BosToN, Mass, July 9.-Upon the
arrival here yesterday on the steamer
Halifax of the surviving passengers of
the French line steamer La Bourgogne,
which was lost of Sable Island on July
i, corroborative evidence was obtained
as to the awful scenes that followed
the collision. Statements from trust
worthy persons show that the horrors
Of the scene are without par
allel in the history of ocean disas-
ters, and that human life was cruel
IL wasted by the lack of discipline on
the ship and the savage ferocitY of the
sailors, who, in the hope of saving their
own lives, wantonly sacrificed those of
women, children and men, to whose ap-
peals for help these human monsters
turned deaf ears. Some, at least, of La
Bourgogne's officers were almost as
brutal in their treatment of the passen-
gers as the savage crew, who slashed
right and left with their keen edged
knives, intensiying the horrors of the
situation.
NEW YORK, July 9.-All the
survivors of the crew and three
of the rescued steerage passengers

arrival in the city last night at the
Grand Central depot. The men kept
out Of sight in La Touraine's forecastle
to day. NJ. Charpentier, the French
vice consul, said the crew of La Bour-
gogne would be in the custody of the
admiralty court until there was find
ing of some sort in regard to the wreck
The steamer Grecian, which towed the
ship Cromartyshire to Halifax, after

the Spanish terms are as follows:
Cuba to be independent, but to pay
Spain an indemnity for several years.
Spain to keep a minor Cuban port un-
til this indemnity shall have been paid,
The great powers to send small de-
tachment OF troops to certain Cuban
ports. The Philippine Islands to be in
dependent. The United States to occu-
py Porto Rico as security for the pay
ment of a war Indemnity, the amount
of which shall be negotiated These

SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1858.

THOUGH THE democratic party can
not possibly hope to gain any credit Tor
the part its representatives played Iii
Congress at the late session thereof, 1t
can certainly draw some store OF COM
fort from the fact that the republicans
had an overwhelming majority IN that
BODY. and are therefore solely respon'
sible for all of its proceedings. In the
history of the country there never was 3
Congress that deserved more adverse
criticism for its sins both of commission
and omission, and a political sin Is a
crime. The two Dingley tariff bills 1t
enacted impose cruel burdens upon the
poor, while they exempt the incomes OF
the rich from taxation, and the war 1t
brought on will continue those burdens
upon succeeding generations, besides
inhictiug upon the present one Ire
death and manning OF thousands OF
American soldiers and sailors, and the
suffering of those who depended upon
them for support.

ACCORDING to the report of the l. :.
Senate committee to whom the investi-
cation of the matter was referred, the
NJ. E. Church South is in no sense to
blame for the misstatements made in
reference to the claim OF that church
that recently passed Congress, but that
the agents of the church are. AS the
bishops of the church declared that
if the Senate approved what had been
said on its floor, which is that the pas
sage of that claim was due to misstate
ments, they would refund the entire
amount, some curiosity is natural con-
corning the result. AS the claim Is just
and legal, the money received from 1t
should be retained. no matter now me
passage of the bill was effected. 1t
the devil can be fought with fire, good
church claims that cannot succeed any
other way, can certainly afford to en-
plov the services of lobbyists.
