A lUnur, OKNTJ.EMAN, whose English will not bear publication, feels called upon to iprotext, in a ix-page epistle, against the practice of horse racing at county fairfi. If he could reconstruct human nature, and so fix it up that people would turn out and pay money to see big vegetables, One cereals nnd splendid mechanical products, he might reduce his theories to successful practice. But so long as a race between a blind mule and a lame jackass possesses greater popular .attractions than the best agricultural and •mvclianical show, the pious will have to put. up with a strong infusion of the equine element in county fairs, or not have the fairs at all.
Agricultural Colleges.^
The difiicnIty between the Trustees of "I'urdne University" and Mr. JOHNPUBDuqgcUewhere described, bids fair to prove the most serious act in the Indiana Agricultural College farce. Had Congress given the Agricultural College lands to be used for common school purposes, there would have been sense and proprie
ty in the donation, but there is no more sense in trying to build up agricultural colleges than there would be in an attempt to establish a carpenters' college, a coopers', blacksmiths', or bricklayers' college. When farmers' boys want a collegiate education, they have equal faciliUies with other boys in all our institutions •of learning. If they desire to make a specialty of those branches of learning *that will be most useful to them in the ^farming business—which is seldom the -case—there are plenty of colleges where election of studies is permitted.
It is to be hoped that Mr. PURDUE, •.whose vanity led him to make an offer of 'land and money, will be compelled to •JiiHillllis engagement, and that when the Hchool is established it will not be run in any spoci"l groove.
WUKRK moral certainty of guilt exists, and legal forms are too llimsy to hold the criminal, let him be acquitted, by all means—we are a law-abiding people— and be hanged three minutes after his release to the first lamp post. Charity begins at home.—Chicago Republican.
It has been the fortune of the writer of this paragraph to witness the hanging of live persons by mobs, in the manner indicated by the Rrpubiiean, except that three of the victims were hanged to limbs of trees, instead of lamp posts. In each case there was "a moral certainty of :guilt." Everyone believed that the men iiad been guilty of murder, or a worse crime. I'ut subsequent events proved four ut the five to be innocent of the crimes for which they severally suffered death. Three of them were shown to be honest, upright men, against whom the real murderers had plotted to excite suspicion, in order that they might escape. The Republican's suggestiou may do for Chicago, where a stood deal or promiscuous hanging might be done without risk of punishing innocence, but the rest of the world doesn't need it.
The Purdue University. The Indiauapolis Journal learns that the Trustees of Purdue University and Mr. Purdue are a^ a dead lock as regards .the location of the institution, and also .as to the style of building to be erected, .in consequence of which that gentleman declares the Trustees shall never touch a cent of the $100,000 he promised, nor will he give the land for college purposes as he agreed to do. The trouble arose this way: The Trustees went to Lafavetle to decide upon a location, and for that purpose inspected the land proposed to be given by Mr. Purdue, anil linaUv agreed upon a site. On making known'to Mr. Purdue tlie decision at which thev arrived, he said the building mnst go to vouie other spot, previously chosen by himself, or on his place not at all. And so with the plans for the building. After the Trustees had made their selection, Mr. Purdue said his previously adopted style must be chosen, or none at all.
Oovcrnor Baker, it is said, is about to take steps to institute suit against the gentleman to recover the money and land he agreed to donate to the University.

JUost of the "ancient Democratic doctrines and principles" had reference to slavery, and the various issues growing out of that "peculiar institution." Happily for us all, that once dearest idol of the Democratic heart has been dethroned, and yetwe'are solemnly assured that this is, pre-eminently, .lie time when those "ancient Democratic doctrines and principles should be adhered to." One of those "doctlines" was the divine right of property in man another was the constitutional right to take that properly into any territory of the United States and there hold it, nr.der protection of the national government another was that the negro had no lights that while men were bound to respect and several of" tho^e "doctrines and principles" were combined in the Fugitive Slave Law, under the operations of which the streets of our northern towns and cities were turned into hunting grounds for slave masters and fines and imprisonment were visited on those who gave a crust of bread or a cup of water to a fugitive from slavery. We allude to these mutters in no unkind spirit, and with no thought that honest and intelligent Democrats would dasire, if they cotild, to restore the
devilish barbarism that emancipation has eradicated from our constitution and government. But why talk of adhering to ancient doctrines and principles" when the facts on which those "doctrines" were founded, and out of which those "principles" grew, have ceased to exist. The last decade has wrought mighty changes in this country, and the political "doctrines" that were in vogue witk the Democracy of 'GO have no propriety of application now. As well "adhere," in manhood, to the clothes you wore in in
fancy, as try to fit the "ancient Democratic doctrines and principles" to the beneficently changed condition of affairs under which we now live. As well think of putting your grandfather's horse and saddle-bags in competition with a lightning express train, for a transcontinental journey, as to think of beating the progressive and aggressive Radical party with your "ancient Democratic doctrines and principles." NoAn's Ark was a good sea-going craft for the days of NOAH, but it would cut a sorry figure if contrasted with the products of modern marine architecture. The deluge is not more emphatically a thing of the past than are those facts out of which your "ancient doctrines" grew, and those conditions to which your "anc^enj^ principles" were adapted.
TEKRIKLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Many Persons Killed and Wounded.
A terrible railroad accident has happened in Tennessee, which would have been reported on Wednesday morning but for the suspension of press dispatches and newspapers occasioned by the celebration of the Fourth. A train on the Nashville & Northwestern Railroad, consisting of two coaches and a sleeping car, was precipitated through the bridge crossing Harpeth River, at 9-.30 Monday night. The locomotive, lender and baggage car passed over the bridge safely, but the two coaches and the sleeping car went through the bridge, and every person except three, in the sleeping car, was either killed or wounded. The total casualties were seventeen killed, and twenty-six wounded. The proportionate number of killed to the wounded is rather extraordinary. It is remarkable, however, that all on board were not instantly killed.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. The following is a list of the killed a* far as is known: John Marshall, of Nashville Judge Hornberger, of Clarksville Henry Howard, Mrs. Emma Yeatman, of Memphis Chas. Campbell, wife and child, and Mrs. Thomas Dunn, of Kingston Springs Mr. Pendergrast, White Bluff Alex. Wright, railroad agent, White Bluff J.M.Thompson, Amherst court house three men unknown.
Mr. Wright, of White Bluff, was taken out alive, and said, after being laid on the bank of the river, that he felt as well as could be expected, and only wanted a drink of water, which, immediately al't^r being taken, was thrown up from his stomach, together with large quantities of blood, and in a few minutes afterward he was dead. It is feared that others in the forward car were either drowned or killed.
Col. Thomas, as soon as hff reached the city with the dead and wounded, returned to the wreck to ascertain the particulars.
The following is a list of wounded as far as ascerUXined: W. W. Whee, brakeman, leg broken V. Ilaile, Point Isabel, Indiana, bruised Mite Heard/Trenton, gash in the hand J. W.

Riot at siejnionr—Murderous Assault on the Town Marshal. Special Telegram to the Commercial.]
SEYMOUR, IND., July 4.—During the celebration at this place to-day, the City Marshal attempted to arr^t a drunken man, when a general row ensued. William Harrison, Henry Harrison, Pat. Knott, Samuel Sayer, and two others, made a murderous assault on the Marshal, and beat him over the head with billiard cues and pistols. Some citizens interfered in behalf of the Marshal, and succeeded in arresting five of the party. One of the' parties shot at the Marshal and missed him, the ball hitting one of the assaulting party, named Samuel Sayler, in the bowels, inflicting a fatal wound.

At Grandville, near Grand Rapids, Michigan, early yesterday morning, a well known and wealthy farmer, aged about 60 years, named Oliver Cook, was shot and mortally wounded by a fellow named Henry Ward, who had just returned from a year's service in the State Penitentiary. Mr. Cook had just left the ball room of the Grandville Hotel, where he had been attending a dance, for the purpose of going home. When he reached the street, he met Ward, who, after a few words drew his revolver and discharged the contents of one barrel into Cook's neck. The effect of the bullet was to completely paralyze his limbs, aud he now lies in a critical condition.
A DESPERADO.
About" one week since, Edward Titcomb, residing at Maysville, DeKalb county, Missouri, while engaged in a violent controversy with hia father about some hay, drew a revolver and discharged the contents of three barrels into the abdomen of the old gentleman. He then seized an ax and struck his sister, who was standing near, a fearful blow, inflicting a dangerous wound. Neither will probably survive. Titcomb was at at once arretted and it was only by great efforts of the Sheriff that he was saved from lynching by the infnriated neighbors. sT.Voiiis/ -'V--

The leader of the daring party was Dr. Daniels) of Gilman, and he and his abettors claim that Meara could only have been convicted of manslaughter, and for that reason they were justij fied in putting the arch fiend beyond the reach of Mercy. Meara, previous to his death, denounced Masonry and readopted Catholicism.

Mr. Jay expressed the opinion that the AngloAmerican treaty would prevent wars hereafter, by the establishment of-an international court of arbitration. Beust in reply doubted the ability of any power to restrain the natural quarrelsomeness of mankind, and said hitherto mediation had only been tolerated and arbitration rejected. Beust expressed his sincere belief that the United States were friendly towards all powers, and concluded by drinking to the long life and prosperitj of the Great Republic. Speeches were made by other prominent personages, in all of which the most friendly sentiments were expressed.

THE WEATHER.
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER,
WASHINGTON, July 6,1 A. M. [Synopsis for the past 24 hours.] The Barometer has risen slightly since Tuesday night on the gulf coast, and somewhat more so from the Atlantic to the lower lakes. It is now falling north and west of Indiana. Temperature has risen slightly on the Middle and Eastern States. Light winds continue from the southwest and the southeast on the Atlantic coast, and fresh southwesterly winds from Iowa to New York, the weather has cleared away in New England, but remains partially partially cloudy on the coast. Local rains are reported this evening in North Carolina, and more extended rainy or threatening weather has advanced from the westward and Illinois and Wisconsin. Probabilities—It is probable that threatening weather with light and fresh southwesterly winds, will extend during Thursday eastward to Lake Ontario. Partially cloudy weather and southerly winds will probably prevail on the Atlantic coast. Disturbances merely local, and not considered.
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The acting Secretary of the Treasury: has directed that articles from Canada intended for the International and Industrial Exhibition of the Institute at Buffalo, to be opened on the 28th of September, and continue to October 4th, 1871, shall be entered and bonded for sixty days that at the close of the exhibition they may be returned to Canada without payment of duty.
THE PRESIDENT.
The President sends word that he will be here on the 11th to hold a Cabinet meeting. This will probably be the last one held prior to his new departu from Long Branch for the Pacific coast.

KU KLCX COMMITTEE.
The Ku KIux Investigating Committee to-day examined Judge Pettis and Col. Pugh, of Alabama. Their testimony was corroborative of the evidence previously given by Governor Lindsay and other conservative witnesses, that no such organization as the Ku Klux exists in Alabama, and that good order and respect for law prevails in that State. Col. Push, at the outbreak of the war was a member of Congress from Alabama, and was afterwards a member of the Confederate Congress from the same State. J. M. Justice, of Rutherford county, North Carolina, a prominent Native Republican member of the Legislature of that State, was examined at great length prior to the examination of Pettis and Pugh, and gave very direct testimony relating to affairs in his section. He testified that some five weeks ago, a party of 40 or 50 armed and disguised men came to his house, took him out of bed, and in the presence of his family beat him fearfully with clubs and pistols. They then carried him into the woods, threatening his life, made him promise not to come to Washington to testify before the committee concerning various outrages which had been perpetrated in that vicinity. They then left him, and he managed to get home, where he was confined to his bed for three weeks from the effect of severe internal injuries caused by the beating. Justice swore that he believed this and similar outrages were part of a regular system of political inlimidation, and were not merely neighborhood quarrels. He believed firmly in the existence of the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina.

NEW YORK, July 6.—General Fedreco Cavada, who succeeded General Jordan as commander-in-chief of the Cuban army, was captured by Spaniards a few days ago, and before this has been murdered. Correspondents say that the Cuban cause is growing weaker, in consequence of the unpatriotic dissensions of the leaders, but at the same time the Spanish troops are being fearfully deci mated by disease.
I A PROTEST.

DENIED.
As already telegraphed, Count Palikao has published a denial of Gen. Trochu's charges relative to the course pursued by the former on the 4th of September. Gen. Trochu in his three day's speech in the Assembly said, that when the news of the Sedan disaster arrived in Paris, Palikao said to him, "General, revolution is unfit to accomplish our purposes. If you don't take direction of affairs, it is all up with us. If you do, probably the result will be just the same." To this Trochu. replied, that his conduct was proper in all respects. Trochu, it will be recollected, also accused Palikao of acting unwisely in keeping Bazaine at Metz. and sending him reinforcements after he should have been recalled to Paris.
ELECTION IN MEXICO.
Telegraphic advices from the city of Mexico indicate, without^ clearly announcing the fact, that Benito Juirei has been elected President of the Republic of Mexico. Diaz Cores is second to Juarez in the vote, as far as heard from, and Lerdo De Fijado third.

CITY OF MEXICO, June 30, VIA HAVANA, July 6.—Trustworthy information received here is, that Juarez will have a majority over Lesdo and Diaz jointly, and that the choice of President will not devolve upon Congress. The Juarists will have a majority in Congress also.
PROSPECT OF REVOLUTION. It is not deemed likely now that any attempt will be made to inaugurate a revolution, but if an attempt is made there is confidence that a revolution begun weuld soon have an end.
FBAUDS AT THE ELECTION. All parties were guilty of violence and frauds at the elections, and the commission appointed by Congress has declared the elections in the Capital illegal. However, the people are very little concerned about the elections, politicians seem to be the only ones exercised about them.
