Kansas and the southwest generally show that
the railroads are in trouble from the drifted

Saw a Wreck Down the River.

Capt. Joseph passeno of the little steamer
Cecile returned yesterday from trip to the
lower Potomac and reports that on Thursday
night. owing to there being a severe gale blow
ing, he put in what is known as the Malta
woman river for shelter. No other craft was
then on the river or in sight, but the next morn
ing, he once more turned his boat in
the direction Of the Potomac, he saw lying
half way out Of the water, her tori sails
Topping to the wind, a small schooner
or pungy. As most Of the boat was under
water her name could not >be made out. No
one was on board, but Capt Pssseno says he
feels certain that the craft was wrecked BY the
gale he escaped from. The deserted wreck was
loaded with manure.
The discovery was yesterday reported to the

Sail Navigation Suspended,

Sail navigation is suspended and the side
wheel feet threatened with ice blockade. The
Norfolk and Washington propellers are coming
through on time, and there is little possibility
that they will be compelled to suspend, pro-
vided as they are with double skins, ice-beaks
and great engines.
The Sue. Washington for Baltimore. is laid
up at Alexandria. Schooner Alethea for George
town is iced III at Riley's. The ferry steamers
are running with difficulty. Several barges OF
coal for Stephenson & Bro. are frozen in at
shepherds. Tho Manchester has been substi-
tuted for the River Queen and left for Giymont
this morning, but her agents do not know
whether she went through. The river is re-
ported frozen to point below Indian Head
and badly gorged at Fort Washington.
Christmas is being celebrated in an orderly
manner along the front.

years have In SO goodly numbers thronged to
! this place. not 30 much to show your devotion
to me. great as that was, so great as to touch
the very heart Of my heart but Your devotion
to glorious and u holy cause. l say it were
an injustice to you not to note the fact that an
| event happened some years ago that wrought q
great change in my life-a most bitter change
for me.
Il was not born to be a mere agitator. or a
professor Of political economy, but most Of all.
IL know myself, was born to be a teacher of
Gods truths to men. And whilo it may be an
honor, and it is, to receive such vocation, and
one may well be thankful for the honor. he NAV
well be conscious that it 10 still more an awful
burden, that it is terrible responsibility, and
the man who knows himself and kno VS. the atti.
tude and sanctlty Of that vocation may be
thankful-must be thankful, but he cannot be
proud. And. therefore, it ID in no mere boastfrI
ness, but Of humble thsnkfulness that repeat
that fondly trust that it was not without a vo-
| cation from God that approached His holy
affairs to receive sscredotal ordination.
''Thoss Of you who know me beet know that
it was never my wish to leave those affairs, to
depart from that sanctuary. But if, when oc-
casion offered, l came upon this same platform
to speak to my fellow men a brother it was
always the paramount thought with me that
while exercising my rights, whether from the
secular platform or the tail Of . cart or the
might feel that no place was 90 merely secular
or 20 unholy in any part OF Gods world a. not
| to be eminently fit to preach to nv brother
men Of the fatherhood OF God and the brother
! hood Of men,"
There was great cheering when he had ut
tered these words, and man in the back Of tho
hall cried out. "Hurrah for the peoples party"
DIR. McGlynn referred to his celebration Of mass
! in the morning and continued: "And today I, who
was excommunicated, have communicated.
think none of you will think so ill Of me a. to
believe that should have partaken Of that un-
! speakably holy sacrament and drunk of that
unspeakably sacred chalice ii my conscience
were not at rest"
DIR. NaLYSN HAS NOT APoLoorzRD.
The much mooted question as to the terms
on which DR.. McGlynn was restored to his
functions as . priest Of the Roman Catholic
Church was partially answered last night by
the priests declaration that he had made no
apologies to Rome.
After his lecture in Cooper Union reporter
asked him on what terms he bad been restored
| to the priesthood
| 'Well, I think said enough about mysslf m
the lecture" replied the clergyman.
"Wiu the conditions of the ccncilistion Be
