TEXAN CONGRESSMEN.

The Boston Post gives editorial prom.
inence to the following correspondence
OF the Belfast journal.
Talking the other evening with u
prominent Republican in regard to the
southern members, my friend suddenly
asked, DO you know that there are
three very remarkable men in Congress
from Texas| Il know of one" an.
swered, thinking of Governor Throcl<.
morton, whom have already mention
ed and then | was reminded OF Culber'
son and Hancock. Said my Republican
iriehd, Those men are all to be trusted
they are too honorable and frank for
any trickery' and then, while he talked
on | went hunting in my memory for
what l could find concerning them. I
should not know Mr.. Culberson now
but three years ago, while he sat in the
Senate of the Lone Star State, / used
to see him every day, | recollect the
swarthy face rendered still darker by
cloud of jet black silky hair that was
foerver tumbling out of place, and the
heavy beard and moustache utterly
hiding mouth and chin, while look of
strange melancholy always haunted the
great sloe-black eyes. Mr.. Culberson
would sit listlessly at his senatorial
deslk, paying apparently little heed to
matters about him, till some chance

SILVER MONEY,

The Boston Board OF Trade do not
desire the passage of the silver bill now
pending in the Senate having passed
the House. They earnestly protest
against making silver coin an unlimited
legal tender for all debts, public and
pin tie, and submit the following re@
sons in support Of their protest
/, Because the monetary standard OF
the United States has for more than
hall century been practically limited
to one metal namely gold, and all con
tracts and monetary transactions nave
been regulated by it,
9 Because this practical adoption OF
gold as n monetary standard was IN
1873 confirmed by statute, so that all
contracts then pending, except 80 lar as
modified by the legal tender net, were
definitely reduced to the gold standard
and every departure from the same III
monetary transactions and payments,
public or private, with the above ex'
ception, is positive violation OF con
tract, which by the Constitution OF the
United States is expressly prohibited to
the several States and would be still
more inexcusnble and ruinous III III
consequences if committed by the gen
eral Government,

volve great injury to the credit OF thu
United States, which has been steadil.

war, to the great advantage OF tn

fraud would tell against us in all tim

SURVIVORS IN WASHINGTON.


As stated in yesterdays STAR, Master w.
p. Conway, Ensign Lucien Young, Cadet
Engineer E. T. Warburton and Sailor Mi
chael Trainor, survivors OF the Huron dis
aster, arrived here from Norfolk via Bal
tmore at 11:30 yesterday morning. Assist
ant Engineer Robert G. Denig. the fourth
omcer saved from the wreck, was unable 10
proceed thus far, not having recovered sufh-
GENTLY from his terrible experience OF Sat
urday morning. Those who came here pro-
ceeded at once TO the Navy department to
make an official statement about the wreck.
bers of friends. The official statements OF
the survivors were made to the Secretary of
the Navy with closed doors. None of the
surviving officers were On deck when the
ship struck, and neither the capt ain nor the
navigating officer are alive to explain the
ships course. Cadet Engineer Warburtoa
yesterday stated to Engineer in chief Shock,
at the department. that the engines of the
Huron We're In excellent condition and
worked well for at least one hour after the
ship struck. This statement does away with
the supp0s ition that the engines broke down.
IL is the general belief that the officers of the
Huron were not aware of their proximity to
the shore, and had not made sufficient allow
ance for the strong current and the south
easterly gale. No cast of the lead was made
until just before thu vessel struck.
The particulars of Ensign Young's bravery
and wonderful escape have already been
published. The balsa with which he and the
sailor Williams attempted to reach the
shore, is sort of raft, consisting of two
large, inflated rubber tubes, parallel and
Joined together by a framework. The con-
struction of the balsa renders it impossible
TO sink IT. but makes il feather in rough
water, thrown from wave 20 wave. Ensign
Ioung's legs were badly damned before he
left the wreck, and he was pretty roughly
handled In the water, SO that he has to walk
with two canes. Master Conway is rather a
small man, apparently about thirty years OF
age. He, too, was pretty badly used up in
The wreck, but is able to get about. Cadet
Engineer WarburtOn seems TO bear no effects
OF the disaster. He is a native of Phiiaiel
phia, about twenty-three or twenty-four
years of age.
TWELVE MORE BODIES RECOVERED.
The Secretary of the Navy this morning
received the following telegram from the
station at the wreck, IL a. M: Lieutenant
SlmOns and twelve other bodies from the
Huron came ashore above Kitty Hawk.
VIII send them up as soon eS conveyance
arrives. SToDDARD."
COURT OF INQUIRY.
The Secretary of the Navy has decided to
order court OF inquiry TO investigate the
loss of the Huron.
