FOUNDERED AT SEA.

LOSS OF THE SCHOONER O. 8. BAILEY, OF
GLOUCESTER, MASS THE CREW SAVED BY
PASSING VESSEL AND TAKEN TO BALTIMORE.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
BALTIMORE, Md. Nov. %, 1879.
The Norwegian bark Prince Donna. Captain Ton
neson, arrived here from Rouen. France. this
ing, and brought Captain j. X. Lewis and the crew
of the schooner O. s. Bailey. from Prince Rupert Bay.
Dominica for Gloucester. Mass, which foundered
ut sea on November 20. Captain Lewis reports that
he left Prince Rupert November 8. with cargo of
l2O. 900 oranges and few barrels Of bananas and
sweet lines. On Monday. the 18th inst, furious
gale was encountered. during which the schooner
was repeatedly washed by heavy seas. On
the morning Of the Goth a tremendous
boarded the schooner across her stern. washing the
decks and starting the sternpost. causing serious
leak All hands were compelled to take to the pumps
to prevent the water gaining headway In about
an hour a second sea struck the schooner, throwing
her on beam ends and causing her cargo to shift
The situation became critical and she was placed
before the wind in hopes of avoiding second onset
mattresses with oil, which lie trailed the stern
to prevent the water from breaking over the vessel
This proved an eficacious expedient' but did not
in the buwarks.
pEspEnATE ExpEpIENTs ADOPTED.
In a short time the captain seeing that the water
was gaining him, ripped up the cabin floors. cut
ting away the ceiling to reach the leak 1t was then
ano the eHA oaKnm washed out. leaving free
opening for the water to pour in quantity OF bed
clothing was pushed down and stuffed in the
opening. partially stopping the flow. of wa
ter, but the heavy continued to strain
the vessel. which soon began to settle
slowly under the weight Of water that filled hes
hold. The condition Of the crew was now perilour
in the extreme as in addition to the dangers they
were exposed to from the elements they were left
entirely without food. all Of which except the
fruit that formed their had been washed away
or destroyed. During the entire day the men abored
necessarily prevent the schooner from sinking by
pumping and bailng the water from the hold. Their
efforts were considerably hampered. by the pumps
choking up. and anally they commenced throwing
the cargo overheard.
HELP AT HAND.
At daybreak the next morning they sighted the
Prince Donna and were taken off, when
the schooners deck level with the
water. The lost schooner owned by
Mckenzie, Hardy & Co., of Gloucester, and was
built at Newburyport in June, 1878. The ship
wrecked were kindly cared for. and will be fur
nished transpo ration to Gloucester. where they
nearly all belong.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON. Nov. %. 1872
SECRETARY sHERMAN's POSITION ON THE
GREENBAcK AND OTHER FINANCIAL CUES
TIoNs.
The Secretary of the Treasury does not, it is un-
derstood, recommend the actual retirement Of
greenbacks. He holds that the national bank
ing system should be retained and encouraged
as legitimate aid to the government
in supplying currency for general public use and
also legitimate line OF personal or private bust
ness enterprise. But he recognizes the necessity
and availability of an interchangeable currency such
the greenback system furnishes. and does not adj
wise any interruption Of the issue of government
notes.
The Secretary says that his report does not con-
tain this year recommendations OF general impor-
lance, but the discussion Of the currency question
is with view to clearly defining the attitude
of the administration upon its financial policy.
The accumulation Of standard silver dollars
and the great amount Of gold bullion which
remains unconed. by reason Of the mandatory
clause Of the law requiring that much silver shall
be coined monthly alluded to and the fact that not
one-fourth OF the silver coined be forced into
circulation. He urges tho necessity of modification
of the law until tho silver coin hand be paid
out
THE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE-HIs ATTITUDE ON
THE LEGAL TENDER QUESTION.
The President in his Message will urge upon Con-
gress the importance OF providing civil government
for Alaska sets forth at some length the impor-
lance speedy action the part of Congress in this
matter on the ground OF economy and measure
that will establish good order in the Territory and
invite greater commercial prosperity. 1t is un-
derstood that the President, in calling attention
to the amount Of legal tender notes in circulation.
will refer to his life long policy in favor Of their u
innate retirement and quotes from speech he made
in 1875. He believes that the country should keep in
view the fact that these legal tenders were q war
measure and should time be entirely withdrawn
from circulation, but he recommends that Congress
take action upon the subject at present. and de-
precates all financial legislation as tending to I'M
settle and disturb the prosperity which has just set
in reserving for the future the solution of the nan
cial problem. He will also recommend o larger OPP
preparation for the Sydney Exhibition in order that
American contributors may be put upon an equality
with those of other nations.

FAR1EY's example seems to Le contagious.
Now comes another fellow, one Sahlgaard.
who wants little slice of the st. Paul q
Pacific railroad. He claims to represent
$4,000 in bonds, and he asked the court
not to confirm the sale in order that he
might secure divide of the property. Judge
Simons sat down on this presumptive
genius yesterday, just about as we imagine,
some court will sit down upon Mr.. Farley
one of these days, when his sworn statement
that he agreed to sqeeze out the bondholders
whose property he represented, is reached.
Judge Simons decides that purchase of
the bonds and capital stock of the railroad
company by the parties in interest was
not only perfectly legitimate transaction,
but it was matter over which the trustees
had no control. And so Sahlgaard is
laughed out of court with feas in both ears.
Next chap who wants chunk of railroad

WILL HE YETOT

The GLoBE's Washington correspondent
is reasonably certain that Mr.. Hayes will
veto the judicial appropriation bill on the
ground that it forbids him from incurrine
any liability for the future payment of su-
pervisors of elections and other federal
officers. Mr.. Hayes, it is alleged, holds that
the federal election laws are to be enforced !;
that in case of an election the marshal must
under the laws appoint deputy marshals for
elections that the statutes and general GUS
tom would authorize him to do this even in
the absence of an appropriation for the pay
ment of election marshals, but that the
words ssincur any liability" would make it
impossible to appoint election marshals be-
cause their appointment would incur liza
bility. To insert this phrase is therefore,
in his opinion, direct notification of the
election laws. To sign it he thinks would be
to assist Congress in making of no effect and
virtually repeating the election laws, and as
he believes those laws wise and constitutional
and necessary, he viii not countenance any
thing which would make them of no
effect.
We have no doubt but Mr.. Hayes inter-
prets the provisions of the bill referred to
correctly. Il would have the effect he fears,
Daily globe., 1879-06-17

but that effect is precisely what the people
want. Theydo not wish the election Laws
enforced, and do not vislt'to psy any bills
Fincurredssin payment of these illegally ap-
pointed officers. Yet, even though this pur
pose is declared, we see Of no good reason
fox a veto. The threat amounts simply to
this-that if Congress sees ft to omit appro-
priations for any given purpose, Mr Hayes
will prohibit the. payment of money for any
other purpose. Congress has an undoubted
right to provide for just such expenditures
as to it may seem wise, and to neglect to ap-
propriate moneys for any other purposes.
To deny it that rightsis toA assert that who
ever happens to be in the executive chair is
the supreme power of the land, and can die
tate to Congress in oil matters. #
Congress intended to nullify the election
laws BY refusing to make appropriations for y
their Enforcement This it h had 9 perfect
legal, moral and constitutional right to DO.
It would be direlict. of its duty if it failed
to- do so, and if Mr., Hayes shall at
tempt to- usurp the Legislative pre-
rogative BY, attempting to coerce Congress,
he will deserve the severest condemnation.
We do not believe he will do 80, for such an
act would be stretch of the executive au-
thority that has never before been attempted
and that will array the whole country against
him. For his own good We would advise
him not to trench too much upon the pa
tience Of Congress and the people, for there
are times in which patience ceases I to be .
virtue. His duty is ttoE approve the bill
promptly, and to look to the Epeople Of the
country for an expression Of opinion on the
questions involved, If Congress is wrong
there is no danger that its conduct will bt
fapproved, for the people are fully aroused
on the questions at. issue, and when th.
proper time arrives will give an intelligen
and emphatic verdict on the conduct o
those they have chosen to serve them. @s

The French congress will decide on
Thursday whether the capital will remain at
Versailles or be removed to Paris. There
has of late been good deal of agitation on
the subject, principally among those mem
bers who dislike to be removed from the
gaieties Of the metropolis during the sittingsI
of the two houses. It would be the part OF
wisdom, however, to remain at Versailles, at
least until after the next Presidential cleo
ton, for there is always danger of revolution
in times of national excitement in France

nc MR.HA1Es, it is said, will veto the judicial
bill on tho ground that the second section
provides that no department or. officer of
the government shall incur any liability for
the future payment Of money. This: is the
besI. feature of the bill, and ought to be in
corporated in every appropriation bill passed
by Congress. The practice of running in
debt is as 1eprehensible on the part Of the
government as on the part of individuals.
Every department. ought to be required to
cut its garment according to the cloth it has
at it's disposal. If Hayes yetoes the, bill on
this ground he will deserve even more con-
demnation than he has heretofore received.

TIE IRAIroRs, Y0Rk

The Infamous treachery of the Pioneer
Press towards this city meets with the
hearty approval of the Minneapolis Tribune.
That was to be expected. The Tribune is
base, lying and unscrupulous in everything
pertaining 10 st. Paul, but in comparison
with the course of the traitor-spies who
print Minneapolis paper in St. Paul, the
Tribune is honorable in the extreme.
It assumes no hypocritical mask of friend
ship, but is a contemplate enemy all of the
time. We have great respect for an open
foe, even though he is mean enough to bear
the name of Dave Blakely, but for the
traitor-spy who, under the guise of friend
ship, wraps its snaky coils about its victim
that it may inflict the more deadly wound,
the language is inadequate, even though a
new edition of Webster has been issued con-
tanning three thousand additional words.
The Tribune, under the head Of .No
State Fair in st. Paul." proceeds to epito-
mize aud quote with glee the articles of
Sunday and Monday morning in the Pioneer
Press, designed to destroy the State Fair
and leave clean field for Bill Kings specu-
lation at Minneapolis. The Tribune en-
dorses the articles as sensible reiterates
with gusto all of the ISLANDERS of the traitor
spies in St. Paul, and concludes as follows
1t may safely be concluded, therefore, that
for reasons so conspicuously sound as to
admit of no impeachment, and because Of OBJ
stacles and disadvantages which it is this year
impossible to overcome, the State Fair will not
be held in st. Paul this year.
In spite of all this .preconcerted move
ment on the part of Bill King to use his
Minneapolis paper (printed in St. PauD to
destroy the State Fair, we can assure the
public that State Fair will be held as pro-
posed and that it will have the cordial sup
port and sympathy of the people of this
city. It is not to be st. Paul Fair, but a
State exhibition, which st. Paul welcomes,
and the people of Minnesota will see to ii
that their Fair is made worthy of this grea.
agricultural State. @
But how do the people of St. Paul like Ia
have traitor-spy in their midst, who, with
falsehood and Misrepresentation seeks tc
place them in the position of refusing hospi
tality to the citizens of the State? And al
to further q private circus in which the
stockholders of the traitorous sheet have &
pccuniary interest.
