A MYsrERY OF TIE SEA.

BodSo0 Washo4 AshaFa. 1e1owed BY .
Letter .. . Caa Tollisg e Disaster.
At intervals during the past two months
largo Quantities OF WreekAge and three
bodies have been washed asR6ge on Rock
away Beach, between the new hotel and
Long Toms Point. None of the bodies
which were apparently those of seamen,
was identified, and they were buried on
the beach. It was thought by many that
they came from tho bark Ajace, wrecked
ON Rockaway Shoals, but old beaOhmeu
say that this Is impossible, as the bodies
would have been washed ashore at COney
Island. Others are Of the opinion that the
bodies and wreckage came from the
wreck Of the unknown bark that is
believed to have foundered off the
point on the same day as the Ajace. On
the day that the Ajaoe was wrecked, the
crew of life saving station No. 81 assert
that there was bark in company with
her when she passed tho station. A denst
fog shOrtly afterward Obscured both YES
sells, and when it lifted neither was to be
seen.
On Tuesday Abraham Hamer, watch
man in the employ of the ROckaway Beacl
improvement company, found ON the beacl
near the point, . quantity of wreckage ant
tin can, tightly y sealed. Two bottles
were fastened to the can to keep it atlOat
Tho can was opened, and found to contain
piece Of paper on which tho following
was written.
''SHIP EAMA B. BIRDsALL, March 10, 1880
We have been experiencing severe wealth
or since the LIST of March, and it still con
times to storm. We have been under on
storm try-sails ever since the LIST. TO-da,
she has sprung leak, and We cannot kcel
her free, and it is SO rough we cannO
launch our boats. The men are all beastl
drunk, and We cannot get any work out o
them. It is very bad look for us, as tn
sea is breaking over the ship. There
but five of us left out of eighteen men
is q bad look for the rest of us. I will no
have time to say much moro. If any Of m

what Might Have Been Had tho 10 Gone
tho Other Way.
A special dispatch from Washington to
the New York World says "a report wa
put out here by the Star Route ring early
in the investigation charging responsibility
for the exposures upon Mr.. Tilden. 1t oc-
casiOned only amusement at the time. To-
night information comes from authority
unqucstionably high that, although not
responsible for the present investigation,
Mr.. Tilden is in possession of more evi-
dence against the Star Route ring than
the pOstOfice department has or seems
able to obtain. The authority for this
statement says that it was collected by
Mr.. Tilden in 1876, aud that he had in
tended, had he been inauguratcd instead
Of MI. Hayes, to signalize the beginning
of his administration by an investigation
similar to the one now in progress, mean
ing to win by it ON national scale the
reputation he made for himself as . reform
or in connection with the exposure of tho
New York canal rings. He added to this
evidence during Mr.. Hayes term, keeping
it to himself until q year ago last winter,
when he put out part of it through we'll.
known agent. The purpose of this was to
arouse the country to the possibilities of =
vigorous investigation, and he depended
upon his friends to convince tho party
leaders at Cincinnati that in case of his
nomination no was prepared to make such
further disclosure as would insure Demo-
cratic victory. It is said that he would
have used all his evidence during the cam
paign and have met the Republicans with
facts and figures that would have been
simnle irresistible. It is due tn Mr.. Til
den that the officials who have the investk
cation in charge should call on him to
place all he knows, if he knows anything,
at their disposal: Some of them believe
he can supply the links which they WAC
to complete the chain of eliminating eyk
depce against the ring"

The Mercy Letter.
The publishers and editors of Truth,
who were indicted for publishing the
Morey letter, have just been discharged,
the prosecution confessing its inability
to show that they were parties to the al
legged forgery of the letter, or that they
even hal any knowledge that it wss
forged. Fhilp, wLO was charged with
writing it, was conceded to be innocent.
The district attorney declared himself
unable to discover who had committed
what he claimed to have been public
crime Of exceptional gravity; but he
was satisfied that the parties accused
were innocent. The presiding Judge con-
CURED and they were released. Yet
these men were committed for trial
by judge Of the supreme court, who
is now shown TO have done SO upon evi-
dence which is not deemed strong enough
to send the case to a jury. This judge,
Noah Davis, ut the same time, it will
he remembered, undertook to call Mr..
Hewitt to account for his conviction of
the genuineness of Garfields signature.
A great deal OF loud talk was indulged
in on the eve of the election charging
that this letter was forged to the order
of the Democratic national committee,
and the influence of this bluster on the
campaign was effective. 1t is astriking
commentary on the boldness of these as
sertions that a Republican district attor-
ney confesses himself unable after earn-
est effort for six months to find enough
evidence as to the origin Of this letter
upon which to base even prima facie
case against anyone.
People are at liberty to suspect what
they please as TO the origin Of the MOrey
letter !; and they may even decline to be-
lieve it a forgery. 1t has never been
shown to be-; and public judgment has
been suspended concerning it awaiting
the elucidation that would come from a
trial of the forgers. There has been a
general desire to have Garfield testify
from the witness stand concerning its
authorship. A good many people felt
that he should seek such an opportunity
to vindicate himself. He las not done SO
and this trial that was to give him the
opportunity seems to he very willingly
avoided by his political friends. If there
was evidence upon which judge of the
supreme court could send these men to
trial there ought to have been evidence
enough for jury to consider; if there
was not, as District Attorney Rollins
now says, then Judge Noah Davis has
no business on the bench.
Our strong suspicion has been that
Garfield wrote this Morey letter; and il
is not removed by the remarkable an
nouncement that it's forger cannot be
found, nor reasonable ground for suspi'
cion as to who he may have been.

With all his rollicking disposition he was

to his duties. During all his
days in Columbia his industry in
the collectors Office and in tho pursuit of

He became distinguished as a ten-pin

prize steers of Lancaster county that fell
to his lot in reward for the accuracy of his
aim. Hc entered into this sport as with
everything else, with a vim. Peter Saylor
loves to relate how Aleck Scott and he
went through the snow to a shooting
match At Petersburg, thirteen miles away.
The contest was not decided the first day,
and Scott was not content to spend an idle
night in the village. Let's 60 and sec

Scott, as matter ofcourse, went straight
way to see Regina Mcdowell, for she was
the prettiest Of the L,any pretty girls of
the borough, and he, with his usual rush,
had fallen headlong in love with her. Her
father was Robert Mcdowell, who kept
the Fulton house in Columbia, and he had
several very charming daughters. After
spending that night in Joseph II. Blacks
house, with whom they boarded, Saylor
and Scott returned to Petersburg next
