A NEW AMERICAN STEAMSHIP.
Description OF the COlumbus, OF W.
r. Clyde s. Co.'s Havana steamship

Description OF the Columbus, or w,
r. Clyde s. Co.'s Havana steamship
Line.
The Columbus, Captain Reed, the latest addition
to the steamships OF w. p Clyde Co, OF this city,
arrived yesterday afternoon at pier Is North
River, from Philadelphia, where she was built. She
Is brig-rigged iron steamship, 300 feet long. 81
feet broad and % feet deep. Her measurement II
240o tons, with cargo capacity OF 800 tons. She
has compound engines OF 1000 horse power and
four large boilers, intended to carry sixty pounds
OF steam. She Is built in dive water tight cOmpart
ments, and has accommodations for about eighty
first class passengers.
There are two spacious saloons. superbly fitted
up and finished in French walnut, Spanish cedar,
satln and magnolia woods and ornamented with
line carvings and gliding. The stauero0ms ara
fitted for tropical climate well lighted. large anu
airy with upholstery OF red velvet and finished
In black walnut aud ash, and both cabins
are fGrnisnea WIN Yetset CARPETS ana
the comfort OF ladies. A large bathroom aud toilet
room, elegantly finished in walnut, are among
the convenlences OF the sup. The pantry Is tur-
nished in the modern hotel style, with steam
tables &c The dining saloon Is iorwsrd OF the
engines and boilers, so that 1t will be quite rea
from the disagreeable smell OF oil.
There Is q large promenade deck ITO feet long
and easy OF access. over which awnings will 10
spread in the tropics, SO that the passengers will
always be able to enjoy cool slesta. There are six
metallic uieboats on this deck, with most com.
plete equipment of lfe-savlng apparatus. All
cargoes Will be loaded and discharged by steam, and
anchors and sails Will also be handled by this mar.
vellously rapid agency. Captain Reed, who showed
the HERALD reporter through the steamer yester.
day afternoon, stated that the Columbus cost
$3.50, 600, ana was intended for the Havana trade.
She will start on her first trip on Tuesday next.
The appointments are Oh scale OF nagniicenOo
scarcely surpassed by the most handsome ocean
steamer, and this new addition to w. p. Clyde
Co.'s Havana Steamship line certainly reflects
credit upon American shipbuldlng. The Columbus
arrived at three O'Clock yesterday afternoon at the
pier, but owing to the huge mass OF Ice which
blocked up the approach 1t was past lour when she

Salaries Of Supreme Judges.
[Er,.m the Austin Statesman.l

We noted with regret the recent re-
signation If our distinguished fellow
citizen, w. p. Ballinger, as associate
Justice of our Supreme court, owing,
among other reasons, to the inadequa-
cy of the salary--S4 800, which is about
the compensation of Il first-class clerk
here--while necessitating the sacrifice
of his lucratice practice. Few men
who are worthy of the position earn
less than eight to twelve thousand per
annum, and it is rs unnecessary rs it is
absurd, to expect gentlemen of talent
and established reputation to assume
the greatest responsibilities of the
State, at Il personal sacrifice, and pos
sibly personal mbarrassment.-[G Gal
weston Civilian.
While we regret the resignation of
Judge Bollinger, and believe the sal
aries of the judges are too low, we
cannot suffer to pass unnoticed the
above article. We believe that our
supreme bench, as at present consti-
tuted, is equal in legal learning to that
OF any State in the Union.
T. Chief Justice Roberts was au associ-
ate on the old bench with Hemphill
and Wheeler, and his decisions were
marked 10y clearness and learning
which secured for him an enviable
reputation among the jurists of the
South. Judges Devine, Reeves and
the other associate justices are among
the most learned lawyers of the State.
All of them were judges before the war,
and honored for their purity and learn
ing. Though their salaries are low, we
congratulate the State that these gen.
tlemen have been willing toincur sacri-
fees to rescue us from the judicial in
competency which has lately marked
our history We question whether as
able bench can be found in any State
of the Union. We are satisfied that
their nominations have given uni
versal approval and qualification
throughout Texas and abroad where
their distinguished talents and virtues
are known and appreciated, it will be
hailed as an omen of good, and the
dawning of Il better government.

SAcRILEGE il In the land. The dis
patches yesterday indicated the elec-
ton to the vacancy in the State senate,
from Washington and Burlcson coun-
ties, of Seth Shepherd, Il native OF
Washington county, over the late
senator, st. Matthew Gaines, a gentle
man of Ethiopian descent, born in
Tuckapaw, Louisiana, of the color of
the ink with which these lines are
printed, and distinguished for his ver-
satility of talent. He Is II fine gumbo
scholar in English, French, Congo,
Senegambia, Cagen and other Ian
guages, and il close imitator of Brig
ham Young in feminine mathematics.
Great sympathy has been manifested
for st. Matthew because an ignorant
and prejudiced jury sentenced him to
the penitentiary for having divers and
sundry wives. AS well might Brigham
Young, chief of the Latter Saints, be
consigned to durance vile for the same
cause. Why punish st. Matthew and
allow st. Brigham go free? Oh! there's
the rub. st. Brigham was born in
New York, and st. Matthew is de-
scended from the royal house of Daho-
mey, or some other big family in the
land of jungles. Mr.. Shepherd ought
to be ashamed.
