The Ohio River Disaster.

We have already briefly chronicled the
burning of the steamer Pat Rogers near
Aurora, Ind, Aug. 9th, involving the
loss of many lives. Further details Of
the disaster show that the fire occurred
in that particular part of the river, for
just there it was impossible for the boat
to reach the shore, drawing as much wa
ter as she did. There was dry land on
the starboard side, only 80 yards distant,
but wall of fame interviewed. On the
larboardside the land was long distance
off. The wind was blowing toward the
nearest shore, and drove the flames in
that direction. Many of those who got
to the nearest land are dis6gured for life,
the exposed part of their bodies being
actually roasted by the excessive heat.
The negro crew behaved badly, hurrying
off the boat before there was any immi-
nent danger, and monopolized all availa-
Bile means of support. Two coored men
and one white man rowed away in a life
boat that could have been made to convey
20 or 30 persons to the shore.
Numerous thrilling scenes and incidents
are narrated. Miss l.. j. Williams o.
Louisville struggled in the water for :
hours with crate Of peaches which she
got gentleman to throw over for her blu
which revolvcd like reel, and had shu
her eyes in despair as she let 60 her hold
when she was drawn into skiff and say
ed. Miss Rowden of Louisville jumped
from the boat toward the Indiana shore
as the hungry tongues of fame licking
along the surface of the wator horribl.
burned her head and face. She says tina
while moving through the water severa
grasping, drowning wretchss extended
their hands toward her, some even grasp
ing her hair, tearing 1t out by the hand
full.
The la st living object seen on board tn
boat was little child, three or four year
Of age, running about screaming wit
fright. surrounded by the flames, and it
legs, arms and face exposed to the terri
BILE heat.
The origin OF the fire is s till wrapt i
mystery. II was at first laid to the &C
count of negro who had been discharg
! ed from the boats employ he had take
, deck passage, and was heard to remark
Just before starting, that he would max

, but further investigation has dissipate,
all suspicion which rested upon him a
: author Of the fire. The cargo of tn
boat was valued at about $4,000, an,
the insurance foots up $4,000, includin
$4,000 in the Etna of Hartford, ct.
The number on board, all told is sup
posed to have been from seventy-two /
sevcnty-fve persons. The exact list can
not be had. The reports Of lost hav

We have never Intentionally suffered
our columns to be used in furthering the
ends of any party opposed to the interests
and wishes of the farmers of LamoilIe
County, aud we hope it may always be
our fortune TO be found in future, as in the
past. advocating the interests, and as
far as we may be able, fnrthering the ad'
vaucement Of the agricultural and labor
ing classes of our county and State. DID
we believe that the Farmers movement"
as it is called in Lamoille County. was
really what it purports to be and was a
necessity or desideratum for the advance
mont of those classes, nothing should ap-
pear ia our columns to throw straw in
the way of its progress and success; but
VIC cannot believe this for first, We
believe the Republican party of Vermont
is wholly or nearly SC made u2 of our best
thinking enterprising farmers. Certainly
nine.tenths of its members are farmers,
and these facts existing, TO say that a
Farmers Party is called for by them is
an absurdity.
Secoudly-after making a very thorough
inquiry we are entirely satisfied that the
farmers have not asked and do not de-
mand the formation Of a new party--cer
tainy nothing of the kind is heard Of ii
any other county in the State, We believe
and would not have been here, were j
not that certain Democrats--weil know
ing that nothing could be accomplished
toward defeating the Republican party
except by getting up some division il
their ranks, and anxiousto secure to them
selves some Of the honors which they were
sure, as Democrats, they could never re
ceive at the hands Repubicans--hav'
been hobnobbing with few disappointed
Republicans, and the result is call for (
convention composed of those who belon!

seems little peculiar, too, and we woul,
like to have some one rise and explain
why the Democrats delayed calling thci
convention until ten days before election
Can it be true that they called it just tw
days after the "without distinction ofpal

Of picking up the Democratic nominees {

there might have been much labor save
in calling the two on tie same day.

LETTER FROM PLACERvILLE.

PLaCEEvILL.E, l. T.. June "a. 1874
Ed WOgLD:-Enclosed pIease find six dol
lars. it being my subscription to the WORLD;
If not correct / will remit the balance. The
article in your issue Of June Goth. on the inan.
cial affairs If Boise county is most opportnne.
and few more Of the same tenor will have
good effect in this vicinity. Let it be under
stood that no citizen, however competent. can
have a life interest in any county office. and
delegates to the next convention can nominate
a ticket which will prepare the way to carry
out the reform measures you advocate with ~
much ability. Yours. truly.
SUBSCRIBER.
We make no pretentions to ability. being
perfectly well aware Of our deficiency in that
respect, but we believe retrenchment in the
public expenditures. and reduction Of salaries
all rousd to be the two browning needs OF the
times. and shall. therefore. advocate these IN
til curtailment is effected or we are silenced.
In order to show conc:usively that our views
of the matter are correct. we have called upon
the Auditor for an abstract Of moneys paid In
to the Treasury Of this county annually, and
sball publish it when made out. BY this we
expect to show that the cost Of maintaining
county organization in Boise county has been
more per annum than it cost, per annum, TO
defray the expenses Of State government IN
the State Of Oregon prior to 1862. II there
exists any sound reason for this vast expense
we ar. unable to discover it. But the people
must change it if it is to be changed Those
who are growing rich BY the wrong will not
do it. One good way to effect . reduction OF
expenses would be for the next Legislature 70
cut of the 81 500 year paid the Governor
and Judges Of the Supreme Court, and sucn
other Territorial officers ~ are paid salaries
out of the Territorial Treasury; and also 70
.too the payment Of mileage to District judges
All Of the Territorial officers are appointed oy
Congress and cent here under such salaries az
Conn ress thinks are equivalents for tho services
reouired Of them-and their pay certainly
equals their ability and fitness for the positions
thew gil. Hereafter we shall show that the
government pays every officer it sends here
