VEPDJcT g THE FERRY DISASTER.


The verdict of the Coroner's Jury in the case
of the lad killed by the collision at the Fulton
Ferry attributes the accident to the overcrowd1
ing of the Hamilton, which rendered the boat
in great measure uDmanageable In strong
tide. We venture TO say that very few Will be
satisfied with verdict which palpably only
evades the question. That the boats are habitnaly
oyercrOwded we know very we'll, and that the
ferry companies deserve to be severely blamed
for permitting such a state OF things Is patent
enough to everybody, except apparently this
coroner's Jury But the Hamilton was no more
crowded than usual on the morning OF the l4th
of November the tide was 10 stronger than
il very often is. Would the jury have us be-
lieve that ferry boats are always unmanageable
when they are heavily loaded and the tide Is
strongf If 80, why do we not have accidents
a thousand times yearf 1t will be pleasant
for our citizens to reflect that at certain hours
of the day and stages Of the tide they never
get safely across the river except by mere
chance; and that mundane pilots have really
no power to bring boat into the slip, but the
passengers must trust altogether to luck
Oyercrowding, no doubt. was one cause OF
the disaster, but there must have been another;
and in neglecting to find out what 1t was, the
Jury have grossly failed in their duty. Either
tho propeller WIS in fault in swinging par
tally across the slip when it was too late for
the Hamilton to back out, or the pilot OF the
Hamilton was to blame for trying to pass in
where there was not room to pass. and for en-
tering the slip with too great Roadway. 1t Will
be remembered that IN experienced boatman
gave it as his opinion. during the examination,
that the pilot of the Hamilton "erred in judg-
"ment" in trying to enter the slip IN the way
he did. and yesterday the mate of the steam
ship Gulf City testified that his attention was
drawn to the boat, as it came in, by its I'M
usual speed. These points ought to have been
the focus of the examination, and while they
are unsettled the verdict of yesterday IS a
farce.
More important, however. than the punish
ment of the guilty in this case is tho preven-
ton of similar disasters hereafter. And
so far as this goes, the verdict is of
some significance. The terrible danger of
overcrowding has received an awful illus
tration The accident might have
occurred had the boat been only reason
ably full, but its effects would not then
have been 50 bad. We have no hope that
the ferry corporations will voluntarily
abate the evil. but they must be
forced to do it by the Legislature, and as soon
as the session opens We hope somebody will
devise bill not only to limit the number OF
passengers each boat may carry, but to COM
pei the ferry owners to make such regulations
and erect such guards as will prevent people
from overlooking the forward end of the boat
at the risk of leaving the rudder out of water.

BY the arrival of the Brazil mail steamship
Mississippi, yesterday, we have important news
from tho South Atlantic Squadron. Four YES
sells, comprising almost the entire squadron, ex-
cept the Wasp, which was at Montevedio, were
to leave Rio dc Janeiro on the eth or 2sth of
October for the Paraguayan waters, with the
new United States Minister, Gen. Martin T.
Mcmahon. This naval force comprises the
Guerrero, 81 guns, the Pawnec, II guns, the
Kansas, guns, and the Quinnebaug, guns;
and the Wasp, with sguns, can easily join the
feet ON the way. Unless Lopez should be com
petely overthrown by the Brazilians before
the United States has chance to interfere,

For the last three months the country has
been in condition of agitation as to the APP
pointment of Supervisors of Internal Revenue.
Mr. Rollins and Mr. MeCulloeh have had end
less consultations and quarrels. and Mt one
time it seemed us if the whole administration
of the Government would hinge upon the
nomination of gentlemen TO these important
posts. Now we find that the salary of these
Supervisors is only $4,000 a yearll 1t is very
surprising that, with so many opportunities for
earning double this income by attention to or
binary business, there should be so much ex-
element over the appointments.

Miss Olive Logan, whose plaintiye letter We
published the other day, may be consoled TO
learn that her communication has been copied
into the most respectable Boston newspapers,
and that the conductors of these journals arc
very shy OF comment, which mostly they avoid
altogether The truth is, there is nothing for
them to say Miss Logan is much mistaken If
she supposes that her lecture is the first one
ever coldly received by Boston audience.
She is not by any means single in her misery.
The great DIR. o. w. Holmes, of whose bril-
liant wit the Bostonians are justly proud, once
complained that they were "rather slow on the
