GEO. w. MATsELL, CHEF Of Poltce-A para
graph appeared in our last, written by one of our
Assistants in the City Department, speaking very
favorably of Mr.. Matsell, present Chief Of Po-
lice, and bis anticipated reappointment. The
Office is one with which Politics have properly
nothing to do; and if Mr.. Matsell is the right man
for it, the Mayors reported determination to re-
appoint him is wise and just But, before ap-
proving such an appointment, we want to know
why FIVE thousand groggeries Of all grades are
kept open every Sunday in our City in fragrant
violation oflaw-why thousand or so Of drinking.
holes are permitted to prosecute their desoat-
ing business without that license which the laws
require-why so many gambling houses and Po-
licy-ofices flourish from year to year in our City
to the pecuniary and moral ruin Of thousands Of
citizens and strangers. The Chief Of Police either
has or has not power TO break up the thousands
of deus of infamy and ruin which exist in our
City in open violation Of existing laws; if he has
the power and neglects TO use it, he is bad
man, and ought not to hold that most responsible
post if he lacks power and fails to ask for it and
demonstrate its necessity at each fair opportunity,
be is likewise unworthy-Why cannot some man
of the highest moral character and the first legal
ability be induced to accept that post, with re-
solute purpose to render himself by fearless and
unsleeping fidelity, a terror to all evil doors
Such Chefof Police is one OF the great wants of
our CITY.

GEyu1yE PRoGREss-'R. w. requests US to
state (which we do with pleasure) that at the
Ball and Supper given at the Coliseum on the
evening Of the Goth ult in honor of Thomas Paine,
there was very little liquor drank-much less
than has been usually drank when Balls were
held there Such was the barkeePer's testimony.
If r.. w. suppOses that we do not rejoice at
the progress of Total Abstinence from all that
can Intoxicate, as well among lnfdels as others
be is very blind bigot. Our aIlusion to Mr..
Paines notorious failing in this respect was never
intended to imply that Infdels are necessarily in
temperate We know many unbehevers IN
Christianity who are not only strictly temperate
but of exemplary morals in all respects. At the
same time it does seem to US that Inhdelty Is un-
favorable TO Moralty-or, more precisely, that
uegati0n is q poor expression Of any lucid and
wholesome idea Of Mans relation to the Uncaused
cause. Others think differently and We rejoice
that we live in land where every one may ex-
press his own conviction freely and fearlessly.
For this, we think some credit is due to Paine
ard we have cheerfully rendered it, Is it not
fair, when this community is called to honor and
gorify his memory, that both sides Of his oharac-
ter should be brought into public viewl

with heavy freight and large number Of pas
sengers bound for Cincinnati, when near the
head of Island SO, struck a snsg or stump and
sank in two minutes. The cabin parted from the
hull and the latter went.down ia about 90 feet

in breaking from the hull, separated In the mid
die, which doubtless was the cause Of many q
the cabin passengers saving their lives Ths
ladies in the cabin were all saved. After suffering
many hours in the water, they were enabled 70
get ashore az the plantation of a Mr.. Carter. The
forward portion Of the cabin, including the fix.
lures, foated down to the head of Island 50, where
il grounded.
About p. II. the "Peytona' came along and
took the passengers on board from that part Of the
wreck, when she proceeded with all possible haste
20 the other portion of the wreck. where she took
all on board with the exception Of Captain Jones
and his family, Mr.. Wilson, the mate, aud a few
others. Owing to the time of her sinking, every
one being asleep, and it being so sudden, few
were able to get sufficient clothing to cover them
selves, and m ny Of them are indeed IN most
destitute condition.
From Capt Shacross and others we make up
the following summary of persons on the boat
and the number saved. The number on board

Every sea has been crimsoned by blood, and n
