ington correspondent Of the New York Cou-
rier thus writes Of the Ohio swarm:
As u matter Of course there Is much dis
satisfaction growing out Of the treatment Of
persons or populations seeking Offices. The
entire Democratic delegation in Congress
from Ohio have for ten days vhinly sought
an interview with the President, to lay be-
fore him their grievances and their expecta-
lions Of redress. Ohio went for the Wing
candidates in 1874 and for Cass in ls4s; and
since Taylor's Inauguration has been repre-
scented in the Cabinet by Mr.. Ewing and Mr..
Corwin, Wings not likely to neglect their
political friends. The consequence has
been, that while the Democrats have had a
majority in the State for three years, all the
valuable federal Offices have been in the
hands of Wings. AS Doctor Odds, the
butcher of his party, expressed himself at
the Jackson Dinner, "They, the Democrats,
can't stand this no longer, and are so darncd
internal hungry that not a crum must be
suffered to drop, nor a wing to lick around
the kitchen door" The case is critical and
demands prompt political surgery. The
delegation therefore naturally feel bad that

John w A D D l..
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1853-05-22

Eshed among the Assembly documents Of the 10th
session, is comprised in bulky volume OF nearly
nine hundred pages, and embodies complaints not
only against the subordinates OF Commissioner Bis
sells division, but also against himself.
The committee in this case alleged that under the
Commissioners directions and without the authority
OF law an entire new canal had been excavated ana
completed near Black Rock quarry, as Bu1aio, the
cost Of which TO the State amounted to over seven
teen thousand dollars. They charge the engineer,
Mr. John ID. Fay, with completely in this " violation
of law and award to him an almost equal share Oh
the blame. Stronger language could scarcely have
been used than is employed by the committee to-
wards these functionaries. -
In the course of this investigation 1t appeared that
the Canal Commissioners Of that day passed over
the canals not more than two or three times during
each season, and then only in cursory manner"
II was shown that quantity OF gravel bad been
purchased by the snpennt St IA and .haa ihe
exceeded the value OF the farm upon which it was
found.
There was q grave accusation of peculation, by
means of false check rolls OF the work performed by
the aborers.
II was maintained that large quantities of lumber
purchased for the Genesee Valley Canal had mys-
teriously disappeared-had been purloined and sold
by persons in the neghborhood OF the work, &c, &c.
Now here were materials enough sure for almost
any amount Of punishment; and, from the serious
nature of the allegations, it will be supposed, OF
course that the offending Commissioner was at once
impeached and put upon his trial. Quite the con-
trary. Mr.. Bissell was a decided and active barn
burner, and the investigating com mittee brought no
resolution of impeachment against him. Whatever
were their motives they were right.
Doubtless this Commissioner exceeded his powers
in several instances but it was evident that III most
Of the cases he had merely been deceived BY the
superintendent and others directly upon the works.
. As member of the Canal Board, the Commissioner
is obliged to be at Albany almost continually and
were he exempt from that attendance, he must pos
sess the power of ubquity who could overlook every
structure and repair upon his division oener than
once in eight weeks. Every circumstance connected
with the attempted impeachment OF Mr.. Mather is
contributing to show that your correspondent was
right in speaking of it from the beginning po-
litcal maneuvre designed much more to have effect
upon the next Democratic State Convention, than
upon the present Senate and Assembly.

CHARGE OF ATTEMPT TO MURDER ON THE HI(

CHARGE OF ATTEMPT MURDER ON THE HIGH
SEAS.
JULY 5.-Peter Gibbs, colored man, steward or
the ship John Wade, Of Boston, was arrested by the
Marshal on charge of attempting TO murder James
H. Little the captain Of that vessel on the 10th OF
February, while on her last voyage from Canton to
this port. 1t appears that the captain called the
steward and ordered him to arrange one of the state
rooms he refused to do it, The captain took hold of
him, to compel him, upon which the steward drew a
pistol with dirk attached to it, and endeavored to
stab the captain. The mate hearing the noise walk
ed to the cabin door, upon which the steward made
plunge at his (the mate's) Breast the mate in en-
deavoring to guard himself, received stab in the
second finger OF the left hand. The steward then
ran forward to the forecaste, below deck. The mate
took cutlass and followed him, and the prisoner
pointed tbepisol at him. and threatened to shoot him
II he approached. The mate stopped in tho FORE
castle until the captain went and armed himself with
his pistols and came and ordered the steward TO go
on deck AZ first he refused, but afterwards said il
the captain would go on deck first he would
follow him. The captain went on deck the
steward sprang over the Jolly boat, then into his
own room which is forward the main hatch; the cap
tain and mate followed him, and the carpenter came
with lantern; the captain then caught the steward,
who endeavored to stab him; he then dropped the
pistol, which picked up; they then put irons ON
the steward, aud kept him confined until they ar
rived in New FORK. which was for a period of five
months. The pistol, which was loaded to the mouth,
has spring dirk five inches long attached to it.
IL alo appears that the 3lst Of January previous
the steward refused to work, and on that occasion
drew knife on the captain, and attempted to stab
him. Gibbs has been committed for examination.
