LIE LOST HrRON.

Let us keep this horror OF the lost Huron
long enough III sight To determine what was
the cause of such wholesale slaughter, and to
guard against It's repetition. If neither the
ship nor her officers were to blame, who was
There is good deal of vague fault-indinS
with the Life-Saying Service. The stations
were ten miles apart, and locked up, We are
told. The first signal Of distress from the
doomed vessel was seen on shore, and if the
stations had been manned and equipped, line
might have been given her by means OF a MOI
tar, and many, if not all, the lives lost have
been saved by the lile-cars and RATS All this
is undoubtedly true, and TO confirm the discon-
tent, leaders of the two parties in Congress
have been wrangling as to which have been
most liberal in voting appropriations. Now Che
question is, not how much did Democrat or
Republican give, but did they give enough 7
If this Lifc-Saving Service fails in emergencies
like that of the Huron from mismanagement or
inenciency of officers or men, let us not be
taxed to support 1t at all. If it be farce, 1t
is too costly farce to keep up any longer
But if it failed from a niggardly economy on
the part of Government to supply men and
appliances, the sooner such economy and Its re-
suits are exposed the better
Figures are the safest arguments in sUch a
case. Before the establishment of the service
q yearly holocaust of lives was made upon
our Atlantic coast between 1880 and 1870,

%7,SlO,O74; the value OF the property saved
amounted TO $j.2j4,3OO. Now the stations
on the North Carolina District were not

amounts at the outside to $1,000. Set this
saving against the value of the lost vessel and

Patterson is really too much. There is a re-
port now from Washington that he claims the
right 70 CONTROL the appointment OF United
States District-Attomey for South Carolina.
Perhaps under the old rule of courtesy" he
might have some excuse for setting up such
pretension, but he ought to be taught tliat he
does not stand IN the position of an ordinary
Senator, and has 10 business to demand the
same consideration which is bestowed upon his
colleagues. He came to Washington covered
all over with discredit. He was admitted to

the protests Of q great many persons of his

PURROV Is LOOSE!

The celebrated Purroy, he of the wire mus
Gle and the BesSemer-steel fist, having only
few days more to serve his country III the
Board of Aldermen, is casting about for
another place, in which he can earn mod
est competence by the sweat of his bceps.
After reviewing all the positions in the pub
lie service, and trying, so to speak, number
of chairs in various parts of the City Hall, he
has finally chosen tho Office Of Receiver OF
Taxes Purroy wishes to be recognized"
He once stated in public that the city owed
Aldermen and all such useful persons hand
some salary and liberal allowance for their
election expenses as he has not only been an
Alderman, and a very distinguished one too,
but has also rendered a signal service to the
State by breaking the jaw of Delegate Jones,
of Nyack, at a critical moment in the affairs
Of LatheIs we presume that he expects a
life-pension. PuToy is modest; he always
was.
There are some trifling objections, however,
10 the scheme upon which he is now employed.
In the first place. the city has a very good
Receiver Of Taxes already General Mcmahon,
though he is member OF Tammany happens
to be a gentleman, u gallant soldier, an honest
and efficient officer, and general fayOTite,
and, with Mr. Keily's cooperation, he has made
Il great many Improvements in the old annoy
ing routine of his bureau. Controller Kelly is
not at all likely to remove HIM merely to
please PurTOy. 1t is true that Purroy might
get the General out by the same heroic method
which he adopted in the case of Delegate
Jones. He might go over to the Tax Office and
break the Receivers jaw. But even if the place
were vacant we are quite certain that Purroy
j. rot tbe kind of man the Controller would
select to iii it, Thus, after macerating Nc
Nfobon. il would be necessary for PuTOy to
overcome the objections OF Mr.. john Kelly by
hreal,ing his jaw too. That would he

Mr.. Kelly would not follow the example Of
Delegate Jones and make haste, as soon as
the bandages were adjusted. to write card
for the newspapers, testifying his perfect sat
isfactIon with the arrangement, and his high
appreciation of Mr. Purroy's gcntlemanly quail
tiles. That sort of settlement is al very well
in Nyack; but they arrange these things diff
ferenuy at Tammany Hall. Upon the whole,
we should advise Purroy to drop the receiver
ship and try for something light and genteel
in the line Of his special talents. How would

FrOm the Cumberland tad.l Civilian, June g. J
The Democratic party carried the
State Of Maryland at the last State
election by fraud, outrage and blood
shed but the solid Democratic journ-
ais. such as the Sun and Gazette,
saw no wrong in what was done.
The harmony of the unterrifed has
now been disturbed, however, and
the tactics of ruffianism are being
practiced by rival Democratic aspi-
rants, wherefore as good a Democrat
as ex-Msyor Banks is led to say
through the columns Of the Sun the
following pertinent little speech,
which we commend to our Democrat
ic friends:
| am candidate for the Mavoralty,
aud rest my ease on the will Of the
party, but ask that that will shall be
allowed fair and free expression at
the ballot box. As an old Democrat,
/ here take occasion to say that un-
less elections in Baltimore, primary
or general, shall be conducted diff.
ferently from the mode in which
they have been conducted; unless
other means than force, false voting
and counting shall be relied up
on as q means of success at the polls,
itrequires no prophet to foretell the
certain downfall Of the Democratic
party in th e near future.
