The HunEarian--Terrlao spectacle.


Not one of the hundreds on board the ilI-fated
iron steamship Hungarian escaped to tell the
fate of companions. All went down together.
and sleep together in q watery grave, Tho
laundering of the vessel was witnessed off Cape
Sable by two brothers named Niekerson, who
deserted the lights Of the steamer about o.
clock in the morning. They were stationary
for half an hour, then moved swiftly in north
westerly direction, and in ten or fifteen minutes
again became stationary. The lights were viI>
ibls until daylight. The account the brOthefs
give of what followed is thus stated by the
Yarmouth Tribune;
As day daWned, the hull of large steamship
was plainly discernibe on tho "Great Rip." a
dangerous ledge about two miles southwest Of
Cape Sable, the foremast gone, mizzennast and
smokepipe only standing, and the sea making
constant breach over the ship. The rigging Of
the mainmast had the appearance, according to
the statements of our informsnts, of being
crowded with human beings, to the number Of
between fifty and sixty--a supposition we see
no reason TO disoredit. About half an hour az
tar sunrise, the maipmaSt was seen to 90 over.

ward. and the mizzsnmast followed about 10 A.
N The spectacle is described by those who
witneEsedit it IS one of terrific grandeur-the sea
around white with breakers, the doomed ship
rolling heavily as surge after surge broke
against her iron sides, the spray dashing in
volumes to the hight of her mast head, and the
pillows pouring in ceaSeless cataraets over her
decks. The violence Of the sea during the
morning and the early part of the day was 50
great that no attempt could be made to approach
the ship. Not even lifeboat it il affirmed,
could have been got with safety through the
breakers which environed the coast

The Sam CnnaI Inna q. n.nn,,.-

The Detroit Advertiser notices the rumors
50 current that the Ssut Canal cannot be made
ready for the passage of vessels before mid
summer, and presents the following as the in
formation obtained from the contracting parties;
It will b. remembered that the contractors
were to have been rut in possession of the ca.
nal in November, and that in consequence of
the anxiety of the steamer Lady Elgin to make
her trip, and in consequence of her accidents
and Of other delays then considered necessary
by the immediate interests of navigation, they
did not get control till IN December some four
weeks alter the stipulated time, and when Sc,
we're cold had fully set in. The contractors
proceeded with the work as rapidly as the
weather would permit, and are nov making
every possible endeavor 70 have their work
done by the stipulated time, viz: the 5th of Nav.
The delay in the fall has not been taken adVanI
tage of, nor viii it be, but on the contrary, ad
ditionsl effort Is being made in consequences of
it. Mr.. Chapel, the Superintendent of the
work, is now at the Ssut, and if any one man
more than another can facilitate work, he Is the
man. Next week the steamboat Sea Bird, win
leave here for DetOur with large number of
laborers and mssons, who will Be dispatched
thence overland, probably, oyer ice 10 the Saut.
Every interest, public, political and private
urges the contractors to accomplish their work
IN the time stpulate and we feel warranted
In saying that the canal viii be Open, il not on
the 9th Of Nay, at least by the 10th or 18th,
which is quite Is early as theTeaI interests of
commerce demand it. The four weeks DELAY
10 the fall may probably opsrats 10 prolong the
work to the 18th, but not later. =. -

ClsrkShip in organizing his corps of deputies
in the House, but BOynton did not fully enter
upon the duties Of his place in person, rsla-

formed. It's reported too That BOyntOn made
street brokerage a portion Of bis Washington
business, and had the run Of the gambling
hella Of that modern SOdOm. The statement
that he had sailed for Europe was probably
started to throw detectives off the track. OF
his arrest, the New York Herald Of Saturday
says;
It seems that the defGlcation which was al
luded to by our Washington correspondent a
few days ago, created some excitement among
the members Of Congress. At that time it was
not definitely known who the alleged defaulter
was, but it was TumoTsd thai the person had

tanned Tn regard to the matter in Washington
but It seems that yesterday Capt. DoWling re-
ceived telegraphic dispatch from Mr.. FOrney.
Clerk OF the House, that the supposed alleged
deiaulter was S. Q. Boyntop, clerk under him,
and that his supposed whereabouts was thought
to be in this city. Accordingly Capt. Dow
ling immediately took steps 70 arrest Boynton
if he could be found. From other information
it was supposed that BoyntOn intended to sail
for Europe, and accordingly a sharp lookout
was kept on the several steamers. About si1
o'clock last evening, Cspt. Dowling, while on
the lookout, discovered Mr.. Boynton standing
in front Of the international Hotel, Broadway
Capt. Dowling went up to him, and said, How
are you, Mr.. BoyntonP which seemed to take
Mr., B. BY surprise, and for q moment he was al
loss to make a reply. He, however, said thai
was his name, and on being told that he wal
wanted, agreed to accompany the officer to thu
station house. On his way he seemed greatly
Agitated, and kept hunting through his pockets
as if desirOus of finding something. It seems
that be bad put up at the above hotel under th,
assumed name of Snowden, and it is presumed
he was only waiting for good opportunity tc
to make his escape from the city.
On being taken to the station house, he de-
sired pen, ink and paper, and up to late hou
last night was writing numerous letters to va
rious parties in Washington. He is Q fine
looking man, about thirty-seven years of age
but manifested considerable nervousness during
the evening. Capt. Dowling and officer Jordan
are deserving of great credit for the pTomp
steps taken by them to arrest him.
BoyntOn will be held to await the action o
the interested parties.

Act, arc still progressing in the U, s. District
Court at Chicago. The offence is aiding in the

One conviction has taken place. The trial Of
Joseph Stout was submitted 70 the Jury last
week, and up to Friday morning the jury had
not agreed. The jurors after being out thirty
hours came in and assured the Court they
could not agree, but the Court refused to dis
charge the jury, though one of the Jurors said
they could not agree if they were kept together
until lsO0l Unreasonable treatment Of jurors
to make them agree, is a way Of administering
justice in keeping with the spirit Of the Fugi-

James Stout, lawyer Of ottaws, has also
been tried under the same iniquitOus enact-
msnt. He conducted his own defence. The

The Press Of Friday says
Thus there were two dozen men at least last
evening shut up for the night, TO the eontems

suggestions to that effect to the jury, the object
being to enforce the act rather than its penal,
ties. The Tribune remarks:
This ends for the present this series of re-
markable trials, without precedent in the judi
cial annals Of our city. The parties who have
been made defendants are without exception
men Of high character and worth. Their only
crime was, that, in aiding fellow man to his
