SPEECH OF SECTOR WILSOn AT SARATOC.
Saratoga, Jul 25. At the close of the tern
perance meeting at Leland's Opera Honse, last
evening, the Hon. Henry Wilson was sere
naded by Ilall's Band. It had Leen announced
that he would speak from the balcony of the
Union Hotel, in the hotel grounds, on national
affairs, and a Tery large assemblage of ladies
and gentlemen had congregated. After re
peated calls Mr. Wilson appeared on the bal
cony, and was introdaoed by Judge Sackett, of
Saratoga. When the applause had subsided he
spoke as follows:--
Ladies and Gentlemen : I am told that It is
expected that 1 should speak to you on public
anairs. Well, it is rather late in the nUht. I
think, to make a speech on the affairs of the
nation, but as I am asked to say a word or two
I a ill state my sentiment aud opinions in
icpard to the present aspect of the public
aflaus of the country. I may say to you, to
beeia with, that I am accustomed to take hope
jul views oi public ailalrs. During; the dark
hours of the war the darkest hours of the war
I bad faith in the country and faith in God
and our democratic institutions, and I never
douHed theiesnlt. Since the close of the war
we hare bad trials quite as severe, and I never
had any doubt of the result. The result is to be
a united and Iree nation. The sublime
fai'h ot the fathers is to be the living
faith of the children. (Applause.) We are
to have a united country, coTipre
nendinp more than 1s now within the bounds of
the country. We have carried the Has up to the
North Pole on one side of the continent, and
many 3 ears will not pass away before it will also
go tbereon the other side. I do not think it
worthwhile to hurry this. It is our manliest
destiny it is in the luture we cannot belo it if
we would. But the country, whether compre
hending, more or less than the territory of North
Aoienca, is henceforth and forever to be a free
country, where every man is the peer of every
other man. (Applause.) We have passed
through a bloody etiueicle. 1 am am one those
who believe that It was Inevitable that it was
one of the great wars of the human lamily. It
was ft struggle on this continent between the
democratic ideas ot the Declaration ot Indepen
dence and the i-ystem of ho mail bondage; and in
such a contest there could be no doubt of the
Tet-ult. It was one ol God's wars, and lor mvselt
I accept it as such; audi accept its results. When
we had war I belies ed in prosecu
ting it vigorously. Now we have peace,
I want to prosecute peace vigorously.
We who stood oy our country, and
toe cause of liberty, justlce.and humanity, have
triumphed. We have triumphed at a tearful
cost. We are proud and strona; we have lifted
the country towards the heavens; we are a
theater people thau ever before. We have de
stroyed human bondage: we have subjugated
and conquered a brave and heroic portion ot the
country, and now the great work is done. I am
for welcoming tbera back with warm and gene
rous greetings, trusting that the eauses of all our
troubles have pa seJ away forever, and that
nereaiter in the future we shall be friends and
brothers as we were in the mornins; of the Re
public. (Cheers.) It has recently been my for
tune to travel tor four or Ave weeks through the
Rebel State", and as tbev invited me to speak to
tbem, I said just what I thought. I held them
responsible before man and Uod for every
drop of blood shed in th's country, for
eveiy life lost, for every dollar ex
pended. I spoke to them plainer than I
ever spoke even to the peopled Massachusetts ;
but I tried to do it in a spirit o. kindness that I
leally lelt. I pitied their misfortunes. Tney
were more severely conquered than I dreamed
ot. I tell jou here to-Light mat the people of
that section of the country put into the contest
all they bad of blood and of treasure, and they
were defeated, utterly annihilated, their power
gone. No man who loves his country and his
fellow-men, and who regards those States as
Eart of the country, and tne people as part of
is countrymen, can witness the condition ol
that section wit bout having his heart soltened
and stirred within him. For myself, while I
spoke to tbem in plain words, I desired to speak
to tbem in kindness and In tnirty two speecnes
I made in that section of the country, to various
kinds of audiences, I never received a hiss, or
whi-per, or unkind word. But I have now in
numerable invitations irooi various portions
of ihat country to speak, which I cannot
accept. I trust that the men of the
North, who can afford to be generous as
well as just, while toey have resolved that
treaton shall never more sway the couueils of
the country, will be kind and generous, and tor
Hive the faults of their err.ee countrymen.
Tinnionve i 1 tniHt that the nubile men of our
ft
x rnon ot tne coumrv wm iu

eeneiation; they nave looked only on one side
on ine siue diiw.t,""v..,

instil miotic Now, when the truth is presented
when the cause of Liberty, Justice, and
Humanity is presented to them they listen as
no people ever before listened, and 1 say to you
it is the great missionary ground of this
country. Kind words, words addressed to the
heart, conscience, and reason, will do more there
than in any other portion of the country lor
eood. - So much for the portion pf that portion
01 the country, as I comprehend it. And now I
will teli you what I think has brought about the
rapidly improved condition tit that section of the
couniry.and that is tbe overthrow of the policy of
the President ef the United S.ntes, and the utter
hooelessness on the part of the people that the
President's policy cau ever bo sustained by the
nation; (Loud cheers.) That policy brought
bitter words, violent deeds, wrootr and out
raees. Loyal men were everywhere insulted,
ireedmen were outraged, and even murdered;
but when the Congress ot the United Stated, sus
tained by the voice of the people who had tougM
them on 600 battle-fields, laid down tbe terms
and conoitlons of reconstruction, and when the
President's policy was repudiated, when the r
hopes in Nortuera fiiends fulled, when their
hopes in the Supreaie Court tailed i abetter,
then they saw tbat they most "bra it to the
authority of the nation, and they are doing
it with a very good grace. There is another
thing that has contributed to the peaceful aspect
... o ... .ho wtut,u iittaiir in lu-'urrec-
tlon. This is the billot put into the hands of
600,000 black men. These men, lei rue say
ill bring these States back lojal to the country,
and fully and unreservedly committed to tne
cause of human liberty in America, (Applause.)

same; and then, gentlemen, I predict that these
states will enter on a liberal, progressive policy,
such as is porcued in the New England ana great
Central and Western States of the country.
There is not a Democratic flag floating from the
Potomso to Florida, snd they dare not raise one.
The people of the South will tell you that the
Kepublicant never cheated or deceived them.
They were led into the Kebellien by words of
encouragement from the North. But they will
tell jou the men who said these words had to
go into the tight, and tbey met them on
battle fields, Then the old Henry Clay Whigs,
who are in the ranks of the opposition of
that part of the country, let them raise
the Democratic flag, and they fly and
carry thousands with them luto the ranks of the
Republican party. The old national men of '33
sre doing the same. Of course the followers of
John C. Calnoun and his theories of government
would not be expected to do anything but to
maintain tne position and spirit of hostility; but
they will be detested, and sink down one by
one to disappear in the end from the govern
ment of the country, as the Tories of the Revo
lution disappeared. For myf elf, I want no more
punishments than have already been inflicted
on these men. They have suffered, and have
been disappointed more than any body of men
in the history of the world. Seven years ago
thete cbieltaln trod the halls of Congress, proud
and defiant. Tbey raised the banners of revolt.
Tbey went out to establish a slaveholding re
public that should include Mexico and Cuba,
and command the commerce ot the world.
They would be the great agricultural por
tion of the country that should produce
cotton, rice, and sugar. They wore to be
omnipotent. They went into this great
struggle to make' slavery strong, to extend
it into the Territories of the United States, and
they came out of the contest without the power
to bold slavery anywhere in tbe country. (Ap
plause.) Their ideas, principles, and policies
are all gone lorevcr. The hope and asoiration
of their souls arc lost. They are ballled, de
feated, humiliated, conquered. For one I have
it not in my heart to pursue the system of con
fiscation, or any other systems that shall bear
harder than those that have already been
adopted to bring tbem into the country, and
make them a part of the country. I dou't
want an Ireland or Poland in America. (Ap
plause.) But I want free States, where every
man is the peer of every otherman where every
man, no matter what blood may course through
his veins, no matter where he may have
been oorn, is a man wnom uoo made and lor
whom Chust died, and who shall possess eciual
rights with everybody else. We want tree
States, liee men, and that policy that has been
inaugurated will be accomplished witbin twelve
months, and all those States within a year will
be brought back luto the Union. Thev will not
have the power to dictate the policy of the coun
try, but they will be tbe radical and progressive
portion of it. We shall see these thine, and I
say to you to-night, gentlemen, not merely as a
partisan, but as an American citizen, loving my
country and my wnole country, that it Is enough
to make the heart throb with gratitude to
Almighty God for what we nave witnessed
during the last seven years ol progress. (Cheers.)
The friends ol the country have been mUrepre-
sented throughout uus contact, we were told
that we could not coniuer these twelve millions
of people. Well, we did it. We were told we
bad no coLstitutionai rignt or power to ao it.
We exercised the powers of the Consti
tution to save the Constitution and the
country, and we have done it. Now they
tell us we have no constitutional power to pass
the laws lor reconstruction ; but we find the
powers and we nave passed tne laws, and tbe
laws will do the work. The President of the
United States may do what he pleases; the place
that knows him will not know him a great
while. (Laiichter and applause.) Tbe fourth
ol March, 1869, at any rate, will come some
ttire. (A voice: "wnai aooutimpeacnmenir)
He may stay in till that time, and he may not.
(Cneers.) It will depend a great deal on his
future conduct. If he undertakes to violate the
laws ot the country, and arrest the conduct of
tbe Government, he will have but a Hhort time
to stay where he is. (Applause.) But I tell
you, gentlemen, he may do lust what he pleases,
ne cannot prevent anything. ("Good.") Our
friends in the South, who believe In reconstruc
tion, in a united country, ana in ireeaom,
three-fourths of a million of them will bring
those States back in spite of anything Andrew
Johnson or anybody eUe can do.
I loot- upon Mr. Johnson just as I
look upon Bull Kun. (Laughter.) Bull Bun
during the war brought a sense of shame to the
cheek of the country, but after all it was a
great lesson to Ihe country. Andrew Johnson
seems lobe a sortot Deng brought into exist
ence for a purpose. He stands right there, aud
every time he undertakes to do anything against
the cause of liberty and Justice, the country
rallies, and goes runner tnan u ever wouio nave
gone before. (Laughter and applause.) He
got the opinion of the Attorney-General the
other day, and all over the South the Rebels
reared tneir neaas, ana oeeun 10 nope again;
but in a day or two went the news on the breezes
that Congress would as'emble, and tbe Rebels
eloped their lips. Congress assembled and
made an additional and stronger measure
than ever before. He may undertake to set
it alde if be pleases, or do what ne
pleases; our friends in the South will take
rare of the cause of the country. And let me
tell you that Grant is for neero suffrage not
only In the South, but In the North. (Cbeers.l
So is Thomas that great General whom his
soldiers nicknamed "Old Reliable;" so Is Phil.
Sheridan, and nearly every General ot the coun
try who has made a pge of the history of this
war. 1 nna a very iaruc buuio ui mo men wuu
ha nnnoaed us individually say it is right, but
they say they have got a great prejudice vote
behind them, and they must pander to that. I
think it becomes statesmen to speak the truth
to come out in advance of the people and main
tain what is right and tne people win ionow
tbem. There is no portion ot our countrymen so
ignorant or prejudiced who will not do the right
when they see it clearly. Such is the preseut
condition of the country. 1 think it is a hope
ful one, and. it will be better next year than It
is now. The men who emancipated four mil
aliivpg. and have established liberty and
Justice in tbe land, are to have the country
next vear. Whether Grant will be tbe candi
date ol those men or not, and I think ne is very
likely to be. that candidate will be elected.
Thete are to day three millions of those voters
in the country who would vote for Grant, or
Sheridan, or Thomas, for Chase (applause) , or
Colfax (applause), or brave old Ben Wade (ap
plause) or any of the true and tried men whs
have carried the country through the dark and
gloomy days of the last seven years. But no
n an who opposed the cause of the country
durinir that war, no man who opposed emanci
pation, no man who opposes the civil
rights ot the emancipated race, no man
who opposes negro suffrage, will ever be Presi
dent ol these United States aaain. (Applause.
II there are any here to-night who desire to act
with the masses, and move with events, and
i ".i.v. 4 ho ,ih the successful, respectable.
and triumphant, I f"
umpbant, I give them tpis piece oi aavice,
ev foin the negro equal-suffrare party at
rliest possible moment. It has become
,able to do it. too. (Laughter.) I re-
that the,
the earl
SmbS who- first entered the senate; that a
Honn itMiinir the anti-slavery men of
1. I l.ln
the country, and talking about "nigger, nigger,
nier"' Mr" Seward turned to me aid said
"Ihat Senator will never be President of
these United States. He was w wpirant
for the place, and "ryiclew..0;
V&J&Jl Uwft. intend
DiftB President, and the man who spells negro
wlth two g's is not a gentleman, end the people
will never make him President." It is Just so
in our time. Those who sneer at the equal
nghts of men in Christian and Republican Ame
rica, though they may pretend to be fashionable
snd genteel to the masses of the people, are only
vulgar fellows. (Applaune.) Let me say to
you that patriotism, liberty, justice, humanity,
Christianity, everything that is pure and noble,
all good pulsations of the human heart, all that
is beautiful in woman, all that Is lovely in human
character, is to-day in America on tbe side of
the men who are fighting for a united country,
and for the equal richts of all men, of every
clime and race. (Applause.) And it is our
glory and our pleasure to straggle on and fight
out that battle. Ere a few brief months are
passed we shall have a united country, a free
country, a co entry of equal rights, and can
stand before the world illustrating the beauty
of democratic institutions. I trust all of us,
ladles and gentlemen, will contribute bv word
and deed to bring about that result, which will
be so honorable to the country ana so glorious
to human nature. (Loud cheering.)
A SINGULAR SUICIDE.
Vila fitorjr of tbe Japaasis Btudant whs
IIubk Himself at Uobii, Mat.
From the Springfleld Republican, July 24.
Ashiwara, one ot the six Japanese youths who
have been perusing thoir studies at Moason for
several mouths, committed suicide by hanging
on Sunday evening. He was last seen alive
about hall-past 8 o'clock P. M. on that day, not
tar from the place where bis body was found,
and probably committed the act of sell-murder
soon alter. Ills absence from bis boarding
house all Sunday night routed suspicion and
alarm for his safety, and on Monday search was
commenced by a number of tbe citizens, and
about 8 o'clock in the evening, twenty-four hours
after his disappearance, his body was found
suspended from the limb of a tree, in a retired
spot about a mile east of the village, and a little
distance from the highway. Beside him on the
ground lay his hat, coat, and umbrella, and
around his neck was tightly knotted a strip of
cotton cloth which he had taken with htm from
his house, showing that the act was one of mature
and deliberate premeditation. His watch was
found going, and his money safe, and all tbe
contents of his pockets undisturbed. His last
walk on Sunday evening last was taken alone,
an unusual circumstance tor the Japaueae, as
they generally go out in groups of three or four,
or quite often ihe entire six take their strolls
together. Ashiwara also was gone from home
for a long time on Saturday, on a simiUr soli
tary excursion, and doubtless then meditated
tbe act oi suicide. His body was immediately
removed snd the remains prepared in tbe Chris
tian older for burial, his countrvmen assisting
in the sad offices. A funeral service will be
held at Monson In a day or two; but the final
disposition of the remains is not yet determined.
The cause of tbe act was undoubtedly extreme
depression of spirits, resulting principally
from a chronic disease which had for many
months afflicted him, and Irom which there was
little or no hope or relief. The dejection and
melancholy may have weighed upou the unfor
tunate man so heavily as to produce during the
last days of his lite positive Insanity, though
lrom his mild and retiriug disposition it would
not have been of very decided manifestation.
Ashlwari was aboat tnirty years old, and left a
wife at bis borne in Yokohama, whence he came
by way of Sun Francisco, arriving at Monson in
November. He was sent directly to the care of
Rev. Charles Hammond, principal of the Mon
son Acudemy, bv Rev. Mr. Brown, the American
Missionary, while his comrades came from
Nagasaki, by way of London, ultimately to
Monnon. but under different patronage. The
deceased Japanese is spoken or by his instruc
tors and acquaintances at Monson as
a man of true and unusual nobility
of character, and industrious - ana
faithful to his duties. He was sensitive
to the last degree on all points of honor or per
sonal reputation, and during his stay In this
country had won the esteem and Bincere regard
of all whom he had come ia contact During
the first few months of his residence at Monson,
he was often oppressed with homesickness and
earnest longing lor his native land, but had
lately seemed to overcome in a great degree
these feelings, and appeared quite contented.
Rev. Mr. Brown arrived at New York on a re
turn visit to this country only a day or two
since, and has been summoned to Monson by a
telegraphic despatch for consultation as to the
disposal of the body of Ashiwara. This death
among us of the stranger student from the other
side ol tbe globe, thousands of miles away, is a
most sad event, and doubly painful from its pe
culiar and impressive circumstances.
MURDER AT CORNWALL, N. Y.
A Missing 'Woman Found Brutally
3Iordrd-No Clue to the Perpe
trators. A murder of an apparently most atrocious
nature was perpetrated within the past three or
lour davs in the usually quiet little village ot
Cornwall, near Newburg, on the Hudson. A
woman who went by the name of Mary Blake,
who has resided in the village lor aoout seven
or eight months, was mlBsed on Tuesday morn
ing last, and no cause could be assigned for her
disappearance. Diligent inquiry was insti
tuted, out wunoui ouiauuuK luo aimuwsi ciue
to her whereabouts, and a general search was
made yesterday morning. Her inanimate body
was found on the margin of a small stream
about five hundred yarls irom her place
ot residence. The creek runs parallel
to the roadway leading to the steam
boat landing, and her head lay in the water.
Abundant traces of blood were found on the
road, and it is presumed that her murderer or
murderers attacked ber while passing that way.
Alter being assailed she had been dragged off
the road and down the bank in the direction of
the cieek, where her corpse was ultimately dis
covered. A post mortem examination was
made by Drs. Ely, of Newberg, and Eaton, ot
Cornwall, when it was ascertained that a brutal
assault had been perpetrated upon the victim,
the weapi n U6ed being undoubtedly a bludgeon
or some blunt instrument The skull was frac
tured by a blow which had been deliverel
behind the ear, and a fearlul wound
bad also been inflicted on the
face, crushing In the nose and breaking the
bones. Either of the wounds, in the opinions,
of the medical gentlemen present, was sufficient
to have caused death. She was reputed to have
been married to an old man named Murtaragh,
but the has not lived with him for several years
past. She leaves two children, little girls, aged
respectively lour and eight years, aud was her
self about thirty-five years ot age at tbe time ot
her death. No probable motive can be assigned
lor t!?i commission of so wanton and inhuman
an atrocity; but it is hoped that some facts tend
ing to reveal the murderer may beeliclted at the
investigation which will be held before Justice
Brewster. The unfortunate woman was In an
advanced state of pregnancy, which tends to
give tbe murder a still more foul and diabolical
aspect. JV. Y. Uergld,
Archjkolooy. A Russian archaeologist, M.
Filiinonoff, who was recently in Paris on a
visit to the Exhibition, has started the idea of
establishing an international archaeological
society. The project has been favorably re
ceived by several other archaeologists, and M.
Mandergreen, of Stockholm, has assisted M.
Filiinonoff in drawing np a set of regulations
for the new society, which have been already
submitted to the French Government. It Is
proposed to admit archaeologists of all nations
to the society, and to hold congresses lathe

the guests of the Creiehton Club ot that city. A

follows Creifrbton, 38; Independent, 34.
A pretty well-substantiated rumor prevailed
in Portsmouth to-day, that one of a numerous
band of negro hbzhwavmen, who have been re
cently operating in Princess Anne county, had
been "shot on one ot the main roads leading to
the city, and killed.
Tbe circumstances are that a colored farmer,
while on bis way borne from attending market
in this city, was assaulted by one of the h'eo
waymen, who demanded his pocket-book. The
marketman very coolly put his haDd in his
fiocket as It tohaudoverthe article desired, but in
ta place drew a Colt's revolver, aud gave his
assailant the contents, killina him Instantly.
The Newbern Journal of Commeroe, in a recent
issue, says: ' We sre strain called upon to
record another atrocious murder committed on
the person of Reuben Bra' c ber, at Batchelor's
Creek, in this county, and almost wUhln tbe
sight of the steeples of this city. The murder
was committed while Mr. Bratcher was in tbe
woods shipping turpentine boxes. It is sup
poFed to be the work of some of a desperate
band prowling around the country. A short
time after the occurrence Deputies Williams aud
Ship and Mr. D. S. Kyan started out on the
track of the railroad leading out of the northern
portion of the city In search of the parties who
committed tbe murder and robbery.
"About a mile from the city they met two sus
picious looking negroes, and arrested them on
suspicion. Two of the deputies left one of the
prisoners in the charge of Mr. Williams, and
proceeded with the other prisoner. Tbey had
not proceeded far when they heard a pistol shot,
and turning back, they round Mr. Williams
lying on the ground covered with his blood.
On learning these facts Major Van Horn sent in
a squad of troops to protect the latl; the authori
ties deeming that an attempt would be made to
secure some ol tbe members of the ban! incar
cerated there."
The American steamship Worcester was ex

Shooting Affray at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, July 26. What bids fair to be a
terrible tragedy occurred hero last evening.
Two of Newcomb's Band, which has been per
forming at Wood's Theatre for the last fort
night, have been quarrelling for some time, and
the feud resulted in a probably fatal shooting
affair. The parties are Norman and Banford,
two of the leading minstrels in Newcomb's
Band. They came over from England together
a few months since, and were fast friends, until
a few days ago, when they quarrelled. Norman
accusing Banford of disgraceful conduct.
Last evening, about 6 o'clock, Banford entered
a billiard saloon on Vine street, and golne np to
Norman, drew a pistol, and, aiming at his
breast, said, "You must retract before I count
three, or I shall shoot you one, two, three!"
Norman refused to retract and Banford Bred,
the ball passing through his enemy's left breast.
Just below the heart, inflicting a wound that
will probably prove fatal before moralng. Ban
ford was arrested at once, and the wounded man
was taken to the City Hospital.

IHE FULTON MILLS DISASTER.
Investigation by tbe Coroner's Inquest
Into the Cans of the Kxploslvn.
The fury met last evening pursuant to adjourn
ment, ano the following vernlct Is the result ot
their deliberations. As will be seen Irom the
conflicting nature of tbe testimony, they were
unable to aree upon a unanimous verdict.
Lancaster Vounty, ...
The inquest summoned by George Leonard,
Esq., Coroner ot said county, to inquire into
tbe cause or the death ot David Hautch and
others, killed by tho exsloston or a steam boiler
at tbe Fulton Cotton Mill, on the thirteenth day
or July last pabt, or who died In consequenee of
Injuries received bv the explos'on; In addition
to the Inqulclilons by tbem found tneachcae,
tbe jurors do find and present tho following, that
ia to say : Toat according to tbe evidence be
fore them, the boiler which exploded was well
constructed of good material: tiat there was
kullictent water in both boilers but a few
minutt s before the explosion occurred; that no
blame can be attached to tbe proorletors of the
mill or any of tbe employes. Tbat the explo
sion was occasioned by causes to the jurors un
known. In testimony whereof, the said Coroner and
the jurors have hereunto set tbeir bands aod
seals this twenty-fourth day of July, A. D. ouo
thousand eight hundred ana sixty-seven.
Gboros Lbonsbo, Coroner;
John Copland,
8. H. Price.
Rob be r U Eichholtz,
Thoms Thcrlow,
John Diininger.
The undersigned, one oi the Coroner's jurors,
concurs in the above finding, except the por
tion thereof constituting the last sentence ot the
first paragraph. Instead thereof he would sub
stitute the following, viz : Toat the immediate
cause or causes of the exploilon are to the
jurors unknown; but tbey And that the boilers
of said mill were frequently subjected to an
amount of pressure calculated to impair their
durability and hasten their deterioration; and
tbat this was a cause contributing to the explo
sion in a remote degree.
Witness my hand aud seal the day and year
above written. Reuben H. Loa.
So clones this extended and interesting,
though somewhat tedious inquiry. Aside from
the valuable facts in connection with the opera
tions ol steam elicited during its course, which
will repay any one Interested in the matter for
the perusal ot the tistiuiony. many other
points have been brought out which are wortoy
of attention. Among these, one of tbe most
prominent is tbe evidence ot thinking power
displayed by the numerous practical mechanics
examined, many of whom were uneducated and
uncoutb in lunguaze, aud somreven difficult to
understand from want of the words to express
them elves; yet each had his theory, and an
array of tacts which made it seem very plausi
ble. Tbe averaee character of the testimony
was much higher than anything in our previous
experience, ani is staudlng evidence ot the
influence of the mechanic arts in developing the
reasoning faculties.
Another thing forcibly demonstrated was the
necessity of selection in cases lite the pre
sent, ot an entire jury of men familiar with the
nature of the subject to be Investigated; o win
to the want of such a selection here, masses of
testimony utterly irrelevant (sometimes ridicu
lously so) was demanded from the witnesses
by those members of tbe lury who, from want
of practical knowledge of the subject, could
neither properly understand the witness nor
make tbe witness understand them; thus the
Investigation was drawn out to a ted'ous
length, which might otherwise have been
avoided.
Nothing can be urged against the fairness
and searching thoroughness ot tbe inquiry.
Every one who either knew any of the facts,
or had from knowledge of the subject and
examination of tbe wreck formed a theory of
the cause of the calamity, was summoned and
heard; scientific authority was also brought
in; tbe whole case, tn fact, came before the
jury, and they had every means of rinding a
complete and satisfactory verdict.
The testimony was very contradictory, espe
cially in regard to the previous feelings and ex-
ftressions of Mr. Hantch, the deceased eneioeer;
t the statement of the fears he should have ex
pressed is accepted as fact, and also the fact of
his never stating his convictions of danger to
the manaeer or other owners of the mill, his
record would be most unenviable; but it seems
inconsistent with the known character of the
man that such should be tbe case. The whole
matter, however, seems to be involved in con
tradiction and mystery, and as we have fur
nished the Ml case to our readers, they have all
the lis-ht tbat can be given from which to form
their judgment. Lancaster Express, 2&th.

The London Morning Htrald of the 13th or

tbat 1,600,900 were offered on the security of
consols yesterday at H percent., but tbe parties
to whom tbe proposal was made were so full
that they refused to take it."
The Boston Traveller says:
"Notwithstanding the large amount Of spare
funds lying (allow, in proHttas idleness (corded
up in huge itacVs of naper bundles, and
patiently waiting for something t j do), it hi.
nevertheless, almost imoosslule for any one to
obtain needful accommodation on discounts. ,
riher for short or long pert-da of time, without
offering the name of promisors whose credit ts
undoubted, or collateral pledges that areostl
maed as be r.g beyond a persd venture in point
of sa'ety. Capitalists and Institutions prefer.and
oerbaps wisely, to cry over their unproductive
balances rather tbaa cry after them, whon
crlorts tor their recall, sbould it so haopen, may
prove to be fruitless. There are numerous bor
rowers, or rather sanguine temperament, who
would eagerly take all the money they conld
get from lender deposed to ntand the risk of
recipients' nsk.but such are not accommodated;
while those who are perfectly responsible are ,
futnlhhed with all tbey require, on discounts at
six and loans at five per cent."
