LOSS OF THE CAPTAIN.
Details Of the Disaster.

NEW YORK, September 25.-English pa
pers contain the following particulars of the
loss of the Captain:
About midnight on the sixth the ship was
in company with the Chanael feet, about
forty miles off Cape Finisterre, cruising I'M
der double-reefed fore and main tOpsails,
and fore tOpmast staysals, mainsail and
foresail hauled up, there being at the time a
very strong breeze and heavy sea.
The starboard watch had been called at
twelve o'clock. and were being mustered,
when a squan struck the ship on the port
side, causing her to give d heavy lurch to
starboard.
As she did not right herself, Captain Bur
goyne, who was on the bridge, gave an order
to lower the fore tOpsail, but i'll consequence
of the yards being braced sharp up, the ship
! at the time being on the port tack, it did
not come down.
Orders were promptly given to let 90 the
braces and let the main topsail down by
hand, but by this time the ship was again
struck by heavy sea and completely hove
on her beam ends with the water pouring
down the funnel, and she then turned bot
tom upward and gradually sank stern first.
From the time the ship was first struck to
her going down only from five to fifteen
minutes elapsed. The number on board at
the time was about $40.
it was thought that she had missed the
feet, not an uncommon occurrence on u
dark night. and when it is blowing hard.
and no one imagined she had gone down;
but alas, the sad fact soon became apparent,
when first was pick up a boat then a spar,
and subsequently IA man, who had dashed
himself to the grating but did not succeed
in saving his life.
On the morning of Thursday the
al, hoJ
the coast, brought intelligence to the flag
ship that one marine officer and seventeen
men had landed from the Captain.
Mr.. James May. gunner. states that he
was awakened about twelve O'clock ON the
night of the sixth, by some marines making
a noise outside his cabin. and finding the
ship more thar usually unsteady, dressed
himself to go on deck and see if the guns
were all right in the turrets.
When he got up into the after turret. the
ship gave a very heavy roll to starboard
and continued in that position. gradually
keeling over more and more, until be found
water coming into the port hole on the top
of the turret, through which ne crawled and
found himself overheard. He, however.
succeeded, with five others. including Cap
tain BurgOyne. in reaching the steamers
pinnace, which was floating bottom upper
most. and observing launch passing within
a IeW Farus or them, he crled out, NOW
jump men, this is your only chance
He and five others did so, and succeeded
in getting into the boat. They in vain en-
deavored to regain the pinnace to save
their captain, but the sea running so very
high prevented them, and in the attempt
they were struck by heavy sea. nearly
swamping the boat and washing one man
overheard.
1t was then determined to let the boat run
before the sea, as land was known to be lee
ward.
They succeeded in landing abont noon of

THE COURTS.
Eighth District Court.

State ex rel. McGrath VS.. James ID. Hous
ton.-In this case, heretofore reported
wherein relator asked a mandamus com
manding the respondent to register him as
a voter at the next election, the following
answer was filed yesterday:
The respondent herein, for answer and re-
turn to the alternative writ Of mandamus
issued in his cause, shows into court
|. That he is advised by counsel. and
verify believes, that this court is without
jurisdiction in the premises and has no au
thOrity to hear and determine the same
that the law has expressly taken from the
courts all authority to issue or determine
either writs of Injunction or mandamus, an
respect to his official acts.
2. That if all and singular, the allegations
in relatOr's petition were true, said relatOl
is not entitled to the said writ, for that it
appears thereon that the performance or
non-performance Of the act complained of
is, and was, not clear, unqualified statute
right, vested in all residents Of the State
that there are questions of dOmicile. etc, to
be determined and established by investiga-
tiOns that in this cause this respondent. in
determining whether said relatOr was law
fully entitled to register as IA voter, was. by
law, required to undertake an investigation:
that he has so investigated and tried the
question of the right of said relator to regis
Ter, duu, LII HIS uIStICtiou, lids uCtCl
that he was not entitled to register; that the
act is. and was, the excuse of his discretion,
which he used, was justly and honestly
used and exercised, and that the said ques-
tons of the manner in which he has per-
formed discretionary act can not be re-
viewed by this court by mandamus.
And for "A further return he saith that he
refused to allow said relator to register as a
voter. for the reason, among others, that
the said relatOr was and is not entitled to so
register under the law of the State, for this:
That said respondent, as the result of his
said investigation Of said right to register,
found and AYERS the fact to be that the said
relator was a soldier in the late so-called
Confederate States army, during and prior
to the year 1865, and was not, at that time,
a citizen of the United States OF America !;
that atterward, in the year 1867, it appears
that he obtained naturalization papers,
which this respondent believes were, i'll all
respects, fraudulent, and not based, as re-
quired by law, upon five years respect to and
obedience Of the laws of the United States.
The said respondent, therefore, prays that
the writ of mandamus prayed tor in this
case be refused with costs.

QUARANTINE AT PENSACOLA
NERVOUSNESS Of THE AUTHORITIES

The people of that ancient burg, Pensa-
have an odd way Of progressing backward.
Several months ago they were credibly in
formed that yellow fever was scourging
New Orleans, and believed the report. Once
in their lives they were fast, unfortunately
or fortunately too fast. Contradictions did
not move them from the belief, and the
sckly newspapers published there con-
tinued to agitate the subject until the
scourge really did appear here. The Com
mercial, not content with detailing facts.
drew a long bow. and on one occasion I'M
qualifiedly stated that twenty deaths occur
red in New Orleans in one day, all of yellow
fever. The statement was plainly willful.
Last week the Council of Pensacola re-
solved to quarantine all vessels from New
Orleans for the space of twenty days. Cap
tain Felsher, the enterprising owner and
master of the steamship Lizzie, sailed that
day or the one following, having a full
cargo, stores, provisions and passengers,
going from the New Canal. He arrived in
Pensacola at night, but had made q land
ing at Warrington, where two passengers
slipped off without his knowledge. The
Pensacola people were not frightened to
ueatn, DuC tncy apprOXlnate0, refusing 10
permit the vessel to land or to permit the
Captain to discharge his cargo or re-
lease his passengers. He was ordered
off, almost with violence, and was COM
PEELED to steam out into the bay.
Rather than remain there twenty
days, Captain Felsher, after much trouble.
procured fuel and started back for New
Orleans. His troubles were not over here,
for the underwriters refused to longer take
risk on the go' is, and the shippers would
not receive bat K their commodities. View
ing the situati, with no friendly feelings,
he raised steam yesterday and started for
Pensacola, and will doubtless give those
old-tashioned people another hair-raising
fright. and the laundering Commercial
will inform the world that New Or
leans is the worst city OH this hemis-
phere, and that Pensacola is the only
country town worthy of favorable mention.
We wish to inform the citizens of that vii
Iage-we do not really know whether it is in
Alabama or Florida-that the journals of
this city furnish daily reports of the true
condition OF yellow fever here therefore it
is unnecessary for cOuntrymen TO look in
obscure papers for the news. Evidently
there is malice toward us, but it is like
breaking your heads against granite wall.

Orleans Dramatic Relief Association.

The fourth and last subscription perform
ciation took place last evening at the Va
rieties Theatre. and, like all the previous
performances was very well attended.
ANY one acquainted with the drama OF
"Ruy Bias" knows that to make it effective
requires more than ordinarily good acting,
and more particularly in the parts of By
Bias and Don !Sallmste de Ba=an.
1t is no more than Justice to the person
ators of these two characters, Messrs. c. +.
Buck and I. LaHache, Jr., to say that their
parts were excellently conceived and per-
formed. In the other parts there is not the
same opportunity for the display OF histri-
onic ability. but they were all well rem
dered.
The part of Don Manuel was happily per-
formed by Mr.. K. u. Bauhlman, although
that gentleman was then suffering from Sc
we're illness, and was compelled to retire to
a sick bed Immediately after the close OF the
performance.
We have only space to say Of the after
piece, "a Regular Fix, that it was exceed
ingly well performed. If we were to par
ticularize. we might remark that the parts
of Hugh de Brass, by Mr.. j. Seveignes,
Charles Surplus, by Mr.. Stern, and Abel
Quick, by Mr.. Doll, we're peculiarly fine.
The lady performers in both pieces played
in their happiest vein, with an effectiveness
that might satisfy the most exacting critic.

THE KENNERvILLE HOMICIDE
PRISONER SHOT BY A PATR0lMAN
O0R0NER's INQUEST TUESDAY

Coroner T. B. Stamps held an inquest at
Kennerville, Tuesday afternoon, on the body
of j. Todd, who had been shot Monday
morning, between nine and ten o'clock, by
officer Pettiway, and who died at one o clock
Tuesday afternoon from the effects Of the
wound.
The post mOrtem examination was made
by DIR. Henry, of Carrollton, who found
that the ball had entered in the rear part of
the left side, about two inches below the
ribs, and passed, Obliquely, to the right
side, cutting through the entrails on its way
AS no third person was present at the
time of the shooting, there was no evidence
before the jury in addition to the result
of the post mortem examination, except the
admissions of Pettiway.
His account is, that on Monday evening
he arrested the deceased Todd, on a charge
of beating and abusing his wife, and dis
turbing the peace generally, he (Pettiway)
having partly witnessed the Ofense. That
he detained Todd Mt Kennerville on Mon
day night, and on Tuesday morning, about
nine o'clock, he started to convey his
prisoner to Carrollton. That he took no
measures to secure Todd, confiding in his
promise not to escape; but when about a
mile and a half below Kennerville Todd

among the weeds lat least eight feet high) J.
and was lost sight Of.
1t is proper to state that Pettiway was on
horseback and Todd on foot. Pettiway dis
mounted and fastened his horse, which gave
Todd a considerable start ahead. Petit
way followed among the weeds, but, neither
seeing nor hearing his prisoner, although
he called after him a number of times he
at length fired at random ameng the weeds,
for the sole purpose of soaring Todd, but
the ball took unexpected effect Pettiway
took measures to have the wounded man
| conveyed back to Kennerville. and then
| proceeded to CarrolltOn and reported the
catastrophe.
| The verdict of the jury was that Todd
came to his death from q gunshot wound,
| inflicted by weapon in the hands of James
| Pettiway, on the morning of Monday last
| between the hours Of nine and ten o'clock
| The Coroner subsequently made a charge
of murder against Pettiway, and he is now
in prison at CarroltOn to await the course
| of law.
Pettiway is an intelligent colored man
| of good address. He disclaims any inten
ton of firing at the prisoner, who was a
| colored man also, with whom, he says, he
| was on the most amicable terms, and he ex
presses the utmost regret at the occurrence
| He says he has been on the police force
since Mr.. Heath was Mayor, and appeals to
his supcriors for the correctness OF his de
| pertinent.
