his efforts TO obtain work have

he cried aud begged for more. The

Obliged TO eat small quantity OF

light, and when off Round island
spit she was struck by whirlwiud
and in the twinkling of an eye cap
sized, in about eleven feet of
water.
The schooner Scott Venable was
near by at the time and started
promptly to the assistance Of the
New Venice, but owing TO her
depth was unable to get close
enough to render much assistance.
She lay by, however, until Capt.
Benton pulled ashore aud secured
the services of the schooner AL
mira. The Almira went out Sun.
day morning and by 3 pm. had
the New Venice righted up, and
then towed her in. Capt. Benton
lost an anchor, about S2J worth of
provisions, and few other things.

John r. Lynch, the eOlOred can
dldate for congress in this district
against Judge Van Eaton, spoke
in Pankey's park last Monday to a
large crowd Of colored people
men, women aud children. There
were also present about twenty
white citizens, who listened with
respectful attention to the speech.
The burden of his speech was
upon the tariff issue, of which, how
ever, the vast majority Of his hear
ers knew nothing about, nor ever
will understand. lie was couserv-
ative aud courteous in his language,
and gave the colOred people some
excellent advice. He stated in
conclusion that he wanted to see
a fair aud honest election, aud
that he wanted the votes of both
white aud colOred, but if he was not
honestly elected he did not want a
seat in congress.
Lynch is au educated and intelli.
gent colored man, talks well aud
makes most plausible speech, and
is a hard political worker. He has
the respect of the white people and
of his opponent, but he is on the
wrong side, aud Judge Van Eaton
will defeat him by a large majority
iu the next election.

so far as to say that the writer felt sore be-
cause he failed to get place. Now, in Or

who thus think, it is proper to state that the
writer Of the article referred to is not now
nor has he been an applicant for any posi-

he now nor has he for years held any posi-.
