her of Persons Killed.

CINCINNATI, March lS.-The steamer
MAGNOLIA, the Cincinnati and Maysville
regular packet, which left here at noon to-
day with about one hundred cabin passen-
gers and a large amount of freight, ex-
poded her boilers twelve miles above the

greater portion of the cabin was carried
away, and the boat afterward took fire.
About forty persons were killed, several
being burned to death.
LATER-Out Of the 100 passengers and
forty crew, ffty-seven person are known
to have been saved.
The boat took fire Immediately after the
boilers exploded. After the remaining up
per works were destroyed, some powder ir
the magazine exploded, destroying every
thing but the hull, which soon sunk. Many
of the passengers jumped overheard and
were drowned, while others burned to
death. The Captain of the boat is among
the lost. The boat was valued at $4,000,
and insured for $4,000. The names of
the Southerners do not appear among the
lost or saved.

United States Supreme Court, etc.

WASHINGTON, March 18.-In the Su-
preme Court to-day the celebrated cotton
cases from Springfield, Illinois, were under
discussion. fI#
The Presidents counsel had long con-
sultation with him to-day.
The impeachment managers were to-day
engaged in the examination Of witnesses.
Having heard that claim agent had re-
ceived 5000 on a requisition from Adju-
tant General Thomas as Secretary of War,
they summoned the agent before them.
This testimony failed to prove the fact. 1t
appears, however, that a claim for that
amount was rejected by Secretary Stanton,
but allowed by Gen. Grant, while acting
as Secretary of War, and not until now
was the money ready to be paid.
The Ways and Means Committee has
completed bill providing for the collec-
ton of tax on whisky. 1t is very strin-
gent, and prescribes heavy penalties for
the perpetrators of fraud.

HAVANA, March 17.-When Madam
Ristori was announced toplay in the charac-
ter of Teresa, the Bishop of Havana inter
fered and denounced the performance to
the authorities, but it was not much needed.
The Bishop in consequence ordered the
curates in all the districts through which
Gen. Lersundi was to pass on his tour
through the country, not to ring the church
bells in his honor. Gen. Lersundi returned
and telegraphed to Madrid, whence he re-
ceived for reply to make himself be re-
spected. The Directors of the administra-
ton are unanimous on the subject. The
Bishop has been put under arrest in his
own palace, but will probably be sent to
Porto Rico to await orders from Madrid.
The Cadiz mail steamer has been detained
one day by General Lersundi to take
aboard two of the refractory curates An
audacious church robbery has taken place
here.
There are reports that the export duties
are to be increased. Foreign gold is
abundant. A sale Of two millions is re-
ported on the market.
Gen. Lersundi has returned, and ordered
the Bishop TO leave the Island, for his in,

The Cadiz mail steamer has been detained
to take the prelate aboard.
Several Spanish officers ia the Mexican
service have been implicated in the late
conspiracy. The plan was concocted by
Santa Anna, Marques, Sulaga and others,
and had for its object to proclaim in favor
of Ortegs. Some will probably be shot
Forewarning has reached the Mexican
goyernmnt of the plot to blockade and

THAD. STEVENS has taken rather q
strange tack on the Alabama question.
He came out a few days ago in a letter
to John w. Forney in favor of universal
suffrage When the bill to admit Ala
bama came up on the 18th inst, he moved
to recommit it to the Committee on
Reconstruction, on the ground that it
would be unjust to admit the State when
the Constitution had been rejected by
10000 votes. The Washington cores
pondent of the Louisville Courier says he
had been worrying his colleagues for a
week by pressing an amendment grant
ing suffrage to all male citizens of the
State, and allowing none to be disfrana
chised, and for fear he would insist on
his amendment, the advocates of the bill
made no objection to his motion to re-
commit the bill

sTAGNATION IN NEW ENGLAND.


There is much more suffering among
the laboring classes of New England,
especially the factory operatives, than is
generally supposed at the South. A la
boring man writing from Worcester,
Mass, recently, says:
Hundreds of persons are out of work
in this city, and we are no exception to the
general rule through the country. Our
large factories and mills in this section.
for we are strongly devoted to manufac-
lures, are either still, or running on frac-
tional time. If this state of things con-
tinues much longer, the result will be fear
ful. The working element enters largely
into the population of New England States,
and as they are, as a class, dependent on
their weekly wages as means of subsist-
ence, it is logical conclusion that they
must either obtain bread or starVe. Many
of them will resort to crime rather than
accept the latter alternative. The increased
work placed upon our police, and the con-
stantly recurring burglaries, and even
highway robberies, attest that statement"
The writer rightly argues that relief
must come from Congress, yet that body
is more intent on securing political
power than affording relief to a people
who are suffering from pinching want.
The laboring men of the North will cer-
tainly get their eyes open to the fact that
the Radical party which now holds high
carnival at Washington has no sympa-
thy in common with them To save them~
selves and their country these laboring
men will have to rally to the support of
the party which is in favor of return to
that union of the States which has been
disrupted by the Radicals, and which
will infuse fresh life and animation into
the trade and business of the nation.
