know but littlo Of tho undorcurrent
of affairs in Columbia, and arc ig-
norant Of tho existence of any cons
cortcd schome to savo Patterson
from justice. Vague rumors to
that effect havo reached lis, but have
received little heed, for it seemed
impossible for any Of tho officials of
the State to aid Honest John in his
rascality. We aro therefore per
fcctly ready to accept Senator Crit
tondon's indignant denial of the
charge that he is Attempting to
shiold Patterson. Tho nero suspi-
cion of such thing is enough to
mako any man angry.
But, at tho same time, wo must
admit that we cannot SEQ how the
courts can now bring Patterson to
Justice. A formal rcquisition urged
by tho Encouragement of the State,
and ably argued, has been refused
by the drunken Judge, Humphreys, of
the Court of the District of Colum-
bia, upon tho plea that the Senate is
tho proper tribunal to try Patter-
son. As Patterson will remain in
Washington until tho expiration of
his term of office, tho courts are
powerless ut least until tho end Of
the session, which may last for
months, nnd in tho meanwhile he
represents tho State, and votes on
all important matters. Tho courts
Of South Carolina cannot appeal to
tho United States Senate, while to
mako another rcquisition on tho
courts ut Washington as long rs
Patterson is in attendance on the
Senate, would be waste of timo
and money. The only way to reach
him now is by resolution Of our
Legislature, addressed to the Senate.
That will keep him worried ut any
rate, until the timc at which the
courts may soizo him.
Senator Crittondcn is reported rs
saying
The courts arc still tho proper
places in which to prosecute and
convict John j. Patterson (and not
the halls Of Congrcss) Of the charges,
which I have no doubt arc truo
Our remedies in the courts, sir, are
far from being exhausted yet. The
only point Of difference is that tho
Of investigation wish to
operate through and hopo to effect
their object through the Senate,
while we desire and expect to reach
tho same end moro surely in the
courts.
If ono half tho people believe
Patterson can be caught in one way,
while tho other half deem another
way best, what in the world is to
prevent trial of both ? If Patter-
son is tho rascal every ono says he
is, why not tako advantage of every
possible means Of Furnishing him ?
The courts and tho Senate are inde-
pendent branches Of government,
and the punishment they con infict
differs in character. Conviction in
court will not remove Patterson
from the Senate, nor will expulsion
from tho Senate send him to the
pcnitentiary. Both methods should
DO tried, and the only question
shotfd bo which can catch him first.
Tho courts have sent us to the
Senate The next step, at least, is
to mako tho Senate send it back to
tho courts. Patterson should be
made q football, continually boing
kicked from ono body to tho other.
In tho meantime, tho people are
asking whether Patterson is to es-
cape scot froo, while tho officers aro
rs to the best way of
him. The answer to this
is left with tho powers that bo.

on the Sound. The freight is strewn along the
beach.
There were seventy-fve lady passengers on
board who behaved bragely throughout
The tremen of GreeDport and East Marion did
good service with their energies, landing passeng
ers, two hundred in all. All were safely landed
ashore by one o'clock, and will return to New
York by the Long Island railroad. The boat i.
fast upon the rocks and badly broken.
The surf is rolling six to eight feet high. The
cause1of going ashore was the loss of reckoning
IN the storm. The opinion is that she will go tt
pieces.
Much OF the cargo, consisting of bales of cot
ton, oil IN barrels, and general merchandise, wa
thrown overheard.
The steamer Bristol of the Fa River and tn,
Rhode Island of the Providence Line, and tn,

CHESTER. October s. The crew of the lost
stesmsh ip Magnolia are here, very destitute. The
first officer says the boats had very hard time
getting from the sinking vessel TO the bark Stark
| und, twelve miles to leeward. One boat contain
ing men swamped shortly after leaving the
Magnolia, and everything was swept overheard.
The transfer occupied four or five hours. She
came near beng left by the bark, as ii was
thought that the Magnolia had gone down, and
the men could not be saved. The second officer
however, prevailed upon the captain of the bark to
send boat back, thus saving the entire party.
All speak highly of the brave conduct of Captain
Daggett, and of the captain of the bark.
The Strikers.
SCRANTON, October s. Presidents Hoyt and
Dickson of the Pennsy lvaDis and Delaware and
Hudson Coal companies, arrived from New FORK
last night and this morning each had a separate
conference with the committee OF their workmen.
A similar meeting was also held between genei al
coal agent Storrs and committee OF the Della
| ware & Lsckawanna miners.
The result of the respective interviews is a Sc
| cession of the strikers from their former demand
of Is per cent. advance 10 wages, and plea on
their part simply for some concession from the
companies to take the edge off the defeat to recon
Gle the men to the inevitable and get them to
work. No definite terms ale named by the men ,
and no exactions imposed.
The representatives of corporations maintained
firmly their original position. which requires the
strikers to resume work at the prices upon which
they went out, before any negotiations can be
had.
The men cannot endure the continuance Of this
verge of starvation more than a month longer. Ii
is probable that work in the mines will be re-
sumed here thin fortnight.
A meeting of 5000 striking miners of the Penn
sylvana Coal Co., is called for tomorrow, to act
upon the snswer of the President of the company
to the mems demand.

The high wind Of yesterday made sad havoc
with the apples. The ground in the orchard of
II. G. Plaisted is completely covered, under many
of his trees. Other orchardists have suffered the
same way, though less in quantity.
The daughter of Mr.. Geo. w. Chase, aged about
eleven years, died on Friday morning.
The heavy rain yesterday morning, raised the
streams httle but unless followed by more of
the same kind will not be Of lasting benefit in
that direction.
