Frirhtful Explosion in Mobile Bay.

The Mobile Register has the following ac-
count of the disaster of the river steamer
Ocean Wave:
| the city on Sunday morning, with about two
hundred persons on board, for an excursion to
Fish River about twenty miles from the city.
| On the return trip the boat reached Point
Clear at D. m, and was made fast. The band
and part of the passengers went ashore; and,
after the lapse of half an hour, the whistle was
blown and all returned to the boat. They had
lust got on board when the boiler exploded
with great force, followed by rumbllng, hiss
| ing sound, and fragments OF the tlmDers ol tne
boot and metal of the boiler were blown IN ey-
erv direction. The forward part of the cabin
was carried away and the chimney fell upon
the after cabin and crushed it. The boat al
most Immediately sunk, and her bow Is now
submerged. ,.,.,
About sixty or seventy persons were killed
or injured by the explosion. So far the bones q &
of nineteen dead, eight of whom are ladies,
have been recovered. Twenty-eight wounded
ncrsons ~ have been brought to the city, and one
of them. girl, has since died. The scene was
onpalliur. terrific and heartrending Wilder
scenes Of grief were seldom witnessed. The
frantic cries of the survivors, in lamentation
for their lost wives, children, parents, brothers
and sisters, were agonizing 10 all who had hui
man sympathies. Many of the passengers
were were little children, and little hats and bonncts
came ashore to tell of the little victims beneath
the waves. The captain, VIM; Eaton, swan for
some time with both legs broken. A boat
reached him Just too late, and he went down.
The two pilots were killed. The tircmen were
all killed. and the engineer and his wife severe
injured. 1t is impossible TO correctly estimate
the loss of lives. BY some it is supposed that
Mt least thirty or tol.y persons are still buried
in the debris of the wreck or at the bottom OF
the bay. A diver has gone to the scene OF the
disaster. ,.,o
The accident has cast gloom over the whole
city. and universal sadness prevails. streets
are crowded with people, and the excitement
and feeling is intense. The Ocean Wave has
been beer for some time considered an unsafe boat,
and has always been an unlucky one; a crin',
ina responsibility rests sOmcchcrc, and 1t should
be visited upon those to whose recklessncss and
ncapacity the disaster is attributable. 7hG
appearance Of the Joiler indicated 1hHt u @ hao
mael.lca Nronyh rOhcnness, as it had been torn
apart in a long seam. Had it exploded with
greater violence the destruction would have
been more general. The force of the explosion
was directed upward and forward.

CUMULATIVE VoTING.-The Camden Jour-
nal proposes a preferable alternative for cumu-
latiye voting. This is for the Democratic party
to raise the standard of the "ncw departure, !"
and under its Just recognition of the rights OF
the colorcd man, seek the aid of the most intel
ligent portion of that race to help us on to VIC
tory. In this way, it believes, we could carry
the State at the next election. The late sue
cess in Charleston has doubtless aided our CO.
temporary in reaching this conclusion. Grant
ing we could carry every county in the State,
would the rejection Of cumulative voting be ad-
visable or for the best interests of all Free
dom from error is not characteristic OF any
race or party. We approximate truth and JUS
tcc only by a thorough discussion and sitting
of all sides of question: When all at coun-
Gil are of party, they are apt to be OF the
same opinion, and by such body the greatest
errors arc often committed from prejudice or
oversight An opposing clement, though
minority, might provoke discussion and expo
sure of the error,.and prevent a grevous wrong.
Besides minorities have rights which should be
respected, and the best means to secure such
respect is to give them proportional representa-
ton. 1t is but fair and just. The majority
would still rule, enjoying the counsel and cau-
tion of the minority The latter would act
like brakes to train of cars, checking the
speed when there was danger ahead. We are
willing to raise the standard Of the "new de-
parture," but we also say, let us keep up and
unfurlcd the standard of proportional represen-
tation: and if we should win the race, let us
extend to- the defeated the right of minority
representation now claimed by us. 1t is both
wisdom and iustice-Keomee Courier.

and means black. 1t is descriptive, and not a

stockholders Of Coffee county, represent
ing stock to the amount of some sixty
thousand dollars, we're present. AT
o'clock the Chairman, Col. A. b. Robertson,
called the Convention to order, and IN a
short address explained his position IN
connection with the original meeting at
M,,Minnville, He said he had been, very

side 90 that occasion, but, that in the con-
Act OF opinion manifested among the

| the purpose of concentrating this agreed

| counsel for the State refuse to agree to
the above-named alterations, amendments
and DEGREES, then said attorneys are hereby
| instructed to resist the sale OF the road by
all lawful means in their power, which,
having been fully discussed by several
gentlemen present, were adopted IN lieu.
Capt. j. O. Stone then offered the fol-
lowing which was also adopted
Resolved by the stockholders of the
McMinnville & Manchester Railroad Com
pany in convention assembled, That we
are wholly opposed to the decree for the
sale of the above road as published in the
Nashville Daily UNION AND AMERICAN of
April s, 1871, and that we will agree to no
decree that does not give the right of pur-
chase to the stockholders exclusively in
the fist instance, and in the second, that
it be sold to the highest bidder and that
we are wholly opposed to any select num-
Der of stockholders having any right of
purchase in preference to other persons
desiring to become purchasers at any sale
that may be agreed upon.
Col. Matt Martin being loudly called for
came forward and addressed the Conyen-
ton in his hsppiest vein. He said he had
been charged with saying that he intended
to break up the meeting at McMinnvilie,
on the LIST, and that he had succeeded in
doing 80, all of which was part and parcel
of prearranged plan to cast odium upon
him and the stockholders who, with him,
were endesvorirg to prevent the road from
being gobbledup by afew, sndhe denounced
all such statements as false and without
shadow Of truth. He then proceeded to
animadvert upon the deep laid scheme of
the ring-men to get possession of the road
to the exclusion of the men who ought
really to be the benefciaries under the ac-
ton of the court.
The secretary was requested to furnish
copy of the proceedings to each of the
Nashville papers and the McMinnVille
NeO Era.
On motion the Convention adjourned to
meet on the 25th day of May, 1871.
