Senator Pendleton Heard From

senator Pen0ietOn heard FROM.
The irrepressibIe George Alfred
Townsend, who, since his success in
drawing out Senator Conkling last
Fall, deserves the title of the champi-
on interviewer of America, has visit
ed Mr.. Pendleton amid the scholarly
surroundings of his home near Cincin
natl. The conversation he reports is
calculated to give people good Opin-
ion of our coming Senator's political
sense and patriotism, and to dissipate
the somewhat prevalent notion that he
is cut off from the same piece as the
ordinary Western Democratic dema-
gogues, who fill the halls of legislation
with sound and fury. Mr.. Pendleton
speaks with the utmost frankneSs of
the Potter Investigation. ut is evil
counsel and unnecessary procedure" "
he says; "it is dangerous, too. The
declaration is made that they only
desire to expose the fraud, not to pun
ish the President. But the one thing
precipitates the other. To get up as
much commotion as possible and stop
there is hardly in the limitations OF
agitation. If the President is exposed
in fraud his impeachment and reno
val follows. Therefore, the first step
is half the journey, and l cannot ap-
preciate the good sense or party sense
which committed Congress to that &C.
tion."
OF Mr.. Hayes the eSenator-elect speaks
with cordial good feeling. He thinks
him incapable of any villainy in get.
ting the Presidency. "Mr. Hayes has
lived under our eyes in Cincinnati
many years." he says; sand while he
has had great good luck it has been
the result of fair dealings. In the
Presidency his firmness of character
and uuassHming consistency have
gained respect. I did not think he
could stand firm in the midst of Re
publican mutiny and Democratic at
tacK as he has DONE"
The investigating movement Mr.
Pendleton regards as gross blunder
Before it was begun the Democratic
party stood in a superb position
lsHaving yielded Presidency which
Ithree-fOurths of the American people
believed to belong to u.s." Mr.. Pendle
ton says 1--WE were in high confidence
as patriotic party. Many thousand
lOI up
minds to vote with US in 1880, in or
der to be rid of the vices of long ten
ure of power by one party. The con
cession we made in seating Hayes wa
sacrifice that fully re established ou
nationality as party. 1t required NJ
( great vaunting on our part TO keel
, that sacrifice conspicuous. The Potte
committee is a reputation of thoe
modest but powerful Claims"
The Investigation, Mr.. Pendletol
fears, will smirch both ways. The ex
act facts of the election can only be in
t ferred. They have been probed whel
} the events were fresh, and evidence a
! this late day will have the staleness Q
! an afterthought. He thinks the move
) ment will bring Grant PROMINENT,
, forward as the Republican candidate il
} 1880, and fears that once in the Whit
] House asain he will never leave it un
: til taken out feet foremost. Tilden'
t prospects are not improved by reopen
l ing the electoral wrangle. "He wa
/ the injured party before, strong in hi
( wrongs. Now he appears in the ligh
> of fomenter and disturber."

A Fearful Disaster.

The monster iron-clad ships-of-war
of European nations have so far de-
veloped capacity chiefly for being
dangerous to the officers and men who
navigate them. The capsizing of the
Captain off Cape Finisterre, the col
lision between the Vanguard aud the
Rupert, the explosion of the boilers OF
the Thunderer and the destruction Of
the Turkish vessels Oh the Danube by
Russian torpedOes make a shocking
list of catastrOphes to such ships during
the past few years, and now we have
to add the running down of the Great
Elector by the King William, which
occurred in the English Channel, Fri
day, in full sight of land. The cable
dispatches tell the story of how anoth
or great armored vessel has become an
iron coffin for hundreds of brave men,
The three ships of the German squad
ron were passing out of the channel on
their way to the Mediterranean when
the calamity occurred. They were the
Preussen, the King William and the
Grosser Kurfurst (Great Elcctor, three
of the best ships of the German Navy
The last named was turret ship. con
structed after the model of the British
iron'cIad Monarch, which brought
George Peabody's remains to this
country and laid for a short time in An
napolis Roads. The Preussen was 8
sister ship, and the King William
which did the damage, was one of the
old fashioned broadside iron 'clads
very long and very heavy, and prob
ably also very unwieldy in manage
ment. The kilograms relate that the
Great Elector seemed to be keeling
slowly over on her beam ends. Thi:
would be very natural from the i'm
pact of the King William, which ha,
the greater displacement of about three
thousand tons, and consequently would
strike with a momentum that the
lighter craft could not resist. TO ado
/ to the horror, the boilers of the sink
ing ship exploded as she went down
and thus the loss Of life was swelled.
