THE Loss J2 THE SwALLow.-Tho
opinion, we believe, is generally enter
tanned in this community that the ter
rible disaster which has created somuch
dismay was the result Of inexcusable
carclcssncss. The reader will find in
another place letter from Rev. Mr..
Harrington Of Albany, in which that
gentleman expresses his judgment in
the case in very decided and yet in ye-
ry mild terms. II will be seen that he
dissents entirely from the ground taken
in the proceedings Of the passengers on
board the Rochester. .7ltcr that letter
was in type. Mr.. Parker Of Casteton,
VT who was one Of the passengers, cal
led upon US and stated that il was his
conviction that the boat was running
at the rate of ID miles an hour at tho
time of the accident. Half an Eour be-
fore she struck,no;icing that she had on
a great head of steam,hc mentioned the
matter to the engineer, and expressed
his fears that some accident might oc-
cur. The reply Of the latter showed
that there was determination not Ia
be outdonc by the Rochester, and MT.
Parker is confident that the speed of
the boat was as above stated. His opin-
ion is not only confirmed by the circum-
stances above alluded to, but by tho
tactthat the boat was thrown with such
tremendous force upon the rock. The
Pilot, it is understood. alleges the cx-
tremc darkness of the night as an apoI-
ogy for the calamity. If this allegation
is true, then there can be no excuse for
such rapid running if is mol true,
how can the accident be accounted for
except on the superstition Of degree
of innttcntion and carclcssness for
wlich there can be no apology? Per
haps all these things can be explained
in such way as TO cxculpatc the plot
from blame, but rs at present advised
we cannot resist tie conviction that he
is worthy of severe censurc. Tribune.
