destiny. Why, Just look at lhe.record. In lSOS
Garfield brought bill into congress TO drop
che junior sjor. general. That was Han.

was signed BY the president. But before it
could DO carried into effect Geo. II. Thomas,
the senior ma general, died and Hancock,
going UP one grade, was no longer the junior
naior-gcneral, and so the law could not
reach him. Then the Republicans, still led
by GARFIELD, passed an act
reducing tho heterogeneous to three. This
was signed by the president, but before il
could be carried into effect Meade died, and
the major generals were then reduced to
three by Almighty God. Finally law was
passe authorizing the president to drop one
Of the generals. Before it could be
carried out, and Hancock dropped, Hal
leck died, and Hancock becoming the senior
major general, he could not be dropped
The man who survived all these attempts To

The lake was in good condition n. 4 o'clock,

The start WAS made at 5:44, Riley
taking water first and going off with AZ

Riley and taking his water twice going down.
Riley turned first and straig ,tenea up for the

From the Arciic Rcrinn

New York, Sept. 27.-The Herald pub
fishes letter ola correspondent who accom-
panied the Schwattska expedition to King
Williams Land. The story refers more
particularly to incidents of the great sledge
ride, This is supplemented, however, by the
discovery of relics and the examination of
native witnesses, which led to the sad con-
elusion that the fate of the officers and crews
of The Erebus and Terror was terrible. even
to the utm est limit of imagination, and that
the records of tho franklin expedition are
lost beyond recovery. Old men and women
of the Esquimaux tell n story of those who
were doubtless the last survivors OF these un-
fortunate vessels with minuten IS Of detail
aud eydent truthfulness which places their
fate beyond doubt. OF what had become
of their great loader, or of the large number, of
men who constituted the crews, nothing could
be discovered. Only q small party Of otli-
GERS, black about their mouths, with no flesh
on their bones, is seen dragging boat across
the ice, and then they disappear and nothing
more is seen Of them until their skeletons are
found under their bost and ia a tent, prev
to wild beasts, and with the dreadful eyi.
dences that they have been driven to feed on
the weaker of their companions before finally
yielding to starvation and cold. Such was
the cad conclusion which the discoveries of
this expedition inevitably lead to. That the
records of The Franklin expedition were
with this party is also painfully evident from
the testimony of the natives, who naturally
considered them of no Importance, and BY
whom they we're allowed to lie around rs
playthings for the children and were eventu.
ally destroyed.

Wrecking IN II Crime.
New York Mail.

The st. Augustine pilots, and some other
persons who shared in tho wreckage of the
Vera Cruz, resent the denunciations they have
received for their part in that melancholy af-
fair, and complain of prevailing false in-
preston that wrecking is crime. On the
contrary, they say, no who saves the property
OF a wreck from destruction by the sca con
ters benefit on its owners. This the law
recognizes, and therefore allows liberal COM
pensation for wrecking performed in egiti.
mate manner. But what makes the recent
wrecking on the Florida coast so infamous is
that dead bodies Of tho lost were stripped OF
jewels aud money and then buried in the
sand like dogs, tho mail and trunks were
broken open and robbed, and even if the
st. Augustine pilots did not participate in
these crimes, they kept the fact of the wreck
a secret for forty eight hours in order that
they might seize rs much MS possible OF the
floating freight. Regardless of the fact that
human life. WIS in peril these creatures con-
cealed tho knowledge of the disaster, and in
stead Of searching for the victims Of the
wreck, gave their whole energy TO seizing
the spoils. Wrtcking, Ms conducted in the
case OF the Vera Cruz, is an infamous crime.
and the men who participated in ii have
shown themselves capable of trampling upon
the lives ofmen in order that they may gorge
themselves upon the spoils Of the sea. There
ls legitimate wrecking, but the wreckng on
the Florida coast was not of that nature,
being conducted in manner which makes il
a heinous crime.

The western Outlook.
New YORK Express.


All trustworthy reports from the west are
favorable to tho Democrats. Dragging is
useless. II Is work that tells. And the
Democrats OF Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are
exerting themselves as never before TO carry
those states this fall. Indiana is tho most
severely contested Of those states. In 1875
the Democrats carried the state by plurality
of 5,5l5. The population Of the state has in
essed considerably in four years. The Green
back vote, which in 1876 was Q, 1888, had risen
TO 39,448 in 1878. but that party is somewhat
divided and demoralized, and 10 really an in
calculablo element in the contest. AS most
OF the Greenback men, however, were orgI-
naly Republicans 1t is not likely to seriously
diminish the Democratic vote. The Rcpub-
of whom between 5000 aud 10000 have been
exodused into the state by their party maNa-
gera, but probably they will gain very little
sands Of Republicans. They have IN enor
getc state committee, but twenty state
committees cannot Oil the Vacancy made by
the death of Senator Morton, who
nad no superior AS party man

state WAS very great. But tho Demo-

are doing their most effective work in quiet
ways in tho towns and villages and school
districts. Hancock Is everywhere popular
while Garfield inspires no enthusiasm any
where; and most of the soldiers will vote for
the former, while the latter is sure to loso the
votes of thousands Of Republicans. Money
from abroad does not take the place of that
hearty feeling which works spontaneously
and irresstlbly, and all the while. The in

than were cast for Hayes. 1t is obvious that

Celebrating what?


They celebrated tho centennial of the cap.
turs of M,j or Andre at Tarrytown, yesterday
The telegraph reports a big crowd, much
excitement pnd so forth. But, when one
comes to think of it 1t is a very queer cele-
bration. 1t is we'll enough to call to mind ii
any way that it is practicable notable deed
or event, but the chief incentive Of such cele
brstions heretofore has been deemed the
vslor that the occasion recalls and the exam
pie that it gives men to emulate. Andre was
captured by accident. The mon who caught
him were playing cards by the roadside when
he came in view. The moral, therefore, il
tho analogy Of other celebrations hold. i;
that it is well to play cards by the roadside
for you may apprehend spy and save your
country; or, one step further, and 1t is well tc
celebrate an accident But, in spite OF such
hypercriticism, no doubt the celebration waG
fitting thing, In one way, at least it will
do good. For several days past and for SOW
eral days to come, much of tho history of the
time has been and will DO recalled by the
newspapers, and the busy public may learn
something in that way.
