Loss of the Cambria.

The loss Of the steamship Cam
bria off tbs West coast Of Ireland
is a fearful calamity. The ship had
had a fortunate passage and was
just nearing port. On the night Of
the 18th, three miles West Of Lon
donberry, when the passengers were
congratulating each other upon the
early termination Of a tedious voy-
age, the ship suddenly struck upon
a concealed rock close by Mistral-
inc Island and soon began to sink,
The rush Of water into the hold
put out the fires of the engine and
left the vessel unmunagable in
high sea. The boats were manned
and the passengers that crowded
upon the upper deck were trans
ferred from the sinking ship to the
open boats, but the waves were
running so high at the time that it
is supposed all the boats were
swamped and all on board, save one
steerage passenger, drowned. The
Cambria was an iron ship of the
Anchor Line, sailing between New
York and Glasgow. 1t is said to
have been well oflicered and equip
ed. This disaster furnishes anoth-
er illustrasion of the fact that iron
ships, although stronger to resist
the action Of winds and waves than
wooden ships, sink more rapidly
in cases ofcollision than the latter,
and 60 to pieces more suddenly
when they come in contact with
rocks than any other species of.
vessel. This accident imprcsses
upon our minds the perils Of ocean
navigation The safest way of
the ocean is undoubtedly
by means Of the ordinary sailing
vessel or the first class American
sailing ship.-O. s. J0a,nal.

Vallandigham had the consum-
mate impudence, in a speech at
Hamilton, on the evening Of the
18th, to plume his oratorical powers
in n rhetorical flight Of rejoicing
over the fact that the dead ballots
Of three hundred battle scared vet,
Grams strewed the ground under
his feet, The sole crime Of these
men was that they fought against
rebellion their great misfortune is
that the beautiful home, provided
for their protection by grateful
Government, is located in an elect

1t takes no eye ofproplcoy to fore

come forth from their dust and

They Didn't DO 1t.

Before the election, it was claim
cd by our Democratic friends, that
on account of the right of suffrage
having been given to the colorcd
people, a great many Republicans
had become so much disgusted with
the Republican party, that they
would vote the Democratic ticket,
in this County. Did they do it?
Let the figures tell the facts. In
1869 Geo. II. Pcndlclon, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, re.
ceiyed, in this County, 1888 votes.
This wear, the Democratic candi
date for Secretary Of State received
1868 votes, or 20 votes less than
Pondleton received one year ago.
Now, if Republicans voted the
Democratic ticket this year, how
happens it that tile Democratic
vote is less now, than it was last
year2 If many Republicans voted
the Democratic ticket, this year,
according to our arithmetic, the
Democratic vote, this year, instead
Of being less, should have been
more than it was last year. Con
sidering that the colored voters vo-
ted the Republican ticket at the re-
cent election, our aggregate vote
was not as large in the County as
it should have been, being but two
votes moro for Secretary Of State,
this year, than it was for Governor
Hayes, last year; but the deficiency
certainly did not vote the Demo
cratic ticket, or the aggregate Of
their vote would have been largely !
increased instead Of being diminish
ed 20 votes. The truth is, great
many Republicans did not go to
the election, under the false i'm
preston, that, as there was q bolt
ing candidate for Congress, against
Mr. Smith, on the Republican side,
(Col. Loudon) the Republican can
didatc must be defeated, and there
fore, it was of no use to go to the
polls, and remained at home.

SIXTH DISTRICT.

We t. ink there must be a mis-
take in these figures, for they give
Smith a majority of 25G votes in
Highland, when, we believe his
friends only claim majority of
12l for him in that County.

- The Democracy Of this Con
gressional district are refreshing
themselves with the cool comfort
that Hon. John A, Smith was cleo
ted to Congress by Hjggcr votes, as
they call it. True, the colored vote
was cast for John A, Smith, and
the Republicans Of the whole Union
have abundant cause to be thankful
for this vote. "Thc colorcd troops
fought nobly" in the war, to save
the government from being destroy
cd by The rebels, while the Democ-
racy, in their party organization,
did all in their power to defeat the
government in its efforts to put
down the rebellion and restore the
rebel States to the Union, Then,
how else could we expect the col
orcd troops to vote, but for the Re
publican ticketY for they are Re
publicans, and have proved them
selves to be true to the principles
of the party and the best interests
Of the country, by voting to sus-
tain the party that sustained the
government in its Lloody struggle
for sclfproservation and perpctua-
ton. But after all, we would sug
gest whether our success, at the
late election, was not owing as
much to an equal number Of white
votes, as TO the colored'vo

Of England
LONDON, October 23.-It is init
mated that Russia, not joining Eng,
land, Austria and Italy in the effort
to bring about peace, is acting in.
dependently, but energetically, in
the same direction.
1t is said the basis Of peace likely
to be accepted by the Prussians is
! the renunciation Of territorial spo-
l0tion from France on receiving
Luxembourg.
1t is reported further that safe
conduct has been asked for Thiers
to enter Paris in order to obtain
the acquiescence Of the Govern
ment.
The Times says Bazaine, whom
offering to surrender, demanded
for himself a position which would
probably have enabled him to take
a prominent part in the restora-
ticn of order in France after the
conclusion ofpeace.
Gen. Boyer, on leaving Yer
sailles, went to Luxembourg to
meet Raimbeau, who had previous
ly been to st. Petersburg, to 90 as
an envoy to Napoleon at Wilhel-
mshoehe.
LONDON, October 2l,-It is said
Laurier, agent Of the French Gov
ernmcnt, has arranged loan here
with j. S. Morgan & Co., bankers,
for ten million pounds at six per
cent. interest price IS. 1t is be-
Iievod that the loan will be prompt
ly taken in the London market.
