The following is from the New York
Journal Of Commerce of the 23rd instant.
"ln the list Of persons on board the
Charles, published in the New Orleans
papers, the name of the captain is given
"W. Gorham, Jr." The brig Susan Eli
zabeth, which sailed hence for New Or
leans in April 1898, and was lost, under
very suspicious circumstances, on herre-
turn from Montevidieo, was commanded
BY William Gorham, Jr."
The "William Gorham, Jr.," Of these
two paragraphs, doubtless refers to the
same person. WhetherlheIs Identical with
the "W. Gorham, Jr.," ofthe abandoned
ship Charles, remains TO be seen. The
probabilities are, that he is. In Febru-
ary, 1888; he was prosecuted at Buffalo
for an attempt to poison his wife. In A.
pril, the same year, he sailed from New
York city, as Captain Of the Susan Eliza
beth. The intervening period, would
Just have afforded him time to make tracks
from the former city ,and secure the com.
mand with which he left the latter.
$After the above was in type, the En-
quirer of last evening brought us para
braph from the New York Evening Post
which states that "W. Gorham, Jr.,"
moved few years since from Bangor,
Maine, to Oswego, New York, with his
brother-in-law, where the two opened a
store, which twas fred under such cir
cumstances, (that is to recover large
amount ofinsurance,) the public opinion
compelled them to leave the place."-
They are both spoken of by the Post "as
desperate characters" and both we be-
lieve, were on the Charles--the brother
in-law as mate.-Cin. Gaz.

n.rMr. Fox. oficial letter to Mr. wei

tTMr. FoxS official letter to Mr.. Web
ster, and Mr.. Wsbster's instructions to
the Attorney General are given on the
first page. The insolence of the British
demand is only equalled by the submiss-
i've compliance of the new administration.
This correspondence accounts for the
haste with which Mr.. CrittenGen, (the
Attorney GeneraD was sent to LockPOrt
to carry out the determination of the ad-
ministration to submit to the demand of
the British Government. Mr.. Webster
was evidently aware that this interler-
ence with the proceedings of the court
of N. York was unauthorized and without
precedent. He therefore says to the
AttOrneyGenera although you are not
desired to act as counsel yourself, you
will cause it to be signifed to him Mr..
Mcleod and to the gentleman who may
conduct his defence, that it is the wish
of this Government that, in case his de-
fence be overruled by the court in which
he shall be tried, proper steps be taken
Immediately for removing the cause, by
writ Of error, 10 the Supreme Court of the
United States"
After Mcleod is brought into the Uni
ted States Court he is 10 be discharged,
conformably to Mr.. Wsbster'S construc-
tiOn of the law Of nations. This is the
understanding fthe BritisnG Government,
and with this understanding the instruc-
tions were alluded to in the British Par
lament on the 9th of May as being sat.

showing that they had all they desired.
This is but the beginning of the truck
ling ofthe new administration to the

Government whose combined forces we
have twice subdued, and are able again ia
subdue, but which is never to be salts
fed by concessions until the world is al

CONGRESS has not progressed much
during the last week of our news from
Washington. Mr.. Clay has reported a
project for a Bank Of the United States,
which varies considerably from that Of
Mr.. Ewing, and is substantially like the
charter of the old bank. This plan, may
pass the two Houses; but as it embraces
views directly opposite to those of the
President, it may possibly (though we
think not probably be vetoed. 1t is the
hobby on which Mr.. Clay hopes to ride
into the Presidency; and he displays an
anxiety for its passage worthy better
cause.
The bill apPrOpriating $95,OOO to the
widow of the late President was still be-
fore the Senate on the gath ult. 1t was
ordered to be engrossed and read third
time. 1t will probably become a law,
Notwithstanding the serious objections
that have been urged Of its unconstitu-
tiOnality and insxpediency.
In the House, on the Oath, Mr.. Fill
more, from the committee of Ways and
Means, reported bill authorizing loan
not exceeding twelve millions of dollars;
which was read twice and referred to the
committee of the whole. A similar re-
ference was given to bill, reported by
Mr.. W. c. Johnson from the committee
on public lands, to distribute the pro-
ceeds Of the sales ofsuch lands, and grant
presumption rights. Mr.. Rosevelt's re.
instructing the select committee
on the currency.tO inquire into the con-
stitutionality and expediency of including
money interpretations in the general
bankrupt law, was taken up and referred
10 the judiciary committee. A resolution
which had been previously introduced by
Mr.. Floyd, gave rise to a debate on the
correspondence, which lasted

THE MYSTERY SOLVED.

1t happily turns out that there was no
Just foundation for the report that reached
here some days ago from New Orleans,
which attributed mutiny or piracy to the
crew of the ship Charles, on account of
that vessel having beeh found abandoned
off the Balize on the 4th inst, three days
after her departure from New Orleans for
Bordeaux. 1t appears that the ship sprung
leak on the night of the Sd inst, which
caused much alarm to the passengers and
crew, who after having become quite ex-
hausted by incessant labor during the
night at the pumps, determined to aban-
don the vessel on the morning of the 4th
on which day the passengers wero trans
fered, ct their own request, on board the
French ship Louis XIV, bound for Ha-
vre, which vessel was luckily but short
distance from the Charles, and was ena-
bled 10 lend the assistance of her boats
for the purpose.
We obtain The particulars here stated
from the Charleston Courier of Saturday
at which port Captain Gorham and crew
Of the ship Charles arrived on the pro-
ceding day, in the schr. Ann, from At
takapas, bound for Portsmouth, N. H.,
which put into Charleston in distress, ,hav.
ing been struck by lightning. Captain
GOrham has published the following card
in justification of his conduct in abandon
ing his vessel:
"The undersigned, passengers on board
the ship Charles, Captain Gorham, declare
that, on the Sd of June, about 8 O'Clock
P. M, leak was discovered, which in
creased so much in the night that they
(the passengers) demanded Of the Capt,
TO send them on board the ship Louis
QudrtOrsc, (which was at little distance ;
the danger was so imminent that Cap
tain Gorham acceded at once to our
demand, and was himself under the me-
cessity of abandoning the ship.
"This is to certify that Capt. Gorham
did not abandon the ship until he fouad
it impossible to save her, and that we
have given him this paper to serve him in
case Of necessity.

SHIP CHARLES,

We published Yesterday, a paragraph
or two referring to the ship Charles,
which was part If an article copied into
the National Intelligencer from the
Charleston Courier. This article pro-
fessed TO ''solve the mistery" of the ab-
andonment Of the Charles, and is regard
ed by the public generally as having
done so. For our part, we think it has
not done so. The Charles it will be re.
collected, was loaded with lumber, and
could not have sunk; yet she was aban-
doned almost in sight Of land, in good wea.
ther, and in such condition as, when
found some hours afterwards, to have
made very little water. She was taken 10
New OrleSns without any difficulty, and
(the papers state) had but four feet wat
er in her hold on arriving there.
The spots of blood on deck and in the
cabin, may be properly accounted for by
the Charleston paper, which stated that
the first resulted from the mates "cut-
ting his finger" and the others from the
Captains cutting his; it may. too, have
been satisfactorily shown, on the arrival
of the Captain and crew at Charleston in
the schooner Anne, that there was no
"foul play" on board the Charles; still the
"Mystery" is not "SolVed," and we in
cline to think the following paragraphs
will add TO it. The first is from the Buf-

$l,25O,OOO LOST!
SWARTWOUT OUTDONE BY AN
INDIANA LEG TREASURERl

INDIANA LEG TREASURER!
A great deal of indignation was excit-
ed in town during the week, in conse.
quence ofa statement made by prom
lnent Wing recently from indianapolis,
that the State had been subjected to an
other loss of about million and a qua rt-
cr Of dSIIGrS through the management or
mismanagement Of Milton Stapp. 1t
seems as near as We can learn, that Stapp
pledged to some stock broker in New
York $90O, 900 in State bonds as coIlats-
raj security for $26O,OOO, required to pay
interest on our Wing State debt. The
bonds we're redOemable within four
months; but Stapp failing to redeem, they
were of course, forfeited! In addition to
this transaction, he pledged to that
beautiful concern, the Gallipolis Bank
$49, 900 in bonds for 100000 in
the rags of that swindling concern, which
every body knows, are not and never were
worth copper! These are the facts az
we have heared them; they may be par
tally incorrect, but of their general truth
there is no doubt.
The immediate consequence of this
misfortune will be, that the interest ON
tho State debt due in July will not bo
paid, and the credit of tho State will re-
ceivs shock which it will be hard to re-
cover from.
This mismanagement and loss is not
of recent occurrence. 1t has doubtless
been known to the Wing managers at In
dianapolS for months; but they kept it Sc
crct until now, for fear of the effect it
might have on the Congressional elect
ions.
For this rascality or whatever else it
may be, Of Stapp, the Wing managers arc
solely responsible. The Democrats wore
long ago satisfied of his incompetency if
not dishonesty, and used every exertion
10 displace him, but without effect. Tho
Wings possessed the power and they OK
erted it in his favor. In the, legislature
of lS3o-4O, the Democrats, for the first
time in many years, had a majority in tho
lower House, and they were then 90 anx-
ious to displace Stapp that they attached
clause to the RepcnWc bill, rec organizing
and reducing the Board of ImprOvmsnts
and proposing to substitute rssprsiblS
man in place Of StGpp as Fund Commits
SiOner. Every body knows that rather
than lose Stapp, the Wing Senate perfsr-
red TO lose the Revenue bill; and the
Democrats knowing that Stapp ought not
to be trusted with the management Ofths
State funds, refused to pass the bill.

From the baltimore Republican

"REAsoN FOR ALL THINGs.-The reason
fnr the appointment OF John w. Bear to
office is stated by the GAINESVILLE Aurora
as fellows:
ave arc a little into the secret Of how
the' appointment was brought about. 1t
appears 'that the whig party, through
Gales & Seaton, promised Bear that
he would uavel the country and make
speeches, he should be rewarded.
He was definitely promised a farm, and
Gales g. Seaton we're TO raise the funds
to purchase it. But from their own in.
volvemsnt and others of their friends, il
is presumed they we're unable to do this
"Bsar went on 10 the city and deman.
ded hiS fee, threatning exposure il he did
not get it. Gales g. SeatOn urged his ap.
pointment TO Office, perfering to billet
him on the Government rather than buy
him farm.
"We have some evidence on this sub.
ect, which if the Wing press here, or
Gales 4 Seaton, contrdict what we now
say, we will pulish. We invite a deni-
al"
We give the "denial" that is thus in
vited. 1t is utterly and grossly false that
"the whig party, through Gales g. Seaton
promised Bear" &c or that SCALES g.
Seaton urged his appointment to Office"
for the reason stated, for any other reason.
For these statements there is not the
shadow Of foundations We have not,
however, the least hesitation in avowing
that, in our opinion, Mr.. Bear deserved
the gratitude of every true whig for his
services in the late canvass, and that he
should have had evidence of ours, in any
form in which We could conveniently
have afforded it,"
We cut the above from the National
Inteligencer, and shall wait with much
impatience, the evidence promised upon
this subject by the Zanesville Aurora
1t will be seen that the Intelligencer is
willing 10 give evidence for John W. Bear
in any convenient form. Akind witness
truly. But the evidence of GalesG-. Sea.
ton comes TOO late, for orders have been
issued to Col. johnson, the Indian Agent
10 remove Bear from his sub-agency.-I
His successor is not yet, we believe ap-
pointed. The cause of this order beng
issued, as we understand il, can thus
briefly be given. The government for
some time past has been anxious to pur.
chase the Wyandott Reservation. Upon
the removal of Purdy McEIvain Esq, and
the appointment of Bear, the Indians be-
came indignant, considering such an ap-
pointment an insult offered to them, and
gave the department to understand that
they would resent such treatment.
This together with the fears of sever
al of the whig leaders in this city, that
The appointment of such man as Bear
would iljure them in the coming elect
ons, determined those having the author
ty 10 remove him. We understand that
Bear proclaims vengeance against the
whole coon skin tribe, and swears that he
will expose all their frauds aud villain.
lis political friends will find that he is
lot to pc trifled with. Will the nOtOri-
