the navel-a single blow only being given 10
each. The intestnes protruded from the wounds,
and were observed to be much cut-and both
expired in the course of20 minutes. Atthe time
This bloody deed was committed, two OF the
crew were reading on the opposite side OF the
forecastle. and on hearing EXPLANATIONS from
the wounded men, they looked up and dlscov-
cred the assassin making towards them with
a knife in his hand-one OF them drew MS shea'n
kn;fe and brandishing it at the assassin, caused
him to run 10 the ladder on the deck, Inc TWO
men following in pursuit, and following 10 tnose
on deck, for the purpose OF warning mem %
their danger. The chief officer, hearing the dis-
tnrbance' was in the act of going forward when
he observed HARDY running al, and attempted
to stop him. when the wretch stabbed him IN tne
side but fortunately the knife did not penetrate
the BODY, as it struck upon one OF MS rios'-
;Che mate then seized a handspike and moving
aft. met Hardy, who had chased inc man Ho'l'

tempting to secure him, received announcer very
bad wound in the side Of the face. AT this lime,

derer. and took the knife from him, after when
he vas ironed and put into the lower hold.
The next morning before the two bodies were

reasons for thus killing two innocent men who
had never offended him, he answered that ne DID

wAsHINGT ON CORRESPONDENCE.

Correspondence of the Journalcf C6mmerce, Wash
ton, Nor. 49, 1884.
The public mind here is much agitated upon
local question, affecting the Interests Of the VI
ty of w ashington. as a corporation. Sometning'
il is conceded, must be done tor the rellei OF Inc
CITY, or the President, under the Act authorlz.
ing the Dutch loan, must soon proceed 10 sell
the city at Auction. All, too, agree that Congress
must be appealed to and relied upon in the
emergency; but there appears to be an rrecon'
ciabe difference of opinion as to the termsWhich
shall be proposed to Congress. Some propose
to hold on upon all the city has got, and 10 get IN
addition, what they can. They wish Congress TO
loan the city enough to pay its debt, or al least
to pay the annual interest OF the debt, ana 10
make a further subscription, on the part oil the
Government, in aid OF the completion OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Others propose
to transfer to the Government the whole of the
City Stock in the Company,-the Government
taking upon itselfthe Dutch Debt. But the large
property- holders in the city are in favor of sur
rendering to Congress the City Charter, and all
the property Of the City,-Congtess assuming
the City Debt. IL this last proposition, which
appears to very reasonable, feasible, and ad-
vantageous to the city, should prevail the city
will, hereafter, be governed by Commute OF
Congress, or by the agents OF Congress. Un-
less the District of Columbia can be re'ceded to
the states from which it was discovered, the best
plan for its inhabitants will be to rid themselves
altogether Of the expense and responsibility Of
selfgovernment.
The Chesa peake and Ohio Canal is work
of such great national importance, independent
ly of the interests of this City and District, that
Congress cannot much longer suffer it to stand
still. The President, it is understood, is IA
vorably disposed towards an ample appropria-
ton for its speedy completion to point which
will render it productive. AS to the City Debt,
that portion of it which was contracted IN aid
of the Canal, the Government is bound to as
sumo, for the reasons that the Government by
its legislation on the subject Of the Canal gave
a recommendation of the loan, which abroad
was considered as tantamount to guaranty,
and because the magnificent dimensions of the
Canal which have doubled its expen Sc were
adopted under the direction of the Government.

which time she had six feet and hall oil wafer
in her hold The towboat Shark has gone down
to her assistance.
The N. Jersey, drawing less than 10 feet, stood
in for the bar on Sunday morning at hall past
10 O'Clock under charge of Jos. Drenhann' one
of the pilots of the S w Pass. and with free
leading breeze and fine weather. He attempted
to bring her out Of the regular channel, thereby
getting her hard and fast aground, on the East
Breakers, in 10 feet water where she lay striking
under the influence Of strong S. E. gale and
heavy sea heaving in, until about +. M, when
she worked off, The sea was too rough to ad-
nit of the towboats rendering any other assis-
lance than to send men on board. The snip
sounded when free from the bar, and found no
water. Early this morning feet Of water was
reported to be in her hold; all hands kept con
stanty emeloyed in pumping her to 10 o'clock,
when the leak was discovered to be gaining. so
fast upon her, that in order to prevent the snip
