THE loss of the steamship City of Brus-
sells in the Irish channel On Sunday after
noon appears to have been one of those
accidents against which human foresight is
powerless to provide. 1t is gratifying
that, where the possibilities of great loss
of life were so imminent, there were COM
parativsly few who met watery grave.
The only two passengers lost have Only
themselves to blame, for they could have
easily escaped with the rest had they not
leaped from the vessel at the first alarm.
The admirable discipline of the officers
and crew is worthy of all commendation.
But one, the pilot, showed the white
feather, by jumping into the first boat
lowered, and he was brought to his senses
by threat of the captain to have him
pitched overheard if he did not stand to
his post. The sailors who lost their lives
died at their post of duty. The loss Of
life by ocean disasters would be far less
than it has been if the same discipline ex-
listed on all steamers as was shown on the
City of Brussels.

Mr. PRICE, the commissioner of Indian
affairs. seems, from our Washington
special, to have committed some very
grave errors in his awards of contracts for
beef and -four for the Indian agencies. 1t
appears that he had the opportunity about
ayear ago of supplying those interesting
wards of the nation with all the beef they
could eat IN twelve-month at a rate far
below that which he is now paying had he
accepted the lowest bid, submitted by P.
H. Kelly, of this city, at the regular time
for awarding contracts. He thought the
price asked was too high, but has since
been paying more than dollar hundred
advance. Through his want of judgment,
too, the government has lost $11.50 per
hundred pounds on all the -four used by
the Los Pinos Indians, while the contract
ors have reaped a handsome profit. Mr..
Price may be honest, but he evidently
lacks business sagacity.

dispatch until the Tennessee authorities
reach San Antonio. Polk passed through
the city Friday. He purchased arms, ammu.
milton. blankets, drugs, etc.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 8.-At 2 O'Clock

ply:
Bring or send N. T. Polk here immedi-
ately. Signed. ALVIN HAWKINS, Gov
ernor.
Governor Hawkins, at 10 o'clock, tele-
graphed the governor of Texas to hold
Polk until requisition in form copld be
forwarded.
To-day resolution was adopted in
both houses Of the legislature authorizing
the governor to offer reward OF $4,000
for the delivery of Polk to the Tennessee
authorities and directing him to make q
rsquisition en- the governor of Texas for
tho return of Polk to Tennessee.
Nnw ORLEANS, Jan. 8.-The Times Dem
eerafs San Antonio special says: A one
legged man was arrested to-day by Dstec-
tive Price, on suspicion of being Polk, the
defaulting state treasurer of Tennessee,
bat was released last night. The accused
said his name was not Polk, but Tate.
He was accompanied by young man,
Van Leer, also by a servant, and registered
at the hotel, but neither wrote the name of
place they were from. Tate claimed to be
q man of wealth on his way to Mexico
to look after his mines. Tate and Van Lee
refused to be interviewed. The servant
was also non-committal. Tate also said he
had not long since returned from Europe.
Detective Price sent off a number of tele-
grams to the state authorities of Tennessee
asking for full description and instruc-
tions, but could receive no reply, and con-
sequently was compelled to release the
prisoner. After the party
were turned loose and he and
his companions had left, telegram was
received from the governor of Tennessee
telling Price to hold his man and baggage;
that necessary papers would be forwarded
Detective Price is confident he had the
right man, and has him shawdowed and
knows his whereabouts when he receives
the necessary proofs of identity.

kins has received dispatch stating that
Treasurer Polk has been released on

The arrest of State Treasurer Polk, of
Tennessee, may result in divulging the
means by which he succeeded in getting
away with so large portion of the state
funds, and may implicate some of his
friends, who, it is supposed, he assisted
when they were in close financial straits.
It is too much to hope, THAT helwill
be punished for his populations. The men
who steal hundreds of thousands are not
those. who crowd our Ipenitentiaries, but

THERE is no longer any reason why
those who are holding federal offices, or
those who desire to get them should labor
for Mr.. Window. Since the passage of
the Pendleton civil service bill, Mr.. Win

A QUESTION OF vKRAo1rY.


Mr.. Oarlisles friends express great sar-
prise at the contradiction by authority
from Mr.. Blackburn of the statement that
he pledged himself in his Cynthiania
speech not to be candidate for speaker
if the people of his district reelected him.
Mr.. Carlisle says himself he had been as
sured that 500 afidavits can be procured
from reputable citizens who heard the
speech that Blackburn did make the state
ment attributed to him and which he de-
MES. 4 friend of Carlisle's says that the
Cynthiania paper published report of his
speech at the time, and that he
was reported as has been represented
by Carlisle's friends. The copy of the
paper containing the report of the joint
debate between Blackburn and Owens has
been sent for, and its arrival will prob
ably serve to add to the unfortunate bitter
ness between these two distinguished
gentlemen, growing out Of the speaker
ship contest. Mr.. Blackburn's friends
claim that even should the report in the
Cynthiania paper tend to verify the
statement of Carlisle's supporters, it can
not be pretended that the long hand re-
port Oft writer on weekly paper can be
accepted az accurate or sven as an ap-
proach to accuracy in Blackburn's case,
who is rapid speaker even for stenog-
raphers' to take.
