lloKHt ltLK RAILROAD ACCIDKST.? Boston, < March 14.?A terrible accident occurred this ' moruing on the Dedham branch of the Boston and Providence Railroad, between Forest Hill ] and Koslindalc, at what is known as Busssy Park Bridge. The 7 o'clock train from Ded- ' ham, consisting of seven cars and a baggage oar, under the charge of Conductor TUuon, broke through the bridge. The engine and three oars went over eefely, but the five others fell through the bridge to the road beneath, a distance of thirty feet. The last car, which was the smoker, turned completely over and struck on top of the others, all being orushed. It is stated that the bridge is comparatively a new one, and that the aocident was caused by a truck on one of the cars giving away, causing 1 the car to strike ngainst an abutment of the 1 bridge. The smoking car, after it fell, caught | fits, but the tire department was promptly on i hand and prevented any spread sf the flames, t The bodies of the dead have all been re moved. Some of the wounded are at the hoe- < pital, and some have been taken home, ao that j it is very difficult to ascertain their names and < the extent of their iiguries at the present time, j The train was crowded with working people, and the most intense excitement prevails among their friends, who are anxious to learn the names of those killed and injured. The engineor, when the engino broke from the train, kept right on to Forest Hill and gave the alarm, instead of stopping to ascertain ' the extent of the accident, and on that account it was impossible to get assistance at onoe. UORROHS or TUB SCRNF. 1 At a late hour in the day, as the work of removing the wreck was progressing, additional cvidencos were found of the terrible nature ' of the disaster. In some places were fragments 1 of flesh or pieces of clothing which had belongc I to some victim whose remains had been previously removed to the morgue. There was j blood over everything, scarcely a splinter being 1 removed that was not stained with the blood of 1 the victims. Most of the pieces of clothing found were garments of women, the number of whom on the train was much larger than that oi tne men, una the fatality among them was , proportionately greater. In one place the bodies of seven women were taken oat tn a row, all horribly mangled. One woman was cut complotely in two, the upper half of hor body only being found. A pathetic sight was that of two girls, with arms around one another, clinging together in the embrace of death. Both had been killed by blows upon tho head. In many instances axes and crowbars were necessary in order to free persons who wore 1 pinioned in the wreck. In two cases it was 1 necessary to cut two of the bodies in order to i get them cut. They were already crushed out of any semblance to human shape and wero so tightly wedged in, that they could be removed in no other way, One old lady was taken from a car uninjured, hut with her clothing torn to shreds and presenting a generally forlorn appearance. She said that the women in her cur seemed to ho panic-stricken. At the moment the crush came they all screamed and shouted, praying for release. She saw one woman dying in a seat while another woman 1 had her head pillowed on the dying woman's brcrst. The headless trunk of a woman was ] found among the tangled iron and cars a few feet away. A man was run through and through by splinters from tho bottom of the car.

Allow to Bounce.?Wc have noticed time And again, complaints made through the Netct and Courier againstSandy Keitt, formerly of this place, and now a deputy under United States Marshal Doykin. Keitt, during the days of Radicalism, was a pliant tool of the worst men in that party, and during the memorable campaigns of 1876 and 1878 was a firebrand among the ignorant negroes of this county, and caiuc near precipitating a riot on our streets between the whites and blacks during the election of one of those years. Marshal lloykin is woll aware of all the facts, and yet, strange to say, keeps Keitt in position. Is this his ,idea of civil service reform ? If so, he had better look up the law on the subject. The fact that this blatant Radical bully of 1876 is holding an office under a Democratic official in South Carolina is a standing reproach to that official and he should lose no time in cleansing his skirts by dismissing this objectionable partisan. If Mr. Uoykin wants the full facts in Keitt's cose they will be oheerfully furnished by our people, who know him and ms posi recoru wen, anu, aner gelling mem, lloykin ohould either turn the rascal out or gel out himself, as the retention in office of such a notorious charucter as Keitt is conclusive proof that Mr. Boykin is not the proper man to fill so important an office as he holds under a Democratic Administration.? Orangeburg Timet and Democrat. Hknews Hkk Youth.?Mrs. Phoebe Chesley, Peterson, Clay Co., Iowa, tells the following remarkable story, the truth of which is vouched for by the residents of the town : 'I am 73 years old, have been troubled wilh kidney complaint and lameness for many years, could not dress myself withoul help. Now I am free from all pain and soreness, and am able to do all rny own housework. I owe my thanks to Klectric Bitters for having renewed my youth, and removed completely all disease and pain.'

Oliphant is acting conductor, and fills his position with last, ease, and grace. S6y We are pleased to learn that Dr. J. T. Hill, of whom we spoke last week as graduating with so much distinction, from the Charleston Medical College, has been appointed to an important position in tho Charleston Hospital. The appointment is conclusive evidence of the confidence and esteem which tho Faculty of the Collage reposes in his ability and character. The evening services in the Presbyterian Church have been changed to five o'clock in the afternoon, to which all are cordially invited. Tho Sunday Sobool meets at 4* o' clock. The Pastor has organized a Bible Class in connection with the Sunday School, and will be glad to have all who feel so disposed to meet with the class and take a part in it. ? We are gratified to learn that the Lodge of the S. and D. ef Temperance is flour isbiog. At every meeting four, fivo or six new members are initiated, and among them are some of the best men and ladies in the town. One featuro of the organization is, that while it inculcates strict temperance, its laws forbid the discussion of or alliance with municipal or general politics, in the Lodge, or [>u*side, at a Lodge. Every member is left to act in accordance with the dictates of his own conscience, in political matters. i?%_Ye Local left very suddenly last Saturday night on the freight trait), and for some diya his whereabouts was a matter of conjecture. Madam Huiftor located (?) him all the way between the two great cities?Gaffncy and New fork. At first an elopement wae suggested, but as no Indy, af any age, was misting, that dea was abandoned, and thus the town was eft in awful suspense, which continued until Wednesday noon, when he appeared on our freets as suddenly as he had left. Me, howver, don't seem inclined te satisfy the curious nind by telling all (lie placet he has been to, ut he soys "GafTney City is a daisy town," nd if he did not pass the State line, which we uspect, the loadstone was in ihe "daisy town.' ' le proposes to "everlastingly go for that town' j ext week. I y 'ourt ProceedingsThe Court of Sessions was closed Thursday. A L'ho most important oases tried in that Court sras the Slate vt Qoorge NY. Fowler, white, for tesault and battery with intent to kill, and the State vt Iko Moorman, for arson, in burning f Mr. Crosby's gin house. D The defendant in each of these oases was 8 represented by Maj. D. A. Tovrnsend and I. 0, i MoKissick, and who managed their c consummate skill. Fowler was acquitted^ as re- ? ported last week. In the case of Ike Morman, colored, for ar- * son, those who heard the trial accord to the * counsel for the defense, the highest praise for t the skillful and stubborn fight they made for their elient. The crime was committed hj one of the wealthiest and most intelligent neighbor- ' hcods of this county, and neither timo nor in- f cstigation was spared to find the guilty party. ? It is natural and eminently proper at all times t that the perpolrator of every suoh heinous 1 crime should bo found and made to suffer the c severest punishment of the law, and tho prose- c cutors in this case did only what was their ( beunden duty to themselves and fellow-citiiens, * in bringing the suspected speedily to the bar of * justice, and by every thruthfVil means convict j mm. wi an Tinning, inu inoeauianry is tm? worst. Solictor Duncan, with all his ability, did his full duty in this case, but be ?*met foemen worthy of bis steell," in Messrs Townsend and MoKissick, although Col. McKissick was too ( unwell to take his usually active part in such j cases. < Tho effort of Maj. Townsand before the Jjury is universally conceded to have been the finest that has been delivered at this bar for many years, and created a profound impression upon all who heard it. Exhaustive in argument, * profound in logic and eloquent in appeal, it ' stamped Maj. Townsend as one of the most ' effective Jury Baristers in the State. 1 Notwithstanding the great effort made to save Moorman, the jury found him guilty, but ' recommended liim to tho mercy of the Court, ' and tho Judge sentenced him to ten years in tho penitentiary ot hard labor. The Court of Common l'leas adjourned at noon on Wednesday. Worse than Slavery. We find the following in tho Neva and Courier, and republish it for the special information of tlioso fortunate colored people who were so disappointed last Saturday night because no Agent was on tho cars to provide (Knm wtth for tliA nrmniiAi! land of Arkansas. Kolliii tells a pitiable story of the treatment and condition of the deceived emigrants who hate lately left comfortable homes and kind friends here and followed strangers to a strange land. His story has the stamp of truth upon it, impressed by the fact (bat 'ho had walked 800 miles' to get nway from the sufferings and ill-treatment to which the deluded emigrants are subject from tho brutes who decoyed them from their old friends. The report of one who has been there and suffered the tortures inflicted, should have more weight with those who eoalemplutc going than a dozen letters from those who are there, from the very fact that, in ninety.niue cases outpf a hundred, those letter^ arc written by, or under the dictation of, the very scoundrels who enticed the negreeu to go tUorip, and are vitally interested in not only keeping those already there, but are anxious te get as many more into their clutches as possible. Dut let Rollin tell the story : Ellrnto.n, March 11.?Jim Rollin, another returning negro emigrant from Arkansas, passed here a few days since. His tale of illirentmcnt and suffering is terrible, lie says that the negroes arc chased with bloodhounds, and whipped in Arkansas worse than they were in South Carolina in slavery. He had walked 800 miles on his return trip. He says that the majority who go out there will never return. In tho first place, they will never get money sufficient to get back on, besides they are not allowed to leave if they want to. A Well-to-do Negro a. co oreu inuu naiucu munin uicu in Cross Keys township last neck, and after his death (he round sum of $7>3t> was found concealed in his bed. ile also held notes amounting to about $'200 against two responsible white people, besides one or two bales of cotton and some other personal property. The amount of his estate will be over $1,000. A few days before his death Martin sent for Mr. W. S. Gregory and requested him to write his Will. Martin has left oue child, a daughter, and his Will provides that a tract of land shall be purchased as a home for her and her children and their lawful descendants, so that it may always be a home for his descendants. Mnrtin owned no land, but for years had been a tenant upon the late I>. 11. Sheldon's land. He was an industrious, frugal and honest man, and the property lie accumulated is but one of the many evidences we could point to, even in this county, of what the colored people could do for themselves in this State, if they would be contented, live piudently, be honest and industrious. There is no real reason why every colored tenant in Union County cannot in a few years, own, in fee simple, comfortable home, if they will work diligently, act honestly, lire soberly and not allow emigrant agents to make them dsconlented with their lot and du pe them by lying stories of what they could do in the Western States. It will be gratifying to the numerous friends of that eminent Jurist, Hon. Judge Monro, to learn that notwithstanding his extreme nge?8'J years?he is enjoying remarkably good health. His intellectual faculties are as bright and aclive.as we everkuew them, aad while, as a natural consequence, the weight of many years of An active, useful life, has taken from hitn the elastic step, his physical faculties are otherwise inn fine state of preservation, (lis memory is as vivid as ever, and it is truly a pleasure to sit and listen to his graphic und highly interesting descpriptions of soenes and incidents which transpired many years gone by, long before and during the times when he adorned the Henoh of the State. Truly may it oe nam 01 nun mm, aimoni mono, lie remains ft bright and solid link, of the bench and the bar, to connect the old and the new State of South Carolina. Ml ?#?

On Tuesday last, during the Session of the Court of Common Pleas, Mr. Johnson introJuccd the above Resolutions, which were seconded by Mr. Wm.

(We regret that we are unable to give our readers Mr. Munro's remarks, but hope to do so hereafter.) < as ih- m- ? *? nw mo vuuuiuoiuu ui iur. niuiuu s rcmnrKi, Col. I. Q. McKUsiok, although quite unwell, rose, and addressing the Court, said : Col. James II. Rion was no ordinary man; we shall never behold his like again; and if he sprang not from Royal blood, ho made himself royal. The high and mighty Napoleon, the first Empertr of France, never sprang from royal blood, but, like our lamented friend, he made himself royal. In the lives of these eminent nion, we see much similarity. Both carved their way from humbleness to distinction and renown. Napoleon in his tenth year entered a military school at Urieunc, in France, as the Kitty's pensioner, and bo so improved the opportunities afforded, that he became himself King of France. ~'"JL The King's poor pension boy in a few, brief years, crowned the first Etnporer of France 1 Some wealthy young gentleman of the South Carolina College, impressed with his manliness and obarsctor, bade little Jimmio Rion, in his 14th year, enter their college. lie entered, and over his benefactors and all others, carried away the first honors of his Institution. Thus, by his energy and indomitable will, like Napoleon, he carved his way from humbloness to an exalted position in bis Alma .Mater, aud subsequently obtnincd from another Institution the great distinction of L.

Who daro say that Col. James II. Rion was not a King?a leader in every department?a leader iu college, a leader in letters, a leader aa a soldier, his gallautry in battle, being seen and complimented by that great hero and soldier, Jefferson Davis. Col, Uion was a leader in the redemption of his State from misrule and degredalion. And who will not admit that he was a leader in this mighty Temple dedicated to law and justice. The gown of the learned Judge was readily tnrned aside to listen to the superior legal learning of Col. Kion. Col. Ition never forgot past favors. He wrote and read to the speaker, aoiae years since, a letter to the Trustees of the South Carolina College, giving them anuu&lly a certain sum of money to defray the expenses of soino poor, deserving young man through College. On being asked what tlio letter meant, ho replied, "1 am only paying aa old debt 1 owe"-doublless referring to the money tint ptid his way through college. lho remarks of iMr. David Johnson, Jr., are also omitted at this time, because of the press ef business in Court preveotiug a proper revision for publicatiou. Judge A. 1*. Aldrich's Remarks: My Jlrothert of the liar.?This is a very aad occasion to ma. Col. Kiuu merited all you have (aid of liiin. lie eras one of inj most intimate, cherished and confidential friends. I did not know him until his earl/ manhood, nf;er became to the Bar. From then until he died, our relations grew mere and more close, until the/ ripened into lasting and firm confidence. lie was as true and faithful a worker as 1 erer knew, as conscientious as he was true, and as generous as he was faithful. A braver man never drew the breath of life, a kinder hoart never beat iu huuiau bosom. As a Lawyer, lie was one of the most eminent in the State, splendidly equipped, with habits of business and a system of order that was almost perfect, there was no reason why he should not attaia the highost honors of his profession. He was not an orator and did not cultivate the oroate style of speaking ami actio n; but possessed the earnest, persuasive eloquence cf a man who felt he was advooating the truth, with the inexorable logic of the advocate, satisfied that his argument Would convince the unprejudiced,mind, (lit was the eloquence of argument, lie never, knowingly, dealt in sophistry?his mind was too honest for that, lie believed every word ho said and earnestly sought to carry that conviction to the oooscionccs of the Jury, or the judgment of the Court. 'As a practitioner, he was liberal and generous, despised triok and sharp prac ioe. If his adversary made a mistake in p'.eading, he not only willingly allowed him to correct it, but frequently drew his sttlention to the error.' 'Ilia legal training wao so perfect and resources^ great, that he could always readily oollate the authorities on any question under discuslion, and he generously aided his Brotheren, especially his juniors, in their preparation. I do not think any Lawyer, not even Mr. r#til J .1 " I ;reV, oom mended tbe attention of the Court nort perfectly than Col. Rion. N*r do 1 think my Lawyer in the Stale was more instructive 0 the Brnch and Bar. He did not display his earning ostealatiously, but the fruits of his abor were always at hand and . dispensed ?/ith 1 prodigality that greatly assisted both Judge tad Jury, in arriving at a correct oonolusion. [f Col. Rion ever advanced a lo^al proposition hat was a fallacy it was not to mislead, but lecsuse he believed it to be trne and supported >y authority. Of course, he was not always right, but I venture to say, he made fewer mistakes than any member of the Bar in South Carolina. His honest mind end severe eon- 1 icience, would not permit him to brings suit bat he did not believe was founded on justice >r, at least, that the chances of success were iqual. In tho defenoe it was different", he had o make the best of a weak side, but even then lis candor was conspicuous. His learning outside of his profession was raried and accurate. His miscellaneous library was almost oomplete as his splendid law aellection, and to this, in his hours of recrealion, from three in tbe afternoon until bed-time, lie dovoteJ his roccss from toil, investigating lome scientific, historic, or literary sutject, bringing to hie aid the help of scienoeand art. Aea soldier, Col. Rion was a perfect chivalier, as strict in the onforoement of discipline as he was perfect in the knowledge of taotios. To this ha joined kindness, courtesy and strict attention to the comfort and health of his command. He had the deserved reputation of being one of tho best skirmish officers in the army and, 1 am sure, he had no superior as a vigilant, active and cautious leader. He set such an example of cool courage and gallantry to his men, that they never faik'd to follow when he led. On his person he bore tho honor>kl - # - - buiu scam ui inumui uervice. I cannot cross the threshold of hie delightful home. Thtro was elegance, comfort and refinement. Those who enjoyed the privilege of his hospitality, will always remember, with pleasure, what a genial family oirole was there assembled. I can only mourn with them, that the head of that house is silent in the grave. The State has lost a noble citixen, the Bar an accomplished Jurist, his County on earnest worker, his intimate associates a loyal friend. Rest in peace, brave heart; it will not be long before we meet again. When Judge Aid rich concluded, he announced that, the Court would stand adjourned until the next day, in respeot for the memory of the deceased brother, Col. Jas. II. Rion. A Hew Department.

Mri Schieldberger ran to the child's bed, and b; the light of her lamp saw a hideous lookini worm, resembling a thousand-legged worm coming out of the ohild's ear. The old lad, was so fearful that the worm would draw bad again that she seized a pair of scissors and cu it in two.

March 9.?It is probable I bat the laat C.>/.oss will hare muob to aoswer for in ite faiiucj to redaos the surplus by catting down tart.T taxation. 4 If a high government official's judgment is to be trusted, the country is now upon the ere of a financial panic, sure to be brought about by (he arbitrary withdrawal of currency through needless taxation, and the looking np of this money in the Treasnry. This govern' ment offioial said to-day in private conversation: "There will be a financial stringency very soon, which, in my judgment, will lead to a panio. The constant accumulation of money in the Treasury without any form of relief possible after the first of the fiscal year is certain to be followed by a crash, it may be tidod over to next Fall, but in my judgment the event is not over two months away." ''Is there no way of avoiding this possible Tent?" "No. The pineh is now boing fell. If Congress were to bo assembled to-morrow, the orash would oome before they oould get through wrangling over a measure of relief. The failure of the deficiency bill also adds to the complications of the present financial situation. Ia that bill there was an appropriation to pay for the printing of the issue ef the silvor certificates, in amounts of ono and two dollar notes. That gave a reserve power of relief to a diminishing ciroulalion, which will soon be out off altogether. Whether this financial stringency can be headed eff until next Fall will depend very tnuoh upon whom the President places at the head of the Treasury." Mr. Manning is retiring in good time. He has had comparatively sunny weather, and is to be congratulated upon his escape from the coming storm indicated by this black surplus cloud. This gentleman is not an alarmist. He is a serious, grave man of affairs, who understands the finaooial situation thoroughly. lie is oompeiled to study the signs of the times, if for no othsr reason than his own private interests, which are large. If all the bonds now subjeot to call, amounting in round numbers to $40,000,000, are paid off by the first of next July, then the Treasury will, through the forced collection of existing taxes, lock op in the Treasury, and, - consequently, withdraw from circulation, from $$,000,000 to $8,000,000 a month, -It will not take any business man long to , estimate the results that must surely follow such an arbitrary and abrupt contraction ?f the currency. The Cleveland administration is at the most oritioal period in its history. A financial panto would mean hard times, and while Congress would eome in for its share ibf the burden of the responsibility, yet the administration would also bo blamod. The President nntilri ant >Tnid nanaurn in nnt n*incr the full extant of hie great official power to hare forced the DeraocratFo House to pass some measure of relief. The President does not to-day comprehend the serious finanoiel situation to its fullest extent, but he has learned something of it in his canvass for a Secretary of tho Treasury. Undoubtedly Speaker Carlisle refused to ooasider taking the Treasury owing to his dear knowledge of the, financial situation and the possibilities of the future. In an interview printed in last Monday's World he predicted a severe finanoial stringency no later than next ' Fall. If the World correspondent oould give the i name of tho government official who believes , that the finanoial stringency will come this Spring, there would be no doubt in the minds of any one that the situation must bo grave indeen to warrant so positive a sensational statel ment from one, who, in finanoial matters, goes to the very extreme of conservatism.?New Yrrk World. , Tiib Bia Deal Orr.?New York, March 11. | ?The negotiation between Qarrett and tho Richmond Terminal Company has fallen through, and the deal is off. A new proposition iB now being considered by Qarrett, and I negotiations are now on foot for the transfer of I the control of the Baltimore and Ohio to a syndicate of private bankers. Tho arrangement for tho purohase of the control of the Baltimore and Ohio Road by a private syndicate, in which President Qarrett will have an interost, contemplates placing the p stock in collateral trust for a new company and issuing bonds secured by this trust to tlio ' amount of $10,000,000. These bonds are to be 1 taken as part payment of the stock. The new company will issue $50,000,000 in stock, and , noiaers 01 outstanding iiautmore ana unio stock will receive three shares of new stock for one share of old. The new stock will be - listed on the New York Stock Exohauge on tho e present basis of earnings, and will receive , dividends at the rate of six per oent. per annum. The express business, parlor cars and telegraph lines will be sold at the best oppor8 tunity, but until that is done will be operated - as heretofore.
