force, One ongine was piled upon tho othor, and tho boiler of tha freight on- gino was immodiately torn opon. Tho cary, how- evor, woro not tolescoped. A largo numbor of per-’ sona wero aitting in tho smoking-car, ay {s usual within an hour's ride from tho placo of dopar- turo, and thero waa no escape for thoso from tho scalding water aud steam that poured forth from tho ongine that was jammed up agalust it. Tho number of killed and wounded is roported to be betweon forty and fifty, uine of whom wora doad at last accounts, Choroscoms to be an im- prosslon smong the medical men that oightoon of the passengory Injured will die, Tho large number of doaths and tho frightful charactor of tho wounds and burns, along with the inability of the pusaengers to oxtricato thomuolvos from tho placo where the soalding steam poured In upon them, rendor tho accidont oue of the moet | whatever for criminal recllessness. horrible in the awollon rocord of Amorienn rafl- road catnstrophos, - 5 Viowed in no othior light than that'of- a ghaat- ly horror, by which foriy-tlirce ldman ‘bo- ings aro bronght suddenly and umexpootodly faca to faco with deatls, or with snmstln'ga ‘wargé' than death, such » catastrophe is appalling to svory porson of common sympathios. But thoro s another and more horrible napect to the pros- ont disastor, which likewiso prosonts itsol? in most of our railrond ncoldents, Whon wo think of it ns o sncrifico and slaughtor, which Is the charactor that most of the roports fix upon it, thero is a domand for rotribu- tion ns natural as tho spontancous suggos- tion of sympathy and sorrow, Though tho finnn- oinl rosponsibility of the Railrond Company for the damngos of tho nccidont s vory cloar, thore appoars to be no blamo aftaching tothochiof officors of the road unloss it shall boshown that the conductor who is dircotly guilty waa known, or might have beon known to thom, to bo a reokless and irresponeible porson. All ncoounts of tho aceidont fix the immodiato rosponsibility upon tho conductor of the froight train, Tho passongor train s roportod a8 run- ning on timo with tho oxpootation of passing t! froight train at tho noxt atation, ag por schodute. Bat the froight train abandoned its timo-card and endeavoted to make anothor station, tho conductor theroby incurring the hazard, if not tho cortainty, of a collislon, with opon oyes. By tho rules of the road, theconduotor and ongincer aro mado jointly responsible for tho running of their trains. Tho coal train wne & rogular train, g was tho passongor train. The latter had beon running on this time for soveral years, and-tho formor for mora than a yoar. The conductor of tho coal train had had chargo of it during all this time, and know peorfactly well - tho running time of this particular pasgongoer train, which ho mot everytrip. Itis, thareforo, as yot utterlyinexplica~ blo why hoe should havo loft Lomont, or why the onginoer should have allowed him to do 8o, The managors of tho railroad claim that both the conductor ond the enginoer woro efficiont and oxperionced men, and eay that thoy ‘bhavo ascortained - that thoy were por- foctly gobor ‘at the time of tho collision, This only nidds to the myatery which surrounds their nction. A plansible explanation which has boon advancod is, that, as it was Saturday night, the meri woro anxious to reach home as early as possiblo, and took grentor risks than thoy would havo taken at any other timo, but this scems porfectly inorediblo. So far there hns boen no oxplnnation which relioves tho - conduct- or end engincor of the conl traln from flondish recklossness, the erimluality of which could acarcoly havo boon incrossed by o dolib- - orato intention to run into tho passonger train which thoy know to bo coming. Atlnst accounts, the angineer had not beon found, and thero wero rumors that ho had run away; and the conductor was roportod crazy from n concussion of tho ‘brain, caused by the injuries ha recoivod. If this Xeniont . disnstor shall fail to bo thoroughly investigated and tlic guilty porsons punished, tho officlals who:have tho matter in charge will sharo tho rosponsibility for the blaughter, Coroner's jurics and patit juries, na & rule, fail to do their duty in cases of this kind, Wocannot now recall a single instance in ‘which tho porsons responsible for great disas- tors bavo beon punished in proportion to their guilt, Ou tho other hand, hundreds of cases havo boon allowed to pass out of rocollection and public concern without -any punishment Yot it is cortain that ton yoars in tho penitentiary for tho conductor and englucer, if they. survive, and it tho facts shall bo proved to bo na they aro now stated, would be but meagre rotribution for their guilt. Itis oqually certsin that such n result would bo tho most snlutary losson that could bo taught to .rallrosd . employes, in geoneral, and that the number of accidents at- tributablo to carelessness would deereaso in con- soquenco of it, PTublic sentimont is somewhat to blame for the laxity with which theso rafiroad ond stesmboat slaughters are treated, becauso tho people soom to oxhaust their anger within a day or two, and forgot all nbout the doed or writhing victimo beforo tho disastor can be thor- oughly investigatod. Lot us hope that this caso may prove an exception to tho rule, and that tho awful manslaughtor which now staros us in the fnce may not pass into oblivion without its ap- propriato punishmont, - ‘THE PHILADELPHIA CENTENNIAL. Tno Hon. John Bigelow, formerly Minister to Franco, waa the first to urgo upon public atton-' tion the proprioty of celobrating the contonnial of American indopendence. Iis plan was to securo tho co-operation of our leading poots, artists, sciontists, statesmon, men of lotters, and othors eminont in intollectual labor, to present to tho world a comploto review of what has boen accomplished in tho coun- try within tho Ilnst one hundred years. Tho - samplos thus gathered togother wero fo form. tho foundation of .a national musoum, which was to bo o permanent institu- tion for oxhibiting the results of Amorican labor, Iho contemplated oxpense of the celebration was small, and oll that was asked from tho Govern- ment was the appointment of a Commisson for tho regulation and distribution of the work. Mr. Bigolow now writes o loug lotter to tho Now York Z'ribune to prove that the Philadelphia Lxhibition, which will take place in 1876, aud fs associnted in tho minds of every- body with tho Centonnial Colebration, ‘should not bo rogarded ms o commomora- tion, but that somo othor means of colobrating whould bo adopted.. Ho makes the points that the purposes of tho Philadelphis Exhibition aro inconuistont with o coromonial colobration ; that it is of o local oharacter, aud that no con- sidorablo portion of the peoplo can take part in it ; that it involves o displacement of the popula- tion, and a collection of a largomass of pooplo at ono of the hottest placos in the world at tho hot- tost soason of tho yoar; that it contemplatos tho oxpendituro of a larger suin of money than isnec- ossary ; and, finally, that the possossion of largo sums of money would bo sure to trausfer the con- trol of tho affair to tho * prodatory clusscs." Mr. Bigolow is probably right In saying that tho Stato of Peunsylvania, and particularly the City of Dhiladelphin, are directing tho ountorpriso largoly in the way of a speculation. DBut we don't know that thoro is any objection to this, if tho fundy are honastly raised by privato subseription, os is the cago, the bulk of tho money boing furnished by tho citizons of Ponnsylvaula. It Is cortain thint no other form of colebration could attract 80 much attontlon to tho commomoration as u great aud succosaful exposition. ‘Che Philadels phia Exhibition has alrendy rocelved an intorna- tloual charactor from the Govormmont, and it is thioroughly asaoclated with tho Contonnial Cole- bration all over the world. Any offort now to organize nnother kind of colebration is to bo doprocated, becauso it would divert and dlutrib- uto tho -onargles which ought to_bo' ¥igorously. concontrated to make the Philadelphin Exhibi- tion na comploto & succons and ia much of & na- tiohal triumph an possible, - L ; . IOWA DEMOORAC Tlie Dubuque Herald s ono .of those papors which think that' tho Domocratio party aro, liko the Jows. in Babylon, onduring a tomporary " oxilo, and that in time they will bo restored and .agnln‘ bo tho, choson peoplo., At tho recont Fdrmors' Convontion in Iows, Mr. John P. Irinh, Ohoirman of tho Btato Domooratio Com- mittoo, doolarod that that party could not bo sald to oxist anmy longor In Tows, and ho: was proparod to sccopt its domise choorfully, i in that caso thoro could be a union of all thoso desiring roform in the support of practical romedios for oxisting abuses. Agalnst this atatomont the Dubuque Herald ontors an indignant protest, and olaims that the Domocracy are an indeatruotibte ontity, doter- mined to adhore for all tmo, and prove faithful to thoir *glorious history,” and muoh more of that kind of gibberish. Throughout Iows there aro In various localitics a fow old stagers who agroo with tho Herald, and who rofuso to give up thoir faith in a day of doliveranco. It is o ouriots . othnological fact, that the Domoorats who aro ' opposed to any sbandonment of the party, and in favor of keoplng their 'organization alivo,- ara the most numorous in Btates liko Iowa, whore thoy aro in such a hopoless minority that success, no matter bow romote, is never oxpeoted. Thas in Yermont, whore tho Demoorata constitate, whon tunited, loss than ono-fourth of thie population, thoro is quite a body who insist that tho party muat romaln intact {n gupport of the resolutions of '08. Boin Maino and Masanohusetts, Town snd Michigan, tho fosells aro more obdu- rato in proportion’ to their numbera than they aro anywheroe oleo, Theso Domooratio lendors, who reprosent at most tho fag end of nothing, proposo to keop tho party alive, and ihurcby keop tho Ropublican party in powst; and their policy sooms to be based on tho theory that tho xgopuhucnp party will ovontually make itsolf so odious that the country must voto with tho Domocracy. Never was thoro a- moro .groundloss oxpootation, Tius, it is now protey .woll agcortained that 1f . Grind wants sn- ather term, ho will securo tho forms of o third ,nomination.

Bo with this revengofal faction of tho Domocratio party ;; they would prefer that Grant, or somobody olso, should bocome n Cmsar, hoping that some ovil may come diro enough to mako them respecta~ ble by contrast. 2 It is o quostion howpver, for the masses of tho Democratic parly to ssy how much longor they will' follow those mon who, mso tho name of the Domaoracy to porpotuste tho Ropublican party. Occasionally, 08 in the cuso of ox-Benator- Goorge W. Jones of Dubuquo, ono of theso men of tho past, fairly and honorably deolares himeolf a membor of tho Republican party, proforring to sorve that party dircotly and openly to giving it an indiroct and disguised support. But the great mass of tho men who have voted the Domocratic ticket bave no revenges to gratity, have no desire to, dostroy the Republio, aro utterly opposed to the provailing corruption in politics, and do not caro a pin about perpotustiug & party which thoy know is odlous. Now theso men have the porer to rosouo tho'country from such ovil; it thoy will mako it & point to vote as resolutely ogalnst theso mon calling thomselves the Demo- cratic party @8 they do against the Ropublican party, uniting for that purposo with all other mon having in view the common end of roform, they will soon roduce tho ‘ Domocratic party ", to that condition whoro it will no longer threaton tho moral sonse of tho country, theroby making the Republican party agort of necessary “ovil tobs endured as an oscapo from o groator one, At presont, tho mass of tho Domocratio votors aro the slaves of a fow londors, who hire them out annually to forco tho country to oleot tho Republican tickets. A notable instanco of this kind ig shown in Ohio this vory year, whoro o fow mon have clothed Mr. Allen in tho garments of tho old pro-slavery party, and carry him around tho Stato to show the pooplo what they must. .nccept if they fail to oloot tho Ropublican ticket. A hundred thousaud or more Domoorats In that Btato, aro summoned to parade themsolvos in tho Allen army, to creato tho impression that if the poo- plo do not clect the Republican State tickot thoy: will have to tako Fathor Allon and tho other ohiefu who wroto the * glorious Listory” of the, Domacratio party which onded in the capitula- tion at Richmond.
