Rteamboat Explosion In New York,
10 KILLED and over 100 wounded.

New York, July 30.-This after.
noon at halfpast o'clock, the steam
ferry boat Westfeld, while lying in
the slip at Whitehall street, on the
East river, in this city, just ready to
start on trip across the river 70
Staten Island, crowded with pass.
.ncers-men, women and children
over 200 persons in alI--suddenly
exploded her boiler with terrible
effect. The conclusion was terrific,
SCATTERING the forward part of the
boat. and killing and scaldinga great
number of people. The hurricane
deck was carried overheard and fell
over a large number Of persons in
the water, who were drowned. The
scene was beyond description. Men
were struck dumb at the loss of their
wives and little ones, and women
were distracted at having lost their
husbands and children, while little
children were crying for their par.
ents who were lost.
The front Of the boiler was sud.
denly blown out, landing in the bow
thirty feet distant. The forward
part of the boat, upper cabin and all,
was Instantly shivered and split into
a thousand pieces. AS an eye-wit-
ness expressed it the forward part
of the boat was lifted fifty feet in the
air, the smokestack fell, and then
every thing was buried in the hold.
Passengers, chairs, stools, horses,
benches and life-preservers dropped
into the hold fronting the huge boiler
which poured out deadly volume of
steam.
Many persons were blown over
board. A father and mother had
their children blown from their arms.
The water in an instant was alive
with men, women and children strug.
Cling for life. The after part of the
boat, which had escaped the force OF
the ex ploslon, would have been safe
for the uniniured, but they were
panic,strcken, and leaped overheard
without regard to consequences.
The total number of lives lost is
not yet definitely ascertained, but is
estimated at about seventy, and the
number of injured at over hundred
There were about two hundred and
fifty persons on board

THE Milwaukee Ne,cs says that
the Republicans cannot make any
capital out of the New York riot =
since Democratic mayor prohibited
the procession and q Democratic
governor sustained it, thereby earn
ing all the credit. If the News had
added the fact that the Democrats
instigat ed the row, and furnished all
the material for the riot, it would
have given the party full credit
But the News agrees further, that
no professions have any right in the
street; therefore the mayor did right
to forbid this one. AS ANDY John
SON said, they are all un.constit.
utional.

The Breaking Of the Ring.

The -Ncv York Times has been of
incalculable service to its own city
and placed the country under infinite
obligations by it's bold and thorough
exposure of the robberles of the Dem
ocratic rulers of New York. Not
since the time when Fernando Wood
was publicly convicted by the news
paper press Of stealing ship, cargo
and all, has there been such an ex.
posure. Then Fernando stood alone,
but to-day The Times puts the brand
Of thief on four city officials, viz ::
HALL, the Mayor, CONNOLLY, TWEED
and SwEENy. But in this case The
Times has the battle with the public
robbers single handed and alone. So
far as we are able to find out not an.
other responsible daily newspaper in
New York has assisted in the fight.
Evidently they have all been "seen."
The Times commenced the war last
fall and has vigorously prosecuted it
since. On the Sth and Goth of this
month it published an array of facts
and figures taken from the City Con,
t1oller's books, which must have been
anything but pleasant reading for
the Ring. For they showed how
$2Sl,000 had been charged and paid
for the rent of twenty-five upper
lofts and rooms used as armories,
whose actual worth was SAC, 000.-
Ten of these lofts have been unoc-
cnpicd. and one never had an exist
ence at all-thus showing a clear
steal of S234 500 per annum. But
this was mere tlea,bte, to what
was drawn for furnishing and repair
ing them. For this purpose the sum
ofS94l 1885 was paid in a period Of
nine months. The Times gives in detail
the amount of the warrants, the pur-
poses for which they claimed to have
been drawn and the persons who
drew them.
IF TIE Times can get these facts
and figures fairly before those 100000
honest Germans who marched
through the city in procession the
other day, celebrating the victories
Of Fatherland, it will have broken
tie Ring SO that the cohesion OF
public blunder' shall never again
weld it, and, without question, have
given New York State to the Repub-
i,an party for the next ten years,
and secured for the nation Grant

Match-n aking.

The season when marriage is more generally
INDUCED in is now approaching, for it is gen
orally conceded that the holidays arrange more
marriages than any period of the year. We
presume it is because the sexes are thrown
more into each others society. Then again
money is flush, leisure and sociablity the rule,
hilarity rampant, spirits elated, hearts warm
all conspire in Cupid's influence in match-mak-
ing. Well where there is congeniality Of sonl,
heart taste, and mind where circumstances
make things equal-we conclude it Is good
thing to marry; but he sure that your aftec'
tons are pure and prompted by love, for II Is
feared that they WHO marry where they do not
love, will love where they do not marry, and
we could not insure that uninterrupted eonnu-
bal felicity, of 1.-TWO souls with but a single
thought, two hearts that beat as one in such
instances. Some people marry when there Is
no congeniality Of soul or temperament when
there is Just as much difference between their
likes and disikcs, as there is between chalk
and cheese. Some marry with every congen-
iaity possible and are happy. All might he
happy if they would adapt themselves to each
others circumstances ana peculiarities. Some
marry in hot haste and repent at cool leisure,
never having considered the responsibility mar
riage life would devolve. Some get good
wives, others excellent shrews Some get good
husbands, others improvident drunkards.-
Marriage has been described like running
your hand into a bag containing ninety nine
serpents and one eel-ninety- nine chances you
will miss the eel and get serpent But mar
riage is a commendsbe and divine institution
and people will marry and be given in mar
riage until the end of time. One writer has
said, IF you marry you'll regret it, and if you
don't marry you'll regret it, but as there are
"many men of many minds we advise every
one to marry, then you'll know how it is

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE
Southern Claims Commission, will re-
sumo its sessions Immediately after
New Years Day. In the meantime
they will take up two or three hun
dred cases now already for decision
and prepare them for consideration
by the House Committee on Claims,
if that committee shall desire to have
them submitted during the present
session under the operations of the
present law. The Commissioners
are only authorized to make one
report each session, and that at the
commencement of the session, but
the pressure from persons whose
claims are not included in the first
report are so great that a change in
the law may be effected.
There is no expectation that the
claims committee will be much de-
layed by any further examination of
cases, they being understood to be
satisfied with the Investigations in
regard to them by the Commission
ers. Unless an act to make an APP
preparation should otherwise provide,
those claims which were allowed will
be settled by accounting officers of
the treasury and under the ordinary
rules of that department. A num-
Der of claims were purposely omit
led with a view to further investiga-
ton.

The Speaker ruled that a two
thirds vote was required to adopt the
report as the sense OF the House,
because the adoption of its final re-
commentator wonld be the first
step towards impeachment.
The decision was overruled, and
the report was adopted as the sense
of the House.
At six o'clock Bowen introduced
a resolution that B. X. Scott, Gov
ernor of the State of South Carolina,
be impeachcd for high crimes and
misdemeanors. Bowen also intro
duced similar resolution impeach-

resolutions were laid over under rule.
