CONGRESS AND THE SHIPPING.

The Congressional Committee, that has
been busy for a long time in collecting in
formation and statistics in relation to the
shipping interest, with view to recommend
ing measures for its relief, has made a re-
port. We gave last week a synopsis Of the
measures recommended, which consist main
ly of a drawback equal to the duties paid on
material entering into ship construction the
right to take stores in bond duty free a
graduated bounty on vessels and steamers
running between foreign and home ports !;
and the removal or readiustment ofall special
taxes and leyies upon this class of proper
ty.
II is encouraging. even at this late day to
see symptoms of reviying regard for this
great interest on the part of Congress, that
has so long turned deaf ear to its entreaties
There can be no doubt we think, that the
carrying out of the proposed measures will
operate as & great relief. In time they will
stimulate the enterprising men Of the Allan
tic coast, especially in New England, to the
olden activity, so far as the altered conditions
of maratime wants will admit of it, There
is a tendency toward more rapid carving of
products as well as a preference for IRON YES
sells, and a consequent demand for steamers
in place OF sailing ships. The enterprise of
New England will accommodate itself to
this new want, and we shall see rolling mills
and foundries gradually added to existing
as the new wants assert them
selves
All this, of course, is prcdicated upon
favorable action Ny Cvn4ioo,. ~ ",
have nothing more than the labors of the
earnest man who felt the amentable decay
of our maratime interest, and the report Of
the committee. Congressional action ac-
cepting it, is as yet only 1.-THE substance of
things hoped for But we think that even
the almost impenctrable hide of official indf-
ference at Washington must be punctured
by the exhibit made, and that relief will be
afforded, One thing is certain that if the
sailing of ships and the education of Seamen
are neglected, the Legislators Of the interior
states will some day find that the readiest
door to their homes has been left wide open
to the foreign invader

The hall arranged with seats in the gallery

gallery sufficient to accommodate about six hundred
spectators, the tickets numbered to correspond
with seats, and the approaches supplied with in.

WHO Is RESPONSIBLE

The Bangor Wing makes lame defence
of its party for responsibility in the rum bust
ness. 1t says
Although the Journal would fam make party
capital OF this question, it fails to show that the
Democracy are not reprehensible, or that there is
any disposition on our part to shirk the RESPONSE
Who is responsible: Public Opinion is RESPONSE
bic. While the State of Maine is Overwhelmingly
partial to all our measures for suppressing the
liquor traffic and aboshing its evils, the public has
rested Its efforts entirely upon the law and has
failed to lend its influence to those in whose hands
the law is placed. 1t has given us law and
virtually declares that it must enforce itself 1t has
legislated for us, and then substantially repudates
its work by acquiesccnce in its violation.
Our intention is not to make party capital

and the supply from the factory at Washing

the hypocritical mask from the radical party
the party that, while protesting to be the
one specially favoring temperance, and en-
acting pronibitory laws, permits their daily
and gross violation, with murder as conse-
quence, for fear of losing votes, The Wing
talks of public opinion. Haven't you always
claimed that your prohibition resolution OF
last summer embodied public opinion ?
Haven't you made the same claim with res

isn't it correct definition of law, to say thai
it is the expression Of public opinion? We
think it cannot be disputed. Well, if YOU

prohibitory laws to prevent drunkenness anC

what a miserable hypocrisy your party is

SAD DISASTER.

RoCKLAND. Feb. % The schooner Fran
els Hatch, Of this port, Capt. Young, home
ward bound, while going in stays on the off
shore tack near Owls Head at about o'clock
last evening, caught upon a rock Three
men were sent in boat to carry out a kedge
to get her off. The men returned being un-
able to pull the boat against the sea, when
Capt. Young proposed to the mate, Mr..
William Grant that they should attempt to
pull the boat, accordingly the captain and
mate with the captains brother, Frank
Young, and another man named Parsons OF
Deer Isle, got into the boat They had pro-
ceeded about hundred yards when Parsons
who was in the stern sheets sprung forward
and said the boat was filling. The mate or
dered him to cast off the kedge which was
fast to the stern which he made an attempt to
do and again sprung forward probably Step
ping on the gunwale in doing so, and the boat
immediately filed and went down. Captain
Young and Parsons struck out for the vessel,
but Grant endeavored to assist Frank Young.
until finding they were both drowning he
struck out for the shore while Young swan
for the vessel. Mr.. Grant reached the rocks
and succeeded in getting footing and after
wards in reaching the lighthouse keepers
dwelling in an exhausted condition, but the
other three were all drowned The Francis
Hatch reached her wharf in this city this
morning.

The provisions ran short and were finally cx-
hausted, and they were six days without a
morsel of food. They had decided to draw
lots to see which one should die by his own
hand for the others to eat, when a favorable
wind came and the vessel the next day
reached Nassau. They were in terrible
condition from their long suffering and were
reduced almost to skeletons. argus
