DISASTER 70 TINE STEAMER THOMAS POWELL.

Yesterday morning about four O'Clock fog to
some extent prevailed on the North river, and the
steamer Thomas Powell from Catskill, vessel Of
immense strength ran at full speed plump on the
pier at the foot Of Fiftyninth street. North river
Some idea Of the speed at which the steamer was
driving at the time and Of the powerful character OF
her build may be formed when II Is stated that she
tore literally through the pier sinking II under her
Keel and letting the river sweep like mill stream
over It., yet not copper nall appeared to be dis
turbed, though one of her wheel houses was shat
tered and her beam more or less displaced. To all
appearances she seemed dry docked resting CON-
fortably out Of the water on the sunken portion OF
the stone pier, with her bow and stern projecting
over 1t at either side. At nine O'Clock In the morn
Ing tug was brought up, and with one long, strong
pull hauled the Powell into her proper element and
took her home. One Of the paddles being injured
steam was used, and the tug towed her down TO her
wharf at Franklin street, where her repairs Will
doubtless be attended TO. Some fifty passengers
were on board at the time, none Of whom were In
jured, but all exceedingly scared.

REMARKS BY MR. RICHARD oGORMAN.
Mr.. o'GoRMAN next addressed the audience. He
said that there times In the life Of every man
when negligence was crime. When mans rights
self-asserton became the first duty, and to fail in
that duty was base and pusianimols. SO II was In
ss NE Of ne
when the nations future was betrayed, 1t became
the duty OF every citizen TO be politician, and he
failed vi" h ns rst p0 duiy which 'usn cit1sn
owed TO his native land. The danger OF
nations was seldom to be found among the laborlng
working men Of nation. The men WHO toll for a
country were always at their posts. But In the life
or every nation there were always found few
adrot subtle, selfish, reckless men, always anxious
to live by the abors OF working men. and often de-
sirous OF making every advantage out OF their mis-
fortunes. Inc speaker then reviewed the condition
Oh the country ten years ago and pointed out the
contrast which II now presented. The country was
disunited and weak and forced to cringe at the
feet OF every european despo who dared to raise his
hand against her. But the day was when they dared
not 90 SON the old democratic power-nor dare
,ne BIish non settle down and rest It's talons upon
tue n-Amerlcan citizen now confined In English
dungeons. But the republican Congress traded
about II and failed to do anything about the matter
OF the American Congress was wanted that
should set forth to the world that naturatzed
citizens nave all the rights over the earth Of
naive Dorm ctizens. tApplause.l II was now three
years since the war had ceased but vet there was
peace, and all owing to the despots OF Congress. He
dilated upon the nomination Of General Grant sub
hitting that while he was perhaps we'll ouaIifed TO
MI nis position OF Lieutenant General of The Army
ne dJ not think he was statesman emo Igh for the
hlgh ana important Office. He reviewed the policy
