A CommendabIe Humanitarian Movement

We are glad to learn that the Board of
Trade have taken the initiative in moye-
ment to raise funds for the relief of the suffer-
ing loyal people of East Tennessee. A COM
mittee has been chosen, and we presume will
very soon notify the people of Portland of the
method proposed by which to farther their
object. We regret onr inability to lay before
our readers such picture Of the suiierings OF
the people to aid whom this philanthropic
work is started as would do justice to the
facts. But those who listened to Col. Taylor
at the City Hall Oh Monday evening, need no
words from us to stir their hearts. East Ten
nessee has always been loyal. When the Con-
federate despotism began to bear upon that
mountain region, her stalwart sons, refusing
to serve in the rebel army, were obliged to fly
from their homes and find their way through
mountain passes into Kentucky, and to-day
from 25,000 to 10000 of them, making more
than four-fifths of all liable to bear arms un-
der our laws, are in the federal army. The
country has been swept and re-swept by the
ebbing and receeding tides of contending
ar nies. From a condition Of competency and
even veal her people have become beggared
and reduced to the borders of starvation,
with famine, nakedness and want in every
form taring them In the face. Until the next
crops can be gathered they depend upon the
charities of the benevolent. Immediate aid
is demanded. The wolf is at their doors.
They need food, clothing, farming tools, stock
aud seed for planting. The rebels in their re-
lentless cruelty swept them of everything.
When the appeal is made to our people, we
know they will not hold back. Portland
should raise $4,000. What noble monu-
ment it would be of her humanity and pstri-
otism. Our people are prosperous, thriving,
rich; why should they not be more than gen.
erous to those who have lost all in standing
between the rebels torch and their prosperity?
They will be found equal to all the demands of
duty, and rejoice in an opportunity to share
with gallant people the burdens heaped up
on them.

The late Marine CatastrOphy.

The loss of the Steamer Bohemian, with its
fearful record of suffering and death, has
called forth the sympathy of our whole COM
munity. All that an enlightened Christian
philanthropy could do to alleviate the suffer
ings and ameliorate the condition of those of
the survivors who needed aid, has been done.
The claims of benevolence have been, or are
being, amply satisfied. But more than this is
needed.
That such a catastrophy could occur on a
calm, though foggy night, in sight of the two
lights on the Cape and upon rock perfectly
well known to every seaman, is a circumstance
that needs full explanation. The safety of the
living demands it. Justice 10 the dead calls
for it, and it is due to the universal public
feeling.
IL seems to us the commercial interests of
onr city should demand a thorough investiga-
tion. If there is dangerous rock lying in
the natural pathway of vessels entering our
harbor, liable to be ruu upon when in plain
sight of the lights, the fact should be known
as warning to navigators; if, however, the
locality of the rock is or should be well de-
fined in the mind Of every well-posted sea-
man, and If our coastwise steamers pass and
repass it nearly every night in the year and at
all hours ofthe night and in all kinds Of wealth
er, and always with safety, then this fact should
be known in justice TO the commercial inter
ests OF the port. II the report is true that a
Yankee sea Captain stood near the helmsman
before the fatal collision, and warned him of
danger and that the ship was out Of her prop
er course, but was unheeded, then such a fact
should be known. We would suggest wheth-
err our Board of Trade can do better service
for all concerned, and for the interests of
Commerce, and particularly for the good of
our port, than to see to il that proper steps
are inaugurated to secure thorough, search
ing and complete investigation Of this whole
matter.
This line Of steamships has been exceeding
ly unfortunate, having lost halfa-dozen or
more steamers within few years. The sus-
picion Is naturally awakened that there may
be something wrong in the management Ell
taer in port or on board. II everything is as
it should be the reputation of those most like
ly to be suspected Of wrong demands investi-
CATION; IL all is not right, theu justice to the
public demands such an investigation.

Privateering in War OF lsl2..I5.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post has been furnished by
member of Congress, whose attention has
been called to the subject, with some interest
ing facts in references to the American priv
ateersmen in the war of 1912. Some of them
recorded below, have bearing upon the pre-
sent situation ofthe country,
The estimates ofthe Secretary of the Navy
at that time were predicated upon the employ
ment ofS7l commissioned and warrant officer
1928 petty officers, seamen and boys, nine fri
gates and seven smaller vessels, 1000 marines
for two hundred gunboats, including 800 Off
cers-total Is, 800 men, The expences were
estimated at s23,1s6,Oo. The aggregate ex-
pences OF the navy during the war of 1912.
were at least s100,00O,000, and If the priva-
teers had been thrown upon the government
for support another $4,000, 600 would have
been added.
The prizes taken during the war, by the
United States vessels numbered one hun
dred and forty, of which seventy-iour came
safely into port.
Our privateers numbered three hundred,
and they were manned by $4,000 men. The
number of prizes captured by those privateers
amounted to 2Gll, of which 1851 arrived
north-worth sl50,00OOOo. The destruction
of enemy property was at least s4O,OOO,O00
more. The government offered no bounty
for prisoners taken, hence 5000 privateers-
men were for a long time shut up in the gloo-
my prison at Dartmore, not being exchang-
ed.
When the immense amount of service rem
dered by the privateers in the war of 1912 is
contrasted with the work Of the navy during
that time, one is compelled to come to the
conclusion that priyateering viii be, in case of
last resort very effective method by which
the government can chastse a commercial
nation with which we may be at war

MExIco.-This country which the French
Emperor desires to organize into monarchy
for the glory of France, and to add another
jewel to his crown is divided into % States,
Territories and Federal District. The pop
ulation is composed of about 100000 whites,
descendants Of Europeans, 100000 Indians,
6,00O blacks, and 100000 metis (part white
and part Indianl or mulattos (part white and
part black. The foreigners, to the number of
1924 in 1898, are classed as follows: Span
Iards, 5,i4l; French, 2,045; English, els;
Germans, 5sl; Americans 444; miscellaneous,
405. The city of Mexico contains 20,50O in
habitants, and Puebla nearly 72,000. Other
capitals contain nearly as many inhabitants
as Puebla. The State OF Sonora contains over
10000 square miles and Lower California over
10000. These are the largest States, terrific
rally, except Chihuahua, which contains about
$1,000. Other States vary from $4,000 down
to 1000. The French army, as yet, holds but
small portion Of the territory, and it is yet
quite problematical whether il will ever con-
quer much more. Before the country can be
overrun by French soldiers and held, Louis
Napoleon must quadruple his armies, and
waste millions upon millions of francs Juar-
ez, the President, has been reproaehed with
the wish to dsmember Mexico for the benefit
OF the United States, but he is not liable to
that reproach, for he is anxious to preserve
the integrity of his country. No doubt the
Emperor has been deceived by the Priests, and
does not find public opinion in Mexico so fav-
orable TO him as he anticipated. Strong and
seliwilled as he is, he has unqucstionably
been influenced by ''Priests and petticoats !"
Eugenie's public hand is upon him in this
business. Theirs and other French orators
have asked the Bonaparte government some
very significant and and perplexing questions,
which must be answered sooner or later, and
| if they are answered truly and in good faith,
there will arise a storm among the French
people which the Emperor will find it difficult
to control. 1t would not be surprising TO
many If he should deem discretion the bet
ter part of yalor," withdraw his troops from
Mexico, and placate the opposition to his pres
est plans, which seems to grow more and
more formidable every day. II he does not.
the Yankees will take care of him after they
have whipped our rebels and traitors.

Alleged Infdeiity of Wife---Summafy
Vengeance by the Husband.

On Friday morning last shocking tragedy
occurred in jamestown, Cambria county,
in which two old and influential citizens were
the participants. The particulars, as given in
the Pittsburg papers. were as follows:
Mr. Joseph Moore, auctinoeer of Johns
town, on his recent return from nine month
service III the army, ascertained that his do
nestle happiness had been destroyed, il Is al
legged, by Mr.. Jordan Marbourg, wealthy
merchant of the town. On hearing Of the
intimacy said to exist during his absence be-
tween Marbourg and Mrs. Moore, who is rep
resented as prepossessing in appearance and
of gay and dashing disposition, Moore called
upon the former, and after an explanation,
told him he would shoot hm. Mrs. Mar
bourg, hearing of Moore's threat, appealed to
him not to take her husbands life, but the out
ragged husband would not listen to her.
On Friday morning Moore arose early,
and leaving his house visited grocery store
near the post.otiice, where he remained until
between eight and nine O'Clock, when Mar
bourg passed by. Moore started out immedi-
ately and caught Marbourg by the collar, say
| ing, "get down on your knees, am going to
kill you. My wife made clean breast of
| it last night She told me all, and gave me a
| portion of the money which you paid her."
| SAYING this, he drew a revolver and flred-the
heart. Marbourgfell forward, and Moore dis
| charged two balls into his head, and then fired
a fourth, which took effect in the left arm
Marbourg fell over and almost instantly ex-
pired. Moore walked to a magistrates office,
surrendered himself, and was committed to
| Jail to await the action of the authorities.
The deceased man leaves most estmable
wife and eight or nine children-the eldest
son about twenty years old. The murderer
has wife and one child. He was personally
| popular with all classes, a perfect gentleman
in his dress and manners, and was not with
| out influence in the community. The de-
ceased was a prominent citizen, merchant
of Johnstown for thirty years, and had accu-
mulated large fortune. Both of them were
members of church.
Mrs. Moore, as has already been remarked,
is woman not wanting in personal charms.
OF late years her husband, although attentive
to business, has not been pecuniariy WELL
doer, and it may be that desire for more
money than her husband could furnish her,
coupled with the charms alluded to, has been
the cause of her fall, If fallen she has. Mrs.
Marbourg. who is a most accomplished WON
an, is a native of Philadelphia.
