HONEST Tom MURPHY knows more and says
less than all the republican wirepulers in the
State. When he speaks he talks up to the
subject, as his conversation with a HERALD
representative, printed elsewhere, fully proves.
President Grant understands Murphy and
Murphy knows Grant. The Collector is in
position to laugh at the attacks of his enemies
and to ask his prosecutors gui bono? The
President was long since made acquainted
with the charges against Mr.. Murphy, and pro-
nounced them absurd.

THE LONDON TINES ON The CO2EAN
DIFFICULTY.

The shanghae correspondent OF the London Times
writes as follOws:-
The question now is, what next? The Coreans
show not the slightest symptom Of coming to terms;
on the contrary, these refugees affirm that $4,000
men are gathered between the coast and the capt.
tai. The force at Admiral Rodgers disposal Is
evidently insufficient TO attempt an advance
against such ODDS; besides, his Instructions
win not carry HIM far. He was ordered
to escort Mr.. Low to negotiate an amicabe
treaty. He was fired on IN the attempt TO
open communications. The insult has been
avenged, ana now 1t remains for the United States
government to decide on further operations. In
the meantime 1t IS likely that the ieet Will return to
Cneeioo, and that the Monocacy and Palos will come
down TO Shanghae to he docRed, both having nnrt
themselves badly ON the rocks IN the KanghOa River.
The matter cannot be allowed to rest where 1t is for

The Navigation Relief Bill.

The Prog. Age cndeayors TO make Il
different showing of the vote on the Lynch
navigation bill, by publishing previous
vote on the engrossment and third read
ing of the bill, in which three Democrats
only voted to forward the bill. 1t COM
mences its quotation from the proceedings
with this paragraph
The question REQUIRED on ordering the main
question, which was on the engrossment and
third reading of The pending bll! AND AMEND
MENTS.
In order to weigh the merits of the
question, the nature of the amendments
must be understood, for the vote was
taken on the bill and amendments. The
latter We're designed to weigh the bill
down so heavily as to kill it. One was to
charge a less rate of duty on goods i'm
ported in American than in foreign ships,
offered by Garfield, of Ohio. a leading re-
publican. A similar one was offered by
Bingham, of Ohio. famous for connection
with the Mrs. Surratt Court Martial and
ing radical, offered an amendment that no
vessel Of less than two thousand tons
should be entitled to the benefit OF the
draw back. And it was upon the motion
to engross this mass of absurditv that all
the Democrats save three voted in the
negative.
When Mr. Lynch introduced his substi-
tute, the whole of which we printed two
weeks ago, he did it TO get rid of the
amendments which killed the first bill
BY the Speakers decision. rs we then
printed it, the amendments did not attach
to the substitute. This bill contained all
that was asked for by ship-builders and
ship-owners. AND THIS WAS THE
MEASURE OF RELIEF WHICH THE
RADICALS OF CONGRESS- KILLED BY
THEIR VOTE OF MAY 81, 1870.
As we said before, it is 4 lie to say that
but three Democrats voted for measures
of relief to shipping. Had the radicals
voted for the bill in rs large proportion as
the Democrats did, the State of Maine
would be better off by millions than it is
to-day.
The responsibility for the defeat Of all
measures of relief rests with the admins
tration party. Their majority in Congress
is overwhelming, and they shape leg
islaton rs they please When any meas
IRE is passed which meets approbation
they proceed AT once TO self gloriication.
Why does not the blame of objectionable
measures then belong to them

THE CHOLERA. That mysterious and
deadly disease, which originates in some
unknown manner, in the unexplored re
@ions Of Asia, follows the thin lines OF

been warnings of its coming, and now we

Grants Reelection by the Army.

The New Orleans affair, in which troops
were used to control a party Convention
is being dissected, so that its machinery
may be seen. And it resolves itself
simply into the fact that Packard United
States Marshal, and Collector Casey, the
Presidents brother-in-law are determined
to hold the power in the radical party in the
State They are inspired to do this from
Washington. 1t seems that Packard tel
egraphed to the New York Tribune that
the President had nothing to do with the
use OF the troops to oyerawe the meeting.
But General Heron responds with the
following card
$40 the editor of the Tribune:
''SIR: The card of United States Marshal
Packard in the Tribune of the 18th inst, is
simply an avoidance Of the truth, and an effort
to relieve the Federal officials here of the odum
they deserve. Governor Yarmouth had no i'll
tention of using the police, either at the Custom
house or at any other place selected for the
Convention, as | personally know On the
evening of the 18th inst, Marshal Packard stated
to General Campbell. Judge Dibbe, and Mr..
Fish of the Republican, that he had the highest
authority in the land for using the Custom house
and troops, and has since stated that General
Grant authorized it. The order for troops was
obtained from General Reynolds, Marshal Pack
ard having telegraphed him that an attack from,
thugs and 'brusers' upon the Republican
Convention was feared General REYNOLDS did
not know the Convention was to meet in the
Custom-house, and that the difficulty was
simply between two sets of delegates. further
state that Marshal Packard and his ahettors
conspired with certain roughs Of the lowest
order to aid him in the case of trouble in which
Governor Yarmouth and his leading friends
were to have been killed.
Yours, &C., +. j. HEBRON
NEW ORLEANS, August II, 1871"
General Heron is Republican, and he
states unequivocally that Grants United
States Marshal, Packard, had made az
engagements to kill the leaders who OPP
posed Grants denomination. The Grant
leaders, Packard, Casey & Co., could
easily provoke disturbance, and make
that the pretext for numbering the Repub-
lcan leaders opposed to Grants renomi-
nation. There was the design, if General
Heron tells the truth There were the
bayonets. the Calling guns, the troops
and the numerous Deputy marshals made
for the occasion. That there were no as
sassinations by the troops and the Mar
shafs deputies (selected from the rouehs
of New Orleans) was owing to the pru =.
dence of the Republicans who are oppos-
ed to Grants denomination in keeping
away from the Custom-house and not in
sisting upon participating in the proceed
ings ofthe meeting. Bayonets and liberty
do not sympathize. The presence of the
former is the absence of the latter. Grant
has had power conferred on him by
Congress to renominate himself, and he
means to use it for that purpose.

The browning railway horror, near Bos-
ton, surpasses in awfulncss anything of
the kind which ever before happened in
New England A calamity which, by the
heedlessness of one or two men in charge
of trains instantly hurls TO eternity by the
most horrible of deaths more than thirty
persons, is one to profoundly move a
community. And it is not surprising that
Indignation makes itself heard, that pub
lie meetings are held, and that demands
arC made for such care, supervision and
efficiency rs will make such occurrences
impossible, or as nearly so as human fore
sight can render them.
1t is the misfortune OF railway manage
ment that those who control in its larper
sense the affairs of those great corpora
tons, cannot by any possibility supervise
all the details of the business. The man
agement of trains must be left to subordi-
mates. who will take risks which better
Judgment and cooler heads would avoid
The remedy for disasters like that of Sat
urday, next to improved rules and facili-
ties for the save control of trains, must be
found in higher grade of men to CON
duct the trains and manage the engines
These, with good road bed and machinery,
comprehend about all that can be devised
for the protection of railway travellers.
Ajury of inquest is making inquiry in
to the causes of the disaster, and their
verdict must be looked to as fastening the
responsibility where it belongs.
