In speaking Of the call recent
ly made for a convention of.
colored men in Washington City.
the Philadelphia Times saws: If
there is one thing more than an
other which the colored man
does not need it is office. Thrown
into politics prematurely by the
adoption of the constitutional
amendments and given a power
he could not understand. the
colored man was able to do more
harm to his race in five years
than has since been overcome or
can be for many years. For him
politics meant the elevation of
bad men, both white and black.
thegeneral decentralization Of the
politics of every Southern State,
and the unsettling of thousands
of worthy people of the coiored
race who would have done well
at work or at school. With all
the credit due them for their
achievements, it is not alto
gether good advice which Mes
srs. Douglass, Williams and
their associates give TO their
race. Less party politics, more
and better schools and churches
and fewer offices and more work,
will give the negro q position
from which he may finally do
something in the way of dicta-
ton.
There were two thousand and
one fires in New York during

average of nearly six a day. The
total loss is estimated at some

two thousand dollars. The re-
cord of the origin of fires during

number were caused by over

THE Monday evening session of the
House at Harrisburg has been devoted
to the introduction and consideration of
a lot of buncomhe resolutions on the
tariff, civil service and other subjects of
federal legislation, which ale introduced
into the state Legislature for mere pur-
poses of clap-trap, and the consideration
of which serves to waste time that might
be usefully employed. So far as these
resolutions pretend to instruct congress
men in their duties they are alike impu
dent and Ineffective.
The experience of last night shows,
too, what the short Monday evening ses-
sion is likely to be-a mere farce without
substantial results to state legislation.
The Friday morning session, just before
the adjournment for the week is no better
There are only three real working days

THE NORTHCUTT Cs,NCEKT


"A leasing Entertainment at Trinity Chapel.
There was a goOdIy audience in Trinity
Lutheran chapel last evening, where the
NOrthcott concert combination of Phila-
delphia, gave musical entertainment
under the auspices of the Junior mission
ary society, an organization con
nected with Trinity congregation. The
Northcott company consists of Miss
Marie Stevenson, soprano; Mr.. John
r. Johnston, baritone MIR. w. North
cott, cornetist Mir. Fred. T. Baker,
pianist and Organist, and Miss Laura
Bigger, elocutionist. The programme last
night introduced the respective perform
furnished some popular selections from
well-knOwn composers. Probably the
best thing of the evening was Miss
Stevenson's solo, ''Come Thou Fount,"
not a difficult composition. but one af-
fordirg good opportunity for estimating
the quality of the little lady's voice, a fine
soprano OF ample compass, true register.
and possessing withal sweetness and
expression that edo not fail to awaken a
response in the heart of the listener. Her
duets with Mr.. Johnston were also finely
rendered. The latter has nicely strung
baritone, and his rendition of the pretty
ballad, My Boy Remember Me" was
gem in it's way. MIR. Northeott's cornet
solos were highly appreciated, as were
the piano and organ solos Of Mr.. Baker,
while Miss Bigger contributed very ma
terially to the merit of the entertainment
by several recitatiOns, notably good
among which was the account OF How
Edith Helps Things Along"

TUESDAY EVENING. JAN. %. 1853.
Sea Vessel Improvements.

The newspapers, of course, have a
great deal to say concerning the loss OF
the Cimbria and the California railroad
accident, events of one day that were
very fatal to human life and that seem
to have been the results of careless man
agement. 1t is easy enough to find that
the fault of the railroad accident was
with the brakemen who were not at their
post, and with the company that al
lowed the train to be stopped for the de-
tachment of its engines while it stood
on a heavy grade. The responsibility
for the sea disaster is not so
easily fixed. It occurred in a
fog, and between vessels that seem
TO have been moving cautiously
and at slow speed. Yet it seems that
they should have been made sufficiently
aware of each others position by their
signal whistles to have avoided collision.
The fault was with the rules of the road
or with the application of them by the
commanders.
These collisions in fUgs are SO frequent
that it is clear enough thai sea voyaging
will never I've safe SO long as it is con-
Quoted in vessels that can be sunk by
collision. The modern steamer is theO.
retically built so as not to be sinkable. 1t
isdivided into Water-'ight compartments,
any one or two of which may be pene-
trated without destroying the buoyancy
of the vessel impaired by the sound
state of the remaining compartments.
In practice this thing is not found t.
work. Compartmented vessels continue
to sink. 1t seems that the doors be-
tween the compartments are habituall'
left open. Collisions come suddenly. and
the ship goes down before the open door:
can be closed. They are left open ioI
convenience and for the accommodation
of the cargo. The obvious remedy is t
build the compartments without doors

A NEGRU'S AWFUL FATE,

Dashed to Deati Over the Clifton Dam Falls
In Virginia.
The rain and thawing snow from the
mountains have made Jiickscn's river for
the last two days "a swollen, dangerous
torrent. which yesterday carried a poor
fellow to al awful death. George Wash
ington, colored miner employed at the
ore mines, had been up to a sto1e at the
Forge to purchase some things. Going
down the river bank friend on the other
side called to him to come over, and
Washington jumped into canoe and,
although lot more than fifty yards above
the dangerous falls Of the old Clifton Falls
dam, started to paddle across
AS soon as he got into the current his
boat was tossed like an egg shell and he
dropped his oars, seemingly appalled, at
the awful prospect before blm. In IA few
seconds his boat reached the brink of the
falls and the man, raising his arms above
his head with wild cry of "Oh Lord, :"
was plunged into the gulf and i'll an in
slant was out of sight. The spectator of
| the accident waited considerable time to
| sec if he could catch sight of either man
or boat. but without avail. Since then,
however, the battered, broken boat has
t,ated to the shore far below the falls.
