Bit The Governor Allen was second at
the starting point, and was almost imme-
diately followed by the ssucy Pargoud,

stand first"
We learn the following from Whining
ton, n C.: The 'corOner's jury in the
case of the steamer r. E. Lee, which ex-
plOded her boiler August 18th, find that
there can be nc blame attached to Captain
Skinner or any Ofthe employees, but thew
do censure the United States Inspector of
this district for allowing the steamer to
run for some four years or more without
testing her boiler. as required by law,
thereby endsngering the lives and limbs
Of the passengers ana crew. And We do
hold the said inspector in a great degree
responsible for said explOsion-st least of
great neglect of duty, as he granted q GER
tiicate tor the boat without examining
the boiler. In our Judgment, It is the du-
ty of the authorities to examine into this
matter, and If there has been neglect on
the part Of he inspector, as the evidence
goes to prove, he should be held account
able for the same"
