The Presidents Reputi0fjon
Sch enc.

The Presidents outrageous recommen-
dati.n of population is, according to
kilograms from Washington, the great
topic of discussion and a large majority
of the Democrats unite with the
Republicans In condemning it. All
agree, 1t il said, that it was eminently
proper that such bad advice on>inancial
mat .ers should have been made public
i'm Mr.. Brick Pomeroy's reputation
organ.
The New York SIN says that the :. re-
sident's proposition concerning the re-
pudiation of the bonds is as atrocious
in principle as it is bungllng in form.
If we are to attempt the highway-man's
game and cry Stand and deliver!"
to our creditors, let us do it at once
instead of postponing it seventeen years.
We have as good a right t. do it now
as we shall have then, and we should
sum of money to compensate us for
the infamy we should incur.
The New York Tribune says that other
regulators have dared to propose to pay
the principal of the debt, but this new
apostle of infamy advises the American
people not to pay the principal at all !!
We quote further: Sixteen years of
interest is enough to pay. Is not this a
financial plan which an intelligent
lunatic might be ashamed of? Yet it
is officially proposed by the President
Of the United States, AMI goes to the
world with the sanction of his name.
This Is the worst of it. We can des-
pise the proposal and the proposer, but
to-day it is published in every city OF
Europe that the Chief Magistrate OF
the United States advises his country
men to become liars and swindlers.
EAippily for us, the counsel comes from
an impeached and convicted officer
who Is almost at the close of Il dis
graceful career"
Even the New York World is will
ling to admit that Mr.. Johnson's "fi-
nancial propositions are open to grave
objections" Well, it matters but little
what the accidental President says
Neither Congress nor the people will
heed his sayings.

cent punishment won't do, and there is
only one way to prevent the increase of
the crime. That is to make everybody
comfortably rich, and to provide an in
fallible cure of dyspepsia. The Erie war
is still waged. and promises to last as
long as the troubles between the houses
of York and Lancaster, or at least, as
ground. Mr.. Drew is tn, President
of that Company whose stock, in The
shape of steamers, etc. ,on Lake Erie, he
purchased of the Erie Railway Com
pany in 1862. He at first received from
$4,000 to $4,000 per annum from the
Company for the use OF each of his five
boats to convey passengers to and from
Durkirk and Buffalo. lie afterward adj
dcd two boats and made contract with
the Company by which he was entitled
to draw $4,000 per annum for each of
these seven, II $3.50, 00o for all. The
plaintiffs claim that in September of the
current year tAis contract was cancel
led, when the Erie Railway Company
paid Drew $500, 900 in prom ssory notes !;
and that the profits obtained by the de-
PENDANT, from running the boats, exceed
100000. They therefore demand an ex-
hibit of the accounts of the Steamboat
Company, that the proo,issory notes be
cancelled, and that Drew & Co., pay
81 900, 900 to pla ntiffs. 1t is pretty
fight as it stands and will be much more
interesting and amusing and instructive
before we hear the last of it.
1t is said that the President elect has
ordered velocipedc-one of this new

but don't believe the report. 1t is al
most as groundess as the one in Troy
paper to the effect that Horace Greeley
and Henry Waid Beecher in their last
Cicycle race were thrown off their We
hicles and badly injured. These re-
cious and envious people who have
failed as preachers and editors, or who

the Disaster on the ono.

Ihe Madison Courier gives the fol
lowing particulars of the fearful disaster
that occurred on Ohio River on the night
of the 18th inst.
A terrible accident occurred on the
Ohio River last night, at about 11:3O
O'Clock. The magnificent st anne S
United States, descending, and the
America, ascending. collided at Rays
Landing about two miles above Warsaw
OF the Indiana side. The United States
had aquantity of petroleum on her deck.
The America struck the United States
on the right-hanG side, f rward OF the
steps, cutting into her considerable
distance, and sinking her to her main
deck in about two minutes. A fire COM
mdnicated in some way to the petroleum
and as soon as the boats co!lided thew
were in names. 1t is said that some
mistake was made in the signals of the
America. She blew her whistles twice,
which the pilot of the United Stat s ap-
parently did not hear. The America
again signaled by two blasts of the whs-
tie, which the United States answered.
but it Was too late, the excitement was
terrible, and it is supposed that seventy
five or eighty people We're lost. Several
Lewis Vance, and o. B. Sappington of
Madison are among the missing. The
receiving clerk, James Johns, of the
United Sta es, is also missing. II is
estimated that thirty-three women, who
were passengers Oh the United States
were lost. w. G. Taylor, CLERK of the
America, after securing the books, reg
lister, and valuables, went through the
cabin kicking in the doors of the state
rooms. Because of this precautiOn and
cool intrepidity of Mr.. Taylor, there
were no lives lost on the America. Mr..
Inskop and wife jumped from the
United States to the deck of the Ameri-
ca, a distance of fife IN feet and were
saved. The survivors of the terrible ac-
cid.nt unite in praise of the manage
ment of the America after the collision.
Not thirty seconds elapsed after tne
boats collided befo.e the United States
was mass of flames from stem to stern
The America might have been saved,
had she not attempted to rescue the pas
sengers on the United States. Tnose
who were s.ved owe their lives to the
GOODNESS and courage of the officers and
crew OF the America. The pilot stood
at his post until the pilot-house was
burning around him. He then left to
avoid suffOcatiOn. The destruction of
these fine and costly steamers, resulting
in such terrible loss of life, and the
fears for the fate of those who are mis-
sing, have cast a gloom over the entire
community.
Further particulars of the collision
show larger loss of life than above
stated. About seventy-five cabin pas
sengers were on the United States, more
than half of whom were lost. AS near
as can be learned forty-fve passengers,
including eighteen ladies, and in add
ton seven Of the officers and crew were
lost, while only four out of twenty-five
deck hands are known to be saved. Ole
Bull was among the passengers saved.
The United States was built at Cincir-
natl, cost $230,OOO, and was insured for
100000. The America was built in
1867, anl cost 100000; insured for

prisoner has been sentenced to 20 years
imprisonment. The jury evidently be-
lieved the prisoner, who gave an account
of the murder, but discarded the idle of
insanity, which was argued with much
ability by the prisoners counsel. We
copy the closing proceedings of the
trial
THE VERDICT.
The jury retired to consider their YER
dict at $3.50, aud the Judges and couns i
for the Government retired to their no.
tel. the Samoset House. 1t was at first
supposed that the jury would not agree
till the next morning. TO the surprise
of every enc, however, The Judges and
other officia s connected with the Court
were, at / o'clock, awakened from theil
$ umbers by the announcement that the
jury had agreed on their verdict, and
were waiting to come into Court.
Most of the popu ation of Plymouth
had long before retired to rest, but the
few who were awake. We're very anxious
to learn the result.
The counsel fer the defence were sum-
moned and the prisoner was brought
into Court and placed at the bar. His
seemed pale and anxious. The Court
room was soon partially filled with a
number of spectators.
The jury came INTO Court at 1:32 this
am, and having answered to their
names, the Clerk of the Court asked if
| they had agreed upon their verdict.
The Foreman-Yes. The jury find
Samuel M. Andrews guilty of man
slaughter
The prisoner, on hearing the verdict,
seemed slightly relieved.
MOTION FOR SENTENCE.
The Attorney-General then moved
that the Court pronounce sentence.
Chief Justice Chapman asked the
counsel for the defence if they had any
desire for delay.
Mr.. Somerby said that they had not.
The facts were now IL fresh in their
hOnOrs' minds, and he did not know
| that there would be better time on
which to enter Judgment than now.
They left the matter entirely with the
| Court.
SENTENCE PRONOUNCED.
The judges then retired, but after a
few minutes cam, into court. The
Clerk of the Court said Samuel M. An.
ure"s, tne court having considered
your offence, has ordered that you be
punished therefor by confirming you in
prison, with hard labor, for twenty
years. The first day thereof to be solitary
imprisonment, the remainder with hard
labor at the State Prison at Charlestown,
and that you be remanded to the Jail It
Plymouth until you be removed to
Charlestown.
The prisoner, after consultation with
his counsel appeared in much better
spirits. The sentence was the heaviest
allowed by law.
THE WILL OF MR.. HOLMES.
1t is said that if verdict of murder
had been returned the will would have
been inval dated on proper legal pro-
ceedings being taken, on the ground
that Andrews, legatde, had killed the
testator wilfully, and so had prevented
him from ever hanging il. AS the YER
diet was manslau shter, the presumption
of the law is that the testatOr was Killed
in quarrel without intent, and conse-
quently the former ground cannot be le-
sally sustained. Possibly, however, eff
forts may be made to set aside the will
on other grounds.
