Roughs mt Excursions.

The excursion steamer Columbia was the
scene of another riotous demonstration on
Thursday evening last as she was landing
her passengers in New York While the
boat was at pier No. 2 North River young
rowdy made disturbance. and was ex-
ceedingly boisterous and insolent to a
special officer employed by the boat, who
was on the pier. He was not arrested, as
he ought to have been, and as the boat
moved of, after the gangplank had been
drawn in, pistol shot was fired at
the officer, it is believed by the
unruly passenger. The officer, with a
policeman Of the steamboat squad,
Immediately hastened to Leroy street,
where the next landing was to be
made, and, arriving there in time arrested
the alleged assailant as he was getting off
the steamer and endeavoring to hide him.
self in the crowd. He was taken before
Justice Morgan and held for examination,
and as pistol with one chamber discharged
was found upon him there is little doubt
that he fired the shot at the officer ut pier
No. 2. 1t seems singular and by no means
creditable to the boat that the employees of
the Columbia did not arrest the rowdy, but
LETT him free to endeavor TO escape at the
next landing. A few such affairs will make
the excursion steamers on which they occur
unpopular with the people and good boats
to avoid.

SAFETY at Sen.

In to-day's HERALD will be found an inter-
saving life in case of disasters to sea going
vessels, and of the provisions made in case
Of accidents by the different lines of Euro
poan. steamers. Rats, either of rubber
or metal, are generally regarded as more
effective as life saving instruments than life
boats, and it is little surprising that they
are not in general use on the steamers ply
ing between New York and European ports.
even if they should be adopted as an
addition only to the other safeguards, such
as life preservers and boats, without dimin-
ishing the number of the latter. The
White Star line is the only one sailing from
New York on which RATS are carried as a
rule, yet only one line is found--the North
German Lloyd-to object to them on prin-
ciple. The agents of that line believe that
there is danger of a raft turning over in
rough weather and burying the passengers
under it, although this opinion is not
backed by experience or shared by those
who have practical knowledge of the quail
ties of properly constructed sea raft.
It is evident from the HERALDs investiga-
ton that many European steamers do not
carry sufiiciency of life saving apparatus
including boats, although they more than
observe the law on the subject as adminis-
tered in England. One steamer which will
carry one thousand three hundred and fifty
souls has room in her eight boats for two
hundred and eighty persons. 1t is evident
that we ought to have law of Congress
compelling foreign vessels in American
ports to submit to inspection and be gov
erned by our own requirements in the mat
ter of the protection of the lives of their
passengers. Such bill was introduced in
the last Congress, but failed to pass. 1t is
to be hoped that the next Congress will
legislate on this most important subject.

Hosmer and Davis are good enough to cut
