QUESTIONABLE CONDUCT OF STEAMBOAT
OEEICERS.

TO me Edft0r Of The Tribune.
SIR: A very heartless outrage was com
mted by the officers of the steamer Drew on the pass
age down from Albany 10 this city, on Friday night
woman was seized with violent conyusions and the
officers refusing TO assist her she was left to the care
of number of male passengers. Many OF the gentlemen
sought yainy for the captain who should have oeen at
hand. and equally yainy they appealed to the
clerk Coegroye Tor help. After long and earnest
remembrance ColegrOye gave room Tor
the use OF the suffering woman, and Dr. j.. Ross who
was on the boat rendered all the aid In his power NO
nediopes could be obtained on board the steamer.
During the night DIR aud several other gentlemen
up with the sufferer and In the morning on reaching
HewYOrk an ambulance was procured, and the woman
was taken 10 BELLEVUE Hospital Neither the captain.
clerk nor the other officers OF the boat bestowed any
care upon the unfortunate passenger nor dl0 hey sohd
any OF the women employed on the boat 10 her assist
snee These clrcumssnces, we think. ought to be pup
shed In order that Officer OF the steamer Drew

A noble letter and one worthy Of the
writer. For q moment let your mind
wander back to those days, and then think
Of the present. The contrast is the same
= day to night.
By that letter we zee he recommended

private and public life" But now the
applicant needs no recomm endation to Sc.

obtains what good recommendation

asks for no letters OF introdu ction, but
asks for . dog, house or some other
present, and that is the reason 40 many
corrupt and dishonest men get into Office
and swindle the people of their money.
Docs Greeley's past life indicate that he
will BE- . nepotist, snd exchange Offices
for gifts We dare say not When they
come to him for position they must pre-.
sent good recommends tions before their
claims can be considered. In this manner
alone should men be PERMITTED to occupy

Call TO the Unconverted-Appeal to the
Politicians to Bury the Democratic
Party.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 13, 1872.
The commercial OF this date has an editorial on
the Liberal Convention that meets at Columbus on
the 18th inst, that says, among other things
ssThe Convention that meets at Columbus on the
18th may accomplish deal OF good II it has some
sense. Politicians, however, have SO little OF that
article that we are not prepared to hope for any
great things and should not be cast down in case
the meeting disperses without dong anything but
gabble and squabble. In the first place, 1t might
as well be understood that the democratic party
is no longer an institution whose continued ex-
istencc is indispensable to the health OF the coun
try II democrats will in good faith drop that
name and disband their organization, out or the
wreck may be found considerable material that
may be hereafter useful; but If the suggestion OF
the New York World be followed and old party
but the next Presidential candidate OF the democ-
racy will carry about as many states as would
George Francis Train. The fact that the party
iicaus and would nominate at Baltimore, contrib
nted largely to the defeat OF Mr. Greeley.
It's name has been SO identi1ed with
rebellion that the people Of the United states @ tSa w
the people at large desire to perform Win regard
to that party-that is to be its undertaken. They
have murdered 1t number OF times IN the most mos,
brutal manner, and they will never rest satisfied
till 1t is down so deep under the ground tnat they
may rest In quiet without fear OF being DISTURBED
by its ghost. II, therefore, the Columbus meetlng
concentrate all the force and ability OF the perai
republican party, rs 1t stood before the May CON-
vention, and can then celebrate the oosequies OF
the democracy with crowning solemnitics, tney
may make start which In a four years heat may
enable them to come out ahead next time ON the

TELEGRAM 70 THE new YORK HERALD.

PARIS Nov. 49, 1872.
The message OF President Theirs was received by
the National Assembly and read to-day.
The message begins with thanks to God for the
progress OF the work Of reparation and the general
prosperity OF the country.
THE NEW LoAN-ITs WONDERFUL SUCCESS AND CON-
FIDENCE OF THE CAPITALISTS.
Referring to the extraordinary success OF the last
loan asked by the government he says ethe whole
available capital OF the commercial world was OF.
fered to France Half OF the loan has been real
lied.
THE PAYMENTS TO GERMANY.
In three months Germany has been paid
soo,oOo,OoO francs OF the war indemnity, and she
win receive 2oo 900, 900 more in the month OF De-
cember.
HEAVY DEFICIT IN THE BUDGET, BUT HOPE OF
SPEEDY RECOVERY.
The budget shows Q deficit Of 132, 600, 900 francs
lor the past fiscal year; but the estimates show
that the equilibrium OF expenditure and revenue
win be restored in 1873, and that q surplus may be
looked for in 1874
DISASTERS OF THE WAR AND THE TERRITORIAL DIS
MEMBERMENT
President Thiers next makes ausion to the dis
membermcnt OF the country the trightful burden
1t had to bear and the establishment Of the Re-
public" All these things suddenly bursting on
surprised and dsheartened country might have
resulted In irreparable disaster If order mad not
been maintained.
forcible appeal is made
TO THEORETICAL REPUBLICANS
not to spare even excessive sacrifices for order in
their own interests. Events have given them the
Republic. The Republic exists the legal govern
ment. An attempt at any different form Of gov
erment would lead to
THE MOST TERRIBLE REVOLUTION.
The President deprecates o formal proclamation
Of the Republic by the Assembly. The better policy
would be to impress on the Institutions OF the
country the features Of conservative republicansm
The Republic must be conservative, otherwise 1t
cannot exist.
The absolute need Of France is
REPOSE.
The mass might live through few days of agi-
tatiOn after frightening others 1t fears itself and
falls into the arms Of an adventurer, travelling the
sad and humiliating journey from anarchy to des-
potism and despotism to anarchy.
The slightest fault is sufficient to wreck the Re-
public. France, orderly and strong, inspires con-
fdence in foreign Powers, who desire, above all,
Just equilibrium. France If she chooses not to
isolate herself may become surrounded by trusting
and useful friends.
To the Assembly is left the initiation Of
CONSTITUTIONAL MEASURES.
The decisive moment has arrived for the work.
The President promises Difference, cooperation
and devotion.
The President concluded by invoking God to
bless the work Of the Assembly and render CON-
plete and durable consummation which has not
been attained since the commencement OF the
century.
RECEPTION BY THE MEMBERS.
The message was well received by the "Left," to
whom it gave great satisfaction.
NJ de. Kerdrel, q conservative, moved the ap-
pointment Of q committee to draw up reply.
The motion was agreed to by a small majority.
1t is thought that the Presidents message will
lead to an early dissolution OF the Assembly.

ITALIAN OPERA.

Miss Kellogg sang violetta last night In "La
Traviata" for the second time this season Sne
was in unusually good voice and spirits, and her
impersonation Of the role OF the Lady Of Cameas
was immeasuraby superior to her first assumption
OF the role For instance. there was more warmth
in her rendering OF "Ah fors lui," more tender
ness In the last scene, breadth OF dramatic power
in the scene with the father OF her lover ana an
earnestness throughout that brought down the au-
dience. BY the way the latter important element
of opera was very limited last evening, and
vacant seats were in the majority. Miss Keogg's
acting showed signs OF matured experience and
studi0us effort, and in the last act she gave suf-
icient evidence OF being possessed Of magnetic
power, which can be brought with more experience
up to standard to be measured with the efforts OF
those artists whose names occupy such promi-
nent position in operatic annals. 1t ia all
very well to refer to the excellence OF
certain portions OF an lnpersonation in
opera, but the definite success rests on some.
thing more than mere correctness. Miss Kellogg
has happily caught this idea and pronted by it
too. She Is rapidly approaching that phase in her
artistic career when she can stir the audience by
q species OF magnetism allied 20 genius. An
actress must be combined with a singer to form
perfect lyric artist, and Miss Kellogg seems to
understand thoroughly this necessity. She is
hard, conscientious student, and the result OF her
labors must come sooner or later with the happlest
results. sparapani made very acceptable Ger
mont ps,e, and sung and acted like an
accomplished artist. vizzans voice was
in better condition than usual, but he was

great Improvement over the first representation

and ungrateul work for either prma donna or
manager to present this av0rite opera OF Verdi in
such manner as to make an effect. viOletta was
the very best of Nss0n's roles and we have yet to
see the prima donna who can remove from our
mind the memory Of that wonderful impers0nati0n
that held the boards 80 long in this city. We are
