A NARROW EsCApE-English papers give
accounts of the Cunard steamer Aurania,
which went ashore on the rocks at Bull
Head, Dorsey Island, in dense fog. The
vessel left New York on June for Queens
town, and experienced very calm passage
all the way across the Atlantic. The Au-
rama had 4S5 cabin and 140 steerage pas
sengers, and up to midday on Wednesday,
18th inst, had made most rapid passage,
and but for the fog, which we'll nigh resulted
in the loss of the vessel, she would have &C
complished another splendid run. During
the afternoon Of Wednesday, when nearing
the Irish coast, dense fog was experienced,
the speed was reduced, and she was stopped
occasionally to take soundngs. 1t was for
tunately in one of these intervals, during
which soundings were being taken and the
engines were stopped, that the Aurania
struck the rocks
What occurred ut this moment is thus
told by passenger AT about half past
seven on Wednesday evening ! was i'll com
pany with some of my fellow passengers i'll
the fore part of the vessel, when we sud
denly perceived an agitation of the smooth
sea in front. The men on the lookout i'm
mediately made the captain, who was on the
bridge, aware Of the imminent danger in
which the vessel lay. The engine had been
stopped, and the way Of the vessel had been
! check ed when she struck rock about sixty
| feet high, which we did not see until we
came into immediate contact with it. The
vessel bounded hack and struck the rock u
| second time. On closer observation we
found that we were in a small blight of the
| land, and were surrounded in front and on
either side by cliffs about sixty feet out OF
the water. The water must have been very
deep up 10 the very edge of the rocks. The
engines were Immediately reversed, and
with such violence that one Of tho piston
rods got heated. a dreadful stiffness came
over the passengers when the captain WAS
heard ordering the fore watertight compart.
ment to be closed and all hands on deck.
He ordered the boats to be lowered and
manned and all the passengers to retire to
the aft part of the vessel.
"The passengers were greatly terrified, bAt
they did not lose their self-pOssession,
and there was no rushing wildly about, and
no panic such as is likely to take PLACE
on such occasions. They mutely obey
ed the captains directions, and beyood
some slight emotion on the part of the
| ladies the passengers wore thoroughly sclf-pnS
! scsScd. The captain behaved with remarkable
| GOODNESS, and his orders were Obeyed by thor
| oughly disciplined crew. The reversing of the
| engines was effective in Immediately removing
| the ship from the rocks

The MASSACHUSETTS Independents say 1t
will be impossible to prevent the trading OF
votes in that State between Blaine and But
Ter in case the latter be nominated for Gov
ernor, Butler votes going to Blaine and
Blaine votes to Butler. And the Philadel-
phia 1meriean, a Blaine paper, says it is
certain that Butler is not uniriendly to
Blaine and would enjoy seeing Massachu-
sets give a large majority to the man whom
Beacon street most dslikes. And yet some
inconsiderate people assign as reason why
Governor Cleveland should not be nominal
ed, the fact that General Butler is opposed

Now THAT the session of Congress is
rapidly drawing 10 close, wouldn't it be
lust as we'll for Mr.. Edmonds, the temporary
president of tie Senate. to close his absurd
assumption of the part of Bismarck, in refer
ence to the resolution OF the Virginia Legis-
lature requesting General Malone to resign,
and allow that resolution to be presented to
the Senate, the body to which it was adj
dressed, through him? The part doesn't
suit him at all and his attempt to play it only
renders him ridiculous. He would have
just as much right to withhold from the
Senate communication from one Of the
departments of the Government as he has to
refuse to present the communication ad-
dressed to it by the Legislature of the State
of Virginia.

ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 80.

WHILE, OF course, the candidates of the
national democratic convention should be
selected principally for their strength III
their own party, there should be due regard
for the independent vote, which so often, as
notably at the last gubernatorial election,
in New York, determines the iSsue OF cleo
tions. There is no State OF the Union IL
which the proposition more lilly apples
than the one to which reference is made.
In it there is large class of intelligent Vo-
tiers who are not bound by the traditions OF
either great party, whose only political aim
is the stability, prosperity and welfare OF
the country. and who believe more in the
upright discharge of official duty than IN
the cant and seneralities of professional
politicians. In order that the vote OF
this class NAV be attracted to the
democratic party next November the
candidates of that party must be pure men
whose political lives have been in harmony
with that spirit which demands honesty
and reform in the conduct Of the affairs OF
this general Government The indepen'
dent voters are discerning nell and &C
knowledge no leaders but their own Judg-
ment and conscience. If the representa-
tives of the democratic party, when they
shall arrive at Chicago, shall put before the
country candidates whose aims and ambl
tons have been parallel with what is best
and purest in the system OF republican
government, they may be assured of the
support of the independent vote, and that
will secure them success at the election
next November

man paper published in this country, says,
that with Governor Cleveland, New York
would be absolutely sure" for the demo-
cratic ticket, and it believes the same of
every other State where voters of German
birth or descent hold the balance of power
between the republican and democratic
parties. But it warns the national demo-
Gratis of the danger they will run in the
improbable event of their allowing John
Kelly and his methods to interfere with the
enforcement of the popular will SO patiently
manifested in every State and Territory OF
the Union.

DYING FROM STARvANIoN.-A Helena

DYING FROM SHENANDOAH Helena,
Montana, dispatch says: Major Allen
Piegan Indian agent for Northern Montana
reports that the Indians are dying fast from
the scant food supply at the agency. The
carpenter has furnished thirty collins within
the past month, but it is believed that the
deaths are fully thrice that number, as the
Indians have great dislike to buryiug their
dead, preferring the old custom Of placing
the bodies in trees or in stone piles on high
hills. In another week the supplies will be
entirely exhausted, and the 5000 Indians
on the reservation will be left to starve or
subsist on the cattle of the settlers. Trouble
is feared

The NEGROES in the Petersburg district,
in which they have large majority, are
talking about running one of their own
race, instead Of an "apostate for the price
of his apostacy' for Congress. Should they
do SO they will do what is right, and just
what any other race would do in similar cir
cumstances. They have been keeping white
scalawags, who are Of no more benefit to the
district, and reflect no more honor upon it,
than one Of themselves, long enough, and
as they will not vote for white man capable
of attending to the districts interest, and
who would take AN equal stand with the
ablest men in the House, the next best
thing they can do would be to send to Con-
gress the best man in their own race.

THE NORTHERN republicans who opposed
Mr. Blaine before the Chicago convention,
on account Of the pecuniary corruption
which stains his record, refuse to support
him now, as his nomination does not re-
move those stains. But the Virginia Ma
honeites, who said harsher things about
him than were ever uttered by his
Northern opponents, now throw up their
hats for him, and delight to make public
their alteration Of the man whom they so
recently denounced But their audacious
etfrontery is more admirable than the mean
spirit evinced by the straghtout republi-
cans, who, though Blaine men from the
frat, meekly submit to the domination of
the man who endorses the assertion that
they are "apostates for the price of their
apostacy," and who has treated them in ac-
cordance with that assertion, and without the
faintest effort ut resistance patiently agree
TO vote his electoral ticket, which does not
recognize their political existence.

IT WOULD be great blessing if the demo-
cratic party could he we'll rid of this man
Kelly. Under his leadership, Is was the
case under his worthy pre- lccessor Tweed,
Tammany exists only upon corrupt bur
gains with the republicans aud populations
winked at by INSCRIPTIONS officials. In
1876 Kelly, with his minions, appeared In
force at the st. Louis convention bitterly
ass,,iling and denouncng Tilden, who, he
said, if nominated, could not carry New
York; but, despite his threats and predic-
tions, Tilden was nominated, and his ma
iority in New York was upwards of 10000.
Hancock was his candidate then, and when
nominated in 1880 he was badly beaten i'll
New York-sold out, it was charged anu
generally believed, by this same Kelly and
his gang, who have grown rich upon the
fruits of treason to their party. Like Tilden,
Cleveland has been tested and found TO be
an incorruptible patriot, and is not the man.
ner of man to suit the like of Kelly. The
idea Of such man protesting TO be an adj
mirer and supporter Of the pure and able
statesman from Delaware! Let no Virginia
delegate be deceived by this mans talk
they have only to remember '16.
