while light produces a feeling both

Railroad Disasters.
Tidings were received in Richmond
yesterday of three fearful railroad acci
dents, in each of which the loss of life
was almost miraculously small. Full
particulars could not be obtained in either
case.
A special passenger train, containing
delegates returning frcMii the Norfolk
Convention, left Lynchburg on Saturday
the 17th instant for Bristol When about
ttre ve miles from Lynchburg, near Elk
creek, the boiler of the locomotive
‘•Washington,” attached to the train, sud
denly exploded, instantly killing the
engineer. Jerome Stout, and also the fir#
uiun, whose name is not reported.
The body of the engineer was divided
into two parts, one part lodging in a tree
sfkersl hundred yards from the engine.
It was necessary to cut the tree down to
recover this portion of the body. 'I he
remains of tho firemen were also blown
several huuured yards, but were also
recovered.
The train consisted of thirteen passen
ger cars, all heavily loaded with human
beings, containing probably not less than
six hundred persons. Eleven of the cars j
were more or less broken or damaged ; one
of them was battered almost to pieces, but
although tilled with ladies, strange to aay
mnie were seriously injured A train was
a nt out from. Lynchburg to carry the
delegates back to the city, where they
wrre to remain until the engine debris of
the tnin could be removed und the track
repaired
nother special train on the same rail
road conveying delegates towards their
homes, and preceding the one mentioned
above, runoff the track aL a point near
Vbingdon, but no lives were lost by the
accident.
On Saturday night two trains collided
on the North Carolina railroad about six
miles from Harrisburg Station. On one
of them was McOinley & Co ’a circus
company. Both engines were perfect
wrecks- The fireman (colored) had one
log taken off, and four other persous hurt
—to what extent is not known.
Tlie Funding Iniquity.
Under the laws of Congress nearly two
thousand millions of the Public Uebt is
made payable in the lawful money of the
United States. The late Congress have
undertaken to repudiate this contract
with the holders of the b lib bonds by
passing what is called the Funding Bill
Ibis uieusurc was passed by a street party
vote, und failed to become a law only be
cause the President could not be prevailed
on to sisin it. And what were the provi
sions of this Funding Iniquity?
Overruling the law. and in the very
teeth of it. this Funding bill sought t>
convert two thousand millions of bonds,
now made not payable, but redeemable, in
legal tender currency, into a bonded debt
redeemable entirely in gold, interest aud
principal. In other words, it sought to
rob the tax-paying people of just the
difference between the value of currency
and gold, which the simplest arithmetic
shows will add one thouiand millions to
the amount ot the bonded debt- a direct
levy of this enormous aggregate upon the
tux paying masses for the benefit ot the
non taxpaying Bondholder.
'I he second main result of this bill was.
to exempt this entire amount of debt from
all Federal, as well as State or local taxa
tion And this idea was its ehiet infamy.
The idea that rich men may put their
capital into bonds and bo forever free from
all share in the public burdens is an out
rageous wrong. It cannot bejustified and
will not be tolerated. Exemption of rich
men from their equal share in the public
burdens, thus visiting a double burden
upon the poor, is a monstroua wrong.
Partisan Outrages.--Not tho least
remarkable fact is, that fully »s many
of them occur in the North as in the
South. We are not sure but that
counting mob for mob, the North
would heat the South by a considera
ble number. Yet we have hot SSfll III
