WASHINGTON.
The Daily Budget from the
Capital.
Senator Patterson - Moore's Matter =
Confederate Gold.

Washington, Jan. 5.-There is no
longer any doubt but that intimations
have been made to Senator Patterson
that if he wishes to avoid being tried
for offenses charged against him in
South Carolina he had better resign his
seat in the Senate. Patterson's son
circulates the story this morning that
his fathers health is such that he will
not he able to take his seat in the Sen
ate for several weeks. This is not true,
however, as the physicians assert posi-
lively that with proper care he can at
tend to his official duties within short
time. The Senator, however, is desir-
Gus of leaving the city for few weeks,
and the doctors will not offer any OBJ
jections to this. A good many Repub-
licans believe it is Patterson-s intention
to resign on the plea of ill-health, and
allow his seat to he filed by Il Demo-
crat.
Ex-special Agent W. b. Moore has
succeeded in obtaining the influence of
several prominent ntRepublicans whostand
well with the administration, and is
endeavoring to have his case reopened
and investigated, and if vindicated to
be restored to his former position.
The Richmond VA banks have re-
tained Col Robert G. Ingersoll as their
counsel before the House judiciary
committee to argue their claims for gold
bullion and other coin seized by the
Union army at the time of the capture
of Richmond, and which, it was claim
ed, belonged to the Confederate gov
ernment. When Andrew johnson was
President he directed the money TO be
returned to the banks, but Treasurer
Spinner, in whose custody it was, re-
fused to obey the request, and at his
instance joint resolution was then
passed by Congress covering the money
into the Treasury.
Exposition Echoes
Washington, Jan. 5.-By direction
of the President Lieut.. Alexander Rog-
ers, 4th Cavalry, has been detailed for
duty on the staff of Commissioner
General Mccormick, to represent the
Army at the Paris Exposition. A full
list of active and honorary commits
sioners will probably be decided upon
Monday. Consultations between Gov.
Mccormick, Secretary Evarts and the
President have already taken place on
the subject.

SWALLOWED BY THE SEA.
Wrecking of a Steamship ON the
Chilian Coast.
The Officers and Many of the Crew
Lost-Over One Hundred People
Drowned.
EXPLOSION OF A STEAMERS BOILER OFF
THE RHODE ISLAND COAST.

Panama, Dec. 25.-The Star and
Herald has a letter from Lima, giving
particulars of the loss of the steamer
Atacama, which went to pieces on the
rock known as Quiebra Olas, short
distance south of Caldera, on the
Chilian coast, on the night of the 30th
of November. Capt. Hall, the officer,
and many of the crew and passengers
were lost. In all it is estimated that
101 persons were drowned and 30 saved.
The ship was on trip from Val
paraiso to Callao. She struck at p.
m, when majority of the passengers
were below, and so instantaneous was
the breaking up of the ship that no
time was given TO gain the deck. The
cargo was lost, but was Of no great
value, and the passengers were mostly
Chilians journeying between the ports.
Mr.. Kennedy, agent for the Pacific
Steam Navigation Co., at Charnarale,
was returning from Valparaiso on his
wedding trip. He managed to fasten
life belt on his bride, and threw him
self with her into the water, but be-
fore they could extricate themselves
from the floating debris spar fell,
striking the lady on the neck, causing
instant death. The husband after
wards reached the shore, and the bride
was washed upon the beach.
The bodies of Capt. Lambert and of
the purser were recovered.
Later information says the passen-
gers numbered 54 and the crew 20. 1t
appears the shock burst certain pipes
connected with the boiler, and the
escape of steam, mixed with the Gin
ders, prevented anybody getting on
deck to lower the boats, with the aid of
which, and life-barges, all on board
might be saved. The total number
saved is 80.

New York, Jan. 5.-Nearly all the
counsel concerned in the Erie suit now
at argument before Judge Brady, were
present this morning except VIM. NJ.
Evarts, who finished his argument last
night. After some discussion between
the counsel as to the arrangements for
the hearing of these cases, Mcfarland,
counsel for the Erie railway, arose and
expressed his belief that counsel had
arranged to bring all these suits before
the emphatic remark that he disap-
proved of these selections of judicial
hoppers. For moment there was a
dead silence in court Counsel looked
at each other and then at Mcfarland,
who with folded arms stood before the
bench. Another instant, and half a
dozen counsel were on their feet, but
noticing that Judge Brady was deeply
affected, all sat down. Judge Brady,
with head bowed down, in so low
voice that much that he said was in
audible, said he felt wounded, and that
this was the first time such a remark
was ever made to him since he sat on
the bench. Mcfarland Immediately
apologized, saying he meant nothing
offensive, and the Judge merely replied:
''The apology is accepted" The end
of the matter was that Judge Brady
declared that he would not hear any of

MISSOURI.

st. Louis, Jan. 5.-On Wednesday
morning last, Maggie Gibbons, about
eighteen years old, died from the effect
of an attempted abortion. The coro-
ner has been examining the case for the
past two days, and this evening conclud
ed to swear out Il warrant against Chas.
Emmerich, as principal, and DIR. Jacob
F. Smith, as accessory, charging them
with manslaughter in the second degree.
Emmerich is proprietor of a laundry on
Sixth street, at which Miss Gibbons
worked, and the testimony before the
coroner's jury showed that he had been
intimate with her. and that he pro-
cured the instruments with which the
abortion was attempted. DIR. Smith
furnished the instruments at Emme-
rich's request; but there is nothing to
show that he had any direct connection
with the abortion.

The Rhode Island Disaster j..

Newport, R. l., Jan. 5.-When the
steamer Old Colony, from Fall River
for New York, was off Point Judith,
early this morning, with very high
sea running, and heavy gale prevail
ing, the flange. of the upper steam
chest, which connects the vertical
steam pipe running above the hurricane
deck, burst, breaking the pipe squarely
off, badly twisting the steam copper
pipe leading from the boiler, and throw
ing the smoke stack across the upper
deck. The startled passengers, of whom
there were rs, attempted to escape
from their rooms, but were driven back
by the steam and smoke, which filed
the cabins, and made their way on deck
through windows. Rockets were sent
up and the whistle was sounded, but no
assistance came. The boat fell into the
trough Of the sea and was swept by the
waves, making her position perilous. A
quantity of the cargo was thrown over
board, and finally, after drifting about
20 miles, wrecking company's steamer
hove in sight, got her hawser out, and
towed the disabled steamer to this port.
Only one passenger, a woman, was
scalded, but not fatally.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean, under the
heading "SchurZ Speaks" recently
printed the translation of an editorial
in the Westliche Post of st. Louis
Schurx's paper. This publication has
caused considerable comment in pa
pers throughout the East, and it seems
proper to state that the main points of
the editorial which the Inter Ocean
declares it has the very best evidence
came direct from Schurz, and was a
view of the future from the inside of
the Cabinet. 1t begins thus: "sWith-
out a party behind him the President
cannot make his administration sue
cess is a theme on which the regular
organs of both parties are ringing all
sorts of changes. This is especially as
serted by those Republicans who would
only too gladly make the President a
mere servant of the party leaders; but
these gentlemen understand neither the
times nor the tasks which the admins
tration has set itself to accomplish.
The people have very largely emanci-
pated themselves from party trammels.
Why this has been done is obvious. On
one side the mischievous and shame
less doings of the spoils-hunting poll
ticians, absolutely supreme in the con-
troll Of both parties, have deeply shocked
all respectable citizens and they Justly
refuse longer to follow such leaders.
On the other side, party lines have been
80 much obliterated, and there are so
few leading principles at issue that the
voter hardly knows which party really
represents what he has at heart. At
such time to say that the President
OF the whole country must have a
personal party behind him is extremely
ridiculous. But the tasks which the
administration has set itself, and that
only because it is independent of party
considerations and in sympathy with
the people and their wishes, show the
truth to be exactly the opposite of the
assertion quoted at the beginning"

Curious Proceedings In M Central
baptist Church In Nashville.
The Nashville American of The 7th
gives a full account Of the Stanley mat
ter, notice of which was published in
yesterdays LEDGER. The congregation
Of the Central Baptist church met in
regular monthly session Thursday night,
I. W. Haley being chairman and q. NJ.
Wood secretary.
After some matters Of minor import.
anee had been disposed of the trial of
zachariah 7. Stanley was declared to be
next in order. Upon the moderator
asking if he was present, Mr.. Stanley,
who was sitting in the rear Of the church,
arose and replied, II am here, and de.
sire to hear the charges read" The
secretary then read the charges pre-
ferred by Mr.. A. L. Griffin, charging Mr..
Stanley with violating the rules and
trampling upon and disregarding the
faith Of the Baptist church by having his
child baptized by a Catholic priest, on
April l4th. D. S Wright said that Stan.
ley had acknowledged to him that be had
his child baptized in the Catholic faith,
but at the time he did not think it
brought any reproach upon the church.
Mr., Stanley said that his child had been
baptized by a priest, and before it was
done his feelings had been consulted,
and he did what he thought his duty.
Jacob 0. Wright said that Stanley had
belonged to the Catholic Church, and
left 1t to become 6 member Of the Bsp-
fist Church; but, when his child was
taken sick, instead Of bringing it to his
friends and those who loved him, to the
pastor of his own church, be bad taken it
to a Catholic priest and had it baptized.
Stanley had said in public that he did it
ON purpose, and under the circum-
stances would do it again" Such a
man, he thought, ought not Il remain in
the church. BE therefore moved that
Stanley be expelled. Mr.. Stanley
promptly arose and seconded the motion
Of Mr.. Wright. John S. C. Davidson
said that it was the only case of the kind
that had ever come under his ebserva-
ton since he had been in the church.
He hoped he would never see another
such a case, and was OF the opinion that,
for the benefit Of the young members, it
should be thoroughly understood. L.
Gupton thought that a great sin had
been committed, and that everyone
should vote. He requested that a stand.
ing vote be bad. DR.. L. r. P'Pool, sug.
gested that the motion made BY Mr..
Wright be amended by using the word
withdrawn" instead Of expelled" DR..
pools motion failed for want of a
second, and upon a call for the question,
was carried without a dissenting voice.
The regular business Of the church was
resumed, and in a few moments Mr..
Stanley withdrew from the church.
