ensued. The women shrieked, and one, II Is said,
was 80 terrified that she threw her child, baby in
arms, into the sea. The men rushed In all directions
seeking mode OF escape, and fought and strug-
ged with each other in their anxiety to get board
the schooner.
Many persons it Ia confidently asserted were
Knocked into the by the first shock and we're not
rescued. One man, who played prominent part in
striving TO restore something like ORDER says that he
saw eight men and child fall overheard, OF whom
only two were rescued. His testimony is confirmed
by other passengers, who assert also that both VIII
son, the captain and Sealey the pilot, were under
the influence OF liquor and incapable, and that when
the accident happened the command OF the Norwalk
was assumed by a seafarng man named Collins who
Is now an hotel-keeper in this city, and who had
previously jumped over the side and saved man
Several other deeds of personal daring are re-.
corded. Mrs Mcdonald and her child fell into
the water and were both rescued by man named
Bddle, who c0ntrived to grasp rope that was
hanging over the bows OF the Lady Ellen.
It is also reported that Dan Kerrigan a WE'LL
known sporting character in the Bowery, rescued
several persons. II Is said that the lamps of the
Norwaik were not lighted apd that the collision
could easily have been avoided
When the excitement was at its height the tug
boat Howard, Captain Leonard Kipp, came mp TO
gers on board the Norwalk called to the captain
to come close. Others, who had more presence
would DO swamped by the numbers who would
crowd into her. Ultimately the Lady Ellen took
in sail and received about 15o of those on board
| the Norwalk, when hawser was thrown 10 the
Howard, whoh proceeded to tow the Norwalk
tOwarGs Red Hook. But the danger was not yet
over, icr ,arm was given that the latter vessel
was sinking, Fortunately this alalm was premature
bit there was little time to lose She was taken to
Burtis' shipyard close to Red Hook where her pas
seDgers were dlsembarked, ana they had scarcely
done so before she sank TO the bottom of the river
The schooner was ultimately towed by the Howard
to the Brooklyn slip OF the Hamilton ferry, where
the remaining passengers were put ashore.
Itwould seem, from the statement OF passengers,
that at least six il not eight persons were drowned
The passengers have il is said formed committee,

THERE is certain sardonic humor that
savors of Bismarck in the proclamation issued
by the King of Prussia which announces that
''should Napoleon persist in the forcible ex-
pulsion of Germans from France, no mea-
sures of retaliation will be adopted by him,
as it would be unfair to punish men who be-
long to a country cursed with a Bonaparte
for a sovereign" Bismarck has outwitted
Napoleon both in the Cabinet and the
field, and he can afford to show his contempt
for such an antagonist and his pity for the
French people who have submitted so long to
such man. Whether the French will appre-
ciate his sympathy or not is another matter,
for the occupation of French soil by the
Prussians is as much disgrace as if the war
was against the French nation and not against
the individual Bonaparte who has led it into
its present difficulties, and the danger to the
Prussians now is from a united France eager
to repel hated invader, rather than from the
broken down politician who has been attempt
ing to play the part of Cesar.

-ADMLRAL -FARRAGUT.


By the death of Admiral Farragut the world
loses the greatest naval hero of the age-one
who by the brilliancy of his achievements
more than sustained the historical prestige of
the navy of the United States, and who,
whether amid the crash of battle on the Mis-
sissippi or in Mobile Bay, as the honored
guest of the princes of Europe, among his
fellow-citizens, or in the retirement of his
own home, was ever distinguished by the
quiet dignity, the unassuming modesty, and
the refined courtesy of O true gentleman.
Admiral Farragut was the beau ideal of
naval commander. He knew not the name of
fear, and he was as bold in the conception
of his plans of battle as he was skilful
and daring in their execution. He struck
hard blows and he struck to win, and the
cool, determined valor with which he led the
van of battle inspired those under his COM
mand with confidence to follow his blue pen
nant wherever it might take them. Although
his death was not unexpected, it will be great
blow to the nation, which cannot but mourn
to behold the heroes who upheld the honor
of the flag during the darkest days of the Re-
bellion dropping away one by one; and

another place we give an elaborate sketch of
the deceased Admiral's career, SO that it is
unnecessary for us to refer particularly in
this place to his great achievements, and we
merely offer this brief tribute to the memory
of one of the bravest, noblest and purest
minded public men of our day and genera

The Brooklyn Election Fraud Cases-The
Convictions Affirmed by tho General Term

The General Term Of the Supreme Court, second

have promulgated their decision In the Brooklyn
election fraud cases, anirming the conviction
OF Barney MahOney twhCse case was
q test one) in the Court of Oyer
and Terminer. Manoney was a canvasser
in the Sixteenth ward and was convicted Of having
willingly lost the returns Of the vote in the district
in which he acted. Henry p Mayo and Michael
Ham on, Of the Fourth ward. were convicted OF
having made false canvass of the vote In their dts.
trict; and Justice James Buckley and George Brown
OF the TwenIyfrst ward were convicted OF refusing
to canvass the vote az the law prescribed. Judge
Gilbert sentenced Mayo and Harmon TO the peniten-
tary for three months each, Mahoney for thirty
days. and Buckley and Brown to jail for ten days
each.
Others. The same questions which were raised in
that applied to the others The counsel for the
ceedings OF the Grand Jury which found indict-
ments. Counsel raised the point that the Grand
Jury sat in the evenings when the court was not In
session, and that 1t continued In session after
Judge Barnard had lett the City and gone to New
burg and was holding court there. The defendants
counsel also contended they merely forfeited their
pay as canvassers that II they failed to discharge
their duty.
District Attorney Morris made cogent argu-
ment sustaining the convictions, and held that 1t
was not necessary that the Judge should sit all
the while when the Grand Jury was transacting busi-
ness so long as the court existing az court in
session.
In view OF this decision of the Genera! Term the
counsel for the defendants will probably carry the
cases TO the Court OF Appeals The decision IL re-
and point In favor OF District Attorney Morris ovei

An application was made before Surrogate John
W. Mills of Weschester county, yesterday morning
at White Plains for letters OF administration on the
Will OF John Bussing deceased involving property to
the amount OF about $3oo.Oco, the validity OF which
is contested on the ground Of alleged insanity OF the
testator. The dec ,ased who was resident of Yon.
