THE TERROR or THE OCEAN.

The worst feature Of the loss Of the
Schiller is that it resulted from cause
which is ever existent, and for which
there is no remedy. Fog cannot be
seen through with human eyes, and IL
cannot be upliitcd or removed by
human means Every steamship that
crosses the ocean is liable to run for
hours, and for days in a fog so dense
that an approaching vessel could not
be seen in time to avoid a collision
and when nearing the shore n like risk
is run in regard TO rocks and breakers.
This is n danger attendant upon the
great increase in the rapidity of transit,
which science and art have not, as vet,
found any means TO avert li
To run slower in a fog might dimin-
ish the danger somewhat; but to be
effective, in any considerable degree, il
would have to be adopted by all the
lines, going both ways. And even
then the travelling public would not
tolerate il. People win incur any
amount Of risk OF going TO destruction
rather than not TO 20 fast.
There seems TO benothing done toward
diminishing the chances Of being sunk
at sea In q fog except the provision Of
more ample means Of escape These
do not appear to have been what they
should have been on board the Schiller.
Her captain acted the part Of a brave
and gallant seaman, and perished in
an effort 20 rescue some of his passen.
gers. But why were not better ap.
pliancosior such an emergency supplied
by the owners of the ship? II Is of no
use to argue that they were sufficient :
If they had been. no such loss Of life
could have occurred When we say
that the steamer was commanded by
n competent captain, and that two
hundred and iorty.two lives were lost,
we settle the point that the life-saving
apparatus was not what should have
been found on board such vessel.
When n few steamship owners shall
have been sent 10 the State Prison for
manslaughtcr, ocean travel may be.
come safer.

WE SAY INVESTIGATE

The Valley SPIRIT very properly calls
upon Auditor General Temple to
sound the bugle notes for the advance
upon the Treasury Department TO in.
vestigate "thc ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain" about that estab.
lishment. 1t seems to us very ex.
traordinary thing, that the way the
peoples money is managed, and what
is done with it, is religiously kept from
the people. No man knows to-day
the secrets of the State Treasury nei-
ther does any one know how much
money is in its vaults or the amount
of securities il holds. The belief that
il is coiruptly administered, and that
the public funds are used for all man
ner of private speculation, is so gener-
al that the public are ready to believe
the most outrageous stories. The
truth, il we can ever get at it, will be
bad enough the plain unvarnished
story will shock the honest men of both
parties, 50 that there will be no neces-

oURIoslr1Es or THE la W.


Thckent county, Del superior Court
has leen engaged all this week with :
very important case. Under the law,
Of Delaware the property Of Il wife
who dies without issue descends moi
TO her husband, but TO those of hei
own blood. Ten years ago Henry
Stout, a wealthy Dover lawyer, died
leaving his property TO his three chill
dren. Five years ago his only daught
er married the Rev. r. N. Hall, Of
Lewes, and year after she died in
giving birth TO her first child. The
latter, il was claimed by the father
lived for few minutes after being de,
livered, but Mrs. Halls brother denied
If the babe brcathed for single sec.
ond after birth then the mothers prop
ty descended 10 her husband. If il
was dead when delivered, however, the
mother died without issue and the
property descended to her brother.
To settle the question the brothers
brought suit for the property, and the
case occupied the attention of the
court the entire week. For the Plain.
tifis Senator Salisbury and ex-senator
Comegys appeared, and the Defendant
was represented by ex-Judge Layton,
ex-Congressman Smithcrs and Edward
Ridgely, Esq. The first witness called
was Dr. George Goodell, who attended

November he surprised Gen, Gillcn
near Morristown, Tenn, and utterly
routed him. About February, 1865,
Gen. breckenridge, who was then q
Major General, was selected to succeed
Mr. Sheldon rs Secretary of war in
the confederate cabinet. In tins posi-
tion he acted with vigor, and displayed
great resources in reinforcing the
army and furnishing it with supplies.
He remained at his post until the over
throw Of the confederacy, when he es-
capped to England He resided there
and in Canada until ho could return
unmolested lie was never, however,
relieved from his disabilities. fn
He returned TO his native State in
1868, whore he has since lived apart
from politics, He was n wise coun-
scllor in peace and labored by wcrd
and example to bury the animosities
cngcndered by the war Much of the
good feeling now prevailing between
the North and soutl, Is owing TO Gen.
Breckenridge. d0 Hi' lah.
lie gave expression TO this sentiment
at a meeting in Louisville, in October,
1870, called TO honor TO the memory
of Gen. Lee. 1t was meeting of all
parties, and he said: alf the spirit
which animates the assembly before
me tonight shall become general and
extend over the whole country, then
indeed may we say that the wounds
of the late war are truly healed. We
ask only for him what we concede to
the manly qalities OF others. Among
the more eminent federal generals who
fell during the war or who have since
died may be mentioned Thomas and
Mcpherson. What confederate would
refuse to raise bis cap as their funeral
train passed by, or grudge TO drop .
flower upon their soldier graves?"
Mr. Brcckinridg had better opinion
of the North than most southern lead
ers. In Picrces time he said at din
ner table in reply TO the raillery of Mr..
Kcitt, ofSouth Carolina, that he "would
advise his young friend here to invite
some OF his constituents, before under
taking the war upon tour through
the North, il only for the purpose OF
teaching them what an almighty big
country they will have TO whip before
they get through.
The last event OF his life was the
visit Of Vice President Wilson to his
home at Lexington, and the mutual
kindnesses of that interview will be
long remembered by the American
people when the name of Brcckinridge
is mentioned. He was truly a repre-
sentative man Of his time and his sec
ton, and his early death only serves to
give prominence to the distinction he
had attained. 4

THE LSTHMUs CANAL.

Inc tnited states lslhmus Exploring
Expedition has returned TO Colon, and
reports that its labors were eminently
successful IN running a line for shin
canal across the lsthmus of Darien,
There are now three routes designated
for passing ships from ocean TO ocean,
and all of them have their advantages
The most northern route Is the
Tehuantepec, themiddle the Nicaragua,
and tho southern oroesas the Istbmus
of Darien. From one Of these loca-
tions engineer declare that u practicable
path can be chosen to shorten the dis.
tance from ports on this continent to
those of Asia. AT the present time all
ships starting from the eastern side Of
North or South America have to pass
far south around Cape Horn before
they can run either north for ports
along the coast or start sheets for
islandsin the Pacific or points in Japan,
China on other parts of Asia This is
a ruinous waste Of time, especially
when the Cape of Good Hope has been
practically blotted off the nautical
charts by the Suez canal, which is
now in working order. In short
time all the facts in relation TO the
three projected routes will be laid be.
fore the country in an official shape,
and the next Congress may be asked
to take some steps in regard 10 the
matter. That canal can be cut from
ocean TO ocean is conceded. The opin-
ions of engineers settle tina. point Of
course, there arc impediments Of no
trihing character in the way, but they
can be removed by the hand of science.
The Suez canal has been constructed
there is a tunnel beneath the Alps the
tclegraphic cable speaks with amost
miraculous organs from under faith
oms Of deep sea waves. In a few
years il is expected that cars will be
speeding from France to England with
a depth of water above them sufficient
to float the largest man-ofwar. II
