The Mollie Able being detained AT 81. IIon;.

Il IA newspaper in Cincinnati called the Com.
Inaoner seems to think its mission on earth is
to abuse steamboats, and steamboatmcn, and
accordingly slashes right and left wheneve
it thinks 1t sees anything to condemn, and on
the slightest pretext, with only the faintest
rumor as proof While we believe that every
act of real wrong on the part Of steamboat
men should be well ventilated and heartily
condemned by all newspapers, we think that
all charges Of grave nature should be sup
ported by satisfactory evidence before news
paper reporter gives tho II to the public, else
the prejudice that will result therefrom will
work injustice to innocent parties. The pos
sibility of such injustice Is usually strictly
| enforced in criminal cases on shore and why
| should not steamboatmen have the benefit of Il
| so that when their trial takes place the case
may be judged only from the testimony pro-
duced. The fact Is, we are driven to suspect
that the vigor Of the 'Commoner's crusade
against steamboats, and steamboatmen is in
tensifed by railroad money which is being
freely used to supply the gall which drops 80
glibly from the reporters pen. The late re-
ports of the inspectors of steamboats, through
out the west shows that the loss of life is not
near so great AS by railroad transportation,
and the railroad interest Immediately sees
that something must be done to counteract
that fact.
Wese that complaint IL being made as to
the present manner ofgranting pilots licenses,
aud movement is on foot to endeavor to
have board of pilots appointed to license
pilots and one of engineers to license engin-
GERS. At first view this sounds reasonable,
but VIC are utterly opposed to il on the fol- |
lowing grounds;
First-If pilots and engineers not belong |
ing to any Of the mutual benefit associations |
should compose the board of inspectors, they |
could use their influence in almost entirely |
breaking up all such associations.
Secondly ifpilots and engineers belonging |
TO these associations should compose the |
boards of inspectors, they would be tempted |
to exe.cise their power 10 assist in making |
the associations unbearable monopoles. We |
therefore are in favor OF mixed boards of i'm |
spectors composed Of both pilots and engineers.
The two classes do not unite their associations,
md yet are ,olerably well qualified TO judg.
Of each others qualifications. There is always
,ne portion Of trsdesmen prejudiced against
he other portion of those who follow the same
vocation, and by mixing the pilots and en-
,ineers equally in the boards which grant
license, to both, we think oppression aud in
Justice will be avoided, ~ they would act as a
heck on each other.

The COLUMBIAN CoLLEGE.-The annual
report of the president Of Columbian College
shows that Its progress Is as great the past
as In any former year. A mansion has been
erected for the president on the most com
manding part Of the heights. The plans for
large edlacc for chapel, library and lecture
rooms have been prepared, to cost about
Ell, 900, and to occupy position whence II
will be seen from great distance, aud to be
fitted up with all the improved facilities fol-
instruction In every department. Several OF
the villa sites have been rented and substan-
tial cottages erected on both Staughton and
Chaplin streets. Contracts have been made
for row OF elegant residences between
Boundary and staughton streets.
The law department Is still prosperous,
having had seyenty-two graduates the past
year. The medical and theological depart
ments have also been efficiently conducted
and the number Of students Is increasing.
Ono year ago the trustees professed tc
grant perpetual scholarships for deserving
pupils who have graduated with honors from

| school cholarship-allowing one pupil eael
year to take two years. course; a scientific
scholarship, allowing pupil sent annual,
to take few years coursei and classica
scholarship allowing a pupil to be annual,
