Another Ocean Steamer Wrecked.

The French steamship Amerique,
from Havre for New York, went ashore
last Sunday morning, three miles north
of Long Branch, N. J. All on board
with the exception of three of the crew
captain ordered a small boat WIFI a
crew Of eleven men, to convey informa-
tion to the shore and obtain assistance.
The ship was only seventy yards from
the beach. The'boat struck the beach
but was upset by floating ice and three
of the crew were lost. The crew from
IL life-saving station succeeded in throw
ing a line to the ship, and by the aid
of the crew of the Amerique, a life car
was 500 drawn on board and all pas.
sengers were landed. All mails and
specie were safely landed. The vessel
lies well up on the beach and it is
thought will be high and dry at low
tide.

Affairs in Europe.

Germany is purposing to mibolize
two army corps for the purpose OF
watching the Polish frontier. This is
in accordance with a statement made
some time ago, that in event of war,
Germany would aid Russia by taking
care of Poland. Perhaps a more signi-
fcant statement is that Austria is col
Letting munitions of war at Semlin,
opposite Belgrade, preparatory to seizing
the Servian capitol in event of Russian
occupation of Roumania.
1t is announced that Sir Edward
Thornton, British Minister to the
United States is to replace Sir Henry
G.. Elliott at Constantinople.

Important to Mining Litigants.

Secretary Chandler's recent decision
in the Lost Chance, Utah mining case,
carries still further the important
principle announced lately in the case
of King Of the West Lode. The de-
partment now fully decides that the
General Land Office cannot in any way
Gust the jurisdiction of the courts,
Willie adverse claims are prosecuted
with reasonable diligence; but must
await their final decision in every point
involved, regardless Of any abandonment
of u portion of the surface ground in
conflict. This materially changes the
practice Of the Office and is of great
importance to all mining litigants.

The Metropolitan Press on the Political
Situation.

Last Sundays New York papers have
the following political notes:
The Sun tells the Senate committee
to go ahead with its investigations
respecting the use of money in elections;
no matter what the facts are the coun-
try wants them.
The Tribune says: "Oregon is a long
way of, but it is too near to be a safe
grave yard for political crimes. Cronin
has started back with his nose from
Washington, but his mileage is not
with him. A few days ago several in
discreet Democratic editors remarked
that Morton is laboring hard to find
something rotten in Oregon; he seems
to have been successful in finding dis
tinct deposits of rottenness, one in Ore
gon and n in Liberty street, connec-
ted with each other by telegraph
wire"
The Times says editorially: "We
are just learning something of the de-
tails Of Democratic scheming in Ore
gon, by which confidential advisors and
agents of Tiden hoped to get the cleo
toral vote against the acknowledged
will of the people of the State. The
governor of the State, at first reluctant
to act in q fraud so barefaced, is per-
suaded by arguments +. ON headquarters.
The Democratic elector who is to take
chief part in the plot, is paid for his
trouble by money from New York.
Other sums are traced from the hank
ers of Tilden's a~djustants, to Demo-
cratic managers in Oregon. The plan
is laid with the utmost caution, and is
carried out to the letter, and it is only
Its stupidity, and by no means its want
of bad intent, Which prevents it from
bringing about a great offence against
the voters Of Oregon and the people of
the country. The Democratic policy in
Oregon is of a piece with the chicanery
practiced in Louisiana.

The Cincinnati Commercial says: A
blind tramp was restored to sight at
Erie, Pennsylvania, by a thorough
washing, administered at the Aims
house. He will probably sue the city
for infiicting a cruel and unusual pun
ishment.

of any other in the year, in which all per-
sons doing business in the county requiring
q license for legally conducting it are ia
tere5tsd, SO far as the procurement from the
Grand Jury of permission TO obtain license is
concerned. Several persens we know were
prohibited from entering into business on ac-
count of failure to obtain the consent OF the
Grand Jury to grant them license last year
Al in need OF license should not fail to make
an early application.
Al present il is thought the coming Term

criminals are lying in Jail awaiting trial
There are also several cases removed from

Civil Rights on the Rail.--It will be
remembered that in June last crowd Of col
ored people belonging to several secret organ
izations of Washington and Baltimore visited
this town to join in an annual celebration
with the colored people here. Upon their ex-
clusion from certain cars on their return home
their dignity was insulted aud ire aroused
and they entered suit against the company.
The Baltimore Gazette has the followiug
''The case Of William II. Wood and seven
teen other colored men VS.. the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company, to recover $500 each
for alleged violation Of the act Of Congress Of
1875 by not providing them with the same ac-
commodation on the Metropolitan branch rail-
way as was extended 10 white persons on the
9Th OF June, l776, were called up in the Uni
ted States District Court Tuesday last. BY
agreement of counsel the trial was deferred 10
Monday 10Th instant. The plaintiffs alleged
that they were placed in baggage car.
THE defendant claims that since the first
civil-rights bill passed years ago there has not
been the slightest distinction made by the COM
pany between white and colored persons, but
that the sirictest orders have been issued that
the company, as Il common carrier OF passen-
gers, would treat all alike, without dlstlnc-

There was an agreement made that when the

hand sufficient cars to accommodate them: IN
addition to the regular travel. Without any
notice whatever large number went to the
station at Rockville TO take the regular moru-

cars One of them WAS the ordinary passen-

cellaneous crowd was pressing for this car one
of the train hands locked the door, telling the
crowd to take the forward car. As soon as
the crowd of people was seated the door was
unlocked and both cars thrown open to white
and black alike There were in the rear car
several colored persons, and ii was so crowded
that several white persons, among them ladies,
were compelled to stand
