being styled "a combination OF Disraeli ana
Debrett." Mr.. Disraeli, in his speech, stated
that the Ministers regarded the question OF
reform as now beyond the range Of party debate,
and that 1t need no longer affect the fate OF the
Cabinet. moderate Reform bill was accordingly
introduced into the House Of Commons, but this
action caused the resignation Of portion Of the
Cabinet, and within week it was withdrawn. In
March, 1861 an amended bill, more liberal In its
scope, introduced by the Government, and after
whstandng the assaults Of the opposition and suss
tanning material notifications, was finally passed.
Mr. Disraeli having by his conduct OF this measure
become the acknowledged leader Of the conserva.
tives, Lord Derby, few days after the opening of
the Parliamentary session OF 1858, retired from the
position which he held as nominal head of the Cabi
net, and the ambition of his "right-hand man" was
finally satiated with the Premiership. Lord Derby
had entered upon ONCE for the last time with reluc-
tance, and the infrmties of age caused him to de-
cline to serve any longer as the mere hgure-head or
the Disraeli Government. From the time of his re-
trement he continued in feeble health, and his death
at the mature age Of siXtyegh years has given rise
TO no surprise.
The late Earl was elected Chancellor OF the Uni
versity OF Oxford on the death of the Duke OF Well
lington, in 1852, a position to which his rare cul-
ture and valuable literary labOrs justly entitled
time. His most prominent work was a translation of
Homer, published year ago. and received
with universal favor on the 31st of May, 1926 the
deceased was married TO the, Hon. Emma Caroline
Wibraham, daughter Of Edward, Lord Skemers-
dale. Three OF their children, two sons and a
daughter, died in infancy, and three survive. The
eldest son, commonly known as Lord Stanley, who
succeeds to the title and Estates has long figured in
the politics Of Great Britain, having held several
Cabinet positions, including that of the Secrc,arysnip
OF State for India, to which he was the first one ap-
| pointed and in the late Conservative Ministry that
Of Secretary Of State for Foreign Affairs. The Hon.
| Frederic Arthur Stanley the second son. is an
officer in the British army and the third child is a

ful Scene ON Board.
A correspondent of the Marquette! Ciichigan)
City of Toledo during a storm recently gives the
following account of the scene on the boat -
Ihe steamer had run run through the entry and was
into the sea, which came heavier at ev cry regou-
ton OF ner wheels Finding It Impossible to lie in
any bunk, hurried on my clothes rapidly as pos
sibe, and staggered into the cabin, where most OF
the passengers-about forty in number-were con-
gregated All on board exhibited more or less fear
on account Of the fearful plungihg OF the steamer,
which was now running into heavy sea, about
shifted from the north to the northeast and blew
with redoubled violence, making what sailor
called a "hay-CoCk' sea- The steamer up to this
time had been making good weather, with the sea
ahead, but now the sea struck her under the guards
with ressless force almost impossible to conceive
and 1t was evident that she could not live long in
that position. An order was Immediately given to
bear down for Huron Bay, in hopes OF making
harbor, and an effort was made at TO bring her
about Every one was at the highest pitch OF excite
ment, as the noble little craft slowly rounded to
clear breach over her. At this point the
scene on the main deck was one long TO be
remembered The rumor had gone round that
the steamer would be lost, and strong men be-
came paralyzed with fear, and dropped ON their
hands, and cried out in despair; and for few mo-
ments it seemed doubtful whether the noble boat
would ride or sink. She was in the rough sea, more
wild and terrible than we ever imagined would occur
upon the lakes. She made several fearful lurches
before coming round, and the angry waves striking
her beam, tore out her gangways on both Sides and
rolled across her deck, Knee deep Trunks baggage
and light freight was swimming about In an indis-
climinate mass and deck hands and steerage pas
sengers were cnging TO the stanchons TO keep from
being washed overheard The clerk, Mr.. Garfield,
being afraid 10 remain longer in his oflce had come
out and was holding ON TO the doorpost, expecting
every moment TO be his last, but resolved to leave
no plan for safety untrled. His oflce was Hooded
with water from the main deck, and at every plunge
of the steamer the decks were swept clean by the
seas. She was finally brought about and headed
back for the entry, where she arrived at five O'Clock
4. NJ, meeting With no further trouble since after
turning round she rode more easily before the sea.
Had the steamer been less staunch, she would GER
tainly have been LOST

OBITUARY.
The EarIOr Derby

cable telegram announces the death Of one Of
the most distinguished statesmen which the nine
teenth century has produced in England the yene-
rable Earl of Derby, who held, until within year
or so past, the position of acknowledged leader OF
the conservative party.
Edward Geo1rey Smith Stanley, the fourteenth
Earl of Derby, and Baron Stanley, was born on the
goth of March, 1893, at Knowsey Park, Lancashire
The Earldom of Derby, which he inherited, and
which now descends TO his eldest son, Edward
Henry Smith Stanley, styled by courtesy Lord Stan.
ley, was conferred by Henry W. in 14S5, upon the
then representatives OF the old and heroic Stanley
family of Lancashire, for acts OF devotion to the
sovereign ana manly prowess upon the celebrated
field OF Bosworth 1t has thus remained i'm the
Stanley family for nearly four centuries and during
that long period the title has been borne by MANY of
the most illustrious men who figure in the history
OF England For more than two centuries the
Earls OF Derby also held the sovereignty or ths
Isle of Man. under the suzeranty OF the Kfno n,
England, and 1t was not until the reign OF Georgo
III that this sovereignty was transferred to the RI
tish Crown
At an early age, the late Earl was sent to Eton
College, from which institution after the customary
term of residence, he was entered as a student of
Christchurch College, Oxford. During his academic
career he attained to more than ordinary dstInoon
but never graduated In 1891, when he had searceIy
attained his majority, he entered upon his long DO.

Improved Condition of Thomas Ewing, Sr.
Special Despatch TO The Erenirg Telegraph.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 23.-Thomas Ewing, Jr.,
is much better this morning, and hopes are now
entertained of his recovery. He is still at the
Supreme Courtroom, however, his friends being
afraid that an attempt to remove him might
result in a relapse He is quite conscious to-day
and converses freely with those around him.
Custom House Carriage system Frauds.
Despatch to The EUening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-12 M.-The Treasury
is now engaged in perfecting plan for prevent
ing frauds in the custom house carriage system.
As things now stand, each drayman gives an
individual bond for small amount, but as the
packages to be hanled from the wharves to the
appraisers office are sometimes very valuable,
the security is not sufficient The plan proposed
is to make a contract for this job, and place the
contractor under very heavy bonds and make
him responsible for his draymen.

GRANT.
rhe PresIdent nnd IIls sInnIerers.

Tne ffcsIuenl SitlhuefefSs
The New York Times of this morning publishes
this editorial respecting the ISLANDERS upon our Presi
dent-
slanderers of the President. What they burst not
say boldly they suggest by base insinuation. Unable
to establish single point against him. they insist
that he shall be held responsible for the acts of
persons over whom he exercises no control.
They propose to punish him for the follies
and sins of Corbin and ButterGeld. And
dence to establish his connection with these
persons, they have dragged in The name Of a lady,
ana have resorted to forgery 10 furnish pretext for
the assault The men who employ these tactics are,
morally, outlaws. Characterless themselves, they
shrink from no trick, however contemplate from
no fraud, however infamous, from no falsehood,
however fiagrant, to give color and pausbility to
their allegations All arguments with these men is
idle all exposure is TO them matter of Indifference
The case as seen by the public wears different
spiracy, the standing and motives of the cOnspira-
tors all understood The slanderers of the Presi-
Tammany, and the blending OF partisan intrigue with
gambling and speculative knavery, are thoroughly
understood. This knowledge OF the assailants of
General Grant predisposed the public to Judge him
favorably. They weighed his character as against
theirs, his antecedents, associations, and word
against theirs, and accepted his denial OF their
stories conclusive. They looked at what pur-
ported TO be evidence and discovered that 1t had no
proper reference to him; They called for further
proof and are met with the pretended contents of
letter which on inquiry is declared forgery.
Falsehood and forgery Such are the beginning
and the end OF the means employed by the gold
gamblers in their work of defamng the President.
The attempt to complicate the question affect
ing the conduct and position OF the President by
Corbin and Butter1eld, is equally unavailing. He
must be judged only by his acts they by theirs The
vindcation OF his character concerns the country
the vndicaton of theirs concerns principally them
selves. 1t is not our desire our duty to exempt
Mr., CorDin from the penalty of his almost criminal
folly nor to screen General Butter1eld from the
of1cial investigation which the Treasury is bound to
institute into his acts
