British Opinion of the Baltimore Nomination— ‘What the London Press Says of Greeley and Grant. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. iy Lonpon, July Li, 1872, The London Times of this morning, in an editorial article upon the nomination of Horace Greeley by the Democratic Convention at Baltimore for Preat- dent of the United States, says:—‘There never was exhibited a more flagrant instance of party de- moralization. The democrats swallowed their op- ponents’ platform and candidates, confessing that they had none of their own to present. President Grant, during four years, bas committed no irre- mediable blunder, and in saying this we give him but faint praise, Nobody believes that Mr. Greeley could be President of the United States four months without making some terrible mistake, The disere- tion, prudence and temper requisite fora proper performance of the functions of President of the United States are all wanting in Mr. Greeley. We cannot believe that the American people will elect, @ man who is so deficient in every magisterial quality.”” The London News calls attention to the fact that Mr. Greeley was nominated at Baltimore on the first ballot, and at Cincinnati on the sixth, and rea- sous from this that ‘the democrats are even more “enthusiastic in his support than the liberal repub- leans."’ “However,” says the London Newa, ‘‘what- ever may be the result of the Presidential election in America there will be no change in the relations of England with that country." The other London journals make no comments upon the American nomination.

A New Bridge Yields Beneath the Weight of the Cars. NAMES OF THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. Greensrier, Waite SuLenoR Liars al W. Va., July U, 1872, An appalling disaster occurred this morning on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, fourteen miles weat of the White Sulphur Springs, tn which six persons were killed outright and nine were wounded, three of the latter mortally. The news reached the Springs half an hour after it happened, and, in company with an engineer and two physi- cians, the HERALD correspondent set out on an extra train for the scene of the terrible catas- trophe, which was found to be at the second bridge over the Greenbrier River. Immediately preceding the bridge on the railroad 1s Harvey's Tunnel, 1,200 feet long. This morning a matertal train, consisting of a small engine, known as the David Anderson, and five small flats, loaded with crosstles and having on board some fifteen employés, emerged from the tunnel, going at the rate of four miles per hour, Stveadily it moved on to the bridge, which was 300 feet long and tifty-four feet high from the bed of the river, THE FATED TRAIN ADVANCED CAUTIOUSLY and was soon onthe bridge, between heaven and earth, The centre was reached in safety; in a mo- ment more it was passed, and now the train nearly covered the two last spans of the bridge. Just then a noise was heard and a few spectators ob- served the bridge to sink gradually for a second or two, when, horror! DOWN WENT TB STRUCTURE WITH A CRAST, the five flats with their living freight following and dragging the tender and engine after them, The noise {8 said to have been like the prolonged dis- charge of a park of artillery, and the whole train ‘was precipitated into the bed of the river. Nota living being escaped without injury. The poor engineer, with the instinct of self-preservation, jumped from the engine, but it was oniy a jump for death, The engine followed, and the driving wheel buried him in the bed of the river, At this time THY SPECTACLE WA3 NORRIPYING in the extreme. The yells and cries of the wounded, mingled with the screeching of escaping steam, the creaking of dismembered ‘timbers and the hissing of the waters, while the people on the river banks added to the din by their frantic cries. The wreck of the bridge and train were now a mass of broken timbers, twisted rails, smashed iron and the man- gled forms of the victims, THE FIRST ASSISTANCE RENDERED. Mr. Baird, the telegraph operator, who has his ofMice at this point in a car, was the first to rush to the rescue, Ife waded into the stream, and, regch- ing the engine first, found the engineer dead be- neath the driving wheel, with bis face badly scalded, probably after death. Baird was followed by others, and the fireman was then found, stiil allve, under the tender. He was the first extri- cated, Proceeding then to the flats, one by one the wounded were taken from the mass of débris and carried to the river bank, where they lay moaning piteously. . Next the removal of the dead followed, and in two hours the whole number on the train, the living and the dead, were lying slde by side, sur- rounded by negroes, who did everything they could to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded and care for the dead. Aid was immediately telegraphed for and it was a8 promptly on the spot. When your correspondent arrived upon the scene the wounded were being removed on hand cars and flats to Ron- cevert, three miles east of the bridge and about eleven miles beyond the White Sulphar Springs. The dead were also removed to this point later in the day. The following ts a LIST OF THE UASUALTIES. Whites. * J.C, Hill, engineer, of Hanover county, Virginia, killed, Parker Upshur, fireman, of Albemarle county, mortally wounded and probably since dead. A. M. Perkins, conductor, of Louisa county, Va., scalped, fracture of the skull and injury of the spine, mortally. Charles Myers, of Greenbrier county, jaw broken, head injured and hip broken. Negroes.

William Harris, spine, head and leg injured, Recapitulation, Six killed and nine wonded, three mortally. The engineer was a young man and a great fa- vorive on the road, He was engaged to be married, and his wedding was arranged for the 10th of Sep- tember next. When rescued his watch was found to be broken, and the hands were stopped at ex- actly seven minutes to eight- o'clock, thus record- ing the time of the disaster, the death of its owner and the hopeless destruction of itself, The fireman was only temporarily serving in the plage of the regular fireman, who had been on leave of absence for several days, and for the frat time made his appearance to-day just after the disaster occurred, His grief at the death of his friend is intense, and he feels terribly mortified that a life should have been sacrificed in the voluntary performance of his duty. THR BRIDGE is 300 feet long and fifty-four teet nigh, Itis a deck bridge, constructed by Clark & Rives, of Phila- deipuia, There are three masonry piers, and two abutments of the same material upon these piers, which are only twenty-two feet high, A shallow and rickety trestie work is erected, on the top of which the track is latd, The whole structure is only temporary, and was built so as to allow of the erection of an iron bridge on the same foundation. On Friday last it was completed by the contractors and turned over to the railroad company, and since then the same engine that to-day is a mass of mangled iron has been hauling iron ties and material for the construction of the road west over it. No later than yesterday the engine passed over the bridge with eleven large flats, heavily laden with tron ratis, with safety, and to-day, while passing over with only five car loads ot cross ties, two spans of the bridge gave way and caused this errible loss of life and destruction of property. It would seem from this. that THE CONTRACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE for this disaster, The oMicers of the road never doubted the firmness of the bridge, though they might have had it properly tested and inspected be- fore using it. It is due to them, however, to state that every attention possible was properly given to the wounded, and the Chief Engineer, H. D. Whit- comb, has given Inatructions to haye the dead de- cently interred and their friends notified at once of their melancholy and untimely end, It should be remembered that this catastrophe occurred west of the White Sulpher Springs, where the road is only temporarily used, only for con- struction purposes, and not on the road east of the White Sulphur Springs, Where there ls a reguiar | Passenger trafic, HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1872—WiITH SUPPLEMEN'.

New Haven, July 11, 1872. The day has been warm and sultry, and the in- terest of the people centred, as yesterday, in the college exercises, Notices were posted at noon about the street, announcing @ serenade to Gov ernor Brown, to take place at nine o'clock P. M., at the New Haven Hotel, and numbers of people came in from the surrounding villages to catch a glimpse of the possible future Vice President. INTERVIEW WITH EBX-GOVERNOR ENGLISH. Your correspondent this afternoon called upon ex-Governor English. That gentleman apologized for the lack of enthusiasm of the peo- ple of New Haven when the news was first received here of the nomination to the Vice Presidency of their distinguished guest, Governor Gratz Brown, and said that the shore notice of jis arrival and the earnest desire of Gov- ernor Brown ¢o be Left alone with his old classmates for one night was the reason why no demonstration was made. Governor English claims that Connecti- cut will give, at the lowest estimate, 5,000 majority to Greeley and Brown. The high moral wing of the republican party, very powertul in this State, would vote the ticket asa unit. Professors of the College and preachers of the city were strongly in favor of Mr. Greeley, while interior towns that had been strongly republican heretofore would give the ticket extremely large majorities, The opinion usually expressed was that President Grant had lowered the morale and dignity of the Presidential office, and that Mr. Greeley would reform tt altogether, and, by reason of his world-famed lonesty, prevent the possi- billity of disgraceful charges of nepotism. The alumni of the College gave a dinner this afternoon at Alumni Hall. There were about six hundred gentlemen present. Considerable enthu- siasm was manifested, and when, on several occa- sions, the name of Gratz Brown was mentioned, {t was received with great applause. Speeches were made by anumber of gentlemen, among whom Was the Governor of the State, who addressed tho assemblage briefly upon being tntroduced by the President of the College, Dr. Noah Porter. SPERCH OF GOVERNOR JRWE Governor Jewell, in his speech, stated that his gray hairs were a sufficient apology for addressing the alumni of Yale College. Connecticut, though a small State, both in population and extent of ter- ritory, when compared with her sister States, was a State in which education was justly prized. He con- gratulated the College, and particularly the scientific school, in their good fortune in raising the $500,000 they asked the people for to assist them in their good work. He also wished to apologize for ap- Dearing: before them so frequently in his official capacity, —T! all knew that he did not desire the office of Governor. (Applause.) He had endeavored to prevent his elec! Jone (eumanne and laughter) —and he had insisted that the people should not vote for him. bel slags! He concluded in a few witty and appro- priate remarks, and loud calls were then made for Gratz Brown. Mayor LEwis, of New Haven, followed the Gover- oh in a short address, paying the usuat tribute to rule, President Porrkr, of Yale College, next intro- duced Mr. Brown, who, he satd, to be definite, as there were several Browns present, he would call Gratz Brown. (Great applause.) SPEECH OF GRATZ BROWN TO THE ALUMNI. Governor BROWN said :— GENTLEMEN OF YALE CoLLEGE—I have to thank you most cordially for the kindness with which you have extended to me this greeting. I have always, as your President has said, cherished a warm Lao: for Yale, It is angraciousin me, from the valley of the Mississippi, to undertake, in the presence of 80 many gentlemen of greater educa- tion gathered here, to speak to you of Yale. But we are all proud of our Western country, the great centre from which we believe ‘will spring the brilliant future of America, and I can say, as I believe, that none have there been more potential in good and great works than the gradu- ates of Yale, I believe there 1s a great sentiment coming up in the West that ia different from any- thing here. [have been, as you know, a graduate of this college, permeated with its influences, and Ae inust re here are great ideas gaining ground in the West that are unknown here. As a gentle- man lately said—“What we want is more teaching and less learning; that young men coming here to New Haven shall not be put in the witness’ box, but shall be taught as the great masters of an- Uiquity were taught, in the portico and the academy. If Yale is to be the great centre of edu- cation of this country its plan will have to be changed ; and in the few words I shall say to you I shall endeavor to explain why. There must be greater interest and intercourse between pro- fessor and pupil, 30 that when a member of a class fails he shall not be simply jotted down as failing, but brought up and instructed how to succeed. In the old English system of education, upon which Yale is founded, there are, I know, some objection- able features; but I think Yale threw out not the most objectionable ones and had kept not the least objectionable ones, If you come to our Western country, to my own State of Missouri, I think I can prove to you that we have educational Institutions there which are not excelled in the world, It 13 of these I ask you to borrow the great progressive principles of education that bring the professor and pupil close together, and that con- tain the perfect germs of what must be the great school system of the future. Governor Brown neluded with @ touching ref- erence to his old professor and class, and the insti- tution to which be bad returned for the first time in twenty-five years. On retiring from the plat- form le was greeted with applause. GOVERNORS BROWN AND ENULISH TAKE A DRIVE. At half-past four o'clock ex-Governor English drove to the hotel where the Vice Presidential can- didate has been stopping and was soon after met by him. ‘tho two then entered the carriage and took a picasant drive about the city, visiting the harbor and ali points of interest. THE EVENING RKCEPTION—SPEECIE OF GOVERNOR BROWN. At seven o'elock this evening fifty guns were fired in honor of Gratz Brown, on the College Green, a large concourse of people crowding to the spot. Tuo firing of the cannon seemed to arouse the slambering enthusiasm of the citizens, for, an hour later, the hotels were filled with rited people, and Knots assembled at all the street corners and he nent places to discuss the prospects of he campaign, and to hear and express opinions in regard to the Baitimore nomination. At half-past eight o'clock several hundred D get | were as- sembled opposite the balcony of the New Haven Hotel, leaning against the railing of the College Green, and sitting inalong line upon the curt stone, At nine o'clock there were avout five thou- sand persons in the crowd. A brass band appeared at ten minutes past nine and began to play. At this time the parlor of the lotel was crowded, the following distinguished gentiemen bein; Creare among others, and who were introduce Governor Brown by ex-Governor English ;—Mayor Lewis, of New Haven; Senator Perkins, Colonel Kingsley, of Franklin; Rev. Dr. Ames, of Nor- wioh; Dr. Taylor, of New Milford; F, M. Waller, Colonel J. F. Babcock, and Major M. A. Osborne, Register of New Haven. Mayor Lewis stepped upon the balcony and introduced Governor Bb. Grata Brown, of Missouri, and the Vice Presidential can- didate was received with the most enthusiastic cheers. When Governor Brown spoke of the Buiti+ more Convention his voice was drowned by ap- plause, and the mention of the Piiladeiphia Conven- tion was received with a perfect storm of lisses. EFFECT OF GOVERNOR BROWN'S SPEECH. The parlor tn the rear of the balcony was crowded with ladies during the delivery of the speech. An enthusiasm as great a4 the indifference heretofore marked pervades the city to-night. Prominent pol- iticians promise a majority {n Connecticut for Greeley and Brown of 10,000, Others, Who doubt this, say that Governor Brown's speech has produced amarked effect, and that he has undoubtedly aiready increased the prospects of his ticket here. Curiously enough, it is claimed that his speech will render the democratic vote solid, while it will draw largely with the republicans, Governor Brown left his hotel for the eleven o’clock boat to New York, ina carriage with Gov- ernor English, iu half an hour aiter his speech was Anished, (Renewed laughter and NOMINATION NOTES.
