HE ABANDONED FRErCH sTEAMERs.

THE ABANDONED FRENCH STEAMERS.
We have never before read of such
strange proceedings at sea as those at
tendaut upon the recent abandonment OF
two French steamships at sea, and the
transference OF their passengers and crew
to English steamers.
The Europe, first abandoned, has not
since been heard from, though it is the
unanimous opinion of the officers of the
English steamship Greece, that she would
float for an indefinite time, and finally be
brought into port The second steamer,
the America, has already arrived safely at
Liverpool, and her cargo is said to be in
good condition. The Europe may or may
not yet turn up. Each of these ships was
first class, having carrying capacity of
about four thousand tons. Before the loss
of the Vile du Havre, another ship of the
same unfortunate line, these steamers
were deemed invulnerable to any storm
the old Atlantic could experience, and
there is probably not sailor in the world
who would not have shipped in either
with the utmost confidence. The Cunard
line has been in operation for more than
quarter of century, and yet never lost
ship that we have heard of, though other
lines have, during the same time, lost
vessels equally as strong and seaworthy
as the Cunarders. But an example of
abandoning two fine steamers, both able to
float, and with the engines in good work
ing order, has been set for the first time
recently by two French shippers, whose
regulations for skill, prudence and cour-
age have heretofore been of the very high
est order. The conduct Of Captain Le-
marie, of the Europe, toward Captain
Thomas, of the Greece, since the rescue,
has, however, been amenable to the Sc
verest censure. Even his most positive
statements are fatty contradicted by all
the officers of the Greece who have said
on the subject.

PARISH CONVENTION.

The State Central Executive Committee
Of the Republican party some weeks since
met and determined that more thorough
organization of the party was necessary;
and for the purpose Of making it effective
proposed that dissensions in the parishes
be harmonized, and delegates elected to
attend parish convention to be held in
each parish Of the State on the last Satur-
day in April. In accordance with this
action the delegates to the Parish Conven-
ton for the parish of Orleans met yester-
day at twelve o'clock M. in the Mechanics
Institute, and effected temporary organ
ization. The convention was called to Or
der by Ex-Governor Pinchback, who ad-
dressed it at some length, partly in excul-
patton ofhimself and partly with seeming
desire to harmonic conflicting elements.
The Ex-Governor said that as he had been
accused Of packing the convention he
would improve the first good opportunity
that had presented itself of contradicting
the 'tsoft impeachment. He thought he
was too well known to render the contra
diction of such report necessary, yet he
would contradict it just for appearance
sake.
The active duties Of the Ex-Governor as
q member of the State Central Executive
Committee, and other committees charged
with the work Of organization, together
with the fact that he has been returned
member of the parish convention, may
have given rise to the charge of his having
packed the convention. If so the ex-Gov-
ernor boldly meets it with denial which
must stand good unless his accusers come
forward and prove their allegation. Unjust
be confessed, however, that the most per-
feet harmony does not exist in the present
attempt at organization in this city,
chiefly under the lead of Mr. Pinchback.
But this fact does not satisfy his personal
friends that he is to blame. They believe
the party should be harmonized on the
basis that he is to remain its choice for
United States Senator, while other Repub-
licans think differently. 1t is easy to be seen
that unless this condition of affairs can
be dissipated, either by the withdra avail of
Mr.. Pinchback's pretentions to the SEN
atorship or che withdrawal of the opposi-
ton to his pretentions, there will be no
harmonizing the Republican party in this
parish. 1t needs no deep insight into
political affairs to see this. Providing,
then, the opposition to Mr.. Pinchback's
pretentions will not give way the remedy
to our political dissentions is clearly in
his hands. If the retirement of his pre-
tentions for the time being is necessary to
harmonic the party it clearly becomes
his duty to apply the remedy; and we
have sufficient confidence in him as a
Republican to believe he will do this
whenever he is convinced that the good
of the Republican party demands it.
After electing q temporary president
and secretary and appointing committee
on credentials, the convention adjourned
until tomorrow ct IL n

We publish to-day an interesting article
from gentleman Of St. Louis upon the
"Dynamics of the Mississippi" which
treats the important subject in a clear,
simple and forcible style, which shows the
author to be thoroughly and intimately
acquainted with his subject. His ex-
posure of the fallacy that the current of a
stream is increased by the depth of the
water is not only convincing, but it even
approaches the confines of unnecessary
cruelty. Those who lay themselves open
to such an exposure, however, deserve no
sympathy.

The telegraph informs US that the last
parliamentary election in Wakefield, Eng
land, has been annulled on account Of
bribery. This must be consoing news to
our Fusion. friends, not SO much on &C
count of the annulment of the election as
for the reason that bribery and fraud in
elections are practiced by others as well
as themselves. We have never given the
Democracy Of this State. credit for q
