Steamship Disaster.

London, Dec. 1.-The steamship La
Mountain, from New York, arrived at
Cardiff early this morning with imtelli-
gence of dreadful disaster Of the
steamship Vile dc Havre, which left
New York November 18th for Havre
in command of Capt. eSurmOnt. At
O'clock on the Esd the Vile de Havre
collided with British ship Locherne
from London to New York and sunk.
She was struck amidships and went
down in twelve minutes. The Locherne
Immediately lowered her boats and
saved eighty-scven persons. Among
them Capt. Surmont, five other Off
GERS, fifty-four of the crew and twenty
seven passengers. Two hundred and
twcnty-six other persons on board the
Vile dc Havre were lost. Among the
passengers were the following menu
bers of the late Evangelical Alliance re-
turning to their home: Rev. Antonio
Carrasco, of Spain; Prof. +. Provier,
of Geneva, Rev. N. Wess, Emil Cook
and Mr.. Lorrier, of Paris; Alfred Bar
hanson, of the Belgian legation at
Washington, was also a passenger.
The Vile de Havre was formerly the
Napoleon Third. With the exception
of the Great Eastern, she was the larg-
est steamer that ever entered this port.
The survivors of the Vile de Havre
reached Bristol to-day. They were
all saved by the boats of the Locherne,
and transferred to the La Mountain.
which carried them to Cardiff. There
is great excitement in London over the
loss Of the vessel.

Spain.

Tie Spanish cabinet has agreed TO
deliver 10 the United States govern
ment the steamship Nirginius, and all
the persons remaining alive who were
captured with her, leaving the question
whether the seizure of the vessel was
legal TO be settled hereafter by mixed
tribunal. The question wether DAM
ages shal! be paid to the families and
relatives of the men who were shot, is
also 10 be settled i'm a similar manner.
This decision was not arrived At by the
government before il had confidential
~ consulted with the powers Of Europe,
and was informed by all of them that
reparation was due for the capture of
the steamer and the execution Of the
captives. The decision is also in con-
formiiy with the opinion of leading
Spanish statesmen of all parties, to
whom the question was submitted by
the government.
This was the aspect of affairs by
Tuesday morning papers, but probably
Is practical conclusion Of the matter.
The slaveocrsts and mnrderers Of the
Casino will hate to give up the Virgin
ius, and to see the butcher Burriel
tried and punished, and the Madrid
mob viii feel outraged ut such . con-
ccssion. The result is still doubtful.

lie is accused of having sold out of
having promised it 10 other men: of
having made bargain through which
he, the governor, is 10 be made u. S.
district Judge; of having done il to ell
dorse Caldwell: Of having appointed
one of the old ring. a monopolist. an
attorney for two railroads, etc. Our
name having been presented for the
position il does not become us to show
a sorehead. Not having expected il,
we were not a, least disappointed.
But II does seem Ia us that the mistake

excu.abe. In the light of the late cleo
iions. which showed as clear Us the
noon day soon that the people were for

could hardly have done worse by APP

of his own aspirations this winter. 1t
was the first mistake made by the gov
ernor, but so egregrious that all hopes
of his election TO the u. S. senate this
winter may as well be abandoned, it
seems TO us. We are satisfied that
much of the howl raised comes from
disappointed ambition, yet we think
our governor made bad mistake in
view of his own desire to occupy that

Speaker Blaine.


Upon taking his seat J. G.. Blaine
addressed the lower house of congress
as follows:
Gentlemen of the House of Repre-
nounced by the clerk is such an express
sion of your confidence as calls for my
sincerest thanks. To be chosen speak
err Of the American house of represcn-
tatives is always an honorable distinc-
ton. To be chosen the third time
enhances the honor more than three
fold. To be chosen by the largest body
that ever assembled in the capital i'm
poses a burden of responsibility which
only your indulgent kindness could
cmbolden ME to assume.
The first occupant of this chair pre-
sided over house of sixty-five menu
bers, representing population far be-
low the present aggregate vote of the
state Of New York. At that time in
the whole United States there were
not $4,000 civilized inhabitants to be
found within one hundred miles dis
tant from the flow of the Atlantic tide.
To-day, gentlemen, large majority of
NOu COuIc lTOul UCyOu0 lldt iiIult 0tiu
represent districts then peopled only
by the Indians and the adventurous
frontiersmen. The national govern
ment is not vet as old as many of its
citizens but in this brief span Of time,
less than one lorg life, it has, under
Gods good providence, extended its
power until continent is the field Of
its empire and attcsts the majesty of
its law.
With the growth of the new states
and the resulting changes in the centres
of population. new interests are dcvel-
oped rival to the old, hut by no means
hostile: diverse, but not antagonistic.
Nay, rather are all these interests in
harmony, and the true science Of just
government is to give to each its full
and fair play; Expresses none by un-
due eXactiOn, favOrs none by undue
privileges. II is this great lesson which
our daily experience is teaching us,
binding us together more closely, max
ing our mutual independence more
manifest, and causing us to feel, wheth-
er we live in the north or in the south,
in the east or in the west, that we have
indeed one country, one constitution,
one DESTINY.

GRANGER FROM CowsKIN.
p. S. Varying the question, You
seem to be having q heavy run Of girl
babies in the city, and are over joyous,
as the Wichitaites were on the morning
after the election But "stop . little, y
wait till the returns from the country
come in. Only two girls to the dozen.
What We want is voters. Girl babies
are all well enough for city folks, but
farmers must keep their numbers good,
or else Garrison's supply of collars will
kill the demand. Our friend w. II.
layer thinks girl babies are very nice,
but do not compare with his boy that
has just come to town. 1t weighed
just nine pounds.

ing was received this afternoon:
SAN Francisco, Nov. %.
To the Honorable Newton Booth,
Governor of California Sir: hereby
resign my unexpired term in the senate
of the United States as senator from
California. This resignation is to take
effect Immediately, SO that the state
legislature, which meets the first of
next month, may fill the vacancy, as
my intimate friends in the senate and
elsewhere well know that | have long
desired to withdraw from that body,
and at the same time to withdraw
wholly from politics and political life.
NV public duties Oh both sides of the
continent have demanded of me and
have received so much attention as to
greatly impair my health, aud compel
me to neglect my affairs. The latter
consideration is not controlling one,
but the condition of my health is such
as 10 lead me TO seriously doubt my
strength to discharge the tedious duties
of senator from California. have de-
ferred carrying out my desire until the
present time, when both objects NAV
be accomplished at once, and when the
legislature just about to meet, may
elect my successor.
Very respectfully, K. CAssERLy.

Senator Ingalls, Departure for

The LcavenwoIth Times saws:
Hon. John J. Ingalls,, L. S. senator,
will leave the state to-day for WASH
ington, and be at his post Of duty upon
the assembling of congress next Mon
day. During the summer and autum
he made frequent trips through the
country, and visited in his Various
trips nearly every county in Kansas.
He goes to Washington probably bet
ter posted with the real wants of his
constituents and the general needs Of
the state, than any Of his predecessors.
He has extended his research for in
formation respecting desired legisla-
ton beyond the boundaries Of the
state, and will not take his place in
congress as locality senator, but will
be known as senator Of the United
States.
Mr.. Ingalls,, We are glad to say, is in
full accord with administration on Gu
ban affairs. He believes in maintain
ing the national honor. yet admires
the conduct Of the administration in
refusing to yield TO the popular clamor
for immediate war.
