\ CoNGREssMAN's STORY OF THE Sourn.
Hon VIM. p. Frye, member of Goa gress
from Maine, has made a brief trip into
Virginia, with a view, at the outset, of
travelling further South, but his experience
OF southern life was so unpleasant that he
returned, going no farther than Petersburg.
He says that the utmost poverty, neglect,
and prejudice still prevail, and that the
people are far behind in improvement, and
in their methods Of living. The hotels are
foul and unwholesome the cookery bad,
and the entire atmosphere tainted with
shiitossnoss. The prejudice against North.
ern men is still deep, especially in social re-
lations. Mr. Frye speaks of one gentleman
Ia Maine mani who has lived in Petersburg
twelve years, next door "neighbor" to an
"F. +. v, Of most azure blood 1t CHANGED
that the houses Of the two were identical
For nearly twelve years the two families
had lived, side by side, without the slight.

ly, daughter Of the aristocratic Yirginau
stumbled into the Yankees house, By blum
der. She soon retreated on discovering
her mistake. On reaching home her moth.
er required her to remove her clothing and
be sure not TO put on the habiiments des.
ecrated by the Yankees footstool, until
they had been washed.

The intelligence from Spain does not
improve 10 spite of the hopeful assurances
OF Figucras. The new Republic is sur
rounded with embarrassments, and even its
warmest friends must look with solicitude
to the future. CASTELAR, threatens to resign
because of the indecisive policy of his col.
leagues, and his withdrawal would be re-.
garded as portcnding fatal division. The
national finances are in desperate state !;
the army is discontinued the Carlisis.
though making little progress, continue to
be exceedingly annoying aud to defy the
efforts Of the government for their suppress
sion. In some places the regular troops
are in open revolt, and there is a general
feeling Of distrust and uneasiness. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that the Republic
will overcome all Of these difficulties. 1t

They take the salary steal a good deal
to heart at the West, and if the people
there have any memories worth speaking
Of there will be good many new men in
the next Congress that is chosen The ex.
cuses which most Of the men who voted
for it make for their action do not satisfy
the people at all, and when the gentlemen
who voted for the bill 60 on the stump be.
fore their constituents in 1874 they will
have some hard questions to answer. One
editor in Indiana is malicious enough to in.
form his readers that at present prices

quired to pay the congressman in that dis.
trict, aud in the present condition of the
western produce markets, practical facts
like that are more convincing than flights
Of rhetoric.

The Loss OF the Atlantic.

We publish elsewhere the details Of this
terrible disaster at sea, one that is almost
without parallel in the records of marine
casualties, and TO the sad list embracing
the st. George and the Defiance the Arctic,
the Pacific and the Northaeet, must now
be added the Inflated Atlantic. If one
may be permitted to judge by the particu-
lars thus far received, it would appear that
the catastrophe was simply the result of
stupid laundering, We are told that the
steamer, which ran direct between Queens
town and New York, endeavored to put
into Halifax for coal. The vessel had only
been out eleven days, and certainly it would
seem worse than folly to leave port at this
uncertain season of the year with only suf-
icent coal to last through very quick pas
sage. If the Atlantic had been amply sup.
piled with fuel there would have been no ne.
eessity for going out ofthe regular course to
enter Halifax harbor, and thus the awful
disaster would have been avoided. Then
fatal mistake was made by the officers,
who mistook one light house for another,
ran right across the mouth Of Halifax har-
Dor, and went directly upon the rocks.
There may possibly have been some cause
for this mistake, but it certainly looks in
eIcusable. Although it is said that the
officers Of the Inflated boat did all ia their
power to preserve order and save the lives
of the passengers, the fact stares us 10 the
face that not woman or child was saved.
1t certainty looks as though everyone was
left to look out for himself, aud that the
weaker portion of the panic-stricken crowd
we're left to destruction. We certainly
look in vain for those noble acts of heroism
which we're SO conspicuous in the Arctic
disaster, aud by which the brave young cap
tain Of the Northaeet will ever be remem.
bered.
OF course an investigation into the causes
Of the disaster will be had. 1t is certainly
to be hoped that the work will be thorough,
and that if the catastrophe was caused by
negligence on the part of the owners or of.
dcers the guilty parties will be severely
dealt with. The coming summer will wit
ness the greatest amount Of ocean travel
ever known, and it is due to the travelling
public that the passage across the ocean be
made as safe as possible by the companies
who control the various lines of steamships.

that chartered mopopolies not regulated by

to settle the question whether State that

that it is essential that the contest between

acknowledge the supremacy Of law that
it is the duty Of the Legislature to pass
laws fixing the rates Of railroad freight

should pass bill enforcing the principle
that railroads are public highways that
railroads should be compelled to carry all
freight offered in the country through

were cast, each plate weighing thirty-eight
pounds, making total weight Of five thou

lier-A Stakeholder Moves to Intervene
i'm the Action.
Before Judge Blatchford.
Yesterday in the United States Circuit Court,
before Judge Blatchlord in the case of Lucy Fisk,
executrix OF the late James Fisk Jr, VS.. The Union
Pacific Railroad Company and the Credit MoDilier
OF America, Mr.. L. A.. Lockwood moved, on the
part OF Mr.. N. w. Butler, stakeholder Of twenty
five shares for leave to intervene in the action and
contribute to the expenses of the SUIT, share in the
benefits heretofore had. and that the suit shall not
be discontinued without notice to Mr.. Butler.
Mr.. ID. ID. Field and Mr.. Jcnckcs, OF Rhode Island,

THE COURT S.

The case or the People VS.. Mrs.. Virginia W.
Justh, charged with having an abortion performed
on her at her house in Oyster Bay, In August last,
was resumed Friday last at the Court House,
Jamaica, L. l., before Judge Snedeker. The case
had been adjourned from the previous day OF the
session In consequence OF the time of the Court
being In the interim engaged TN the regular bust
ness then pending before 1t. The case for the
prosecution had then closed, with permission to
reproduce the notorious DR.. Grindle and his vile.
1t appeared, however, from the statement OF coun-
sci for the people to the Court that these worthless
had he'd beyond the Jurisdiction OF the Court and
its officers. The prosecution, however, were here
content to close their case. Mr. Townsend, counsel
for the Defence then made q motion TO dismiss the
complaint supporting it In long argument,
chiefly contending that the whole accusation was
the result OF a conspiracy on the part OF her hus-
band, Mr. Emil Justh. Alter an equally long argu-
ment by Mr.. Shaier, associated with the District
Attorney, Judge Snedeker put the party charged
upon her defence, per nently asking Mr.. Townsend,
II it q conspiracy, how did lie account for the
presence OF Mrs. Jones, an associate and accom-
plice OF the Grindles, at Mrs. Jusths house for
eight days, and her discharge therefrom with a
remuneration OF $50. Mr.. Townsend's effort to
explain this, to the judicial mind, very suspicious
circumstance, will be detailed by whatever facts
they can produce when the testimony for the de-
fence is put in. In the meantime the Court put the
accused upon the defence, and adjourned the pro-
ceedlngs till tomorrow at eleven O'Clock.
Yesterday, in the United States Circuit Court,
before Judge Blatchiord. Mr.. william Fullerton,
counsel for william M. Graham, moved to reduce
defendants bail, which had been fixed by Judge
Benedict at $4,000. The defendant, who had been
President Of the Waikiki National Bank s charged
with having embezzled about one hundred thou
sand dollars, the property OF that establishment.
Judge Batchford declined to interfere, considering
that, under the circumstances, the bail was not
excessive. Counsel said he would take an early
opportunity OF bringing the matter again before
the notice OF Judge Benedict Mr.. Graham Is now
locked up in Ludlow Street Jail.
Thomas woodward was yesterday held by Com
missioner Shields to await the action Of the Grand
Jury on q charge OF having refused to join the
American ship Nearschus, after he had signed arti
cles and received his advance note.
