No RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—The reports of a serious accident on the Philadelphia, Wil- mington and Baltimore Railroad to the New York and Washington express are unfoand- ed.

General Terry is sick at St. Paul,and has no: yet arrived here, and Citizen McNeill, of St. Louis, is still a laggard. Col. Corbin is ready to be off, but awaits the arrival of the other members. It is not expected the commission will head toward ‘Setting Sun” for a week or more. Tue RemMepy Worse THAN THE Dts- EASE.—Gen. Lew.

In short, it contem- plates a reving band of whites armed by the government against roving bands of reds who steal their arms from the goverament. END OF THE B. & O. RAILROAD WAR.— The Secretary of War has received dis- patches from Gov. Matthews, of West Vir- ginia,and Gov. Carroll, of Maryland, stat- ing that in their opinion the presence of fed- eral troops is no longer needed in their re- spective states, and can be withdrawa at any time. Copies of the telegrams were for- warded to Major General Hancock, com- marding the military division of the Atlan- lic, who will issue the necessary orders for the withdrawal of the troops serving along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. HOMES IN THe WEST.—Gov. John L. Pea- nington. of Dakota, writes to the Commis- sioner of Agricu'ture from Yankton, Da kota, August 14, saying: “People in the evs who want homes for the purpose of maki # living by the cultivation of the soil , find no better couutry than Soathera Di kota, and in fact I may say the whole terc'- tory. for agriculture is bsing pushed aloaz the Red river of the North on and beyond ti Northern Pacific ra'lroad with most gra‘ fying success, and all the land uot already entered is absolutely free to actual setuleis.’ PERSONAL —Major Brewer, of the Post Office department, having returned fro.n an extended tour throughuut the west, is now acting ebief clerk of the contract office, in lace of Join L. French, acting 21 assistant Postmaster General. Representative Rainey, of South Carolina, is in the city. ----General J. J. Reynolds and his son, Mid- shipman R. K.

R. HoLLoway ” It 1s supposed in this city that, as Dr. Bliss bas not yet returned, he is visiting Mr. John Delano, son of ex-Secretary Delano. at his heme tn Columbus, and that by this time he has heard of the Senator's condition, and has returned to Richmond. A private dispatch received this afternoon from Gov. Burbaok, also reports Senator Morton’s condition as bett J. MADISON WELLS AND GEN. ToM. AN- PERSON, of the Louisiana returning board, have rot yet arrived in Washington, althongh they were expected here yesterday. They left Cincinnati two days ago, and it is now surmised that they have gone to Chicago to have a conference with ex Goy. Kellogz, who is within easy rail distance of that city, before coming here. There are many speca- lations as to the significance of their visit, and the gossips predict that unless they are #ppeased unsavory Louisiana scanilals are 10 be ventilated.” It is @ coincidence, too, tion of thelr comin ex-Mar- # Pukin and Major Joe Burke, of New Orleans, should be in the city.

Her Marriages: Her Flirtation with Mr Tilden: Agatast Governme: Dellar Bill, Ete. Mrs. Anna Wallingford, well known to the Washington lobby, and somewhat known over the country, particularly to hotel pro- prietors, as an oily topgued, dashing, and ratber handsome woman again comes prom- inently to the suriace. Ske charged George F. Benkert, a prominent weaithy and fash- ionable boot and shoe dealer of Philade!p ita, with baving stolen a $1,000 bill from her at Cape May on the 14th of the present moath. ict seems that the woman made Benkert’s acquaintance last fall, and since about the first of the year the two have been living together, or rather board: at the same house, the man deserting bis famtly for the purpose of freeing, ad up Since he bas tn her company he has become ruined fH ancially,and she has oftentimes paid their hotel bills. More than a week ago, through the persuasion of bis brother and members of the family, Ben Kert attem pted to rid him- selt of Mrs. Wallingford, and there was some trouble. They made up and proceeded to Cape May, stopping at Congress Hall. On the afternoon of the lith she alleges that Benkert abstracted @ #1,000 bill from her pocket-book, and she therefore caused his arrest. At the bearing of the case in Poila- delphia Tuesday, Hon. Alden ©. Scovel, who represented Mr. Bengert, made an address in favor of his client, when be read extracts from all the princ\pal western papers, whic showed the extent of her operations in the west. TI pman orginally came from Dalton, and her maiden name Is be- lieved to bave been Anna Claudine Whitte- | more. She figuret extensively in Kansas, especially at Atchison and Leavenworth, where she lived with a man named Collier. HER MARRIAGES. Mr. Scovel said it was betieved that she was married secretly in St. Louis to Lieut. Tiffany, a son of Rey. Dr. Tiffany, of the Me- tropolitan Methodist churen of Washingion ety. She was also married to Lieut. D. W. Wallingford, of the regular army, who was dismissed from_ the service for conduct un- becoming an officer. In his sumining oe Mr. Scovel said there was scarcely a hotel pro- prietor in the west who had not a good fat I] against her, which he kept as a remem- brance, and on one occasion, when she pre- ter ded to have lost some baggage, and made a claim against the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St, Louis railway for damages in we sam of $5,000, a hotel proprietor was tele grspbed to at Columbus to know it she had taken her baggage from his place, b graphed back to the bagga, removed her baggage. at pay aldead beat and black-mailer, aud we Lave evidence enough to send her to —.” MR. TILDEN AND MRS. WALLINGFORD. ‘A Philadelphia correspoudent of the N. ¥. Times says: ‘Probably oue of Mrs. Walling: ford’s most amnsing escapades was with the late democratic candidate for the presidency, Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, at Cape May, in 1st5. Mra. Wallingford was there,aod was spoken of a8 a dashing and handsome young widow. She wore an altractive bathing suit, with knee breeches and Sree stockings. Her form was well displayed, and exciied considerable admiration among the gentle- men, among whom was the bachelor candi- date for Preside: t. The woman lost no op- portunity to ingratiate herself with Governor Tilden, and, it is believed, was the reciplent of numerous favors at his hands, causiog considerable talk. She also has a claim of $400,000 against the government, now pend- ing in the court of claims, for property said tohave been destroyed at Dalton, Ga., daring the war, which she says belonged to her. To back up this are letters from (ieneral Stead- man and others, which are genuine, bat as to how she obtained po-seasion of them is another matter. After hearing all the te: mony in the matter Justice Cassady d. missed the case. The evidence, which had been obtained fur the purpose of the expose, was furnished by Pinker ou’s agency here, Mr. Ber jamin Franklin managtug the affair. rs, Walliegiord Collier-Tifany is about or 40 years of age, a demi blonde, with blue eyes, fire Seure, and a glib tongue, with atruly southern accent. While agreeabie in her manners, the apes refinement, and baing illi'era.e, exposes her true characte: M+R LITILE CLAIM AGAINST THE GOy- KENMENT. Witb reference to the claim Mrs. Walling- ford endeavored to push through Congress, the following from THE EVENING Scak oi April lith throws some Ligh’ claims come before Congress. since the comm: reported adversely on the claim of Mrs. Aunie Wallingford, of Georgia, prayiwg sation for property appropriated by the Union army in the county of Murray, in te, durivg the war. Her first peti tion, introduced December 15, 1575, gave @ list ‘of the property whien she claimed was taken, consisting of household furaliure and live stock, aggregating €210,815 in value. Subsequently she presented another petition in the House, accompanied by a list of prop- erty aggregating in value #510,195. It does not appear for what reason the second peti- tion was presented, nor is the sudden and mysterious growth of the claim explained. To prove her loyalty she submits affidavits from Lieut. Moritz Von Eptreas Fuersteneck, of the 68th New York volunteers, and from another Union officer, Lieut. Basing, and several other persons of whose loyalty there is no evidence. To suppori her statement that her property was taken, aMilavits from Six oF seven persons are submitted. Tne committee take the view that there is no evi- dence of the claimant's ownership of the property except her own stalement; that the evidence as to the amount of property taken is vague and indefinite; and, finally, that the roof of the clatmant’s loyalty is insufficient. rs. Wallingford is again in Washington, with additional evidence as to the validity of her claim. It ts a singular coincidence tbat a@ person of thesame name, and hailing | trem the tame state, should have been ga- zetted in the west a few months ago as con- nected with certain unsavory scandals in which a young lieutenant In the army (for- merly a resident of this city) was conceraed, 8 well as a large number of others.” MES. WALLINGFORD CROSS EXAMINED. “Where were you born?’ was the first question of the cross-examining counsel in bi ladelpria. «Near Italy,on the high seas,on a vessel bound for America.” Farther questioning showed that her maid- en name was Whittemore. her father being a lanter in pense. a and that she never had mt_cne husband; that she had never been married to W. H. Tiffany, son of Rev. Dr. of Washington; she was jaainted ‘iffany, and was with him in Pailadel- Peo Jast summer, shortly prior to his being ied on the Pent ‘ia Railroad. On AccouNT oF TE STRIKes.—The Department of the Interior will readvertise for bids for coal for the fiscal year beginning July ist last, Mr. Bogus, of this city, who was the lowest bidder, having given notice that he cannot fnifill his" contract on aceount of the strikes in the Peansylvania coal regions. THEY ARE DISSATISFIED, BuT WILL Go West.—A private letter from an active republican in Ohio, received hera, saya there is much discontent in the republican ranks. Much of it comes office- publicans who think the President’s soathern policy a mistake. The writer thinks, how- ever, that West will be elected and a republi- can legislature secured.

The Pres!- dent shook hands wiih about ten thousand People in the rotunda of the state house, aud Was introduced to the mass outside from the portico, where addresses were delivered by the President and members of the Caviuet. THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. President Hayes, in his speecn, says: I thought that it Was not altogether proper ta meeting the peo; le that I should talk pli tics to them, Men of ali parties have met me, democrats, republicans aud independent republicans that are satisfied and repabil- cars tbat are dissalisted [applause and laughter}, and really [feel by the way that “inugh comes in” that there isa pretty large crowd here. [Lauguter.) But, at avy rate, We are here not to talk polities, and it does LOL seem proper to me twat one in my situa- Uon should argue as to measures he thivks proper topursue. What you waut io this country aan Executive Is one that shall execute. That I believe to be his duty, and all] want of my countrymen is that charita- ble Judgu-ent Ubat is proper to be given by men among men looking each other iu the Iace who believe that upon the whole the man they are louking in tue face, whether he is right Or Wrong after all, meaus to be right. [Cries of Good” and appiause.| It is not a good thing to ay of a man that his inten- tion are good, aud there is a proverb that that very bad place is payed with good inten- tens. (Laughter. And yetafter all, among this people the mun that has whe confidence of tbe people that he has good tutentions has guired something, and perbaps | had better ttop here and cali’ upon some others. [Cries ot: Go on.”| Well, then, there is only one thing, and that is up in New Hampshire as in Obio and every other siate, you desire this Union to be real union. [Amen.) Ualon ©: hearts, union of friends. You would wish to have the entire Union secure, not_ merely by force, but by all the affections of the peo ple in all parts of tue countr: {Applause.) Now, while we have had in the past distrust between sections, alienation, the hostility of bad blood, I believe, nevertheless, that with the cause removed the old harmony and con- cord may return [cries of * Good”); and I be- leve it will return. And I believe in adopt- ing measures that will make it return speed- ily. [Applause and cries of “Goed.”} ‘hen do Loi see bul that in the main we agree ae to the most } eedful thing to be done; and our only difference is upon measures by which we ure to accomplish that end; and this I must dt cline altogether todiscass (laughter), and so now jet mie introduce to you geatle n who are somewhat responsible for my iunders—and it isagreat pleasure to have mebody to lay ii on.

(Applause.} POSTMASTER GENERAL KEY SAID: It is true, as President has kindly said & few moments ago, that I was down in my own slate support.ng, to the best of my hum- ble ability, the election of another to ths Presidency of the United States, and sup- | ger that no man was more surprised than when bis a omeag asked ine to take a seat in his Cabinet. I supposed, my friends, and this I fel I ought to say, that suca a step might not hurt me a great deal, bat It might he rain to him. I nt poo the repub liean party of the north would say, what bas this President whom we have done so much to elect gone and taken Uthat ol! fellow wao bas been from his earliest infancy a demo. crat, and who tn later days was a rebel, and taken bim into his Cabinet for? I suppo my friends, and I am serious when I way it, tbat all through the north there would be a burst of indiguant disapproval, for it was cer- tainly unusual. | have been gratified to see hat iLe greater part of the nortu have ac- cepted that appointment of his in a far dif ferent feeling, and I have flt satisied from the beginning that it was an ex. pression of the sentiment of the ple Of the north that they were Ured of wis sectional spirit, and wished it to be forever buried. (Cries of “Good.” “That's so.”) Now, my friends, the men from these states assisted in esiablisbing our government and cur constitution, but soon afler we bad en- tered upon cur career of national greataess they entered into a controversy on the # ject of slavery. 1 propose mot to enter {ut toe reawons oi this controversy, but state to }ou now that it is unforiunate that it ever existed. It is fortunate it is ended. There gre men at the south, I regret to say, who bave lived on this controversy and are sorr: it ls ended. There are people at the sou! who are tired of it. They accept the consti- tution in good faith—ail the constitution, with the amendments, and are willing to stand by them, and die by them, if needs be. [Applause.} Weare a free people. The great chasm which bas separated north aud south has been closed forever, and no sla: = this —- of — = a: congratulation as mu People o' the soutbern as to the people of the north; and, my friends, let me ask you here, let me ask you everywhere, for use to sesk for quarrels, if quarrels we must have, else- where, and let these sectional issues be buried forever.

The latter won by one ma- jority, the vote standing 125 for Trankey to | 1:4 for Sheppard. William P. hell, of j a, was nominaied for Auditor Gen- eral. | . The platform adopted declares that the in- daction of Ratherford B. Hayes tnto the of- fice of President, notwithstanding the elee- tion of Samuel J. Tilden thereto, was a high crime against free government, which bas hot been condoned and will not be forgotten. | That theimmedia‘e happy effect of the appli- cation by the Federal Admicistration of the democratic policy of non- intervention in the intert al affairs of the southern states amply | Yindicates our frequent protests against pre- vious violations of the reserved right of the several states to exercise all power not dele- gated to the general government by express constitationa! provision.
