New Haven liegister: "Mr. Blaine's
scheme for 'saving' Peru, including the
Pan-American confederacy, seems to
have been a gigantic job to fill the
pockets of a few schemers at the ex
pense of tlte honor and possibly the
peace of tlie United States. Grant's
San Domingo job, and even the unsa
vory credit mobilier, were both insigni
ficant and respectable in comparison
with Blaine's guano confederacy."

I
Accident on tne Carolina Central.
We are in receipt of a letter contain
ing some particulars of an accident
which occurred last Monday on the up
per end of the Carolina Central road,
which we.publish in full:
The accident by which tne engine
was ditched and one car thrown from
the track near Brevard Station on the
Carolina Central Railroad Monday was
caused by some devil in human form
breaking and taking away the Jock and
lock pin and opening tne switch near
the saw mill place. The switch was
only about half open, so that the en
cineer could hardly have noticed it.
Had the train been running at a speed
of 20 to 30 miles an hour there would
in all probability have been a greater
loss of life than there was at Indian
Creek, where, my friend Frank Smith
and others were burned to death; The
perpetrators of this act no doubt had
murder and robbery in view, as it was
reported that the pay train was up the
road and would be down on bunday
night It is the duty of the railroad
authorities to do everything in their
power to find out, arrest and punish the
party or parties, and tne passengers on
the train demand that they do it, and
they also ask the authorities of Gaston
county and the good citizens in the
neighborhood of Brevard Station to
render them all the assistance in their
power. The writer usually believes in
letting the law have its course, but had
the guilty parties been found Monday
they would have been swung on the
first convenient tree found, unless pre'
vented by outside parties.
Passenger.
There was very slight damage done
by the accident, as the train had just
pulled out from the station and had not
gotten under full speed when the
switch was reached. The engine was
thrown from the track and careened
but was not damaged to any great ex
tent. None of the passengers or train
men were injured, and the delay of the
down train was only about two hours,
though the engine was left off the track
several days. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the switch was purposely
opened by some one with the intention
of wrecking the train, and every effort
should be made to catch the guilty par
ty. '

Alter an miormai discussion dv mor
gan and Allison upon the sufficiency of
the response made by the Secretary of
War to Morgan's resolution calling for
a full report of the mixed board of ord
nance, tc., tne response referred to
was read, it states upon tne authority
of the president of the board that it is
impracticable to make a full report at
this time, but that the b md expects to
make a lull report before tne end or
the present fiscal year.
Morgan criticized tne response as in
the nature of an evasion of inquiry and
as snubbing the Senate. He remarked
that he had been informed lhat some
of the heavy guns ordered to be built
by the government and costing $60,000
a piece, had Durst wnen Demg tested
and he would insist upon having the
facts.
Allison exDlained that under the act
creating it the board referred to did not
enter upon its duty until J uly 1st and
as a full report upon the action of the
board which the resolution called for
was not in the possession of the Secre
tary of War no more satisfactory re
sponse tnan tne one which nad been
received'couldbenaw rendered.
Hawley had read an explanatory let
ter on the subject from the chief of ord-
nance and the matter was then passed
over without further notice.
Call offered resolutions which were
laid over to enable him to speak upon
them hereafter, directing the Secretary
of State to institute negotiations for
a reciprocity treaty with the States of
Central and South 'America, also de
daring that the good wishes of the
United States requires the execution of
the declarations imposed by tne treaty
with Spain in 1819 for tne cession of
Florida by payment with interest of
claims for losses and damages adjudi
cated by the United States tribunals.

on claims an original bill as a sub
stitute for the one offered to the commit
tee to provide for the repayment to the
State of Georgia of $22,567, money ad
vanced by the said State for defense of
her frontier against Indians.
The Senate, at 1:30, resumed consid
eration of the resolution declaring that
the pension arrears law ought not to be
repeaieu, anu jur. uiair in us iavor
made an argument to illustrate the
correctness of the principle upon which
tbe arrears are based.
Vest submitted and had read a state
ment by Commissioner Dudley giving
as the total cost of the law $301,964,493,
and proceeded to make an eloquent
speech in advocacy of the bill and of
the principle' underlying our pension
laws.
A discussion followed, participated in
by Hoar, Allison, Ingalls and Butler,
upon the propriety of making a decla
ration in regard to pensioning soldiers
of the Mexican war, more specific in
view of existing provisions of the law
Ingalls nnally assented to a sugges
tion by Butler to allow tne resolution
to lie ovetpwtil to-morrow, adding that
he did so upon tne understanding that
a vote would then be tasen upon it.
Allison asked whether the under
standing was binding and the chair re
plied that it not being an order of tne
Senate its efficiency was doubtful. The
resolution was then laid aside inform
ally.

cupied in passage of Senate bills not
objected to, of which only thrse were
