The serious accident recorded in another column, resulting from a railroad train run- ning into a street car, is not calculated to argue favorably in behalf of allowing steam cars to run through the streets of the city. The inquiry is at once raised, if the steam trains are managed thus heedlessly while on their good bebavier, with an eye to special privileges asked, what degree of recklessness ™ay not be expected of them when they have full privileges conceded them to dash through the streets at will. So many hair-breadth scapes of street cars and other vehicles from recklessly managed steam cars haye occurred at the Maryland avenue crossing of 7th street, that the only ‘wonder is that not more than two persons have been absolutely killed in that vicinity by the Temorseless iron-horse. In any legislation by the City Councils in the way of conceding privileges to railroads passing through our streets. great care should be taken to throw proper guards around such concessions, so that the lives and limbs of citizens as well as the in- terests of the Corporation shall not be jeopar THE ORANGE AND ALEXANDRIA RAILROAD— Two Meetings of Stockholders—Two President's from Governor Pier; Stockholders of the Orange and Railroad, assembled in annual meeting at the Alexandria Council Chamber yesterday morn- ing at 9o’clock.

Owing to the press of important public busi- ness no yisitors were admitted at the White House to-day. Action on many applications for special pardon has for a similar reason been suspended. The rush of applicants for the New York collectorship has already com- menced, but it is understood that no appoint- ment will be made at present. Hon. Moses F. Odell 1s strongly urged as a candidate, with what prospect of success is undetermined: Yesterday Hon. Kenneth Raynor, of North Carolina, had a protracted interview with the President on matters affecting the interests of that State. No new policy was enunciated by the President, nor was it indicated that he would modify in any degree the course of the Government with respect to that or any other State upon the subject of reconstruction. THE CHOLERA. H.B. Robinson, U.S. Consul at Port Mahone, informs the State Department, in an official dispatch, dated October 20, 1865, that the cholera is disappearing from Palma, where it has been More virulent than at any other place on the Mediterranean, and in proportion to the popu- lation the mortality has been greater than at any place known. The infection at Cindadela, on Mahone Island, has, however, assumed the form of an epidemic. The Consul says the disease is evidently now going inland, and spreading over the Penin- sula. He has positive infornation that the in- fection has crossed the frontiers of Spain, and passed into Portugal. Intelligence from Leip- sic, Savoy, as late as October 24th, represents that one case of cholera appeared there on the 2ist of that month, and that at Werdon, a town of some 10,000 inhabitants, 7) deaths were re- ported on the 22d ult. Despatches from the Consul at Constantino- ple, bearing date of October 23d, bring informa- tion of the complete cessation of the cholera in that city, but says that quarantine will be en- forced against all ships arriving at that port from infected places. The United States Consul at Galatz says that he has been efficially informed of the entire disappearance of the disease at Galatz, and all other ports of the United Principalities of Mol- dayia and Wallachia. Ses COLORED SCHOOLS. Rey. John Kimball, superintendent of col- ored schools of the Freedmen’s Burean in Gen. Eaton’s district, has made an official report to the bureau, from which it appears there are schools in Washington, with 59 teachers and 3,169 pupils. In Georgetown there are four schools, seven teachers and 331 pupils. Alex- andria has 10 schools, 19 teachers, 1,(i32 scholars: and Freedmen’s Village, 2 schools, 6 teachers and 302 pupils. These schools are all in a Prosperous condition, and the teachers are sup- plied by eleven different benevolent societies at the North. THE CASE OF CAPTAIN R. D. PETTIT. The trial of Captain R. D. Pettit, 12th regi- ment Veteran Reserve Corps, lately keeper of the military prison at Alexandria, charged with cruel treatment towards prisoners entrusted to his keeping, will commence, in a day or two, in that city before a military court which has been partially organized by the detail of the follow- ing officers:—Brevet Brigadier General D. B. McKibben, Colonel John Mansfield, Lieuten- ant Carlisle Beyd, and Major H. B. Burnham as Judge Adyocate. DEATH OF 4 VICE CONSUL. The Department of State has information from the U.S. Consul at Kanagawa, Japan, of the death, on September 7th, of Franklin D. Williams, U.S. Vice Consul at Hong Kong. Mr. Williams had resided in China seventeen years, and at the time of his death was about 43 years of age. The widow of the deceased is supposed to be residing at Springfield, Mass, ——______.

DEsTRUCTIVE FIRk.—About 3% o'clock this morning, officer Evans, of the Third Ward, ve an alarm from box 27, corner of M and Fin streets, for @ fire discovered in the rear of an & Co.'s extensive hardware and auc- tion buii: on 7th street, between M and N, which toon t No. 1 steamer and the hook and ladder, in w! district the fire was; and on their arrival a alarm was rung, which brought the er apparatus to the scene. The flames spread very rapidly, and ina short time Coleman's place was & mass of ruins. The stabling in the rear was burnt, and the flames also spread to the two-story house on the north, occupied by Mrs. ©. Levi, and owned by Chas. R. Naylor, which, with the adjoining house, owned by the same party, and occupied by Geo. D. Grimes, was considerably damaged by the flames and water; while the furniture, in being removed, was’ also badly damaged. Mr. Grimes estimates his loss at from $50 to $100, and Mrs. Levi at from $200 to $300, the latter being fully insured. Adjoining Coleman’s on the south, the two-story frame, owned by Mr. J. Shorer, the upper portion oc- cupied by Mr. Chas. Klakring, engraver, and the lower part by Jacob Kulp, was so badly damaged by the flames that what remained was torn down. Mr. Kulp was about to open a tobacco and cigar store, and bad commenced to get in his stock, which was totally destroyed—his loss amounting to about $500. Mr. Klakring lost all his furniture and clothing, with some of his tools, his loss being about $400. A number ef other houses in the same square were some- what damaged. Coleman & Uo. had a large stock of hardware, stoves, tinware, besides an extensive assortment of hospital furniture, purchased at the recent Government sales, which they state was worth about $60,000, on which they have an insurance for $15,000. The heat of the fire was intense, and at one time the piles of furniture in the street were in danger; but the firemen worked nobly, and succeeded in preventing the spread of flames further than mentioned above. The police on the ground rendered valuable assistance, and their exertions, with those of the firemen, won the commendation of the spectators. ree THE AccipeNT THIS MoRNING.—AII the additional evidence concerning the collision of the Orange and Alexandria train with the street-car this morning goes to show the most reprehensibie neglect of ordinary precautions on the part of those managing the train. It appears that no lights were to be seen on the train, the whistle was not blown, or the bell rung, and the first knowledge the driver of the street car had—the morning being dark— of the approach of the train was when he saw the first car of the train, which at that time was only a few feet from his car. Mr. Sayers, the Superintendent of the Wash- ington and Georgetown Railroad Company, states that Mr. Hall, the driver of the car, is one of the most trustworthy men in the employ of the company; that he is a steady, sober man, and was put on car No. 1—it being the first car out—on account of good deportment. Mr. Riddle, the injured conductor, has also An excelent reputation, and was puton that car for good conduct. He is attended by Drs. Scholl and Eliott, who state his leg has sustained a compound fracture, and it may be necessary to amputate it, but they have strong hopes of saving it. Dr. Dove is attending Miss Hutton, and states that her most serious injuries seem to be internal, and were probably caused by some heayy person falling againsi her. ene acest Perric Recc TION OF THE ConGreGa- TIONAL CuURcH.—Last eyening, the OCongre- gational Council, which met in this city yester- day. publicly recognized the First Congrega- tional Church of this city, in the church at the corner of D and 6th streets, at which time the church was crowded to overflowing.
