The DIsAsTER ON THE NORTH RIvER.-The ter
ribe Disaster to the Henry Clay is the principal
topic in the New York papers, and the inoignation
against those whose rccklessness caused it is
strongly and bitterly expressed. The surviving
passengers have adopted strong resolutions Of cen
sure, aud soliciting evidence from all quarters,
with view OF having legal investigation OF the
whole matter, and to bring the responsibility home
to Of the officers of the boat The further the
investigation goes, the more evident 1t becomes
that the racing was commences and carried on, TO
its frightfui termination, with the cognzance and
under the direction Of those who had charge of the
boat. That both boats were doing their utmost to
beat each other, admits of no doubt if human ties
timony is to be believed; and as both incurred the
same risks. each is equally culpable. The fact Of
one escaping without any accident does not at oil
to escape the responsibility attached to il The
OF the press, 1t is TO be hoped, will induce
thorough investigation Of the facts, and prompt
application of the law, one step towards a cor
recion of an evil which proves terrible In its
results.
But some of the newspapers we see are not die
posed to acquit the public altogether from share
in the guilt IL ia notorious that the fastest boats
always the most encouraged, and that the
spirit Of emulation which racing excites lie usually
largely entered into by passengers. They exult in
the triumph, and praise the boat that beats, little
considering that such victory may cause hun
dreds of lives to be sacrificed. The public should
be consistent. and what they go loudly condemn
when disaster accompanies it, sbould not be laudcd
praise worthy and proper emulation when no evil
results from the practice. Philadelphia Ledger.
