The Government inspectors, having been
aroused to a sense of their duty by the
almost unanimous voice of the press. are
investigating the particulars Of the Nets
disaster, the horrors Of which might lave
been AT least IN part prevented 10y the
prompt and proper discharge OF their du-
ties previous TO its occurrence. II is un-
fair TO blame the captain for having car
ricd passengers in IA vessel supposed to
have been unsound, when the officials Gp-
pointed hy the Treasury Department GER
tihed that she was seaworthy.
The testimony goes TO show that tho
Mctis was licensed IN the first place as "a
freight boat, and that some few months
ago she was rcmodeled as "A passenger
boat, saloon with state rooms and nc
commodatiou for cabin passengers being
added to the upper deck That She was
not TIT for such use is proved hy the rapid
ity with which she broke up after the
accident, and especially by the parting of
the upper deck from the hun. ono pas
scuser, n MIR. DAVIS. tcstiiies that he saw
many life prcservers lying on the huri-
cane deck with straps broken. the straps
not having been strong enough for use.
How many lives were lost IN the attempt
10 put on these life prescrvcrs il is impos-
-ible 10 say. The Government inspectors
are directly responsible for the qualit and
condition of these urtlti,s.
The former corlni,rts of TIE Sr~ on
the conduct of TH,Nts liAstv, tho second
mate Of nc Mttis the six de K hands aud
Col. GALLUr, Ia We been more than justified
by the testimony. IL appear that the
mate got iuto life boat with the other
seven persons. and proposed 20 look for
the steamer; but Col. GALLUr thought il
would be of no use. When asked why he
obeyed the orders of Col. GALLTP. or why
he took tiALLrP's suggestion To turn away
from the steamers track TO go into Ston-
lngton instead OF pursuing the search for
the Nets, lIAsTY gave no direct answer
II appeared. however, that the boat could
have safely carried eight more persons to
Stouinctuu.
The evidence shows a lamentahlc neg
lect on the part OF the Government in
,pc,tors, and consequent laNi'y on thu
part of the steamboat company IN obeying
some of the most Indispensable require
mcuts Of the steamboat law.

consideration is decided before the first Of
February next by the terms Of the con-
veution the whole negotiations fail.
Up TO the present time II is understood
that not one large claim against the Mexi-
| can Gov crnment has been allowed by this
| commission. Certain very heavy claims
known ~ the Indian Depreciation cases
were argued before the bourd and bv n
formal order OF record on the sth of MAY
referred TO the umpire, in consequence Of
disagreement between the Commissioners.
But the papers have never yet been given
10 the umpire, and now new Mexican
commissioner Mr.. GUzMAN, has taken pos
session OF these papers, repudiatcd the ac-
ton Of the commission, and declared that
all action upon them must be suspended
until the two Governments can agree upon
new Arrangement. We are informed
that the former Mexican Commissioner
declared before he left the country for
Mexico that the whole Of the claims could
have been finally settled previous to his
departure If it had not been for the neglect
and inattention Of our Commissioner to
the duties intrlIsted to his care.
From the various facts that have tran
spired in regard to the proceedings in re-
lation To Mexican claims il would appear
that Mr. CALEB CUSHING, the Mexican
counsel, by his influence in the State De
partment has succeeded in doing about ms he
pleased, and that the interest of the Ameri-
can claimants has in all cases been sacri-
feed to that of the Mexicans. Ii was the
Mexican policy 10 seek delay, and by the
neglect Of Commissioner WADswoRrH this
end has been so effectively reached that
il seems probable that the results on the
commission will amount absolutely to no
thing. But although the American claim
ants may lose all the cost and labor of
presenting their cases, and vainly look for
settlement Of their just demands, il must
be gratifying 10 them TO know that the
pretended examination OF their cases has
afforded tat place for an old schoolfellow

The Maine Election.

II il were practicable To brihe the voters
Of tie whole United States, GRANTS elec-
ton would be certain.
No such wholesale, unstntcd expen-
diture oi money has ever been witnessed in
any election IN this country as that just
made by the GHANr managers in Maine.
There was no liiult to the muiley ut their
command. IAN calculations have been
frustrated SO a most perspicaciouS cor
respondent tclcgraphs us from Calais
"by extensive bribery of voters. CHAN
DLER's money was spen like water, and
enough loose voters Of the baser sort were
bought up with IL 10 Offset the whole Lib
eIal Republican vote. This has been the
ruttcnest election ever held in Maine"
Nevertheless. the GRANT majority has
been reduced in Maine from q, 403 at the
election of Governor in las to l5,OOO in
1Si2, reduction Of nearly seven per cent.
upon the whole Republican vVte cast.
This IL a solid victory and a sure presage
Of victory in the nation, because "a similar
reduction of the Granite strength in the
great doubtful states insurcs the election
Of HORACE GREELEY beyond peradventure.
The Maine election viii be shouted over
by the GRANTEES, and fer one reason we
arc glad of 1t. Had they been completely
defeated there-as hut for money they
would Lave becn-they would have be,
utterly crushed 10y it, ana interest in the
contest would I'm a great measure have
ceased. Now they can keep courage
enough to fight on, and the incidents and
developments of this unprecedented night
Will be faithfully reported in THE SrS
which shines for all. And finally, if the
people prefer GRANT with his enormous,
unparalleled corruption and all the abuses
he has fixed upon us, they will elect HIN
and if they want an honest man, and q

The WAY il WORKS,

A striking illustration Of the evils result
ing from GHANr's system of bestowinC i'm
portant Offices upon persons selected for
personal reasons and not by reason Of their
qualifications for the duties required of
them, is found in the history OF the Amcri-
can and Mexican Claim Commission. The
Proceedings under the same commission
also show the pItiahlc weakness of ouT
state Department under its present ineih-
cicnt and incompetent head, and the
shameless manner in which the rights of
American citizens are sacrificed nj the die
tation of even the weakest Of foreign
powers.
There have been great number Of in
stances in which American citizens have
been outraged, their property s'il,d by
violence, and their persons imprisoned by
Mexican authorities. for which no redress
has ever been rendered Claims foI dam
ages from American citizens against the
Mexican Government To the amount Of
millions of dollars had accumulated, and
0nullya convention was made Ia settle such
claims us might be preferred on both sides.
The Commissioner appointed 10 repre-
sent the interests Of our own citizens in thr
,ettlemeut OF these claims was the Hon.
W. II. WADswoRTn Of Kentucky, who was
member Of the Thrty-seventh Congress,
whore he principally distinguished himself

fed his views, however, ana became recon
cled to the opinions held by the winning
side IN the great national struggle. WADs-
WORTH was an old sChOolmate Of Gen.
GRANTS, which the President thought con-
stituted IA sufficient qualification for np-
pointing him membrr of the Cabinet. II
was with difficulty that the more judicious
Of GRANTS friends were able TO prevent
the nomination Of WADswoRTH to the i'm
portant position of Attorney-Geuernl. But
GRANT was persuaded to abandon this in
t.ntion, and Mir. WADswORTH finally got
the appointment of Commissioner of Mex
