Navigation Company's dock at Abina. On
November 10th last it became necessary 10

Getchell showed the log, giving very briefly
an account of the affair, and the reporter
was conducted by the first officer TO the
cooks room, where all the circumstances OF
the killing were fully explained. From the
log and the explanations the following state
menl of the case IS made up
son the 1st Of November the cook COM
plaincd to the first officer, Robert Graham,
that the carpenter and four OF the crew
were in league to kill him and he was afraid
of his life. Graham assured him that there
was no danger and he appeared satisfied
He was troubled for several days after
with imaginary fears. On the 7th he was
taken sick, complaining Of pain in his back
and head and went off duty. The captain
gave him some pain-kiler, which relieved
him. Next day he began raving, locked
himselfin his room, allowed no one to see
him, but took medicine us it was passed TO
him through the window. On the 10th he
became worse, allowed no one 20 see him,
threatened to kill any one who attempted
to enter his room, and refused 20 receive

The crew were then armed, and the "Or!, OF

but he continued TO fire. Seeing that his
supply of ammunition still held out it was
determined to disable him, and orders were
given to fire. Some shots were fired
through the door, others through au9ur-

An ORensive Gang.

~
Mr.. Carl SchurZ, who has been an
ofice-seeker constantly since the, day he
first arrived in this county, and four
fifths of the time an ofice-holder, says
Blaine is the "ofice-holder's candidate"
Mr.. George William Curtis has been
railing against the machine" for years
the "machine" being a small body of
politicians who thwarted the will and
preference of the masses of the party.
He is now growing and kicking because
a man who has been, for nine years past,
the undOubted choice of large majority
of Republican voters, and who was twice
cheated out of the nomination by the
"machine," was selected at CHICAGO as
the party's candidate.
The New York Times and the Spring
field Republican, acknowledge that Blaine
was the choice of large majority of the
Republican party, but oppose his election.
These papers assume that the minority,
not the majority, should be permitted to
make nominations. They assume that
they are wiser, purer, better than the
great majority of the Republican voters
of the country.
The Republican voters have defeated
the machine" and the Ioudest howlers
against the machine" now denounce
the people. The masses of the people
nave 6SCOrSO Tie CnO1C0J anu the lOuO6SC
hoWlers against the machine" are now
denouncing the people.
There has been no event in politics,
for the past fifty years, so dishonorably,
so unspeakably infamous, as the conduct
of Curtis, Schurz, Higginson, and that
gang of dyspeptic GROWERS. For shame
less inconsistency, for abandoned disre-
gard of the ideas that they have prevI-
ously maintained, their course has no
parallel in the political history of the
country. Their conduct can neither
be excused or palliated. It justi-
fes the assertion that when they
