About o'clock this morning Capt. Ed.
Dabeke, of the tug Ripout heard man
hallowing out in the river. A skiff went
out and took him off cotton bale. He
proved to be one of the survivors and told
of the accident. Steam was soon raised
on the tugs Little Giant and Ripout, and the
ferTy-boat Excelsior, which proceeded
to the scene picking up several on cotton
bales and planks on the way, and brought
all that could be found to the city, most
of whom were half naked and chilled,
and large number badly hurt.
A list of seventy-five saved is reported,
fourteen of them badly scalded or other
wise injured. Among the list of saved
we notice ID. ii. Abernathy, of Bartlett,
Tenn; j. L. Dow, of Dyer county, and
John Barber, colored, of Nashville. The
last named, with ]. Harper, colored, of
Memphis, and three others, took the life
boat Immediately after the explosion,
went ashore and turned 1t adrift. When
they were picked up by the Excelsior the
survivors talked of lynching them.
The names of thirty three of the lost
have been ascertained. Two bodies, a
negro and German, the latter about %
years of age, dressed in grey jeans pants,
were brought down on the Excelsior.
The officers of this boat say they saw
several bodies on the wreck under the
debris, but the wounded were suffering
80 from cold that they did not wait to cut
them out.
Captain Brolaski says he had forty five
cabin and forty deck passengers. He
thinks at least sixty are lost. The boat
had on thirteen hundred tons of freight,
including 1900 bales of cotton taken on
here. The boat was about ten years old,
and valued at eighty thousand dollars;
insured in St. Louis for fifty thousand
dollars.
On the arrival of the survivors here
they were taken to the different hotels,
where every attention is being shown
them by the citizens. A large number of
those saved are badly injured. Many are
unable to talk. The Captain thinks the
first clerk, Bowmaud, was instantly
killed, as he slept over the boilers. The
second clerk is safe.
The Latest.
MEMPHIS, Jan. Esd. Anderson,
barkeeper, thought to be lost arrived
here tonight badly burned about the
face. He says Tom. Leonard, his assist
ant was lost, also George Sweeney, por-
ter. The second mate, thought to be
lost, was saved and left for st. Louis on
the Lockwood. The body of lady ap-
parently about thirty years old, dressed
in black alpaca, brown hair and grey
eyes, was recovered this evening but not
identified. A body believed to be that of
the second steward was also found. The
cotton on the boat was insured in New
York. A large portion of it will be re-
covered.

JUDICIAL INTEGRITY.

The Cincinnati Gazette thus scores
Senator Sherman for questioning the in
tegrity of the Ohio Republican Supreme
Judges in refusing to set aside law and
allow their judgment to be influenced by
partizan considerations and party emer-
gencies. The Gazette says:
owe shall presume, until we see the
contrary in the GLOBE report, that Senator
Sherman, while remarking that the dis
franchisement of the disabled soldiers
was shocking to the feelings of every
citizen, did not mean to reflect on the In
tegIity of the court or the perfect Legality
of the decision. We hope that the civil
war has not so changed the temper of the
American people that we shall resort to
the San Domingo method of hanging the
Judges if their decision does not suit
present convenience, or of overthrowlng

The lesson TO be learned from these results
Is that the great reaction in favor of the Dem
