Presidential Prospects.
Washington Correspondence of the Boston Pc

Washington Correspondence of the Boston Post.
The Administration men know that
Grant can do nothing TO increase his pop
uarity or strength before the people, but
every day grows weaker even among his
own party managers, while the opp0s-
ton, apparently centering upon Judge
Davis for President, is constantly grow
ing stronger. Every day we have fresh
evidence from representative men in all
sections OF the country, that the Demo
Gratis and Liberal Republicans will en-
deavor to unite their strength upon d
common candidate, the general opinion
being that they will agree to support the
Labor Reform nominee, and thus combine
all the opposition elements against the
Administration nominee. Some doubts
are expressed, however, as to the selec-
ton OF a candidate by the Liberal Repub-
lican Convention at Cincinnati, there be
ing probability that that Convention
may select a more direct representative
of the Republican sentiment than Judge
Davis. such, for example, as Trumbull or
Greeley, and it would then be for the
Democrats to determine whether they
would nominate Judge Davis and coop
crate with the Labor Reformers or make
an out and out Democratic nomination,
independent of all other parties The
former sentiment appears to De the most
prevalent just at this particular iuncture.
The Radicals feel that this general oppo-
sition is growing more formidable each
day, and they are exceedingly nervous
about the movements in Congress. They
are also much disturbed by tie expose of
bad financial management by the Admin
istration party, made in the speech OF Mr..
Dawes OF last Friday, in which it is found
hat the estimated incomes from all
Revenue Customs. and Miscellaneous,
amounts to two hundred and ninety five
millions. whilst the appropriations already
estimated and absolutely necessary to
provide for, foot up nearly four hundred
millions. and more are coming. There
are positively now apparent nearly one
hundred millions more of expenditures to
be provided for than the estimated re-
ceipts will meet, and the Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee gave hi, Re

The Tichborne Case.

LONDON, March S. The celebrated
Tichborne case, on trial in this CITY
so long was brought to sudden and most
unexpected termination this forenoon
Upon the opening of the court the counsel
for the claimant to the Tichbone estate
announced that their client had decided
in view of the action of the jury, Monday
in saying they had heard sufficient evil
dence wherein to base verdict, to with
draw the cause before the court
After this announcement of the counsel
for the plaintiff the counsel for the defence
asked the Lord Chief Justice Bovile to is.
sue warrant for the arrest of the claimant
on charge of perjury, and to fix his bail al
$4,000 pounds. The petition was granted
and bench warrant issued for his arrest
The claimant was not present at the SEES
sion of the court this forenoon and it is
believed he has fed from the city.

Terrible ShipWrecks.

The night of Monday, cold bleak and
clustering on shore, was terrible at sea.
II was the coolest Of the season, and the
gale was awful. 1t came direct from the
northwest, following Immediately upon
the binding snow storm of the afternoon.
Later the wind veered round to the west
During this fearful weather an inward
bound schooner named the Clara Bell, of
Rockport, Maine, Captain Amesbury,
struck on Cape Cod, three miles north of
the Highland Light. She went on at two
o'clock IN the morning, and AS the vessel
was thought to be in great danger of 60
ing to pieces, the crew made an attempt
to gain land. The weather was excessive
~ cold, every drop of spray at once freez-
ing upon the clothing OF the men, making
the prospect very dreary. The crew, how
ever, made a desperate but unfortunate
effort to reach the shore. Out of the
seven persons comprising the officers and
crew, only one man succeeded in the at
tempt All the others, including Captain
Amesbury and the mate, persisted in the
sea
The seaman who was saved hardly es-
capped with his life, being badly frozen.
At last accounts none of the bodies had
been found. The vessel, which was
bound from New York TO Boston with a
cargo Of coal, will be a total loss. The
Clara Bell was good vessel of $50 tons
burthen, five years old, and hailed from
camden, Me. She was valued at $1,000.

The Tribune and the Second Washinaton

The New FORK Tribune continues to be
unmerciful towards Grant, and apparently

savage around victim bound to the
stake. One OF its latest articles is q re

which he is plainly made to shine bv con

the reader observe the force of the italiciz-
ed passages in the following extract
We suggest that nerer befors could the
character of this man. 50 long foremost of all
Americans, be studied BY his countrytn-n with

which. either from climatic, or digestive or re-

The result Of the tremendous exertions
which the administration put forth in this

How is This about Winter port ,

There are few very industrious indi.
viduals at Winterport, who delight in
spreading reports injurious to Belfast.
The following. which we find afoat in
the dailies, is a specimen
Winterport correspondent of the Bangor

H. Cook, who discharged in Belfast. and w4>

Wlnterport was frozen up, and wrote to his
cohsi9nee mere Ior instructions, but by the time

was frozen up and remains there still

noon, the ice is all out of our harbor to a
point above the upper steamboa wharf.
A little thin ice remains above, which a
vessel with good breeze can sail through

Saturday, couldn't get above Bucksport
on that day, and remained until the thaw
of Sunday helped her to Winterport She

is now frozen among heavy ice in Bucks

was received here on Tuesday afternoon

The Katahdn Is hard and fast In the ice Two

shout "open water" with an Arctic ice
pack closing about them
