THE MISSING STEAMSHIPS. from the If. Y. Tim. It ia now thirty-fivo clnyB sinoo the City' of Boston Bailed from Liverpool, and forty since the Schmidt nailed from Uretnen. The anxiety of theme who have friend on board thcRO ships in fnst Rinking into despair, and, while we would gladly coudhgI them to hope as long as hope is rciiHonable, the figures of the underwriters imply what it is idle to affect to conceal. lioth ships may be safe, but it is not very likely that either is still afloat. The melancholy probability is that their names will be added to that list of calamities to great steamers which, consid ering the chances of the seas and the num bers of such vessels, has been so wonderfully short. There is, however, room to trust that their passengers may still live, since total disappearance with the loss of all en board Las been among the rarest of disasters re corded of ocean steamships. The President, which left New York March 11. 1841. having among her passongers Ty- rone Power, the comedian, a son of the Duke of llichmond, and other noted persons, is in this dismal catalogue, and so is the Gity of Glasgow, lost in 1854, and the Paoiflo in 185G; but we recollect no other vessels of similar character that have so vanished and "left not a rack behind." Consequently the chances would seem to be that, as in the cases of the troopship Birkenhead, and the packets St. George, Central America, Sarah Sands, Aus tria, Anglo-Saxon, and London, a greater or less number of the passengers of the two missing craft may have been saved. Such, it will be remembered, was also the fact as re gards the Lady Elgin, sunk by collision on Lake Michigan, September 8, 18G0. Of her 385 passengers, 287 perished, among whom were Mr. Herbert Ingram, M. P., the founder of the Illustrated London News, and his son. Of the passengers and crew of the Hungarian, on the other hand, which was wrocked on the coast of Nova Sootia, February 19 of the same year, all on board were lost. The Birkenhead, wrecked off Simon's Bay, South Africa, February 2G, 1852, lost 454 and saved 184. The St. George, whioh was bound from Liverpool to New York, and was destroyed by fire at sea, De cember 24, 1852, lost 51, while 70 were resoued and taken to Havre by the American ship Orlando. The Central America, which foundered on her way from Havana to New York, September 12, 1857, carried 579 persons, of whom only 152 were saved. Of the 538 on board the Austria burned in the middle of the Atlantic, September 13, 1858 but C7 survived. The Sarah Sands, which sailed from Portsmouth for Caloutta in August, 1857, took fire in November, and afterwards experienced a tremendous gale, carried all on board safely into port. The Anglo-Saxon, wrecked on a reef off Cape Race during a dense fog, April 27, 18G3, lost 237 out of 44(5 individuals. The London, which foundered in the Bay of Bisoay January 11, 1806, on the passage from England to Melbourne, lost 220 lives, among . whom were Dr. Woolley, Principal of the University of Sydney, and Mr. G. Y. Brooke, the tragedian. Two instances have befallen during the past few years, when the romantio incident, so muoh used by novelists and dramatists, of a single life being saved from among all on board a lost ship, has really been exemplified. These were in the cases of the Dalhousie, wrecked off Beachy Head, October 19, 1353, and the Donbar, wrecked off Sydney, August 20, 1857. In the latter instance the survivor was thrown by a gigantic wave into a tiny aper ture high up in the face of a precipice the chance of such a thing ocourring being about the same as that of throwing a pea into a nail-hole in the side of a wall where he lay insensible for many hours, but was finally discovered and saved by a daring fellow, who caused himself to be let down from the top of the acclivity by ropes. The facts we have named, and others that might be cited, indicate a strong preponder: anoe in favor of the supposition that even should the City of Boston and the Schmidt have been overtaken by calamity, many and perhaps all of their passengers and crews may nave been saved. Ve do not, however, like to abandon the hope that a joyful telegram taay yet flash over the Atlantio cable, an nouncing that these fine ships themselves, as well as those who entrusted their lives to them, are still above blue water. THE GOLD KING. From the If. T. World. Since the days of Walpole, when members of Parliament shut their eyes to evidence in cases of contested elections,' and blindly "divided" into Whig and Tory sides, even until now, a Parliamentary or Congressional "minority report" has come to mean a mere piece of special pleading in behalf of the party principles of the opposition. The absence of such a spirit in the report of the minority of the committee appointed to in vestigate the causes and propound the remedy of such financial panics as that which dis graced Wall street in September is a signal and honorable exception. For the candor and cogency which distinguish this paper the country is doubtless indebted to the acumen and accomplishments of the Representative from the Sixth district of New York, Mr. Cox. ' There is no doubt that, of all the parties to the infamous transaction, Corbin appears the most contemptible, if not the most culpable. His lack of somples when money was to be made is beautilully balanced by his want of piety when rermUition was to be retrieved. Beside him, all the other parties to the trans action rise to a kind of moral sublimity. The pleasing frankness of Mr. risk and the pru dent patriotism of Mr. Gould are noble, and even what looks so like th venality of Mr. Butterfield is venial, besvlo the double treachery and the whining sanctimony of the President's brother-in-law. It is as certainly not the fault t it is cer tainly the misfortune of the President to have a kinsman of the Character of Mr. CoAia, A man is no more responsible for his brother-in-law than he is for his mother-in-law; and the i victim .of an , irritable and cohesiv mother-in-law is always anobjeot of profound pity. There is no doubt in any mind capable of being convinced by evidence that Corbin traded oa his relationship to the President, We nave shown over aud over that, his alli ance was of no, conceivable .benefit to, the rincr for an v other trarDose than; the one PUT- pobft esenlial ,to theii deaira oL .knowing courately if, Rot, ?t influencing corruptly,' I tacanses ther than the non-exiHtenoa of capi the Exeoutlve mind. The,, teatltoofly taken, fed punishment. ' it. - ! i 1 1. -,. 11,;,. A1a..a ttlrtTl 1 L' 1 L . ! ! 1 1 1 I br the committee makes this clearer than ever. The only question remaining was, what authority bad Corbin for the represent ations whioh it is undeniable that he made. This question we looked to the committee to clear up. And this question remains as cloudy as ever. The mischievous results of the abnormal I receptive faculty developed In the career of I General Grant are, however, mado more strikingly manifest than before. A man of sense might have known that men in general were not pTone to make presents to a publio functionary out of pure admiration without expecting some direct or indirect return. A man of delicacy would have disdained putting himself under personal obligations whioh he might have a chance of officially discharging. But General Grant was as willing to reoeive as the daughter of the horse-loech, and the gold ring deemed it blessed to give. Those who had cast their bread upon the Presiden tial waters, now after many days looked that it should rotura to them. Mr. Fisk gave Mr. Grant a free ride and a free supper, and ro liod upon a little private information in return. Mr. Gatherwood had been active in obtaining subscriptions for a house, and was trusted to get the same information in return. It is not monstrous that a President of the United States should suffer himself to be bought and sold in this way ? The only ex cuse for him thct can be made is that, though he suffered himself to be bought and sold, he did not Buffer himself to be delivered. This, if it were made out, would rather worsen than better his predicament. And this is not made out. After the gravest suspicions had been fast ened upon him, suspicions whioh nobody, friend or foe, was willing to credit, but which it needed his own explioit statement to rebnt, be declined to make that statement, The committee courteously gave him to un derstand how deeply his reputation was in volved in the sworn evidence before them, He declined to vindicate his reputation. His partisans will tell ns that it was "beneath his dignity" to appear before a commitee of Congress. But it was not beneath bis dignity to write vacuo denotations for publication in Mr. Bonner's Ledger. His acquiescence under accusations so crave, and all the graver for not being formally made, but irresistibly de duced from a series of circumstances esta blished by a oloud of witnesses, is as painful as it is astonishing. Under the most chari table construction, such carelessness about a matter which so nearly concerned his fidelity as a publio servant and his rectitude as a human being shows that he is not possessed of that "sensibility of principle" and of that "chastity of honor" whioh "feels a stain like a wound. "Gentlemen of the jury," said a wise old English judge, "I charge you, as matter of common law, of common justice, and of common sense, that everything is to be taken against that party which can show and which utu, not show. ANTEDATING. From the N. Y. World. We have always had a sincere respect for chronology and dates, it is a comfort to know that George Washington was, beyond peradventure, born on the 22d of February (N. a.), 1732, ana independence declared on the 4th of July, 1770 though there ia some confusion about the signatures, and so on, with all the accredited dates of our story, down to Mr. Lincoln's Good Friday. To have one's time-table disturbed is always annoying. Then, too, the law steps in and insists on the sanctity of dates. If a man, in order to pro mote his own interests and mislead others, executes a promissory note, or a bond, or an indenture, and puts a false date to it, he is amenable to penalties and his deed is good for nothing. These simple truths seem, however, likely to be overset, and this, too, under the auspices and by the direct agency of no less a person than the "sainted" Presi dent Lincoln. In the "Chronicles of the Great Rebellion" we read, and it is no doubt so reoorded in the archives of the War Department: '1802 January 19. Simon Cameron resigned bli position as Secretary or War. Kdwln M. Stanton, or Pennsylvania, appointed in his place." The simple-minded reader reoeives this as verity; and yet it now turns out that there is not one word of truth in it, either as to time or facts (and for this we are indebted to the Tiibune); that Cameron did not resign, but was turned out; and that all this occurred long before the date to which it is credited. The actual story, as given by the Tribune, runs thus: , "Colonel Alexander K. McClure, or Pennsylvania, In a letter over bis own signature, says that Cameron was removed from the War Department by Mr. Lincoln without previous notice. The letter announcing- It. and that Btanton bad been appointed, was delivered by Secretary Chase. Colonel MoClur savs he saw this letter soon after It was delivered. and remembers the Indignation with which It was received by ur. Cameron." Then follows a statement, precisely and categorically made, to whioh we beg the at tention of all the loyal historical sooieties of the country, and oompilers of chronological tables and dictionaries of dates: 'Mr. Lincoln's letter of dismissal was withdrawn, and the substitution of a correspondence, antedating the removal, was suggested to Mr. Cameron In my presence, and Mr. Lincoln's generous disposition was discussed and confidently relied upon to make him consent to such a correspondence, lie was ap pealed to on the subject, and agreed to lk Letters were then prepared giving the dismissal of Mr. Cameron the appearance of a voluntary and cordial retirement irons toe cabinet." Really, this is very refreshing; and the per feet equanimity with which Mr. McClure, an accredited Pennsylvania politician, records the fact that the conspirators to falsify his torical truth "discussed" the question whether Mr. Lincoln's "generous disposition" could be relied on to such an extent is marvellous Fancy General Washington whose function, according to some pictures or engravings, has lately been to welcome his martyred sucoessor to the realms of bliss being asked, after he turned Edmund Randolph out of the State Department, as he did, to antedate a letter and substitute a eeatle. friendly resignation Imagine Cameron's friend, Andrew Jackson, when in benaix of Mr. ion ne maae a uaui net hecatomb, agreeing to "antedate" and alve over. And yet this Mr. Lincoln did without a scruple, and Colonel Alexander McClure, who worships at his shrine, sees no harm in it, and the J nouns utters no dissent: . , j HANGING FOB MURDER, From the A'. T. Sun. It seems to us that in determining the ques tion of the abolition of capital punisnment for the crime of murder, society ought mostly to be influenced by this one consideration1 Without the death penalty, will there or will there not be an increase in tne number 01 murders committed? ,, This question cannot well be answered satisfactorily. Capital punishment has no her been abolished for any great length of time; and even if j diminution of the number of murders has been reoorded ia those coun. tries where the punishment of crime by death has been the longest prohibited by law, we cannot be sure that the deorease is not owing oovorai recent uriiues m wis country uear evidence that there is among us a large class of ruffians who can be deterred from the most atrocious and horrible murder only by the certainty and swiftness of retributive death. The case of Reynolds, who was sentenced in the Oyer and Terminer last week, is in point. Had he not bolieved, to quote bis vulgar expression, that hanging for mur der was "Dlaved out" in New York, and had he felt certain of the doom which should await his orime, the hand that drove the knife to the heart of the unoffending man who was his victim would never have been raised to take that life. For such a man as Reynolds, and for many of those who, with faces still more villanous in . their expression than was that of the murderer himself, attended his trial, a sentence to prison for life has compa ratively no terror. There a possibility of escape always exists. But they do not find it so pleasant to think of themselves swinging from the gallows. An important clement in capital punisn ment as a preventive of the crime is the swiftness with which it follows upon convio tion and sentence. In Massachusetts, until recently, a murderer under sentence of death was required by law to be imprisoned for the space of one year before exeoution. Last year two young men named James, who were cousins, murdered and robbed a gambler at Worcester, in his rooms near the prlnoipal hotel in that city, where the college students throng every summer at the time of the Uni versity boat race between Harvard and Yale. They both were convicted; and when sen tenced, soon afterward, to be hanged within a short time, they expressed great surprise at learning that the law to which we have re ferred had lately been repealed. No doubt was entertained that they hoped to break prison and escape during the one year's im prisonment which they thought the law pre scribed. This murder at Worcester was committed entirely for the sake of the money taken from the murdered man; and it is a remarka ble circumstance that these two marderers, while at Providence, R. I., just before going to Worcester, followed home a man whom they knew to have . with him a large Bum of j :iu iv-rLt lz money, late one evening, .witu w luumuun, it is supposed, of killing and robbing him. A tall, burly watchman, armed with pistol and olub, who knew them, accosted them, and walked along with them until the man who bad the money was safely in nis House, And in Rhode Island, where this occurred, and where there is every reason to believe that these fellows intended to commit the murder if they could find an opportunity to kill a man who had a large amount of money upon his person, the death penalty is abo- untied. At all events, so long as capital punishment is known to the laws of the State of New York, let those who are convicted of murder be exeouted within a reasonable time after sentence, and not allowed to remain unhung so long that other villains may be induoed to take human life, under the impression that "hanging for murder is played out in New York." THE "HERALD" AND THE SERVANT I GIRLS, From the If. V. World. The Herald has just been guilty of a pieoe of base ingratitude. Notoriously that sheet was put upon its lees, and is now, in some. what rickety manner it is true, kept there, by the advertisements and subscriptions of the class "servant girL" Many of these deluded creatures continue to advertise in the Herald, since their benighted ignorance does not give them to understand that the day of the Herald's destiny is over and the star of its fate hath declined, its contents are carefully written down to what the au thors of them consider the "servant-gal" leeeL on the principle upon which one some times hears a stupid person talking broken English to a foreigner, that the worse Eng lish their notions are couched in the better people who do not understand good English will understand them, let tne iieraia on Tuesday turned and bit the loving hand that fed it, with the statement that the servant girls who serve by standing and waiting at intelligence offices "are women hardened in crime," "girls lost to shame," and 'paramours and assistants of thieves and burglars." "Prostitutes tired of the mono tonous worn of tne street, aooording to this luminary, resort to service through intelli gence offices. Twaddle. J. he fact is that, as has been amply demonstrated in connection with the subject of official regulation of prostitution, the first need and care of an inveterate prostitute is absence of restraint And the rigid restraint of domestio service is abhorrent beyond all else to a woman of such a character. "The police state that their "efforts to ferret out and detect crime are de feated by the paramours and assistants of burglars and thieves who are employed in private houses." The fact is that such "efforts are lolled by tne incompetency or indolence of the police themselves, and that an astute detective would require no better clue to a crime than the presence in the soene of its commission of an accomplice in it. Of course, there may be isolated instanoes of this kind. But to say that servant girls in general, or to any cousiderable extent, are of this characters to promulgate a self-refuting absurdity, and to perpetrate a shameful slan der upon a class whose reputation is their main reliance for support. All this prepos terous proposition the Ilerald erects npon the credible and not at all wonaertui state ment that a servant in Brooklyn has stolen "several hundred dollars' werth of property" from ber employer, and the further and alto gether incredible "statement by the police" that she has stolen $10,000 within the past fcii months. But, though the statements of the Herald are thus absurd, it is easy to see its motive for making them. "Intelligence offices," we are informed in the chaste English of the Ilerald, "are 'run' by parties who are in' with thieves," and obviously intelligence offices are rivals of the Ilerald for the patronage of servant girls. Accordingly, it was "through the agency of intelligence offices that this singular servant girl in Brooklyn "obtained places," and that all vile persons obtain Traces. On the contrary, the inference ia, servant girls who are pure and just and lovely and of good report rely npon the Herald. We cannot obiect to the Herald's making frantic efforts to retain the precarious nntrnnnce nf thn class which keerjs it alive. But we do obiect to its carrying those efforts so far as to slander such numbers of that class as have enough intelligence to avoid ad vertising in it. . NEGROES AS LEGISLATORS, Ft em the S. Y. Tribune. ' 'Onr Afrioan Senator" is the title of a half column editorial in the St. Louis Republican (Democratic), in which it is asserted that the election of Mr. Revels to the United States Senate "marks an era in the history of the wrld;" that "is the first authenticated in stance of a nation boasting a Caucasian lit eage deliberately and freely choosing n Afrioan as a law-maker, and clothing him with a rank and dignity among the very high est in its power to bestow." "That the annals of every age, from the era of the Pyramids to our own, may be searched in vain for even the remotest parallel to this step which we have just takon in the noienoe of government with the utmost indiffereuoe and . nonchalance, and tnuou more to the same effect. , . We were qnite prepared to believe that the prejudices of the late lords of caste would not readily give way to that great advance in ru.i...- Tii:: ... i .11 vui imittu viviiuniiuu wuiuu pinuun iui mou upon an equality before the Iaw, whioh makes the Declaration of American i n Jependenoe a living fact; but we cn Bee no sufficient rea son why j this unworthy prejudice should be yoked with such profound ignorance or well known facts in history as is displayed in the article from which we quote. The writer ought to know, if he does not, that there were soveral negro members in the National Assembly of France, no longer ago than the time of the last rcpublio. Does he not know that in .brazil, the great empire or South America, there is no caste based upon color or race that the jet black Senator sits by the side of the white one on terms of perfect equality in the highest braoh of the National Legislature ? Is he not aware that in most of the Spanish American republics and west India Islands the negro enjoys citizenship upon the same terms and conditions as the descendant of Spain T Is he ignorant of the fact that negroes held seats in the Massa chusetts Legislature before the St. Louis Jifpubucan had an existence r lias he never heard that in all the States of Europe the standing or position of a man is in no wise affected by the color of his skin ? Ihe writer seems surpnsed that a duly elected Senator should take his seat, and that the people should look on with indifference and nonchalance. Perhaps he may yet dis cover that the people are not all purblind politicians; that they see and aooept accom plished facts, and have no positive fear that one mulatto or quadroon will be more than a match for seventy-three Caucasian Senators. WOMEN JURORS IN WYOMING. From the if, Y. Herald. The Legislature of Wyoming Territory lately passed a bill giving to women the right of sun rage. As this concession is Held to carry with it the right to hold offioe, it appears that tne Territorial authorities have construed it as embraoing the duty of women to serve as jurors, and that accordingly for the March term of the Albany (Wyoming) County Court the names of eleven ladies some of them the wives of the most prominent citizens are among those drawn for jury service, and that immense exoitement was created thereby. But this is bringing the question of woman s politi cal rights to a practical test, and how she can expect to claim the right to the ballot-box without being ready to submit to the duty of the jury-box, the same as Sambo, we oannot tell. But suppose this question settled, and that women are bound when called npon to take their chances with the men for jury service, will not hanging for murder and the State Prison for some other crimes be indeed "played out ?" And what then ? The subject is full of serious doubts and difficulties whioh the gallant men of Wyoming, with all their praotical experiments, we fear, will not be able to remove. Hull, as those gallant men on behalf of women's rights seem to think they are engaged in a good cause, let them go on, and let the ladies seo that if they are frightened off by jury duty their cause is lost. j SPECIAL NOTICES. t-B- PHILADELPHIA AND READING KAIL- BO AD CO., Offioe, No. 827 B.
