Y. Nj. G. A.

LOWELL, MASS, June 15.-In the Y.
M. q. A. Convention to-day after prayer
the committee on resolutions made re-
port.
The first resolution was offered by Mr..
Chaplin of Winchester, pronOuncing total
abstinence test for membership.
The second was offered by MIR. Cook of
Milford, that the useOf tobacco is inconsist-
ent with the highest type Of christian.
Some remarks on theIresolution we're offer
ed, but the chair said that as objection had
been made, the report must 60 over as un-
finished business.
Mr.. GaddOn, Of Northampton, read the
resolution which caused such Commotion
yesterday, pledging the efforts of the assO-
citation to place the Bible in every Catholic
family.
San Francisco was unanimously fixed on
for the next place of meeting.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
it ineXpedient to adopt the resolution in re-
lation to the reading Of the bible in schools
on the ground that it is not within the sphere
of this convention TO make an official decla-
ration on any topic which does not relate
directly to the work Of evangelizatiOn among
young men by agencies appropriate to
their own organizations.
At the afternoon session the prohibition
of the use of tobacco was discussed, and
was finally left az provided for by the con-
vention of 1869, to the discretion of the
members, although the general feeling Of
the meeting was that no good chris ian
would use it.
On the resolution making total abstinence
a test of membership, an amendment to
the old rule of 1859, that the word ''tem-
perance" be struck out and "tOtal absti-
nence" substituted, was passed.
Young Lady Detectives.
Mr.. Nelson, of Toledo, o., spoke of hay
ing in his city young lady assistants, who
visited boarding houses and asCertained
particulars about young men, which en-
ables the Secretary to report to clergymen
and other societies if members transferred
their relations to other places,
Many important questions which were
expected to come up were left in allegiance.
After shaking of hands, parting speeches,
songs and prayers, the convention adj
iOUrned.

80 Men Killed and Missing.

" N-N- AAAAACO AnA AAASeAH&e
MCGREGoR, Iowa, June 15.-The raft
boat Of ID. A. Mcdonald, under command
of Wall Biglow, passed here about four
O'Clock P. NJ. yesterday, and when nearly
opposite North McGregor her boilers ex-
ploded and blew all above the boiler deck
into fragments. The hull Immediately sunk
in about sixteen feet of water. The Ala
maka transfer boat between PrairieD Chem
and McGregor fortunately was at the land
ing at North McGregor, and immediately
went to the assistance of the sufferers and
picked up eight of the crew, five of whom
were seriously wounded, and two of them
have since died. 1t is not definitely krown
how many were on board at the time of the
accident, and it is impossible to ascertain
at present, as the Captain and owner of the
boat remained in st. Louis. As near as we
can make out from the stories of those
slved there must have been between
twenty and thirty-fVe.
Robert Solomon, second engineer, who
was on duty at the time of the explosion,
and reported to be among the killed, has
since turned up badly scalded and bruised
but not seriously injured. The engineer
on duty says he was attending carefully to
his duty, and had tried the water not more
than three minutes before the explosion
and found water in the two top gauges.
He seems to think the boiler was very in
ferior and cannot account for the explosion.
The crew of the Natronia are dragging the
river now, but as yet have recovered but
one man whom it was impossible to iden-
tify. .
A Chastity Scene.
CHICAGO, June 15.-A special from Nc
GregOr, Iowa City, relative to the explosion
Of the steamer D. II. Mcdonald, says the
scene on the boat after the explosion was
terrible. The dead and dying were strewn
promiscuously over the unsightly wreck of
the ruined boat. Some of the dead were
frightfully mangled, their clothes and flesh
having been tern to shreds by the
swift winged missiles. Many of the dead
and wounded lay under heavy timbers.
Their bones were broken and presented a
sight sufficiently ghastly to appal even those
who were used to scenes of violence and
bloOdshed. Many of the wounded are so
badly mangled that it is an impossibility
for them to survive.

How the Federal Patronage is Used in
Alabama.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The eccentrici-
ties of Senator Spencers official conduct in
relation to the offices in Alabama are be-
coming more conspicuous every day. Hav-
ing succeeded in his war against Putnam,
the postmaster at Mobile, he has transferred
bis strength TO Selma, being still bent on
the destruction Of postmasters. Some time
ago NARROW, the postmaster at Selma, ten
dered his resignation for cause, as it is
stated. Subsequently Cochran was nomi-
mated TO fill his place, but his nomination,
through the efforts of Spencer, was not
acted upon for several days. In
the meantime Spencer presented
paper for Cochran to sign, promising to
give the patronage Of the Office to Gen. d.
E. CoOne, the principal striker for Spencer,
and National Guard candidate for Govern
or, and P. G. Clarke, Assistant Assessor,
and another Of Spencer's workers, The
new postmaster was also required to prom
Use liberal weekly contributions of money
to aid the "cause.n The whole object is to
elect CoOne Governor, and to re-elect Spen-
Ger to the Senate. Cochran refused TO sign
the paper, and Spencer would not allow
him to be confirmed, and so when the Sen
ate adjourned Selma was without post
master. Spencer at this point, it is said,
telegraphed to NARROW to withdraw the re-
signation in order that Cochran might be
got out of the way, and this has been done.

possible, an Indian outbreak this season.
Many of the regiments now on the frontier
are far from complete, and all recruits are
being used to fill these regiments up to the
required standard. Nearly every day a
hundred recruits or more are ordered TO the
plains, those ordered West to-day going to
the Sixth regiment in Dakota.

From the New York Tribune, June 1a

From the New fOrk tribune, June IL.
IT is complained, honestly enough on the
part Of some, that a year or two ago the
Tribune favored the Ku-Klux legislation,
which il now opposes. This is true. When
the Tribune favored such legislation there
were gross Ku Klux CutTagCs; there was
great alarm concerning the condition Of the
South; there was in many sections, as has
been since abUndantly established through
Congress invest cation, decisions Of
tie courts, and otherwise, an alb
solute reign of terror. Under
these circumstances the Tribune was will
ing, whether wisely or unwisely we do not
now argue, TO favor strong measures for the
sake Of securing peace and putting an end
20 the prOiongatiOn of the war, which the
KukluX Outrages meant. II is opposed to
kukluX legislation now on the distinct
ground that there is no earthly occasion for
t. The South is absolutely at peace
nothing is likely to disturb that peace un-
less it be lust such legislation as this. We
do not now canvass the grounds for favor
ing or opposing the old legislation. b hat
we do say now is that there is at present
not the slightest reason ior renewing it;
that, on the contrary, there is every reason
fer opposing its renewal
