Unseaworthi ness Of the san Francisco.

The New York Tribune, in commenting
on the loss of the San Francisco, says:
alt is perfectly apparent that the gale
which wrecked the San Francisco and
occasional this lamentable loss of life
was no more severe than every sloop that
goes around Cape Cod is often called to
encounter, and a pilot-boat or an every
day West Indiaman that would not have
weathered it IN safety would be unfit for
her business. What is to be explained.
therefore, in the case ofthe San Francisco
is this broacling to, which was the pri-
mary and sole cause of the disaster. 1t
is plain that it arose from one Of two
causes. Either the ship was badly made
or badly trimmed. She would not steer
in a gale of wind. This is the great fact
towhich this calamity is to be attributed.
Who is to blame for this, or whether any
one is especially culpable, we have now
no means of knowing, for we are in pos
session of no facts or intimations beyond
those disclosed in the record. But it is
most remarkable circumstance if no
suspicious were excited, and no pedic-
tons of disaster hazarded, based upon
the construction or trim of this ship
when she proceeded to sea. If there
were none, it will very much lessen our
respect for the opinion of mariners and
nautical men in regard to the conditions
requisite to insure the safety of ship at
sea-"
The Day Book continues in reference
to the remarks of the Tribune, thus:
There were predictions, before the
San Francisco went to sea, that she
would never reach the Straits of Magel
Ian. Her model was different from any
other steamer, being straight up on the
sides and setting deep in the water, and
so shaped that it was impossible to keel
her time except under very heavy bal
last. In other words, the San Francisco
was an experiment. 1t was tried and
has failed"

sP1Rls OF TIE MORNING PRESS.

The Inteliigencer contains little editorial
to-day, its columns being devoted to pro-
ceedings Of Congress, accounts of the
San Francisco steamship disaster, and
other news. The editor, however, takes
occasion to urge the propriety of speedily
passing the bills-to increase the pay of
the Army, to increase the efficiency of the
Army, and to create an Army retired
list-which General Shields, yesterday,
introduced into the Senate.
The Union, evidently on The authority
Of the Superintendent of the Census,
shows that the Hon. Mr. Eastman, in his
recent criticism upon that work, is in
error in attributing to it erroneous &C
counts of the population and subdivisions
of Grant county, in Iowa. The Union
further sees, in recent very interesting
Cuba letter to the New York Times,
(which it republishes,) strong confrma-
ton of its views On the Africanization-o
Cuba scheme. The letter in question is,
indeed, startling. Mr.. Richardson, of
Illinois, addresses to the Union card, in
refutation of a paragraph in Washing
ton letter to the Charleston Courier,
which, he eonceives, points q shaft at the
memory of the lamented Col. Hardin, in
the assertion that he lost his life through
disobedience of General Wool's orders.
Col. BisSell joins him in his indignant
statement. ------
The Sentinel quotes and approves a
strong article from the Boston Post,
seconding the views of Secretary Dobbin,
relative to the reorganization Of the Navy.
The same journal contains a series Of
letters from persons sympathizing with
the political course of its conductors,
wherein the Union receives a quontum
sHtFcit of independent support"

QUIs OF TuRGoT.-The Conaituionnel
says:--The accounts received from Mad.
rid by the family Of the Marquis de Tur.
got, continue to be of satisfactory na-
ture. His health has much improved,
and his wound received in the recent
duel with Mr.. Soule, is now advanced to.
wards cure.
The Paris correspondent Of the London
Chronicle writing on Dec. %, says: 1T
has been very currently reported to day,
that a Geographic despatch has been re-
ccivcd from Madrid, announcing that a
third duel had taken place in consequence
of the unhappy affair at NJ. de Turgot's
ball. The principals on this occasion
were the Duke of Alba and Mr.. Soule, the
father of the combatant i'm the first duel.
The despatch is said to state that MIR.
Soule is killed. Twas in hopes that there
was no truth in the report, as l had seen
a gentleman who had spoken to Mr.. Mer-
cicr, (Mr. Soule's brother-in-law,) this
morning, who had said nothing on the
subject, and who certainly would have
done so if he had been in possession oil
any such intelligence. But since then |
have just learnt that, at dinner party
given at the palace of the Tuilerics last
evening, the Emperor himself stated to
the Grand Duchess of Baden that he had
received despatch to that effect. 1t is
still to be hoped that the report may turn
out to be incorrect, and l only mention
it because the subject has obtained great
deal too much notoriety. therefore give
the reports as they have reached me.

Affairs in Asia.


Of the victories claimed by the Rus
slams in Asia nothing was known at Con-
stantinoplc OH the 10th December. and
we still owe all our information, wheth-
er true or false on the subject, to Russian
bulletins. The despatch forwarded by
General Beboutof to Prince Woronsoff,
giving heightened account of the battle
of Basch kadyk Lar, is already before the
public.
A despatch from Tefies, dating there
from as the head quarters of Prince Wo-
renzoff, has also been published, but be-
ing founded on General Beboutoff7s report
and not bling more authentic, cannot add
to our knowledge of the event.
All these Russian accounts of the bat
ties do full justice, although indirectly,
to the courage of the Turks, and show
that the Ottomans are still brave and
warlike race. 1t is, however, very desi-
rable that authentic intelligence respect
ing the movements of Abil Pacha should
soon arrive as the engagements at Achal-
zick and Basch Kadyk Lar appear to par
take far more of decisive character than
those of which we have hitherto received
accounts from both camps.

The demonstrations made yesterday in both
Houses concerning the affair Of the ill-fated
steamship San Francisco, show that tho sur
vivors need not entertain the slightest appre
hension that Congress will fail at once to make
proper provision for them, as we'll as for those
left widows and orphans by the cad calamity
The rescucrs, too. are destined to receive
proper tokens Of nations gratitude. It will
be rec0llected that when the steamship Pa
ci6c, Captain Nye, rescued the crew of the
British ship Jesse, under circumstances OF
somewhat similar peril and distress, the Eng
hsh Government promptly discharged their
debt Of gratitude in the handsonest manner
We trust that an American Congress will not
suffer ours to be outdone, now that the occa-
sion for following that praisewortby example
has unfortunately go soon offered.

est, TO suspend the passage OF bill whose
merits cannot secure the approval OF two
thirds OF the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatiyes until the Judgment Of the people
can be obtained thereon, and which has
saved the American people from the cor
rupt and tyrannical domination OF the
Bank Of the United States, and.irom
corrupting system Of general internal inn
proyements.
VIII. Resolved, That the Democratic
party will faithfully abide by and uphold
the principles laid down in the Kentucky
and Virginia resolutions of 1893, and in
the report of Mr.. Madison to the Virginia
Legislature in 1799 that il adopts those
principles as constituting one of the main
foundations Of its political creed, and is
resolved to carry them out in their obvious
meaning and import
TX Resolued, That the war with Mex
leo, upon all the principles Of patriotism
and the laws Of nations, was just and
necessary war on orr part, in which every
American citizen should have shown HIM
self on the side of his country, and neither
morally nor physically, by word or deed,
have given "aid and comfort to the
enemy"
X Resolped, That we rejoice at the res
toration Of friendly relations with our sister
Republic Of Mexico, and earnestly desire for
her all the blessings and prosperity which
we enjoy under republican institutions;
and we congratulate the American people
upon the results Of that war, which have
so manifestly justified the policy and con-
duct Of the Democratic party, and insured
to the United States " indemnity for the
past and security for the future"
XII. Resolved, That, in view Of the CON
dition of popular institutions in the Old
World, high and sacred duty is devolyed,
with increased responsibility, upon the
Democratic party Of this country, as the
party Of the people, to uphold and maintain
the rights Of every State, and thereby the
Union Of the States, and to sustain and
advance among us constitutional liberty,
by continuing to resist all monopolies and
exclusive legislation for the benefit of the
few at the expense Of the many, and by a
vigilant and constant adherence to those
principles and compromises of the Con-
stitution which are broad enough and
strong enough to embrace and uphold the
Union as il was, the Union as it is, and
the Union as it shall be, in the full expan-
sion Of the energies and capacity of this
great and progressive people.
