Terrible Judgment.

The awful calamities and woe that
result from intemperance are wholly
beyond estimate. some months
since moro than 300 souls were lost
by the wreck of tho Schiller in the
English Channel. Judge Nathan
Crosby, Of Lowell, who lost duugh
ter and granddaughter by this dis
aster, in letter to the Globe, writes
thus:
The judgement Of the Court is
"that the entire neglect of the pre-
cautions laid down for navigators
when approaching Scilly was the
sole cause of this terrible calamity"
"Entire neglect" cause"-aw-
full wordel terrible Judgement! 1t
was we'll for the captain that be
shared the fate of his innocent, help
less passengers. Now, why did not
the captain cas-; bis lead and ascer-
tain, as he might have done by
sounding and by his chart, his exact
position after the fog set in, and
under his expectation that he was
very near SciIly? What had made
BIN obvious? " hat had weakened
his care or made him foolhardy2
How were he and his officers de !.
prived of the nautical culture of their
lives? The awful and disgraceful
truth is, there had been a social spree
upon that Inflated ship that afternoon
and evening, which is sufficient TO
account for all the neglect, confusion,
the suffering and loss of life of that
dreadful hour. Mr.. Stern, of New
York, saved passenger, said to the
Herald correspondent: MANY of the
crew and passengers were intoxi-
Gated, one of the officers having cele-
brated his birthday that evening"
One of the Schiler's officers informed
the CORE pendent of the London
| Standard that many persons on
board the steamer were drunk whom
she struck, and that several fremen
and many storage passengers lay
helpless until they were swept away
by the waves" A gentleman lately
in Paris says: "the birthday celobra-
tion isspoken of freely as accounting
for the accident"
"Mr. Stern says, "there was fear
J full state of excitement and confu-
sion on board" of course The noise
and violence of a few drunken men
under the alarm would paralyze the
efforts of the sober and judicious men
who might be trying to aid such
plans of escape as the captain had
ordered, or underofficers had con
ceived available. 1t is said that ar
officer was assigned to each boat, anc
why then was only one of the eight
successfully launched, and why wa
that one allowed to leave the shiI
with only three sailors in it?
There were eight boats capable O
carrying more than 500 persons. ant
yet only three of them reached lant
with fifteen persons only in them
Of the forty-three persons saved
only fifteen passengers are named
while eight officers and twenty 0
the crew were savedl Alasl alas
what practical security does th'
travelling public gain by improves
mechanically the safe guards o
science, by sailing charts, by rule
and reguIations-if the great de
moralizer, social drinking, is allowe'
TO come in and make all valueless?"

Efforts were made to have some form

DlSGRACErUL.

The Ottumwa Democrat, in its bit
ter partisan spirit, makes direct
stab at the city of Ottumwa and its
people, by most shamefully misrepre-
senting the character of the people
who crowded the North Missouri
Depot and vicinity, on Tuesday even
ing, TO get a sight of President Grant
and party. The reader abroad, would
be led to believe that II was a rabble
that assembled there, and so il is
aimed to disgrace our city. The SIM
pie facts are, that with but a single
exception, or with not more than two
exceptions, the crowd were peace
able, and treated the President with
respect. True, there was much crowd
ing, as there always is on such occa-
sions, growing out Of a desire to get
glimpse Of the beloved and distin-
guished man, and feeling that the
stay Of the President might be so brief
that they would not get an opportun-
ity to see him.
The train had been delayed two
hours, owing to some repairs being
made on the road, and i'm consequence
the arrival of the party here was at a
very late hour. Then witness the low
flung manner i'm which the Democrat
speaks of the President. 1t says: "EIis
features have about as much ex-
"pression as piece of dough, and
"his manner, while shaking hands
"witht the noisy crowd, was that of an
: automaton in side-show. He spoke
"bnt a few words asked the popula-
"tion Of Ottumwa, and when told
"that ii was about ten thousand, gave

Radical stumpers are advertised
everywhere, but from the reports that

How these Democratic organs do
dislike to hear about their treason
bankrnpting the South and burden
ing the nation with its enormous debt.
They think. this story should be
placed among the by-gones, but that
they should be permitted to herald
throughout the length and breadth of
.ne land their falsehoods as to Repub-
mean corruption. This is all legiti-
mate on their part. They are free to
roam back indefinitely to increase
their batch Of falsehoods against Re-
publican candidates. II does apnear
to us that It is highly proper to show
what men have done for the country
when they claim that the pconio
should again place them in power. II
does seem to us that the deeds Of the
Democracy of the south, that are now
daily transpiring, and which are
winked at by their allies Of the North,
show plainly that the party is no bet.
