the awful lonlinass Of situation and to increase
the dreadful peril, violent gale commenced.
That night for many hours no mali boat cross
ed the Irish Channel, and great destruction
was done on the coast. And through these
awful hours of darkness this man was tossing
about at the mercy Of the waves some fifteen
miles from land. The wind was SO vio-
lent that he had to give over padding, and
with one hand to shade his face (the only part
OF his body exposed) from the cutting blast.
Once his paddle was wrenched away by o
heavy sea, but it fortunately came into his
hand again. For several seconds a wave
would completely sumberge him. then he
would shoot on TO the crest and take breath
before he was again hurled down sloping
mass of water which seemed 100 feet to the
bottom. As result Of the tossing he became
seasick, a thing he says, which never hap
pened to him before His indomirable spirit
however, conqured everything, and about one
o'clock the Wind began to blow directly on
shore. His paddle was piled vigorously, and
al three o'clock on Wednesday morning he per-
ceived he was near breakers and a rock bound

along parallel to the coast, and fortunately

the cliffs and propelled himself cautiously

STRUGGLING WITH THE OCEAN.
CoRK, Ireland, Oct, 22, 1874.

When ii was announced in the city this
morning that an American seaman had in the
gale OF Tuesday night jumped overheard from
a transatlantic liner and, af or swimming for
seven hours, had landed on the Skbbereen
coast, people, while quite prepared to give
Americans credit for doing big things, were
yet unprepared for such demand on their
credulity as this. The thing, however, was
done. and the hero of it was Cptain Paul
Boynton of the New Jersey Lifeguards, Allan
tic City. This gentleman, a professional d.
yer Of well known daring, left New York
about fortnight ago in the National Com.
pany's steamer Queen, taking with him pa
tent swimming costume. 1t was Captain
B0ynton's intention when from two to three
hundred miles distant from New York TO Jump
verboard and swim back, but the commander
OF the steamer was man of little faith and
vetoed the experiment Captain Boynton had
therefore to remain an involuntary passenger
until the vessel approached the Irish coast on
Tuesday evening, when the commander, hav-
ing been repeatedly importuned, gave his
permission.
Captain Boyton drew on his India rubber
alright suit and inflated the air chambers,
in his air tight sack he placed food for three
days, compass, II bull's-eye lantern, some
books Gust TO beguile the time on the water),
some signal rockets and United States flag.
In his inside pocket he placed a mail which
the passengers had gwen him to post, he
strapped his bow lie knife and axe to his side
and grasping his paddle was lowered into the
water, amid the cheers of the passengers, at
half-past nine o'clock M.
II was wild, dark night, he was close to
the Fastnet rock, with Cape Clear three
miles from him, and Baltimore, toward which
he intended TO make, was in direct line sew

vigorously, and now the lights OF the vessel
were lost in the night. In quarter of an
hour more his spirit almost quailed, when
tossed bi4h on the crest OF wave he could
no longer see the eoas. line or any lights
The wiod blew, the rain poured down and the
tide set dead against him.

STATE CONSTABULARY.

The fate OF the State Constabulary in
Massachusetts contains lesson that the
advocates in this State Of such an insti-
tuition should carefully note. After four
years trial of it the people of our sister
State have pronounced against it so de-
cidedly that the last hope of its friends in
its preservation is lost. At the session Of
the legislature this year bill repeating it
passed both branches by large majorities,
but was vetoed by Governor Talbot. On
account of this veto strong opposition was
manifested to the nomination of Mr.. Tai
bot as candidate for Governor at the late
election, but the republican State conven-
ontookthe responsibility to nominate him,
with what result our readers already
know-his defeat and the election of
democrat for Governor, although the State
in 1872 cast nearly seventy-fve thousand
republican majority. There was no cause
for this defeat except his veto Of the bill
70 kill, the constabulary. He is an excel
lent governor, respected by the people,
but they defeated him in order to end
the constabulary. The coming legisla-
ture will make short work with it during
the next session, and Mr.. CASTOR will ap-
prove the repeal.
The lesson in this is that the State Con-
stabulary cannot be sustained where the
people are opposed to it. 1t is useless TO
make laws which the public sentiment
does not approve. The endorsement of
the republican party of Massachusetts,
could not save Mr.. Talbot from sinking
when weighted with a measure obnoxious
to the voters. The party suffered by the
attempt to carry him, and yet neither
saved him nor the constabulary. After
this signal defeat of the constabulary in
Massachusetts they must be idiots who
hope for its re-establishment in Maine.

4 SUGGESTIVE RESULT.

A year ago Wisconsin led the movement
of malcontents against the republican par
ty. The republican candidate for Govern
or was defeated and his competitor elect
ed BY a majority of l5,4l2. This result in
a State which had given Grant majority
of 10. 500, was hailed by the democracy as
a sure sign that the State was lost to the
republicans forever. The returns OF the
election last Tuesday tell however differ
ent story. The republicans have not only
carried majority of the popular vote, but
they have elected six Of the eight Con-
ercssmenJ that we're voted for, keeping
their relative strength in Congress the
same as at present, and have also elected
majority of the legislature, thus insur-
ing the election of republican to the
United States Senate.
This result is very suggestive. AS WIS
consin was the first to feel and be In
fiuenced BY causes similar to those which
onerated In other States in the late cleo
tons. so she is the first to discover the
hollowness of reforms sought for by help
ing the democracy to power, and again
resumes her position as a republican
State. A brief season of democratic con.
troll in these times is the best evidence
that can be afforded of the unftness of that
party to hold power. The States which
have Welded to the Establishments of de-
mocracy this year will be glad to renew
their allegiance to the republican party in

THE PRESS on THE ELECTIONS.
from the New York Times (Rep)1

The opposition will now have an oppor-
tunity Of producing policy OF their own,
and they will find It harder to do that sue.
cessfully than to attack the measures OF
Republicans. We shall probably witness
the development of the ideas which were
put forward in the platforms of Ohio and
Indiana, and the effect Of that upon our
entire financial system cannot fail to be
very great. The West and South always
controlled the Democratic party, and they
will continue to control it. What these
sections Of the country demand now is in
flation. combined with partial reputation.
Whether the people will deliberately ap-
prove Of that policy when 1t is submitted
to them without any disguise still remains
to be ascertained. When we see the great
city OF New York deliberately voting to
be put back under the rule of Tammany,
it mnst be admitted that even the cause of
common honesty does not appear to be
highly popular We probably have be-
fore US stormy era. in which many ques-
tons which the people imagined were
finally settled will be dealt with anew,
and in a way calculated to surprise the
world. The legislation which has been
carried out since the war, on questions of
uuuuCC, ICGOuSli uSbiOLs auu TIC HCSIO,
and the constitutional amendments of the
same period. are not beyond the reach of
a Democratic majority in Congress and
the country. The history of the rebellion
and its consequences is by no means COM
pleted. For the sake of the country, it is
to be hoped that the Democrats will use
their victory in spirit OF moderation and
prudent craftsmanship. We doubtless see

date for 1876; and if the Republican par
ty Is not conducted with greater wisdom
and good fortune during the next two
years than it has been during The last two,
Mr.. Tilden is the mos. probable successor
Of Gen. Grant.
From the New York Tribune. Ind)l
The verdict Of the country against
Grantism is delivered. There were only
two great questions before the people at
this election. One was whether the Ad-
ministration deserves the public confidence
and the other was whether it ought to be
perpetuated. They have both been an
swered in the negative, SO loudly that
even the President must hear the verdict.
This is the end Of
Grantism. 1t is not the revival of the re-
beiiion nor the definitive rehabilitation of
the Democratic party. 1t simply elimi-
mates Grantism from politics as an imper-
tinent factor, and leaves the two parties
confronted $50 evenly matched that both
must hereafter be careful to make no mis-.
takes. The future belongs to the one who
shall earn it. ,s.1
