STEAMBOAT OFFICERS HELD TO ACCOUNT.
Il is in clear evidence that the burning Of
the Montreal, and the terrible consequences
which followed, were the result of the most
criminal rarelessness, ineiiciency, and COW
ardice on the part OF the officers Of the boat.
In the first place, there was no sufficient
guard against fire. There was exposed wood
work in dangerous proximity TO the boilers.
But this fact would not. perhaps, have sub
ieeted the captain to a criminal prosecution;
Tor it was shown that, in this particular, his
vessel was not unlike many others of even
higher reputation than the Montreal" In.
deed there. is reason to fear that not one
steamboat in ten is properly guarded against
| FIRE; aud il Is daiiymiracle that they escape
the consequences Of this criminal neglect in
their construction. In the next place, Capt.
] Rudolph exhibited the most shameful stupHli.
IN after the FIRE was discovered. He seemed
wholly untitled for the emergency. lie knew
neither what to do hmselfh nor what TO direct
Others to do. And, like all stupid men, he
had not the grace to sdopt the suggestions ol
others wiser than himself. THIS was fatally
illustrated in his neglect 20 comply with a
suggestion, when the fire was first discovered
to be unmanageable, to run the boat on shore.
At that moment sand beach was accessible /;
aud it could have been reached before the
flames had driven any single one Of the pai.
sengers into the river. But the suggestion
was disregarled. The course Of the vessel
was continued as when the fire was discover
ell, until opposite rocky coast; and its
course was only changed when the flames had

she struck upon rock at the worst punt OF
bad range of coast, where the water was
deep, and where more than two hundred and

We mentioned Yesterday that Capt Ru-
dolph had been imprisoned BY order of the
Crown officers. Warrants have been issued
against others that were on board.

The Election.

Tomorrow (rhursday) elections are to be held in
this State for members Of Congress- and for Clerks Of
the County and Superior Courts. The vote will also
be taken upon the Free Suffrage amendment to the
Constitution Those in favor Of the amendment will
vote with printed or written ticket "Approyed;
those who are opposed thereto will vote with similar
ticket, mo, Approved" We think this an unwise
amendment; but as few Of our public mon have had
the courage to array themselves against II and to ex-
r--- inpoucy, and the popular current apparently
being in its favor, we suppose it more than probable
that the amendment will be adopted by the people,
Nevertheless those who opposed to il should freely
give in their votes.
In this district there is opposition to Mr. Branch
for Congress.
In the fifth district, Mr.. Waddcll having withdrawn
the contest is between Mr.. Gilmer and Mr.. Williams
Although il has been the general policy Of the Demo
Gratis in this State to oppose equal distribution
the public lands, believe all the Democratic can
ddates at present in favor Of distributing by way
of deposit the surplus revenue with the exception o
Mr.. Williams He, we understand, is opposed boil
TO distribution and deposit. He declares both to b,
schemes" The public lands voted away by mil
lions every session OF Congress- but North Carolina
Notwithstanding her need, is to have none of tn,
benefit, if Mr.. Wiliams's vote is to prevail.

INFORMANT DECISION AGAINST TIE PowEK
OF THE CATHOLIC Bsnops---Judge Wells Of
the New York Supreme Court, has decided
against the claim Of Roman Catholic Bsh.
op to hold oil the church property in his
diocese, against the rights Of the local soci-
cites or their immediate representatives.
The particulars OF the case are us follows -
"In the year 1851 the trustees Of st. Pc.
ter's Society, in Rochester, broght q suit
against John Timon, Bishop Of Buffalo, and
Others 10 recover their church property,
then held In fee by the Bishop. Some forty
days were occupied In taking evidence bs-
fore the referees. rs " the spiritual and lc-
gal powers OF the Catholic clergy, and the
force OF the canons Of the church. IL was
then argued before Justice Selden, Of tho
Supreme Court. Justice Selden decided all
tho points save one in iayer Of tho plaintiffs.
A new argument was had IN June, 1850, be-
fore Justice Wells, who has just decided in
favor OF tho plaintiffs throughout. Thus
tho Trustees hold the temponlitles OF the
church by the law, and against canons.
This il gratifying result, as showing that
the power of the Romish hierarchy rs not TO
be eiorted by a Priesthood directly possessed
Of an enormous estate lit would have been
humiliating, il in the Protestant State Of
Now York, the Priesthood should possess
power recently striped from them in Mex
leo, and for many years denied them in 9th
err Catholic countries. This decision bears
directly on the point IN issue between Bishop
o. Regain Of the Chicago diocese and Father
Chiniquy, the good Priest Of St. Anne's,
whom the Bishop has suspended"

BATuISo. Once week i often enough
for u decent white man TO wash himself all
over and whether in Summer or Winter
that ought TO b. done with soap, warm wa
ter and u hog's hair brush, IN u room show
ing at least seventy degrees Fahrenheit.
Baths should bs taken in the morning, for
It is then that the system possesses the pow
er OF reaction in the highest degree. Any
kind Of bath Is dangerous soon after neal,
or soon after fatiguing exercise. No man
or woman should take bath ut the Close Of
the day, unless by tho advice Of family
physician. Many man, in attempting to
cheat his doctor out Of o fee, has cheated
himself out Of his life +; aye, IL is done every
day.
The best, safest, cheapest and more uni
yersally accessible mode Of keeping the sur
face of the body clean. besides the once
week washing with soap, varm.water, and
hogs hair brush, Is as fol Ows:
As soon as you get out Of bed in the morn
ing, wash your face, hands, neck and breast,
then, In the same basin Of water, put your
feet ut once for about o minute. rubbing
them briskly oil the time then, with tho
towel, which has been dampened by wiping
the face, feet, &c. wipe the whole body well,
fast and hard, mouth shut, breast projecting.
Lot the whole thing be done within Eve
minutes.
At night when you 60 to bed, and when
ever you get out OF bed during the night. or
when you find yourself wakeful or restless,
spend from two to five minutes in rubbing
your whole body with your hands, so far Us
you can reach in every direction. This has
q tendency to preserve that softness and mo-
bility Of skin which too frequent washngs
of tho skin will always destroy.
That precautions are necessary, In con-
nection with the bathroom. is imprcssi,ely
