How the Atlantic Narrowly ESCAPED

How the Atlantic Narrowly Escaped
the Rocks Inst Summer.
From q London litter published II tho Cincinnati
at noon on the second Monday nftor leaving
New York our reckoning showed the Atlantic to
bo within 164 miles Of Queenstown. 49,.
We had an observation on Sunday, but owing
to light fog We had none on Monday. As the
noontime passed, the fog thickened, and all we're
greatly disappointed az it now became probable
TINT we should approach the land in q fog. We
we're stca1ning By the log thirteen miles IN
hour. and this rate Of sailing would bring US to
the Fcstnott lighthouse OF tie Irish coast at
o'clock.
Tho Fastnett is some sixty miles nearer than
Queenstown. At tho time indicated nearly ell
the passengers wore on dock, Notwithstanding
that tho weather was very chilly and damp, as
tho fog had increased to great density. The Cap
tain and all the officers we're On the bridge, and
extra 1ookouts were on the poop-deck. We we're
still going at full speed AloBt Of the passengers
were on tho port side Of the slip, straining their
eyes looking for . light; All we're quiet and
minutes. when the Captains wen-known voice
gavo the order: Port little" "Port little,
SIR" said tho man in the wheol-houae who
turned his little wheel, which moves the ponder
looked toward tho port sido through tho dense
doT came 0Port little, y and before the helms
man could answer, quick and sharp the Captain
cried, s. Hard port" Hard port, sir" said
tue wheesman, Is the great vessel 430 feet long,
swung rapidly round. and in second huge
rock, 800 feet high, With fringe Of awful white
brenkers at its bnso met our astonished gaze.
Tho helmsman's wheel has hardly turned half
way round, when tho signal to the engines con-
veyed by telegraph the order "stop," and the
next second. the order st estern full speed"
On toward the dark macs, now quite distinct,
our vessel still kept her course, until we mount
ed on tho land swell of the rocks. The reveree
motion Of our engine caused great foam at our
ete1n, and in about two minutes VIC could dis
corn the foam slowly moving toward the bows Of
our ship. Soon We began to pass through It
rapidly, aud for twenty minutes We retired from
the dangerous coast. ~*~

The sanction which the Emperor of Austria
is announced to have given to the Electoral Re-
form bill is an important popular triumph So
cured in peaceful way, which must ultimately
tend to cement moro closely the different nation
alitles now under Austrian rule. Tho new bill
provides that tho members Of the Lower House
are honcoforth to be elected by all persons en-
titled to suffrage the number Of mombers to
be increased to 120. Each electoral district is to
elect ono Deputy, and overy one entitled to vote
for member Of the Dict, or local Legis1a-
ture, will also be entitled to vote for q
member Of the Reichsrath, the votes to bo given
in writing, aud m absolute majority to be neces-
sary for the election Of candidate. Those en-
titled to vote in any one province are to be eli
giblo in all tho Provinces and the duration of the
period for which member ia elected is fixed at
six years. The general character Of tho bill is
very similar to that Of the Counties Reform bill,
recently passed in Prussia. It is virtunlly uni
vorsa1 suffrage measure; subject to prudent
checks and must have very important bearing
upon the Polish, Hungarian, and other provinces
OF Austria, which, fsr the first time, will have IN
influential voice in the councils Of the Imperial
Legislature.

states that the international silver coins OF the

The Mayor received letter, yesterday, from a
property-owncr On Fourteenth street, inquirinG
the reason why that thorougafare had not been
paved, giving description Of its flthincss, and
asserting that an assessment for filing and pay
ing had been collected two years ago. As noth-
ing had been done towards the improvement, he
was anxious to receive the interest on his money.
The Mayors reply, which is Of interest to many
people who own property on Fourteenth street,
Was Is follows:
SIR: The assessment for tho curbing, filling, and
paving Of Fourteenth street between Clark and state
Streets confirmed By tho Council, Oct. a. 1870.
The assessment was all collected early IN 1871, and the
whole amount still stands to the credit Of this account
Most OF tho walllng and filling has been douo by the
owr1cra, An infornation wns granted April 49, 1871,
restraining the city from proceeding with the work. The
suit s sdl pending, with prospect Of herring some
time during tho present month. The contention GROVE
out OF discrepancy between the actual and the
corded location OF tho street, involving distance OF
four feet. Respectfully,
JOSEPH MEpn1, Mayor.

Certainly, one of the gravost errors OF the Ad-
ministration since Gen. Grants reelection WAS
the pardoning Of Brown, the Philadelphia re-
peater. It Was regarded at tho time aa virtual
approval Of the notorious system Of corruption
TINT has dominated the Philadelphia elections
for many years. Whom it Was found that the
pardon was regarded with disfavor by the Re-
publicans themselves, the explanation was made
that President Grant had been misled by those
who sought Browns pardon, and by Eaen whom
he had right to trust. It was prob
ably on this account that the House
of Representatives passed q resolution directing
the Attorney General to furnish information
concerning the means TINT had been used to
secure the pardon, hoping thereby to relieve tho
President of the blame which had been attached
to him. Tho House resolution was not COM
piled With before adjournment. Acting Under
1t, however, Mr.. Randall, 8 member Of the
House, called upon the Attorney General, re-
questing him to furnish the names OF those who
had petitioned for Browns pardon, aud repre-
senting that it was matter Of great Importance
and interest to tho people OF 'Philade1phia.
Mr. -Randa1l's request, which would not
have been unreasonable even il the House Ind
not passed q resolution authorizing it, was de-
MED By the Attorney General, with the remark
that he would have made the same answer to
Congress ITSELF The Attorney General assumed
the position, presumably by authority, that tho
pardoning power is 8 special prerogativo of tho
Presidents, and he is accountable to no one for
it's exercise. This is high ground to take in
what we believe to be republican Government.
We are not yet accustomed to the doctrine OF
prorogatiyes, and the assumption sounds harshly
In American ears. The pardon Of tho repeater
Brown is universally regarded as serious mis-
take, If nothing worse. Gen. Grant is not acting
wisely in taking all the blame on his shoulders
in order to save his "peraonal prerogativc."

MOVEMENTS IN REAL EsTArE.-Just
now there seems to be considerable move
ment in real estate, we having noticed
many frame buildings on wheels be-
ing moved through Main street and
placed on different lots. Among others,
DIR. Armitage has covered his old place
with quite respectable structure the
Smith Bros. are laying the foundation
for their new saloon; T. c. Starr has
purchased lot on which he intends put
ting up house and, in fact, most all
old business men are moving in the mat
ter. The building of p A. Wagner is
being braced and strengthened where the
walls were cracked from explosion of
gunpowder, and, at comparatively small
expense, will shortly be as good as new.
1t is gratifying feature of the late mis-
fortune that our merchants and business
men are moving energetically in this
business, and, it may reasonably be sup
posed, that, in a few weeks, the block
between Hamilton and Dunn streets will
be built up and business resumed there.

second trial of William II. Bethards. in
dieted for the killing of II man named
Brophy, at Ruby Hill, some months ago
was concluded in the District Court on
Thursday last, the jury finding verdict
of guilty of murder in the second degree.
During the progress Of the trial the
counsel on either side exhibited much
ability and eloquence, Messrs. Bishop
and Anderson making earnest and forci-
BILE appeals to the jury in behalf of the
prisoner, and District Attorney John Il.
Kittrell displaying great skill and ability
IN his conduct of the prosecution. The
latter gentleman certainly made MASTER
ly effort in the closing argument, and his
many friends overwhelmed him. with
compliments at the close of the trial
The result of this case was entirely un-
looked for by the friends of Bethards,
and was somewhat of surprise to those
who witnessed the previous trial His
sentence VIII be pronounced to-day by
Judge Beatty.

ROBINSON DIsrRcT.-This promising
locality is fast proving itself one Of the
leading mineral-producing sections, and
has prospect to at once turn the fact to
permanent advantage. The Watson Com
pany, of which d. T. Elmore is superin-
tendent, has commenced the construction
OF a fine mill, which. we are assured,
VIII be in running order in a very short
time. Being one of the very best mills
IN the county, no fears need be enter
tanned of its successful operation, and the
pounding of its ten stamps will usher in
a new era of prosperity in that section.
Our friends there have our best wishes
for their prosperity and future welfare.
and, if quantity and quality of ores has
anything to do with it, Mineral City must
ere long rival the best of mining camps.

MAGNrfIeEST RANCH.-In a late trip to
Eureka, We passed the ranch formerly
known AS Treferan' $, now occupied by
party of Italian gardeners. The tall,
waving grain, fine fields Of potatoes and
vegetables of all descriptions, look toward
a large and remunerative crop this sea-
son. Following from the old Pinto sta
ton, past Dan Highs splendid ranch, to
the base of Diamond mountain. is also
another magnificent stretch of cultivated
land well advanced toward large crop.
The appearance of green expanses of
growing crops, surrounded by the dreary
wastes of alkali flats, remind one of an
oasis in the midst of desert, and calls
forth wonder at the thought of the great
ness of our Creator works.
