MISCELLANEOUS aLEANINGs.

The blame for the loss Of the il-fated
steamer Huron, in the opinion of naval
officers, rests upon the commander-frst, in
putting to sea in the face of an impending
storm, of which they had been warned by
the danger-fags of the signal service; and,
second, by the display Of bad sesmanship in
running the vessel in close to shore
instead of putting directly out to
sea. A dispatch from Norfolk says: "Twenty-
one dead bodies can be seen from the shore,
dashed to the main and mizzen rigging Of the
Huron"

THE NAVY.
Secretary Thompson's Report.


The Secretary of the Navy, In his report.
says: "Ihe appropriations available for the
present fiscal year, commencing July /, 1877,
are $3.50, 9S2. The whole amount drawn
from the treasury from July togNoy. /. 1877.
is 81, 84S, 0ST. OF this amount there ia est;-
mated to have been in the hands Of the Paw
masters and agents of the Government on Nov.
l, 1877, 1916, 528, besides S152, 600 refunded
making total of 81, o2s, 52s, which, deducted
from the amount drawn, will show the aetna,
expenditure from July l to Nov. /, 1877. To
have been 81, 91S, SOC. The estimates for the
present fiscal year are Sic, 49, 2S, exclusive of
81, 314, 23l submitted for new buildings. re-
pairs and improvements at several navy-vards
IN the report of the Secretary of the Navy Nov
~, 1876, the estimated amount for the paw of
the navy for the present fiscal year was 81. 800
QUO, the computation being based upon the
number of officers and men borne upon the
register. Congress, however, by the act of
March B. 1877, appropriated only $4,000, 600,
or 500, 900 less than the estimate. This viii
necessarily produce deficiency at the end OF
the fiscal yesr, unless Congress shall appro-
pirate the amount, the payment of which to
officers and men is 50 fixed by law that it can
not be evaded. The amount appropriated for
the deficiency at the extra session of Congress
had reference only to the last fiscal wear, end
ing June 80, 1877, and was based upon the
amount ascert aimed to be due upon the books
of the Fourth Auditors Office whereas the de-
hoiency here referred to is estimated forthe
present fiscal year ending June so 1878"

Mortality of the Blacks.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from Memphis, says, in
speaking of the condition of the colored
people of the South : When we come to
mortality statistics there is something
positively frightening in the figures. For
whites this is among the most healthful
cities of the Union-far ahead of Nash
vile. In sixty years the city has had
but three epidemics. and during the
worst cholera visitation at Nashville,
Memphis almost entirely escaped. I'm
mediately after the war, when the freed
men crowded the poorer portions of the
city, their mortality stood to that of the
whites in the enormous ratio of three to
one Thence it declined slowly, and for
the past two years has averaged nearly
two to one. The pure blacks are ex-
empt from yellow fever, and the higher
colors nearly SO; but cholera and small
pox rage fearfully among both. For the
six months ending June 80, 1877, the
record averages thus:
Whites-Deaths per /, 900. ...............15 4-10
Colored-Deaths per ,000 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 81 4-10
Or two and half times as many. Nor
can [ see from the burial certificates that
it is confined to any age. Old and young
negroes, male and female, seem to die in
like proportions. The sickly months for
whites are from June to October inclu-
sive, but with the blacks all the months
are sickly. December is as fatal as May.
