PACIFIC COASI.
The Georgia Inyesttvafio,,.

SAN FEANcrsco, Oct 31.-In the inyestiga-
ton of the circumstances attendant upon the
loss of the steamer Georgia, the first witness
examined to-day was Il. Hennessy, purser
of the Georgia His testimony was to the
general effect that the captain and officers of
the ship were attentive to their duties, and
that the charge of drunkenness against the
captain was unfounded. Herman j. Bern
hardt, steerage passenger, was next called,
and testified to the presence Of lady cabin
passenger in the captains room about the
time the ship struck, and the intoxication of
the captain. But his testimony was in many
respects SO loose and contradictory as to
raise serious question as to its real value
He stated that the other officers were all
right, with the exception of the surgeon. who
INDUCED in abusive language to passengers
while preparations were being made to
abandon the ship. but on reaching the shore
he changed his manner and subsequently
conducted himself properly. He also testi-
fed that due care was taken to insure the
safety Of life and property, and comfort OF
passengers subsequent to the accident.

Judging Dram Horses.


We deem this good time to enter q
protest against the prevailing custom Of
Judging draft horses IN the show-rlng
mainly with reference to weight as one
would Judge group OF rat oxen prepar-
cd Tor the butchers block. In the latter
case, the quantity and quality Of the
meat are the primary considerations;
but we fail to see why such test should
be applied to the former. We don't
eat horsenesh IN TINS country, conse-
quently more weight OF carcass Is OF no
value except as It gives greater ability to
draw a heavy load; and II this weight
be made SIMPLY OF an accumulation OF
adlpose tissue lfatl, 1t Is positive cum
prance rather than help, and should be
Judged accordingly.
There can be no question that size is
an important feature in draft horse
but to be Of value, the desired weight
must be made up of other tissues than
fat. Bone and muscle must form an
important part in making up thisweight;
and even. here we cannot depend upon
the tape line nor the scales to make an
award. The quality Of each is vital
consideration. If the indications are
that the bony tissue is of a soft, spongy,
porous nature: if the joints are gummy
and defective, or the muscles fabby and
ill-placed; the hoofs, fiat and brittle are
too much contracted; or if the disposi-
ton be sluggish and dull, ike that Of an
OK, no amount of mere weight should be
permitted to atone for such serious de-
fects.
A good draft horse must possess very
strong vital organs, which fact is usually
indicated by the form and relative size
of the trunk. His joints and legs must
be strong and perfect, free from curbs
and spavins, the skin lying close and
firm to hard and elastic cords, with an
entire absence of "beef" upon those
parts The feet should be large, neither
flat nor mule-shaped, the horn hard and
elastic, but not brittle. The bottom
OF the foot shonld be examined to see
that 1t possesses the desired concave APP
pearance, and that the nog does Its
work perfectly, because 1t Is N the feet
that our heavy draft horses are most no
toriously defective AS we have sald IN
former number OF the journal The
prlnclpal requisite OF q good draft horse
Is, good size, made up without 9 super

LONDON, Oct. 31.-A cabinet council was
held yesterday. The Post announced in
semi-oficial form that it has been decided to
send the ultimatum to the ameer before pro-
ceedlng to Interior measures. 1t is not,
however, probable that he will avail himself
OF the last chance. Relative to the general
aspect of affairs it is not unlikely that Lord
Beaconsfeld, at the Lord Mayor banquet on
November 9th, may be able to speak of the
future with satisfaction and confidence. All
the morning Journals agree that the govern
ment has decided to give the ameer last
chance, The Standard believes the cabinet,
yesterday, decided to require from all con-
cerned strict and literal observance of the
Berlin treaty.
dispatch from Simla states England's
ultimatum will summon the ameer to give
guarantees for future good understanding.
1t is not thought the ultimatum will cause
any delay, as the answer of the ameer mus

WASHINGTON, October 31.-The German
American National Bank, which grew out of
the German-American Savings Bank, and
occupied the same building, suspended this
morning. The German-American Savings
Bank has also closed its doors and put up
the following notice: "Owing to the sus-

Bank this bank is forced to close" Officials
of the savings bank declare their institution
is sound. Both banks are owned and patron
lied principally by Germans, and the sus-
pension causes much surprise. Excited

The Fitz John Porter Case.

CLOSING TESTIMONY.
The case of FitZ John Porter was resumed
at West Point yesterday. Lieutenant Colonel
T. c. II. Smith, of Washington, army pay
master, testified that in August, 1862, he was
charge of all the confidential dispatches be-
tween General Pope and the government, As
TO the character Of the night Of the 9th, wit
was an ordinarily bright night though the
early part of it was verv dark. He had him
SELF started out with small force of cavalry
by order, to meet Porter. expecting him to
leave at the same time, but it was four hours
before the head of the Fifth corps Portersl
came up The ecroSs-examination on this point
s, elected the admission that in these four
hours he only travelled about four miles.
and then not on the same road trav-
eled by General Porter, and so could not say
what the Instructions on that road were With
regard 70 lAe witness Interview with Porter
On the 18th, When, as previously given in his
evidence, he saw treason lurking in POrter'S
eye" there was considerable discussion, in
volvlng objections and some evidences of
feeling. The witness had to be checked by
the court, and answered several times with
some acrimOny. The chief result was that he
admitted that he called Porter a traitor
ing it, and after being "snubbed" by Pope, as
he expressed it. Witness was now satisfied
that when he gave his evidence at the court
martial in 1862, in regard to Porter's failure to
obey the 4:30 p. m order, he was mistaken in
the position OF the troops, and that it would
have required at least two hours for the order

Gen. RuggleS, POpe'S chief of staff, denied
Longstreets testimony as to his position, say
ing that he saw the grounds which LOngstreet

the pamphlet entitled "A Brief Statement of
the Case OF General Porter which has been
extensively cIrcu ated, and which purpOrtS to
port OF his operations on the 29th of August in
1ustlhcation OF Pope's assertions, witness de-
clared that he showed to Gen. Pope that the
extract in question related to the Both of
August aud not the 18th, and protested against
the circulation OF the pamphlet as untrue The
testimony here closed for the present. After
