EMPEBOE WILLIAM proposes to vicit the Czar. ,...' f.

IT ISN'T the' fault of the' Christian re ligion, but a sad commentary on public morality, that the anniversary of Christ's birth should be signalized as a sort of carnaval of crime.

THE people of Hamilton, Ohio, have eliminated TOM MCGKEHAN from that community. They do not seem impressed with profound respect for the verdict of the jury which pronounced him "not guilty."

WE ARE in receipt of several communications from as many different candi dates for nominations on the Republican State ticket asking the advocacy of their personal claims. This we cannot do. A number of good men are candidates for •each office, any one of whom being nominated can be consistently supported'by Republicans.

THE inaugural address of Governor Newton BOOTH has been received. It is :a clear, logical, and elegant State paperThe Governor departed from the usual style of merely dUciwxing party politics, and devoted his whole attention to local matters and topic* affecting his State, His address is highly commended by the press of California, and such ol the Stales East an it has reached.

WE ASIC the earnest attention of the voters of Harrison township—including the city of Terre Haute—to the carefully prepared statement of the Directors and Slock holders of the Southwestern Bail road, which appears in another columnThis is a subject of such importance that no voter can afford to neglect the full and authentic information which the docu ment in question affords.

THE Louisville ''Commercial" an« nonnces, by authority, that Solicitor General BHISTOW has resigned and will return immediately to that city for the purpose of resuming the practice of his profession. The "Commercial" announces that Gen. B. has been prompted to this course solely by considerations of professional and private interests.

LATER.—The resignation of this valuable official is withdrawn, as shown by a dispatch elsewhere printed*:

Now that the old frame structure, oc upied as a Soldiers' Home, at Knights•town, has been destroyed by fire, it is a iproper time to consider the proprety of tlie permanent removal of all itB late inmates to the United States Asylum at Dayton. While all will readily admit that the disabled survivors of the Union armies must be kindly cared for, few will question the position that it is the duty and privilege of the United States, rather than of individual SLates, to extend the care and protection required. These veterans are the nation's wards. Congress long ago recognized this relation, and made ample provision for their maintenance.

The Soldiers' Orphan Asylum, at Knightstown, a noble edifice, still stands, and is doing a good work which we would have continued aa long as a necessity for it may exist. But we believe thai humanity and good policy alike -forbid the rebuilding and continued maintenance of a Stale Soldiers' Home.

A LITTLE more than a monl^j, ago REVERDY JOHNSON presided at" a meeting iheld in Baltimore to protest against the •declaration of martial law in South Carolina. In his speech, and that of the •other gentlemen present, it was emphatically denied that there was such an organization as KuKlux in existence, that the horrible crimes imputed to it had •ever occurred, and that there was any mecessity for national interference. Now read the following extract taken from a verbatim report of his address to the jury in the case of the Uniled Slates vs.

ROBERT HAYES MITCHELL, the charge against the prisoner being intimidation •of voters and conspiracy to murder: '"Neither my distinguished friend, Mr. STANBERY, nor mTselt, are here to defend or justify or palliate any outrages that may have beea perpetrated in your •State by the assoc&ijAn of KuKlux. I 'hare listened with horror Is^ome of the 'testimony which has been Jaqfqre .von. The outrages .pto^ed jijtM# bee^ •shocking to humanity they admit neither of justification nor excuse they vio 'late every obligation which law and nature impose upon men. These men apipear to have been alike insensible to the unbl.igaiions of humanity and religion, but ihe-Hav will come, however, if it has not already arrived, when they may deeply lament it. Even if justice should not overtake them, there is another tribunal from which there is no escape. It is their own conscience, that tribunal which •sits in the breast of every living man, and •that still small voice that thrills through the heart, and as it speaks gives happiness or torture—the voice of conscience— the voice of God. And if it has not already spoken to them in tones which have aked them up to the enormity of their conduct, I trust in the mercy of heaven that a voice will speak before they shall be called to the dread tribunal to account for their transactions in this world."

PRECIPITATING INTO THE STREAM, Two locomotives, their tenders, and also a baggage and caboose car, a distance of

first locomotive, E D. Judd, was instantly killed by being buried beneath his engine, while the fireman escaped unharmed. The engineer of the second locomotive, on the other hand, escaped, while his fireman, Robert Rolston, was killed. The brakeman, at his post between the baggage and passenger coaches, J. W. Bartlett, was also killed. The baggageman and a section hand had legs broken. A gentleman by the name of Towne had three ribs fractured, while a few others were variously bruised. Fortunately the passenger coach was stopped just in time to prevent its plunging into the river, thus saving the inmates Mr. Towne, with his broken bones, hobbled up, and the baggagemaster drew him to the upper end of the car, which stood on a steeply inclined plane, where he was taken out of the window by the conductor. Mr. Towne then sanR himself, from exhaustion, and was rescued by some one crawling in after liim. By the greatest exertions on the part of J. Loom in and E. Sill, the two couductors of the train, it was saved from fire by rubbing on of snow after it was several times ablaze, although both froze their hands in doing so Had it burned, with the wounded inside, the re suit would have been horrible indeed. The bridge was a Howe truss. The two engines were on the train on account of heavy drifts of snow It is feared the bridge had beien tampered with by some evil disposed persons.
