THE Utica Herald, a Republican Or
gan Of western New York, in an article
on the speakership reaches the conclu-
sion that the real contest is between
Samuel ]. Randall, of Pennsylvania,
and Michael c. Kerr, of Indiana, and
discusses the merits OF these gentlemen
in this way:
Randall is the better parliamentarian; Kerr
has more OF the elements OF a statesman.
Randall has the more rugged health, indis'
pensable in the chair, for brute force must
combine with brains to rule in so large a
body; Kerr studies more into theories, and is
more inclined to pronounce set speeches
Randall has the more genial humor with his
friends, and larger acquaintance with mem
bers; Kerr Is accepted In the country at large
as the broader and better equipped legislator.
Randall favOfs Pennsylvania Tariff; Kerr is
a free-trader. Randall yields TO the demands
OF the south and west about the currency
Kerr is denounced as taking his cue from Wall
street, and Is tor hard money; Kerr was in the
fOrtieth, fOrty-nrSt, and fOIty-Second con-
crosses, but was not IN the last. 1t was in the
last congress that Randall especially distin-
guished himslf in the contest on southern
measures by his adrOitness, his audacity, his
endurance, his prompt seizure of every adj
vantage, during the prolonged parliamentary
war which tried men s nerves and persistence.
Kerr was against the Increase Of congressional
salary, and returned his excess. Randall was
one OF the pluckiest advocates OF the increase
and pocketed his money, but he had msjori
" OF his fellOw-partisans with him. Rand all
has the more skin as politician, the more
Quckness and ability as a presiding officer,
the better knowledge of men. KeTr's election
would be accounted a victory for eastern ideas
and for the New York policy in legislation
ana IN the canvass Of lS76.
We don't believe this last, and have
reason TO know that Mr.. Kerr is so init
mstely identified with the Democrats Of
the west and south as to preclude the
possibility Of his being in any way
leagued with New York or the east.

No Tidings Yet from the City of waco's
Lost PASSENGERS,

GALVESTON, Nov. l0.-Thc steamer
Buckthorn was despatched outside again
at O'Clock this forenoon, in search of the
missing passengers and crew of the City Of
Waco. She will cruise west 60 miles
along the coast. Capt. j. F. Sawyer.
agent of the Mallory line, also started out
on board one of the pilot boats in search
of the missing boats.
The only hopes now entertained for the
safety of the passengers aud crew are
based upon the statement of Capt. Irwin,
of the steamer Buckthorn, who saw d fore
mast while cut yesterday. He reported
that the end of the mast was burnd off, ap-
parently between decks or very close below
the floor of the upper deck; which indi-
Gates that the fire was below or between
decks, in which case she may have been
burning some time, and thus have given
the officers, crew and passengers ample
time to have left the ship before the
flames reached the upper part.
Nothing was discovered wrong with the
unfortunate ship until she appeared wrap
ped in sheet of fame. Nothing has
been seen of her boats or passengers and
crew. The return Of the pilot boat and
steamer, now outside, is anxiously looked
for It is thought that they will be in late

Much alarm was occasioned at the Capi

consequence of the sudden illness of Vice
President Wilson, He had come to his
room, on the senate side of the building, as
usual but not feeling very well he requested
one of the attendants to have warm bath
prepared for him. This was done and
Mr.. Wilson took the bath. He then
went to the barber shop near the bath
room for the purpose of being shaved, and
while IN the BARRIERS chair she was seized
with illness his face becoming very pale
and almost death-like. 1t was thought by
the few persons then present that he had
been attacked by apoplexy and that death
would soon eDsue, and copious applica

and neck. He was sufficiently conscious

Mr., Baxter says the vice president has
been affected with spinal irritation for the
last week or ten days and had complained
of severe pains between his shoulders
The doctor is of opinion that this was not
an attack of either paralysis or appolexy,
but that it was caused by indigestion and
constipation. He apprehends no further
difficulty and says Mr. Wilson can be
safely removed to his quarters at the
Washington House in the afternoon OF
evening.

BLOODY TRAGEDY.
Man Shot by his 3rother-in-Law IN
Williamsburg, Illinois,

Mt. VERNON, Ills, Noy. 8.-A bloody

ming in the village of Williamsburg, II
miles from this city. William K; Murray
shot and killed his brother-in-law, Joel
Woodrome A lawsuit had been pending
between the parties and had engendered
much bad feeling. Yesterday morning
Woodrome made his appearance in the
village furnishing a revolver and declaring
his intention to shoot Murray on sight In
the course of his rounds he met a young
brother of Murray and gave him severe
beating. Still seeking revenge upon the
object Of his serach, he met him at the
hour stated, and, while pushing upon him
with bis drawn weapon, he was shot down
by Murray. Such are the facts as related
by an eye witness, and should they be
sustained ou the preliminary exami nation
will make out clear case of jus tifabie
homicide.
