~ when he is very dry and on his way to

Logan and SGweIl yesterday IT a pumOer

The Senators met in the passage way lead

Sewcll, who took II leading part ia favor Of

well informed on the subject that they did

sey representative, roughly declared that
Their were still many Senators who were
not properly informed rs to the Filz John
Porter Gaze, and he thought that he would
again make a long speech on the subject.
He wound up by using insulting language
towards SeweIl, and asking him to attend

first seemed overwhelmed with surprise,
but quickly recovering himself retorted IN
kind, asserting that he had said nothing to
which gentleman could take exception.

and were on the point of assailIng each

TrnnhIe in Brazil.

The steady and peaceable progress OF
abolition in Brazil has created cOnsidera-
bic surprise all over the civilized world.
There is some prospect, however, that be-
fore emancipation goes fully into effect all
over the empire its progress will be i'm
peded by disorders Of great magnitude, if
not by civil war. There has already been
several small outbreaks by slaves who
became wearied waiting for emancipa-
ton by the slow and gradual methods
which the abolitiOnists have wisely
chosen to pursue. The most
serious occurred at the town of Rezende,
in the Province of Rio de Janeiro, on the
oath of April. One of the wealthiest cof-
fee merchants and planters of the capital
was openly set upon and slain by three of
the slaves on one of his plantations while
he was making his annual inspection. A
few DAYS afterward they were hanged and
their bodies horribly mutilated by mob
of four hundred Brazilians. This out
rage has caused a reaction against eman-
cipatiOn in that part of Rio, and has had,
doubtless, an unfayorable effect on the
cause elsewhere.
In many sections uprlslnes on the part
of the negroes are feared. At the town
named above, at last accounts the greatest
excitement prevailed. RumOrs came to
Rezende that a large number of slaves on
several contiguous plantations intended
TO attack the town and sack it, and tele-
grams were at once sent to Rio and other
points for arms and assistance. Some
police were sent, and found the peO-
pie under arms and greatly agitated.
As the threatened Instruction did not
take place, there is some reason to sur
mise that the fears Of the people were to
some extent unduly excited by the reac-
tionists.
In the meantime the abolition propa-
gandas are steadily at work. Frequent
meetings are held, and at each of them
many slaves are given their freedom.

ment" have very iIl-defned meanings to
them. They have not lost the aristocratic
notions and the autocratic modes of their
Spanish ancestors. Liberty with them
means to be free from the restrictions OF
the law, and to have the right to Cypress
others at will. They have no traditions
of Magma Charta, and no history Of the
development Of the "Love of liberty pro-
tected by law" which have made a re-
publican form of government possible in
the United States.
AS the Central American States, how
ever. come into closer contact with the
outside world, the people will see the ne
cessity of having a settled government
so as TO secure tranquility and general
prosperity. A large part of the people OF
Central America are instructive revolu-
tionists. Senior Soto acknowledges that
only can union be made possible by the
slow and tedious processes of public edu-
cation and commercial intercourse with
the United States. Perhaps his ideas
may become practicable in the next gen.
Grafton. They will hardly be 50 during
the present.

The two-masted schooner Mary Van
cleZe, Capt. Fred Small, left Port Royal
Tuesday morning, May 81, bound for Sa-
tilla river. at noon the breeze began to
freshen. They shortened sail and stood
till 1890 a. M, when ScipiO Gilland, of
this city, who was steering the vessel,
being relieved by the mate, heard noise,
as if water was in the hold. He reported
to the mate; the Captain was called. An
examination disclosed the vessel leaking
and the water over the keelson. The pumps
were started, but the water continued to
gain on them. About 2 a. m. the vessel
commenced settling by the head; they
launched the boat. and the crew aban-
doned the vessel. They laid by until day
light, when they again boarded the vessel,
and found the water just below the middle
deck. and the vessel listed on one side.
Then the mainmast was cut away, hoping
to right her; finding her still settling, they
left her. AS she did not sink they boarded
her again, and cut away the foremost,
hoping she would thereby be able to float
until they could be rescued. The vessel
continued to settle, and all LETT her but the
Captain and one man. They stayed on
board for the purpose OF nring her so that
she would not be in the way of any pass
had to abandon the idea and swim to the
boat, and the vessel went down. With
difficulty they kept out Of the suction.
This was ON Wednesday morning. They
made sail on their boat, but the heavy sea
and stiff breeze compelled them
to throw everything out of
the boat. Shortly after their
boat filed with water and capsized; one
of the seven was drowned. The balance
of the crew righted the boat and dashed
the spars and oars across her so as to
keep her on her bottom. In this condition
they floated, with every wave breaking
over them, until a. m. on the Both, when
Capt. Small died from exhaustion in the
mates arms. At daylight on the Both,
twO-masted schooner passed, but failed to
see them. Shortly after a steamer
passed, but failed to observe them.
At s a. IN. the schooner Adj
die Jordan, Capt. Hartman, came
in sight and answered their sig
nal. He rounded to in the face OF a strong
wind and heavy sea, and hove them a life
line. rescuing three Of the survivors-the
mate. Albert Grant, and one of the crew,
not having strength TO hold on to the life
line. were drowned. The schooner Addie
Jordan arrived in Brunswick about five
O'Clock Yesterday afternoon, bringing
the men rescued. The survivors are
Scipio Gllland, native OF Bruins
wick, Peter Cuyler and Itaac Fernando.
Those lost are the Captain, Fred Small,
Albert Grant, mate, Nat Robinson and

The tariff reform movement is taking
definite shape in Pennsylvania. On
Thursday last the editors OF over thirty
Democratic and Independent newspapers
Of that State met at Harrisburg to con-
slider the tariff question. They decided to
organize the Revenue Reform Press As
ISOLATION Of Pennsylvania. Its object, as
defined in the constitution, is ''tO prepare
and publish such facts concerning the
present war tariff taxes as will tend to a
better. general understanding Of their mo-
nopoIistic and other oppressive features.
with a view 10 their ultimate reduction

about hfty papers viii become members
Of the association, and revenue reform
sentiments are rapidly spreading among
the people Of that state.
