New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1876-04-18

The Emperor of Brazil is now on his way
to San Francisco. His last day in the city
was very busy one. A visit to the wharves'
an inspection of two schools, walk through
the wards of st. Luke's Hospital and Bellevue,
and an informal reception were the principai
features. He has gone about the city quietly,
paying his own bills and doing what he
pleased, and he has left behind him the i'm
preston that he is an intelligent and sensible
traveller as well as an enlightened monarch.

Mrs. Sinclair has informed us that she
neither has now nor ever has had any com
plant to make against Mr.. Charles OConor,
and has expressed to us very earnest
desire to be kept out of any controversy on
the subject. We do not, therefore, see
the occasion for the long letter her brother
in-law, Mr.. Henry Sedley, has adj
dressed us in reply to Mr.. OConors
convincing and conclusive statement. We
print elsewhere, however, its salient features.
Mr.. Sedley insists that various gentlemen did
get the idea during the suits that Mr..
OCOnOr's services were rendered gratuitously,
and he names several of them. But unfortu-
nately they are dead Mr.. Sedley himself
is an excellent and amiable gentleman,
out it will take more than appeals to
the cemeteries to convince the public that one
of our purest and noblest men has not been
brutally traduced.

Kibourn is to be surrendered. After a
protracted debate in the House the Republi-
cara and Conservative Democrats joined hands
against the Bourbons, and settled the question
by a vote of two to one. Cautious Democrats
were unwilling to place their party in the at
titude of ordering a suspension OF the writ OF
habeas corpus in time of peace. There was
more at stake in this controversy than party
consistency. The power of either branch of
Congress to punish recalcitrant witnesses for

The impeachment trial opens very tamely.
Ex-secretary Belknap appeared at the bar OF
the Senate, and his counsel entered plea
against the jurisdiction of the court on the
grounds which Mr.. Brooks Adams has already
ably presented in our columns. The managers
asked for time, and all adjournment for forty
eight hours was ordered. These unimpressive
proceedings were in striking contrast with the
memorable scenes with which the impeachment
of President Johnson opened in 1868.

An index has just been prepared for the
ten first volumes of Scribner's Monthly. II
is stated in the preface that the Illustrations
of these ten volumes have cost the magazine
nearly one hundred thousand dollars, and
that a very much larger sum has been paid
for literary contributions and editorial work.
More than one hundred and twenty five
thousand dollars were paid to the printers,
ard nearly quarter of a million for paper.
These volumes contain two thousand, seven
hundred and forty five engrayings, or an
average of $50 per annum. One hundred
and thirty-three stories, long aud short, have
appeared; and from these, and from essays
and other material, have already been pub
lished fifteen books, while others are in
course of preparation.

w lille the seven propellers were
lying in the ice in the lake, many of
the passengers, becoming impatient,
walked ashore on the ice. Some
of them had pretty tough time,
and many who started, after get
ting two or three miles from their
boat, would return, completely ex-
hausted. One party of seven,
among whom was one of the mates
of the boat, left the propeller On
tario-which was ice-bound about
midway between the two shores of
the lake, and consequently from
ten TO fifteen miles from the shore
at ! o'clock Monday afternoon,
and did not reach the shore until
during Tuesday night, having walk
ed for over fourteen hours, aud be-
pretty well played out. The ice,
be it understood, is not solid, in
some places there bei.g open
spaces, and in other places the ice
being piled up in ridges, layer upon
layer, like bed of rock, and ex-
tending down into the water some
fifteen or twenty feet. The mode
OF travel was to follow these ridges,
and this it was that took them so
long to reach the shore, as they
were forced to wind in and out in a
very devious manner. The party
were provided with boards, and
when they came to a place that
looked doubtful, they would bridge
it over and thus pass safely over.
Sometimes, while walking a man
would suddenly fall through up t.
his arm pits, and being warm anC
sweaty from rapid walking, as he
soused into the icc-cold water
it wonll nearly drive the breath on
of his body. Another party Of
eleven, ali Frenchmen, Of whicl
there were 200 on board, left tht
Ontario, and were obliged to spenc
one night on the ice, not being able
get ashore. One of this party
froza his hands slightly, and also
one Of his toes. Altogether, some
thirty or forty got ashore from the
various boats, the minority OF them
landing near the mouth OF Lester
River, six miles down the north
shore. Most OF the men were sup

other than the thanks of the men.
The men all speak in great praise
of the kindness OF Mrs. S.
