The Loss of the Huron.

According to statements made by the surviv.
| ors Of the ili.fated steamer Huron heavy gale
was blowing Friday night but nothing serious
| was apprehended, and the cticors not on duty
| had retired as usual. When the danger was
| imminent all hands were aroused and began to
prepare for the worst. The ship struck about
| 200 yards from shore, the engines being at work
| in good order at the time. Captain Ryan at
once ordered the foremost to be cut away, and
| while his orders were being obeyed no and 1t
Palmer were washed from tho deck and were
| never seen again by their comrades. The great
excitement and indescribable scene commenced
| to demoralze some of the men and they at once
| began 10 look out for themselves as best they
could. Some dashed themselves to the masts
ard to the rigging sloft. while others stripped
and plunged into the raging sea to swim ashore
Shouts of agony were heard from those who
| could not swim, and choking prayers and wild
ordinations were uttered by those in the very
| Jaws of certain death.

and gave his orders in clear and distinct tone.
He ordered the foremost 10 be cut away in Or

heavy sea swept away the captain and most of
the mon on deck.
Chief Engineer Olson was heard to FAY, "God

of his coat and rushed towards the ships bow
and WAS seen no more. He did not leave his
post of duty until the ship began to 90 to pieces.
Lieut. Simons persisted nobly at his post. In
attempting with Ensign Young to carry line
to the shore he was twice washed overheard
while paying it out. The second time he was
pulled abosrd by the sailors in the chains in an
almost exhausted condition. He was the officer
in command after the captain persisted. Not
one of the drowned officers has yet been found.
Many Of the Geamen were killed on board the
ship by the awful crash, and others 80 disabled
as to be powerless to save themselves. All the
officers who knew the real causes Of the disaster
rerished on duty.

The manner IN which tho contest for supre

The manner in which tho contest for supre-
macy 10 The Senate, noy in progress is eonduc-
ted By The radicals, is not surprising. The
radical party, from its origin until now, when
it is rapidly approaching tie hour of its death,
has had no object higher than its own success,
and has halted at 70 measure however irjur-
GUS 10 the real interests of the country, or
damaging to it's honor, that has stood IN
the way of achieving that success. Such
considerations as the moral character OF lis
leaders, or the consistency Of their opinions,
never entered its calculations as factors 10 the
schemes by which an object YVES to be attained.
The two men against whom its denunciations
are now leveed, Senators Patterson and Con-
over, doubtless merit the contumely OF all right
thinking men, but they arc DO worse now
than they have bacu since tho first day
they entered the Senate and yet,from that day
until they spncu1ced their determination OF
distinguishing their Senatorial existence by one
fair, honest, aud proper act-Votlng for the ad-
mission of legally aud rightfuly elected mem.
Der of the body their party disagrees-they were
those whom their party delighted to honor,
and, so late as the organ;z ,tion Of the standing
committees Of the present extra session OF Con.
gress, were given important chairmanshlps.
Radicalism is horrible, though grotesque bur-
lesque upon everything that is decent and of
good report, and its speedy demise is welcomed
by all true patriots.
