Collision In q Fos-Decision by Judge Bcne-
dict.
Pat'1cE O'Dav cs The Steamboat Hatte,oan Ac.-
this case yesterday
The steamboat hattewau, bound from New York
to keyport, was proceeding down the bay In dense
iox ana the the sloop Farmer was worklng ~ sweeps
OF greaer safety on the east shore OF the bay There
was at the tune but little WIND. A f0g horn was
constantly blown from the hoOp ana Q whistle
was constantly sounded from the steamUoat
Wnile the steamboat was running shut on close abe
stopped and backed, and then stopped, by wnach
man,euvre the speed OF toe boat LhrOugh the water
she was allowed TO drifl shortly the sioop appeared
through the log at very short distance away 1t
was then too late for tho steamboat to avoid her,
there Is no dispute; but on the part Of te claimant
1t IS insisted that upon these facts under Che ruling
q. O., page "a, there can be no recovery hiasmuch
as both vessels had undertaken 20 move In q dense
fog. The case OF the Sylph was q OF coillsion
between two steauboats IN fog where both vessels
stopped and were backing at tine time OF the blow.
Tne court below considered that the nature OF the
blow indicated that the Sy Jpn had not checked her
way as much as possible and she was, accordingly,
In fault. The court above, however, held that sush
duced from the evidence, and added that tue court
would not feel bound to examine into confiictin0
sells had deliberately undertaken to navigate tie bay
IN dense fog. Neither the adjudication Of the case
or the Sylph nor the remark OF the court
which ! nave quoted has any bearing upon
case like this. Here iC is shown by the pilot
and engineer OF the steamboat that although they
were running IN dense fog, and made aware OF
the presence OF an approaching vessel by her horn
they omitted to give their vessel stern way, as they
trary allowed her TO dr1t down upon the approach
Ing vessel and 30 caused the collision. In fog the
steamboat cannot under ordinary circumstances
take any chances. She must exercise oil the pre-
caution possible, and a clear duty on the part
OF the pot Of the steamboat under tao circumssan-
ces on hearing the horn OF the s0Op ahead, al once
10 give his vessel sternway, instead OF which he
lowed her to drlft, and sne thus came under the
BOWS 0l the sl0Op. THIS negligence must render
hiin liable Tor the damages sustained by the sloop.
Let decree be rendered accordingly, with an order
OF reference to ascertain the amount

System Of Extertions that Aggregates Hand.
somely fer the Pension Agents and Robs the
Poor Widows.
Payment OF pensions to widows OF soldiers killed
during the war, begun the Attn instant In base
ment room OF the Custom House, is still DAILY con-
tnued under the direction OF General Lawrence
Pension Agent Thus far about 2 500 have been paid
from the list OF 5000 whom General Lawrence has
to pay. To facilitate despatch the once is
kept open from early In the morning till
late In the afternoon, and yet such IL the
crush Of persons to bc paid that very
many have to attend day after day waiting their turn
to receive the payments due them. At the present
rate OF progress 1t will take two weeks longer
to get through the list. Too frequent description
has been given in the HERALD OF the poverty
appearance Of the widows and mothers who put In
their semiannual appearance here for the pensions
allowed them by the government on ccount OF hus-
bands and sons killed Ia the late To render fur
erty In their most rugged, most woe-b begone and
most pltlfu phases stare one In the race and stony
hard IS the heart that n0l moved at the spectacle
Payng these pensioners Is not TO be characterized
rs an act OF humanity by the government. 1t IS an
act OF duty, and most ptiful Is the amount paid.
And Jnis is not all. The most unjust extortions,
though made legal by Congressional enactment
accompany the payment. Every WIDOW has to pay
seventy cents, or rather this sum Is deducted from
the amount due ner before she gel her penson.
In the first place. twenty-five cents are exacJed for
making out the papers ana then fifteen cents each
for three 0aths respectively OF two witnesses and
the one to whom the pension is TO be paid.
one woman came there yesterday from Forty second
street. She was told that she must bring two wit.
nesses to swear that she has not remarked her
husbands death, on whose account the pension was
claimed. IL was anew arrangement, and the first
she mad heard OF It, The result was that she had to
hunt uD her Witnesses ana pay two car fares each
for them, besides own riding altogether putting
her 10 an outlay or 81 IL before she got her
pension. As may be imagined, there Is good
deal OF complaint. 1t Is alleged that the wnole
system OF paying these pensions Is wrong;
tnat 1t Is system devised TO be greatly beneficial

TUE TRADE OF CHARLESToN.-The
indications are numerous and lncreas.
ing that the very striking advantages
enjoyed by this city for, prominent
commercial centre are steadily and
surely forcing themselves on public
opinion, and must, ere long, coneen.
trate a large and growing Southern
trade here. AS an evidence of the diff
of events, it may be statedas a crafty.
ing fact that Charleston was the only
cotton port tRatshowed an increase of
receipts for the month of. September,
1870, as compared with 1869. Consid-
ering the strong competition at the va.
'rious Southern centres to secure cotton
consignmerts, this large growth in the
stream this way affords much encour-
I.agement. All persons connected with
the handling of cotton. and other South
1crn products at this port, are using
their best efforts to give rapid aud cheap
