Sad Result of an Explosion Opposes Victoria's Title Bill. Glasgow, March 23. To - day the boiler of a locomotive attached to a construction train on the Glasgow & Southwestern Railroad exploded. 5 persona were killed and 9 badly injur ed. London, March 28. In the House of Lords, the Earl of Shaftsbury, said that should the title bill pass its second reading, he would move an ad dress to the Queen, praying her to as sume a title more in accordance with the national history and the loyalty of hersubjects, than Empress. , WASHINGTON. Curt Words from Senator West- Explanation of the Enforcement Act Decision. Washington, March 28. The Capi tol is totally uninteresting to-day. Senator West says that regarding h is reported position on the Southern Railroad,that as he was as much abus ed, and as little understood two years ago when he favored and second ed the jetties, he thinks he knows what is for the good of Louisiana, and is working in her interest. Washington, March 28. Judge Clif ford dissented fiom the opinion, not from the judgment, in the Grant Par- rish case. Judge vVaite's opinion does not declare the enforcement act un constitutional, but the motive of race and color must be avowed in the in dictment and established, to assure a verdict. Exclusion or conspiracy to exclude whites and blacks indis criminately, from the polls, with no other motive than to . prevent them voting a certain ticket, does not come within the law. Whites and blacks alike must look to the laws, but where negroes who, wishing to vote the Democratic ticket, are prevented on the ground that no negro shall vote that ticket, while whites are allowed to vote it, the enforcement act holds , and Federal Courts can take cogni zance. The same holds when whites as a race, are excluded from the polls, or intimidated by negrpes because they are whites. The motive for the wrone must have its origin in prejudice again 8 1 the race or color, whether it be white or black,in order to bring the deed within the provisions of the enforce ment act. Matt. Carpenter and Judge Black are quoted as saying that there was little in the force bill at first, and nothing in it now. MARINE. Brig Ashore and 8 of Her Crew Lost Steamship Sank in the Arabian Sea and 500 Drowned. Portsmooth, March 28. The Brig A. Porter, ashore on White Island, lost eight of her crew, including the cap tain. London, March 28. Advices re' ceived here to-day from India, report that the steamship Jo wad, from Shils, has been wrecked in the Arabian Sea. She had aboard about 500 pilgrims, chiefly persons bound to Bushier. Three men, supposed to be the only survivors, have reached Hodixda. Mid-Night Dispatches. WEATHER PROBABILITIES.

MASSACHUSETTS. Interview with Gen. Kilpatrick He Doesn't Fear Investigation, and Tells a Tale of Corruption. Boston, March 28. The Po$t pub lishes an account of an interview with Gen. Kilpatrick, in which he de nied that he left Washington to escape testifying before the investigating committee. He says he is ready to swear ' that Gen.

Belknap's Impeachment Reported for Thursday Spencer Adjourned to Thursday Victory Over Crazy Horse Sargeant Denies Steps to Abolish Negro Regiments Prepair ing to Wind Up the Freedman's Bank Schenck on the Stand Con gressional Proceedings, &c. Washington, D. C, March 28. Arti cles of impeachment of Belknap have been reported for Thursday. The Spencer investigation has been adjourned to Thursday when Gen. Morgan will close his case. Gen. Crook's "victory over Crazy Horse is complete. Many who escaped must starve, their proyisions, ammu nition, &c, being destroyed. Sargeant, of Massachusetts, denies having paid Belknap $12,000 for con tracts. The Committee on Military Affairs have agreed to a bill gradually abolish ing negro regiments. The Select Committee on the Freed man's Bank, have prepared a bill for the management and winding up of that institution. The Secretary of the Treasury shall name the Commission ers vice those who die or resign. Their aggregate salary shall be $6,000, appor tioned by the Secretary of the Treas ury. Lost books may be made good by proof of claims, and dividends not closed within two years will be barred and' the proceeds divided among other creditors. The Commissioners may compound debts. Schenck is before the Foreign Rela tions Committee to-day, and will con clude to-morrow. He expresses a firm, sincere belief of the value of the mine, and the honesty of the sale. He bought and paid for the shares he holds at a pecuniary lo33. It is pro posed to lay before the committee un questionable proof that the evidence which has been taken is false, and that the witnesses who gave it are not worthy of 6elief under oath. The fail ure of the mine was owing to mis management. If the property were worked, it is to-day as valuable as was claimed when it was sold, fie objects to the mode of examination as more ikely to obscure than elicit the truth. He asks consent to cross-examine wit nesses who have testified against him, and examine those he desires to pro duce. Counsel accorded, and Schenck commenced his general statement, giving a narative of his connection with the mine, commencing in 71. He has so far exculpated himself from all blame, and shows that he lost money. Senate. A bill removing the disa bilities of J. J. Gholson, of Mississippi, passed. The Consularjand Diplomatic Bill was resumed. Merchants of Atlanta petition against the repeal of the bankrupt law. The Senate made many amendments to the Diplomatic Bill, restoring the present law. Executive session. Ad" journed. Confirmation : Cogblon, Chief Jus tice of Utah. House. The chair laid before the House, a communication from the District Attorney, that Hallet and Kilbourn were indicted on five counts for refusing to testify before a com mittee, and from the Sergeant-at Arms of the House, stating that the Marshal of the District had called on him for the custody of Kilbourn, which he refused until instructed by the House. Glover offered a resolution instructing the Sergeant-at-Arms not to deliver Kilbourn to any one until further orders. Lucker spoke in favor of action. The resolution was adopted without the yeas and nays. The re port of the Conference Committee that the House agree to the Senate amendments to make the amount of the Red Cloud Agency $150,000, was adopted. The bill regulating steam vessels was taken up. Reagan explain ed, and it went over to Saturday. A night session was dispensed with on account of the inclemency of the weather. Adjourned. WIND AND WEATHER. Storm in Washington $5,000,000 Damages in One Massachusetts County Ten Inch Snow in St Louis River Risings and Fallings Washington, March 28. Terrible rains and wind prevailed this evening. Boston, March 28. The flood dam a ges in Worcester county, are five mil lions. Four lives are thought t have been lost. . St. Louis, March 28. There are ten inches of snow here. Washington, March 28. The rivers have been risen six inches at St. Louis Cairo and Helena; five inches at Mem "phis, three inches at Vicksburg, twen ty-nine at Nashville, two feet at Cin cinnati, and one foot at Leavenworth and have failen one foot at Pittsburg, seven inches at Davenport fifteen in ches at Shrevepbrt, and four and a hal feet at Augusta. Congressman Purkan, of Florida, having said that the Republican party is "tne special cniid orttod, tne Has ton Pott observes that Purman's testi mony upon i this - point derives force from the fact that he is now undergo ing charges of corruption in office that will be very likely to send him to the Haven Deserted Haven has been heard from again. It seems he preach ed in Philadelphia a few days ago, but it was all about the twelve apostles. He didn't even pray for President Grant, and never opened his mouth about the third term, Belknap, Bab cock, or Boss Shepherd. The St. Louis Republican is scandalized at the Bish op's base desertion of his friends in this their hour of tribulation. The Republican thinks if there ever was a time when the third term business needed a strengthening plaster applied to the small of its back, and when Grant needed all the temporal and spiritual support and stimulants he can possibly get, that time is now. Bedeviled by Schenck, battered by Bab cock, and broken by Belknap, he calls upon his friends to rally around the flag and bring him a strong pair of crutches. And Haven, that truly good man, who carried the Boston Confer ence with him by a large majority a few months ago, and called heaven and earth to witness his supreme con fidence in and devotion to "our belov ed President," now turns his Episco pal heel and preaches on the apostles ! Ingratitude and inconsistency are no names for such conduct. He ought to be run through an advisory council at once. Nothing less than that will save him. How U. S. Senators are Elected. In Washington on Thursday, there ap peared before the committee which is looking into the ways and means of the election of Senator Spencer, of Alabama, one VGen." Cashin,a color ed saloon keeper of Montgomery. The principal testimony given by this witness was that he had furnish ed drinks, cigars, &c, to Senator Spen cer's friends in the Legislature, for which Senator Spencer paid a part and refused to pay the balance of the amount, $150. He created some mer riment by saying that the colored members of the Legislature drank nothing but twenty-five cent whisky and champaigne, and smoked cigars at $70 a thousand, and on one occa sion ate two bushels of shrimps. The cross-examination undertook to prove the witness was an enemy of Spencer because Spencer refused to pay for some $150 worth of drinks which the colored members of the Legislature had gotten at his bar. A Sure Sign. It is generally accep ted as a good sign when a sick person is cross and peevish a sign that he is on the gain. A Fifth street man was taken down with lung fever some weeks since, and his wife has watched over him and seen him so near death so often that she was about discourag ed. She however rushed into a neigh bor's yesterday in great joy Jand ex citement, crying eut : 'He s better he s better tie s on the gain I" They asked how she knew, and she replied : 'Because he s cross ! It was only a minute ago that he threw a fork at me and called me the biggest liar and meanest woman in Detroit!" Detroit Free Press. Wealthy New York Papers.

The Sun is estimated at $200,000. Cincinnati Gazette. The Richmond Dispatch endorses the Pennsylvania Democratic platform which it thinks is by no means an en dorsement of hard money. The Dis patch then remarks of the Presidential candidate one iree irom entangling alliances and visionary opinion, who is patriotic and warm hearted a real ly intelligent and practical man a man well made and built, with all his faculties and human sympathies strong and well-balanced say Han cockn we say, with a man, and with this Pennsylvania flag floating over them, why can't the Democrats win a glorious victory ?

Both parties have nominated exceptionally strong tick ets, and, iu view of the'approaching Presidential election, it is anticipated there will be a desperate rallying of partizan lines on national issues.
