The APPEAIsEMEsT.-The owners of
the ship John kosenfeld, which was
towed on reef by the tug Tacoma,
have libelled thu tug for damages,
ail, ging carelessness on the part of the
officers of the tug. The Tacoma was
seized by the United States Marshal at
Port Townsend and brought to Seattle.
where she could be safely moorsd uatil
such time rs she could be released. Ihs
owners of the tug, through their at
toTney, ii. q. Strive, applied to Judge
Greene yesterday to appoint appra False rs
TO M the value Of the tug, 30 that sh.
migst be released on boads. 1as case
came np before Judge Greene ia oh4,n
bers during the afternoon. The libel
iauts were represented by q. NJ. Brad
SHAW, of Port townsend. lie Judge
stated that under the rules of Admiralty
practice 1t was the daty of the Clerk of
the Court or his deputy 90 app int the
appraisers. but that owing to the ab
sence OF the [ ierk be would appoint
three appraisers, provided the contest
IIg parties could agree upon e men to
be appointed. The llbeliants of course
are anxious 20 have as high an appraise
ment "a possible placed upon tue ting.
and the owners OF the steamer are lust
as anxious for a low appralsement. The
reasons fos this difference are these: l.
Is a pretty we'll settled princiyls of Law
that the only recourse tn owners II the
hip have Is upon the tu9. The value of
the ship whicn was lost was much
oreater than that ef the tug. When
the tug IL appraised, her owner will fur
pish bond for the value placed upon
the tug by The appraisers and release
abe steamer. After that tue bond and
not tue ste amer will be Irrigated on. II
the tug is appraised at $4,000. and
when the case has been litipates, II the
libeiiants get a Judgment in thslr favor
all thy Can recover il $1,000 IL the
appraisers hx the value VI the steamer
At $4,000, q bond IL given for that
amount. and In case the li1eli ants re-
cover damages from the tug for her full
value. they will get f6o.o0. For this
reason TIE appointment Of appraisers
is very important branch of the pro
ceedings Daring the progress of the
matter before Judge Greene a large
number of names ere suggested. but

Caa you seal the springs OF the ocean deep
Or bid the thuuders In silence sleepf
No the sun that riseth and the seas that how
And the thunden OF Heaven shall answer ''No!''
Can you drive 5oung Spring from the blossom
Or still the earthquakes awful BIRTH
Can the hand &c Times dial backward feet
Or the pulse Of tie Universe Nait for ihec7
He the shaken mo antsins and the flowers that
blow
And the stars of thu Universe answer "Eo.'
Cen you burn the truth In Q martyrs fret
Can you chain my thoughts IN dungeon dire
Or stay my soul As IL scars away
In glorious life from the mouidering cisy7
Tketruth that livetb, and the thoughts that glow
And my spirit ascending answers "Nol"
You have built your temple with gems and pearii
And broken the hearts Of a famished world;
You have crushed your heroes in desert graves
You've made earths children Q race OF slavesi
In the future ages-shall that ruin growf
Ghosts gather against you and answer Mo-
Oh priests Oh despots your doom they speak
Your nights and your winters from earth mus
r3ll.
The chains must melt from the limb and soul.

Il Is God who SPEAKS His words OF might
Ii Is God who acts In His deeds OF right
Sweet EDgs waits like q radiant bride.
HUMANITY springeth elate 10 her side;
Gag you sever that twain that 70 one doth low
Ths voice OF Divinity answers 'Eof'
