The accident which occurred yes
terday morning on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and the miraculous es
cape ot the numerous passengers, fur
nishes a lively topio ot' conversation
this morning. A coal train ol empty
cars going west broke an axle be
tween Sandy Hook and Weaverton,
Stations a low miles east of Harpers
Ferry; before notico could be given
another coal train ran into the disa
bled one and knocked a number ot
the cars onto the paralcl track just at
the moment the Cincinnati express
due here at 7 a. m., and crowvded with
passengers, came tearing along, and
dashing into the obstruction on the
track the engine and six cats were
thrown dowu a steep embankment in
to the canal, which runs paralel and
quite near to the track at this point.
The engineer was killed and one or
two passengers were slightly wound
ed, all the rest making a most nuiao
ulous escape,
J. wo (Jhineso gentlemen ot high
rank and duly accrudited to this gov-.
eminent, are now in the city. While
walking or driving about the city,
making their inspections of objects of
interest they attract much attention.
Our young men of nautical procliv
ities expect rare sport ana a good
time generally in entertaining the two
British boat club crews who have ac
cepted the invitation extended them
dv me com crew oi tnis city to visit
them. "
The Baltimore Garette published a
tew days since two very interesting
letters trom its special corresponqnts
in Ohio and Indiana showing the state
of the cauvass in those two States.
Although )ihe Democrats can afford to
lose both Ohio and Indiana and, still
win by carrying in addition to ..the
Southern States, New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut whioh are
nearly certain yet success in inaiana
would place a Dctnocratio victory be
yorid a peradventurei A Republican
defeat in Indiana would be disastrous
to tho hopes ot Haves and Wheeler.
The prospects of the Demooiacy In
Indiana are very lavorauie. liie ive
publicans have made a series ot bin n
ders. They nominated a swindler tor
Governor, Orth by name, and after
trying in vain to force him on the
people by the whip ot party discipline,
at last were obliged to withdraw him
and substitute a cold, aristocrat
io gentleman named Harrison, who
has not tho least hold upon tne sym
pathies and affections ct the people.
Harrison will not net anything but
tho straight-out Republican vote, and
if he gets all that he will be lucky;
but that is not onough. On the other
hand, old Bluejeans Williams, tho
Democratic candidate, has the same
kind of popularity that carried old
Zach Taylor and Abe Lincoln on such
a high wave. His homespun dress, bis
plain talk, his rough humor, and his
record in Congress, all make him very
streng bofore tho people. .Besides
this, the Democratic campaign organ
ization is very eff-oient, and they are
working like beavers so their Re
publican adversaries say. The Hayes
people are sending piteous appeals to
the East! for money for campaign pur
poses. They sav that the National
Committee is sending a pitiful supply
of the sinews ot war, whilo Lnclo
Samuel is sending barrels of dollars
and knocking the heads in. This of
course is not true, tut it shows the
Republican panic in what they call
the pivotal State. It must not bo lor
golten that Mr. Hendricks has a very
large personal following in Indiana,
and his popularity works hand in hand
with old Bluejeans, and however large
may be the majority for Bluejeans in
October, that of Tilden and Hen
dricks will be larger in November.
In Ohio the election will be moro
closely contested, and there the Re
publicans feel much stronger, but they
are by no means confident. 1 lie J Jem
ocratic partv is stronger- than ever,
and is working most harmoniously
The German vote will not be "con
trolled" by Schurz, and the bulk of it
will go for lilden. I he last guber
natorial election in Ohio gave the Re
publicans a very slender majority, and
thbt party has weakened considerably
since then. The heavy load of Grant-
ism has weighed it down, and Hayes
is now compelled to take that burden
up on his shoulders. Hayes cut loose
from Grant would probably carry bis
own State; bat saddled m he u with
the crimes of the administration he
will probably lose it. Tilden can af
ford to lose Ohio; Hayes cannot

From the Financial and Commercial Chronicle.
The reputations of our citizens arc
the property of the State. And when
a character has stood the test of three
score years, every individual has a
personal interest in it, r:cLiog far be
yond the passing political excitements
of the day. , Un deep regrnt, there
lore, one sees a growinj disposition,
evefi among somo ot our moro con-
servative newspapers,, to accept and
give currency to dolaulations ot chap
actor, simply because, the persons at
tacked happen 1 3 be cadidates for a
high office. The form of tho charges
seems to bo something like this :
"You swore falsely to 18G2," or " Yoir
stole in 1803;" "Now prove you did
not, or stand convicted of perjury or
theft." This is rather a summary
modo of changiug tho burden of proof,
and putting a man on tho defensive.
It may require weeks for him to look
up or recall the tacts which mmicnced
his nets so long ago ; but in the mean
time,. n8 slander travels fast, tho
charges made- are echoed by the press
ot tho whole land, and the wrong
done csu nover bo wiped ou If pub
lio opinion permits this, we shall soon
find very few honest men willing to
allow their names' to bo placod beforo
the people for office.
As an tnstanco ot the evil wo com
plain ot, take tho chargo, which we
are called upon to believe, that Gov.
myes during tho war stole ciuu left
with him. by an executed soldier. ,The
facts assumed are (1) that such a sol
dier wad executed ; (2) that ho was
seen to give the money to Gov.
Hayes; (3) that Gov.' II. has not ac
counted for it. Ot course, therefore,
Gov. Hayes is a thief. Rather a start
ing conclusion to a man who has by
a life freo from reproach earned a good
nnmo. 1 et if newspaper trial is to bo
indulged in and accepted during the
excitements of a political canvass,
there seems to be no way to avoid
such violent warfare, bolter suited to
tho Sioux districts than the intelli
gent, cultured communities where the
slanders originate
Uut our mam design in rcturrmg to
this subject was to speak of Gov. Til-
don s income tax lor lou'J, which in
some quarters has beoomo a very in
teresting and momeutous subject. We
all necessarily fool a pride in Gover
nor 1 ildcn s reputatiou. JN 0 man has
stood higher, and deservedly so.
Were wo not in tho midst of an unu
sual political excitomctit,Buoh a chargo
could not be repeated without being
indignantly repelled by every man ol
character in our midst. Yet now wo
see tho Blander assumed as proved,
and boldly stated by newspapers ond
speakers everywhere, although the
lads show that there cover was a more
baseless charge made.
What are tho facts? It sooms that
in December, 18G3, Gov. Tilden, like
nil tho rct ot us, made a return under
oath ot his income lor tho year lbbz
That income return showed that he
received iu 18G2, subject to taxation
under the law, a little over seven
thousand dollars. In a emit now
pending on behalf ot the St. Louis,
Alton and Terre Haute Railroan, the
Governor swore that ho received in
18G2 twenty thousand dollars for per
vices which were "oommencud prior
to tho year 1809, and wcro rendered
Irom time to time during a period 01
three years." These are simple facts,
and the whole of them, and on them
tho chargo is mado ot perjury, assum
ing or jumping over entirely the ono
further premise necessary for a con
clusionthat is. whether, under the
law, the twenty thousand dollars re
coived from tho railroad should bo in
eluded in the return. Assuming, wo
say, that the twenty thousand dollars
8UOUlu ce ineiuueu, wimu tut: msuw
lions of Internal Revenue COmmis
sioncr Lewis, issued at that time, state
clearly and positively that it should
not bo included. For tho benefit of
those who may have forgotten theso
instructions, we insert tho following
extract taken from them, as published
in our Jlanfs MercluxnC MwjuziM
for August, 18G3, page 139 :
A merchant's return of ineomo
should cover tho business of tho year
1HG2, excluding previous years. Un
collected accounts riustbo estimated.
Physicians and lawyers should include
actit il receipts lor services rendered iu
lhG2, together with an estimate on un
realized or contingent income due to
that year.
Here we have it positively stated
that the "actual receipts for services
rendered in 1SG2, excluding previous
years,
," with an estimate ol "uncol-
lected accounts or "unrealized in
come" from the business or services
of 18G2. are tho items to be included.
i
This samo id -a was enforced in the
Commissioner's subsequent mstruo
tiocs of that vt-ar, and more minutely
to revenue collectors. In tact, the
Commissioner made this so clear that
no one had a doubt as to its meaning;
to all of- us, m preparing our re
turns ot income
from our business
included what we had earned, and not
whit ws had collected, in 18G2; if
Gov. Tilden perjured himself in mak
ing his return in that way, every hon
est man in the country did the same,
Our city newspapers concurred in this
view, as may be acen from their re
marks publUhed at that time in fur
ther explanation of what the Commio
sioner said,
Now, turning to th's $20,000 item
we find the answer states that it was
received ia 12, but for strvicea
rhich were "commenced prior to
year 1859," and were "rondored trora
time to time during a period of three
years." In other words, according to
this statement, no portion of the
amount was carnod in 18G2, but all o
it duriug the years years 1859, 18G0,
and 18G1. Could anything be clear
er, thereforo, than that tho amount in
question was not to be included? And
yet wo find some of our host newspa
pers and speakers concluding on theso
facts, and boldlv stating that Gover
nor Tilden is guilty of perjury 1

cd campaign document. It cuts from
under the feet of the Radical parly
tho only ground that party pretends
nn v longer to have for its existence as
parly.
One of the four specific instances ol
disorder relied upon by Senator Bout
well in his support of tho allegation
that "force, fraud and intimidation
wero used generally and successfully
in the political canvass of 1875 in Mis
sissippi," was tho Friar's Point riot
on the Uth ot Uctober. In the evi-
lenec of Governor Ames beforo the
Boulwell Conmitteo, be charges Sen
ator Aleorn with being "personally
present and responsible lor theso oc
currences." Mr. Alcorn had been
elected Governor of tho State by Rad
ical votes and was afterward elected
to the United States Senato by tho
Radical Legisture. Now, in Senator
Aloom's testimony beforo the Com
mitteo ho acknowledged that behead
ed a party of whites and negroes who
wero defending tho town ot friars
Point from the attack of a large body
of armed negroes, who had threatened
to sack and burn that town. ; ihis
force was led by one John Brown, the
negro sheriff. ;Allhougli copious tes
tiiuony was tal'eu by tho committee as
to this matter, ,110 allusion is made to
it in Senator Boutwell's majority Re
port, except in tho general wa of
wholesale accusation. 1 rom this one
st'.iry the country may judge them ill
. 1 ho character ot tho testimony
trJfen by the lioutwell t-ommif.eo
m iy be imagined from the statement
of Mr. Bayard that tho white people
wero debarred, by tho arbitrary ruling
of the majority, from being present
even by their representatives whilst
tho testimony was taking. Indeed, he
goes further and says :
Every ruin which tin enporinnca of man'
kind has vhiuIiHIihiI as essuntiul fur tlierx?
ul.Uion ot evidence uud tilt) nscerluiniilHUt of
truth has been disregarded in tho course of

as would not he rocnived in any Court of

folon of the petty uet offense. Kvery rule of

litix been thrown aside, and opinion, hearsay,
wild rumor, anything unit all thinirs which
excitement, prejiidicfl, hale, lovo or fear can
surest, have Ueeii poured iu without dis
crimination or check.
Senator Boutwell did not allude to
the case ot Cardozo, a colored citizen,
and ex-Superintendent of Public In,
struction for Mississippi. Cardozo
lid not appear beforo the Committee,
M-rhaps because he is now absent trom
tho State, under indictment for for
gery and other crimes. Canlozo's trial
was set to como on during the session
of the Committee, but ho failed to nn-
sw e-r to his name when called, and hi
leavy bond, his securities being prom
inent Radicals of Mississippi, was de
clared forfeited. This caso ot the "in
timidation of a colored voter" is not
included ntnong Senator Boutwell s
