Imp0Ftont Collision Case.
ArchtDald N. Peftz us The &eanaer Artadne.-
The documentary testimony In this case was con-
cluded and some oral evidence was given. Mr..
Donohue commenced his statement for the owners Of
xhe Ariadne by reminding the court that bonds had
been entered into by the claimants for the full amount
laid IN the libel and it rested with him to claim TIE
protection OF the court for his clients and to show from
the testimony OF the lbeants witnesses themselves
or want Of caution and proper care lay with the
ORG William Edwards at the time or the unfortunate
steamer had a right, no matter what her speed I
might be- to navigate the seas as well as aug sailing
vessel aloat and the steamer was bound 70 exhibit
the proper lights prescribed by law and IN that re-
spect the sailing vessel was bound to be careful in
having lights exposed that she might be seen at
peled by steam or canvas. He quoted from the evi-
dence that the Ariadne had been seen at distance

tne red light OF the brig was defective or that there
were negligence and want OF care on tne part OF the

proved the light required to. be trimmed;
that 1t did not burn that night as well as
usual. and that 1t had been removed from its
place some short time before the collision in order
that 1t might be trimmed and adjusted. There was
not counsel contended) o second witness to prove
that any one had been to examine or to whether

the lamp half an hour before the accident but there
was no one to corroborate tnat statement, and he
had been trimmed and restored to Its place it might

half-hOur, have become detected, or perhaps cease
burning altogether. Counsel,s argument was FUR
lights Of the brig because there no lights to be
seen, and the witnesses for the brig admitted that
the lights were defective and did not burn as well as
they usually did. There are three counsel to be
heard for the claimants, after whom MIR. Parsons will

Mr.. Scudder then followed In behalf Of the Atlantic

been trimmed 1t was put in Its proper place. and all
the lights fully exposed and burning brightly, IN
cnding green light suspended In the rigging, fully
quarter Of an hour or twenty minutes before the
collision.
Mr.. owen, counsel, followed for Mr.. Molloy. an
other claimant by whom it was cOntended that the
lights on the brig were not only defective, but that
they were all out at and before the collision; that the
lamps were Detective the oil OF inferior descrip

Flags OF truce were occa-
sionally sent back and forth
between Cairo and Columbus,
aud the opposing Generals
who were in command of those

On one occasion, General Polk

all could drink. Those present
filled their glasses, and he gave

at the end of the name, the
company comme0ced to drink,
when he added, "the first reb-

"Yhat was scarcely fair, Gen.

you some day." The laugh was
of course against him, but the
company parted in good hu.

Some two weeks afterward
another flag of truce was sent
down to Columbus, General
Grant accompaniment. After
business was over, General
Grant adroitly turned the con-

"reminiscences of Grant.


Rev. j. l.. Crane, the chap
lain of the regiment of which
General Grant was Colonel
gives the following interesting
"reminiscences ofhis private and
military character
Grant, he says, is about five
feet ten inches in hight, and
will weigh one hundred and
forty or forty-five pounds. He
has a countenance indicative
of reserve, and an indomitable
will, and persistent purpose.
In dress he is Indifferent and
careless, making no pretentions
to style or fashionable military
display. Had he continued
Colonel till now, | think his
uniform would have lasted till
this day; for he never used it
except on dress parade, and
then seemed to regard it a good
deal as David did Sauls armor.
"His bodyis a vial of intense
existence" and yet when a
stranger. would see him in a
crowd he would never think of
asking his name. He is no dis
sembler. He is a sincere, think
ing, real man.
He is always cheerful. No
toll, cold, heat, hunger, fatigue
or want of money depresses
him. lie does his work at the
time, and he requires all under
his command to be equally
prompt.

"Eaual Taxation"

DIR. Sanns, the Belmont can.
didate for Congress in this dis
trict speaking Of the Tau-
many Hall platform in his let
ter of acceptance, says, sit de-
mands equal taxation for ali,
the rich and the poor, to all of
which I most heartily SUBJ
scribe"
This is a plain declaration
on the part of DR.. Sanns that
he is tired of paying a tax on
his income of over 81 900, and
wants the laborer, whose in
come is only $500 or S4O0 to
be taxed more in order that he
may be taxed less. The Doc
tors remedy is worse than the
disease, and, we doubt not, the
workingmen and farmers of the
district will throw his physic
to the dogs. They think it is
no more than fair that the
Doctor and his wealthy friends
should still be required to pay
more than an "eQuaP share of
taxes. If a laboring man was
taxed at an "equal" rate with
DIR. Sanns, it would not only be
unjust and oppressive to the
laborer, but many of them
would be wholly unable to
pay it. "Equal taxation" is a
good thing for a rich man, but
we would like to hear some of
these Belmonters show where
the poor man is benefited.

HE Portsmouth Tribune says:
The nomination of John oanns
for Congress from this District
took every one by surprise. His
name was hardly mentioned
before the meeting Of the Con.
vention, and very few knew
that he was a candidate. His
nomination was evidently as
much a surprise to the dele.
gates as to the outsiders, and
was not even expected by his
friends from Gallia who PIE.
sented his name. In fact, it
appeared that they. knowing
his weakness, did not really
desire his nomination. But
those who pulled the wires
made a mistake in their count,
and Mr.. Sanns slipped in, when
they only intended to beat the
bush with him while Cockerill
should bag the game. We do
not propose to abuse Mr.. SannS
because he is the opposing
candidate. But in very truth
we regard him as decidedly the
weakest man in every respect
before the Convention. He is
a man of very ordinary ability,
and not known outside of his
own county. The only office
he has ever held is that of
Treasurer of Gallia county
He cannot make a speech, and
his conversational powers,
even, are very limited. He is
not a man calculated to attract
the masses, being unsocial in
his disposition and of a cold
aud repelling exterior. He is
ore of those dogged, obstinate

The Way to Build Up a Town.

The Way to Build Up a Town.
A few days ago a gentleman
visited Wooster, Ohio, looking
for a site on which to locate a
paper mill. AS soon as his er-
rand was known, the business
men Of the place, instead Of
raising their rents and the price
of their lots, at once proposed
to furnish him, free of cost, q
suitable site and a steam en-
gine to run his machinery. He
accepted the proposition, and
is making arrangements to
erect a mill that will cost
$4,000.
A few years ago, Canton was
one Of the dullest towns in o.,
neither increasing in wealth
nor population, but retrogra-
ding in both. No one thought
it worth while to settle there,
the place was so dull. Finally
one man, a Mr.. Ball, having in
vented an Improvement in
moving machines, proposed
that if the citizens of Canton
would loan him ten thousand
dollars, to manufacture them
at that place he would imme-
diately erect a factory. They
did it, and that one factory was
the nucleus around which the
following have gathered; Two
immense agricultural manu-
factories, one of paper and
mower knives, one Of saddlery
hardware, two of furniture, one
OF cultivators, one of wrought
iron bridges, and one of soap,
besides a large number Of 9th
ers more or less extensive. 1t
must not be supposed that the
ones We have enumerated are
small concerns, the machine
interest alone supporting 1000
people. The town has trebled
in population and quadrupled
in wealth.
