A prominent lawyer, one qualified to
speak regarding the matter, said last
evening:
"The whole story is told in the state
ment which Keene has issuef to the
press. It is impossible for him to tell
how many privileges are outstanding.
Keene has paid out millions within the
last twelve months on privileges, which
of course shook the market and made it
improbable to him; within the last two
weeks $40O, 900, and within the last few
months he lost 100000 or $3,OOO,OOO.
There were plenty of offers of help made
to Keene to-day, but he declined them;
his affairs had now reached such IN un-
fortunate shape that he did not know
how he stood, and the acceptance of as
sistance would have postponed the final
end. He preferred as he expressed it, to
"call halt" now and ascertain just how
he stands. l do not believe that his
debts to the members of the stock ex-
change outside of his stock privilege, will
amount to over So, 900. It is not thought
any serious trouble can grow out of

| WASHINGTON, April 2S,-The subcom
mittee of the house committee on post
offices and post roads hayine under con.
sideration postal telegraphy, met to-day
to consider the bill providing for the
contract system. The senate bill on that
subject was taken as basis. A lengthy
discussion took place respecting the
maximum uniform limit at which a rate
contract should be made. Some mem
bers of the committee contended that a
uniform rate should be fixed at 20 cents
for twenty words, while others held that
20 cents was too low to induce competent
corporations to compete for the contract,
and maintained that the maximum rate
should be at least 25 cents. The opinion
is expressed that the full committee will
adopt the latter figure. The bill was not
perfected when the subcommittee adiour-
ned, and definite action was postponed
until tomorrow.

The Times publishes this morning a most
remarkable story in connection with the
Greedy party. 1t says Written documents
now in possession of the navy Departments Mt
" ashingtOn, add To the record ct tuc uii,,ra-
BILE human suffering already published in con-
necton with the finding of the Greedy relief
expedition the most shocking stories of inhu-
manity and cannibaism. All the facts have
been in the possession of Secretary Chandler
for nearly three weeks, bat so closely have
they been guarded and so strictly have the
naval officers and sailors maintained the
silence imposed them, that not even an ink
ling the true and horrible condition Of affairs
has yet reached the public ear. For the sake
of humanity and the American people the
army authorities are endeavoring to keep the
matter hushed, but in the official iuvestiga-
tions, which is almost sure to come, the facts
will undoubtedly come out. Every effort will
presumably be taken to prevent it, but the
truth must be known in time.
1t will be remembered that in Commander
Schley's first despatch TO Secretary Chandler
announcing the finding Of the Greedy party,
he said, II would respectively suggest that
the bodies now on board be placed in metallic
cases here for safer and better transportation
in sea way. This appears to me impera-
/ tive"
| As Mr.. Chandler was at West Point. the
| despatch was answered by Rear Admiral
Nicholas, acting secretary of the navy lie
said, use your own discretion about the
care and transportation of the bodies" Sec.
Chandler afterward telegraphed, prepare
them according to your judgment and bring
them home" 1t took some days to prepare
the iron caskets, which were all belted and
| riveted. 1t was remarked at the time by exc
/ perienced officers that this would hardly have
been necessary for the preservation Of the
| frozen bodies.
/ The design was obviously to prevent all
possibility OF friends Of the dead sailors being
given an opportunity to look at their remains

The steam Ferry Boat Union sunk at

BATH. Aug. -.


The steam ferry boat, Union, plying be
tween Bath and Woolwich, filled with water
and sunk at her wharf Monday night, Capt
Hogan was at the wharf at four o'clock,
Tuesday morning, and discovered that the
boat was rapidly filling but did not sink. He
raised an alarm, but was unable to obtain
any assistance. Engine City of Bath was
called cut, but before she could arrive and
set to work, the Union had sunk. 1t is
thought that the ''tiood" cork which is used
to fill the boiler was left open. A crew of
men commenced to raise the steamer Tues
day forenoon, and pump her out. She lies
at the bottom, and at high tide is nearly GOV
cred with water. The boat will be ready to
resume her route in a few days.

record let us give il to them. The democratic
party, by saying nothing, hopes to sneak back
into power. The republican party is not
afraid 10 assert its principles or exhibit its
record. 1t has been said that "Maine is
good State TO go from" But we are going to
show the country that in one instance at least
il is good State to so to. James q. Blaine
is well known His fame is wide spread. He
is going to be known in the future history of
the world As one of the best presidents the
country has ever had There is an attempt
in some quarters TO injure our candidate for
vice president. Somebody said he was illit-
crate We will warrant that he can speak
more languages than Mr.. Lyman of Massa-
chusetts, who criticized him. If you had
case in court which would YOU select to defend
your interests, Gen. Logan or Mr.. Lymang
In war, which Of the gentlemen would you
prefer! had rather have one Logan than
10000 presidents Of Harvard colleges. Some
critic finds an awful reason why Gen. Logan
should not be supported. What is itg John
4. Logan ate with his knife There is not
soldier in the country but what loves Gen.
Logan from the crown of his head TO the solcs
of his feet. Attack Logan and you aim at
every soldier in the United States, But
Blaine and Logan will be elected in every
State throughout the Union excepting where
men are shot for voting the republican
ticket

Say what you please about Ben. Butler, he

men. What did this convention doy They

understood that We are 10 carry West Nir-
einia on the issue of protection, Give us
free count in South Carolina and Florida as
the democratic party ask and we will carry
both these States in November Senator
Frye touched the tariff qoestion. If 1t had
not been for the democratic party the tariff
on sugar would have been cut down 80 per
cent. That party said no, because sugar is
raised in a former rebel and slave State.
Several Louisiana capitalists were referred TO
who bad taken a stand in the republican
party by reason of its prot, ction principles.

would give Blaine majority of $4,000. Today

1850 the earnings of this nation have amount
ed to enough to purchase the whole German
empire. Had IL not been for your brave
soldiers you would not have been worth
enough to buy Chilli. Mr.. Frye said there
was no reason why greenbackcrs should not
vote the republican ticket. Every question
except the currency, which was made an
issue by the greeuback party, is taken up in
the republican platform. The republican
party has proved itself the friend of the lab

Der election in Maine. A voice then he will
be elected. The influence of Msiue's verdict
will have powerful influence upon the West.
II the majority in Maine is light every doubt
ful State in the country is imperilled; ifheavy,
it will give courage to all the people of the
great West. If in September there is a ma
joriiy of $1,000 for Robe, the West will in
scribe it upon their banners, and from that
time the victory is won. Great applause.

Hon. f. Moody BOynton.

Hon. T.. Moody Boynton was next introdu-
ced. He supported James G. Blaine because
he is a true American, and because he has
due regard for the rights of mankind. He
was not the candidate of the politicians but
of the people, composing great party whose
aims were to advance and promote the cause
OF humanity and the interests Of the whole
country, and whose platform was more per
feet than any since the Declaration OF indie
pendence. He said that the currency question
on which he had differed with the republican
party, had been settled by the supreme court,
as he contended it should be. He now joined
most heartily in the campaign for the princi-
Piles enacted by the republican party at
Chicago
