Dreadful ShiDvreCk.

BosToN, Feb. u "A letter itc,ved from
the captain Of the American schooner +. K.
Mcdonald siys that CO his outward ras-
sage he fell 10 wi The wreck Of the
British bark Maria, having 90 board two SUR.
7ivors of crew o! fourteen lneo, the others
having persisted from exposure and famine.
The wn men we're taken 90 board the s;hoon-
er, but oue Of them dird in four hours from the
time of the rescue. From The s1le survivor it
Was aScertained that the bark sprung leak 10
gale and filed with water, 81 that it was ion
possible to save any provisions or fresh water.
The lumber, with which the vessel was loaded,
prevented her from sinking, but the weight of
the mas,s turned the vessel Oh her beam ends
until the masts broke away, when she righted,
aud the men regsned tho deck. Having 90
food or water, however, they began 10 die of
starvation, and as soon as one died the rest SUBJ
sisted upon the dead body. and so on uDtiI only
two were left. The survivor says that only
small portions Of the dead bodies could be cat
en-. No one was killed, but the moment ono
died the survivors cut the throat of the de-
ceased and drank the blood, and then divided
the heart and brains. 1t was thirty two days
from the time the disaster occurred until the

TIE SITUATION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l--l2 III. Things 10
day lock very much as they have for the pas;
few days. The vo!c5 ni the democrats upon
the technical objections II the eligibility OF
electors, show that, notwithstanding the want
cf conformity 10 the letter and spirit OF The law,
yet they are unwilling to take any advantage
to thwart the will OF the people, as expressed
through the ballot box. Their acl0n IS 10
strong contrast with that Of their opponents III
this particular, Tor the latter have to resort TO
distortion Of facts az well as law, and to all
kinds OF tcchnica,ics 10 attain their object.
An impression made upon some in these DIS
patches that the Louisiana delegation were ior
throwing obstacles 10 the way OF the speedy
prosecution Of the electoral count is Incorrect.
On the other hand the Louisiana members are
uuwiiliag that anything like fNbusterlng should
be counlcuapced, for while they are under The
woke" .hny do not desire to involve the coun.
try in strife aud disorder merely III their be-
half. In this connection it is whispered that
while Hayes may not directly acknowledge
Nichols in Louisiana and Hampton in South
CaroIiua, yet he will leave those States to take
care of their own internal affairs, which means
virtually to conocde the control to the demo
Gratis.
