The new rule of the Secretary of the In
terror in relation to proceeding against
accused pension agents, while it should
excite no distrust in the minds of men
who are anxious to see the guilty speedily
punished, will encourage chose agents
who expected to be disbarred first and
tried afteaward. The usual practice of
the Interior Department has been to sus-
pend at once an accused attorney. reserv-
ing final decision in his case until the
testimony against him is all in. The re.
versal of this rule postpones the final de-
cision, but permits the suspect" to con-
tinue his practice. If indictments and
trials of these individuals were to be con-
Quoted in any court in the country but be-
fore = Washington tribunal. the public
would have more confidence in their uIti-
mate conviction and punishment. We
may hope that the deferring of the cases
OF the accused agents will not be for long,
and that there will be no further postpone
msnt.

A CRASH AT SEA.
Collision Between Schooner aud a
Steamer-The Ocean Getting too
Narrow for Travel.

New York, Nov. 2.
The collision between the steamer State of
Florida and the schooner j. T. Campbell,
Richmond for Newport, appears more serious
than at first reported. Both vessels were
badly damaged. The Storage steward and
carpenter of the steamer were with difficulty
extrcated from the debris. Several steerage
passengers were slightly injured, and the con-
fusion verged on panic. The schooner when
last seen was endeavoring to make Newport
under sail At half past two. the hour of the
collision, the first officer was on the upper
bridge There was two lookouts forward.
The night was clear, the steamer steering
about northwest, and a fresh westerly bretz re
was blowing across the port bow. The look
outs reported a sailing vessel Oh the port bow
and in few minutes the Campbelrs lights
were plainly seen. The steamers people
made up their minds that she would go by
them on the left.
Suddenly, when in close proximity to the
steamer, the schooner tackled and attempted
to cross the steamers bow. The steersman
tried to sheer off, the result being that the
jibboom caught the back haliiards and back
stay of the steamers foremost and tore them
asunder, while the boom was quickly snapped
in twain. Then with a long drawn shock
and a crash of splintering woodwork and
WTeuCUlHS anu lLous thV etiohS w"
spirit and anchor of the schooner tore away
along the port side of the steamer. Fifty
feet of iron bulwarcks were swept away like
so much card board. The strong stanchions
supporting the bridge deck amidships were
twisted and bent until they were finally
broken in two. The deck houses. including
two pantries, the room of the carpenter and
the steerage eward and sundry closets were
torn to pieces and considerable other damage
done.
scene OF terror followed the crash in the
steerage. The people rushed here and there
shrieking with fright. and it was several
minutes before quiet was restored. There
were some bandaged heads and hands yester-
day, but the officers averred that no serious
injuries were sustained.
The collision occurred off Fire Island yes
terday morning. The schooner had her bows
stove in and lost her bowsprit, but declined
assistance, although the steamer lay by until
