Steam Boat Explosions.

] Our readers doubtless remember the case
of the steamer New World which exploded at
the dock in New York July /, and thus
caused the death of several persons. The
coroncr'S jury ut the time, believed the
bursting Of the fuc to be ,cntirclv accidental
and nnIorSccn,' and they cxculpatcd - all
the officers Of said boat Of every blame what
ever"
Not little was said too, by some of the
boat hands, about the probability of the in
jury being chargcable in some way to Il severe
thunder storm which had occurred not long
before, though not Il particle of evidence
was offered to sustain absurd an opinion
The Board of Inspectors, under the late t.
). law, have been investigating the case,
and what is the result : In substance this
that every gage on the boiler was out of ordcr,
and in such Il condition as to show IA much
less pressure than really existed - that
whereas the certificate of the former inSpcc-
tors said the boilers might be safe with Il
pressure of - pounds to the inch. the escape
valves were loaded SO that they could not lift
with less than from Is to 81 pOunds-that
there was no lightning about the casc-that
it was testified that the fires were heavier
than uSual-that the bursting was caused by
excessive pressure of stcam-that they be-
licycd there was 10 lbs. pressure at the time
The Engineer escaped criminal prosccu-
ton under the new law, only by the fact,
that the undue loading of the valves which
led to the explosion, was bctorc a certificate
was granted under that law, although it had
been applied for.
We doubt not that in ninety nine eases out
of IL hundred if not all, Il sufficient scrutiny
would show that steam engine explosions are
chargcablc to gross carclcSSncSS or ignorance
somewhere. \ steam engine has not Il will
of its own. 1t cannot get up an explosion
out of spite, or from pcrvcrsity, as wilrul

The Wing Party in Vermont-P Present
Condition,

For many years the Wing party has had (;
heavy lrcpondcrancc in the Vermont Lcris
Iaturc Last year their majority was not 5,
great as before; but it was decided am,
reliable one, Practically V, rs well as nomin
ally, they had the control in the Senate an,
in the House ofRcprcsontativos. and of cours,
ON joint ballot, when any question arcs,
where party lines made division.
The case is altered now. In the Scnat,
they have, at best, but very small majority
In the House and on joint ballot their orro

shall please to act together in the cgsatur,
as they have acted, for the most part. at the
polls, the Wigs must 70 to the wall when
ever question Of party character is to be de-
cldrd. 1t is true, that owing to the unusual
influences which this year concuIrcd to elect
many of the members, it can not he lorctold.
how all of them will vote ON all such oucs-
tionS. There will he no cause for wonder
however, if some individuals, who see in their
day dreams bright visions of honor and in
ilu"nrr for themselves resting ON the co,li-
ton which they helped to form. shall find them
aS unSubstantial as the land which the sailor
often fashions to his hopes out of Il fog bank

But we leave all doubtful action to resolve
ltSrli, as 1t may, when the time comes.
neither our readers take it for granted, that
those who hunted in couples will agree in the
division OF the prey, or may Relieve that the
weaker ally will find its claims set aside with
contempt by thc-Strongcr, now that the victory
Is gained, is all the same for our present
purpose.
- great change in the position of the
wing party in this state demands serious
inquiry, as to its causes and to its consc-
qucnrcS. The Wings of this state want to
know why they were defeated. The Wigs
oil other states want to know it also. If the
causes OF their defeat are once clearly seen.
1t Will be easier to judge whether that defeat
Is to prove AN absolute and permanent one.

which shall insure recovery of its position
at an early day.
Before We speak of the causes of the Wings
present inferior position, we will dispose of
some things to which it will DE charged but
without amy good reason.
First then, tine wing party will not be in
the minority in the legislature, bccaus there
are fewer wings or more democrats in the
State than there were last year or the year
before. Has there been amy thing in the con-
duct of the democratic party for the past few
years, either i'll this State or in the concerns
OF the nation at large, which should lead II
single sound hearted and clear headed wlig
to change his party position,-to leave the
wing and to enrol himself in the democratic
ranks Is there amy special thing proposed
to be done by the party which can give it
any new attraction for II whigl We have
heard of none.
