Gen. Grant and the Presidency

Gov. Bullock, of Massachusetts,, was
inaugurated on the Sd inst. In his
message to the Legislature he endorses
Gen. Giant for President, in the fol-
lowing earnest and eloquent words:
an this dark hour Of the Nation S
exigency, we have need of leader
whose integrity is uneorrupted by po-
litical associations, and whose patriot
ism has not permitted him to descend
TO the arena of partisan warfare; of a
tride leader of undoubted courage, who
will be swayed neither by popular pas
sion nor sectional prejudice; of man
of cautious reticence, who has no incon-
sistencies to explain, no policies to
maintain, no theories to promulgate; of
a leader who comprehends the position
and relation of all sections of our com
mon country, and who will bring to the
administration of public affairs execu-
tive ability, economical ideas and an
honest heart.
1t is manifest that it is the same
Providence which brought us safely
through the storm Of war, that gives
this whole people now, with singular
unanimity, to recognize in plain, un-
pretending citizen him whose energy,
discretion, and exhalted patriotism will
restore peace and prosperity to discor
dant States and distracted land. The
man for the crisis-the man for the
hour-the man of the peoples U. S.
Grant. Before his pre-eminent fitness
for this high Office to which a grateful
people would elevate him, let personal
preferences yield--let faction sub
side--that peace, good will, and union
may once more and forever abide
throughout the Republic ,,
The Cincinnati Gazette, in noticing
this open and emphatic eadorsem ent of
Gen. Grant for President by Gov. Bull
lock, says: "The indications are that
General Grant will be nominated BY
acclamation at Chicago in May. The
only contest will be for Vice Presi-

Ohio, scalded and right elbow joint
dislocated.

bruised; - Muncie, barber, bad cut
on shoulder, left arm bruised; lst en-
gineer, slightly deck hand, deaf and
dumb, head cut and burned. Total
injured-9.
This list does not probably cover the
whole loss, and other losses may be
heard of hereafter. There may have
been some blown into the river and
drowned, of whom there is no account.
The river rose about foot Saturday
night, and has risen fast since, prevent
ing complete search of the wreck.
Among those who escaped uninjured
are three ladies, all that were aboard,
William Bear and Harry Bays, mate,
both of this place, John Levisay, pilot,
John Knox, mate, and Harry Chapman,
clerk.
We know nothing definite as to the
eanse Of the explosion. There are diff
ferent reports, some tending to throw
blame on the officers of the boat, but
we have nothing reliable. The officers
Of the boat were all experienced river
men, and had the reputation of being
safe and careful officers. The only
way to arrive atthe truth is to have 9
thorough legal investigation, and if the
responsibility of such horrible disas-
ter rests on any one, let him be pun
ished to the full extent of the law. The
boat was carrying about lis lbs Of
steam just before the explosion occur
red. But with no more data than we
have, we cannot attempt to explain the
accident with any assurance that we
are correct.

citizen of Ironton, and his loss win be

Terrible Disaster-Explosion Of
Steamer Harry Dean.

The Marietta and Cincinnati packet
Harry Dean, blew up last Saturday
about 1880 A. NJ, in full view of this
city, some distance above the bend
She was on her way TO Cincinnati, and
had left our wharf but few minutes,
when the larboard boiler exploded.
The force of the explosion was forward
and up, tearing to fragments the front
of tho boat as far back as midships,
and taking away about half of the texas.
The boat caught fire Immediately, but
fortunately drifted to the Virginia shore
below the bend, as the change just
made in her course to turn the bend,
aided by the strong wind, that was
blowing, carried her to the shore. Had
it not been for this, but few would
have escaped from the burning wreck
When the boat reached land the unin-
jured got ashore, and all who were hurt
and could be reached, were rescued.
As soon as the dull, heavy sound of
the explosion announced the disaster,
our citizens hastened in skiffs, barges,
and everything at command to the
rescue of the sufferers.
The steamer Edinburg came up
shortly after the accident to the wreck,
and took aboard the survivors, every
care being taken of the wounded, both
by our citizens and the officers of that
boat, that could be under the circum-
stances.
The officers of the Harry Dean, as
well as some of the passengers living
above here, returned home on the
Edinburg. The ill-fated boat was
freighted with about 400 barrels of oil,
which fed the flames, until the boat
was almost entirely consumed. Moth
ing is left except the machinery and
hull, which sunk, where it stranded.
1t is impossible to learn the number
and names of the lost and injured, or
the exact number aboard, as the boats
books were burned, and her officers
went up on the Edinburg without stop
ping here. The losses known are ar
rived at by the number found or known
to have been on the boat. Estimates
place the number of passengers aboard
at 40, and the crew at about 95. We
give below list of the lost and injured
as far as known:
