II win not help the White Star line,
whose steamer Atlantic went down
with over six hundred and twenty
souls the other day, for the public
TO know that all its steamers are
remarkable for their great length of
beam. When the Baltic made its first
trip from New York, a few years ago, it
ran ashore in the Lower Bay and broke
amidships, and there can be no doubt
that this popularity Of its construction
aided the waves in breaking up the
Atlantic. This occurrence will recall
the excitement in New York, last sum-
mer, when it leaked out that one of the
steamers Of this line sailed fcr England,
crowded with tourists, although it was
known to the company and her officers
that of the three blades of her screw
one was broken off, and another so
badly injured as TO be almost useless.

grew out of the charges made against
bim of irregularities committed when
he was acting in the capacity of agent
for the Creek, Choctaw, Cherokee and
other Indians who served as soldiers in
the late war. In the collection of boun-
ties for those Indians he is accused Of
forging the power of attorney and in
dorsements on drafts, using the names
of dead Indians for large sums of mon
ey. Judge Wright emphatically denies
that there is any truth in the charges,
denounces the prosecution as malicious,
and says that time will probably dis
close the "Africanp hidden in the treaty
of 1856, and show why so many distin-
guished individuals are required to visit
the Indian country and look after rail-
road land grants and speculations in
projected cities.
