The Rev. B. J. IVES labors under a mistake.
Wine Is served on the White House table every
day, and President GRANT always mas some
mellow old whiskey for his particular cronies.
Moreover. he ndulges bimself 10 adrunken spree

doubt that Mr. Ives means to tell the truth, but

LAND OF terminal negligence" But IL IL hardly
likely that either tho gallant Colonel OF the
Staten Island jurors have very accurate notions
as to Just what degree Of negligence the law
holds to be criminal. No one has for nome Mt
supposed that there was design on the part OF
Capt. ROWLAND to cause the death Of Commo-
dors GARNER and his companions.
The incompstency Of the sailing master seems
TO have been marked as to attract the atten-
tion Of nearly every one except Commodore
GARNER himself. This seems to us the greatest
mystery In the whole matter, how such man
should have employed such a Captain. Mr..
GARNER was accounted an uncommOnly smart
business man ; he hal devoted great part of
the past Ave years to Yachting had been Vice
President Of the Yacht Cub. and would bave
been supposed by every one qualified to select a
good Captain and crew. IL, by an oversight In
this respect he imperilled and lost other lives,
he sacrificed his owo also; and SO far a. he Ia
concerned the voice even OF unwilling censurs

TELEGRAPHIc RESUME.

ate Committee on Raili Dads.
The publications predicting the
carly resignation of Secretary Biis

the fact that the President showed
great feeling at statement in Ger
tain papers that Henderson had
testified that Bristow had written
him letters rejecting upon the

count, bat should remain in Ken

ready to return.
Joe HARRISON, the colored Con
gresham from Alabama, denies
that the President expressed to him
his preference for Conkling. He

Iogi~tic terms of .Conkiing, Blaine

Colonel Singleton, we see, from

Colonel is still fighting for rctrench

that class who believe that any one
man has a life estate in an office,
that the Office belongs to him, but
we do believe that such men as
Colonel Singleton are public prop
erty and belong to the people who
have the offices to bestow, and
this being the case, are satisfied
that he will find himself in Con

Ex-Governor Seymour on Governor Tilaan

Mr. Seymour am in no way
engaged in the work Of President
making, but if at the proper time it
should be cxpcdient to nominate
Mr.. Tilden, it would give me great
pleasure to support him fox that or
any other position. In the mean
time the Governor is more anxious
to succeed in his reforms than Tor
his personal advancement. His
failure in these respects would no:
only be an injury to him, bat ca
lamity to the state and patton. Gov.
Tilden has been made prominent
by events in this state, an'i by bis
efforts to check abuses. The p O
pie turn eagerly toward amy one
who tries to lift off the weight OF
taxation and correct abuses OF adj
ministration. He has been ap-
plauded throughout the country.
