From the Practical Christ!an
A DARK PROSPECT FOR KANSAS.

The election in this new Territory, for Delegate
to Congress- has taken place, and General Whit
field, the prO-Siare,y candidate, has triumphed over
all opposition and by an overwhelming majority
This result appears to have been secured partly
through fraud, the Missourans having poured into
the Territory in great numbers, simply to vote
though many of them had no legal right to do so.
But then, even without this foreign aid, the slave
power would have probably carried the election,
having been ready to put forth vigorous exerious,
and to use their money to this end
"The Emigrant Aid Society seems to us tC
have been an aid society chiefly in name; and We
fear that many who have gone out under its ausp
ces carried but very little genuine Anti-Slaycry
with them We were confidently told that
was to be a prdcticaP movement not mere talk
ing Anti Slavery one, like Garrsonianism and
that the work Of Freedom would be done up, iol
Kansas, at least instanter but our dependence is
still on "GarrsonianiSm" the hope of oul
country. We are sorry that Slavery has triumphed
in Kansas, but we are not surprised and we eX-
pect that it will triumph everywhere, unless New
England can be awakened to more Anti-Slayery
life. Slavery is fast eating out the hcaH of the
multitude Of both rich and poor. Blessed arc
they who can only save their own souls from the
contamination; still more blessed are they who
can, IN any measure turn back the tide of desp,
tism that threatens us. They will have their re-
ward.--W. II. +.

If Friendship, none would slight thee,
And Fortune prove less blinds

And not care beyond.

Come, learn, and twill require ye

Oh. what world Of beauty

If man but did his duty,
And helped his brother man.

And love divine enlighten

If man but did his duty

DUTIES OF CREWS AND PRIVILEGES
OF PASSENGERS.

The abandonment Of the steamer Arctic, and
the desertion Of the passengers by the crew,
have attracted the attention Of sea captains
and commercial men, as well as the travelling
community, to the subject Of the relation that
subsists between crews and passengers. The
duties and responsibilities Of the former, and
the privileges Of the latter, are defined by Judge
Baldwin in the case Of the United States
against Holmes, Wallaces Reports, for the fol-
lowing statement Of which, we are indebted TO
the New York cypress:
Judge Baldwin lays il down that the officer,
and crew stand in a different relation to each
other, from that which they hold to the pas
seugers, since they have contracted to encoun
Ter the hardships and perils Of the voyage, and
10 protect the passengers against these, as IL
any other case Of the duties of common carriers
Nor can this relation be changed when the shiJ
is lost by tempests or other dangers Of the
seas, and all on board have taken TO the small
boats for imminence Of danger cannot absolve
from duty. Should the emergency become Sc
extreme as TO call for q sacrifice of life, the
captain and sufficient number Of seamen 10
navigate the boat must be preserved, but il
there be more seamen than are necessary for
this purpose, the sailors should give way to the
preservation Of the passengers--not the pas.
sepgers to the sailors. Sailor and sailor may
struggle with each other for the plank which
can save but one, but if it be passenger who
is on the plank, the law of necessity even does
not Justify the sailor who deprives him Of it.

Disposition of the MeDonosh succession.

The New Orleans Della says: Assistant
Alderman Levy has offered resolution in the
board Of assistants, which contemplates divi.
sion in the property bequeathed to the cities Of
Baltimore and New Orleans, so as to give each
city the entire control Of its share of the legacy
The resolution further provides that the income
from the property, or from its sale or lease,
which viii fall TO this city, shall be invested in
the purchase of the stock Of the water works
corporation, so as to give the city the entire
ownership and management of that establish.
ment Having control of these works, the cor
poration can extend them, SO as to supply every
part Of the city with water, only exacting small
compensation from citizens who use it for pri.
vate purposes, thereby furnishing a reliable
income, which would be applicable to the char.
tiles contemplated by Mr.. McDonogh. We
hope that this subject will occupy the early and
prompt attention Of our city Legislature. The
executors Of Mr.. McDonogh are ready and will
ing to hand over the estate, and cooperate in
any wise and judicious arrangement for the in
vestment Of the proceeds of the estate. Our
council could be much better employed in such
matters as this, than in the silly wrangles
about paltry Offices.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED RIO JAYEIRo,
August 20, lS54.-Mr. Joseph Maxwell, the
senior partner Of the wsll-known house Of
Maxwell, Wright Il Company, died on the 18th
instant, at halfpast one o'clock, p. m, at his
country seat, near this city. Mr.. Maxwell, at
the time of bis death, had reached nearly the
age of fourscore and ten, and would, in all
probability, have passed that age, had he not
some ten days previous 10 his death, fallen
down the steps leading from his counting-room
TO the lower story of his warehouse; he re-
ceived, by this fall, slight wound on his leg
q short distance below the knee. The wound
at the time, was not considered, either by his
friends, relations, or physicians, as serious.
Erysipelas snpervened, and this good old man,
surrounded by sympathizing friends and be-
reaved relatives, passed down the "dark valley
of the shadow of DEATH
Mr.. Maxwell was a native of Gibraltar. At
the age OF thirtyseven, he emigrated to the
Brazils, and has been resident Of this city for
forty-hve years. In connection with his old,
longtried and valued friend, Mr.. William II.
DC. Wright of Baltimore, Maryland, he estab-
lished the commission house Of Maxwell,
Wright Company, whose reputation is so
well known in our country, in this, and in Eu-
rope, as being one Of the wealthiest, largest,
and best conducted in the commercial world,
and composed Of accomplished merchants of
the highest character and sternest integrity.
His funeral, the largest that has ever taken
place in this city, was attended by citizens Of
all countries; and every American citizen in
Rio, who could be, was present. Commodore
Salter, Capt Mercer, and the officers Of the Sa-
ysnnah, the acting u. s. consul, and most Of
the captains Of the United States merchant
vessels in port were present, all Of whom, con.
sui and captains, as q testimonial Of their re-
spect for the deceased, had their flags at half

MOB LAW AND MURDER IN MAINE.


The death of the unfortunate Mr.. Bapst Ia
German Catholic priest) in consequence Of the
outrage committed on him by lawless and vio-
lent men on Saturday last, at Ellsworth, Maine,
has awakened general Indignation The
particulars We give in another place. No sat
isiactory reason is assigned for the brutal con-
duct of his prosecutors and murderers. The
Bangor Journal ascribes it to the influence Of
a newspaper called the Ellsworth Herald, but
the motive of that newspaper is not clearly in
dicated.
1t matters not, however, what may be the
motive that led to the act. 1t may have been
committed from personal malice it may have
been committed in the wantonhess and aban-
don of drunken frolic, or it may have been
committed on account of the foreign birth, and
the religious profession of the unhappy subject
of it. Let the motive be what it may, it was
one Of the most brutal, cruel, and audacious
outrages that we have ever been called on to
chronicle.
We fear that it was the result Of that fanat.
cal excitement that now unhappily prevails
throughout the country, and that leads SO
many ignorant, bigotta5, and misguided zealots
to deeds of violence and blood. 1t is, indeed,
deplorable that, in this free country, and in the
enlightened nineteenth century, innocent men
should be plundered, tarred and feathered, and
murdered on account Of their foreign birth
and religious opinions. Such may not have
been the actuating motives in this melancholy
case, and we sincerely hope that it may turn
out otherwise.
