THE CUNARp STEAMSHIPS Who can mistake
Cape Cod for Cape Amt Every one asks this
question. Why? Because the pilot who had
charge of the steamship Britannia on her last trip
to Boston, "plumped" her ashore in the neates,
manner and the most frightful to think about. She
remained on the bar about half an hour, and then,
fortunately, she got of and went into Boston. All
the passengers were naturally thrown into a state
of the utmost alarm and CONSERVATION
Mishaps like this are to be expected as long as
the Cunard steamers run to Boston. Cape Cod and
Cape Ann will be their Scylla and Charybdis, al
though both are very quiet, inofiensive Capes. We
10 not want the steamers to come to this cit be-
cause we do not wish to be bothered with EN-,

away, as the Columbia has been. Tosave them

Correspondence Of the Herald)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 1914.
The Ultra TariG Men Scared-Senator Woodbury.
Shut Up-Dilsmma about the Subject.
The Senate does not sit to-day
will not say that think the tariff men are real
ly afraid to have the merits of the tariff of AZ dis
cussed in the Senate, but think I can show you
that, at least, they very willing dodge the de-
bate.
The dscussion-as you already know-upon the
merits OF the question, opened without opposi-
lion by Mr.. McDufie. Again, without opposition,
Mr.. Evans replied. At the close of Mr. Evans's
speech, Mr. Woodbury. rose in his place to reply to
Mr. Evans, and upon the other side Of the question.
1t was late in the afternoon of Tuesday, and to
give him an opportunity to reply, an adjournment
was moved and carried. His rejoinder was expect
ed the next morning In the meantime, Messrs
Archer, of Virginia, and Berrien OF Georgia, as II
seems from the discussion the next day, gave no
tice to Mr.. Woodbury. that they intended to raise
question of order upon the question then pc
fore the Senate, and desired to know OF nm wne-
Their it would be more agreeable TO him TO have the
question OF order raised before he rose to speak or
afterwards. MIR. Woodbury. replied that if the de-
bate were then closed upon the merits OF the ques,
ton, he would prefer to have the question raised
before he rose to speak, 1t would not be pleasant
to be interrupted afterwards. Accordingly, mr.
Berlien raised the question of order first on Wed
nesday morning. The President decided against
him-the effect Of which decision was, to leave the
merits of the question open to debate; and both by
right and by courtesy (which no one is more for
ward to assert than the Senator from Virginia, Ar
cher.] Mr.. Woodbury. would then be entitled to
the floor. But on the announcement OF the Presl-
dents decision, Mr.Archer moved the postponement
of the whole subject, upon which motion there can
be no debate.
At this period Mr. McDuffie intmated that he
should thus be deprived Of the privilege to which he
thought both by right and by courtesy he was enti-
tied, of replying TO Mr. Evans Mr.. Archer then
withdrew his motion for the sole and only purpose
Of allowing Mr.. McDufie to reply to Mr.. Evans
and this arrangement was agreed upon, by which,
il. ! may SO say, Mr.. Woodbury. was jockcyed out
Of his speech
! account for it simply on the ground that the la
riff Senators were little shy OF Mr.. Woodbury's
speech-knowing the force and power of his facts
and figures-that he is northern free trade man
would take northern view OF the whole subject
adapt his speech to the interests of northern men,
and especially of the navigation interests the fshe
ries, and other productive measures OF totally
different characterfrom the cotton interests Of the
South.
conclude, therefore, that the tariff men are We
nv willing to close the discussion which they ra-
tionally suppose cannot promote their interests.
There is no news of Importance this morning.

mr.. Husts Address-The Pomeroy Trunk
Mystery.
Mr.. Rust's address to the public, unravelliDg the
mystery of his singular arrest for the imputed rob-
berry of Pomeroys trunk is given at full length in
this days Herald.
This simple statement beats every thing tina, ever
was written in romance. Godwn's Iron Chest is
nothing to Pomeroy's trunk But for the singular
and almost providential discovery of the real rob-
Der, Mr.. Rust, one Of the most honorable men in
any community, would have been, for his whole
life, pointed at with suspicion and distrust. But
fortunately, the arrest of the real robber, and the
trunk, sets everything right.
The address is worth reading, and the vindica-
ton of character complete-yet it becomes the
duty Of both Messrs Rust and Banks to pursue
this inquiry by every legal mode, TO ascertain posi-
lively the originators Of the grave charge, and to
have them punished-as well a. those journals
which, on mere suspicion, gave currency to these
charges, and, when explained, refused to make
generous amends for the injury they had done.

NEGLIGENCE AT THE PosT OFrIcE.-It appears
by correspondence which has recently passed be-
tween the Postmasters here and at Boston, and Sc.
veral merchants, that part Of the mail which LETT
this city on the 18th ult for the Acadia, did not
reach Boston in time to take that steamer, and
were, therefore, not sent till the nex-the Iiberna
This fact was known in the Boston Post Office, and
of course, must have been known here at lifetime ;
yet our Postmaster, Mr.. Graham, kept it pro-
found secret from the public; and those who wrote
the letters ignorant of the delay till the arrival
of the Britannia las, Sunday. The mail that miss
I'd was left behind in Norwich, and remained there
one day.
Now, we ask our merchants to read this para
graph carefully over, and then tell us, if they can,
whether or not they ever before heard or experien
ced such shameful neglect of duty on the part Of
Postmaster as is here presented to their view. If
this solitary case of failure, of negligence
even, it might, for once, be passed over in silence
but it is only repetition of what has occurred be-
tore. 1t is scarcely month since the whole Eng
sh mail from this city was left behind and cur
merchants compelled to wait two weeks for an
other opportunity TO forward their letters contain
ing important remttances and orders to their agents
and correspondents abroad.
Such Encouragement as this, however, does
astonish After having all sorts of folly
md ignorance practised in the Post Office; after
having been humbuged by all sorts Of nonsensical
mail arrangements after having observed the gross
neglect of duty on the part of the Postmaster, we
not at all surprised at the non-transmssion Of
IN English mail or two. While important mails
are coming and going every day, and important bu.
siness constantly coming up for the individual at
tention of our Postmaster, he IS in Washington Civ.
ing splendid dinners at Gadsby's, and figuring as to
who shall be the next President. If he will eat a
luiet dinner or two at home, throw away his poli
cal pencil and slate, and attend to his business ou
mails might, perchance, be sent ofto England with
out SO many failures, and our merchants much bene
fitted thereby. We hope that President Tyler
will see the propriety of this and send the Postmas
ter to his duties. and make him attend to the mark
ing Of letters instead of marking. down the MAORI
Ties at the next election.
