Terrible Disaster.

AS tho Staten Island ferry-boat West
field was starting from her dock at the foot
of Whitehall street, next the Battery, New
York on Sunday last at 80 with heavy
load, composed mainly of the usual class of
Sunday excursionistS, to the number of
about 300, her boiler burst, with, a tremen-
dous explosion, shivering the entire upper
works of the boat into thousand pieces,
and laying open the whole forward part of
the hull from the very keel.
The spectacle on tho Inflated vessel sub
sequent to the explosion is beyond descrip-
ton. A great yawning abyss stretched
from abaft the engine room close to the
stern, and the deck seemed to have opened
like sepulchre to swallow It's load of pre-
cious human freight in the dark hold be-
meath. The dead and dying were lying
about in every direction among the debris
of broken timbers, splinters and heavy
machinery. From midships to the cut
water the boat presented vast hold file d
with fragments Of spars, beams and bull,
warks and fragments of iron. Bodies,
debris and portions of the wreck fell among
tho passengers and increased the confusion
Many people fell in the river, and being
unable to help themselves, were drowned.
Boiling water was scattered in all direction,
scaiding those who were unable to get out
ofits reach. The wind was blowing inward
at the time, and forced the water on the
part of the boat near the dock, where the
greater portion of the passengers had fled
to. The injured persons were taken to the
Park Hospital, to the First Precinct Station
House and to Bellevue. A great number
were taken to the hospital in the Park,
which was soon filed, and they were forced
to send the remainder to Bellevue. The
screams of the wounded were heart-rend-
ing, and the hospital was a terrible scene
to behold. The wounded were lying every
where. some on beds, some on blankets,
anil others were walking around grooming,
moaning and crying. The latest accouts
make the corrected list of the dead number
10 and wounded 1922

They are trying to do what they have
promised to do, so that the new reform
party will have no platform better than
heir own. They demand an earnest eff.
tort to purify the civil service of the
government. They promise that the
revenue system shall be made more lib
eral and more enlightened. They
promise, that Consressshall adopt uni
versaiamnesty. They promise, in short.
that the Republican party shall be what
1t pretended to be when the last Chicago
platform was adopted-honest, eeonom-
leal and just. This awakening of the
better sentiment of the party is what
alarms the traders in political spoils.
They have sounded the alarm already.
They will not accept the surrender of
the democrats, because their own occu-
patton would be gone. They are labor
ing to keep alive the old party animos-
lfles IN order to cover their own sins.
We have great faith in the efficiency
of the new Democratic movement. be-
cause 1t will put the Republican politi-
clans on their good behavior and force
the Republican party to make reforms
which it has always promised but too
ong neglected. The party which leads

lou will observe from the drift of the
above discussion, thai all land of
swampy character, or subject to inunda-
ton, was most certainly granted to the

it was the intention of the Government
to give the States control of all land,
wherever situated, that required arti-
fetal works of any kind whatever, to
render it fl for cultivation.
There appeared in the Rural Press on
the 4th and 1lth of February last, an

Political.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says that if half dozen in
dependent Republicans in the Ohio leg
islature refuse to attend the legislative
caucus and to support Mr.. John Sher-
man for Senator, other Republicans who
are for him will vote for Mr.. Thomas
Ewing or Mr.. William S. Groesbeck, in
order to beat the Independent candidate.
The Enquirer, however, declares, that
this trick is easily seen through, and
it will not win. The democrats are
not to be divided by any such artifice.

as that above alluded to can divert them

The Republican SpoiI-Gath-
erers Alarmed.

The agitation in favor of ''passive
policy for the democrats, and the CO.
operation of the democratic voters with
the conservative Republicans in the
next national canvass, has already borne
fruit. The wisest democratic leaders
and the ablest newspapers have conclu-
ded that there is absolutly no hope for
democratic success with democratic .an-
didates, and have advised the support
of any candidates who would make re-
form in the government their rule of
action. Many who at first looked upon
this policy as cowardly, because it would
be a surrender of forms and principles
which they had cherished for many
years. have finally yielded, and the ma
tional democratic organization may sus-
pend its labors and duties until after the
next Presidential election.
This plan, however, finds the most
determined opposition from singular
source. Certain Republican politicians
have many homilies to read to the dem
ocrats who would betray their followers.
and are horrifed at their weakness.
These Republican politicians are like
many other warriors who would do SER
vice in the suffers tents. Their profits
are measured, to some extent, by the
strength of the opposition; when the
enemy surrenders they are exposed the
criticisms and punishments which they
have escaped on account of necessary
party dicipline during close contest.
These politicians see, in the proposition
to abandon the organization of the de-
mocratic party, an indication that their
own mercenary power is failing. With
the democratic party in the field next
year, the Republican party could make
an easy successful canvass; these poll
ticans would again claim the honors and
obtain the spoils. With an opposition
that combines the reformers of all par
ties they have no such hope. The sur
render of the democratic party would
inyolye their surrender also, for it is
very clear that Republican party would
gladly get rid of them If its attention
were not diryed by an enemy.
The first fruit which this passive poi
icy movement il the democratic party
his borne therefore, IS in the Republican
party. Real Republican statesmen ere
greatly apprenensive that this plan may
rob them of their title to credit for the
reforms which the party almost unani-
mousiy demands,

them mounted Jackass and addressing the
crowd, told them that If they ever expected
to die for their country that now was their
chance. When they were all wrought up to
the highest pitch, whisky, crowbars, shovels,
pistols, and picks were dealt out to the crowd
and then were led by Bill Sutton, waving a
red sash upon pole towards the enemy.
The Mexicans and French did not await for
their arrival but disappeared as quickly as
they came, up the creek. Soon after this,
and now come to facts, old Pockno, an In
dian Chief, came into camp in his shirttail
in fytime and offered to exchange squaw
for gallon Of whisky and pair Of pants !;
a Kanacka bought her but his wife runaway
before il was bed time with ham, and he
was LETT disconsolate. There was plenty of
deer, Capt. Back, one day went out to see if
he could kill one, and shortly afterwards was
chased into camp by Gizzly, with deer
strapped upon his back. Buck, afterwards
Admitted that If he could have got the deer
loose be would have lost his venison. The
miners turned out and chased the Grizzly mp
Mormon Gulch aud then into Tuttletown,
the Tuttletowners not being able to bear it
took to the brush, and always complained
that it was mean trick of Mormon Camp to
make game of them, and FIVE or six fights
took place before it was settled, they threat
ened to retalate by running the first bear
that came along into Mormon Camp.
One evening, Sam Allen, on entering his
cabin caught a mountain cat in his sugar
bag, be brought him over to camp and sold
him for twenty pounds of sugar and whilst it
was being weighed out, Kellum came in and
not knowing what the sack contained, said
he was mighty tired and set down on it, but
he soon jumped up and stamped and swore
like trooper and said he could whip the
man that the bag belonged to, but he was
finally appsased by receiving part of the su-
gar.

The Union has already published tabular
statements of the population OF the States aud
Territories under the late census. but the
figures were in some cases unofficial and in a
few conjecsural, though the aggregates did
not differ widely from the truth. The an
nexed table is said to include the precise off,
cial figures Of the Census Bureau on January
Sd, 1871. They give the rank Of each State,
but lump the population Of the Territories.
which show an increase of more than 100 per
cent since 1860. We may remark here that
nv an act Of the last session of the Forty-frst
Congress the District of Columbia was con-
verified into Territorial Government. In
1860 the District bad rs. $50 inhabitants. II
now has l3l ZOO. Adding this TO the other
Territories, we have an aggregate Territorial
population for 1870 Of $50. 765. against 225.-
800 tinclnding the Dis,rictl in 1860. The
increase Is the smallest fraction over 100 per
cent. Here is the table:
