More Investigation Needed.
During the discussion Mr.. Blair, of

stating that charges have appeared in news
papers Of large circulation in New York
and elsewhere calculated to affect injurious
" the reputation Of the Secretary Of the
Navy, and TO cast doubts on the integrity
of his administration Of the Navy Depart
mept, and therefore providing for the ap-
pOintment of a select committee Of five to
investigate any irregularities charged, and
TO inquire generally into the administra-

Mr.. Banks said there was nothing alleged

and it ought not to be made on newspaper

CINCINNATI, March I'm the steam
boat fire last night the people on the steamer
St. Charles had barely time 10 rush from
their beds, some seeking safety IN the water.
Among the latter were Capt. Russell, col
ored chambermaid and the steward, the lat
ter escaping with singed hair. a large
amount of cotton and other freight on the
landing caught fire and burned fiercely for
a time, but was finally extinguished by the
firemen. The steamer Robert Burns, load
ed for Memphis, which was lying at the
wharfboat, dropped down to the foot of
Main street, and escaped injury.
Early in the excitement warning was
given that there was powder in the maya
zine of the Kate Robinson. The destroyed
boats had all wilted away to glowing hUlks
when the first explosion took place. 1t
was light one, probably Of benzine. The
second one, however, was genuine vol
canic explosion of gunpowder, heavy roar
that shook the crowd and tossed the fame,
smoke and debris fifty feet in the air. The
work of the fire department resulted in
the partial saving Of the steamer Champion
and the rescue of the valuable new wharf
boat.
The steamer Altoona was owned by Capts.
Isham and Williamson, of this city. Yes
terday she was purchased for eight thous-
and dollars, deliverable as soon as her cargo
was discharged; no insurance on the boat.
The cargo was estimated as worth seventy
five thousand dollars, insured in Cincinnati
and elsewhere.
The Kate Robinson was to depart for the
Tennessee river to-day, valued at ten thou
sand dollars, with no insurance. Her cargo
was valued at $1,000.
The St. Charles was valued at $4,000,
insured in Pittsburg and Cincinnati cOmpa-
MES for $4,000. She had about $1,000
worth of freight on board.
The Argosy was valued at $1,000 and had
one hundred tons of freight for New Or
leans including 200 barrels of whisky, 1000
boxes Of candles, 200 barrels of pork; loss
on cargo is estimated at 100000. No in
suranCe.
The Mai. Anderson was valued at $4,000;
insured for eight thousand in this city.
The Champion was loaded for Shreve-
port. Had one hundred tons of furniture,
so barrels of whisky. She was not entirely
consumed. Uninsured.
Capt. Williams and Isham, of this city,
are the heaviest losers, owning three of the
boats will no insurance. There two deck
hands missing from the st. Charles sup
posed to have been drowned.
LATER-The loss on the burned steam
ers last night is thought to be much less
than at first estimated. les tonight
count up not above $4,000. The insur-
ance cannot be fully ascertained as some of
it is in Pittsburg. No companies outside Of
the city are reliably reported.

threatento abandon the effort and repeal
the law just as soon as an attempt was
made to put it into practical operation. He
fully agreed with those who denounced this
Civil Service Reform as a humbug and an
encroachment on the rights of the people,
for bis own rights had been unwarrantedly
infriDged.
In the Good Old Times,
when he went to a Department and
asked to have Smith or Jones appointed to
office because he was friend of his, or be-
cause he had worked hard to make him
Senator, or for some other equally good
reason the matter was generally arranged
satisfactorily without any question of the
fitness of the applicant for the place, but
DOW when he approached the head of
department on the same errand he was told
his recommend was no longer sufficient TO
secure the appointment; that the President
had taken the matter out Of the hands of
members of Congress, and that applicants
were now required to undergo an examina-
ton as a test of their fitness for places
sought, as if there could be any better
proof of a mans fitness for any Office than
that he had helped to elect a Senator.
Laughter. In this way he (EdmuDds)
was stripped of Fictitious importance he
formerly enjoyed aud brought down to the
common level and compelled TO stand on
bis own merits alone. OF course he felt
this to be gross outrage. Laughter.
He spoke only for himself. He was only
stating his own grievances, but knew that
his fellow Senators would sympathize with
him. Laughter.] 1t was painful fact,
however, that in the country there were
great many persons who thought different
ly, people who were neither candi-
dates for office nor the followers of candi-
dates, people who didn't appreciate
the merits and claims Of the managers of
primaries and other political bodies, and
who thought that pOstmasters ought to
know how to write, and that accountants
ought TO understand arithmetic. Nobody
could see more clearly than he did the folly
of all this, but as these unreasonable people
were unfortunately in great majority, and
as it was their business that the officers of
the government were paid TO do, and their
money that was to be collected and spent,
ne feared they would have their way.
Laughter.)
Mr.. Carpenter protested, for himself,
against Mr.. Edmunds' statement of the
feeling and motives Of the opponents of
civil service reform.
Mr.. Edmmds said he might have over
drawn the picture little, but in substance
it was true to nature.
After some further discussion, without
reaching a vote, the Senate adjourned.

DIR. SEWERS CARD.


The "card" of DR.. Sewer has been the
subject of severe criticism and unqualified
condemnation, by the Press and Herald,
the Morristown Gazette, the ROgers7ille Re
porter, the Sentinel, and also the Bristol
NelCS, if we remember correctly, 10 say
nothing of the Democratic papers in other
divisions Of the State. These papers all
advocated the election Of DIR. Sewer for
Speaker of the Senate. They all disap-
prove his course, whilst lie finds not an ad-
yocatc, we believe, in the State, outside oi
the Radical press. We don't remember Of
any one having before worked such pitt
cal alienation by a single act.
We should not have REQUIRED to this sub
ect again, only from the fact that the DR..
addressed rs a very caustic note, asking us
20 publish his "card" inasmuch as we had
criticised 1t, in which be says: "Strange TO
say, by concert or by coincidence of most
unusual characteristic card which has been
so severely criticised, has not appeared in
solitary one Of the papers which have so
fercely assailed Inc. ] invoke no
compliment, charity, or even courtesy at
the hands Of the editorial corps, who ale
now 'clawing' so vigorously at me, except
the privilege of an audience with their read
ers through their respective papers.
That audience we have now given, and
we hope the DR.. is satisfied. We believed
the DR., by his course, had injured the peo-
pie who had honored him, and who were
in no wise responsible for his or any other
Union mans defeat before the legislature,
and that bis article contained no sufficient
reason for his course, hence we said what
we did, and what it was our legitimate
privilege to say, not by "cOncert," either as
to matter or manner, so il must have been
by coincidence" itself accounted for on
the plain principles Of common sense.
What we uttered was said in no unkind
manner, for DR.. Sewer is a gentleman who
commands sur highest esteem and respect.
We, however, never CLAIR, but Away aim to
strike a man, who holds to heresy, square
iy in the forehead and " knock him cold as
krout." That is our mode Of warfare and
not the ''clawingn or the "gOrilla system
that the DR.. feared we had adopted.
