srsAYoR INGALLS, ON coRpoRAr1os.

Senator Ingalls,, OF Kansas, was made per-
manent chairman Of the late river improve
ment convention held at st. Joseph The
papers say that his speech completely cap
tivated the delegates from the Southern
States. In truth it was an able, polite
speech in which Masons and Dixons line
was ignored and the future Of the great
Mississippi basin finely portrayed. OF cor
porations he says:
In consequence of the necessity Of my
early departure from Washington, I'm here
at some personal inconvenience. and am
chiefly moved to accept the distinguished
honor OF presiding over your deliberations
by the desire to give my cordial approval,
and to assure you of my hearty co-oppera-
tions in the purposes and objects for which
l am informed you have assembled, and to
stimulate the development and improvement
of the vast water System Of the interior basin
Of the continent, extending between the
Allegheny and Rocky Mountains, and from
Manitoba to the Gulf, has been one constant
aim and endeavor Of my public life. ! have

with the empty and sonorous demagoguery
which asserts that there is an irrepressiblt
conflict between capital and labor, and thai
would make an indiscriminate war upor
corporations as the natural enemies Of the
people. But we are confronted with man,
economic problems, the chief among which
is that of cheap transportation, and believe
its solution lies not in repressiyc legislation
but in competition between water lines ant
railroads. Under the constitutional powe
Of congress to regulate commerce between
the different states, have no doubt Of tn
authority Of the government to assume eithe
partial or complete control of the great trunl
lines Of transportation. and to regulate tn
burdens that are imposed on the protectiv
labor of the country. This can be done b.
establishing uniform freight rates SO as t
prevent unjust discrimination betwecn wa
and TIN ough carriers, or by an intelligen
system of internal Improvements openin
new or improveing old routes of transpoI
tation to the seaboard.

PERTLs OF THE DEEP.
Hardships Experienced by the Crew of a
Belfast Schooner.

Additional particulars regarding the aban-

Of Belfast, reported in our telegraph columns
yesterday, have been received. The crew were
picked up by the steamer Seminole, Capt. Hal
lett, bound from Savannah to Boston, and ar
rived at the latter port yesterday. Capt Hal
lett states that at $50 M, Sept 10th, in lati-
tude SO 55, longitude n undiscovered schoon-
er showing signals of distress, and immediate
ly bore down to her. She proved to be the
schooner M. w. Drew, of Belfast, Me-, Capt
Mahoney, from Jacksonville for New London,
laden with hard pine lumber, in distress, hav-
ing lost sails, jibboom, main boom and every
thing attached, with her stern stove iii and the
vessel full of water, the sea washing over her
so that she was in completely waterlogged
condition AS there was no chance OF saving
the schooner, Capt. Mahoney desired to be
taken off, and the steamer was stopped close al
hand and boat sent to the ssistaDce OF the
distressed mariners. After making two trips
the officers and crew were safely transferred
to the steamer, saving what few things they
had previously got out of the cabin and secured
on the top of the house. Capt. Mahoney states
that they were exposed in the rigging all night
thoroughly drenohed by the heavy seas break
ing on board, and had signaled two steamers
that passed near by, but could not make their
condition understood TO those on board. Capt.
Mahoney reports on the 9th inst. he encoun-
tered a very severe gale, during which ms YES
sel was reduced in few hours TO wreck. he
expresses his thanks to Capt. Hallett for the
kindness shown him while on board the steam
er, he having been supplied with dry clothing
aud everything that his necessities required.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
DARING ATTACK ON THE GLEN
STATION STAGE.
Gentleman's Team Stopped and the
Family Robbed.

A special dispatch from Glen Station, on the
line of the Ogdensburg road, to the PRESS last
evening, gives the particulars of daring rob
berry by highwaymen on the road to the Glen
House, yesterday, and bold assault on the
stage.
1t appears that gentleman named An
drews with his family, has been passing some
time at the Thorn Mountain House. Yester-
day he ordered round his carriage and pair
of horses, and drove over with his family to
the Glen In the afternoon, after brief So
iourn at the Glen House, he started on his re-
turn Nothing especial was noticed neither
did there appear to be any suspicious charac-
tiers hanging around at the time OF starting.
Nothing out of the common transpired until
the carriage neared the town line when several
masked men sprung from an ambush in the
patch of woods. One seized the horses, and
another pointed a revolver at the heads OF Mr..
Andrews and family, and compelled them to
give up $500, in money, their gold watches
and all their iewelry, when they were allowed
to proceed on their way
Soon after the regular Glen stage, on the
way to Glen Station, came along. The lead
ing horses were fred at and the bullet narrow
ly escaped them. They Immediately took
fright, rearing and plunging, but the driver,
Mr.. Williamson, was cool as cucumber and
kept them under control. Putting on the
lash, the, stage dashed by the would-be rob
bers, and escaped them. To his courage and
skill the passengers are indebted not only for
the saving of their money but probably from
death in that narrow mountain road.
AS soon as the stage reached Glen Station
men and teams started in pursuit of the rob-

Yacht Club supper.

The annual fall supper of the Portland
Yacht Club sook place at the Peaks Island
House last evening. In former years the club
have be en- somewhat unfortunate in the selec-
ton of places for supper, but this fall the Sc
lection of the Peaks Island House amply
"filled the BILL" The supper was excellent
aud the attendance all that could be desired
The steamer chartered by the club left the
wharf in Portland at $50 p. M, with some
forty members on board and arrived at Peaks
Island at o'clock. After about half an hour
spent in strolling about, the call for supper was
made. The tables were spread around three
sides of square, Commodore Senter at
the head Secretary Rand at the left and Vice
Commodore Good at the right. After enjoy
ing the excellent fish and clans, the commo-
dore called for cigars and rest, and then
called on Judge Goddard as the representa-
tive of the Oldest yacht, for speech. The
Judge properly made an antique speech VERY
old, and it was followed by speeches from
Commodore Senter, Secretary Rand, Treas
urer Virgin, and several others. At $50 the
party rose from the tables and adjourned to
whist tables, bowling alleys, &c. The party
returned 20 town in the Minneaha at II o. m.
coneeding that the supper had been most en-
ioyable.

rung in their ears, but it had lost its influence
over them. The repetition by the Greenback
candidate of the stale Greenback talk of two
or three years ago, only served to increase
their disgust. Many of these Demo-
Gratis remained at home; some voted for the
Republican candidate, some for Reed, and
some for the .prohibitory party" candidate.
The Greenback committee called on their fol-
lowers to come out en- masse and score yicto-
ry; but some of their voters thought they had
got enough of Greenbackism, and either re-
NAMED at home or voted for the Republican
candidate. On the other hand the withdrawal
of the Democratic. Candidate, and the Green
back appeal, came in at the right moment to
wake up the Republicans and bring out q
large Republican vote for an off year.
1t is too early to predict just what effect the
great fusion overthrow of Monday, is to have
On the Greenback party and the trading mama
gers OF the opposition. 1t is a severe rebuke
to these managers, and most emphatic no.
tice by thousands of Democratic voters that
they will not longer have their votes trans
ferred to Greenback candidates. 1t is a serious
setback to the Greenback party. Inc oecu-
patton OF the little coterie of Democratic and
Greenback managers, who fit over the State
to dictate nominations, make bargains, trade
votes and withdraw candidates,-is gone.
