The dealcation Of the Secretary of the Ocean lnsu.

Many misrepresentation have however appeared in print
Ia regard to the matter We will briefly state the
Mr. Schermerhorn appointed in Sls with salary Of
about 900 per On that salary ibis habits of u-
gay enabled him support his family and upto the year
1884, to a sum of $4,000 At that time the
great speculation in Morris Canal up and evil
hour professed friend induced Mr. schenerhorn to spe
culatc in that stock. He unfortunate, and in few
days the savings of fourteen besides small balance
sunk. This shock had powerful effect upon him
and he took from the company small sum, intending
course to return it. That eventually sweed
500 0ot consisted Of 900 shares Of stock issued which
is worth about sac 900, and the remainder concealed
by forced balances Of his bills able In the ten years
which have elapsed since his first false step Mr. Sche
merhorn has been exceedingly frugal in his expenses and
his little savings have been passed to the credit Of the
company. The change which has taken place in the
of the business has led the winding up
Of the company, when the stockholders have
paid off, The approach of this rendered longer
ceament impossible and Mr. schermerhorn voluntarily
disclosed the whole. The value of the stock in the
ket has been per cent? to-day however 30 per
offered for it. morning paper in remarkng upon this
affair, has the following
Mr.. schermerhorn, feeling that he could longer
avoid detection and that the robbery he had committed
must become known confessed the officers Of the com
pany that he had embezzled properly speaking
stolen majority fits capital.
'e alleges that in 1892 he was induced to purchase
quantity Of Deawar and Hudson Canal Stock the loss
upon which exceeded his ability meet and he took
from the Company the amount necessary to make up his
deficiency
The writer OF this probably I'D not choose remember
there is any such stock Morris Canal therefore he
stated Delaware and Hudson. Now the terms used in
speaking Of the transaction possibly just but where
the moral difference between his operation and that of
editor who into Wall street. specuates in Morris
Canal Nth the money Of the people loses large balance
which he refuses to pay and eventually takes the bcne
of the act to settle the account One money in his
possession, promising himself to make good and the
other runs in debt, and refuses to pay ths debt.
The sales OF the Stock Board small to-day, but
prices generally better Delaware and Hudson rose
per cent; Indiana SIS Ii Illinois Us I; Harlem Il Long

THE WArsrrE-IoRp JOHN HAY.-During the
last two days, the guns from the big ships of the
Battery have been sounding sauies at intervals,
since the arrival Of the Warspie, in giving honor to
different visitors of distinction. Lord John Hay,
commander of the Warspite, visited The North Ca
rolina yesterday morning, when fourteen guns were
fired. Aswe saw this gallant officer in full uniform
and one sleeve hanging, step from the barge at the
Castle Garden it brought to mind some thrilling in
cldents of the late war. Capt. Hay was midship-
man on board the Shannon, when she captured the
Chesapeake, commanded by Capt. Lawrence, who
with the brave Ludlow, died fighting on the deck.
This same officer now returns after lapse of nearly
thirty years. himself Post Captain, and anchors his
battle ship in our merry waters, in friendship and in
peace
May Britain and the States ever be in peace--the
bunting and the stars in sunshine stream together,
as on ,o-day-May the guns from ship to ship be
ever but salutes, and may all their warke marches
be changed to tuneful measures"En arant.
