NEW YORK.
The Loss Of a sfir,.an~sre steamer.

The Loss Of Effsfsnaire Steamer.
New YORK, April S.-The Steamship
Europe, which foundered at sea on the ToJ-
age from Havre to this port, was one of the
finest ships Of the feet owned by the French
transatlantic Co., and was conceded by
all to be fine, seawoTthy vessel, and we'll
found IN every respect. She was lengthen-
ed last year at Newcastle-on-T Tyne, Eng
land, and altered from sidewheel steamer
10 propeller. Her tonnage was 4,600;
length, 426 feet; breadth of beam, A feet.
ohe was commanded by Capt. Leman, an
able and experienced captain, and who has
been in The employ Of the company for .
number of years. Her value was about ST.
10000, and she vas insured In French in
surance companies for about two-thirIis of
her full value. Her cargo was a very valu-
able one, consisting chiefly of silks, wines
and sardines. Her agents think she proba-
bly, carried a great quantity of extra fine
goods for the spring trade, and that the
value Of her cargo could not have been less
than one million. The greater portion of
these goods was probably insured. Their
exact value cannot OF course be zscertained
until the arrival of her manifest. The
Greece, with the rescued passengers, is ex-
pected to arrive either tonight or to-mor-
row, and all that is now doubtful concern
ing the disaster will be solved then.
Shabby Bank Statement.
AT a meeting last night of the depOsitors
of the Stuyvesant Bank, which suspended
in April, 1872, the report of the receiver
was read. II showed the liabilities of the
bank to be $4,000, and the assets s546,-
900, Of which there is in the hands Of the
assignee only Sl4,060.

CANYAssING.

There should be no active canvass
before the people until nominations are
made, for this produces dissensions
and chickering's, which tell IN the elee-
ton. 1t Is promotive Of rings, oldues
and factions, when these should be an
unbroken brotherhood. 1t excites and
somewhat impairs the interest of the
people In advance of the real contest
for the election 1t has a strong tend
ency to prevent instead of producing
that Gnanimity, that harmony, That
earnestness and Afdor upon which
success depends. If gentlemen
think proper to declare them
selves candidates in anticipation of the
convention, let them state distinct
" that they mean to acquiesce In the
decision of a nominating convention.
whether that decision is for them or
against them; or if they do not. let
them be disregarded by the party, both
In making nomination and on the day
of the election. We must frown down
independents" when they fail to Sc
cure nominations. He who holds his
personal ambition, his own petty aspir-
ations and undivided interests, above
the opinions and wishes of his friends
IN convention, and the opinions and
wishes of men he expects to support
him for Office, does not deserve and
should not receive their supn5Ft.-

A JOKE ON RICHARDsON.

WASHINGTON, April "a wag tel
egraphed from here to Boston, this
morning, that Richardfon had re-
signed, that in the ordinary course Of
routine business he had signed hisown
resignation, without being aware of the
purport of the paper which had been
handed him by a clerk. That he so
signs papers quite frequently, he testi-
fed the other day. At once dispatches
commenced pouring in on the little
Secretary to know if it was true. to
which he responded testify that he had
not resigned, and had no intention of
doing so; that he was in perfect accord
with the President, etc. The affair has

HOW THE ARKANSAS ELECTION
WAS CARRIED.
From TIE t.ShisriIlc Conrier-.Innrnsl

From TIE louisville COurier-JOurnsl
WASHINGTON, April There was
some testimony this morning before the
Committee on the Department Sf Justice,
which shows how the election of 1872 was
conducted by the Administration. The
Deputy Marshal for the Western distriet OF
Arkansas Testified that wlren he was ap-
pointed in 1870 there we're only TWENTY
i've deputies, ard the understanding was
that the number was to continue at that
aguTei bat in 1872 the number was in
eTsssed from one hundred and eighty-nine
70 two hundred and fifty, and after the
election large number We're dismissed.
The committee hss received a reply in part
to IFS application for copies of the contin-
gent expenses of the Department of Jus
dce The tard.ness shown in supplying
this report creates the suspicion that the
delay was to give time for tampering With
the accounts, which, il is believed, as first
rendered would not bear inspection.

{, ARISTOTLE A PLAGIARIST.

DIR. C. B. Schluter has written book
entitled, "Aristotle's Metsphysik" The
book contains about hundred pages, and
is said to contain satisfactory evidence that
Aristotle's metaphysics is a copy or a pla-
giarism from the work of an Indian philos-
OPher named Kapila, whose book was enti-
tSo'i the SG1khyd (Method), and which was
obtained by Alexander the Great. while on
his campaign in Asia, and sent to Aristotle,
who was for seven years the favOrite tutor
Of Alexander. At the time of the cam
paign in Asia, Aristotle was at a school in
the Lyceum, where he presided twelve
years. If DR.. Schluter is correct, the faith
of christendOm has been and is defended
with the processes of thought which were
originated and belonged to the!Buddists of
India, which is the Hindoo philosophy.
The little work has already created a sen
sation in the literary world, and will be
sought after eagerly by theologians and
metaphysicians throughout christendom.-

ses Of pardon and by receiving delegates

that Attorney General Clarkhil's illness

ceedings until tomorrow. II is now rt-
mOred that the French members will move
this evening that months leave of alb
sence be granted Riel on the ground that
he is about to surrender to the Queens

lation of railroad companies in the Terri
tories; MessFS. Wright, Wadleigh, and
Howe fayOring its recommittal; that an

HARRISBURG, April S.-The Democrat

a caucus this morning at which important
action was taken. II was agreed that the
Democrats Of both branches Of the Legisla-

priation bill and the bill for an increase OF
the debt of Philadelphia until the Republic
can majority in the House agreed TO pass a
fair apportionment bill for the city. This
action may endanger the Centennial bill
which needs only to pass the House, it hav-

in both houses. But the partisan action OF
the Democrats may have the effect Of max
ing the Centennial bill a party measure, IN
which case there will be enough Republi-

the aid of the Democrats.
