THE GOLDEN CITY.
Conclusion of the Inquiry Into the
Disaster.

MEMPHIS, April 29-Local Inspectors
Garrett and Ralston have completed their
investigation of the steamer Golden City
disaster OF March 30th. They ind that the
vessel was provided with a full complement
OF officers and crew, aud equipped with all
the fire extinguishing apparatus and life
saving appliances required by law. They
hold that the vessel, in carrying jute with
out the same being covered with bagging,
violated the spirit Of section 4472 of the Re p
vised Statutes, and revoked the license of
j. N. Bondurant, who was mate of the
steamer. After the fire was discovered the
officers put forth every exertion to save the
passengers, and they are held blame
less for the loss of life.
The dead bodies of a man and woman,
supposed to be victims of the Golden City
disaster, were recovered yesterday. One
was found on Cow Island, IS miles below,
and the other at Bordeaux Point, go miles
below here.
W. F. Mcintyre, clerk of the Inflated
steamer, left this afternoon to identify the

YEARNING FOR FREEDOM.
A Baptist Divine Quits His Charge.

BosToN, April 3O.-Rev. VIM. HaVne
Leavitt, pastor Of the First Baptist Church,
of this city, severed his Connection with the
Baptist denomination this morning because,
as he claims, it does not allow sufficient
liberty Of thought. In his farewell address
he said: Unfortunately for the Baptist de-
nomination there is no recognition of the
liberal evangelical wing In its ministry.
So soon as one desires to breathe freer
theological atmosphere, no matter how
truly evangelical the tone of his think
ing, or how strong HE desire to
remain orthodox, he is suspected
of having transcended all legitimate limits,
and his usefulness as minister of the New
Testament is thereby impaired. The only
liberty granted to such a man is the liberty
to go out. There are other denominations
as evangelical as ours where the limits are
not so contracted, and to such an one l 90
l leave both the Baptist ministers and the
church of Jesus Christ"
Mr.. Leavitt is native OF South Carolina,
a son-in-law of Senator George, of Missis-
sippi, and came here from New York city,
where he was for some time pastor of a
Baptist church, and his liberal tendencies
create much interest IN religious circles.

A MOVEMENT TO DRIVE THE CHINESE
FROM CALIFORNIA TO THE EAST. There
will be very little need of law prohibit
ing the immigration of Chinese when it
is known that those now here are refused
employment. The immediate effect Of
an organization to oppose the employ
ment of Chinese would be movement
of Chinese East. Special rates could be
made with transportation companies to
take them at cost the Six Companies
would advance, rather than lose the
profits on the slaves. A good many of
the Chinese have money enough to pay
their own way. There is already a
nucleus of Chinese in most of the East
ern cities with which the Six Companies
could communicate, and thus provide
their coolies with work. Boston, New
York and Philadelphia will soon have
their Chinese quarters, which will ena-
bic their citizens to study the Chinese
character without making journey 10
the Pacific Coast. We do not wish the
East any harm, but it is desirable that
they should have some personal knowl-
edge of the evil that has so long rested
upon the Pacific Coast.-iSan FFaacisc0

THE CONDITION OF THE NAVY.
What IL Has Cost 90 Keep IL In Re-
pair-FIguFes and Facts.

Washington Special to Philadelphia Press
The Secretary Of the Navy has sent to
Congress, in response to a resolution of the
House adopted last January, reports from
The Bureaus Of Equipment and Recruiting
aud Steam Engineering, as to the money
expended under those bureaus on ships in
the service between July l, 1865, and Octo-
Der 1, 1881. As soon as reports from other
bureaus on this subject are received they
will be sent to Congress.
The report shows that Of the hulls Of yes
sells existing January l, 1882. IA were not
worth repairing, we're not worth finishing.
25 could be repaired but st considerable
cost, % were In active service, in good
order, 5 rebuilding, and 2 fitting for sea.
o. steam engines for these 81 ships, "A
were in good order, "a In fair order, con-
demntd and removed, stored In navy
wards, IA require repairs, can be repaired,
5 very much worn, 4 not yet begun; Others
are rehtting for service, repairing and used
for other purposes OF the steam boilers,
~ are In good order, 10 in fair order. and
the others are either worthless, much worn,
repairing or used for other PURPOSES.
Several pages are devoted to a statement
of the expenditures on eighty niue naval
vessels by the Bureau OF Steam Engineering,
giving the names Of the vessels, rate, cost
OF original machinery and the amounts ex-
pended since built, by fiscal years, since
1923 TO 1SS0-1. The total amount ex.
pended by this one bureau on these yes
sells within the period above specified,
was $l2. AIS, ,435 43. This money was used,
It must be remembered, only on
machinery, boilers and mechanical
stores and outfits for the engineer
ing department of the vessels. 1t is impos-
sible to give the original cost Of the ma
chinery upon which this enormous outlay
has been made, as much OF It was built
under the Bureau of Construction and Re
pair. A few rich examples, however, are
selected. The original machinery In the
Pensacola. built between 1863 So, cost
S468, ,7S3 02. There has been expended on
her machinery since she was built, $751;
5O7 90. The original cost OF the machinery
In the Nipsic was $93, ,443 As. Since
then there has been expended in repairs
s314,Sl0 9S. The original cost of the ma
chinery in the old Miantonomah. was $40
522 81. There has since been expended oD
the machinery of this iron clad $49S 534 "a,
but this amount includes money appropri-
ated for the new monitor Of that name. The
original machinery in the Yantic cost $685.

Riots.

VIENNA, April 3O.-A dispatch to the
PreSSs from Moscow states that a man
named Kobasef Bogdanowitch recently
submitted to the authorities a plan for the

OF bombs. Bogdsonwitch and three hun
dred Nihilists have been arrested.

might invite attention to the benefit of
barge transportation to other industries,
such as pork packing, wool, cattle, tim
Der, etc. and the reduction of the cost
OF merchandise brought cheaper by the
barges. All these and more might enter into
the argument. but the memorialists abstain,
because, they say, such estimates would pre-
sent an aggregate so enormous when compared
with present results, as to challenge belief, if
indeed they did not excite ridicule, so difficult
Is It for the mind to grasp such possibilities in
advance of their realization"
Such has been the view taken OF barge trans.
portation in the Northwest since the tests re-
ferred to In 1879. The reduction in cost of
transportation was so great that they could
scarcely believe 1t, and yet we have shown in
previous article that not only has the rates
above quoted been largely reduced by the
barge lines, but that further reductions are
confidently expected, so that, instead of ten
cents per bushel from Kansas City, we do not
doubt that the year 1882 will witness the barge
transportation of grain from Sioux City 1870
miles up the MissourD to New Orleans at fUe
cents per bushel, thus doubling the above
savings and footing up SS22, 100000 L. c. B.
