WAsHlyorox, Jan. S0.-Hon. James Har-
Ian, in card to the Daily Chronicle, says
that part of the report of his remarks last
Friday evening, which referred to the Pres
ident is 80 imperfect as TO to change the
sense. He adds after referring to the dam
ger apprehended by some in comforting the
elective franchise on a vast multitude of
persons so recently released from slavery,
aud danger on the other hand Of excluding
so large a portion of thoroughly loyal part
of the people from voice in the reorgani-
zation, that he expressed greater confidence
in ignorant loyalty than in intelligent
treason. He had never disguised the pref
erence and would not do so in the future.
He concluded with an expression of conf
dence in the wisdom and virtue of the Pres
ident, for whom he was not authorized to
speak, and who had been able in the past,
and wuold be able in the future 70 disclose
his own views.

New York, January 81.
The United States Express Co. met with a
very heavy loss last nightOn the Erie Road.
The Company's freight car attached to the
Night Express train of the Erie Railroad,
took fire when between Lackawaxen and
cLohola, and was entirely consumed. Two
safes which were in the oar,and which con-
tanned large amount of money, were also
destroyed with their contents. The total
loss will amount to about $5OO,OOO. The
origin Of the fire is unknown, but is sup
posed to have been from combustible mat
ter among the freight. We are informed by
Mr.. Thayer, General Manager of the Com
pany, that the Company is prepared to make
good the losses to those to whom the freight
and money was consigned, on the presenta-
ton Of their claims at their Office in this
city.

Audaefty aFaInSt Stupidfty.

The Statesman says the Cleveland
LEADER "objects that Democrats should
''be in favor of the eight hour labor move
ment. That is very good way to dodge
the question. The editor of the Statesman
has one of the orstoriesl tEisksters who
fancied for time that they owned the
laboring men in fee simple. We will
close the subject by quoting from the Co
lumbus correspondence of the Cincinnati
Gazette:
"As the editor of the Statesman has de-
MED that he descended to q mere Demo
cratic stump speech when speaking Of
the late war and our present national
debt, at the eight hour meeting, and also
that Mr. Oberkline gave him "a severe re-
buke,' wish only to say that I hardly
know which to admire the mokt-the au-
dacity he exhibited in that speech or the
stupidity which prevented him from dis
tinguishing a rebuke SO plain and pointed
as that which followed it."

The Disaster to che steamer Miami.

1 rrou TIE OlnclnnAtl Oommerclall
Special telegraphio correspondence Of
the Cincinnati Commercial, dated Mem
phis, Jan. 80, says:
The steamer Miami, which left this port
on Saturday night, heavily ladened with
freight and crowded with passengers, in
addition to ninety-one soldiers of Co. B,
Sd United States Regulars ON the hurri-
cane roof exploded on Sunday night. The
accident occurred seven miles above Ma
| poleon, on the Arkansas river, at Z
o'clock in the evening, just as the
Rassengers had taken supper. Consequent
ly both passengers and officers were as
sembled IN conversation around the stoves
in the hall The explosion was of such
terrible force as to rend the cabin floor
asunder, and let every living soul in the
front part of the cabin down into the
dreadful mass of fire and steam below.
The boat took fire Immediately. The pas
sengers were frantic with fear. They
snatched doors, life-preservers, and every
thing light enough to float, and plunged
with deafening, unearthly and piteous
screams of woe into the river, in their at
tempts to escape the devouring flames as
they rapidly destroyed the boat Captain
Levi immortalized himself by his daring
and heroic deeds, coolly walking about,
trying to keep the people from jumping
overheard, as the boat was fast drifting to-
ward the north shore, where it touched
few moments after the disaster. But now,
to those in the back part of the cabin, it
was as bad as being in the middle of the
river, as the boat was q vast fame in the
middle, and all in the back part were
compelled to perish in the flames or bury
themselves in the raging food below.
The total loss Is calculated at from 125
to $50 souls. She had about fifty cabin
passengers besides the soldiers and the
boats crew, summing the whole number
up to $50 souls. l have, as yet, been un-
able to get the names of the lost
Over thirty of the soldiers were lost.
Two had been tied up for disorderly con-
duct and in the agonizing excitement of
tho trying ordeal, they were forgotten, and
there left to burA to death.
Lusk and johnson, the clerks, we're
lost also the wife and child of the former.
After the explosion, corporal and siti-
zen were seen to draw their pistols and
blow out their brains to escape burning to
death. The details of the afasr are hor-
rible. The steamer Henry Ames heard of
the affair, and went to the rescue of the
Miami, and rendered valuable assistance.
After the survivors got ashore, the ne
gro women and soldiers came to their as
sistance, the negro women stripping them
selves of their under-clothes and rending
them in shreds for bsndages to soothe the
keen pain Of the wounded and dying.
