THE OCEAN YACHT RACE.
Additional Particulars of the CatastrO-
phe on the FIeetwing.

Mr.. e. Staples, who was one OF the guests on
board the yacht FleetWing during the Atlantic
match, has arrived in this city by the steamer
Persia. This gentleman brings a detailed ac-
count of the melancholy accident which led to
the loss of six OF the crew of the vessel, which
is to the following e1iect:-On Wednesday,, De-
cember 10, at ten minutes past O'Clock in the
evening, as the Fleetwing was scudding along,
with the watch, consisting OF eight men, sitting
on the weather side of the cockpit, the gallant
craft was struck aft OF starboard main rigging
by very heavy cross sea.
Rushing astern, the water with all its fury
caught the cockpit and carried the whole OF the
eight men seated around it into the angry
waves. So great was the force OF the sea that
Messrs. Wood and HaZleton, who were at the
time in charge of the wheel, clutched convul-
siVely its spokes, only, however, to lind them too
weak TO resist its power or to avert their fate,
az they could not sustain the heavy strain thus
put upon them but parted from their sockets.
Captain Hazleton actually went down TO MS
watery grave firmly holding one in his cienched
hand.
Two only of those who were thus suddenly
engulied in the seethiug ocean were recovered; {;
these were fortunate enough to lay mold of the
trysail, and were rescued from their perilous
position by their comrades, while the remaining
six were soon beyond the reach Of all human
help. The names of all but one of these untOr-
tunate men are already known-Captains Wood
and Hazleton, and Messrs. Kelly, Mccormick,
and Brown.
MIR. Staples was, at the time OF the sad occur
renee, down below, lighting his pipe, but feel
ing the concussion caused by the striking of the
sea, he, with Captain Thomas, rushed on deck.
The sight which met their view was a most
affecting one-the cockpit, which but a few
minutes before they had seen filled with the
watch, clean swept Of every living soul, aud
the deck and PIT, from the main rigging aft.
completely covered with water. Several of the
men, whose watch was below at the time, were
soon on deck, and everything that could lead
to the recovery of their messmates was at once
done, though unfortunately TO no purpose.
The Fleetwing experienced some pretty heavy
weather during her trip, and sustained more
losses of canvas, ETC., thani did her opponents.
The first night at sea, while iibbing, she carried
away her square sail boom and main topmast
spreader and on the second night she carried
away three flying jib booms.
Mr. Staples speaks in the highest terms of the
capacities of the captain, his oicersi aud crew.

Robbery In Exchange Place, New York
$IO,IsO stolen from Porter.

At about o'clock on Saturday afternoon Mr..
GOtt, an elderly man, employed by Messrs. Mar
tin Mas d Co., bankers and brokers, on the
second floor of No. 4S Exchange Place, was sent
by his employers to pay bill of $40, ,18O to Dal-
lett g. Co., dealers IN foreign gold and exchange,
located on the second floor of the adjoining
building, No so. The amount intrusted TO the
porter consisted of two gold certificates, $4,000
each, one for $780, and four $50 bills. The GER
tifcates were wrapped in a memorandum, and
carried in the coat-pocket of the messenger.
As Mr.. Gott stepped into the entry-way of No.
90 he took The package from his pocket, in order
TO consult the direction upon it. As he did so q
young man rapidly descended the stairs leading
to the second story, and as he passed Mr. Gott
dealt him violent blow across the eyes with
his open hand, partially binding the messenger,
and at the same time snatched the certificates
and money and fed into the street. Before the
bewildered messenger could give the alarm the
thief had disappeared The First Precinct Po-
lice were at once informed of the robbery and
given a description of the thief, which they
communicated to Police Headquarters, from
whence it was telegraphed to all the precincts
in the city; but up to this time no trace of the
bold operator has been found.-N T. Tribune,

TsPECIAL DEePATcHRs TO BvENINe TKLEeRAPH.1
WASHINGTON, January Ia.
THE TEST OATH
It is Declared UnconstitutIOnRs by the
Unlted Statea Supreme Court.

It IL Declared UncOnstitutiOnRh by the
United States Supreme Court.
In the test oath cases, the majority of the
Supreme Court has decided that the test oath
is unconstitutional; also that Congress has no
constitutional power to limit or abridge the
pardOning power OF the President.
The Bill TO Reconstruct the Southern
state GOvernments.
The House Committee have agreed to report
bill for new Governments for the States of Ala
bama, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North and South Carolina, and
Texas. 1t first declares void old laws made by
the Governments in force in these States, and
then proposes that all male persons above the
ages of tweuty.one, who can take the oath of
loyalty, shall be allowed TO vote for delegates to
the Convention.
When the Convention meets, if it decides to
accept the terms proposed by Congress, it is
authorized to select what is called provisional
committee of five citizens, distinguished for
their loyalty to the Union. This committee is
to act as one of public safety until Constitu-
tional State convention is formed, which they
are authorized to inaugurate. The convention
thus called can then elect provisional State
officers and form State stitutions irrevocable
without consent of Congress.
Universal suffrage prohibition of distinction
on account OF race or color in schools, repudi-
alton of the Rebel debt, and disfranchisement
of all who aided the Rebellion, are to be pro-
vided for in the State Constitutions.
If the State shall at any future time attempt
to dissolve Its RELATIONS with the Federal Gov
ernment, its representation in Congress is to
cease, and the latter is not to do anything IN
consistent with the rules of civilized warfare to
protect the loyal people. If Congress accepts a
new constitution the State is to be entitled to rep
resentation. The Committee will urge the bill as
a substitute for Thad. Stevens measure, hereto
fore published.
Political Effect of the Impeachment
Scheme In Europe.
The Government is in receipt of advices from
Europe ntlmating that large amounts of Ameri-
can securities, principally national, will be sent
home Tor conversion by the steamers of the next
few weeks. The announcement in Europe of
the commencement Of proceedings looking to
the impeachment of the President, has had the
tendency greatly to weaken the confidence of
European capitalists in our securities.

A siamee Col The Bangkok Recorder
describes a vi sit to one OF the watts or Bhuddist
cloisters of the city, which covers ten acres of
land, contains two temples, and has an image
which far exceeds the Colossus of Rhodes in
size. He is reclining on the right side, with
his head resting on the right hand. He is one
hupdred and thIrty-dye feet long, about twenty
eip ht feet around the belt, and the length of the
little toe on the right foot is three feet four
inches. The natives say his bowels are full of
large water jars. The labor Of constructing
and gliding this image must nave been I'M

before the Court for an outrage on MS honor.
The Judges were much embarrassed, but In the
end they rejected the plaintiffs demand and
