1t is greatly to be regretted that there is no
steamer available for the Government to send to
the relief Of the thirteen whaling-vessels which
have been caught in the Ice in tho Arctic Ocean.
This Is case for immediate attention. Delay
means death to five or six hundred men, who in
any event, must suffer bitterly before relief reaches
them Efforts are to be made to hasten tho ar
rival Of the Thetis at San Francisco where she
will be promptly fitted out for relief expedition
In the interest of humanity it is to be hoped that
something may be accomplished in time
The Worlds false reports in several pretended
interviews with voters having been exposed it is
waste OF time to discuss the accounts known to
be prepared without regard to truth. Any re-
porter interviewing fifty men, of whom thirty
are for Harrison and twenty for Cleveland, can
make out majority for Cleveland by quietly
emitting to mention fifteen OF the Harrison men.
If he wants to himself time and trouble
at the expense Of honesty, he can simply put some
OF the Harrison men into the Cleveland column,
as The Worlds" reports have been detected m
doing. But when that paper displays a pre-
tended canvass, showing plurality of 49, 900
in this State for Cleveland, and makes out that
result by emitting entirely counties conceded to
have a, $50 majority for Harrison, and by claim
ing over 90, 900 for Cleveland below the Harlem
River, the fraud is rather too obvious. The thing
to be done, and brethren, is to get out the
full vote. and prevent fraud. and let the Dem.
ocrats do all the Dragging.
The fight is wont" jubilantly exclaims the
| Democratic State Committee in an address to the
voters of the State OF New-York." 1t is one thing
to win the fight on October 81; to achieve
victory on November G is another. On the whole,
we prefer the latter.

There is no use in the Democrats affecting an
air Of outraged virtue at the Sacl<vilfe letter.
By their own admission their campaign has had
English inspiration from the outset Here is what
one of their own organs says about it, referring
to Wisconsin:

After this, what wonder that Lord SacSvlle was
ready to send out Democratic campaign documents
