The Fate Oh Three IfaI Il =.

ASHORE AT THR AUCKLAND IeI.ASDs BOARDED AT
NIGHT BY cANSIBALs-oSLY ONE SURVIVOR.
Capt. Brewer returned to Boston, day or 30
ago, from trip around tho world. He brought
with him information OF the Boston barks Jtao-
ess and BoStoa and al English bark which sailed
from New South Wales in the direction OF the
Auckland Island, year ago last February and
from which no tdngs have been received. AT
one OF the ports at which lie stopped he had
fallen i'll with a sailor, or some one who knew
him, who purported to DO the solo survivor OF
the three crews.
The vessels, he said, had become bocalmed in
tho vicinity of the Aucklan. Islands, and laid
there together several days. They were board
ed at night by canuibals who came in large
numbers, overpowered the crews, plundered tile
ships, and scnttled them. The men were car
rIed prisoners to the shore, and furnished food
for horrible feast Of their captors. No par
tcnlars OF the fight, or Of the survivors eac .pe,
were obtained, but the facts are pretty ? all-
Intoxicated, and the long absence Of Il 'ses
furnishes good ground for believlne o. the
story may be true.
The survivor waH one of tho crew OF tllu Jew
ess, and he is said TO have related that the sur
pIire was complete, tho vessels being some dir
tance from land, und no signs Of onemies hav-
ing been secn. The usual precaution,
taken when ship il becalmed in
the vicinity OF land inhabited by sava-
ges, is to drive sharp nails, placed
closely together, through boards which are
placed over the decks and fastened firmly down,
leaving the sharp iron points sticking mp. 1t IL
step upon the deck, and they are shot off at lei
sure. This precaution was not taken OH board
the Jewess the survivor said, because no danger
was stnpected.

THE HARD MONEY MEN MUST UNITE ON A
PLAN

The remark OF the Chicago Tribune that the
friends Of harl-money must agree upon pro-
grAmme is a very trne one. This waa the need
felt IA the OHIO CANVASS; while the inilationzts
proposed certain definite measures, their oppo-
uent= we're not ready tp say exactly what they
wonld propose. But the people want come de-
hnite solution Of what is admitted to be prob
lem. The financial situation does not satisfy
them, and they desire to know OF the different
statesmen and political leaders exactly what
road they would take out Of it.
The law OF the last Congress- fixing the lst OF
January, 1879, AS the time for resumption, and
providing the means by which the Treasury may
resume, presents definite plan of proceeding,
but the trouble il that there are those amongst
the opponents Of imitation who seem unwilling
70 look forward over the route II lays down. To
some the time il too short, though any greater
delay certainly seems unreasonable, while others
apparently are unable to controvert the pre-.
tense OF the iniiatiohi-ts that to reach resump.
ton as proposed will cause general financial
disress. This, we believe. is only pretense
aud we have steadily combatted the idea. SO
long as no other aud better plan il laid down, we
think it the manifest need OF tho situation to ad-
here strcnuonsly to the 70 Resumption Act. II
1t appears imperfect, it can be amended any
plan that eau be suggested will be assaied aud
criticised; and it is absolutely necessary that
there should be unity amongst those who
rec honor, safety, and prosperity in restoring
The specie basis. II they do not stand together,
The nhationists will beat them.
