SPLENDID RECEPTION-HE IS HADE A KNIGHT
OF ST. PATRICK-POLITICAL 3IEETING IN LON?
DON-THE AT.ASTTX PCBCHASE.
DUBLIN, April 15-Evening.-The fleet bear?
ing the Itiaoe and Princess of Wales entered
the bay this forenoon. Their arrival waa an?
nounced by a royal salute from all the vessels
in the harbor. The fleet came to anchor off
Kingstown shortly before noon, and the Prince
and Princess landed. They were received by
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the Mar?
chioness of Abercorn, and conducted to a
special train of cars in readiness to convey
them to Dublin. The train proceeded slowly
to Dsblin; when it arrived at Westlandrow ter?
minus of the road, the Prince, Princess and at?
tendants alighted. A military guard of honor
under Major-General Conyngham, was drawn
np, forming a hollow square. The Mayor and
members of the corporation of Dablin advanc?
ed and presented an address of welcome to the
royal visitors. All then entered carriages, and
the procession was formed, which passed
through the principal streets of the city to the
castle. The streets, windows and housetops
along the route of the procession were densely
crowded with spectators, who, by their cheers
and cries, manifested the wildest enthusiasm.
. The buildings on the line of inarch were richly
decorated with flags, flowers and tapestry.
The weather was fine, and the display was a
complete success. The procession reached the
castle at two o'clock, when the Prince and
Princess of Wales were conducted to the State
apartments provided for their reception.
DUBLIN, April 16.-The Prince of Wales, ac?
companied by a large and brilliant party, con?
sisting of the gentlemen of bis suite, and many
of the principal officers of the Viceregal Gov?
ernment, took a special train for Kildare this
morning, where, at the invitation of the Kil?
dare Jockey Club, be visited the Curragh races
now in progress at Punchestown. At the race
course the Prince was received with great
cheering by the immense crowd assembled
there. After visiting places of interest in the
city of Kildare, his Boyal Highness and party
returned to this city, reaching the castle at a
late hour this evening.
DUBLIN, April 18.-The Prince of Wales was
installed Knight of St. Patrick to-day. The
procession attending the ceremony was two
miles long. The weather waa fine, and the
population turned out en masse. A dinner was
given this evening in honor of the event.
LONDON, April 16.-A great political mass
meeting of the Liberal party was held at St.
James' Hall to-night. Every available portion
of the hall was crowded to repletion. Resolves
were proposed declaring that the disendow
ment of all religious sects in Ireland is right,
and is imperatively demanded, and that the
Tories, in keeping office after the recent vote
of the House of Commons against them, vio?
late constitutional usage; and that they should j
give place to Mr. Gladstone and the leaders of
the majority in Parliament. The resolutions
were adopted by acclamation.
The Journal de St. Petersburg says the Em?
peror of Russia bas consented to delay until
May 1st the payment by the United States of
the strm stipulated in the treaty for the trans?
fer of Alaska. The Journal feels confident that
the American Congress will vote the necessary
appropriation.

Oar Washington Dispatches.
THE PRESIDEN T'S TRIAL-A DAX OF EXCITE HINT
-THE CHIEF JUSTICE OVERRULED-EXCLUSION
OF EMPORTANT TESTTAIONX.
WASHINGTON, April 18.-IN THE HOUSE, Col?
fax took the chair informally before the hour
of meeting, and, with such members as were
present, accompanied tho managers to the
court. The discussion was resumed on the
admission of the Cabinet proceedings, Wilso i
reading his speech, and Curtis following,
Chase decided that that the evidence was ad?
missible, and a vote being taken, it resulted
as follows:
Te.ts-Anthony, Bayard, Buckalew, Dickson,
Doolittle, Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Hender?
son, Hendricks, Johnson, McCrearv, Patter?
son, of Tennessee; Ross, Saulabury, Trumbull,
VanWinkle, Vickers and Willey-20. <
JVays-Cameron, Conness, Chandler, 'Cole,
Conking, Cattell, Corbett, Croghan, Drake,
Edmonds, Ferry, Freiinghuysen, Harlan,
Howard, Howe, Morgan, Morrill, of Maine;
Morrill, of Vermont; Patterson, of New Hamp?
shire; Pomeroy, Ramsay, sherman, Sprague,
Stewart, Thaver, Tipton, Williams, Wilson and
Tates-29.
The announcement of this vote was received
with a general rising in the Senate. After the
lapse of ten minutes counsel announced they
were ready to resume when sufficient quiet
was restored. Mr. Chase rapped for fully five
minutes before he succeeded in restoring order.
This is the first time during the trial that
these irregularities have occurred, and the im?
portance of the vote may be inferred there?
from. There was no applause or demonstra?
tion, ,but simply an arising from scats. Every
one seemed inclined to ask his neighbor what
he thought. This question involved the sup?
port of the President by the Cabinet in remov?
ing Stanton and appointing Thomas.
The next question was stated as follows: We
offer to prove that at the meetings of the Cabi?
net, Mr. Stanton being present, when the
Tenure-of-office bill came np for consideration,
the question was asked and the opinion ex?
pressed that Mr. Stanton and the other Cabi?
net officers appointed by Mr. Lincoln did not
come under its restrictions. Judge Chase
again decided the evidence admissible. Drake
appealed and the appeal was sustained by a
vote of 22 to 26. On this vote Sprague and
Sherman voted with the minority.
The next question was whether the Cabinet
apprehended injury to the sen ice by Stanton's
continuance. The Senate refused to hear the
evidence by a vote ot 19 to 30. On this vote
Willey voted with the majority. Welles waa
then subjected to a severe cross-examination,
but nothing new was elicited.
Postmaster-General James Randall waa ne\t
called. He said Blodgett was suspended from
the Augusta (Ga.) po9toffice without the know?
ledge of or consultation with the President.
Randall knew of no appointments of persons
in his department who could not take the te it
oath, and Blodgett was suspended because of
his indictment for getting office by perjury.
The defence then closed, reserving the right
to call other witnesses in case Stanbery, who
knew most of the matter, but was sick, thought
best. The court then adjourned.
Revenue receipts to-day $469,000; for th
week $2,320,000; for the year $150,000,000,
Evarts and Curtis have called on Stanbeiy,
i OOO. J
but the interview was deemed imprudent,
though it is hoped that Sranbery will be able
to speak, otherwise Groesbeck follows Evarts.
The President is cheerful, but the visitors hav e
?rot the impression that he has but little hope
of acquittal. The position of affairs has been
.widely canvassed to-day, but uo new light bas
been thrown on affairs.
The Georgia Election.
AUGUSTA, April 19.-The election commences
in Georgia to-morrow. The feeling is intense,
and the Democrats and Republicans are equally
confident. Reports from Columbus state that
frauds have been discovered in the registration
returns, and charges have been preferred
against Hulbert, the Chief of Registration in
in the State.
A large meeting was addressed here to-night
by Democratic speakers. General Meade has
taken ample precautions to preserve order dur?
ing the progress of elections, troops having been
sent to all important points for this purpose.
The heavy rains still continue.
Arrest of an Alabama Editor.
MONTGOMEBX, April 18.-Mr. Randolph, edi?
tor of the Tuscaloosa Monitor, lately had a dif?
ficulty with a negro in Tuscaloosa County, in
.which he cut the negro with a knife. Mr. Ran?
dolph learning that his arrest was ordered by
by the military, came to Montgomery last
night, and immediately reported to General
Sheperd. He was told to report this morning
at 10 o'clock, which he did promptly ; General
Sheperd informed Mr. R. that ha must be com?
mitted to a mihtary prison, without the benefit
of bail. He further remarked that in all cases
of mihtary arrest:, the parties would be com?
mitted to a mihtary prison, there to remain un?
til discharged by a military commission. He
was promised a speedy inves ligation.
The North. Carolina Elections.
WILMINGTON, April 18.-The campaign in
this State will be attended with unparall elled
excitement. Bot h parties are making desper?
ate efforts. Bushess will be almost suspend?
ed during the election, which commences on
Tuesday, th tho cities and large towns (he
negroes will vote the Radical ticket almost
en masse, while n the country districts con?
siderable numbers will remain away from the
polls. The vote will exceed that cast for the
convention que ?rion by at least 75,000, the
total registered voters being now nearly 200,
000. Holden will probably run considerably
behind the vote for the constitution. The
feeling between the white and black races is
more bitter than at any previous period.

ple of the State; also i call for a convention to

Prison, has been removed, and Burnam War
derell appointed to his place.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND THE RADICALS.
he New York Independent formally reads
Judge Chase out of the Radical party. It says ;
We now have reason to believe that Mr.
Chase would not accept the .Republican nomi?
nation for the Presidency, even if it were ten?
dered. We have equal reason to believe, also,
that he would accept the Democratic nomina?
tion, if it could be tendered on a platform not
inconsistent with his well-kuow;i viewa of ne?
gro suffrage.
Whereupon the New York Post (Republican)
remarks :
There must be something seriouslv wrong or
rotten in the Republican party, if it'is true, as
the Independeut so pointtdiv as.-erts. that a
statesman of as high principled and great
abilities as Mr. Chase is, stands readv to aban?
don it, and refuses even to le its "standard
bearer. The Independent fiiugs .Mr. Chase
away with quite a roya: air; but it will occur to
many, not Air. Chases special frier.ds, that a
party has need to be rich in statesmen which

The Phoenix says:
The election that closed on Thursday, if
tragical in its future, was comical in its exhi?
bitions of the ignorance of the black voters.
Men voted who knew no more than a horse of
what the thing meant. They were under per?
ltet discipline, however. This election has
caused some strange developments. It ap
pears that the League has bound its mem?
bers, bv solemn oaths, to vote as it might dic?
tate. Some affirmed that they could not join
their church unless they would swear to vote
according to the League. The fiercest threats
were usod to prevent negroes from voting
the Democratic ticket. Do this, and they
would be mobbed, hung, shot, ridden on a rail,
their head shaved; they would be reduced to
elaverv; they would again have to get passes,
&c, ?c. Iu'theFork, where Captain Beverly
Nash waa as powerful aa the King of Dahomey,
they obeyed ordere like goold soldiers. The
current threat there was, that if they did not
vote as Nash might tell them, their "chunk
would be outed." Thus the thing was done.
But let Nash, Thompson, Simons & Co., no
j tice, for all these things will the colored people
call them into judgment.
UNION.
The Unionville Times says: "lhere were
one thousand one hundred and ninety-nine
votes polled at Union Courthouse. It ia sup?
posed the vote here is nearly equally divided
between the Conservatives and the Radicals.
We have not been informed of the number of ?
votes polled at Gowdeysville and Santuc. The
inclement weather and swollen streams pre?
vented many from attending the polls, there
being only three precincts in the district. The
votes will be counted to-day."

YORK.
The Democratic majority at Yorkrille ia
about eighty. No other returns. The York
ville Enquirer says :
A number of colored votera who had been
members of the Union League at thia place
convinced that their welfare and future pros?
perity, and that of the State, depended, to a
large extent, upon the selection of intelligent
and trustworthy men to frame the lawa under
which we are to live, came up on Tuesday and
voted with the Conservatives.
The conduct of these colored votera ia the
more praiseworthy from the fact that a num?
ber of insolent colored men, of the oppoaite
party, hung about the polia during the day,
and endeavored, by threats and intimidation,
to prevent such persona, from voting Inde?
pendently.
We are' in possession of full returns of the
recent revised registration in thia district. Aa
remarkable aa it mar appear, there ia a tie be?
tween the whites and colored, each numbering
two thousand one hundred and thirty-three.

REMARKS.
The above returna are unsatisfactory be?
cause incomplete. They indicate clearly, how?
ever, that the State has gone Republican by a
large majority, and that thc whites in few of
the districts cculd stem (he tide. It is gene?
rally believed that Oconee and Pickens will
give Democratic majorities. Incomplete re?
turns from Abbeville indicate large Republican
majorities. A Democratic majority of forty
seven at Fort Mills, York District, is reported.
THE FEIOHTFCL DESASTER ox THE EBIE RUL
BOAD-FURTHER PARTICCLASS.-We have alrea?
dy had by telegraph a brief account of the
terrible railway accident which occurred last
Tuesday night near Port Jervia, on ; he Erie
Railroad. The number of lives lost is variously
estimated at from fifteen to more than twenty.
A dispatch to the New York papers gives the j
following additional particulars :
The train to which the accident occurred left
B?llalo in charge of conductor Judd, and con?
sisted of engine nnd tender, three sleeping,
two first-class and one &ccond-cia?s, two bag-I
gage and one postal car. 'The tram proceeded
on time, making tho usual stoppages, until
evening, when the passengers in the sleeping
cars retired for the night. About three oclock
A. M. Messrs. Ame* and Horton, wbo were in
charge of the postal car, saw thc bell rope
straighten out and break, when Mr. Judd im
media'ely remarked to one of the officers that
he had lost his rear cars. They ran to the
platform of the car, when the lour lear cars
were seen rolling down a precipice from seven?
ty-five to one hundred feet high. The scene of
ihe accident is thirteen miles beyond Port
rei-vis, on the Delaware division of the road.
The sides of the precipice aro formed on jag?
ged rock, and in tho descent the cars were
i broken to pieces. At the bottom id a culvert,
through which flowa a stream, emptying into
tho Delaware. The disaster was causea by a
broken rail, which threw the rear car immedi?
ately in front, and tho whole were precipitated
down the embankment. Conductor Judd and
Division Superintendent Douglass were slight?
ly injured. The cars in going over tho embank?
ment turned several times before the bottom
was reached, and were nearly demolished.
The sleeping cai* was consumed* by fire. The
passengers immediately began to rescue the
wounded and to remove thc bodies of the kill?
ed. Many ot the latter could not be recognized.
Seven persona were burned to death and sis
others were killed by coming in contact with
the jagged rocks, &c. The wounded persons
were placed on the train and brought to Port
Jervis, which place was reached at nine this
morning. Several surgeons were immediately
summoned and even thing was done to allevi?
ate t, e sufferings of 'the injured, nie bodies
of the killed were left on the ground, ihe
catastrophe ot course took place in the dark?
ness of the night, and the confusion and terror
were appalling, and tho horror was greatly in?
creased by the agonizing shrieks and groans
of the wounded and dying.
THE LANCASTER FIRE.-The peace of our
quiet little town was disturbed on Thursday
morning last about daybreak, bv the alarm of
fire, wntch proved to Ge the unoccupied resi?
dence of Mr. A. J. Kibler, on Main-street, oppo?
site the store o? Hasselt ine & Chafee. When
first discovered it had made such progress that
it was impossible lo check it. It rapidly spread
to the adjoining buildings, a storehouse and
the hotel of Mr. J. M. Crockett Through the
efforts of the freedmen, who displayed con?
spicuous gallantry on the occasion, tiie fire
was confined to the buildings above named.
The stores of Messrs. Heseltine & Chaffe and
Hickson & Sadler, on the opposit .-side of the
street, were several times on fire, but a con?
tinual stream of water from about one hundred
buckets used principally by the freedmen,
finally conquered the devouring dement in
this quarter_Lanaas'.er Ledger.
HoancTDE vs BARNWELL.-A man in the lower
part o; Barnwell District, about the Beaufort
line, named Youmans, killed another named
Williams, last week. Youmaus. it appears,
lost somo boss, a short time since, and being
of a superstitious nature, wailed upon a for?
tune-teller in the neighborhood, who informed
him th it this man, Williams, had stole them.
On the word ot thc fortune-teller, he set ou:
for Williams, and on mealing him told him that
his hogs were missing, and that he believed lie
(Wdlhuns), had stoic them. Perhaps tho lie
was given. The ch.irge was, however, a seri?
ous one, and so provoking that Williams knock?
ed him down, and as we arc informed gave
him a severe whipping. He got up and told
I Williams that be had whipped him, but that
j he still believed ho stole his hogs. Ho was
again whipped, but still believed Williams had
committed the theft. The accused sprang on
bim the third time, as wo arc informed, when
Youmans drew a knife and stabbed him, caus?
ing his death in a short while. Williams has
always borne a good character, andi? 6aid to be
a quiet, inoffensive num.-Barnwell Sentinel.

SMALL.-WILLIAM SMALL, second son of JOHN
and the lamented LOUISA SSL* LL, was born in Phila?
delphia, Pa., March 23d, HMO, and died in Au?
gusta, Ga. .April 5th, 1868.
The deceased was a great si uTerer, yet he bore bis
afflictions with commendable patience. He has
gone to that "bourne whence no traveller returns,"
and where the troubles and vexations that environ
us here never epter. WILLIAM possessed fine traits
of diameter, and if he erred it was from the head
not the heart. Generous, le was esteemed as a
friend. Affectionate in disposition, his demise has
thrown a cloud of melancholy over the hearts of
those who had watched and loved him from his ear?
liest days. Loved ones who 1 ad gone before (one of
them a noble youth who gave his life to his country
on a battlefield in Virginia) greeted WILLIAM on the
other shore, where he and ti cy await the coming of
the dear ones who still linger hi this vale of tears.
Let them so live that when they die it may be said
of them, too, "Blessed ore ti e dead who die in the
Lord." A FRIEND.

Citizens" in your paper as a candidate for the 3
or al ty. While profoundly grateful for the mc
which prompted the announcement and the corn
ment conveyed, I cannot but think that such nc
nations are premature and tend rather to divide t
unite our community. At a tim? like the prei
every personal consideration should be sacrifice
the necessity which is upon every lover of law, OJ
and constitutional government to unite as one i
in the effort to secure these gifts for our commun
and I would consider it indeed unfortunate v
love of office, or any other motive except the pu
good, to find a place in the mind of
one engaged in the struggle now before us. In
opinion, at a crisis like the present, no man has
right to withhold the use of his name or serv
when he is convinced that the public exigencies
quire both or either; and if at the proper time
fellow-citizens of aU classes, "NATIVE AND ADOPTS
should consider my name in connection with

of the principles for which we are contending, an
advance the true prosperity of our dry, I would
feel at liberty to withhold lt
In the meantime I hope that there will be nell

that when the lime comes for the selection of cai
