A NEW KIND OF VERDICT.

The presentment of the Grand Jury in
the Seawanahaka case has surprised tho
public, for the latter has not been accus-
toned to such direct and vigorous action
against the responsible parties in similar
affairs. As rule, when some great disas-
ter occurs, and wholesale slaughter of
the travelling public results, there is a
bungling and hurried inquest, and after the
press has fired few rounds of blank car
fridge the matter drops, and no more is
heard of it. In the present case, however,
there is an evident intention to hold some
body responsible, and the Grand Jury have
presented the owners, the Government In
spectors, and the captain. In making the
last presentment the jury had to run coun-
ter to public sentiment, for the acknowl-
edged bravery of Captain Smith in stand
ing at the wheel until he had run the burn
ing boat ashore, at the risk of his own life
has made him very popular. The Grand
Jury, however, find that his gallantry does
not atone for his previous neglect, and they
charge him with such inattention to his
duties in failing to provide life-saving ap-
paratus, as constitutes the crime of man.
slaughter. As Mr.. Charles A. Dana, pro-
prietor of the New York Sun, is one of
the owners OF the burned steamer, and as
all of them are men of wealth and posi-
ton, this case promises to become cele-
brated one. If it results in securing greater
safety for the public it will, however, be
one of the first instances of the kind on
record.

THE BENDER FIAsco.

After all the long accounts of the
Bender captures it seems that there was no
evidence upon which to hold the accused
persons, and that they had to be dis
charged after fruitless preliminary ex-
animation. We presume that this course
would not have been adopted had there
been any reason to suppose that their
identity could have been established. BIT
when they were confronted with several
persons who had known the real Benders it
was at once declared that these were not the
murderers. And so, after the country has
been edited with intern.inablc ICON.
" LESSONS" and elaborate accounts of the
manner in which their crimes were com.
mitted, it turns out that there is abso-
lutely nothing to connect these people
with the case in any way Who they
really are, or what their motives were for
telling all these stories, has not yet been
stated, if indeed it is known. They NAV
be gratifed with the thought that they
have deceived the whole country, and that
perhaps they came dangerously near being
lynched by an impulsive ana virtuous

TIE FATE OF his POSITION.

The Democracy has twice attempted to
substitute for its own unsavory record
that of its nominee for the Presidency,
and in both cases the result has been, not
to inspire public confidence in the regen-
Grafton of the party, but TO cause sus-
picion as to the integrity of the candi-
date. And this is inevitable under the cir
cumstances, for it is swiftly made appa.
rent that the party has undergone no
change of heart, and the inference there.
fore must be that it is the candidate who
has apostatized. Thus we find Wade
Hampton in Virginia telling his audience
that the principles of this campaign are
those which Lee and Jackson fought for
for four years, and we know very well that
this is the real sentiment of the South.
What then does General Hancock's can
didacy mean? He did not fight for
the principles of Lee and Jackson.
No But he is to day in the hands of
the men who did, and behind his 10y
atty they are putting forward their
old assaults upon the Union. Such facts
as this make it impossible that Union
man chosen by Democrats should impart
Union aspect to the campaign In
question as to whether the tail shall wag
the dog, or the dog wag the tail, we all
know what the end must be. General
Hancock does not wag the Democracy
the Democracy wags him. This is the
fatal mistake the Democratic leaders have
twice made. They thought they could
revolutionize their record with Horace
Greeley, and they failed. They thought
they could do the same with Hancock, and
they will fail again. The fact is that it is
not in the situation. The candidate must
take the color of his party his party
cannot be colored by him. And when the
party is the Democracy, and the candidate
man like General Hancock, it is newt
able that in the end his allegiance to the
country should be looked upon as more
doubtful than the notorious disloyalty Of
his principal supporters

INDIANA POLITICS.

The Democratic outlook in Indiana is by
no means cheerful. Landers, their can
didate, is exceedingly unpopular, and the
recent decision of the Supreme Court on
the validity of the Constitutional Amend
ments has caused very widespread disgust
and indignation. The Greenbackers are
utterly opposed to any coalition with the
Democracy. Landers and English are at
deadly feud. And to crown all the Re-
publican nominations are very popular, and
the party full of hope, and unvexed by dis
sension Of any kind The sharp trick
played by the Democrats in the matter of
the Supreme Court business is no doubt
equal to good many nails in their coffin.
The people think it savors altogether too
strongly of the Maine infamy, and besides,
it threatens them with an increase OF taxa
ton. On the whole the prospects are de-
cidedly gloomy for Mr.. Landers and his
party, and the worst symptom of all is the
rumored talk OF taking him off the ticket.
That in itself is almost equivalent to a
surrender

it must be remembered that almost as great

it must be remembered that almost as great
and numerous difficulties have been en-
countered in similar undertakings, and
surmounted triumphantly. As to the
want of population, everyone who has
observed the effects of railroad building
in the West ought to know that settle
ment is caused by railroads. Their con-
struction attracts attention to regions
which would perhaps have been neglected
for centuries otherwise, and immigration
instantly podrs into the waste places and
fills them up. 1t would be a very great
mistake to suppose that there are no fertile
| lands along the course Of the Canadian
Pacific. British Columbia is rich in all the
natural resources of a great country. 1t
has mines and forests and pasture and
arabic lands in profusion. It is well wa
tered. The climate is temperate through
large extent of the territory, and
with the advent of transportation IA
cilities there is no reason why it
should not settle up rapidly. The build
ing Of the railroad, moreover, must give a
great impetus to the mining industry.
Though large amount of gold has been
taken out of the Caribou and Kootnay
and other mining regions, it is the belief
of old miners that the country has been
little more than scratched yet. Whether
its destiny is to be American or English we
think it certain that British Columbia has
a considerable future before it, and it is
by no means improbable that the Canadian
Pacific Railroad may prove the key to un
lock its treasures and to furnish its oppor
tunities. AT all events it is too soon tt
predict the failure of that enterprise, ant
in an age when it is rather the rule thar
the exception for astonishing results t.
flow from discredited causes, it is certainly
as well to withhold judgment on matter
of this kind
