President declared in favor of the Blu
reau Welsh was the principal mover
on the Commission in this controversy.
Complaints are also alleged to have
been made by the Quaker Superintend-
emit and Indian Agent to the Northern
Superintendency that prejudicial state
merits had been made against them for
the purpose Of securing their removal,
and substituting agents attached to the
Episcopal Church.
The agent of the New York and Ham
burg steamship line has notified the
Postoifice Department that the steamer
Thuringia will sail to-day for Hamburg
via Plymouth England, landing the
Continental and British mails at Ply
mouth. ifF'p
The collector of the port of Boston
telegraphs to the Secretary of Navy to-
day that Captain Hopkins, of the British
bark Baker, from st. Nicholas, which ar
rived at Boston this morning, reports
that on January 2Sth she saw an Ameri-
can man-of-war off st. Nicholas, on the
northwest side of Hayti. When first
seen she was under steam, and soon
after started over to the east end toward
Cuba under sail and steam, going very
slowly. The ensign said her description
answered to that Of the United States
steamer Tennessee. The officers at
the Navy Department say that
no other steam or sailing vessel of this
description could have been in these
waters at that time except the Tennes-
see. 1t is considered that the Tennessee
met with headwind in trying to make
Mora passage, to the east of Dominica,
and it was probably the intention Of the
Commission to therefore abandon the
project of proceeding to SANTANA Bay,
and passing to the west of Hayti, at Do
mingo City.
1t now seems it was Captain Temple s
intention to land first at point on the
northern side of the island. The land
ing may have been made, and then on
account of contrary winds he may have
chosen the windward passage to the
west of the island rather than the pas
sage to the east on their way to Domingo
City.

The New York Star thinks the recent
concession of the English Government
on the Canadian fishery question indi-
Gates an armistice between Great Britain
and ourselves. Until lately she would
yield nothing. Let us hope as the tide
of concession has begun to flow it will
be as rapid now in its present amiable
direction as it was lately to the reverse.
The cordial reception of the Irish exiles
BY the city of New York is doubtless
one Of those things which British states
men viii regard as superauous, and is
likely to disturb, to some extent, the cnr-
rent of good feeling that has set in on
the part Of that nation.

Destructive Fire.

TALMAoUA, February IA fire broke
out about eleven o clock last night in a
blacksmith shop attached to the manu-
factory of Hovey & Co., destroying the
two adjoining houses and barn. The
plugs of the hydrants we're frozen, and
the insufficient supply of water made it
impossible to subdue the flames. The
Keystone House was pulled down to ar
rest the progress of the conhagration.
The losses and insurance have not yet
been ascertained.

THERE is no doubt that Democracy in
France is doomed and, as one of our
exchanges remarks, the German forces
will never leave the soil of France until
a Bonaparte, an 0rleanist or a Bourbon
is seated upon the Imperial throne. Eu-
rope will not permit France to fall into
hopeless anarchy. Its own seli-pre-
servation demands its prevention. The
Red Republicans promise nothing else
hence monarchy will be restored where a
republic might have Aourished but for
the French Radicals, who, having greater
opportunities, accomplish their work
more quickly and more effectually than
our own.

ACCIDENT OR MURDER.
A Man Crushed TO Death Beneath n

bale of Cotton ON Board the 81.
Franeiss
This forenoon about eleven o clock, a
Canadian Frenchman named Louis Ca
sey was crushed to death beneath bale
Of cotton on the forward deck of the
steamer St. Francis. Mr.. Casey was
well known in this city, was a shoe
maker by trade, and resided on Front
street, near Market. He had been work
ing for some parties on board the st.
Francis, and this morning went on
board to deliver pair Of shoes which
he had in a basket on his arm. On the
forward deck or foreeastle of the boat
there was a lot Of cotton, several tiers
in height. A gang Of roustabcuts were
throwing down the cotton and rolling
it out on the landing. As Mr.. Casey
passed beneath the tiers of cotton, the
negroes on top hurled bale down upon
him in the most reckless manner. he
was hurled to the deck, and the immense
weight Of the bale crushed his life out
almost instantaneously. Prior to this
several ether persons came very near
being killed by cotton bales at the hands
Of the same negroes. Immediately aftei
the sad occurrence the entire negro force
about forty hands-engaged in unload
ing the boat we're arrested by the police
officers, and placed in the Adams stree
station-house to await the result Of th'
Coroners inquest, which viii take place
some time this afternoon. tits believed
that the negroes who committed the dee'
were drunk, and threw the bale OF cot
ton down Intentionally, or with q reck
lessness amounting to a criminal intent

THE Pittsburg Post informs us that
the recent disasters on the Mississippi
river have attracted the attention OF Con-
gress, and will doubtless facilitate the
passage of bill, prepared in the Treas
ury Department, and now in the hands
Of the Committee on Commerce, for the
better security of life on vessels propelled
by steam. When may the people expect
any legislation in relation to railroads OF
a supervisory character 1t does not
seem to concern the law-pakers how
many are mangled and burnt through
the culpable negligence of railroad en-
ployes.

WAsHISGToE, February l4.-The sub
committee in charge of the Indian Bn-
reau investigation have closed their case
definitely, so Ia as taking evidence and
hearing counsel are concerned. The
feeling, especially in Executive circles,
is entirely favorable to General Parker,
who, it is claimed, has been enabled by
the introduction Of testimony which has
been delayed in transmission from the
West, to prove that he managed entirely
just. It is alleged that Mr.. Welsh, who
has assumed the position Of prosecutor,
will be shown 70 have entertained unkind
feelings toward General Parker from the
FIRST, owing probably to the fact that
when the Peace Commission was first
orEanized adherence arose between the
Bureau and the Commission, which the
