THE sEDGWICK CASE.

We have given space to the long des-
cription of the alleged doings of Envoy
Sedgwick in the City of Mexico, only to
give our readers a chance to see both
sides of the case, and Judge for themselves.
We cannot refrain from calling attention
to the fact that the statements therein
made are second-handed, none of them
coming from men who themselves saw
the things they describe. The mean
part of the whole affair is the hue and cry
raised about Sedgwick's drinking at the
entertainments in his honor, by crowd
OF men who would all do the same under
the same circumstances, and the drag
ging of the matter to national notice, not
for any harm it could do Sedgwick, but
only to cast odium on Secretary Bayard
and the Administration, who never had,
and have not now, any other record of
Sedgwick than that OF a gentleman
learned in international law. Ii some
mean, contemplate fellow should go to
Washington during the Republican re-
gime, or even now, when Congress is in
session, and spy out the private actions
of the high priests of the Republican
party, and publish them to the world,
what showing he could make! If some
fellow did this, the viais OF wrath of each
of the papers that have scored Sedgwick,
would be poured out on his head, and he
would be classed as all that was mean
and despicable, and yet he would hurt
none but the men exposed In this case,
the man sought to be pilloried, is not the
object of the meanness, but the Admins
tration that sent him there, and men,
who, under Republican rule, enjoyed
certain soft snaps in Mexico, which they
lost on the accession of the Democratic
party to power, have caught up private
party, of which Sedgwick was member,
and sought to put odium on the Demo-
cratic Administration, by exposing what
he did do, and adding to it much that he
did not do. If Sedgwick, in the face of
his denial, and that of the high officials
who dealt with him, could be proven
guilty of the low-lived acts accredited to
him, every Democrat in the land would
cry out for his instant dismissal, but as
they know from long experience, how
mean, bitter and vindictive are the out
runners of the Republican party in their
search after campaign material, they,
with all other good men, will await the
arrival home OF Sedgwick, and then in
sist on a clearing of his name from the
Odium sought TO be thrown on him, or
swift Punishment from the party and its
employ. The right of a hearing is given
to Cinnamon, but the Republican press,
glo ating over scandal, would deny this
right to a leading light of the American
bar, solely because he is employed by
the Dem ocrats.

The action OF the management of the
Associated Press in sending $500 to the
brave men who stood at their posts in
Charleston during the trying days of the
earthquake, and thus enabled the world
to learn the ruin and harm wrought by
the visitation, is very good, so far as it
goes, but the average reader will wonder
why the sum was not larger, considering
the enormous wealth of the donors.
Newspaper men, as rule, who are out
ON the hunt for news, will go to any length
OF suffering or hardship to get facts, and
consider it only part of their lot to do so,
but in such case as the Charleston earth
quake, they became heroes indeed, and
their work was of untold value to the
company and the world at large, just as
much as it was to the poor people of
Charleston. 1t was gentlemanly act to
the men, but it should have
been done in a manner commensurate
with the extraordinary nature of their
work, and 1t should not hare been tele-
graphed all Ocer the country as specimen
of generosity.

plaudits of mankind, but if-as the
chances decidedly portend-he should
make miserable failure, his trip will be
classed among the many foolish under
takings of mankind, and soon drop from
public notice. There is growing feel
ing among the large majority OF the
Christian world, as evidenced by the
utterances of the religious press, that this
searching after what was not intended
for human knowledge, is direct flying
in the lace Of Providence, and is bound
to meet defeat and disaster, and bring
confusion OH those who try it, just as it
was brought on the builders of Babel.
Let us hope it may not be so, for the
safety of the adventurous man who has
gone to brave the dangers of an Arctic
season in the interests of science.

AMERICAN SHIP-BUILDING.

In the recent yacht races off New York
harbor, the success OF the American over
the English yacht, proves that our trans
Atlantic cousins have not yet struck a
model that can compete with the results
of American genius, in sailing in all
weathers. The wide range of the power
OF the wind at the various stages of both
races, as well as OF the race which was
not finished, proves that both boats had
all they could stagger under, at times,
and again, were idly Tapping their sails
in the long ground swell of the ocean.
Any person conversant with yachting
affairs will admit that the races were
fairly ran, and that the Mayfower fairly
won her laurels. The gallant gentleman
who sailed the English yacht acquiesced
in the Judgment, and the result is that
the Americas cup, taken by that yacht
in her great race over at Cowes in the
English channel, from all England's
competitors, will remain a trophy of that
and this later victory, on this side of the
ocean. Aside from the great national
sport OF yachting to which these inter-
national contests give new life,
and into which they inject energy
and pride in home built crafts,
the effect on marine architecture in gen.
eral will be great and for the untold
benefit of all who carry on trade on the
ocean. The iron ship-bulding age has
had its run, and the coasts of the mari
time world are swarming with tramp
steamers, each eating out the others
vitals in reducing the costs for freight,
and thereby making the whole invest
ment in freight-carrying steamships a de-
cided loss. To counteract this, sailing
ships must again come to the fore, and
aside from their sea-going qualifications
they must be swift, an | the swiftest
will win in the new race for
commercial supremacy now about
to be inaugurated in long-dstance
voyages. Even the coasting trade of the
American Atlantic seaboard is being
changed in this manner, and the Golfers
of the past decade are giving place to
leviathan vessels of 1000 and 5000 tons
carrying capacity, whose chiefest virtue
is in being so rugged fore and aft that
they can lie close to the wind and make
quick passages in all weathers. 1t is ex-
tending to the off-shore carrying trade,
and the coast OF Maine now has more
ships on the stocks than ever before
since war times, and all of
them are designed both for
carrying capacity and speed. The
English merchant marine is nearly
all iron, and it has been proven that, all
other things equal, a wooden hull will re-
turn more money on her investment in
the first fifteen years of service than an
iron one will, and the service of an iron |
hull after fifteen years is not worth the |
excess in her original cost over wooden |
hull. Notwithstanding the constant cry !
of Where is our merchant marine" |
there is now under taxation a larger |
amount of marine property than ever be- |
fore since war times, and il is steadily in |
creasing, and the ships are wooden ones |
and all built for speed.

ARCTIC EXPLORATION.

Colonel Glider, the newspaper man
who gained some unpleasant notoriety
recently, through a suit to recover
money by lady friend of his, has at
last started in earnest for his trip to
northern lands, and though his attempt
at first looked very like farce, he has
placed it among the facts of the day, and
may yet succeed in doing more than
other adventurous men, who went before
him with greater means, and far greater
noise. That these periodical trips will
be taken by adventurous men is as GER
tain as the movement of the earth thev
seek to investigate, and proves that
the spirit of enterprise and daring,
inherent in the American character, is not
dying out, but expanding with the
growth OF the race, and will eventually
lead them to the uttermost corners of the
earth. The side of the polar question
which furnishes material for the OBJ
iections of the skeptic, doubter and
everyday business man, is, unfortunately,
however, just as assailable now as it was
hundred years ago, and men will ask in
vain for an answer to their question
what good can accrue to the human race
by unlocking the mysteries OF the frozen
ends of the earth? The religious man
claims that the 0mnipotent never in
tended that man should go there, or the
country would have been made possible
Tor him TO exist in and turn to his uses,
while the dollars -and-cents man saws:
Even If we prove there is a passage
there, and continent above it, the cost
OF getting through the passage with the
chances of loss of lite and property would
never permit its use by the commercial
world" 1t is the scientist however who
stands in the breech of public opinion, and
tells the people that thorough knowl-
edge of the formation of the globe at or
near its axis would reveal many things
Of incalculable benefit to mankind, and
be sure to still that feverish anxiety
which characterizes the human family,
to bring all the earth under domination.
Colonel Glider starts out with the best /
wishes of every lover of bravery and dar-
ing and should he make a success
Of his trip will be entitled to the |

Disappearance OF Birds.

The Utica IN, Ky Herald says that
well'known naturalist of that city, who
has been visiting many different towns in
that and adjoining counties during the
last two or three months, reports that the
smaller birds, with tho exception Of the
English sparrow, have decreased rapidly
in numbers, and there Is every reason to
fear that some species will disappear on"
tirely from tho locality. The wren, for OK
ample, Is exceedingly scarce, tho bobo-
links arc disappearing rapidly, and now
not more than one Ia to DO seen where
there were fifty q year or two
ago. BluObirds, yollowbIrls, orioles,
and otner brightplumNged songstCrs arc
rapidly passing away, aud even the
hawks, crows, and owls are not spared.
The dlmlnution Is attributed to the de-
mands OF fashion for the ornamentatlOn
Of ladies' hats, and to small boys who have
mania for collecting eggs. Fruit trees
and all sorts Of vegetation arc suffering
from the rRvagos OF insects which the
birds formerly destroyed.
