The LATEST STEAMBOAT MURDER.-A bel
egraphic despatch from Cincinnati, to the Nem
York Tribune, dated December 80, gives the fol-
lowing account of a disastrous steamboat explo.
sion on the Ohio -
The steamer A. N. johnson, bound to Wheel
ing, burst her boiler yesterday (2sth) with TIC
mendous explosion, near Maysville, KY, from
some unaccountable defect in the machinery
Between so and 20 persons were killed on the
spot and large number scalded, of whom some
so are SO horribly injured that their recovery
was considered doubtful.
Among the killed. we learn the MINES Of the
first clerk Fairchild, engineer Lyles and the pi-
lot Redman. Among the scalded were Messrs
Eyerhart and son, and G. L. Wetherly, Of Phil
adelphia; Wheat and Rison, of Baltimore, and
John Galbraith, of Pittsburgh. Messrs Arthur
Fole, T, Mcdonald, james Wickershaw, G. Bar
ker, and Ferguson, of Pittsburgh, were among
the saved
So rapid was the progress Of the flames after
that hardly an effort could be made for self-pres.
evation. The boat was soon in one sheet of
fire, and burned to the waters edge
The number of passengers on board the A. N.
johnson when this appalling accident occurred
was one hundred and sixty, not more than one
quarter Of whom escaped injury. So dreadful
an accident has rarely, If ever, occurred on the
Ohio.
The List Of the killed and wounded is as yet Of
course very incomplete, and as in most cases Of
the kind, there were probably many individuals
on board whose names will be ever unknown.

TUESDAY, Jan. 4.
The Senate adjourned after holding an execu-
tive session.
In the House, Mr. Bolts offered a resolution
postponing the Richmond mail question to anoth-
er day. Adopted.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole, Mr. j. r. Ingersoll in the Chair, and took
up the Presidents message for reference. Mr.
Brodhead Of Pa. submitted resolutions Of refer
ence, in lieu Of those OF Mr. Vinton, proposed
some days since. He said he believed we were
in better position, in regard to indemnity, when
the line policy was suggested, than we are now
or will be during the War. Then we had ample
territory for indemnity, and the lives and money
since expended in prosecuting the war farther
into Mexico, would have suficed to maintain a
defensive line. He next proceeded to argue that
the policy Of the Administration would end in
the humiliation of Mexico, and result in disas-
trous consequences to our own country. mir
Brodhead is Locofoco.
This resolutions were then postponed
MIR Giddings proposed an amendment TO Mr.
Vinton's resolution, referring the Amistad YES
sci slave case to select committee. Mr. Vinton
rejoined 10 Mr. Giddings.
Mr. McClelland OF Michigan rose to speak,
when it was moved that the Committee rise, which
was agreed to.
The Speaker then called again for petitions,
aud called on the Committees for reports.
Sundry bills and reports were twice read, and
referred to the Committee of the Whole; among
which were those in relation to the Dry Dock at
New York, providing for payment of the French
spoliatons previous to 1901, and making further
provision for widows of Revolutionary soldiers.

80 Another interesting debate took place in
the U. S. Senate, on Thursday, soth ult, on Mr.
Cass' bill to authorize the raising of ten new
regiments of regulars. We give sketch of the
pungent remarks of Mr. Hale, of N. H., from
the correspondence of the Boston Atlas -
Mr. Hale arose and said, that il was difficult
to understand truly the meaning of the Presi-
dent in his message. According 70 the gram
NAUTICAL construction of the phraseology, by the
rules Of Lindley Murray, he meant, that he could
have had no idea of destroying the nationality
Of the Mexican republic, but it left loophole by
which he can have a chance Of advancing such
proposition hereafter. 1t was peculiarly word
ed, but we are to look to the result Of causes
We are responsible for our own acts. For his
part, he would proclaim here and everywhere,
that this war was wrong from the beginning. and
age III wrlch we i've Justly charge,
able to the accusation of barbarism, and he
should not vote for a dollar TO prosecute il far
Their. He said, that until the President should
lay before this body an estimate Of the cost to
bring home our army by the shortest and best
road, he should vote not one dollar Of supplies.
lie would vote what was necessary to bring our
troops home but not man or a dollar to prose-
cute war farther. We must look at this subject
as 1t is, and he, for one, would not be deferred
from speaking his sentiments on this war, by any
threats Of moral treason" come from what quar-
ter they may. He related the story of DR. San
grade, in Gil Bias, who prescribed bleeding and
hot water to his patients, by which they ali died
When asked to change his treatment, he replied
that he would gladly do so, but 'that he had
written a book" The Doctor was committed.
and the President was committed. He has writ
ten book, and because he has thereby commit.
ted great blunder, we are 70 follow on and
continue in the blunder. He would do no such
thing. He said the gentleman from Michigan
(Csss) had said that every man, woman and
child in the country knew why the war policy
was continued. Now, said he, am neither a
man, woman, or a child, according to him, for
declare that do not fully understand the policy
Of the administration in continuing this war
The Senator said it was for Indemnity and pro-
lection"
Mr. Cass.-The Senator misunderstood me.
Hr Hale certainly did not mean to.
MIR Cass.-Perhaps the Senator is not capable
Of understanding me.
Mr. Hale.-Or it may be that the gentleman
from Michigan has not the power Of making
himself understood.
Mr. Hale went on TO say that he hoped the bill
would not pass that he concurred entirely with
the Senator from South Carolina, that we should
first define our position, before we augmented
our army. When the resolutions came up, he
should take occasion to express his views at
length on the war and he should show that the
war originated in desire to add new slave ter
ritory to this Union.

A Hard Qnse.-Mr Moses Williams, At the Rail-
road Depot in Springfield, last Friday evening had
his coat pocket cut open, and wallet containing
four hundred dollars taken therefron Mr. W. Is
from Wendell, in this county. He worked In Wor-
cester during the past year, and earned the money
with which he was on his way home, when the rob
berry was perpeirated. This Is a hard case, as Mr.

ant on him for support. A reward Of $50, was i'm
mediately offered for the recovery Of the money,
which was all in bills the Worcester and Central
