TERRIBLE MARINE DISASTER. Lon
don. Jan. 23.-A report of n terrible mar
inc disaster which occurred last night in
the English Channel had Just been received
in London. The emigrant ship Nrr;hheet,
which sailed from here several DAYS ago for
Australia, with 4l2 passengers, exclusive
Of her crew, was in collision Mt midnight.
two miles off Dungeness, with an un-
known foreign steamship. and was cut down
to the waters edge. Only 81 persons are
known to be saved, aud il is believed that
every other passenger who was on board
har found a watcry grave. No attention
was paid by the steamship to the emiorant
vessel after the collision and she proceeded
on her course, leaving the sufferers to their
fate.
FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE CAS-
UALTY. London. Jan. 23.-When the
collision between the emgrant ship North
fleet, and an unknown steamship happened
last night. panic occurred on the former
vessel. The passengers. who were asleep.
rushed from their 5erths to every portion
of the ship. where thev thought they might
be safe, and utterly refused to obey the or
ders Of the captain. That officer. as
last resort to enforce obedience to his COM
mand, was compelled to fire upon the ter
rorstricken people, and one of them was
wounded. 1t is believed that if the pas.
sengers had obeyed the orders of the cap
tain, more Of them would have been saved.

RAILROAD LegislatiOn.

Tim Iowa Senate had before it on
Wednesday the chapter Of the new
code, relating to railroads. An
amendment to the chapter consist
ing of several sections was intro
duced by Senator McNutt, establish
ing the rates to be charged by rail
roads for transportation of passen-
gers and freight. An amendment
in the form of an additional section
declaratory of the right of the State
to control railroad charges, was
adopted. The section limiting the
rate for transportation ofpassengers
to 81 cents per mile, was also
passed, after long discussion and
close contest. The section fixing
the rates for transporting wheat
and also that pertaining to cattle
and hogs, were lost, the vote stand
ing 90 to 23 and the president of
the Senate refusing to vote. This
is regarded as test vote on the
question of fixing the rates for
freight. Among the nays we find
the name of our Senator Mr.. Bemis.

ErecautiOn.

\ plan to prevent speculation IN,
and unlawful and improper use of
the funds of the State by the officers
intrustcd with their care, proposed
by Senator Bemis, is marked by his
usual sound Judgment and practical
ability. He proposes to institute
monthly examinations of the ac-
counts of the State Treasurer by a
board of commissioners consisting
of ;he Governor, Auditor and Secre-
tary of State, the result Of the inves-
tigation,to be published in the shape
of detailed reports embracing the
amount of the several funds on
hand, the amount reported at the
previous examination, the amount of
warrants cashed in the interval, sc.
These examinations are not to oc-
cur at stated intervals but at such
times rs the commissioners shall
deem it best; so the Treasurer
will not be able to fix up his books
in anticipation ofthc event. This is
practically the supervision exercis-
ed by the general government over
and the National Banks, will furnish
needed and wholesome check upon
the financial officers of the State.

If by any chance in some future
revision or rctranslation of the
Bible, any one of the ten OF twelve
readings Of Genesis ike, should be
substituted for that now in use, the
scriptural advocates Of hanging
would be in a bad way indeed.
That truly pious and evangelical
paper the Dubuque UeraM. has
lately taken to defending the death
penalty from the Bible, and impelled
by necessity which knows no al
tentative quotes with fcrvor which
must be peculiarly edifying to its
clerical coadjutors the inevitable
text: "W no so sheddeth &C." Why
do the clergy and religious papers
like the Herald persist in wearing
thread-barc this particular passage
when as "Clerici," informs us in the
Conserootice, the right and duty to
hang murdercrs is asserted Sin

and of the New, in which the powers
and duties of human government
are mentioned?"
