Even the torpid and selfish nature
Of the Administration has been startled
and stirred by the tragedy which has
excited such just and universal indig
nation. The execution of the passen
gers Of the Virginius was not only 9
cruel atrocity viewed from any stand
point, but it was 4 crime against the
civilization Of the age for which no ex'
cuse is possible, even if every charge
made against this vessel and her voy'
age was strictly true.

A Gallant Act by the President
Lady Rescued from Death.

A New York dispatch of the Sth says; At
Long Branch, on yesterday lady was rescued
from danger of death by the GOODNESS, intre-
pidity and gallantry of President Grant. Miss
Martin, accompanied by two gentlemen, her
brother and a friend, in phaeton, were riding
on Cedar avenue in the vicinity of the grounds
of Mr.. John Hoey. The horses in some way
became frightened and unmanageable and
dashed off at a furious speed. The noise at
tracted the attention of the President, who
had just made call on hr. Hoey. Mr.. Hoey
started across lots, and the President pushed
his horses at full speed by the road. He
reached the scene of the disaster in time to
seize the horses and arrest them, with the as-
sistance of Mr. Hoey, and to rescue the lady
from the peril she was in, surrounded by the
debris of the demolished vehicle, and excited
and unmanageabe horses. The President
took the lady in his arms and placed her in
his carriage, and conveyed her to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Hoey, where she was kindly cared
for by the lady of the house The gentlemen
were thrown from the conveyance and received
more or less bruises. The lady having recov-
cred from her fright was conveyed to her
residence. This instance is only one of many
where the President has furnished evidence of
his galantry and intrepidity.

Washington dispatch says 1t is manifest
that the offcially-published denials regarding
the health of Vice-President Wilson are of a

tensions of the result.
