AN OCEAN HoRRoR. Coos Bay
Me,rs, published at Marshfsld, Ore
gon, in its issue of the 18th gives,
the following report from the cap
tain of the schooner Parallel, which
arrived at that port July 18th,
from San Francico: The schooner
Parallel, ON the 7th inst, in latitude
80 deg. AZ min., longitude 13O deg.
26 min, ut A. NJ, sighted junk,
or Japanese vessel, adrift. A boat
was lowered and the strange vessel
boarded. when terrible sight met
the boarders. Not a living soul was
aboard, but O number of corpses of
Orientals who had probably been
dead at least a month. There was
no food aboard, and some of the
bodies had been shackled together,
doubtless having been crazed for
want of food or water and fastened
by their comrades. Finally doubt
less all died of starvation. Some of
the bodies were we'll dressed, aud a
lot of fine silk ladies' wearing ap-
parel was brought off the wreck by
the sailors, all made up in Oriental
style. The stencil of decaying
bodies was such as to prevent a
thorough inspection of the vessel ;
but o lot of Japanese writing is in
possession of Capt, Nelson, which
may throw some light on the SUBJ
iect.

KNITTING WORK.

The tolls Of the day were all ended.
Another sat down Ia rest;
Each tired little darling was sleeping.
Safe wrapped In its own warm nest.
The mother took up her knitting.
For the thought Of eight tiny feet.
Now wanting the lambs-wOOl stockings,
Gave speed to her fingers fleet.
She scanned, and narrowed, and winded.
And turned the heel and the toe,
OF stopping the while to measure,
And sec 1t get shape and grow.
Now these must finish for Jamie,
And they will fit him complete,
He needs them much larger this winter,
To cover his plump little feet.
The next pair shall be for wee Emma,
I'll work at them early and late,
For when they are finished I've others
To knit for my Jennie and Kate.
Thus her thoughts kept pace with her
While tie stocking flew round and
And she felt that no happier mother
Could In the world be found.
Then sAo looked away in ths future.
And unused 0fa time to come,
When those eight little feet grow strong
Would 90 out from the shelter Of home.
And her heart grew Rad with its musing,
A. she knit on that winters night,
And she prayed for true wisdom from
heaven,

True to life is the following from

itstingly deposit it in the back yard,
and observe that We will never use i
again. But the blood has hardly
dried on tho rag before We are in
search OF the same hammer again,
and ready to make another trial.
The result rarely varies. but ~

The National Detective Corps.

Hon. FERNANDO WooD Is q victor. He has
succeeded, by attaching himself to the tail Of
Mr.. GLovER's kite, in becoming chief Of the
National Detective Police, which is about being
organized by that gentleman. Mr.. wooD can
be Of infinite service to Mr.. GLOVER on ac-
count Of his large experience as chief Of the
police Of the great city of New York, when he
was mayor Of that city many years ago. In
deed, Mr.. WooD became so efficient in that
capacity that he proposed to retain the place
by force after he had been legislated out of it
by the creation of the Metropolitan Board Of
Commissioners of Police, which was to act in
dependently of the mayor When the lats
Senator NYE and other members Of the COM
mission demanded the custody of the police
property and archives, Mr.. WooD declined to
yield to the mandates of State law. He in
duced the members of the police to adhere 10
his revolutionary views and back him in his
rebellion, until the appearance Of the Seventh
Regiment, National Guard. State militia
was marched to tho scene in front OF
the City Hall, and the mayor was assured
that force would be used to enforce
obedience to the laws of the State. Under
such persuasion Mr.. WooD on that occasion
gracefully yielded up the command of the
police of New York. He was then the great
defeated.
The resolution which has just passed the
House constitutes the committees of the
House into n sort of permanent grand inquest
or detective police of the nation. There Is no
direct warrant for this in the Constitution
The only authority for it is derived from pre-.
cedcnt and by implication. The powers OF
Congress are clearly and specifically defined in
the Constitution. That instrument does not give
any judicial or constabulary powers to either
House Of Congress, except in cases of iinpeach'
ment. 1t does not give either House the power
to punish any one except its own members
Tho practice of the House in cases Of i'm
peachment Is to inquire as to probable cause
through its Committee on the Judiciary. The
Constitution invests the judiciary with power
to make such inqucsts rs are authorized
by the resolutions just passed when
ever the proper iniorinations are. laid
before the officers of the courts. This action
OF the House may therefore not unreasonably
be considered as an usurpation of powers prop
erly belong to the judiciary. At all events, il
may be safely assumed that the House lose
very much of its dignity and of that states
manship which is supposed to find lodgment il
its composition by thus resolving eighteen o
its committees into rowing corps of detectives
fully authorized to hold starchanbcr session
of inquisitorial proceedings.

ment, and iftired and disgusted with the
world, even with the new party md his
policy he sighs and prays for, the nic baa of
the Buddhh Is, all he has to do is TO trans
port hims,lft, the soul of DEvENs. We
sympathise deeply with the President. We
think we feebly apprehend the cruel dilemma
under which he labors. If Providence had
cast our lot in such field and would not
listen to suggestions Of suicide or home in
that turreted mansion across the Eastern
Branch, we really do not know what we
should do. As mild alternative we would
suggest the reti racy of Secretary McCRARY,
whose position must be uncomfortable to
himself and all parties, and also the retiracy
of DEvENs, who has undoubtedly gone
through enough transformations to entitle
him to niche in the CoRCoRAN gallery,
and the substitution of CANNON, Of Utah,
and the Count JOHANNES. The latter
could be used to offset and modify the head
Of the Interior Department, and so far as
the former is concerned it would be nothing
more than decent recognition Of the only
party in these United States whom the
President has not taken into his conf
dence.

political capital for his friend, we have but
little to do, and should not even have per-
mittcd his name to appear in these columns
had it not been for the active agency he
had in procuring this appointment. We
are accustomed TO having the Southern
Democracy bewail the interference of min
listers of the gospel with politics, yet when
Colonel PoTTs was an applicant for the
position Of postmaster at Petersburg, this
same ministerial friend, who now accom-
panies him to mi lger" church, from some
real or supposed influence with the powers
that be-" visited not only the head Of the
Post-Oftice Department but the President,
and urged the appointment Of his political
and personal friend and, if apparently we'll
founded report be true, went beyond what
the facts would justify, in stating that the
colored people were not only willing but
anxious for the appointment Of his friend
PORTS. In thus adverting to this ministerial
phase of the subject, we are but commend
ing to the lips Of the Democracy the chalice
they have so often sought to apply to Others
and if this ministerial functionary and his
protege, the incompatible PorTs, do not de-
sire to find themselves advertised in the
papers they will abstain in future from
ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain"

Major T.. q. BARKER.

1t is rumored upon apparently good author
ity that Major T. G. BARKER, Of Charleston
S. C., will be appointed United States District
Attorney for that State, vice NoRTHRoP,
whom the Senate has as yet failed to confirm.
BARKER's antccedents are not of the most
loyal character, In February, 1875, the Wash
ington Light Infantry, of Charleston, gave a
banquet, to which they invited the "Old
Guard" of New York. General HAMPTON
was invited to deliver the address of welcome,
of sickness. T. G.. BARKER was then deputed
to deliver the address, instead Of
HAMPTON, and his remarks were so
offensive TO tho "Old Guard" that
they left the hall of their hosts in disgust. 1t
will be remembered that BARKER was in com.
mand of the rifle clubs at Charleston during
the election riots there last year. When the
negroes were being shot down in scores by the
White-Lincrs, BARKER declined to interfere,
stating that a little blOod-lctting was what the
Radicals deserved. BARKER is just the man
to please the reform" Cabinet, and his ap,
pointment will serve rs an encouragement tC
the rising generation in South Carolina tC
emulate his example. While We are not with.
out the hope that Mr. NORTHRoP may yet bt
confirmed we feel that 1t is due to the Presi
dent that he should be wcll.informed as to tn,
record and character of those who apply tC
succeed him.

The Ohio Senatorship.

The struggle is over. The Democrats Of
Ohio have selected Senator to gil the seat
in the Senate now occupied by Hon. STAN
LEY MATTHEWS and, under all existing
circumstances, the result is not one that we
feel called upon to regret. The great State
Of Ohio has been sadly debauChed politi-
cally. The fair places Of the Republican
party have been laid waste, and the Demo-
erats have overrun the State with their dam
aging heresies until its Legislature has the
power to send Democrat to the United
States Senate. This is the result of the
follies and mistakes of the Republicans,
and it is the part of philosophy to submit
10 il with becoming grace.
The struggle was short, sharp and deci-
sive"-only three ballots being taken, when
GEORGE II. PENDLEToN was declared duly
nominated. Six candidates were entered
for the race, Messrs PENDLEToN, EWING,
MORGAN, WARD, PAYNE, and CONVERSE.
Forty-six votes being necessary to choice
on n full vote, and Mr. PENDLETON was
bonored with forty votes OF the first and
ffty-One on the last ballot, when he was de-
elared the nominee. much worse result
than this could have been attained. Mr.
PEHDLETON is an old and representative
Democrat, gentleman in every sense ofthC
term, and statesmNn of n high order oi
ability; and, rs Democrat, must fill the
position, he will prove as acceptable IA
any one of that stripe. The position belong
legitimately TO the Republican party, bu
rs it has trihed away the opportunity, il
must submit to the result and eat humble
pie as the penalty of its folly and neglect o
duty

Governor Vance and Freedom.

THE Raleigh (N. c. Observer asks if we
will be kind enough to give our authority
for the statement that Governor VANCE in
formed the colored people Of that State that
he had no sympathy with them in their
freedom, as it was secured by unconstitu-
tional means. Most certainly. The speech
made by Governor VANCE to the colored
militia on the occasion of their commemora-
ton of their emancipation from slavery, rs
reported and published, fully justifies the
Interpretation we gave to his utterances.
If that speech means anything it means
just what we imputed to IL, or we fail to
understand the import of the English Ian
so many words that he "cherishes any de-
sign to re-enslave the negroes" but he did
denounce, or we entirely fail to comprc-
hend his language, the constitutional
amendment that secured freedom to the
colorcd man as an unconstitutional measure.
This being true in his view of the case, the
negroes have not, under his judgment, any
guarantee of freedom. The time has not
yet comtto make an effort TO re-enslave the
colored citizen, but if the law of emancipa-
ton is unconstitutional, as Governor VANCE
holds, the time may come, and the colored
man has no security that it will not come,
when he will be re-enslayed. We intended
in what we said on this subject in n former
article to represent the position OF Governor
VANCE honestly and squarely, and we
think we have done so. We certainly have
no desire or purpose to do otherwise at any
| time
National Republican., 1878-01-12
Mr.. HInir's Crunnd de.

1t is quite evident now that MONTGOMERY
BLAIR opened his campaign against the
Presidents title to Office without an army
TO sustain him, or much ammunition out
side that required to charge his RoDMAN
gun that was fired at the opening of the
Maryland Legislature. At all events the
war does not " come up to the high-sound-
ing phrase Of the manifesto" The first lire
of his artillery has resOunded throughout
OF favorable echoes to his report the result
shows that the discharge of his gun has had
the effect to irightcn the Democratic party
much more than TO hurt the President
Thus far the evidence is very strong that
Mr. BLAIR either discharged his gun q little
too soon, or without the slightest assurance
of aid from his party in his performance
His movement is denounced by some politi-
cal friends as a grievOus blundeT, and now
the idea is secuted by them that he repre-
sents anybody but himself in his Presiden-
tial tdWr pdmr.
Thus will end remarkable instance OF
artillery practice on private account. No
body dumagad unless it is him at the
breech OF the gun, and I've no doubt stands
in the midst OF his own smoke, possessed OF
the idea that he has demolished almost
everybody else hut himself. The majority
in Congress shrug their shoulders iu signili-
can't contempt at the nonsense perpetrated
and propose to leave the hero of the affair
alone in his glory, There will be no inves'
tigation of the election that led TO the choice
of President HAYES, nor of the proceedings
Of the electoral commission through which
that election has been declared valid, 1t
will all end in smoke.

A ROOrbaek Explssion.

We state, upon the highest authority, that
ths sensational rumor put snoat yesterday
that Hon. CARL scnuRz had rendered his
resignation as Secretary of the Interior, for
sandry silly and imaginary reasons given, is
. sheer cdnard. The Secretary AYERS that
he has not written his resignation, and
hence has not called on the President with
Il; and what is more, he has not as yet
even contemplated such an act. Thus per-
ishcs another bubble that is composed OF
soap-suds and wind.
