FUNNY CASE OF A STEAMBOAT SINKING
The New York Journal OF Commerce, of the
LIST inst, gives the following rich narration of
the sinking of steamer:
Night before last the steamer Buffalo was
to start from the foot of Robinson street, with
deck load of freight, ard about 400 German
emigrants, bound for Albany; some carpen-
tiers being at work at the tine below the FORE
castle deck, the ports of which were left open
to admit light. In the confusion attendant
upon the embarcation of so m any passengers.
when the order to start was given, the emf
grants not understanding the meaning of the
phrase "stand back, you internal swell
head.!" made a simultaneous rush to the side
of the boat nearest the wharf. causing her so
10 careen that the water rushed in at the open
ports, and sank her in her berth. scene of
indiscribable confusion then ensued. One
man who had a trunk containing money,
wished 10 throw it overheard, as he supposed
that would be the best means Of saving it,
and in his eogerness threw his wife instead,
who, as her cap struck the water, sent forth
truly substantial yell in the original tongue.
She was fshed out and carried to shore, drip.
ping, but uninjured. The freight and pas
sengers yesterday were transferred to the
steamer Hero, belonging to the same owners;
and strange to say, just as she had got up
about half sufficient steam, her fue collapsed,
and she also was crippled. The cargo was
then shipped by the Fl. r. r. R., and this
time, perhaps, will escape spilling.

TRANSPARENCY OF THE OcEAS.-In the
course of some remarks made by Commander
Glynn, of the Navy, at the recent meeting
of the American Scientific Association, in
Washington, some interesting facts in rela-
ton to the transparency of the ocean were
stated. Commander Glynn said that the
chief requisite in making observations of this
transparency was perfectly smooth, CLASSY
sea. During cruise Of four years he had
succeeded in making only sixteen observers
worth saving. His method Of experimenting
was to lower white dinner plate horiz ontal-
ly in the water as far as the eve could follow
il. He found that the father he was from
points where earthly matter was washed into
the ocean in large quantities, the clearer the
water was. Thus off Cape Horn, where per-
petual storms stir up the dirt from the regions
around the Pole, he could see only to depth
of ten fathoms, while on the west side of the
Pacific, where the ocean is stillest he could
see the plate twenty-five fathoms below the
surface, which distance he concluded to be
the maxium of visibility. These high and
low points of visibility correspondent with the
highest and lowest points of the waters tenn.

10 Liberty of conscience which the Con-
stitution of the United States guarantees to
all sects, has just been again defeated in tn e
Parliament of Great Britain, which has de-
cided that Hebrews shall not hold seat in
in that body, unless they subscribe upon the
"true faith of a Christian" in taking the
members oath. Lord John Russell endeav.
ored to have this civil disability removed from
the Hebrews, but majority in the House of
four only, defeated the measure. England,
while forcing the Sultan of Turkey to ex-
tend civil equality to his Christian subjects,
denies it TO portion of her own population.

~ Those who rail at poetry and refine
ment as superhuous ingredients in everyday
happiness, little know what main props they
thus seek to undermine. These will abide
when even principles waver. Manly delica'
cy is unnecessary in family life as manly rec
tltude; and 'oomanty tact as womanly virtue
There is as much happiness wrecked from
the absence Of the one as of the other, and
perhaps more. Those who neglect the oar
nishes OF life, commit an insicious sin toward
themselves and these lie in the mind and moi
in the purse.

OF The New Orleans Bulletin, an excel.
lent Wing paper, says that, If VIM. H. Sc
ward were electedPresident, the South would
certainly dissolve forthwith. We have no idea
that the. South would do such deed for such
a cause. If MIR. Seward were President, and
if he should, as President, pursue an out
rageous course toward the South and be sus-
tanned in it by the North, the South might
feel it necessary to Dissolve the Union, but
she would hardly be silly enough to dissov
it simply on account of the election of this,
that, or the other man to the Presidency
Many man might make better Preside mt
than his previous acts and declarations would
lead the people to expect, and many man
might make q worse one.
The editor of the Bulletin does Mr.. Sc.
ward injustice. Mr.. s. is bad enough, but
not SO bad as the Bulletin paints him. That
paper says he is "in favor of The immediate
unconditional abolition Of SLAVERY in all The
Southern States" If he is, he has never said
so. There is not on record a declaration oil
his, public or private, that gives the slightest
countenance to such a charge. He never
declared himself in favor OF the abolition o.
slavery anywhere except in the District o.
Columbia-and there only by gradual pro
cess, upon avote of the people ofthe District
and after full pecuniay compensation to the
masters of the slaves to be emancipated.
We believe that Mr.. Seward, by promot
ing auti-slavery agtations, has done much
harm to the Wing party and much harm Il
the nation, but he is certainly very able
man, whose views upon many subjects
great national interest are sound, and WI
think that no one can read his collecte'
speeches in spirit of candor, without com
ing to the conclusion that there are unfor
tunateiy great many worse people in TIL
world than he.

CITY OF EvANSVILLE.
THURSDAY MORNING,::::::::JULY 1;
Washington SUN VS.. MIR. Carpenter.

washington sun VS. MT S"rPense'.
Some cowardly correspondent of the Sun,
who writes slang and SANDER over the cog
nomen of"PApUcAH," Is venting his fury and
wrath upon Mr. Carpenter and the Straight
Line Railroad, in q manner which bespeaks
the true spirit Of the people of his precinct,
and their interests in the great project against
which his vile stuffis directed. Mr.. Carpen.
ter is denounced as "Yankee nutmeg ven-
DER" and as trying to cheat the honest citi.
zens of Daviess into the support of the said
road.
Now, Mr. Carpenter and his friends con-
slider all such slang as that put forth by
"Paducah," as beneath contempt, and as
harmless as it is contemplate. The facts
are these: The citizens Of Washington de-
sired to have the Straight Line Railroad run
through their town, which would involve an
extra expenditure on the part of the Com
pany of some $4,000; make the crossing at
the Ohio and Mississippi road, 10 feet above
grade and subject the company and the road
to other Inconvenience entirely insconsis-
tent and impracticable.
Yet all these sacrifices were offered them,
provided Daviess county would subscribe TO
the stock of the company to the paltry
amount of 100000, which would at best
only in part indemnify the company against
the extra expenditure.
Now, how far did the people Of Davies
comply with the condition on their part?-
Why, they procured some $1,000 solvent
that the road should be built through theil
town. True, they subscribed more thar
this, but it was in lands at three or four time.
their real value, and could not be accepted
by the company. In fact, their own director
said to the company that the stock subscrib
ed in Daviess was not worth $1,000, al
though nearly four times that amount wa:
upon the books. Such are the claims thai
the people of Daviess actually have upon the
company in question, and upon the accom-
modations which a convenient location
might afford them. We would say to "Padu
cah," that neither Mr.. Carpenter nor any
other member of the company, have any oh
jections to his writing and publishing what
ever he pleases.
The destinies of the Straight Line do no
depend upon SO precarious basis as th
meagre "conditionaP' subscriptions of TIL
county of Daviess, nor does the company
feel at all inclined to impair the character o
the road, to the extent necessary to pleas
the parsimonious cravings of "Paducah" an
his friends

Several instances have recently come to
light, in which stupendous frauds have been
disclosed, by the illegal and fraudulent exer-
else of power, vested in the officers of incor-
porated companies. The Parker Vein Com
pany in New York recently exploded and ex.
posed the fact, that while it had been profess.
ing to operate on q capital Of 10000 shares,
over 100000 shares had been issued. The
fraudulent issue of stock to the extent OF
three times the original capital of the com.
pany, had been carried on without suspicion
for years.
About the same time large over-issue oil
stock was detected in leading railroad com.
pany in Vermont, and it now appears beyond
dispute that similar over-issue has been
detected in the New York and New Haven
railroad company, of which Robert Schuyler
is President. The fraudulent issues ofstock
are made to raise money in pressing emer.
gencies, and the fact that there is at presen,
no means of checking them, unsettles the
whole stock market, and destroys monetary
confidence. The effect of the Schuyler de.
velopment is severely felt in the Wall street
stock market. The feeling of insecurity il
regard to-stock issues has driven some timit
holders to sell stocks Unfortunately, while
there has also been produced stagnatior
among buyers, who prefer to stand still q
few days. Under the state of feeling the
market has naturally dropped, when without
this new disturbing element, the news from
Europe, combined with the improved condi
ton of the banks, would undoubtedly have
caused very buoyant market.
The developments above alluded to hav,
very materially shaken public confidence IL
officers of corporations, yet it is believed
that the panic cannot long exist. The re
Gently discovered frauds will probably prove
guarantee against a repetition of such
frauds for years to come. by inducing great
er caution in entrusting power to the hands
of any one man, and by alarming those iI
positions of trust, who, under temptation
might be induced to yield without this exam
pie of utter ruin before them.

G Judge Corwin, of the Supreme Court
of Ohio, has declared that-the recent liquor
law was not passed in accordance with the
conditions imperatively exacted by the con-
stitution of the State. This decision settles
the question, and, as it declares the law un-
constitutional, renders it imperative.
