very modest view of his capacities and his du-
ties.
Speedily turning up after the outrage and
the danger were over, as if drawn from his re-
treat by the smell of turtle soup and the chink
of champagne glasses, he must needs make
his appearance at certain military dinners, and
there must take occasion, by his praise and
substantial endorsement of the Mayor and the
military, to make himself an accessory after
the fact, to the whole procedure. Suppose
even, as we trust was the case, that in that
unhappy affair, the Mayor and the military
had only conscientiously discharged what they
and the Governor imagined to be their bound
Ell duty; still, surely it was not the sort of
thing to be glorificd in toasts, and to be boast
ed Of over wine bottles. A man might-per-
haps Governor Washburn or Mayor Smith
might-under strong conscientious sense of
duty, scarcely known TO the vulgar, surrender
to the U. 5. Marshal fugitive slave who had
sought refuge III his own house-we have
heard of certain extra. patriotic and con-
scientious individual, who declared his will
lingness to give up his own brother, or as
some say his mother but this certainly is
sort Of duty fittest to be discharged in modest
silence, and by no means suitable subject for
complimentary toasts or glorihcation speeches.
To this topic, just on the eve of the election,
we SnOuIu nOJ nave aQNerteu, out Tor the at
tempt made, apparently by Governor Wash
burns procurement, and on his authority, to
give a false gloss to his conduct on very i'm
rortant occasion; to which we shall only add,
that it certainly was not that conduct-if any
confidence is to be placed in their resolutions
that procured for Governor Washburn the
honor of Wing re- nomination; or which is
likely to procure for him the honor Of re-
election.
?. S. Since the above was written, we find
that the AtlGs has come out with an attempted
justification of Governor Washburn. Itprom-
ises to pursue the matter further and so prob
ably shall we. The atlas, by the way, di-
rectly contradicts the declaration" Of the
Governor, quoted by the N. Y. Independent,
which gave occasion to our notice of the sub
ject. So far from undertaking to assert that
the Governor "knew nothing of the issue of
the writ of replevin, the Atlas states, in terms,
that the Governor, having come to Boston
not, it would seem, to look after the dignity
and rights of the Commonwealth, but to dine

of the existence of that writ, and of the obsta-
cles in the way Of its service.

JusT VERDIcT.-The Poughkeepsie Her.
aid says that in the September Circuit Court
of that district, teacher was arraigned on
charge of cruelty to pupil. 1t was shown
that for some act Of disobedience he had fog
ged girl by the name of Frances Gershom,
II years of age, with a whip, so severely that
black and blue marks were left upon her per-
son for weeks afterwards. The Judge charg-
ed the jury that the teacher stood in the place
of parent and had right to correct pupil
but in so doing must exhibit parents feel
ings; and if he exceeded what was necessary
to preserve order, he was liable for assault
and battery. He further charged that the
means used to preserve order should be adapt
ed to the sex, age and habits of the pupil,
land left it to the Jury to say whether any
possible circumstances would warrant man
whether a teacher CT not, in laying his hands
IN violence or anger on a grown-up girl. -
The Jury found verdict against the teacher
for the sum Of $3.50.

GOVERNOR OF UTAH.-The official term of
Governor Brigham Young, of Utah Territory,
expired on Friday, the 10Th of september
His successor has not been agreed upon, and
| learn that the appointment of one has been
found a matter of considerable difficulty
Young will not be reappointed, but it is we&l
known that no man, not a Mormon, could
govern that lawless ard impious community,
without the material aid of one or two well
appointed regiments. The Secretary of the
Territory, A. w. Rabbit, formerly delegate in
Congress, will direct affairs until the further
action of the President. The political insub-
ordination of these people is as remarkable as
their moral and religious Irregularities. Mr.
Young and his associates have not thought fit
to forward copies of their Territorial laws, or
the accounts of the expenditures of the pub
lie appropriations for the past two years.

STEAMBOAT BURNT-TwENTY-T THREE LIVES
Losr.-The steamer E. X. Collins, which left
here last night, with large number of pas
sengers from Sault st. Marie for Cleveland,
took fire about midnight near Maiden, and
was soon completely enveloped in flames
Great CONSERVATION prevailed among the pas
sengers, most of whom were asleep,and many
of whom plunged into the water. Twenty
three persisted by fire or drowning, Among
the missing are Mr.. Dibbley, of New York,
Samuel Powell, Lawrence Whalon, Thomas
Cook, Pittsburg Railroad Agent, all Of Cleve
land, Mrs. Mcneil, Mrs. Watrous aud child,
of Ashtabula, and fifteen of the crew.
The L. X. Collins took fire on the boiler
deck, and so rapid was the spread of the
flames, that the passengers and crew were UNI
able to save anything, except the clothes they
had on. Immediately on the discovery of the
fire, the boat was headed for the shore, but
was unable to reach shallow water before the
flames had complete possession of her. The
after part of the boat swung round into the
river, and nearly all on board being driven i'll
TO that part of the boat, were compelled to
jump into the water. The current here sets
out very strongly into the lake, and few could
have been saved, had not the propeller Fin
try, Capt. Langley, fortunately seen the light
and fastened to the rescue. All the propel-
lers boats We're manned and sent off, and
nearly every soul saved was through their in
strumentality. The few that reached the shore
were in an exhausted condition. Some wretch
robbed one of the sufferers of $50. The E.
K. Collins came out as a new boat last Octo-
her, and cost $l05, 900, and was owned by
Capt. E. B. Ward, and insured for $l3, 900,
viz $4,000 each in the Mercantile, Mutual,
and Atlas offices, New York city, and $4,000
in the North Western office.

In the case of William Kenney, of Mill

Sarah E, Stockwell was brought up for
burning the barn of Henry H. Wing,at Graf
ton, on the 10Th of July last. Davis & Stod-
dard Esqrs., counsel for the defendant.
Miss Stockwell is is years of age, and is
the daughter of respectable farmer of SUIT
ton. She lived at the time of the arson with
Mr.. Stowe of Grafton. The only positive ev-
idence of the defendants implicitly IN the
crime, were her own confessions to Mr.. Stowe
to Mr.. Wing, and others. She stated to Mr..
Stowe and his vile, that she had committed
some acts of petty mischief to dog, &C., pre-
vious to the incendarism, and that she HAD
finally fred Mr.. Wings barn. On her con-
fession to Mr.. Wing, she stated that she had
no motive whatever for committing the act !;
and that ''The Lord only knows what had
impelled her to do it, Circumstances also
strongly tended to fix the crime on her. She
was seen running from the barn just previous
to the fire breaking out. The defence attempt
ed to show by the &c parte evidence of emf
nent physicians, that, in consequence Of GER
tain physical Irregularities in females, there is
at certain periods, a tendency to mental alb
CREATION and nervous irritation, which often
manifest themselves in fire raising and SINH
lar destructive acts. 1t was proven that Miss
Stockwell is subject to these Irregularities,
therefore, if the proof established Miss Stock

Mr.. Wings barn was the result of that pecu-
liar alteration, which is called pyyomaaia.-
1t was, however, contended on the main is
sue, that Miss Stockwell was not guilty.
The case was argued for the defence, by
Colonel Davis, who made strong appeal to
the sympathies of the jury. The District At
torney repealed all the iInputatons made by
the counsel of desire on the part of the
government to convict the defendant. The
government wished justice to be done. Moth
ing more nothing less.
The case was continued till tomorrow
morning, when the District Attorney will re-
sumo his argument.

other places to witness it. 1t may be seen at
any time during to-day or this evening; but
the most favorable time for beholding it will
be after four o'clock this afternoon, until ten,
during which hours it undergoes those sudden

distinguishing characteristics. We hope that
none Of our citizens who take an interest in
the rare and wonderful creations of nature,
will neglect the opportunities which are now
afforded them of seeing this wonderful flower.
