CAPTAIN A. y. SEMNEs. 1t was stated II
yesterdays G:zcttc that Capt. n. y. Scmmes
OF the u. S. n, formerly resident Of lll
city, was to BE- courtmartlaIcl Tor cruelty t
the crew Of his vessel, the Alaska. The lJ;loT
ing are further particulars:
"Iho United States sloop ot~ar Alaska, un
der Commander Alexander \ ScmmcS, ar
rived at the brooklyn Navy Yard FROM the
European station on Tuesday, and excitement
was mad. 10 Official circles over orders ION
the Secretary of the Navy directing that
Sammes be courtmarliacd for incompetency il
runuing bis vessel ashore aud for cruelty tC
the crew.
AFTER the Court Of Inquiry had convened
oa Wednesday it was a>carta'ned that while
on her way to New \ ork The Alaska ran ashore
off Nantucket shoals, where she laid forty
eight hours withou. being able to get off, firing
10 the coulsc Of that time forty guns as signals
oil distress. After getting off she ran ashore at
Martha's Vineyard. 1t was also said that
Commander Semmes practiced great cruelty to
the crew. He is charged with drilling the crew
very severely in the hot sun, and with shorten.
log tn, mems ratons to such an extent as to
almost provoke mu'lny. In fear Of one,
guards were stationed at the guns night aul
day TO prevent their being spiked. The CON-
mandcr reported the surgeon to the Secretary
of the Navy for drunkenness and by the same
mail the surgeon, NJ. Bradley, reported the
command r to Secretary Robson for iusocrce,
cruelty and incompcteucy. The marine officer
90 board also reported to the Secretary Of the
Navy tina! the vessel was in fearful condition.
This is not the first time that Commander
Semmcs has been courtmartialcd on the same
charge; in October, 1871, he was tried while in
command Of the Portsmouth for inaicIing crnel
and unlawful punishment on persons under his
command; Tor abuse Of his official power, and
for opprcs i've and nhuman conduct unbecom-
ing an officer Of each Of these charges he
was found guilty, and the court sentenced him
to three gears suspension from duty and rank,
and to be reprimaudcd by the Secretary Of the
Navy Through some influence the sentence
was not carried out, he being put 10 command
of the Portsmouth shortly after his trial. ;"
The product OF the Cumberland coal region
for the week ending September %, was II 424
tons; for the year to that date l.27S Coz tons,
q decrease Of 42S C54 tons as compared with q
period Of last year. The shin
lneuts TO the canal for The week were 1916
tons; for the year 4j2 Csc tons, decrease OF
lSG &C tons as compared with 1915. The
shipments by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
show decrease of POS l2j tons, and By the
Pennsylvania Railroad Of sc. 19l tons as con-
pared with last year.

We have lately seen il stated n >-inc IT the
radical newspapers THAT delegation oi demo
c1ats from West Virginia applied 70 the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, at Ms ! ork,
for money, with whlcH 10 Prosecute the cam
paisn 10 their State, anl had ben refused.
We do 10! know mhcIll2: the statement be
true or falsc-sc are iucncd to believe it III
corrccr, for ", u,u't tt!irk auy sort Of fic-
giDians west or east, would have made such au
application, but if thcy did We arc glad they
were refused. The introduction OF money into
politics ia this country is said to have been in
auguracd by that great high priest Of radical.
ism, the late Thaddeus Stevens, and, like all
other vices, i, has increased with such fecuniity
that it has almost choked the spring OF pure
political sentiment. and entirely corrupted the
purity Of elections; aad it Gov. Tildcn has
instructed the National Democratic Executive
Committee to refuse all applications Tor money
with which to buy votes, it is another reason
why ali who wish for the retura of the good
Old days OF the Republic should support him.
