| The WestGieId Inquest-Tbe Coroner
Issues warrants for the Arrest OF
the COmpanYss Officials.
Coroner Keenan's jury on the Westield
case to- day returned the following verdict:
That deceased, Andrew Coyle and Others,
died through the rupture or explosion of
the boiler of the ferryboat Westfeld,
July 80, 1871; that said explosion or rup-
ture was caused by flaw in the iron, and
by the negligence of the engineer, Rob
inson, in carrying an overpressure of
steam; that the company are responsible
for the disaster, as the defect could have
been detected if the Staten Island Ferry
boat Company had had competent SUI
perintendent, engineer and mechanics in
their employ, aud are, therefore crimi-
nally negligent. We recommend the
District Attorney TO take prompt action
in the matter. We also think that gov
eminent inspection is very imperfect as
now conducted.
There was one dissentant, Mr.. Kirk
land, who believed the fisW could not be
discovered by the ordinary method of in
spection.
Coroner keenan,, after the verdict, re-
tired TO prepare warrants for the arrest of
the President, Directors and Superintend-
ent of the Staten Island Ferry Company,
also for the arrest of Robinson, Eagi-
neer. Capt. Alair, of the first precinct,
to whom has been entrusted the warrants
for their arrest, received instructions
from the coroner TO make only formal
arrest and to accept their promise to ap.
pear before the coroner at his Office at II
O'Clock A. NJ, tomorrow.

Staten Island has lost nearly all of its

The Fight for the OFFICES.
The vacancy created in the Custom
house Inspectorship by the death of Col.
John Mcleod Murphy has not been filled
by the appointment of the widow of the
deceased, rs heretofore reported. The
place has been given to country pOliti-
clan, notwithstanding the wishes of the
President for Mrs. Murphy's appoint

Collector Murphy unfit for his position,
and that the Collector is opposed to Mrs.
Murphy on this account.
The subordinate Internal Revenue Off
cials appointed by PleasantOn in this city
and Brooklyn are fast being removed,
both at the Interior Department at Wash
ineton and local officers here. Appli-
cants to whom places were denied by
Pleasonton are row making rush on the
appointing powers for positions.
The Factions of New Orleans.
The Tribune to day publishes al srticle
upon the Republican Convention in New
Orleans. 1t says that nearly every Re
publican must feel indignant at such in
decent and wsnton psrversion of au-
thority as that which resulted in the
organization of two conventions st New
Orleans. To call convention in United
States Court Room in the ClstOmhouse
building was a gross political outrage I'M
precedented in the history of the country.
The Factions of New York
The dissffection among the Republican
factions in this city continues to be dis
cussed by the press and politicians. At
meetings of local organizations there is
denunciation of one wing of Republicans
by the other. Last night the Custom
house brigade was assailed at a meeting
of the 9th Assembly of the District Union
Republican Association, and few nights
since, at meeting held by the Republi,
can General Committee, MIR. Duganne,
the presiding officer, said that members of
opposipg clubs, though affecting to be
| Republicans, were at heart Tsmmanyists,
and aiming at the destruction of the Re
/ publican party in this city. He also de,
| clared that there were many of them IN
the pay of TammaDy Hall.
The Times this morning, in speaking OF
Republican politics, says that the disaffec,
/
the anger of the Tammsny Republicans,
| who want to hold all the United States
offices, besides those under Tammany
| Hall, and that q number of persons who
| adhere to the old General Committee can
not properly be described as Tammsny
Republicans, though men calling them
selves Republicans, and have attained
eminent position in the party, have used
theirinfluence for the political and pecunia
nv interest of the Tammany ring. Tit
headship of the Customhouse organization
is mainly vested in Collector Murphy
who is charged with being tinctured with
Tammanism on account Of the fact tina
he was Tammany delegate to the State
convention which put Hoffman in nomi
nation for the Governorship, to which hi
sccusers make frequent reference. The
CustomhOuse organization is vigorously
fought by the Union Republicans organ
ization, which is principally under the
guidance of Horace Greeley, of the Tri
bune, and which, as q body, refuses L
recognize the former organization.
