A number of Republicans who had -concluded to.vote for Jim.

The GHOM will find that the gallows which it. had prepared. for Page, is the “Qend fa! into which Coggins. will bring up in November. ‘The Union will remember that Haman ie 9 yun the king's establishment, that concern is. trying to . tye. tellectnal eunuchs raked together by the agents of the corporations to do thei ir dirty work.’ ’ * “Twenty years ago it cost a distinguished politician $50,000, by commen report, to buy the votes of two members of a certain State Assembly-to make him U.S. Senator. That much would now buy one hundred average corporation hominees to nlmost any y proposition, however base and treacherous to the people. This rapid and shameless decay in the pubhe morals of legislators is by example infectin sf the pioss and the bady politic. Newspapers, once—religiously regarded as the inalienable advocates of the people and principles, at least believed to be just, however much inspired by prejudice, are now bought aud sold like sheep and cattle; and, indeed, like very cheap cattley? This wholesale slanderer hides behind a generality, fearing to point out individuals. He says of the whole press, from his ambush, what if he would say face to-face with any one of them, ‘would cause him to be kicked while his worthless carcass held together. The man, if it be not an abuse of, language to call him such, that can make these charges is a publie enemy, and ought to be mude maintain his accusation or eat his words. ,.e.is worse than the thief or burglar—as :much worse as werse can be, fer-he attempts, by wholesale, to filch from men ‘that which is more valuable than money. As Rev. Dr. Stone said in bis excellent sermon last Sunday, when be had doubtless the Union in his eye: ‘The free and open bandying of charges of falsehood and corrtption works a public demoralization. Inevitably the whele moral tone’ of the peopld is lowered; the standards of right t and ititegrity sink into the dust, eC telegraphed me tht he had the money to pay for the Stars and Stripes,: and on ‘I'nesday last came down-fer . the purpose of closing the purchase, { and did so. At that time I hada free talk with.him in regard to his’ position in reference to the Republican party and nominees, and particularly yourself. He said chat he never went back on his word, aad that he should give you his heurty support; that there was something in Grant's administration that he did not like, but would give the whole ticket his cbearty sypport, and went on to state.how:he could help you in Placer. Now I learn that he has gone over to the Greeley Democracy. J may also mention th:t he suid be had joined the Grant Club at Anburn, and did not see how he could ‘be suspected of being for Greeley after that. Thesale to Sélkirk was -the result of an agreement made more than two years ago, Now [hope he-may do just what he said to me he would do, and give our ticket his hearty support, but fear that he has sold himself to the enemy-and thérefore cannot'be trusted.

I wrote to Selkirk at ouce, asking him to make ho demonstration against you, etc. He answered by return of mail expressing surprise tuat I should think itnecessary to write him on the subject, as he. never allowed a personal matter to interfere with his support of the party nominces, and he should give you his support.

Crawford, who is at Emigrant Gap, writes to his brother of this city, that Herrick was in the car with Hawke but injured. The, -Virginis Chronicle contains the following in relation to the accident: There is a great diversity of opinion as to the — cause cf ihe aeeident, but every theory bases it upen_ carelessness on the pary of the engineer. There were two engines attached to the train, and some-ef-tie—passen-1 gers.think they broke loese from the train, get ahead some distance, and then slowed down to allow thie cars to'overtaké them, while -etbers be-lieve_that_the forward car jumped the track and thus broke the coupwas not ling. The most plausible theory is that the engines got ahead, and that the train sutxeqaently collided with ‘them, throwing the forw: ard car from the track.: What strengt hens this theory is that tbe tender of the hind}. engine. was damaged, as if by a céllision. The express, mail and baggage’ cars were smashed to atoms, and tke platforms of the sleeping cars crushed downward, aHowing the coaches to come -squarely together. Thé accident occurred at the Truckee Lumber Company’s ‘mill, a few hundred yards beyond the town. The train (we are informed by an engineer who was en board) was making *full_sixty miles ;per Hour when the cars jumped, which they did from @ straight track. Our informasit was in the smoking car at the time, and seeing that the started back, and was just in the act of opening the rear door when the Crash camé. Marshall, the conductor, haG@ also noticed the speed a moment before, and stepping out to set up a brake, the platform was crushed beneath his feet,and he was canght between the curs. When found, his body wis ereet above the platform, but he was dead-—being cut nearly in two, while bis:hipsand legs were cFushed to a jelly. ee a oe ‘the Races. : The great race between ‘'Goldsmith Maid” and “Oecident,” takes place to-day, at Sacramento.

A number of Republicans who had -concluded to.vote for Jim.

The GHOM will find that the gallows which it. had prepared. for Page, is the “Qend fa! into which Coggins. will bring up in November. ‘The Union will remember that Haman ie 9 yun the king's establishment, that concern is. trying to . tye. tellectnal eunuchs raked together by the agents of the corporations to do thei ir dirty work.’ ’ * “Twenty years ago it cost a distinguished politician $50,000, by commen report, to buy the votes of two members of a certain State Assembly-to make him U.S. Senator. That much would now buy one hundred average corporation hominees to nlmost any y proposition, however base and treacherous to the people. This rapid and shameless decay in the pubhe morals of legislators is by example infectin sf the pioss and the bady politic. Newspapers, once—religiously regarded as the inalienable advocates of the people and principles, at least believed to be just, however much inspired by prejudice, are now bought aud sold like sheep and cattle; and, indeed, like very cheap cattley? This wholesale slanderer hides behind a generality, fearing to point out individuals. He says of the whole press, from his ambush, what if he would say face to-face with any one of them, ‘would cause him to be kicked while his worthless carcass held together.

At that time I hada free talk with.him in regard to his’ position in reference to the Republican party and nominees, and particularly yourself.. He said chat he never went back on his word, aad that he should give you his heurty support; that there was something in Grant's administration that he did not like, but would give the whole ticket his cbearty sypport, and went on to state.how:he could help you in Placer. Now I learn that he has gone over to the Greeley Democracy. J may also mention th:t he suid be had joined the Grant Club at Anburn, and did not see how he could ‘be suspected of being for Greeley after that. Thesale to Sélkirk was -the result of an agreement made more than two years ago, Now [hope he-may do just what he said to me he would do, and give our ticket his hearty support, but fear that he has sold himself to the enemy-and thérefore cannot'be trusted.

Crawford, who is at Emigrant Gap, writes to his brother of this city, that Herrick was in the car with Hawke but injured. The, -Virginis Chronicle contains the following in relation to the accident: There is a great diversity of opinion as to the — cause cf ihe aeeident, but every theory bases it upen_ carelessness on the pary of the engineer. There were two engines attached to the train, and some-ef-tie—passen-1 gers.think they broke loese from the train, get ahead some distance, and then slowed down to allow thie cars to'overtaké them, while -etbers be-lieve_that_the forward car jumped the track and thus broke the coupwas not ling. The most plausible theory is that the engines got ahead, and that the train sutxeqaently collided with ‘them, throwing the forw: ard car from the track.: What strengt hens this theory is that tbe tender of the hind}. engine. was damaged, as if by a céllision. The express, mail and baggage’ cars were smashed to atoms, and tke platforms of the sleeping cars crushed downward, aHowing the coaches to come -squarely together. Thé accident occurred at the Truckee Lumber Company’s ‘mill, a few

hundred yards beyond the town. The train (we are informed by an engineer who was en board) was making *full_sixty miles ;per Hour when the cars jumped, which they did from @ straight track.
