perfect gale attended the storm, and in
many places the snow Is drifted to . depth

for a while on such events, and make the
most ample allowance for tho incorrect and
exaggerated reports which are always gener-
ated in the excitement of catastrophe.
The probabilities that vessel which found
ers few hours after leaving port was either
unseaworthy or improperly loaded. are of
course very strong, and rigorous investiga-
ton of this case will be called for. The
weather on Wednesday off the Capes was
heavy, but the full severity of the storm
had not yet been felt there, and the
Metropolis had apparently received no worse
treatment from the elements at the time
of her breaking down than all ships ought
to be prepared for at this season of the year
in the vexed North Atlantic. If she became
helpless under such circumstances, it is natural
to suspect either that she was not suited
to the long and dangerous Winter voyage
upon which she was dispatched. or that
she was too heavily loaded, or that her
cargo was carelessly slowed. We publish
all the information our reporters and cor
respondents have been able to gather bearing
on these points of inquiry; but, as we have IN
timated, it will perhaps be necessary to wait
for more thorough investigation than Is pos
sible on the spur of the moment, before we
can place the responsibility for this dreadful
event where it rightly belongs.
Naturally there will now be close scrutiny
of the condition of the third vessel which is
about to be dispatched to Brazil by the same
persons who sent out the Mcrcedita and Me-
tropolis, and we trust that she will not be
permitted to leave port without most severe
inspection When steamers are chartered for
an extraordinary expedition like this there Is
always danger that the outftters may be tempt
ed to risk the employment of vessels that are
too old, or too small or otherwise unsuitable /;
vessels that are insuflicicntly manned or
equipped. and crews that are not drilled. The
liability to accidents is always greater on
such extra ships than on the boats of a
regular and well established line, where the
officers and sailors understand their ship and
are perfectly familiar with all her wants; and
as the peril is greater, the inspection should
he more rigorous in proportion.

THE ITRECK

When the Huron was wicked on the North
Carolina beach, the public and the press were
for two or three days unanimous in censurc of
the shIpbuilder who was supposed to have
put in bad engines. and the naval authorities
who allowed weak and defective vessel
to go to sea in storm. 1t turned
out, however, tina, the ship aud machinery
were both good, and the disaster was
entirely attributable to the reckessness
of Captain RyaL Yesterday morning every
body blamed the unfortunate commander Of
the Metropolis for disregarding the lesson of
the previous disaster and taking the same
course which had led the Huron to her fate.
But the later intelligence which we print to-
day puts different face on the affair. How
the Metropolis, bound from Delaware Bay to
Brazil, came to be so far out of heI
course, in the hollow of the coast line
near Hatteras, is now explained. She was
not run upon the shore by accident, nor car
ricd into the breakers by treacherous Cur
rent, but she was beachcd because she was
sinking. She appears to have sprung alcalS
the night after she left the Bay, and to
have been put about in search of a
port of safety and when her captain
drove her aground the fires were already ex-
tinguthed, and the shin was unmanageable
We may learn from the incidents o. this and
the other great ca<mity, to suspend judgment

POLITICAL NOTES.

What the country wants just now is a little Ex-
ecutive interest Ill what Congress Is about.
A Democratic House can always be relied upon To
"go for" the West Point Military Academy.
The force in Mr.. Collector Tuttons Custom House
has been decmated, and Mr.. Tuition has been
moved to say that he considers himself crippled.
The failure to get cheaper whiskcy will more
than counterbalance the demagogucs eatOn over
unlimited silver, should the Bland bill pass.
Shall the United States change places with China
and India and become the sewer into which Europe
can empty all its surplus sverf That is about the
size of the silver conundrum.
The Civil Service Reform debate has revived
itself with provincial energy and acrmOny in Bos-
ton Mass. Ii is one simmons who now furnishes
the text, and not Mr.. Bristow, of Kentucky.
What if the Senate should pass the Bland bill by
n two-thirds vote, and then a veto should be sus-
tanned in the House, would it not be pretty keen
satire on the assumed superior statesmanshlp o the
former body
The postponemcnt of the vote on the silver swim

portnnity to beSeech once more that little wisdom
and honesty may descend upon it's advocates. The
petitions should be plentiful and fcryent
Mr.. Cox found his speaking legs Thursday and

All right, Mr.. Cox; you may sit down. Your con
