Mr.. HAYES has offered foreign mission
TO Mr.. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL. and he has re-
fused 1t. Mr.. LOWELL does wisely. No man OF
honor can wish TO serve under a Fraudulent
President; and no man who sees how useless
and absurd our foreign missions are would

The result Of the BLArvELT hcrcsy trial
will surprise no one who has followed tho pro-
ceedings. The appellant himself seems to have
anticipated It from the outstart. The General
Synod OF the Reformed Church rejects his
appeal and afllrms the judgment of the lower
ecclesiastical courts. In other words. ii de-
cides that the Rev. DR.. AUGUSTUS BLAuvELr
was rightfully suspended from the ministry
as hereto and bctrayer OF the
cause Of CHRIST. The reverend doctor
acpuicsces cheerfuy in the Suspension part
and is not much troubled by the label Of here
tic. which greater. II not better. men have
worn before him; but he strenuousy protests
against the imputation Of dsloyaity 10 CHRIST
and he announces his purpose to arraign his
Judges. in their tdrn. for having substituted
orthodoxy for Christianity. There seems TO
have been radical divergence Of opinion
among the members Of the Synod on the ques-
ton OF the Rev. DR.. BLAuvELT's probable uti-
mate fate. While one clergyman fatty pro-
nounced him n child of the Devil another ex-
pressed hope amounting apparently to CON
ndencc. Of meeting his erring brother in
heaven.

Loss Of the steamer sandy No. Z-Further
Particulars.
The steamer Willie, Capt. e. D. Trinidad, ar.
rived Tuesday night, bringing the passengers
and crew CT the Inflated Sandy No. 2. From them
we learn the following: The Sandy was on her
way down with q cargo Of 101 hogsheads sugar,
100 bales cotton, 2l79 sacks cotton seed, 100
head Of cattle, and large lot Of eggs and hides.
When within about five miles Of Baton Rouge,
Monday night she run afoul Of a heavy log, strik-
ing her forward she commenced TO sink rapidly,
going down head foremost, the afterpart being
buoyed up by the cotton and seed in her engine
room, until she reached point about five miles
below Baton Rouge, when she capsEed and dis
appeared from sight. The forward part Of the
boat went under 30 quickly that IL was impossible
to save anything out Of the Office. Indeed, 1t was
with the greatest difficulty that the passengers
and officers could get out Of the cabin with their
lives. or the passengers none were lost.
Two oolored roustabouts were lost. II is sup
posed they were asleep among the sacks of seed.
or her cargo, bales cotton and IL boxes eggs
are known to have been saved and were brought
here on the Willie. The cotton was used by some
of the passengers in saving themselves from
drowning. Both passengers and officers Lost all
OF their clothing.

in the cabin, were all in their berths,
and on the striking of the boat were able only to
get on the hurricane deck, with the exception OF
ten who went overheard. All we're in their night
clothes, no passenger being able to save any
thing, the boat sinking 80 much that the bell on
the roof could not be sounded ten minutes after
striking. Capt. Broad and the mate, N. Under
wood, and the two pilots, Splane and dunbar,
succeeded in quietng the passengers who were
huddled in the rear of the hurricane deck. The
life boat and ekiff which were In front were
washed away, leaving only one yawl on the boat,
which WAS launched under the directions OF the
Captain, and took off on the first trip twenty-seven
people-that lie, about twelve In the yacht, ana
the rest towing on the sides in the water. In
medistey on landing. the boat was sent back,
and brought off twenty four, making hfty-one In
all. The balance OF the crew and passengers,
numbering about 100. were rescued on cotton
bales and by the skiffs from the coal heet at
Baton Rouge; but of over 100 souls only two were
lost. The boat, at the time Of the sinking, was

had left with it's first load, CALAMITY lashed two
bales Of cotton together and placed ladies' and
children upon them, when they tioated In safety
until rescued The fact that the loss Of life was
not great was due entirely to the self-poHsession
OF Capt Broad and Mate Underwood and pilots
splane and Dunbar, who succeeded in quoting
the passengers and crew, preserving order,
placing them on bales of cotton. and they were
the last to leave the boat. They did not leave
their posts until cabin and deck passengers and
the crew were out OF danger.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.

| The Annual Rudget--The Free Markets
ana Self-sustaining Recorders Courts.
| Mr.. James, License Inspector of the Depart.
ment of Finance, was in the Office Of Admins
traitor Cayanac talking over the free market mat
| ter, which arises again under the decision oil
| the Supreme Court published in yesterdays
DEMocRAT.
The views Of Mr.. Oavanac, 40 expressed to Mr..
james, are in effect that he (Mr. Cavanac) does
not propose to enforce the law without the means
| at his command to do so. He has now, he says,
eight market inspectors for all the markets Of the
city, five Of whom are constantly employed and
absolutely necessary. The amended budget now
being prepared by the Administrators of Finance
and Of Accounts will deprive him of the necessary
appropriations to keep these inspectors and will
render his efforts in enforcing the law futile.
sEIF-susTAINING.
In conversation with the Administrator OF
Police, our reporter asked Mr.. Diamond how the
Recorders returns OF fines, since the 9th OF jan
uary, compared with similar periods in previous
years. Mr. Diamond answered that he had had
no opportunity to inquire precisely into the mat
ter, but thought that Mr.. Mitenberger's court
had been self-sustaIning or nearly 80. 1t WAS
also his opinion that both of the present Record
ers' courts could be conducted without expense
to the city.
ABOUT THE POLICE.
The practice of some members of the police to
spend great deal of their time in bsr-rooms is
to be effeotually checked and the rules prohibit
ing them from entering bar-rooms and grog-
shops s to be rigidly enforced. As to those who
are caught within their beats under the influence
of liquor, their fate ia sealed. The Board of Po-
lice say that there are many sober men who
served since the ninth Of January, to fill the
place Of topers.
Referring to the wharf question his honor the
Mayor instructed the City Surveyor yesterday to

cordance with the report OF Mr.. d'Hemecourt,
