Rroitonn, VA.; April 27.-A lige orowd was ollee.tpd in t1x4 upper por. tion of the, Capitol building, this morpigg, where the Supreme Court of .Appoale is located, to hear the decis ion In tbo mayorality case of Ellyson vs. Cahoon. About l1 a. to., the. floor gave way beneath the dense weight, precipitating the crowd to the floor below, upon the conservative can cus then sitting in the ball of the House of Delegates. It is impossible to ascortain the extent of the injuries. at this hour. Among the killed are: P. H. Aylett, Esq , a distinguished lawyer of this city; Dr. J. 13. Brook, a reporter for tho Enquijrer and Ex. aminer; Sam. Eatou, Clerk of Mayor Cahoon; Cant. Wm. A. Charters, Chief of Fire Department; N. P. Howard, a lawyer; Ash. Levey, a ineobant; Chas. Watson, of the Dan. Ville Railroad ; Hugh Hutohiuson and towis N. Webb,. of this city ; Soho eld, brother of Gen. Schofeld ; it. B. Maury, Jr.; Senator Bland,. (col ored,) and Powhattan Roberts. It is supposed that twenty members of the State Legislature are killed and wounded. The Judges of the Court of Appeals all escaped unhurt. Ex. Governor Wells was badly injured ; L. H1. Chandler, counsel for Cahoon, on the mayorality case, was injured ; Jaines Meson and George Meredeth, council for Ellyson, were also badly hurt. About 200 hundred persons wore hurt by the accident. The great est excitement prevails; hundreds of persons are on the rapitol Square, weeping and wailing as the dead and dying are brought out of the building. Governor Walker escaped unhurt, though on the court room floor at the time. tichnond is famous for ter, rible aooidents. Among the principal may be mentioned the destruction of the thoatro-the site of which is now occupied by the.Monumcntal Church .in Doomber, 1811, when more than 100 persons lost their lives. The breaking down of a bridge leading to one of the islands in James River, last spring ; and the present disastrous event. The following additional .araons are among the killed.: Julius A. Hob. son, City Collector; S. Dugger, mem-, her of the House of Delegates; L. A. lirewis, commi.sion morohant, of Al exandria ; Sames A. Alainier, of Bor sin, P'russia; 8. E. Iurnham, Syra cuse, N4.

Direotly the disaster occurred, the gire alar;n was used to give notice, and the hlonk and Ladder Cornpanics of tha-cl-y repaired at once to the scene. A cordon of police was drawn around the building and the lidder. were thrown up to the window.. For three hours after that, the scene was full of horror. The wounded and dead were brought down en ladders and laid on the green in the public park, where it was instantly surrounded by 2,000 or 8,000 of those who had gathered to recognize the slain. The park was filled with anxious weeping men until 2 o'clock, when the last victim was drawn from the building. After this, the police closed the park, refusing entrance to any one, the bodies of the dead having been sent out. All the stores in the city were closed and placards placed on the doors-"Closed in consequence of the disaster at the Jt:cussoND, A pril 28.-To. day, all the houses of business have been clos ed, having erape on the doors, and the inscriptioni "Olosed in consequence of the calanlity at the Capital."

Obstruictiens to gaIafgration. Perhaps the measure that would contribute most to European immi. gratios to the -South, ia a repeal ol the present tariff, leading to direct Trade between Southern and Euro pean ports. To this unfortunately, the party in possession of the Federal Government is at present oppobed, tc the obstruction and destruction ol American shipping and commerce. But it I. at the same time, fortunate ly divided on this subject, the Con servatives, with whom we favor the South acting, favoring free trade, free production and free exchange. Next to free trade, the establish ment of cotton manufactories for spin ning end coarse oloths, is the most practical measure of immtgration. If it were not true that we have a margin of profit of five cents on each pound in our favor over all the world in this branch of manutaoturing, we would not urge it. But we have And it is far moro feasible to bring it remunerative manufacturing colonies, than scattering Agricultural laborers which is what our planters wish. In deed, get the population here, and they will furnish employment as well as laborers to our farmer., and voters on the side of better governmeant Now the only obstruotion to this plar of proceeding is our own apathy and indisposition to combine with others in business arrangements.- - Thi 1 r ih of niufaotur.ing busineis is far suer th .n'pfa.ting, and its profits come to those engaged in it quarterly at least, if not monthly. It would flourish more vigorously under a rev. enuo tariff, than under the obstrue, tive system protective of foreign ship ping and commerce now in vogue, but it can be commenced profitably imme. diately, and In Georgia at least, ii already a rayildly growing branch ol industry. In this matter, we obstruct ourselves. Time, howevrer, that cure. all thing., will ours us, before lung of Isolation from one another, and ol ohsequent ignorance, and of poverty the frult of isolation and ignorance. Ulair-way station te Rastieal The Abbeville . paper understands us to be "at the half-way station te Radicalism." If It will define what It means by Radicalism, a word very loosely used by some, maybe we have reachod it already, and are not aim ply on the road, As we understand the terms however, we are the only trute opponents of Radicalism in the theo State, because we are the only joaar. cal that has lost confidence complete. ly in the abWey! of the present emas. oulated Democratic organisation tc cheek partisan and unnational leglsla. tion, and are working earnestly for a new national Constitutional party thai can do so. And we believe If the whites of the South will support the adnlinistr,ation, they will gradually gain tihndgeo vvte, and Grant wil| join this new Conservative party, and be as good a Preaident 'fort the Souti as any we can get in 1872.

That old man was General Buchanan of Faisfield, and a wise tm"' be was io giving it. The people, when they come closely in contact with a man, so as to "like" hin, support him, on the ground of his practical character, muoh:more than on.that of his speou lative opinions. If he be every inob a man, a difference in 'speoulation, nay, a difference of even great praeti. cal importance nt tilmes, will not no cessarily prevent their advancing him to position. Hence Pettigrew could go to the Legislatare from Charles. ton, end Perry from Greenville, though neither in accord with much of the speculation and faith of their con+ stituents. We: prefer the present method of electing Congresnten by the majorities of separate Districts each having the choice of one man, beyond any that can be suggested, because of encouraging this voting for men, and not for parties, nor for speculative prinoiplcs, however appa. rently correct. The cumulative sys tem is liable to the objection that it will place a wire-pulling caucus be tween the votor and his onndidate, and increase the intnente of mere party and party eatob-words which.is already far too great. Send hone:t men to Congress, on the contrary, say we, and let them vote as they please. Under the head of "Republiorn par ty" or "Democratie party," what cor ruption now hidos itself, and even boasts of its services in corruptly per petuating a corrupt system I Cumu lative voting won't cure the evil. Honest msen way. tepresesstative Rerorma. Our Federal system should be re formed in Its representat ive system, in two particulars : first, each' Con. gressional District should vote direct ly for its owun elector of President and Vice-President ; and'- the power of judging of the fact of election of mnembers of Congress should be taken from Congress, and contesting candi dates left to prove their claims against the party holding the certifi. eate of election in the United States Districts Court.. If the twenty Con gressional Districts of a large State -stand nine for one party, and' eleven for another, this secnd -party, being able to carry a general State ticket for electors .of Presidee6 end Vioe President, can now .cast twenty,, n stead of eleven 'votes, and by this ar rangemeat several -President. hare been eleoted by a minority'; Lincoln, for example.

We admit, how' ever, that when corruption bigins to spread, the only way to stop, '1, tia~t we know ,of, is to istep 4~ if possible, and.at once.

Very well, then, gentleuien, there is but one course left, sincere inou who do not fancy your ideas of policy, any more than you do theirs.
