LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR.
NEW YORK, August l6, 1880.

NEW IOhh, august To- IOOU.
Brave Capt. Smith who was SO terri
blv burned while sticking to his post on
the Seawanhaka has been indicted for
criminal negligence as we'll as all the
other officers, and the owners of the i'll
fated boat. The sensation will doubt
less have the intended effect. The
heroes of that one real accident will
shine all the brighter by the contrast
with other officers of the daily trafick-
ing and excursion boats, and much
needed reforms will undoubtedly be in
augurated. The daily collisions, run
ming aground, &C., are incessant, and
we seem to escape some terrible calami-
ty by the very skin of our teeth all the
time. On land, fires of unusual magni-
tude and severity have been raging.
There is perfect epidemic of confa-
grations among the Hunters Point oil
works, rope factories, &c.
Some time ago brave little boy, Os-.
valid Morrissey, saved the life of baby
at great risk of his own life, and at the
expense of great personal suffering, by
rushing into burning building for the
little fellow when strong men were run
ming away from the fierce flames, be-
cause he didn't want the baby's moth
er to feel bad" A subscription to ed
ucate the promising young specimen of
a true American has been started,
George Wilkes, of the Spirit of the
Times, leading off, from Paris, where
he is staying, with generous amount,
which is rapidly growing to something
very considerable. 1t might be we'll to
have everybody throughout the country
"chip in" a penny to help the youthful
| fellow along. and then try to beat his
record.
Business is dull as general thing
but murder is hourishing. The low TIA.
lians made tremendous hubbub about
the funeral of Balbo, and the hang Ing
seems to have stimulated other candi
dates for the condemned cells to deeds
of unusual ferocity. An inoffensive ole

of terrible murder and suicide, wher,
the woman in the Casa too fascina
ting dame with grown-up children
was treated in almost the same way b,
a fond lover who slaughtered her with
razor and then took savage hack a
himself. These are but samples of tn
prevailing epidemic. The anti-capita

q events and noisily asking "Does hang

The long chase after VictOria's band
of hostile Apaches has ended for the
present by the Indians crossing the
frontier into Mexico. They attempted
to take refuge there some months ago
when closely pursued by the soldiers, but
the Mexicans drove them back, and they
recommended their depredatiOns on the
American side of the border. The cam
paign against them has been tedious and
expensive. 1t is to be hoped they will
manage to keep out of the way of the
Mexican troops as successfully as they
have evaded the Americans, and will
not return to trouble the ranchmen and
miners of Arizona and New Mexico.
