oxygen into his lungs, but with the first frost

assert that not one in one thousand of the sleep

on these frosty nights. The churches, and
those, too, frequented by cultivated, refined
men and women are often merely ornaiaented,

TILE WHY

It would be gross injustice either to the gal
liant and unfortunate sailors who have lost
their lives in the Huron, or to the superior au-
thorities, perhaps almost equally unfortunate
who sent them out into the stormy sea in an
unfit vessel, to pronounce an opinion as to the
cause of the Kitty Hawk disaster until the full
est possible details have been received from
the survivors of the wreck, and the officers in
command at Norfolk. At present we only
know that ship, certainly not of the best
class, began a voyage along one of the most
dangerous parts of our coast while severe
storm was raging, the barometer falling, and the
signal service announcing danger that there
was no necessity for taking such a risk, the
voyage being merely one of survey and that
as a consequence of this gratmtious tempting
of the elements, hundred brave men have
been wantOnly sacrificed. A court of inquiry
will bring out all the facts in due time, and
place the responsibility where it belongs; in
the meantime, however, there are some cOnsid-
eiations which the calamity ought to impress
upon Congress and the country.
The Huron was a new vessel, having been
constructed only two or three years ago, and
it is represented at the Navy Department that
size was well equipped, and her engines were
in excellent order 1t is no secret, however,
that experienced officers in the service enter
tanned a profound distrust of her, believing
that she was too weak for manOf-war, i'm
properly designed, and ill-built. That there
was some ground for their apprehension is
nlaln enough from the fact that two years after
leaving the contractors hands, her foremost
WAS found to be rotten, and had to be replaced,
and that like most of the older vessels IN the
navy, she has spent large part of her career I'M
derroing repairs She was one OF the new slOOps-
of-war built by contract and naval officers
sometimes have an unreasonable prejudice
against ships-Of-war constructed in private
wards. The facts in her history, however,
speak for themselves. A good ship, meeting
with only the ordinary viclssitudes Of a peace
| ful cruise, does not need new masts, new
screw, and various other repairs, at the age of
two years 1t is only a few months since one
of orr naval vessels, ordered home from the
| Cane of Good Hope, left all her guns
/ TO be forwarded as freight by merchant
| shin, because she was not strong enough
TO carry them. There are vessels on
/ the navy list that are always under re-
pair. There are many more so bad
/ That repairing them Is ""s'o VI hioh'y
/ When the Virginius case warned us to prepare
| for war. it was discovered that with an annual
naval expenditure of over $20OOO,0OO we
/ had no navy. Enormous sums OF money were
| squaudere1 on contractors, or disappeared in
WAYS which committees have not yet succeeded
| in exploring, and all we had to show for the
outlay was a lot of unfinished hulks, upon
which successive generations of voters had
made work at election time, and beggarly

THE STORM ON THE CO1ST.

Violent as was the storm of wind and ram
that visited this city on Saturday night, there
is little damage to record in this vicinity.
Due preparations had been made, so far
as practicable, to meet the rough visitor.
Without such precautions we should
doubtless. have had considerable list
of loss and damage to the shipping
in our harbor. There had been, indeed,
cloudy and threatening sky for two or three
days previous, but the very fact that no
rain had fallen after so much menace,
might have led many people to dismiss their
apprehenSions. Most of our citizens had
become tired of carrying useless umbrellas IN
the windy, dusty streets. Nor would the sea-
farng men who watch the weather-glas have
been much impressed by Its exhibitions. The
barometer had previously shown very
high record this had given place to an eX-
ccedingly slow and measured decline, but
there was little in the movement or position
of the mercury to attract attention. But all
day Saturday the Signal Service flag of danger
had been flying Orr shipmasters have in
general learned the value of that warning,
and they made their preparations accordingly.
To great extent, also, the danger was an
ticipated and provided against elsewhere
along our coast. The prospect of rapid
rise in the Virginia rivers was tele-
graphed sufficiently in advance, and at Rich
mond, Danvile and other places all movable
goods in exposed positions were carried
beforehand ont of reach of high water. The
predictions of rise in different rivers are,
comparatively, a recent addition to the Signal
Service reports, and have already proved of
notable service in many instances.
The terrible wreck of the Huron, with the
loss of life Of so large proportion OF her
officers and crew, and, in addition, Of nine
of the brave men of the life-saving service
who attempted to give aid, must ever make
last Saturdays storm sadly memorable. Bat
other lives may be saved by the sac
rifce of those, if that awful disaster
shall impress upon the commanders Of our YES
sells the extreme danger that even a navy
steamship. with an abundant crew, may run
when the storm warnings of the Signal Ser
vice are dsregardcd. 1t sometimes happens, Of
course that those signals are mistakenly dis
played. Many a shipmaster, chatting impatiently
at the delay, and confident of the strength Of
his vessel, has felt sOrely tempted to take the
risk when the red flag is flying, and venture
out to sea. The fate of the Huron illustrates
the extent Of that risk.

Within few days the silver question has
entered upon new phase. The remOnetZa-
tom.ts may see no change, but the problem,
which has always been one of fact, now in
wolves new and very important facts. ImpOr-
tant information has come as to the sale Of
silver by Germany. a new body of ore is said
to have been discovered in Nevada. Deposits
believed to be of marvellous richness have
been opened in Peru. The rapid fall of silver
from % to II pence per ounce was heraded
by brief announcements not more important
than have appeared within the past few days
The news from Germany is favorable on the
whole to those who expect n recovery in the
price of silver. The London Economist in an
elaborate review of the latest information,
shows that Germany had shipped to England
BIB, 200, 600 in silver since the recOinage be-
gan that about $12,500,000 had also been
exported from Germany directly to the East
and that about 800, 800, 600 had been used in
new coinage, and retained in Germany. Thus
about 100000 was accounted for, of
$225, 200, 900 withdrawn from circulation at
the end of September; and if the whole amount
disposable in Germany before demOnetzation
was 1895, OOO, 900, as Mr.. Goschens COM
mittee thought possible, there would
remain less than $7O,OOO,OOO for export,
and Of this some portion has been moved
within the current month, though the sales
involved a quick decline in price. The Econ
on,ist therefore reasons that the supplies from
Germany are " shown to be approaching ex-
"hausti0n." But the quantity reported as posi-
bly, remaining is still nearly as much as all
the minis of this country could coin in three
years. 1t Is shown, also, that the decline of
price has been checked by the purchase and
coinage by the United States of nearly
500, 100000 since Germany began reconage,
and nearly $29,000,000 during the last year
alone, and it is well reasoned that, unless the
use IN this country should continue as large,
or if the supply should increase, very great
changes in price might follow.
As to new ore discoveries, the information
is naturally vague. About two weeks ago it
! became known, however, that very large pur-
chases of the stock of the Ophir mine were
| being made, and the price at San Francisco
suddenly doubled. The only explanation given
| thus far is that a rich deposit, supposed to be
! the continuation OF the vein in the great
/ bonanza mines. has been reached. The stock has
continued to rise it sold for $l4 30 per share
about the 10th, for S2S 90 about the ! 9TH, and
/ for $50 OH the Odd, and at that rate was 80 pen
cent higher than the stock OF the California, and
nearly 80 per cent higher than that of the Vir-
elnia Consolidated mines, which are reported
rs having shipped 81, zoo, 900 of bullion within
three weeks ending November q. The dis
patches from Peru are even more vague, but
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-11-26

they announce the opening OF an enormous
body OF ore, according TO assays OF surprising
richness, and estimated 20 contain bullion
amounting TO hundreds of millions IN value.
Either of these discoveries. If verified, would
probably affect the market price OF SILVER very
greatly. Either would threaten to throw upon
the market silver many times exceeding the
amount offered by Germany a short time ago,
with such disastrous results TO the price.
According to British trade reports, the amount
of silver shipped from this country to Great
Britain during nine months of 1877, has been
less than $lO.OOO,OOO, though shipments in
1873 were about $40, 100000 But the ship
ments from European ports to the East have
been very large, exceeding S0,OOO,OOo 10
the middle of October, against S6S,OOOOOO
during the whole of last year, less than
$4,000, 900 during the year 1873, and less
than $27 900, 900 during the year 1873. Con-
sldering the course of the price during
this year, it is plain that the use
of S29,OOO,O00 for coinage by this coun-
try during the last fiscal year, and $4,000
600 during the fiscal year preceding, have
sustained the market and enabled Germany
to sell. and have, in fact, been equivalent to
purchases of nearly $50 900 600 of silver by this
country from Germany. But it is certain that
we cannot coin a larger amount within two
years to come even if we rem0netze silver, nor
can we exhaust the estimated surplus yet re-
manning in the hands Of Germany, while the
stock of other nations still will wait for fay-
orable market In these circumstances, If no in
crease of production appears, the utmost that we
could expect would be to prevent further
fall in the price, as purchases by this coun-
try have for two years past. AT the slightest
tendency to rise, the price would be met ana
thrust backward by the practically exhaustess
supply from Germany, and after about three
wears, from other countries. But If recent
discoveries should result, as may be reasona-
bly, expected, in large increase OF produc-
ton. not even purchases by this country exceed
ing the utmost capacity of our mlnts can ho!d
ND the price. All that could be done to pre-
vent fall we have done for two years, and
mt least as much we shall have to do for three
years more to enable Germany to get nd OF
its surplus. But moderate increase IN pro-
duction would Immediately prove the last
feather Reconciliation means to take al
the chances of great fall in silver, without
reasonable prospect of any advance in price
for two or three years at least.

feet of costly ships which could neither SAL,
nor steam, nor fight. We spent money like
water that year, to improvise squadron for
the West Indies raising the naval cXpcn-
ditures Of 1874 to S;31 100000; and there Is
general suspicion that we have now fallen
back to our former condition of ineiliciency.
There are no better officers in the world than
those of the United States Navy, and no
worse ships. Where the blame lies for the
miserable condition of force which ought 10
he the pride of the Republic, it is for Congress
to find out Let a committee be appointed,
and empowered TO secure the assistance OF cX-
Derts. in order to make n thorough inves iga'
ton Of the state of the navy, the value OF
every ship, and the management OF the Bu-
reaus of Construction and Repair ana steam
Engineering. Investigations have usually been
made with political purpose, and hence nave
been of little permanent use. Let us now nave
an investigation animated by no suspl-
cion and no hostile feeling against anybody,
but directed solely to discovering what the
navy wants to be worthy of the greatness OF
America. If our ships are rotten let them be
broken up and replaced by others if we are
spending money uscessly in repairs, let us stop
that waste, and build new ships instead IL
our constructors and engineers are incompe-
tent, let us dismiss them; if our sailors are
sent to sea in unseawOrthy vessels, for heavens
sake let us put an end to such wickedness;
cur ships may be few, but ut least they ought
to be the best of their kind.
