Lose of the Ship Champlain-Tho Captain
and n Sailor Drowned.

Lose of the Ship Champlain-Thc Captain
and n Sailor DroWned.
SAN Francisco, June l8.-The ship Cham.
plain, from New York hither, was lost.
Captain Merrill and q sailor were drowned.
The ship Champlain, which was last night
on North Farallone island, had been off the
Heads three days in a dense fog. During
that time no observations were obtained.
The captain supposed he was in the vicinity
of Point Keys. The fog was so thick that
the rocks could not be seen until she
struck. At first che struck lightly at
the stern and then grounded on the grounds
her whole length. She knocked the bottom
out when she floated Oft, filled rapidly and
sunk in a few moments. The crew had
scarcely time to got into the boats. Captain
Merrill was the last man to leave the ship,
and in getting into a boat over the bows
was struck by a martingale and killed. The
seaman who was lost-a German-was
crushed before leaving the ship. The crew
saved nothing but few articles of cloth
ing. Shortly after the leaving the fog arose.
when the crew sighted the schooner Men
docinO and were taken on board.

ORLEANS SATURDAY, WIZ

Is too plainly apparent. He has wantoniy
ignored facts easily procured, if desired,
and in their stead placed before the public
a series of misrepresentation and willfully
perveI ted statements of a matter asit really
exists. and held high carnival at the expense
Of truth and principle.
He has persistentlv refused, for reasons
best known TO himself, to he guided by
truth, justice or honesty of purpose; but, to
the contrary, he has employed his pen in
the dissemination of q series OF letters.
more remarkable for their partisan, untrue
contents than for the real information
which he pretends to give those who may
read them.
In conclusion. your correspondent has not
only outraged the officials of this State and
its statutory laws, but, in addition thereto,
he has outraged the real meaning of the
word imperialism" Webster defines this
word as meaning ''the power. authority or
character of an emperor" Worcester de.
fines it as :'pertaining to monarchy, regal.
possessing supremacy, supreme" Charles
Nordhoff defines it as ''weakness" and
''lacEing of the iron grip needed to
bring REFORM" He not only does this,
but labors through an entire column to
prove that Governor Kellogg has no power
at all. The argument is worthy of the pen
and brain from which it emanated, and is
as truthful in one respect as it is in the
other. If imperialism is spreading in Lou
isiaua, it is through tie medium of such
correspondents as Charles Nordhoff. and by
such arguments as are used in his peculiar
letters to your journal.
The simple facts in the case are that your
readers in the North know little of Louisi-
ana affairs, and Charles Nordhotf. al.
though in the South, knows less.

Court Items.

1t has taken two days to empanel jury
in the Alex. Newton case, indicted for
killing Justin Bourdounay. The regular
panel was soon exhausted and 300 talesmen
summoned by thc sheriff. The ingenuity
of counsel was taxed to the utmost, and
succeeded in many cases. Some gentlemen
were too anxious to serve. but these were
rare, the majority trusting to almost any
display Of incompetency to get excused.
Tbs defense was of course not anxious for
gentlemen who had mot bit" Of scruple
against inflicting capita! punishment, or
those who, having once formed an opinion.
were certain their verdict would not be
controlled by il, but be given solely on the
evidence presented. On the other side
Attorney General Field had his doubts Of
Of tho competency Of the gentleman who
objected TO capital punishment only in self.

unfit for a juror who had never heard of
the case, never read Of it or heard it talked
about. but was of the opinion the prisoner
was not guilty and would acquis him. no
matter what tho evidence was.
One gentleman, after deliberatioh, stated
his opinion to be that if man killed
another in cold blood he ought to be sent to
the Penitentiary or somewhere. He may
have meant Texas. but was rejected. One
thought capital punishment was to be sent
to the Penitentiary for life or hung, and he
objected to it. His objection excused him.
Another objected to hanging a man but
qualified it by saying. swell. you see, il he
ought to be, you see-then you see, should
think that he ought to be-" At quarter of
one the States peremptory challenges were
exhausted, and the defense had only two
remaining. but = jury was not obtained till
four o'clock.
One talesman, II. Schwartz By name. not
appearing was attached and excused for
his contempt by the statement that it was
his nephew who was the one summoned
This young man spoke only German, but
having no excuse for non attendance was
fined $40. Subsequently it was shown to
the court that II. Schwartz was the tales.

brought him to the bar once more. The ex-
pense Of his want of veracity was 425, with
the privilege of remaining ten days in tho
