THE NETS INVESTIGATION.

The first witnesses examined in the Metis
investigation were the captain, the mate, and
one of the hands of the schooner Nettie Cush-
ing. and their testimony as to the manner of
the collision differed widely from the account
given by Capt. Burton Immediately after the
occurrence. According to the latter, the
schooner was in shore when she met
the Nets, and the propeller was at
tempting to pass her towards the south
when she suddenly changed her course and
crashed into the steamers side. The officers
of the schooner, however, both assert that
the steamer was in shore, aud tried to cross
the schOoners bows, but there is one singular
discrepancy in their evidence. The captain
saws that when he made out the steamer he
saw her green light; the mate declares that
he saw the red light. The red light is on the
port side, the green light on the starbOard.
If the green was visible, the steamer must
have been on the starbOard side of the
schooner-that is, in shore-and consequently
brought herself across the schoOner's bows
when she attempted to pass to the south.
If it was the red on the other hand,
the relative positions of the two vessels were
lust the reverse, and the Metis took the
proper course. If we are to believe the testi-
mony of Davis, the bow watch on the steamer,
this was the case. He declares that he saw
only the red, or port light, of the Nettie
Cushing, up to the moment of the collision,
when the schooner had altered her course and
come up iii the wind shutting in the red light
and showing the green. Unless his story be
disproved we must infer then that the pilot
of the Cushing had mistaken the situation, or
lost his head in the presence of danger.
OF the lack of discipline and defects of
equipments and construction on board the
Nets, as well as the ineficiency of her Off
GERS, the evidence is already strong. The
pumps were so constructed that they gave no
sign of a leak until the vessel was actually
settling and the water was pouring over the
engine-roOm floors. Two boats full Of passen-
gers we're upset by the giving way of the
lowering tackle. There were no life preserv-
ers except on the saloon deck. Finally, Capt.
Burton was guilty of incredible rashness in
neglecting to ask the assistance of the Nereas,
which was close at hand when the disaster oc-
CURED, and might have taken off the passengers
and crew but for his signal that all was right.
He knew, or it was his duty 10 know, that
his vessel was so built that the pumps would
not tell him il sho was making water ho

AN JLL-THROWN BOOMERANG.

The EUcnin0 Post does not hesitate 10 say
that
"Mr Horace Greeley, II IS years AGO, was az wen
"a Mr. Henry Wilson, Know Nothing. Yielding 10 inc
political exigencies Of the time, he, as well as Mr. w"
SON. driited with that tide and used his inueEce to aid
and comfort the Know-Nothng party
Every word of the above extract is the
exact opposite of truth. Mr.. Greeley
never in his life attended either a secret or
open meeting of the party termed Know
Nothing He was always an open, unquall-
fed opponent of that party. There are scores
yet living of the active founders and pro-
moters of that organization who know the
facts to be as here stated. Messrs John j.
Doane. Frederick e. Wagner, Thomas e. Ac-
ton. John b. Wandel, and other Jealous Grant
men of to-day, will doubtless attest that such
is the truth.
"In September 1854 or 1885, but In which year we arc
not quite certain Know Nothing meeting was held az
Kingston Ulster County, in this State, ana at 'a'
meeting Mr.. Greeley of the speakers heSo,u
lions were passed. and though they are not gwen Al 'o
brief report the meeting which we remember 10 hhso
n NAV he fairly assumed that they were OF the
usual Know Nothing character. Mr.. Greeley I'D ma
sneech ayoyed his approval Of them. He ATTENDED the
meeting not as opponent. but as fehd anu III "u
vocate of Know-Notbing doctrines"
Every essential statement above quoted is
untrue. The meeting referred to was called
NV 268 citizens of Ulster County, who sought
the cooperation of call who are III favor OF
" united action against the Kansas policy OF
the Administration, of additional safeguards
" for the balot-box, and of rigid economy ID
Government expenditure" The only report
at hand says truly that " it was addressed by
." Horace Greeley CRepublican), Joel T. Head
"ley (American), and Thomas X. WestbrOok
(anti-LecomptOn Democracy"
Mr.. Greeley never voted nor asked others to
vote a Know Nothing ballot. He voted the
"anti Nebraska" ticket in 1854, and the ." Re-
publican" ticket at every subsequent election.
In 1856, he voted the Westminster County ticket
made up of Republicans and Democrats in
opposition to the "Know-Nothing ticket. In
| 1858, he voted, along with the Republican
! State ticket, for the Hon. John b. Haskln. an
"anti-Lecompton Democrat" for Representa-
tive in Congress.
Such have been bis acts and votes. If he
was ever reported or understood as favoring
"KnOw-N Nothing" ideas then ne was misun-
| derstood and unsupported.

TAKING CARE or SOLDIERS' WIDOWS.

TAKING CARE OF SOLDIERS WIDOWS.
One of the resolutions of the Philadelphia
platform says: "The widows and orphans OF
those who died for the country are entitled
to the care of generous and grateful peo-
"ple." soldiers widow, who Is postmistress
of a small Office in Massachusetts,, was ac-
cordingly somewhat surprised when she re-
ceived the following communication, the
other day, from the Hon. and Rev. James
Harlan, Chairman of the resident Grant Com
mittee at Washington:
"Beevng that you feel deep interest in the success
of the Republican candidates for President and Vice
President we take the liberty to inclose the Commit
tees printed letter requesting contributions to cid In
publishing documents and deayng other necessary ex-
penses of the campaign. II you can conveniently for
ward early practicable forty lo dollars 1t VIII be
gratefully received and promptly acknowledged.
VERY respectfully, JAMES HARLAN, Chairman"
The whole business of political assessments
is a scandal and a disgrace, but when it
comes to taking forty dollars from soldiers
widow to help along the scheme for keeping
Grant in the White House, the business is
worse than scandalous; it is mean beyond all

lished at Mexico, Missouri stated particularly,
years ago, that Col u. S. Grant, when serv-
ing with his regiment at that place during the
Fall or Winter of 1862, did make the declar-
alton aforesaid, in conversation with his
brother officers and with citizens and that
has not been contradicted.
Ill. We were informed that Ger. Banks's
brother had been DISMISSED from our City
Custom house. and ~ stated. We were there
upon assured Tat no such removal had been
made, and we promptly made the correction.
Now we challenge The Times to make good
its assertions that Mr.. Doolittle, while Sem
ator. procured cotton permit for Mr., Conatty
and was recompensed therefor by promise
or bargain that he Doolittle) should have
quarter of all Conatty should make out OF
that permit. We have seen no warrant Tor
this charge but The Iin,ess naked assertion.
Mr.. Doolittle is now private citizen, ana
not candidate; yet we printed COnatty'S
story 80 soon as we saw it, and have gwen
every fact developed which bears upon the case.
VIII The Times do the like with The Chicago
Iri6unes statement of the Russell Jones con-
yeyance TO Grant, Let your readers see what
the charge is, and they can better Judge
whether you have or have not refuted it.

II ia a matter of surprise that Tho Ne'0-

without offering some sort of defense OF the

that he tries to throw the blame on that other

Controller Connolly. Nevertheless it remains

THE END or THE PLAY.

The Louisville meeting has broken up, and
the delegates, unable to find man IN all the
United States to accept the nomination OF
their imaginary party, have gone home, still
shouting for O'ConOr. No one who I'M
derstood even the rudiments of politics
imagined that the Bourbon blathersktes could
ever form an organization or affect the result
of the November contest; yet they have been
cheered by the Administration and fiattered
by The Times; the Federal oflice-holders have
been taxed to pay their expenses; the Wash
ington Postmaster has kept them in docu-
ments and done their forging for them; and
in the general exposure of secrets which pre-
coded the final catastrophe it came out that
the Grant Committee in Philadelphia fur
nished transportation and music to the Penn
sylyania delegations, while the stage proper
ties used at the Philadelphia Convention were
loaned to Mr.. Duncan's side show.
Such an attempt to swindle Democrats would
have aroused the indignation of the party 1t
was intended to distract had not the absurd
ity of the proceedings been so stuDendous
that the fun entirely OvershadOwed the fraud
One can hardly be angry with meeting
which in these fierce times has made politics
irresistibly comic, and those who were to have
been the victims of the deception can well
afford TO pardon the dupicity of the Admins
tration when they contemplate its ludicrous

Comments BY The Tribune.
/. Mr.. Horace White, though still young
man, has achieved position among the fore
most journalists of this or any country. No
one who knows him will believe him capa-
BILE of intentional falsehood. His Chicago
Tribune states that there is recorded in the
registry of deeds in that Cook County a
conveyance Of tract of land worth thou
sands by J. Russell Jones tot Ulysses s. Grant
:" for the consideration of one dollar" That
the said j. Russell Jones was appointed
Minister to Belgium by the aforesaid Ulysses
S. Grant is q matter of official record
and of pubic notoriety. Now We say that
this conveyance taken in connection with said
appointment, badly needs explanation. Calling
names will not suffice Does The Times deny
that such deed is OH rccordi Or that Grant
appointed Jones Minister to Belgium If
neither of ithese, what does it deny When
we shall have settled the facts in the case, we
will consider their bearing. Why is not this
a good time for eleiting the facts
III. The Hon. l.. B. Washburne has denied
that Gen. Grant, when Colonel, made a speech
TO his regiment, declaring that, if President
Lincoln perverted the War for the Union into
War for Abolition, he would break his
sword or carry it over TO the side of the
South. But this denial is wide Of the charge.
We never heard of Col. Grant making a
speech TO bis soldiers. But newspaper pub
