Such Is the state Of the case as il Low stands on

only On bis own account, but for the credit of our
American seamanship and humanity, that he may be
able to modify it, These coIsions at sea are terri

The report on the charges of corruption in the
Department of Repairs and Supplies, of which
Nathaniel S. Selah is at. the head, came up in the
Board of Aldermen last evening Aid. Herrck
moved to postpone it until January, when the new
Board, strongly Democratic, can strangle it by
large majority. There was so much talk about the
Goodness of this way of hushing up the matter,
that HerIick WINGED, and agreed to postpone
ment until December. AID. Peter Monaghan of
the Fourteenth Ward rushed to the rescue and re-
newed the motion, but he too was shamed out of
il, and withdrew his renewal. At this, Jack Clancy
of the ever-faithful Sixth came up, scolded
Herrick and Monaghan, gave Sixth Ward opinion
of the Public Press" stiffened the backs of the
Democrats generally, and renewed the motion.
Herrick backed round again, and, with Monaghan,
voted for it, 1t was successful. For this heroic
rescue of bis friends Mr.. Clancy will probably be
made President of the new Board Of Aldermen.

ing paragraph:
Gin rniiiuae,phia, Passmore Williamson, Edmund
Schlemm and Moses Hagar have been held to bail
to answer the charge Of conspiracy to libel the Hon.
Vim. b. Read, Mr.. W. b. Rankin and Others
1t would seem from this that one of the first
points of the triumph Of the Buchanan party in
Pennsylvania has been the revival of that system
of legal persecution and oppression Of which Pass
more Williamson has already been so distinguished
a victim.
This abuse of the powers of the law, especially
in connection with prosecutions for libel has always
been fasOrite resort Of the sham Democrats Of
PENNSYLVANIA. For themselves, they carry the lib
erty of the Press-as The Courier formerly did and
The Pennsylranian does nOw-to the utmost ex-
treme Of license, stopping short Of no falsehOods
ard no abuse ftheir political opponents, but pour
ing upon them all that same torrent OF calumny
of which the illustrions Washington was one
of the earliest objects But while claiming for
themselves and freely exercising this extreme of
license, these sham Democrats of Pennsylvania
have never hesitated to Oyerstran and peryert the
law for the purpose Of sealing the newspapers and
up INC vi thcii "PP"hSH' eo"AH's
the utterance of unpaatable truths.
The first person to introduce this system Of epe-
rations into the politics Of Pennsylvania was that
shrewd Democrat and lawyer and inscriptions
intriguer for Ofi.e, ChefJustice Mexican, who,
after be had contrived TO get himself elected and
reelected Governor by the Democrats, was very
Justly described in an electioneering address from
that party against his second reelection as ''s
"demsgogue ready to purchase preferment by max

zeal, but at the same time BY education, SEN

party of his owns" history, BY the way, Of a
Pennsylya intrguer which some Of the Wig
contributors to Mr.. Buchanan's election doubtless
hope TO see again realized in his case. But how
ever much Mr.. Buchanan may resemble old Cover
bor Mexican in bis eager desire Of Office aud his
extraysgant demagogic professions to attain it,
While all the time, by sentiment, education aud

we nave lO-od! a luu ACCOUNT vi tLc io"ii"A 'A~
fatal disaster on Lake Superior, by which some
fifty valuable lives were lost-nearly all those oil
industrious, energetic men in their prime. The &C.
count we copy from The Lake Superior Journal
tells nearly all that can be known, except
the responsible, culpable cause of the calamity;
and that deficiency We proceed to supply.
The steamboat Superior left the Saul Ste. Marie
for the ports above On the Goth of October-a time
of year at and after which Lake Superior is subject
to fearful storms and gales and is b.rely navigable
by the staunchest vessels. Of this class, the Supe
ricr clearly was not. The wind was only elbow
sing fresh from the northwest raising heavy
"sea," when the captain-whO appears to have
understood his business and done his whole duty
evidently knowing that his craft was unfit for such
navigation, made for the lee of Grand Island. Be-
fore he could reachi it, however, "hs rudder parted
it was unequal even to the task of running Tor
place of safety in fresh north.wester. In short,
the Superior was paper vessel, fit to navigate
Lake Wlnnpsiogee or St. Clair in June calm, but
utterly unequal to the task of steming the waves
of Lake Superior in even a moderate gale. The
rudder being gone, the vessel was unmanageaole,
"swupg round into the trough Of the sea- very
naturally, and was torn to pieces, the waves dash
ing over her, putting out her furnace-6res, driving
her On all iron-bound coast, breaking her up and
drowning most of her passengers and crew. The
blame of this affective casualty rests on the owners
who sent out an old and fra steamboat on a voyage
morally certain to test the strength and worth of
frstclass vessel.
OF course they had no moral right to do this.
No matter though the passengers were willing to
take the Iiskit not their business to know the
capacity and tenacity Of the Superor-lt nas the
business of those who sent her the voyage to I'M
dcrstond them thoroughly If they had no vessel
fit TO navigate that stormy Lake in November, they
should have sent none out. We have known Lake
Superior steamboat lie behind point for the better
part Of day, because of a sea which Long Island
Oyster-scOw would not have minded. Eight or nine
years ago there was not steamboat on that Lake
fit TO navigate it IN june one that could be sent
Oh voyage late in October without manifest peril
to all on board We had presumed that great im-
prOyement in the character of these vessels had
since been made until this disaster came to unde-
ceive us. Let us hope that no such man.trap as
this Superior will be set on that Lake next year.
If the trade will not support at least one fit and safe
steamboat, let us go back to the little sailing craft
which, when they could no longer be kept aaoat
could at least be run so well ashore that most o
their inmates could wade thence to dry land.

The vessel that did such fatal damage to the
unfortunate steamer Lyonnas proves to have been
the bark Adratic, Capt. Durham, bound from
Belfast, Me-, to Savannah. As the case stands at
present, the Captain of that vessel would seem to
have been entirely to blame for the collision-a
heavy pecuniary responsibility for the owners, and
still heavier moral responsibility for himself, es
pecially considering the course which he adopted
subsequently to the collision.
That it was the bark that ran into the steamer,
and not the steamer that ran into the bark, as
Cap Durham is reported to assert, is pretty we'll
proved by the whole circumstances of the col
l,son-the trihing damage TO the Adriatic, and the
serious disaster to the steamer. But, however that
may be, according to the statement of the mate of
the steamer the Adratic was in fault by having
out no lights. And the whole conduct of Capt.
Durham after the disaster would go to show that
he knew the fault to be all his own. Though hay-
ing sustained but trifing damage himself sinstead
of stopping to look after the other vessel as was his
most imperative duty as sailor and man. he heart
lessy kept on his course, thus taking upon himself
the responsibility for the loss certainly Of two
lives, and probably Of many more, to say nothing Of
the suferinss of those who do or may survive.
Nothing could be stronger proof Of CApt' Dun.

was his, than his not stopping to see what damage
had been DONE and to render such assistance as
might be required. Still fur.her-upon putting

the Ancient Dominion certainly furnishes an add-
tioDal proof of the truth of this philosophy in the
patronymic in which her particularly foolish Chief
Magistrate rejoices. The Governor of that Bara-

puts off the cap and bells and lays aside the bauble
of Office.
We were led into this candid train of reflection
by reading the other day, 10 some exchange paper
an account of conversation Gov. Wise had had
with Northern gentleman, in which he stated the
position of affairs in his dominions to this effect:
" We have no fears of Northern AboitiOnists. But
"what we have to fear is an insurrectiOn among
ourselves" "What!" exclaimed the other, "au
instruction Of the Hacks!' "Not at ALL" re-.
"sponded his Wise Excellency, "not of the blacks
but of the poor rhites' :" This remark certainly
showed that there is vein of common sense run
ming below the thin crust Of the Gubernatorial
fi9biiness. There is, indeed, the trua ground Of
slayeholdipg terrors. And hence is justified the
wisdom of the Governors former Thanksgiving,
that there was no newspaper published in his dis
trict Of AccOmac. And hence arises the hatred
which be derived by succession from bis predecessor
Governor Berkeley, against common schools. From
