A BERLIN dispateh of the 15th says the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung stigmatizes as a disgusting invention’ the reportin the American papers of an interview with Prince Bismarck, in which the Prince is made to say that he-would_thirpl"tte the idea: of God, and substitute that of the State. It declares that Bismarck never used such language or advoecated such Sentiments, and believes the falsehood originated in the machinatiéns of the Jesuits.

Mr. Walker tHinks it would inevitably destroy a great pavt of our manufactures to establish Free Trade before specie payment has been Testored. He is in favor of Free Trade, but’does Tiot want it with our present currency, . Ife mentions the following as indispensable-planks in the platform of the new party which is to control the future of the country :— “First and foremost, effective measures for the gradual but certain restoration of the .currency; secondly,” for regulating ,t}le"‘in’éérnalv commerce of the” éountry by, securing equitable charges. for, -transportation ; thirdly, for .establishing a- strietly revenue tariff; that is, one that shall not interfere with the industry of the country —in other words, a Free Trade tarift.,”

. Toie was when. we had the most impligit confidence in the political sagacity of the editor-in-chief of the World. We must confess, however, that our mind has undergone a radical change, and our reasons“therefor are these: - Early last year the World warmly espoused the Liberal cause until the Cincinnati convention placed in nomination a journalistic rival in the person of Horace Greeley. After that important event it was wholly unable to discover anything commendable in! the onward movement, and assailod the candidacy of Mr. Gréeley with " all theé bitterness imaginable, When the Baltimote convention sounded the tocsin, the Werld retractod and . obediently flung to the breeze the banner of Greeléy & Brown. "’".Politi‘_cjégﬁs‘ of every hue were anxious to learn How the World would extricate itself from the embarrassing situation into ~which it was placed by its extreme ' fol]y——wh'en lo! the wise man at its head promulgated the ever memorable declaration that the Baltimore conven-. tion had done precisely what the World had been laboring for these four years but did not -dare to avow for fear the Democracy were not: yet ripe for that advancéd step i ‘the right direction! The argument was unquestionably ingenious, and wag . accepted as one of sincerity. But what do we find after the defeat of November? The same World giving the lie to all these professions, swallowing its own vomit, and endeavoring to exceed all others in the “art” of - throwing dirt at' the very men for whom it exp ad~miration ﬁfm G;géyljleg fg&fng&% - shifts may pass for journalistic smartness in r opolis, but aln Lthis _ lataimd& ihm Viewed in quite a- differLR ST Sl 8 e jigngin. omals TS M

| THE MENNONITECOLONISTS." ~ Mention has on several occasions been made in these columns of a Mennonite colony purchasing large tracts of land in the West. Rev.J. E. Funk; of Elkhart; has taken a lively interest in this project, accompanying the acgj‘ vance agents . tol the Far West ant rendering - thein, valuable services in | the purchiase of lands, &¢.. From the | New York papers we ol')s§érve that the German steamer Hammonia arrived in' that city last Friday from Hamburg, bringing, among 479 passengers 100 Mennonites from Feodessay it the southern part- of Russia, who, owing’ to ‘the attémpt made -to Russianize them and force them into the army, have sold their lands and left the colony whicl was formed by their forefathers, emigrants from Germany, many years ago, and now seek ahome in the United States. Of the immigrants there are forty-five families and | all of the peasant class, evidently, as the World says, with abundant means at their digposal: They are quite dif-_ ferent from the usmal class of immigrants, hale and robust and cleanly in their habits. . On their arrival they were met by Pastor-Neuman, of the Latheran Chuich, tlm)ugh whom fhoy had been iil\llu(f.(r(l to come to this country. Theiy story is that some six months ago the Russian authorities informeds them that in a few years they would be compelled to enter the :ﬁ'my, and, in 1‘;10’5, conform to all the laws as observed by the Russians. The Minister of the State was petitioned in_thé matter without avail, and commuynications were sent to Canada asking the allotment of a spot on which to form a colony. Asthe Government could not promise to them that they wouldn’t be compelled: to take up ;u'ms, [if necessary, or join the u].:m_\', they determined to come to the United thtt(}s{ where they were inﬁwmml, if ‘ drafted inthe case of war, they would Dbe permitted to give a substitute, and therchy not infringe one of the main l principles of their faith. In addition ‘yto the 100 who arrived last Friday 400 more are on their way. They arew denomination of Baptists founded by Menno Simonis in IHolland. They were at first tdken under the patron‘age, of William of Orange, and prospered, and during the seventeenth century became quite numerous in the central countries of Burope. In the eighteenth century they were, howevs er, subjected to severe persecutions, and their condition has never been satisfactory in either Holland, Hano‘ver, or Germuny. Consequently in the Dbeginning of this century a colony of these dissatisfied religionists was ga.thet_'ed' together from Prussia, Wurtemburg, and Bavaria, and emigrated to Feodessa, in Russia, where tfh(-;\" were permitted to establish a colony and epjoy their own peculiar religious and social tenets. T])(‘y were sulJjected to no other conditions than paying a land tax, thereby having privileges not enjoyed by the natives. IHHow - ever, lately the TRussian duthoritics sought to incorporate this numerous and important colony among the subjects of the Governmen, in: defiance of the stipulations which the Emperor Paul made to them oﬁ their going to Feodessa. ‘ The present Czar resolved ‘to bring the Mennonites, as well asthe Poles and Lithuanians and other nationalities, into a homogenous Russian mass. Much difficulty was _oncouﬁto:;— ‘edin obtaining permission to emigrat . and this obstacle is not altogether removed yet,. as there are some 40;‘000 still }D@hind who have not commenced to dispose of their lands. Those that have arrived here fled precipitately on hearing-that the Minister of the State refused 'to interfere in their behalf.— They consider the action of the Czar as a religious persecution, and will to a man leave Russia. This hegira, it is expected, will fill up many of the farming lands in Kansas, whither it is understood the majority will go.— Some, however, have made known theiry intention of going to Dakota in charge of an agent, ' Those who arrived on Friday have set out for the State of Kansas. | ol .

Wants lto Hear from Carpenter. - The Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin is an intensely radical publication—one that is in the habit of endorsing pretty mnearly everything done by members of its party: But the recent conduct of Semator Mat. Carpenter seems to be too much even for that loyal newspaper. In its issue of the 16th it says: “The New Yori Zribune and Chicago Z%mes have made the most serious charges against the private character of Senator Carpenter. These charges are too grave to pass unnoticed. They aré uttered by journals of ample pecuniary responsibility. They can be made to suffer most seriously if they have given ‘currency to reports that are false and libelous, and the constituents of the Senator have a right to know the truth. If they are false, personal malevolence could go no further, and any jury would award such damages as would be a lesson to all future journalists.— The people demand that the Senator of their cheice ‘should vindicate his | character.” Fxactly, By all means,! let'tthe Wisconsin. Senator speak right out. %

Kemper was unanixmously nominated for Governot. ° Gerteral Kemper commanded a brigade in Picket’s division during the war, was seriously wounded at Gettysburg,in the celebrated charge of that division, and was left.on the field and made a prisoner.

Dose he forget that when a man who was all his life long an enemy to corruption, and fought it, in and out ,of his party, and that the dislike to ? whom in his party was confined to politicians, in “cliques and secret rings,” degiring “justice in the administration of our laws, equal civil “rights for American citizens, the purity of the pulpit and the freedom of the press,” onlyas it redounded to their personal benefit; does he forget that he laid .aside his hobby to traverse the streets ‘and wherever he could find= listening car poured into it the stale remarks, that we did know just what Grant would do, that we didn’t know what Greeley would do, he was vacillating, &e.

The Anti-Monopoly Party in lowa. On Wednesday of last week about two hundred and fifty delegates, representing one-third of the counties of the State, were in attendance at'the Tlowa Convention of Anti—Monopol‘istS,, at Des Moines. The resolutions of the convention 'eut it loose from.existing parties, and pledge its supporters and candidates to an indépendent political movement. The legislative control of corporations, including the National Banks as well as the railroads, the réadjustment of the tarift to a revenue basis, inclifding the abolition of all duties on salt, iron, lumber, and cotton and woolen fabries, the repeal of the salary-grab, and restitution of the pay pocketed, the reservation of public lands for actual settlers, and general denunciations of all forms of corruption comprehiend the gist of the platform adopted. A full State ticket was nominated, led by Jaeol G. Vale, of Van Buren county, for Governor, and Frederick O’Donnel, of Dubuque, for Lieutenant-Gov-ernor. The former has heretofore atted with the republican, and the lat; ter with the democratic party. *The ticket is -adjudged a popular one, and as the Democrats are not likely to nominate a third ticket, the anti-mo-nopolists may possibly make it red hot for the Republicans. - '

‘Horrible Collision oéﬁe Chicago & . Alton Railroad —Forty-Three Per»4; - sons Killed 2&%0%9 é ﬁ “A frightful accident occurred on the Chieago & Alton Railroad Saturday niglit, near Lemont, 22 miles from Chicago, by the collision of the southward bound express with a coal train bound north. ?1?361‘331’; was terrible. The, engine of the foal traif jumpéd the' track, plunged pastthe express engine; knocked the baggage car from the track, and striking the 'second-class car (filled with passengers) full onthe end, - lifted it up and passed beneath it, tumbling the occupants into the rear “end of the car, where those not killed outright were fearfully sealded by the steam escaping from thé perforated boiler., -There were seventeen passengers killed and fifty-one wounded or scalded. ‘ :

" THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT " was the inexcusable foolhardiness of the conductor of the freight train i leaving Lemont when he knew that it was a atter of life and death,—that it was a mere chance if he could reach a switeh in ‘time, — that it was his duty to remain there until the passen-§ ger train, which had the right of way, was safely by,'and that any way he“ had no right to run any risk or take . any chances. Mr. Huston, stationagent at Lemont, entreated him not to ‘ leave the station, and so uneasy was M. Huston when he did leave, that Le listened until he heard the concussion, and then he went to work to secure ‘the necessary aid. ' .+ HORRIBLE SCENES. : AL S, Burgess, conductor of the Pullman palace car on the train, gives an interesting account of the scenes that followed the collision. “Never in my life,” said he, “have I witnessed sueh a sight. It was the fifth collision in which T was a participant, but never did T see such misery. In the meadows on either side of the track were lying haman bei;dgs, yelling in agony, —their flesh boiled off of them. The freight engine had vun clean undeineath the smoking car, and had there exploded, gxuttering the car into little pie(é.es, and i)lé“'ixlg the occupants hi gh up into the air, and over the fence into the meadows. The other engine burst at the same time. A man—l don’t know who he :was—ran up to me,éshl‘i_.ekiﬁg with ngony, and threw himself into my drms. I tried to hold him, but his clothes tore off him, and the fleshr came off with them. I was neai‘ly stunned at the sight. There were a dozen or more, stripped stark naked, running up and down, crazy with pain. They were tearing at their bodies, and tearing off great handsful of flesh. The passengers behaved ad‘mirably. They took up the wvietims -and carried them into the coaches. T 4old them to bring them into the sleeping car, and they did. The first thilig I knew, the ladies, God bless them! were tearing up their under-clothing to bind iup the sufferers. Why, sir, in half a minute they had not scarcely anything ‘ left on them. T could not stand that any longer. I did not care what the company said, .so I just gave orders to open thelockers and tear up anything that came handy. ‘Andtheydid. Three of the ladies were-tearing sheets into lengths to bind.up wounds, while half a dozen others were Dbinding them around the bloody arms and bodies of the wounded men. It was strange how the Sllﬁ?el'ez's behaved. 'There were some men who could not live, it seemed to me, another half hour— They would tell me: “Go and look after somebody else. I can get along well engugh. There are others worse off than' T am.” And then again others who had only a hand or foot burned would be erying out for some one to help them, and yelling and sereeching for somebody to pray for them. Poor fellows! they all had reason to, suxe enough. There was nobody who had not cause enough to call out for help.” ARREST OF THE FREIGIT ENGINEER. -

Judicial Nominations. ‘The Republicans of the 34th Judicial Circuit, composed of the counties of Lagrange and FElkhart, met at Middlebury, August 7, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Judge and Prosecutor.

A little son of Anthony Beck, who resides ‘mear Pike’s: Crossing, Boone county, had a finger badly cut two weeks ago by getting it fast in some machinery. DBy advice of an old lady who was present, the wound was treated with a sulphur poultice, and on last Sunday the boy died of lock-jaw. On the sth, a three-year-old child of Joshua Lockridge, who lives §even miles from Kokomo, swallowed a piece of chicken bone, which lodged in its throat. The parents brought the child to town to procure relief, but were assured it could only be relieved by a surgieal operation. This they refused to- consent to, and returned home. Some days after they sent for the surgeons to cut out the bone, which was done, but too late to save the life of the child, as the throat had become greatly inflamed and a large amount of pus had formed. Onthe evening of the 9th Moses King, Who resided near Maxinkuckee, Marshall county, descended into a well on his premises, in the bottom of which a driven well had been. sunk, for the purpose of fixing a cylinder. Ile was ‘suffocated with the foul gas. Soon after his datighter passed by, looking into the well, and saw her father sitting on the bottom, she called to him. But not being answered summoned her mother and brother, who came, accompanied by a lady neighbor.— They 'attached a rope to the boy's body and lowered him into the well, On reaching, the bottom hLe detached the rope and was about to secure it to his father’s body when he was himself overcome. Mrs. King, now nearly frantic, was about to lower her daughter into the well, but was prevented by the‘other_lad)y. Assistance was procured and the bodies of father'and son were raised by the aid of ropes and hooks.

Desperate Fight in the Northern Pris-' on—A Criminal Killed. MicnieaN Crry, IND., August 15.— This morning while Charles A. Manning, Deputy Warden of the prison,and Mr. St. John, President of the Board of Directors, were alone in the guard room of the prison, Joseph Simpson;a prisoner, having armed himself with a cooper’s broad axe, came ifitg the room and advanced toward Manming exclaiming, “d—n.you, I will kill.you,), The deputy drew a revolver and 01dered the man from the room, threatening at the same time to shoot if ‘he: did not obey. The only response the prisoner . made was an attempt to strike Manning with the axe, spinning from side to side to avoid the pistol and advancing upon the deputy, who still eontinued to order him from the room on pain of being shot. At this juncture St. John, who could obtain no better ‘weapon, seized a chair and aimed a blow at the prisoner which unfortunately touched the 'deputy, who was somewhat . in the rear of St. John at.the time. The blow, however, fell on the prisoner, but with insufficient force to prevent his further advance. Recovering himself he rushed at the deputy, aiming a blow when the latter fired. Undaunted for an instant," the prisoner still advanced, when the deputy fired twice again. . Mustering his failing strength the prisoner threw the axe with all his force, narrowly missing the deputy’s head, and then fell back. As he fell the deputy fired the fourth shot. The second shot was fatal as was afterward discovered.— There was no motive for the murderous aftack except that Simpson had once escaped, and had an idea that ‘Manning:had reported him to the prison. The “Coroner’s jury returned a verdict that Manning was .free from all: blame’ = = RS e e S
