Mr. Daua's Letter.

The following is the full text of Mr.. Dana's
letter to Senator Boutwell,, declining to argue
his case before the Senate Foreign Committee:
BOSTON, March 16, 1876.
To the Hon. George s. Boutwell,
Dear Sir When L first heard that charges
were to be made against me before the COM
mittee, my impulse was to demand a hearing,
and asked you to do So but in my telegram
of the 14th said that if the question was upon
my general fitness had nothing to say, but
could not believe that committee would listen
to charges affecting my honor from antagonists
and decide adversely to me without offering
opportunity of explanation. was careful not
to ask for a hearing, but only to express my
belief that no committee would act adversely
to me on an eI pGTte hearing. l did not then
knowlwhat4the committee had done, but only
heard rumors that they had hesrd, or intendeo
to hear, my antagonists. .,...u-
for the first time. l learn that the committee
did give secret e1 parte hearing to two men
known to be my enemies, and, on that nearing
alone, came to an adverse decision and acted
upon it. They had 30 intention OF seeking
information from me or my friends They
committed themselves to that decision, and re-
quested the President to withdraw my nomina-
ton, with the understanding that if he did not
they should report adversely. L understand
that it is only upon the urgent request OF per.
sons entitled to their attention, who have SET
before them the unfairness of their acti0n tnat
they have consented to let the matter lie over
until Tuesday, that may be heard, III WISH 10
be. The committee has never addressed, OUT
only made it known to others that may ap'
pear before them if desire to. ! understand,
further. that the objections made before the
committee partly related to party politics, but
mainly, perhaps, to charges made by my an
tagonist in private civil action.
I trust, my dear Mr. Boutwell,, that you
know me well enough to know that Shall not
ask 10 be heard before the committee under
such circumstances. l value highly the honor
of the office rendered to me, and am grateful to
the government for the distinguished compli-
ment. When 1 saw the surprising unanlmity,
and 1 may even say enthusiasm, with which it
was received by the press and the public, al
together the most gratifying thing. l ever ex-
perienced. L will say to you frankly that it
removed every doubt arising out of my private
circumstances, and that determined to accept
the office. But there is nothing in the gift OF
the government which would induce me to go
to Washington and submit a question touching
my honor to a committee which has taken the
course which has been taken by the Senate
committee Of Foreign Relations.
do not wish my nomination Withdrawn.
Under the circumstances 1t will not be with
drawn with my consent. If the Senate eject
1t under the present circumstance, l trust L
shall lot fail of the grace to submit with equa-
nimitv. You may make what use OF this letter
you think judicious.
Yours very truly

A MAINE BRIG SUNK.
The Captain and Wife Drowned.

New YORK, March 20.-The vessel sunk off
schooner Adelaide j. Alcost was the brig
Frank Clark, belonging to Maine She was
bound from st. Thomas to New York with
cargo and is a total loss. She went down IN SIX
fathoms of water, carrying to the bottom Oapt'
Samuel Morton and wife, who were below, also
the first. mate Simpson. All the others on
board escaped. The story OF the couisloh as
told BY Charles c. Wehrum and CHARLES w.
Alcott the owners of the schooner, is as fol-
lows:
The Alcott was bound for Virginia Light un-
der two reefed foresail and spanker, running
before heavy squall in southeast direction
along the beach. The sunken vessel, the sur.
vivors say, was running in about northeast
direction. The lookout on the Alcott saw the
red light of the brig. Suddenly the brig
changed her course, turning directly toward the
shore end showing her green light, when only
about one hundred yards away. The captain
OF TIE A!cott, who was at the wheel, immedi-
ately steered off to clear the brig, but snow
squall of considerable violence struck the brig
little aft of the forward rigging. In twenty
minutes the brig sank bow foremost, her stern
remaining above water all night. The brig
was in charge of the second mate. The cap
tain, his wife, and the first mate were below,
and were the only persons drowned. Two chill
dren were also below but were rescued with the
crew.
The schooner remained fast in the gap in the
side of the brig all night, so the saved persons
scrambled ON board and no boats had to be
lowered. The Alcott belonged in New York
and is not materially damaged. The persons
saved are as follows:
James O'Neil, second mate; VIM. Regain,
steward; the two children, who were adopt ed
children of the captain, and the crew, Charles
johnson, John Hovy, James Connolly, John
Reid, and James Orr.
The survivors OF the brig complain bitterly
Of the conduct of the captain and crew of the
schooner who could, they think, have rescued
the persons who were lost. The crew were
taken this morning to the seaman's home in
Cherry street., The children will be cared for
by Mr.. Metcalf.
The Frank Clark was built in 1868 at Dam
ariscotta, Me-, where she was owned by Mos
ris & Co. II is said an interest in her was also
| owned by Capt. Morton. Capt. Morton lived
| in Damariscotta, Me. He was an experienced
| sea captain and highly esteemed. He was
| probably drowned on account of efforts to save
| his wife and because of his great weight
Schooner Ashore.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Signal Service
observer at Sandy Hook reports two.masted
| schooner ashore at 4.30 p. M. two miles and a
half south of the station. She is supposed to
| be loaded with coal. The fate of the crew is
| unknown. One man was in the main rigging.
| A life boat started for the wreck at 7.30 p. m.
A terrific gale was blowing, accompanied by
| snow.
