THE LOST POMMERANIA.

THE CAPTAINS SAFETY CONFIRMED.
THE NUMBER OF LOST AND MISSING REDUCED BY
LATER INfOaMirION-NoNE OF THE CAPTAINS
FAMILY on BOARD.
The good news of Captain Schwensep's
safety is fully confirmed. After being in the
water about three-quarters of an hour, he
was picked up by life-boat from the City
of Amsterdam and is now at Rotter-
dam suffering from nervous prostration
Neither his wife nor any of his chill
dren were on board the lost steamer
The number of persons lost fortunately
turns out to be less than was at
first supposed. 1t appears from the lists
below, in which all information attanable
has been embodied, that of the Dassen-
gers and officers, eighteen were GER
tanly lost and twenty-four are missing.
Three sailors are also unaccOunted for.
Among the lost are Mrs. Clymer, her son
Richard, her daughter Maria, and Mr.. Lucke
and family These were in the boat which
was swamped by being overloaded.
CAPTAIN SCHWENSEN AT ROTTERDAM.
HE BRAVE COMMANDER CONSIDERABLY SHAKEN
RESCUED AFTER BEING NEARLY AN HOUR IN
THE WATER.
ROTTERDAM, Wednesday, Nov II, 1879
Captain Schwensen left the port of Maasuis lm-
mediately for this city, where he is now under med
zeal treatment, his nervous system being strongly
affected. He visitors, and refrains from con-
versation. The captain ofthe City of Amsterdam,
the vessel which rescued Captain Schwensen, says
Monday night was very dark. When the Pommer-
anna was off FOlkestone, Captain Schwensen left
the bridge for moment, but the moment he felt
the shock he returned to the bridge: he cannot
well recolect the subsequent events. The City OF
Amsterdam, which passing at the time, heard
cries for help, but could see nothing Nevertheless
she lowered her life-boats which found Captain
Schwensen floating on piece of wood. 1t was then
about 12:45 o'clock. Captain Schwensen's watch
had stopped at 12l5 O'clock.

The standard remedies for all
diseases of the lungs are ScHENK's PUIMo-
MIC SYRUP, SCHENCK's SEA WEED TONIC,
and SoHEScK's MANDRAKE Pills, and If
taxed before the lungs are destroyed they
effect speedy cure. To these medicines
DR.. j. HI. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes
his uurivalled success in the treatment of
pulmonary disease. The Pulmonic Syrup
ripens the morbid matter in the lungs,
nature throws it off by an easy expectora-
ton, and the patient has relief from the
Frustrating cough. The Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to cleanse and stimu-
late the stomach and liver; they remove
ell Instructions, relax the gall bladder
and start the bile freely, and the liver is
soon relieved. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
is a gentle stimulant and Alternative; the
alkaIi of which il is composed mixes with
the food and prevents souring. 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to
a healthy condition, so that the food and
the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood
then the lungs heal, and the patient will
surely get we'll If care is taken to avoid
fresh cold. Full directions accompany
each preparation. All who wish to con-
suit DIR. Schenck personally, can do so at
his principal office, corner of Sixth and
Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday.

vice, answered free of charge.
Schenck's Medicines are gold by all

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Few men of this day have exhibited
as much pluck and enterprise in bust
ness as DR., Tut, of New York, the
proprietor of TUFTS Liver Pills. In a
few years he has built up a business OF
vast proportions and made his name a
household word all over the land, ADJ
vertising agents say that he has paid
the press this year over one hundred
thousand dollars, and that the demand
for his medicines is numerous, both in
foreign countries and at home. The
New York papers report the shipment
from that port in one day of a ''ton OF
TUFTS Pills" Think OF it: f,oo fhonsan

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON CITI,
Jan. 20. 1873.

Jan. 20, 1873.
Mr.. Editor-Mr. Madison was regar-
ded as an honest statesman, not stoop-
ing or bending to save party, although
sincere in his convictions that the lead
ing measures of the democratic party of
his day were best adapted to the good
of the people.
Mr.. Hayes can draw moral support
from his example, for We believe MIR.
Hayes is disposed TO be honest, and has
not quickly forgotten his inaugural in
vocation to the Supreme Power to give
him wisdom to guide-as is patent
corrupt-nation. He could with great
prspriety have enlarged in that prayer,
by asking that same power to aid him
by imbuing the corelative and subordi-
nate branches of the government with
fairness and honesty.
| have been singularly impressed in
my recent intercourse with the legisla-
tive and executive branches TO find such
unfair and dishonest practices as the fol-
lowing to exist: A committee in Con-
gress has referred to it the claim of
citizen, thoroughly and fairly prouen,
yet through prejudice, parsimony, or
selfish design to create the impression
upon the public mind Of great caution
and protection of the public's interest,
they cut it down fifty per cent, and ar
bitrarily say to the individual, "take
this or nothing" This practice will
lead to endless strife, for the ms must
come out, and the outs will renew their
efforts to obtain their clearly proven
rights. As committee men are acting
in the double capacity of jurors and
Legislators, they should exercise the
very highest wisdom, broadest liberality
and most exact circumspection, so as in
protecting the government they do not
do injustice to the citizen,an no discus
sion should be INDUCED in by commit
tee men except as to the character OF
the evidence before them.
The following remarkable endorse
ment fell under my observation upon
claimants application to receive his
claim, which was made by the Quarter
master General: II have no objection
to the pap,rs in this case being shown
to the claimant or his attorney, ercepi
correspondence as 10 loyalty" This is
a palpable violation of one OF the most
-! sacred, constitutional, as well as natural
| rights of the citizen, and the govern
ment officer who encourages or connives
at this snbrosa espionage should himself
be summarily dismissed the service.
One OF the clearest principles Of our
common law is that the accused shall
be confronted by his accusers, and to
have the right to know of what he is
accused, and to have the right to be
heard upon the accusation; yet here IS
death bow struck by an assassin and be
is to be shielded by the archives of the
government. This is too grave mat
ter to be passed by unnoticed, and we
hope it will be agitated until it shall re-
ceive correction. This question OF 10y
atty is very different in its legal aspect,
from that suggested by party asperity,
and should be very cautiously dealt
with. In fact it is hard to determine
what strictly is disloyalty in a conteder-
ate government.
