The steamers from the East have foun d
the passage across, Of late, very rough,
temprstuous aud perilous. Some half a
dozen we're overdue at once, and great un.
easiness has been felt by the friends Of
those on board,
The steamer Vomer left Havre Nov. l1th,
and two days after leaving port encounter
ed heavy gales. From this on until her ar
rval-eIcepting only two days-met moth
ing but head gales and violent seas, While
running at n moderate speed on the banks
OF Newfoundland, Nov 2s, distress signals
we're sighted aud nearer, signals for send
ing boat alongside. This was danger.
Gus, but the job was undertaken, The
steamer proved the Victoria, 10 days from
London. The captain was brought back.
The Victorla's rudder, IL was found, had
been broken of some three days. She
was unmanageable. An arrangement for
SEQ, 600 was entered into for taking the
disabled Victoria into port, Two 10 inch
hawsers were run to the stern Of the Vic
toria, and she having her engines in work
ing order the Volmer was taken In tow and
the Victoria was used as drag, or Ia place
Of a rudder, The two vessels started at
AZ. N. Nov. 30. and little progress was
made when both hawSers parted. They
we're picked up and again stretched,
and in addition two cable chains Of 90
fathoms, Again the hawsers we're parted.
Again they we're picked up and stretched,
and In addition wire ropes were used.
This proved success. Both vessels con-
tiaaed on their course at a slow speed and
arrived safely At quarantine, N. Y. hArbor,
on the 9Th Of Dec,
Great credit is due to the officers and
crew Of the Volmer Tor their hazardous Of.
forts OF assistance TO the Victoria, it being
deemed impradent, with passengers on
board, for the disabled vessel to lower her
boats and run the risk of losing them,
Such an exploit under such circumstances
is worthy OF passing notice, aud will be
appreciated by nautical men.

CALCUTTA, Jan. 10.-Dispatches from Cabul state
that Mohammed Jams, in conjunction with Musa
Khan son of Yakoob Khan, the Ex.Ameer, have
occupied and are now holding the Fortress Of
Ghuznai with strong force. Mohammed Jams is
said to have mounted twelve guns, and serious
struggle is anticipated in case an attempt to dis
lodge him is made.
In reply TO Communication from General Rob
erts he is declared to exhibit no disposition to lis
ten to any propositions looking to a compromise.
Mohammed Jams Is believed to have been rein
forced by several thousand of Shere Ali's regulars
from whom the cannon now mounted at Ghuznai
were probably obtained.
He has assumed political as well as military,
authority, and is collecting the revenues in the
home of Musa Khan, n,whom he pretends to regard
rs the rightful ana reigning Ameer, though tenn
porarly kept out of his capital by Its forciblt
occupation by IT, British.
He has sent emissares to Turkestan, commits
stoned to stir up the people there to engage in a
warfare upon the British as common enemy
and the probabilities are said to be- on account O
his high reputation as soldier and commander
in the wars of Turkestan, that he will have no in
considerable success in raising men to join him II

Harry Hulse, the Rspist.

The case Of Harry Hulse, the rapist of
little Hattie Hoberg, came up again this
morning in the District Court on the mo-
ton of Major Blackburn, the prisoners
counsel, to set the case down for an early
hearing to try the question as to the right
Of the prisenor to reversal of the jadg-
ment and sentence of Imprisonment for
life.
Counsel presented list OF thirty-one al-
legged errors occurring on the trial., The
principal ones were that the jurors were
not selected according to law; that the
Court erred in instructing the jury as to
what the evidence of DIR. Davis was, and
also in directing the Deputy Sheriff, James,
to perform duties in the Criminal Court
Room, while the law had designated spe-
cial criminal bailiff, Joseph Moses, to per-
form such duties.
Judge Avery stated that the Court would
decide whether the case should be taken
up for hearing out of its regular order.
Council for the State and the prisoner
should handup written arguments.

1t tappears the Congress put up three cam
didates to be voted for by the party rnen-
bers, the two receiving the highest vote to
be the candidates OF the party for President
and Vice President in $780, But in the
matter of the election of Secretary OF the
National Executive Committee there was
only one candidate put up to be voted Tor,
and that person was Van Patten.
And so it happens that in the party there
are class who advocate the election ol
John Ehmann, who claim the election Of
Van Patten would be one-sided affair
and non-Socia!istic. laying the referendum
(the essence of socialism) to one side. The
business meeting will also take into consid
