Loss OF LIFE BY SHIPwREcK. A
statement prepared for the New York
Daily Times. makes an aggregate OF lS-
80 human lives lost at sea during the
year 1888, by the wreck Of 80 vessels
The largest losses We're $40 persons on
the ship Ncsree, 300 on the ship Annie
lane, 264 on the ship Lady Evelyn,
l5o on the steamship San Francisco,
the same number OH the screw steam

Stafordshlre, and 1912 on Dutch steam
err in the Zuyder Zee. The whole num-
her OF sea vessels lost during the year
according to this statement, was 10;
besides 20 fishing smacks, making in
all 1870. In the loss of life, as given
above, the loss on board the coas'ing
vessels is not included These it is
thought, would raise the total to 1924.

New Hampshire.

1t appears by the following extract from
the N. H. Patriot, that the wings and aboli-
tionists of that State, together with those dis
affected democrats who blame General Pierce
for recognizing men who were free-soilers in
l648 as worthy of democratic fellowship in
1853, are preparing for coalition TO defeat the
democracy. Mr.. Burke and his sympathisers
against the administration, who have such
horror Of the l64S free sellers, it seems now
seek abolition embrace as well as that Of the
wings. The Patriot says = @tt
"PREPARING TO UNITE. 1t is becoming
daily more apparent that ihereis perfect IN
derstanding and concert of action among the
leaders of all the various factions opposed to
the democracy in this State, and thai they are
preparing to unite all the odds and ends Of fac
ton, and all the isms of the day in a desperate
effort 10 get control of the legislature, Wing
gerry, abolitionism, temperance, and disaffection
in our own ranks, are all to be united with
view to overthrow the democracy and send TO
the United States Senate two men 10 oppose
the administration and 10 misrepresent the peO-
pie of New Hampshire. The New Hampshire
Gazette says il hears Of arrangements now be-
ing entered upon for this purpose between the
wings and free-solers, and We have no doubt
we shall soon see this game openly avOwed IN
all parts of the State where it is practicable to
play it with success. Our friends must make
up their minds 10 meet these combinations and
coalitions in every town and district where
there is any prospect of thus eheciing anything.
We have no fears of the success of this game,
provided our friends take proper measures 10
defeat it; and we call their attention TO the
subject only TO warm them that their enemies
of all stripes are al work, secretly and vgor
ously, to re-enact the scenes of 1916. Let the
democracy bear in mind that the next legisla-
ture is to elect two United States Senators,
and that their opponents will spare no efforts
to secure coQtrol of it. Bearing this in mind,
their duty will appear plain. They must meet
the efforts Of the enemy with corresponding
vigilance and activity and, disregarding all
other issues, they must rally unitedly and Wig
orously TO maintain their own ascendency and
TO secure the continued triumph of their
cause

parties.
The only element that enters into its compo-
sition, other than those that are purely polti-
cal, seems to me to be infdelity; and in proof
that this does enter into il. and enter into it
largely. Ineed only refer to the speeches and
resolutions made and adopted at the meeting
Of "the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery
Society,"" and I see not why the rule Of scrip
ture does not apply with as much truth and
force to this, as to other associations and to in
dividuals :-"By heir fruits shall ye knos
them" Indeed. when viewing the subject in
all its bearings, and analizing it SO as TO get at
its elements cannot well avoid the conclusion
that practical abolition is little else than rank
infdelity and in support of this conclusion. I
refer to the published opinions and declarations
Of its oldest and ablest advocates.
Such are my own yisws and such the rea-
sons why cannot consent to the union of the
temperance cause with politico-abolition.

The Acre 'Grab Game"

One Of the "grab games" expected TO be
put through during the present session Of Con-
gress, is the grab of the public acres or the
distribution of The public lands among the
States. The land bill introduced into the
House by Mr.. Bennett Of New York on Sat
urday, is somewhat different from that intro
duced in the last Congress. 1t provides for
the donation TO each State except Texas, of
$50 900 acres for each Senator and Represen-
tative, and proposes to cede 10 all the new
States except Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois,
which have already received liberal grants,
| 800, 900 acres in addition; and to the States
of Ohio and Indiana, all The public lands with
in their limits. An grants in The new States
are 10 be applied TO tbs construction Of rail-
roads, but the lands donated to the older STATES
may be at the discretion Of their Leg islatures,
appropriated to purposes Of education or inter-
nal Improvements.
The success Of this project will afford every
State the "raw MATERIAL for fine game of
speculation. 1t will be particularly beneficial
TO these States whose credit is ruined already.
This is one of the big schemes of robbing the
government, and il will be pushed on by strong
men. We hope Congress will strangle the
thing, and keep the lands where they and
ought to be, under the control of The general
government.

The Case of Clnnrh

We stated in our last that the Governor of
Massachusetts had appointed Friday, the 26th
day OF April next, for the execution of James
Clough, convicted Of the murder of Gideon
Manchester. As the. law Of Massachusetts,
under which the time has been fixed for the
execution of this criminal, is similar 20 the
law Of our own State, and as one or more in
dividuals are now in our own State PRISON,
subject to the same penalty when the Governor
shall appoint the day, the reasoning OF Gov.
ernOr Clifford of Massachusetts, issuing the
warrant for the execution of sClough will be
read with interest In his communication to
the executive committee of that State, he
! says -
To you, gentlemen, who know with what
anxious consideration have Ondeavored to as
certain precisely what my official duty required
of me in this painful case, and my Determines
ton to be governed in its discharge by the con-
clusoh 10 which l might consceniously ar
rive, need not say that | should have been
unspeakahly gratifed to have been led to diff
fercnt result Ii would have been TO me a
source Of the highest satisfaction If, during my
brief administration Of the responsible functions
of this office, could have been spared the me-
cessity Of determining question like this
But this satisfaction ] could not purchase by
conscious want of fidelity 10 any trust had
assumed, without surrender of my own self
respect and the just forfeiture OF the confidence
of others. NJ .-nt tsfr-A.ssr2 iA af-. Tre-
In the case under consideration, | cannot re-
sist the conclusion that it is clearly and plainly
my duty to cause the warrant for the execution
of the sentence. 1t is the sentence ofthe law !;
and not Of The court that pronounced it, or of
the magistrate who causes it 10 be enforced.
The ahroeatiOn or modification of that law is
in other hands than mine. My duty is con-
cerned only with its proper executive. In the
discharge Of this duty, propose 10 leave such
an interval between the issuing Of the warrant
and the time of lis execution, as will enable
the Legislature, if it sees fit, 10 give 10 this
convict the benefit Of any change in the law, if
any change is deemed by them 10 be expedient.
With your advice and consent, therefore, 4
shall cause warrant TO issue TO the sheriff of
the county Of Bristol, commanding him to cause
to be executed The sentence under which James
Clough now stands convicted for the murder of
Gideon Manchester, on Friday, The 29th day
of April next, unless he shall be, in the mean
time. discharged from that duty by the utter
position Of the executive, or by operation Of

Sickness among Enigrants.

A Committee of the u S. Senate has ad-
dressed letters Of inquiry 10 different persons
supposed TO be acquainted with the subject, re-
speeding the extent, causes, &C., of the NOR
tality prevailing on board immigrant ships

the topic, especially by northerner, would
not arouse the indignation of the South, and
elicit very portentous references to the resolu-
tons of 80 and the sacred right of selfde-
fence. Thecompromise measures were passed
for the express purpose Of putting an end to
the agitationof the subject, and we have been
solemnly assured in various public documents,
from the President's message down to Tam
many Hall pronunciamientos, that matters
were so fixed ,Qao, that any further discussion
of sslaverYwas quite out Of the question; and
yet Mr.. Gerritt Smith finds no difficulty in
drawing distinguished southern gentleman into
an elaborate and protracted argument upon the
general 'issue-as to whether slavery is right
or wrong. And, SO far, we do not see that
any special damage has been done thereby
The Union is probably soiperfectly safe, that,
in the opinion of the South, a little agitation
may be INDUCED in with impunity. We con-
graduate the country upon that very. desirable

N. Y. Custom House Appointments.

Mr.. Redfeld, the New York Collector, has
been very severely censured, but unjustly, for
his appointments since the removal of Mr..
Bronson. The facts in relation his appoint
ments, are triumphant refutaton OF the mis-
representations resorted to By Mr.. Redfeld's
enemies to excite prejudice against him.
The Washington Union says the facts in
this case are that about two hundred and six
ty appointments were made by Judge Bron-
son. These, it is well known, were taken
almost exclusively from one section Of the
democratic party of that State. About ninety
appointments have been made by Mr.. Red
field; of these more than three-fourths were
the supporters of Gen. Cass for the presiden-
cy in 1913, all since 1849 have been national
democrats, and subscribers to the Baltimore
platform.
Not single appointment made by Judge
Bronson has been disturbed by Mr.. Redfeld.
Even the deputies, and the cashier appointed
by Judge B., (his own sony have been con-
tinued by Mr. r. Does this look like pro-
scriptionl

The Slavery Agitation.

lhe debate which has taken place in the
house OF Representatives within the last few
days. involving the slavery question, is attrac-
ting notice and calling forth suggestions which
may well be studied. Of this character is the
following brief article from the New York
Times - e,.t
The Union must be pretty safe just now,
Judging from the fearIessness with which
southern members of Congress enter upon a
calm, deliberate, and augmentative agitation Of
the slavery question, on the invitation of Ger

Annexation Of the Sandwich Islands.

Mr.. Washburn, member of Congress from
the Penobscot District in this State, made
speech the other day in the House Of Repre-
sentatives in favor Of annexation Of the Sand
witch Islands. Mr.. Washburn's remarks upon
this subject afford another evidence that the
wing party is finally waking up TO the true
ideas Of American progress. Mr.. w. said =
He was not one Of those who thought our
chief business consists of adding to our terri
torial possessions, and he was not of that
school which advocates the doctrine of over
running the territories Of other nations and
seizng upon the soif he was not however,
opposed to all the increase of territory. 1t
was inevitable, however, that we are to re-
ceive new members into the confederacy, but
everything should be in order, and at the prop
er time. When our social and political con-
dition requires the annexation of new states,
and our prosperity is promoted thereby, then
he was for annexation. He then gave rapid
history of the Sandwich Islands, referring to
the quality and production of the soil, the NOR
ais of the people and their social and political
condition generally, arguing in favor of the ad-
vantages of both of them and to us by annexa-
tOn. having eSSayed 10 SHOW There dIe HidHy
reasons why we should consent to the annexa-
ton Of those islands, if the people desire it,
and met objections on this subject, he addressed
a few words to the conservative feeling of the
country as to the fears expressed by many,
that in an extension of territory, our contede7
racy would necessarily become weaker. He
entertained no fears dNotT dnnerdtiOnS hare
added 10 0ln' national strength, and when the
Sandwich Islands are annexed and the Pacific
railroad built, they then would be as near to
Washington as some of the most distant states
were when they were admitted into the Union.
