This disaster, happily not attended by
any loss of life, occurred on part of the
Welsh coast where many ships have met
their fate. Tho fact that the vessel went
ashore inside the East Mouse Rock, at the
entrance of the Bulls Head Bay, on the
north coast of the island of Anglesey, shows
that she was driven to leeward by strong
wind, or that the captain Rugged the land
too closely in leaving the entrance of the
Mersey. Our special dispatches give q
graphic account of the scene of the wreck
and the gallant efforts Of the lifc-saving
crew to rescue the unfortunates on the
sinking ship. These noble men deserve
the thanks of all who admire that heroism
which risks life itself in the cause of duty
and humanity. A severe storm Of thunder
and lightning prevailed when the Dakota
struck, the sky was overcast and the dark
ness between the vivid flashes impenetra-
BILE. Our cable warning dated last Sunday
announced the probability Of bad weather
on the English coast on or about Thurs
day. This disaster occurred at ten o'clock
on Wednesday night, and was doubtless
due in great measure to the prevailing
bad weather.

The Senate Committee of Investigation
has declared the alleged charges against
Senator Woodin, said to be included in the
statement loosely called "Tweed's Confess
sion," to be wholly without foundation.
Certainly there was nothing in the testi-
mony taken by the committee to connect
Mr. Woodin in any manner with the re-
markable financial transactions Of Tweed
during the legislative session of 1870.
The unanimous decision of the commit
tee and the subsequent Endorsement
of the Senate were therefore inev-
table But this investigation and
it's result only render the publication Of
the Tweed statement the more necessary.
The Attorney General has been too leaky in
the past or is too reticent at the present. II
he had made no confidants nothing would
have been known of the contents of the
mysterious paper which is and is not con-
fession, and the Woodin investigation would
not have made the whole matter appear q
ridiculous farce. The longer the Attorney
General remains in his present absurd and
equivocal position the more difficult he will
find the task of extricating himself from the
dilemma.

The Coroner's jury in the Post Once
manslaughter speak very distinctly in their
verdict. They do not stop to smooth of
their words to please or help anybody.
They find that the immediate cause of the
falling of the roof was improper and insult
ficient construction, but that the primary
cause was the incompetency of the agents OF
the Treasury Department charged with tho
erection and completion of the building
that owing to the incompetency of Mr.. Null
lett, the supervising architect, the weight
of the roof was needlessly increased until
the roof beams and their support had to
carry O load three hundred per cent heavier
than they were originally designed to bear
that Mullctt and his employees were not
technically intelligent" yet failed to
consult the civil engineer of the Treas
ury Department, the only competent per-
son of the lot, when changes wero made
in the building; and that the United States
government is responsible for the calamity.
Well, what next? Who will be punished
for the crime? Who will compensate the
families Of the dead men for the loss they
have sustained? Will the District Attorney
and the Grand Jury consider the matter
mono of their business? It will be nothing
new if the whole affair should be suffered to
drop and be forgotten until some new
tragedy caused by ignorance and careless.

Taxing Bank Capital.

1t is to be hoped that tho Senate will not
suffer the bill in relation to the taxation of
banks to fail in that body. The bill passed
the Assembly on Wednesday, having
encountered a very bitter opposition from
some of the representatives from the rural
districts, who suffer from q sort of moral
hydrophobia on the subject of banks. No
unfair advantage is given to the banks by
the provisions of the biIh They are only
protected against an unjust and excessive
taxation by which capital is being driven
out of the business of banking to the serious
injury of all business, and especially of the
city of New York. The shareholders of every
bank and banking association are by the
terms of the bill to be taxed upon their
shares of stock in the same manner as
upon other personal property. but their
surplus to an amount equal to twenty-five
per cent of the capital is to DO exempt from
taxation. 1t is q poor policy to grind bank

The members of the National Academy of
Design have done sensible act in revoking
the decision which gave academicians a
right to certain space on the cline. "
Even if public opinion had not made
this action necessary we believe there
was enough sense Of right and justice
among the real artists who happen to
the repeal of the obnoxious rule
which sought to exclude works of
merit which happen to be the productions
of young men. We hope this unpleasant
incident is at an end, and that those artists
who are ncademicians by accident will in
future enjoy in peace the honors they have
somehow acquired without thrusting them
selves on public attention. They certainly
have nothing to gain by compelling the
public to take note of their incompetency
and their inability to compete with
the vigorous generation of young artists
whose advent has disturbed their
equanimity and unsettled their judgment.
They must remember one thing, and it is
this--they do not own the Academy of De-
sign, though they may control it. 1t is
theirs only in trust, and as it depends for
existence on public support it must be con-
Quoted in way to give public satisfaction
or sink into insignifcance. This we believe
the sensible portion of ncademicians under
stand, and VIC therefore have little fear that
any narrow minded clique will be per-

institution by attempting to use the Academy
of Design as though it were a private sales
room for the exhibition Of merchandise.

The report that Attorney General Devens
is to be made Minister to Turkey, though it
seems to some of the Washington corre-
spondents to come from enemies Of the adj
ministration, is probably not far out of the
way. 1t is an open secret that Mr.. Devens
does not fit well into the new Cabinet, and
while we have no doubt that the President
will give him on his retirement such
minor foreign position as he may desire we
have little doubt either that the retirement
of Mr. Devens will be welcome to Mr.. Hayes.
The Office of Attorney General is one of the
most important in the federal administra-
ton. The man who holds it ought not only
to be sound lawyer, he ought to be a man
of active mind, quick as well as correct in
his decisions, fearless against wrong; and
it is very important that he should be
in full and entire sympathy with the policy
of the President. Now, unless we are greatly
misinformed, the present Attorney General
has few or none Of the qualities needed
in his Office He is slow to act, has
not been in harmony with some of the
most important parts of the Presidents
policy, and, in short, has been drag upon
the administration. He is IN eminently
respectable man, of considerable. though
by no means great, requirements, and we
have no doubt he would fill satisfactorily
some other place; but he does not properly
belong in tho Cabinet of so clear-headed,
decided and sound-thinking President as
Mr.. Hayes has shown himself
We regard the rumors that he is to leave
the Cabinet before long Us probably true,
and we do not doubt that President Hayes
will know how to fill his place with better
man. The President is too decided and
sagacious man not to know when he has
made mistake. He was very fortunate in
his choice of the Cabinet; and if, on trial,
he finds only one man out of the seven not
precisely what he expected or hoped that
does not at oil invalidate his sound iudg-
ment. At any rate it is not right that no
should be attacked, even indirectly, for IN
intention to make q change which he doubt
less sees to be for the public good. For our
own part we shall see in the retirement
of Mr.. Devens and the appointment in his
place of man better suited for the impor-
tant duties of the Attorney Gcneralship
another evidence of the Presidents sa,
gacity and his determination to have a
Cabinet which will work zealously with
him.

Ills Majesty of the Cnp and Bells

Although titles of nobility are prohibited
by the federal constitution we can find
nothing in that instrument which renders
it likely that King Carnival and his court,
who are about to take up their temporary
residence in New York, will be interfered
with by the military or judiciary of the
United States. Indeed, intermarriages are
gradually familiarizing our people with the
pedigrees and peeragos of other lands, and
in some instances drawing them into pretty
close relationship with royalty itself. We
predict good time, therefore, for his
frolicsome majesty on Tuesday next. We
might, perhaps, have some doubt as to the
expcdiency Of carnival in the money
seeking, money-getting, hard-headed, COM
mercial metropolis. But the managers of
this frst attempt to introduce among us
the rollicking fun of this foreign revel have
energy judgment and character sufficient
to make it acceptable and successful. The
show will at all events be unprecedented in
extent, gayety and splendor, and, as we nro
always sure of immense crowds of specta-
tors, we do not see why in the carnival lexi-
con there should DO found any such word as
'fail."

The Commissioner of Public Works, on
the suggestion of the Comptroller, has con-
sidered the feasibility of dispensing with
the old distributing reservoir ct Forty
second street and Fifth avenue. Mr. Camp
bell states that the reservoir is no longer
necessary as part of our water system.
It's capacity is only twenty million gallons,
while the Central Park reservoirs have a
capacity Of one thousand two hundred and
fifty million gallons. An expense Of ten
thousand dollars would suffice to rearrange
the pipes, while quarter OF that sum would
be saved annually in superintendent. The
Commissioner thinks the ground should be
added to Reservoir square, which would
make q public park having On area of
nearly ten acres. If Forty-frst street
should be opened westerly from Fifth
avenue to Reservoir square the city, after
allowing for the roadway, would have eighty
full lots, n moderate estimate for which
would be one million five hundred thousand
dollars. There can scarcely be two opinions
as to the advisability OF the proposed altera-
ton. The Forty-second street reservoir is now
of no more use as part of our water system
than the old Battery is as q portion of the
citys defences. The park suggestion is a
good one, but the money for the lots would
just now be very useful to the city. The
quarterly report Of the Public Works De-
partment shows large decrease Of expendi-
lures and commendable economy.

Virginians . New Party Move

Our Richmond correspondent reports that
in Virginia the people are more ready to dis
solve the old party organizations and form
new ones than the politicians of either side.
This we can readily believe. He adds that
the Southern policy of President Hayes has
won the gratitude and confidence Of the mass
Of the white voters who have hitherto acted
with the democratic party, and that while
State issues may for the present hold the old
parties together there is an impression
among shrewd men that so far as federal
politics are concerned parties in Virginia
will hereafter divide as administration and
anti-administration. The conversations he
reports with a prominent politician of each
party show what the leaders think and
fear, and they give a hint, too, Of
what is likely to be one of the prominent
Southern questions" in tho future-a de-
mand for internal improvements at the
expense of the government. We suspect
that in most of the Southern States the
''new party" when it arises, will march
under the old 'internal Improvement" BAN

this subject, which he has not yet disclosed,
will be eagerly looked for in the South by
o multitude of voters and variety of infu-
entail leaders. Meantime it is pretty clear
that in Virginia, as in North Carolina and
Louisiana, there is just now very little party
feeling. The people are taking rest from
politics, and the politicians themselves, de-
prived of their former battle cries and
stock grievances, are also standing around
and waiting. The Presidents happy
thought to delay the extra session until the
middle of October will continue this gen.
eral lull in politics for six months longer, and
in that time many passions will have time
to calm down and many prejudices will dis

About Eggs.

The Egg bill has passed the Assembly and
providing for the sale of eggs by weight, for
nearly every bill that originates in our
model Legislature has an ''egg" in it for the
Legislative nest. If the Governor, after sic
ting in judgment upon the bill, should think
proper to hatch it into law, it will give
general satisfaction. The Assembly debate
elected the fact that the honest farmers who
keep hens pass the eggs through a sieve be-
fore they send them to market, keeping all
the large ones for themselves and selling the
small ones only. The process of sorting
goes OH through three or four hands, until
the poor woman who goes to the grocery
with her basket gets very diminutive eggs
for her money. To be sure, we can see
some difficulties in the way of the
law. If o small purchaser wants six
ounces of eggs, and three weigh either a
little over or a little under that weight, how
is the difference to be made up? Then,
again, poor family Of twelve persons may
want on egg apiece; but in buying pound
and half they may get only nine or ten
large eggs, and there, will be difficulty
about the division. There will be heaps Of
trouble among female boarding house keep
ers, too, should they get less instead OF
more than twelve eggs for the price by
weight of dozen. However, the bill is, on
the whole, good one, especially in view of
the foul tricks of the farmers.
