The Wreck of the Huron.

The United States steamer Huron,
wrecked on the coast of North Carolina,
with fearful loss of life, last Saturday,
was n third-rate iron screw steamer OF
five hundred forty-one tons, and carried
an armament of four guns. She was a
comparatively new vessel, being one OF
the three built by the government three
years ago with peculiar rig, as an eX-
pertinent. She had three masts, fitted
with schooner sails. There seems no
doubt that the number lost was thirteen
officers, including her commander, and
ninety-onc men, the saved comprising
four officers and thirty men. The sur
vivors swan ashore, ms the boats were
all swamped In the surf. The vessel is
n total loss, she having gone to pieces
on the beach. Eight bodies We're re-
covered from the sea. The gale in
which the vessel went down was ter
rible one, the wind blowing at the rate
of seventy miles an hour. Storm sig
nals>had been flying for three days be-
fore the Huron sailed, and it is thought
strange that the warning should have
been disrcgarded. The theory of those
well acquainted with the coast is that
she got caught In the gale, and while
trying TO hold on, head TO the wind,
her machinery gave way, her sails
were useless, and she driited ashore.
This is the first wreck of a government
ship Of war in several years.

IT. They. are having exciting times in
the United States Senate, as by the de-
lection of Senators Patterson, of South
Carolina, and Conover, of Florida, the
Republicans are reduced TO q minority
for the purposes of decision upon the
admission of General Butler from South
Carolina. Whether the detection is 10
be permanent or not does not vet APP
pear, but is considered probable owing
to the hold the Democrats have upon
Patterson and Conover in the matter of
indictments hanging over them in their
own states. During the struggle of
Monday, for the purpose of bringing
Senators Patterson and Conover into
the party traces, Senator Edmlnds Of
fered Il resolution for a committee of in
quiry into the reported bargain made
for corrupt purposes between Patter-
son and ConOver and certain Demo-
Gratis, which was lost by the vote of the
Democrats, aided by Conover and Stan.
ley Matthews. During its tendency
however, Patterson presented most
pitable and disgusting appearance
seemingly being frightened and begging
piteously not TO be investigated. The
New York Times, speaking of this mat
ter, says: off there were any doubt
that Patterson and Conovcr were acting
false part, it would be dissipaied by
the feeble, rambling, polntless defense
which they undertook TO make of theil
course. They insisted that they were
still Republicans; that they intend to
sustain the majority of the Elections
Committee, and that they should vote
for Butler and for Kellogg whenever
the claim of either came up. But they
entirely neglected TO explain why they
had voted, against reason, against fair.
10 take Buffers case out of the hands Of
the committee, and 10 give ii precedence
over regular and wcll-considcied re-
port on Kellogg's case. Their actua
motive must have been 10 aid the Dem,
ocrats, TO whom such disposition Of
the two cases would be positive parti-
san advantage. The question then
comes up, why do they wish TO aid the
Democrats? To this question the in
vestigation asked for by Mr.. Edmunds
resolution ought TO give an answer.

" 1t has been thought that the death
of Brigham Young was great caami-
ty for Mormonism and that disiniegra-
ton would soon begin TO show itself
after the death of the great leader. But
such seems not to be the case. Father
Taylor shows great ability as an organ
izer. He has promised that the trustee
of the church shall give full account OF
the peoples tithing twice Il year and
what is done with it. lie has also be-
gun an investigation of all the church
accounts, in order to find ont just how
much property the church owns and il
any of it has been appropriated by the
Brighamites. And conferences are be-
ing held all over the country, rigid
account of everybody's stewardship de.
manded, and il is said there never was
such unity, activity and enthusiasm
among the people as now.

~ Quite probably Senator Edmunds
is honest In thinking that the presi-
dents cndcavor TO recover for the ex-
ecutive its constitutional right to make
nominations to federal offices is "vis-
ionary" scheme, and that senators and
representatives ought to take that pow
er to themselves, but still, considering
that the latter class of officials have
uniformly secured offices only for their
friends and those who could help re-
tain them in their working
nine parts for themselves to one part
for the civil service-it would not be
very strange if the people disapproved
of Senator EG,imund's "practical' ideas
and'preferred to see this customary
plan tried for awhile, just by way of al
experiment.

~ 1t scarcely seems necessary to
utter filings against the last legislature
or discuss their "bungling work. in
connection with the discussion of every
application or Interpretation of their
enactments. And yet the crudities
appear so frequently in these connec-
tions that il is not strange that the critl-
cisms are somewhat mingled with the
other discussions. These thoughts are
suggested by the opinion of State Audi
tor Ladd, which we publish in this issue,
and the comments of some of the state
papers upon it.
1t appears that an appropriation of
$25OO was made for the payment and
expenses of the Board of Agriculture
in language from which the auditor
found it difficult TO determine whether
it was intended that it was an
annual or biennial appropria-
ton. His final conclusion is that
the intent was that they might eXpend
that amount each year, and he explains
that the design is TO be inferred but is
not stated in words. The people will
be glad that Mr.. Ladd has arrived at
this conclusion, for the valuable meet
ings ofthc Board for the winter were
impossible without this money to pay
expenses. A careful reading of the
law shows that this construction.of its
meaning does no violence to its terms,
and it is certainly more complimentary
to the good sense of the Legislators who
formed and enacted it than the narrow
and illiberal view some so called ccono-
mists have been inclined to give TO it.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 80, 1877.

r-B- It has been the custom since the
death Of General Robert f. Lee for the
students of Washington and Lee Univer-
sity to mount and keep guard over his
grave. A short time since that custom
was discontinued, and the Virginia
editors cried out against this neglect
on the part of the students. Under this
provocation the students naturally and
pertinently retort that these editors had
better try it themselves awhile.
