Why, when she refused to answer her heilh'
were none of the expedients known TO
sleillfu seamen resorteI to to heip he' "o"u
round Captain Knapp was brave anu
slillful commander by all accounts. but ne
had at his disposal only ten seanlen. and could
not do what his Judgment told MIN must be
done. So she lay exposed to the violence of
the waves, until by and by her upper works
were stove in and then--there was no carpen-
ter. Capt. New thinks it more than probable
that carpenter with a suitable crew even
then would have fitted up bulk head which
would have kept the water out The crew
ana such OF the Passengers as could keep their
legs made Intellectual exertions TO stop the
preach with mattresses and doors. Their un-
skilled efforts were unavaing.
The ship went down because she was un-
dermanned. 1t was the fault OF the owners;
it was also the fault ofthe captain, who should
have insisted upon having sufficient crew
and carpenter with at least one or two
hands under him. 1t is common fault with
American vessels to sail with too small crew.
1t is true, by reason of the labor saving in
ventions which are adopted by American
builders, we do notneed so many hands as an
Englishman by third; but steamers, carry
ing passengers, should be manned SO as to en-
sure their safety against all disaster which may
before seen, and there are many cases in which
a carpenters aid is Invaluable, and a crew OF
more than ten men indispensable. Captain
New recommends legislation radically chang
ing the existing laws and providing Tor the
more complete manning and equipment OF
the American marine generally.

IT.. ..o.. Of the EVENING Star.

On Wednesday, October Sd, at six O'clock
in the morning the steamship Evening Star,
after lying helplessly eight hours in the trough
of the sea, exposed to fearful storm, went
down. There were Two hundred and seventy
six souls On board--al large proportion of them
women. The hurricane deck tioated clear OF
the wreck and for some time supported a
large number Of her people, but that finally
went to pieces. Only seventeen men ss-
caped to land We have already published
the narrative OF MIR. J. o. Smith, who was on
hoard the brig Concord of Bath, which wealth
cred the same gale. The sweep OF the huIri-
cane was SO terrific that it tore away the
sails, well urled to the yards, in pieces from a
hands breath to foot square. Yet the brig
with the loss OF her sails and some of her
spars, was brought into port. The crew got
out a drag to keep her head to the wind, and
when it was no longer safe to keep the deck
went below The steamship was lost with
two hundred and sixty lives
Her loss, under such circumstances, requir-
ed an investigation, which was ordered by
the Treasury Department, in order to ascer-
tain whether the government inspectors had
given certificate Of seaworthiness to an uI-
sound vessel We publish in another column
an abstract of the report which has just been
made by Captain New, the special agent of
the Department for this purpose. It appears
that the ship was thoroughly well built, her en-
gines powerful and without defect. and her
sails and rigging in excellent condition. In
the language of the report, she was "a Good
serviceable, seaworthy vessel" She had all
the Hfe-boats required by law, though not
enough to have saved half her passengers. It
is not shown that they were properly equip
ned. All who were saved, owed their escape
to life-preservers; but one Of the passengers,
Mr.. Harris, says 'they were very few" 1t ap-
pears there lore that with the exception of
means to escape from a wreck, the ship was
thoroughly well found.
WHY then was she lost in storm which
other vessels weathered? The immediate
cause of the disaster was an accident to tho
rudder chain, while the ship was on her course
before the wind. 1t was an error Ofiudgment
to keep her on her course, as with the knowl-
edge now common enough, she might have
run out of the gale early Tuesday afternoon
though the attempt would have been danger
Gus after it had become hurricane. One oil

RoAp SwlNpLE. - Teamsters and travellers
make FREQUENT complaints of the petty swindles.
and impositions to which they are subjected on
passing over the Boise Road. In parts of the
country a toll-gate is never out OF sight, and in
many instances the charges are outrageous. The
worst imposition on the whole line of the Road,
Al we are informed, is what is familiarly known
A. the "Pyle Swindle." In this instance an
interruptions fellow has managed to obtain cons
troll Of the entrance to small rayine through
which the road passes, and having erected
toll-gate, exacts the payment OF 81 80 on each
and every loaded team passing that way, and so
on down to to so cents for man and horse. At a
liberal estimate, the author of this swindle has
expended not to exceed $500 in improving the
road, and in return for this trihing outlay be
exacts the same rate of tolls that are charged on
the Ruckel l. Thomas Road, where from $50, 900
to $4,000 was expended. At time when the
means Of communication. with the Columbia
River Valley is thus obstructed it is little won
der that the great bulk of the Boise trade and
travel goes by way of the Red Bluff and Chico
routes. The business depression of the last year
is to be attributed in a measure to the fact tha'
trade and travel-by reason of high charges
has been driven from its legitimate channel and
forced to seek out newer and cheaper routes 1t
iS unfortunate that the passes leading to the
Columbia River are almost uniformly occupied
bylegalized highwaymen who intercept travellers
and teamsters at every turn, and bid them "stand
and deliver y Occasionally these charges are
based upon large expenditures made in opening
and improving roads, and in cases Of this kind
are perfectly legitimate but these are the ex
ceptions, the great majority being shameless
frauds. In the case of Pyle's swindle, we un
derstand that the rates of tolls are fixed by tht
Compissouers Of Baker county, who are thu
made parties to the imposition. At the mex
meeting of the Board, measures should be takei
TO remove or abate this piles nuisance. Th
Boise trade is too important to be left to th
mercy of the greedy cormorauts who seek to liv
by plundering the public, and the sooner tn
passes leading to the mines are cleared of tn
tax -gatherers who now infest them, the better
will be for the interest Of the whole country.

DoSAHuE RELEASED. - The telegraph informs
as that Donohue, the murderer of Ferd Patter-
son, has been released by the San Francisco au,
thorities. The grounds for this decision are not
stated, but 1t is understood that he vas dismiss>
ed for the reason that Governor Pickering had
failed to issue a requisition for his return. The
Governor was telegraphed to in relation to the
matter, but receiving no answer, dispatch was
sent to Secretary Evans, who replied that Gov.
P. was in the Territory, but whereabouts it was
impossible TO ascertain. The Secretary was up-
able to act 10 the premises for the reason that
Governor Pickering had carried of the Terrific
rial seal. 1t is thus that the ends of justice are
defeated and red-handed muir lerer turned loose
upon society. The absence of the Governor at
the time he was wanted, and the general bung-
ling management of the whole affair is not cal>
culAted to inspire confidence either in the hon
sSty or efficiency os our Territorial officials. r
10 possible that what at present seems passing
strange will admit Of an explanation, but in the
aoseLee Of any explanation people will draw in-
ferenees not at all favorable TO the integrity of
our executive officers.

NEW QUAaTz DIscovERIEs.-Mr. VIM Trickcl,
who arrived here this week from Orc Fino, in
forms US that considerable excitement has ex
listed there recently in reference to quartz dis,
coveries. Some seven or eight distinct lodges
have been discovered, and assays made froul
the groupings of some of them warrant the be-
lief that they will prove very rich. A French
man has exhibited specimens frou aIedge which
he has discovered somewhere in that vicinity,
which far exceed nlr tie others in richuess. The
discorerer is unnaturaized, and is waiting to
get his naturalization papers, before he makes
the locality of his mine known, SO that he can
take up and hold claim under the new mining
law. The people of Orc Fino are sanguine that
prosperous future awaits them as their quartz
mines are developed
