The Ice Disaster in the Ohio.

CINCINNATI, Jan. ID.
The movement Of te in the Ohio river
has been almost general from Pitlsburg 10
Cairo, entailing heavy losses chiefly upon
owners Of coal boats and barges. A dis
patch from NOrth Bend, twelve miles be-
low hare, reports over two hundred coal
barges passing there in the ice to-day. At
Mlngo, near Steubrnyille, ten barges were
swept away to-day and four at Parkcrs-
burg. The ice in the Kanawha broke yes
terdoy carrying away a wharf, boat and
several barges. At Blen~nerhassett's island
the tow boat N. J. Bigley and eight barges
and the steamer M. S. Tia lhauser were
carried off by the ice. L ght barges. it Il
supposed from the Kentucky river, passed
Madison this afternoon. At Jacksonville
The river rose FIVE feet in two hours and
the ice swept down at the rate of ten miles
an hour, tearing away a large quantity OF
valuable timber from ship yards, sinkit g
several bargcs of coal and demolishing a
portion of the ferry boat.
W sTEAMEBs WRECKED.
The Ice Which had remained saa'iora-y
above Newport bridge gave way at nton
to-day and striking the sunken steamer
Calumet turned the wreck around and
swept 1t down with the current, making
the boat a total loss. Farther down the
Ice carried away about forty loaded and as
many empty co ! boats, and at Delhi, ten
les bel.w, took ths steamer Alex. Ken
dali with it. The damage by ice here to-
day will aggregate fully a hundred thou
sand dollars.

THE qAIEVES ASYLUM.


The Committee investigating the man
agement of the Custom-house examined
Mr.. Wentworth, the Paymaster, who tes-
tilted as follows:
There are persons on the payroll who
do no work. The laborers' payroll
amounts now about to 100000, 1 think
ifthe system was conducted in business
and economical manner the work could
be done for $225000 Political pressure
causes more men to be employed than are
required. BY decreasing the number of
districts, and discharging Weighers and
Assistant Weighers, $4,000 more could
easily be saved.
Question-Do you think political pres
sure causes loss to the Government in
this Department Of 100000 annually ?
Answer-I do, sir.
Joseph Southward, of the Statistical
Bureau, was examined, and said his De-
partm 5nt might be reduced. About FIVE
out of twenty'four employees could be dis
pensed with.
Assistant Auditor Jacobs testified that
there was general reduction Of salaries
of 10 per cent in March, 1875, but they
were put up again after abouta year. He
believed the appropriation had run out.
Persons appointed by the President or
Senate or heads Of Departments were not
reduced. Their salaries are fixed by
law

HOW MIR. MOODY PREHENTED A
PANIC.

The only approach to panic which oc-
cured during the revival services in Bos-
ton, took place Thursday of last week.
During the singing ofa hyman some one
near one of the entrances tainted. The
hustle resulting caused several hundred
persons to spring to their feet, few Of
them starting for the windows. Ina mo-
ment the people were on their feet, all
over the house, and panic seemed in
evitable. Many faces turned pale, scorss
of men and women thronged the aisles,
and with fear and irresolution thousands
stood in their places scarcely knowing
what to do. The din was tremendous,
and in the midst of it all the voices of the
singers were lost and the music ceased
Police officers and ushers moved rapidly
about, reassuring the excited masses, and
presently Mr.. Moody arose and exclaimed
"Please be quiet l have heard from that
part Of the house. Some one has tainted,
and when they took her into the air lot
ofpeople had to get up, and" Here the
speaker waved both hands in the air
wildly, and shook his head, to denote the
crazed condition in which the people had
allowed themselves to be thrown. He
then explained that there was no occasion
for panic. A hearty outburst of ap-
plause followed, and then all united in
singing II need Thee every hour"

HONESTY OF PURPOSE.

Let us learn to value honesty of pur-
pose instead of glitter and show. Moral
worth should rank higher than title
deeds, bonds and bank stock combined
as evidences of dignity and position in
society. Give us plain, respectable dress
that neither blindly follows nor utterly
ignores fashion give us language purged
alike from slang phrases and long words
without meaning to speaker or listener,
and above all, words which convey the
true sentiments of the heart; let all be
taught that our fashions and errors affect
our whole lives for evil; that whoever in
jures or seeks to injure his neighbor in
jures himself most-let us, in a word,
live fully up to our consciousness Of right
and wrong.
Men may differ greatly in the Compari-
son and combination of ideas, but what
eyer the degree of intellect, it must rest
at last on the foundation of simple opera
tions of consciousness, wherein is the
broad equality of humanity; so we end
by finding that true dignity of character
which reversion has rendered difficult of
attainment is really one of the easiest
and most natural things in the world
that instead of being hereditary or de-
pending on other requisites, it is of itself
only development of the fundamental
principles of Nature.

THE CALIFORNIA TWEED.

The return of Pinney, the defaulting
naval pay clerk at San Francisco, is rails
ing as big rumpus among radical poll
ticians on the Pacific slope as did the
threatened confession of Tweed in New
York. There are couple of millions in
volved. Pinney was kept out of the
country by threats of his "pals," that he
should be railroaded to the Penitentiary
should he return, and is back now, mad
at being cheated and betrayed by his as
sociates. Congressman Page, Senator
Sargent and other leading Radicals are
on his black list. This gang, when Pin
ney ran away, persuaded his wife he had
eloped with woman, and on their rep
reservations she got a divorce. They
then purchased incriminsting letters and
accounts from her. Pinney since his re-
turn has satisfied his wife Of his fidelity
to her, and they are now jointly aiding
the government to recover the money
Pinney stole for the benefit of the Rad
ical politicians. This is an outline of the
story. 1t is as remarkable in its entirety
as a sensation novel. Just when the
country will get to the bottom of the dev-
ilment that has been going on among the
Republican jobbers, is puzzler. Every
week developes some new contrivance.

THE MO UNTAlN 0FMUNICIPAL IN
DBBTEDNESS.

1t is popularity supposed to be very
easy to roll off log; but.itis not half so
easy as rolling up municipal debt.
There is also a popular belief that one of
the easiest things in life is the sinking
ones self in personal Indebtedness, but
making personal debts, easy as the OPP
Grafton is, is twice as hard as to pile debts
upon the shoulders of municipal cor
poration. The personal spendthrift has
at least some slight incentive to go slow,
as the consequences ofimprovidence and
wasteful expenditure come home to him
individually while too often the fiscal
burdens of cities are imposed by ire
sponsible and Indifferent individuals, in
their brief authority as legislators, who
seem to consider it small matter to vote
bonds, mountain high, at the beck of
any pressure they may be subjected to !;
it don't affect them-they don't own any
property. or pay any taxes $50 what's
the oddsl"
The debts of American cities present
a fearful aggregate, and must convince
any thoughtful observer that they com.
promise one of the most important fac
tors in the prolongation Of the hard
times. Their weight is felt by all
classes-by some directly and others
indirectly. In the latter class is the in
different legislator who helps to heap up
the load on the absurd idea that he is
safe in any event.
AS an illustration Of our subject we
append the following list Of forty one
cities and the amounts of their indebted,

He was looking at house, and struck
by the neatness Of the kitchen, he ex-
pressed his admiration. A few days af-
terward a friend showed him letter
from the cook in that kitchen. She had
been reared in luxury, and suddenly
found herself an orphan with an unf1n-
ished education and no means. Like a
brave girl, she went into service, and-it
is hard to write it-but that kind word OF
admiration was the first sunshine on a
dreary road, and she made haste TO re-
port It to an old friend of her family.

Pittsburg, May 1O.-A large six story
brick building in Allegheny, occupied as
a manufsctory by the Excelsior Cotton
Works Of Hamilton, Lennon, Arnold &
Co., fell with terrific crash to-day. For.
tunately but few persons were in the build.
ing at the time, and these, with one ex-
ception, escaped death, although some Of
them were severely bruised and cut. Mr..
Eugene McGeary, a contractor, and who
was engaged in making some repairs on
the building, was buried in the ruins,
and upto midnight his body has not been
recovered, as the precarious,c of
the walls and portions of the building
yet standing render search impossible un-
til they are braced so as to prevent fur

The moral of it all is that retrench-
ment and economy must be carried into
municipal government and planted there
with firm hand. If people are indiffer.
ent to the class Of men who politically
represent them in general and "out>
side" way, they must Danish this indif-
ference when home matters are concern
ed. In the local election the best men
should be selected for office, and the
best men should win. Cleveland, with
her eight millions of debt, is good SUBJ
ject for Correction ; and we shall see
how the Republicans. with their large
majority in the council, manage the 6s>
cal elephant. If our municipal affairs
are not administered in wise, careful
and business like way, the public will
not have to wipe its spectacles in order
to find out who is responsible.

AN OHIO MAN IN TROUBLE.

John w. Montgomery, of Chilicothe
Ohio, is awaiting police court decision
on the charge of sending letter to Will
liam Allen Miller threatening him with
death if he did not promptly pay $2,500
which Montgomery claims is due from
the estate of his uncle, John W, Rea, Of
which Miller was executor Montgomery
claims that Miller defrauded him of his
fair share of the property. Besides this
he claims that $4,000 were found in his
uncle's trunk after his death, and that
this money was given by Miller to his
wife without division.
