The crew Of the Loch Erne, which
ran into and sunk the Willie du Havre,
have arrived at Plymouth. They were
brought into port by the British Queen,
which took them OFF the I-och Erne on
the 18th ult., at which time she was i'm
sinking condition.
The account OF the Vile du Havre
disaster given by the rescued crew rep
resents that the captain and second
mate of the steamer came on board the
Loeb Erne shortly after the collision,
and did not assist in saving any OF the
passengers, and that the majority of the
French crew exhibited lamentabie cow

Spain.
A Herald cable special from Paris
says: A Madrid cipher dispatch says
the Cuban question is again grave.
Minister Sickles has rendered his resig-
nation as minister in consequence of the
disagreement about the Spanish compli-
cations. This disagreement has existed
for some time. 1t is understood that in
the recent negotiations Secretary Fish
acted directly with President CASTELAR,,
ignoring Sickles and disappearing of his
imperative tone.
The whole Spanish press Indignantly
protests against the tone of President
Grants message as an impertinent in
reference in Cuban affairs-really none
of his business.

FoR several reasons the meeting of the
present Congress has been looked for
ward to with more than ordinary inter-
est by those Of every political organiza-
iion. In some. respects the results have
so far proven far from satisfactory. The
developments of fraud and corruption
made during the. past twelve months
have so reused the people that Reform
has become u national slogan. 1t re-
mains to be scelL whether the leaders of
the Republican and Democratic parties
are willing to recognize and accept its
genuineness and, by prompt condemna-
ton of those whose robes were soiled
before the sight OF the people. testify
their Desire to deserve the further sup
port of the nation. Unfortunately,
however, there has been exhibited a
reprehensible blindness too, or still
worse criminal disregard for the out
ragged country and in the very opening
hours of Congress the people were treat
ed TO the spectacle OF their servants op-
ealy defying and laughing to scorn the
Just indignation that had been expressed
op every hand. In the formations of
committees, in the nominations of the
regular party caucuses and in the hon
ors conferred by way, of appointments,
those who we've most intimately con-
nected with the Salary Grab and the
Credit Mcbilier disgraces have been put
forward and supported with an unamin-
ity which augurs poorly for the respect
entertained by our national Legislators
for those whose word should be needed.
But while this action. on the part of the
Democratic Congressional caucus and
this iawiessness in the appointment OF
the Committees in the House by the
: Republican speaker, have in one sense
proven unsatisfactory, yet in another
they have proven so far useful as to
havs demonstrated beyond doubt that
neither party is willing to set its face
sQuarely against corruption. An ex-
change says; "But where, then, are we
to look for improvement and reform ?''
The answer is easily found. To the peo-
pie. The masses are to man in favor

Harrison has since his death been care

put his remains in the public charge.

the three States, Ohio, Indiana and

only obstacle to the execution of this

for such purpose he may be induced to
waive them.

FROM the Secretary of the Interior we
have received his Annual Report OF the
operations of his Department during
the past year. ASIDE from the ordinary
topics which usually constitute the body
OF such documents there are in the pams
phlet before Us, one or two, the statistics
connected with which are of more than
ordinary interest, by reason Of develop
,nents made during the past twelve
months. Notably is this the case with
regard to the Investigations upon the
Pacific Railroad and the tabulated state
ments relative to the disposition of pub
lie lands. As yet we have not had the
time for careful comparison of all the
figures given, but even a hasty exami-
nation shows, at least. one significant
fact in connection with the latter named
subject The report shows that during
the year ending June 80, 1873, over six
million of acres of land were certified to
different railroads--which is nearly one
half the entire amount taken for all pur-
poses, including cash sales, homesteads,
military warrants, schools and State
swamp lands. In exact figures out of
13,030, ,606.s7 acres granted, 5,0S3, ,o36.57
we're granted to railroads. The state
rnent becomes an important one for the
consideration of the oranges inasmuch
as this has been done notwithstanding
the ostensibly earnest opposition of both
rho RapuHlican and DemOcratie t,, ri; as,
to further land grants. Indeed it can
not but be considered Of Importance to
oil when the fact is known that one
half the government lands taken every
year are appropriated by railroad COM
panies whose chief business seems to be
the establishment of monopolies which
the people are vainly striving to over
throw. go.

The illustrations Of THE ALDINE have won
world wide reputation, and in the art centres
of Europe It is an admitted fact that its wood
cuts are examples Of the highest perfection ever
attained. The common prejudice in favor of
steel-plates is rapidly yielding to more ednca-
ted and discriminating taste which recognizes
the advantages Of superior artistic quality with
greater facility Of production. The wood-cuts
Of THE ALDINE possess all the delicacy and
elsborate finish of the most costly steel plate,
while they anord better rendering of the ar
fists original. s,gv F51 -
