lluKHiiii.K It a i i.kuaii ArcihR.it.? Boston, March 14.? A tcrsible accident occurred this morning on t!ic Dodlinm branch of the Boston and 1'rovidcncc liailroal, between Forest Hill ami Itosliudalc, at what is known as Bnssey I'ark Bridge. Tins 7 o'clock train from I>edIiAiii, consisting of seven cars and a baggage oar, under tlic charge of Conductor Tildcn, broke through the bridge. The engine and throe cars want over refely, hut ttic five others fell through the bridge to the road baueath, n distaiico of thirty feet. The last car, which was the smoker, turned completely over and struck on top of the others, ull being crushed. It is stated that the bridge is compara'ively a new one, and that the accident was caused by a truck on one of the cars giving away, causing the cor to sii ike against no abutment of the bridge. The smoking car, after it fell, caught fits, but the tiro department was promptly on band an I prevented any spread af the tlames. The bodies ,,f the dead have nil been removed. Some of the wounded arc at llio boantiil v..im? 11 ivi' Iiiuhi litmin sii tllJlt it is wry <liflicult to uncertain their names and tlio extent of their injuries at the present lime. The train was crowded with working people, ami the iu?st intense excitement prevails among their friend*, who are anxious to learn the names of those killed and injured. The engineer, when the engine hroko from the train, kept riglil on to Forest llill and gave the alarm, instead cd' slopping to ascertain the extent <>f the acei lent, and 011 that account it was imposfihlo to get assistance at once. uoKiioits or rtit: ii knk. At a late hour in the day, as the work of removing the wreck wns progressing, additional evidences were found of the terrible nature ( of the disaster. In some places wcro fragments of flesh or pieces of clothing which had belongol to some victim whose remains had been previously removed to the morgue. There was blood over everything, scarcely a splinter being removed 'hat was not stained with the blood of the vic'itns. Most of the pieces of clothing found were garments of women, the number of whom <>n the train was much larger than that of the men, .and H.e fatality among litem wa? proportionately greater. In one place the bodies of seven wotneu were taken out tn a row, all horribly mangled, Ono woman was cut completely in two, tlio upper half of her body only being found. A pathetic eight was that id' two girls, with nrtns around one another, clinging topether in th? embrace of death Hot It bad been killed bv blows upon the head. In many instances nvoa and crowbars were necessary in order to free persons who were pinioned in the wreck In two cases it wns necessary Ik cut hvi of the bodies in order to get tlietn nit.

The defendant in each of tlic.se cases was ' represented by Mnj. I). A. To.vnscnd and I. (?, | MoKissick, nn I who managed their ^iflts with consummate skill. Fowler was acquitted, as reported last week. In the case of Ike Morman, colored, f?r nrsiui, those who hoard the trial accent to the counsel for the defense, the highest praise for the skillful and stubborn light they made for their client. The crime was committed in one of the wealthiest and most intelligent neighborhoods of this county, and neither time nor investigation was spared to find the guilty pnrty. It is natural and eminently proper at all times that the perpetrator of every such heinous crime should be found and tnado to sulfur the severest puuisluncnt of the law, au l the prosecutors in this case did only what was their houtiden duty to themselves and fel!ow-citizons, in biingingthc suspected speedily to the bar of justice, and by every thruthful means convict him.

Worso than Slavery We find the following in the AVir.s- </?</ Comer, and repuhlish it for the special information of thope fortunate colored people who were so disappointed last Saturday night because iio Agent was mi the cars to provide them with tickets for the promised land of Arkansas. Kolliii tells a pitiable story ef the treatment and condition of the deceived emigrants who have lately left comfortable homes an ! kind friends here and followed strangers to a strange land. His story has the stamp of truth upon it, impressed by the fact that 'he had walked MiQ miles' to gel away from the sufferings and ill-treatment to which the deluded emigrants are subject from the brutes who decoyed them from their old friends. The report of one who has been there and suffered the tortures iutlictcd, should have more weight with those who coalemplatc going than a dozen letters from those who are there. fY.vtn ili.? v#i*v fl?.?f ifi ninotv.niiic r:i?rn out of a liuti<lrc<l, those letters nrc written by, or under ilic dictation of, the very scoundrels who enticed the negro** to jfo titer*, und lire vitally interested in not only kcejdug those already there, but are anxious t? got as many more into llieir clutches us possible. l?ut let r.ollin tell the story : Ill.t.i.vioN, March II.?Jim Kollin, another returning negro emigrant from Arkansas, passed here a few days since. His talo of illtreatment and sutlering is terrible, lie ?ays that the mgr. p- are chased with bloodhounds, and whipped in Aikausas worse than tliey were in South t'artlina in slavery, lie had walked Mitt miles on his return trip, lie says that the niujmity i\ho go out there will never return. In ttio fu?t place, they will never get money suttieioiit to get hack on, besides they are not allowed to leave if they want to.

Me also hel l notes amounting to about S'Jim ngaiust two responsible white people, besides one or two bales of cotton and some other personal property. The amount of bis estate will be over S1,000. A few days before his death Martin sent for Mr. W. S. Gregory and requested hint to write his Will. Martin has left one child, a daughter, an 1 his Will provides that a tract of laud >1. d! he purchased as a home for her and her children and their lawful Icscrmlants, so that it may always be a home for his descendants. Martin owned no land, but for years bail been ntenant upon the late 1?. J!.

On Tuesday last, during the Session of the Court of Common l'leas, Mr. Johnson introduced the above Resolutions, which were seconded by Mr. Win. Miniro, who eloquently portray cd the high character atul pure life of Col. ltiou. (Wo regret that we nro unable to give our readers Mr. Muuro's remarks, but hope to do so hereafter.)At tiie conclusion of Mr. Muuro's remarks, Col. I. ti. Mclvitsick, although quite unwell, rose, ninl addressing the Court, said : Col. James 11. Rion was no ordinary man; wo shall never behold his like again; and if he sprang not from Royal blood, lie mado himself royal. The high and mighty Napelcon, the first Umper>r of France, never sprang from rojnl blood, but, like our lamented friend, he made himself royal. In the lives of these c:nineat moil, we see much similarity. Roth carved their way from humbleness to distinction and renown. Napoleon in his tenth year entered a military school at Rricuuc, in France, as lb? Kinj'x petitioner, and ho so improved the op| ortunities nlForde l, that lie bec.tiie himself King of Franco. * The King's poor pension boy in a few, brief year*, crowned die first Kmporer of France! Some wealthy young gentleman of the South Carolina College, impressed *vitli his manliness and eharactcr, bade little J innate Rton, in liia 141U year, enter thei* college, lie entered, and over his benefactors an 1 all others, carried away the first honors of his Institution. Thus, by his energy an 1 indomitable will, like Napoleon, lie carved his way from humbleness to an exalted position in his Alma .Mater, and subsequently obtained from another Institution the great distinction of l<. !< D. Well might Dr. Wood row, Col. Uion's chosen livirio to otficiaie at tits ituicral, have printed toe young men of the ?b C. College to Uion as a sample, to show what could he gained in die field of letters and in evcy department of life, hy his will, energy and perseverance. Who dare say that Col. jarr.es 11.

And who will not admit that he was </ led'lrr in this witi//i/y yi mph de licate 1 to law and justice. The g'iwii of the learned Judge was readily turned aside to listen to the .superior legal learning of Col. Uion. Col. Uion never forgot past fivors. 11o wrote and read to the speaker, some years since, a letter to the Trus'ccs of the .-outli Carolina College, giving them auuuaily .a certain sum of mouej to defray the expenses ot some poor, deservingyoung man through t'/liege. On being aske 1 what the letter meant, 110 replied, "1 sim only paying an oi l <lei?t 1 owe -doubtless referring to lise money titi: piil his way through college. i ho icmnrks of .Mr. I>;ivi 1 Johnson, Jr., are also omitted at this time, he\i ise of the press ef business in Court preventing .1 proper revision for publication.

In the defence it was different, he had to make the best of a tveal; side, but even then his candor was conspicuous. Ilia learning outside of his profession was varied und accurate.

Pkkumtio* ok a Panic.?Waal'" i March 1).? It is probable that the last <" . oss will hare much to answer for in its i i ur to reducs the surplus by cutting do.ru ta t taxation. If a high government ollicial's judgment is to be trusted, the country is now upon the eve of a financial panic, sure to bo brought about by the arbitrary withdrawal of currency through needless taxation, and the locking up of this money in tho Treasury. This government official said to-day in prirtte conversation: "There will be a financial stringency very soon, which, in my judgment, will lead to a panic. The constant accumulation of money in the Treasury without any form of relief possible after the first of the fiscal year is certain to ' tie tollowe 1 oy a crasn. n may uc iriv i ut?[ o next Fall, but in my judgment the event is not ovor two months away.'' Is there uo way of av >i ling this possible event?" "No. The pinch is now being foil. If Congress were to be assembled to-morrow, the crash would come before they could get through wrangling over a measure of reliof. The failure of tho deficiency bill also adds to tho complications of the present financial situation. In that bill there was an appropriation to pay for the printing of the issue of the silver certificates, in amounts of one and two dollar notes. That gave a reserve power of relief to a diminishing circulation, which will soon he cut oil' altogether. Whether this financial stringency can ho headed otf until next Fall will depend very much upon whom the President places at the head of the Treasury." Mr. Manning is retiring in good time. He has ha I comparatively sunny wca'.lier, and is to ho congratula( ted upou his escape from ths coining storm indicated by this black surplus cloud. This gontlcman is not an nlarmi?t. Ho is a serious, grave man of affairs, who understands tho financial situation thoroughly. He is cotu. pelled to study the signs of the times, if for no other reason than his own private interests, which are largo. ' If all the bonds now subject to call, nmouul' ing in round numbers to $ 10,000,000, are paid , off I y the first of next .July, then the Treasury will, through the forced collection of existing taxes, lock up in the Treasury, and, consequently, withdraw from circulation, from ?0,I 000,000 to $8,000,000 a month, It will not take any business man long to estimate the results I lint must surely follow such an arbitrary and abrupt contraction of 1 the currency. The Cleveland administration is ? at tlie most critical period in its history. A t financial panic would mean hard times, and while Congress would come in for its share of ' tho burden of the responsibility, yet the admin1 istration would also ho blamed. The President t could not avoid centurc in not using the full evf?nt of his <?reat official rower to have forced (he Democratic Douse to pass some measure of * relief. The President does not to-day comprehend tho serious financial situation to its fullest . extent, but helms learned something of it in j his canvass for a Secretary of the Treasury. Undoubtedly Speaker Carlisle refused to ' consider taking the Treasury owing to hit cloar knowledge of tho financial situation ami the possibilities of tho future. In an interview printed in last Monday's World he predicted a severe financial stringency no later than next - Fall. If the World correspondent could give the s natno of the government official who believes c that tho financial stringency will come this Spring, there would he uo doubt in the ininds of any one that the situation must he grave indecn to warrant so positive a sensational state5 mcnt from one, who, in financial matters, goes to the very extrcmo of conservatism. ? -Vcw 1 'rrk World. r _ The Iltu Deai, Off.?New Voiik, March 11. 1 ?The negotiation between CarrotL and the Richmond Terminal Company has fallen through, and the deal is off. A new proposition is now being considered by Carroll, anl d negotiations are now on foot for the transfer of 1 the control of the Baltimore and Ohio to a syndicate of private bankers.
