GOV. HARTRANFT VINDICATED
It is interesting to watch how the ene
mies of General Ilartranft are forced to
acknowledge that there are some good
traits in the character of the maa whom
they se bitterly denounced last fall. With
venom and malice unprecedented in the
history of Pennsylvania politics they un
scrupulously charged him with theft, dis
honesty and malfeasance as a State officer.
In fact the campaign, in this State, attract
ed the attention of the whole country, not
so much on account of the National influ
ence which its result would have, as on
account of the partisan bitterness which
was displayed by the Democracy. Not
only were the charges hurled forth from
the press of our own State, but the thun
ders of the New York World and New
York Tribune were called into requisition
to
" Fright the souls of fearful adversaries."
The pencil of the artist of Leslie's Illus
trated. newspaper was prostituted to the
issuing of a campaign number of that
journal; and thousands of copies of this
number were freely distributed in Penn
sylvania on the day of the October elec
tion. The campaign might well be styled
the "campaign of vituperation."
In view of these attempts to lie, slander
and malign a man out of dace, we read
with pleasure the following extract from
the National organ of the National Demo-
critic party :
'General Elartranft is winning golden praise
from the papers of both parties for his stern
and fearless vetoing of improper legislation.
particularly that of the 'special' order."
The Philadelphia Press, which claimed
to be Republican at heart, and professed
to oppose the State ticket on account of
the sinfulness of the candidates on it, is
also candid enough to admit that "the
Governor is entitled to great credit for the
course which he has pursued." These
same papers, and all others who were en
gaged in the business of detraction last
fall, would be "entitled to greet credit" if
they would acknowledge that they do not
now, and never did, believe the stories
they published, but that they were carried
away by the political demands and excite
ment of the hour to say more than they,
in their calmer moments, can conscien
tiously confirm or repeat.
General Hartranft, during the seven
years in which be was Auditor General,
had a practical acquaintance with the
workings of the finances of this State, and
the demands, necessities, rights, limits and
aggressions of corporations which could
be had nowhere else. The instruction and
enlightenment so gained has already inured
to the benefit of the Commonwealth, and
will prove of infinite advantage to us du
ring his term as Governor. He has ex
hibited his practical wisdom in the nu
merous vetoes which he has sent to the
Legislature, and the unerring accuracy
with which he detects a "snake" hidden
in the voluminous folds of a bill, is only
equalled by the fearlessness and prompt
ness with which he either plucks out the
"snake" or kills the whole bill.
Indeed if the veto power is exercised
by him as wisely and unsparingly in fu
ture, as in the past, the greater part or the
labor devolving on the Constitutional Con
vention will be accomplished without any
effort on its part. Special legislation,
checked neither by the Legislature nor by
the Governor, had become the crying evil
of the times, and the real cause of calling
this Convention was the under-current of
popular sentiment against this indiscrim
inate and wholesale abuse of Legislative
Power. The Governor, by pursuing his
present course, is sounding terror in the
ears of all the "jobbers," "roosters," and
"lobbyists" at Harrisburg, and when they
find that their efforts, to accomplish their
jobs, prove fruitless, their occupation will
be gone. They will, by next winter, to a
great extent, abandon their designs, and
their absence from the legislative halls
will work as great a purification as the
Convention at Philadelphia can accomplish.
Dm_ Dr. Dnnwiddie is informed that he
was never charged, by the Jot:Tamar, with
having violated instructions. On the other
hand the good Republicans of Warriors
mark township thought the Doctor was
strictly politically honest, and that he
would carry out their wishes ; and the
Doctor, we have no doubt, assured them
that instructions were unnecessary. If he
had told his neighbors that be had gone
over to Tyrone to meet Mr. Woods, and
that he was there initiated into the League,
as is universally believed, the Doctor
would not have figured in the last Conven
tion or on the County Committee. The
treachery consisted in making the people
believe that he was anti-League when he
is one of the Ring-leaders. What can he
thought of the man who will enter into a
League to cheat his neighbors, politically
or otherwise ?
mg_ Those who responded so promptly
to our request for material aid will please
accept our heartfelt thanks, and the many
kind words of encouragement which they
have been pleased to bestow upon us give
us heart and hope for the future. It is
both pleasant and profitable to know that
our efforts, in behalf of the true Republi
cans of Huntingdon county, are fully ap
predated.
gm, Hon. M. S. Quay, Secretary of the
Commonwealth, has appointed John B.
Lynn, Esq., of Bellefonte, his private sec
retary, eke A. C. Beinoehl. We are not
acquainted with Mr. Lynn, but those who
are, say it is an excellent appointment.
Pr - We publish to-day the statement
of the Captain , of the ill-fated steamer
"Atlantic" which ran on the rocks at Mars
Head, Nova Scotia. The Company and
the officers appear to be alike censurable.
The total loss of life will be about 740.
le— Senator Crawford will accept our
thanks for copies of Hon. A. K. McClure's
speech on electoral reform.
VOTING BY TELEGRAPH
Among the reforms and improvements
proposed to be introduced into the work
ing machinery of the Fortythird Congress,
is that of the system of instantaneous vote
by telegraph. in place of the tedious pro
em of calling the names. By the present
system, with all possible dispatch, at least
.twenty minutes are consumed in taking
the vote of the House and if members
are so disposed they can protract the pro
ceedings so as to extend the time to nearly
an hour before the result is announced.—
The system of simultaneous voting is ap
proved by some members, and for this
reason mainly: subjects are frequently
brought before the House, upon the mer
its of which these members have not fully
informed themselves. When the vote is
called they cannot rely upon their uwn in
formation, but prefer to vote with those in
whom they can trust and follow. Just
before, or while the vote is being taken,
they may be seen, to the great annoyance
of other members and detriment to the
business on hand, moving around actively
among the members and inquiring of each
how he is going to vote, simply that they
may find out how to vote themselves. Now
there is no necessity for this. On all im-
EDITOR
portant, and in fact upon nearly every
minor question, days, and often weeks in
tervene between the announcement of a
measure and the final vote upon it. Each
member has therefore ample time to in
form himself upon its merits, and if neces
sary, he may ascertain also how his leader
proposes vote, and thus be prepared to
respond to the instantaneous vote.
But while this is given as the ostensible
cause of objection to the quick vote by
which the name of each voter is recorded,
there is another and a more patent one.
At least it is so considered, although not
.so acknowledged, by Congressmen. It is
this : A vote is often taken on which
certain members do not wish to have their
names recorded, or even called. In these
cases the division is by yea or nay, all to
gether, or by rising, or by dividing to each
side of the House. In either case there
is no record made of the names, but sim
ply of numbers. Members do not always
wish to let their constituents know how
they voted on certain measures. It was
so in the House in the case of the last vote
on the inerease of members' salaries.
But the telegraph system will invariably
record the names. Hence the opposition
to it within, and the popular sentiment in
favor of it outside, of Con tress. There
can be no valid objection on the ground of
impracticability as far as the mode of opera
tion is concerned. It has already been
tested in the New York Legislature and
elsewhere, and found to work with preci
sion, dispatch and uniform correctness.
Among a number of schemes suggested,
some of which have been patented, the
following system is probably, for simplicity
and completeness, the most acceptable
Upon the wall above the presiding offi
oer's chair, in the Senate or House, two
frames, somewhat similar to picture-frames,
are inserted. Over one of these, in pro
minent letters, is the word YEAS; over the
other NOES. Inside of the frame are a
number of tablets, corresponding to or ex
ceeding the number of members, half an
inch by an inch and a half in size. They
are white or corresponding with the color
of the wall, and when is their places do
not differ from the wall enough to be noti
ced. One of these tablets, in each frame,
is connected by a wire, behind the wall
and under the floor, with each member's
desk. Upon the side of each desk there
is a small knob, made to move iu a narrow
groove two inches in length. By pressing
the knob to one end of the groove a tablet
in the frames, under the word "YEAS," on
the wall, will drop down by a hinge, and
show a black surface. By pressing the
knob to the other end of the groove the
tablet will return to its place, and one in
the frame under the word "NOES" will fall
and show a black surface.
But this is not all : Attached to the
reading clerk's desk is a neat, narrow ex
tension, perforated with rows of small holes.
Over this, corresponding in size and in the
number and position of the holes, is a
board, half an inch thick and attached by
hinges at one end to the table. Sheets of
paper of the same size are prepared, on
whieh the names of members are printed
in duplicate, one column of names being
headed •'yeas," the other "nays." Before
a vote is taken one of these sheets is laid
over the holes upon the desk, adjusted to
its place by certain simple marks, when
tie binder, moving upon a hinge, is let
down upon it and fastened by a button.—
The paper is now ready to receive the
vote. The same movement of the knob
on the member's desk shows his vote upon
the wall, drives up a punch which perfo
rates the paper exactly opposite his name.
When debate has closed and all are rea
dy, the presiding officer asks : "Are you
ready for the vote?" He waits a few sec
onds: there is no response, which is ac
cepted as an affirmative expression ; the
gavel falls, and the vote is given by mem
bers with the speed cf electricity. The
tablets on the wall show, and, if so disposed,
each member, in a few seconds, can count
up the black tablets exposed under the
."yeas" and •noes," while the reading
clerk raises the hinged cover and receives
the sheet of paper with a hole punched
through it opposite the name of each
member who voted "yea" on one column
of names and of those who voted "noe" on
the other column. This, if required, may
be read aloud ; if not it is passed to the
reading clerk and goes into the Congres
sional reports, which are published for the
use of members, and the newspaper press,
and published ever the country for public
inspection.
After the experience of the closing days
of the Forty-seeond Congress, in which
many votes were taken on very important
matters, without calling the ayes and noes,
a very general feeling has been manifested
by prominent Senators and members of
the House, and also in the Executive and
other official circles, to secure, in future, a
final vote by "yeas" and 'noes," with the
names recorded, on all questions of public
interest. This feeling is largely reciproea
ted through the• country, and will increase
until Congress, in conformity with the
popular sentiment, consents to introduce
the expeditious and reliable system of vo
ting by telegraph. And when once adopt
ed
its benefits will soon become so apparent
that members will be surprised that they
had not yielded to its introduction when
its advantages were first announced and
its practicability were elsewhere tested and
established.
1776--1876--$2,900,000
At last the success of the Centennial
Exposition is assured. It is quite prob
able very many of our people, says the
Lancaster Examiner, never comprehend
ed the magnitude of the undertaking to
which Pennsylvania was committed, when,
in response to her :appeal, Congress de
cided that the national festival should be
held within her borders. But the great
Keystone State has nobly vindicated her
reputation for patriotism, enterprise and
liberality. There was more than one un
kind prediction but the prophets have
come to grief. The net of Congress au
thorizing the Exhibition, singularly eau_
tious and illiberal, not only forbids the
Government assuming any financial re
sponsibility, but provides that the Presi
dent shall not give the project official
sanction in a proclamation inviting the
co-operation of the world, until the erec
tion of the buildings "shall have been
guaranteed." The Centennial Board of
Finance apportioned the stock among the
States, but as a matter of course, the
people of every other Commonwealth have,
with one accord, said : "Well, let us see
what Pennsylvania proposes to do."
Our equitable quota was only about
$900,000. Simply to have raised this
promptly would have been doing well.—
But we did not stop even at one million,
and to-day Pennsylvania leads the way
with the magnificent subscription, in a
round sum, of two million nine hundred
thousand dollars! This has been raised
as follows: citizens of Philadeldhia, $900,-
000; city Government, $500,000; steam
railways of the State, $500,000 ; State ap
propriation, $250,000 ; special tax on Phil
adelphia city railways, $750,000. Com
mittees are still actively at work in Phila
delphia, and the people of the whole State
will be given an oppottunity to swell the
fund. The amount already subscribed,
however, justifies the President in per
forming the duty assigned him by Con
gress, and assures the success of the Ex
position. It is expected that the procla
mation will be forthcoming in a few days,
and after that there will be no more se
rious talk of "rival', projects in New York
l or elsewhere
It may be asked, why should the peo
ple of Pennsylvania assume any further
financial responsibility in the matter ?
The answer is, that having guaranteed the
success of the undertaking, having put
their shoulder to the wheel in the begin
ning, they should have a reasonable share
in the profits.
Nine million nine hundred thousand
people visited the Paris Exposition of 1867;
it is proboble the coming display will at-1
tract quite as great a multitude; they will
come from every quarter of the habitable
globe, and from the East in greater num
bers thrin we anticipate. Indeed, nothing
but a national calamity, such as war or
pestilence, can prevent the exposition from
being an immense financial success. The
act of Congress, provides that, as soon as
possible, after the close of the exhibition.
the property of the Board of Finance shall
be converted into cash, and after the pay
ment of all debts, the remainder is to be
divided pro rota among the shareholders.
It is to be hoped that the citizens of our
I State, outside of Philadelphia, will exhibit
a practical and substantial interest in what
will, beyond doubt, be the grandest inter
national display in the history of the world.
CONGRESSIONAL SALARY STEAL ,
The 3/fAiiior, at different times, has
contained the following paragraphs on the
above subject :
"Some of our exchanges are wild with
praise for the Congressmen who Cued
against an increase of salary, but have not
a word to say against their participation
in the robbery by accepting the increased
pay. At common law, be is a criminal,
equally guilty with the thief, who accepts
part or parcel of the stolen goods, knowing
them to be such."
And again :
"The indignation excited among the
people by the outrageous robbery of the
National Treasury by the members of the
Forty-second Congress is both loud and
deep, and will undoubtedly consign to an
ignominious political death every Con
gressman who uses that ill-gotten gain for
his personal benefit. , The tact that a Con
gressman voted against the bill increasin. ,
his salary finds no praise from the people
where it is not known that he has either
refused to draw the extra five thousand or
having drawn it has not announced his
intention not to use it for his private pur
poses. In fast, the sober-second thought
of the masses now condemns lie who voted
against the increase, and then drew the
extra salary, more than it does he who
voted for it. The one is likened unto a
sneak-thief who, under cover, takes what
he knows he has no right to, the other a
bold and daring highwayman who at least
has the courage to commit his crime in
open day."
Just think of classing Mr. Speer as a
common thief! This is a little rough, but
for
.$5,000 he can stand it !
par The appeal of the Seventh Buy
Baptists to the Legislature to relieve them
from the penalties of the act of 1794 has
been met, by the narrow-minded bigots of
that body with the same intolerant spirit
that banished Roger Williams, and burned
John Rodgers at the stake. It will take
Pennsylvania several hundred years to
shake off such men as Elliott of Philadel
phia, and until then religious toleration
cannot be expected.
te „, If the parties who signed Doctor
Dunwiddie's denial had read over the
JOURNAL, before attaching their names to
it, they would have exhibited ordinary dis
cretion. There was no allusion to instruc
tions in the article. We suppose, however,
that the Doctor got up the paper and ask
ed them to sign it and they did so trusting
him once—again—too oftn.
to— When an honorable man and good
Republican like ex-Sheriff Zeigler, is used
to bolster up a falsehood, he at once cor
rects the misrepresentation. We advise
the League to stick to Shade. Shearer,
Laird and Lang. Almost anything can
then be proven without trouble.

THE RAIL ROAD POSTAL SERVICE.
The intimation given to the Postmaster
13enteral, by the Railroad companies, that
the postal cars would be withdrawn if the re-
numeration was not increased to wore than
double the present rates, has led to ahigh
er appreciation on the part of the public,
of that branch of the postal service. The
Postmaster General had no 'authority to
comply with the demand, and so informed
the representatives of the different railroad
companies. He was then told that the
cars would be withdrawn on and after the',
Ist of April (to -day).
At this juncture the Postmaster Gener
al addressed a letter to the U. S. Attorney
General asking that gentleman for as official
opinion as to the extent of his authority in
the matter. At thesame time the new select
committee of the Senate on transportation
took the matter into consideration. The
representatives of the railroad companies
finding that their demand could not be
complied with within the time stated when
the cars would be removed from the road,
have so far abated their purpose as to con
tinue the service until a meeting can be
held in which the interests on both sides
of the controversy shall be fully represent
ed. The present understanding is that the
committee will moet at the Fifth-avenue
hotel, in New York, on Tuesday of next
week, for the purpose of hearing the ar
guments in opposition to the views of the
Post Office Department. It is understood
that this argument will be made by lead
ing lawyers, who have already been en
gaged by the interested companies. It
will mainly be confined to an effort to prove
that the remuneration of the companies by
the Government for the service is less than
that which they receive from private par
ties for similar or an equal amount of ser
vice. The committee will not be able to
reach a final decision as soon as the rail
roads may desire, as it will be necessary
that the members should continue their
investigations into other branches of the
question before they begin the preparation
of, their report. Of course, the report
cannot be submitted until Congress meets
next December. In the meantime the
roads must be content to abide the results
of the compromise which they themselves
have offered.
THE BACK PAY DRAB.
On the morning it was first announced
by the daily press that members of Con
gress had increased their annual pay for
public services from $5,000 to $7,500 a
year, and made it , to include the last two
years, a general feeling of surprise and in
dignation was felt and freely expressed
throughout the entire nation. Those who
voted for the measure were then, if not
before, impressed with the fact that they
had done injustice to their constituents
and violated the moral sentiment of the
country. But instead of reconsidering
the vote, they consoled themselves with
the belief that it would be only a nine
days' wonder, and would then be forgotten.
A month has now elapsed since the
vote was taken, and the feeling upon the
subject;throughout the country, has
in
creased in intensity. Letters are daily
received by prominent officials in Wash
ington, from postmasters and other prom
inent men in nearly every State, in which
it is stated that there has been nothing
for a long time past that has taken such a
fast hold upon the public mind and caus
ed such intense indignation.
There is no room for an expression of
surprise at this. The act was a wrong done to
the people, by their immediate representa
tives, and the actors in the game must not
be surprised if it cannot be forgotten. The
Republic, tor April, published at Wash l i
-
ington, paints the vote legalizing this Con
gressional swindle, giving all the names
on both sides in full. But of what account
is the vote, in discriminating between
the yeas and noes, when, each one, with
out regard to his vote, as carried off his
quota of the plunder. To this there have
been some rare exceptions, but so far the
number is quite too limited for the inter
ests of official virtue.
Many of the best friends of the Presi
dent hoped, and believed, that:he would
veto the bill ; although in doing so, being
attached to the appropriation bill, it would
have involved him in the necessity of cal
ling an extra session of Congress, to pro
vide for the appropriations. But in this
thing they wered isappointed. The President
signed the bill, and in doing so legalized
the act increasing the salaries of members
of Congress and raising his own salary from
$25,000 to $50,000 a year. His friends
arc not slow to say openly that his signing
that bill was the great mistake of his life.
It measured him and marked his dimen
sions. He is not quite—a second Wash•
ington.
SECRETARY BELKN-91 3 'S SOUTHERN TOUR.
Secretary Belknap left Washington city
on Friday night en route to Chicago, where
he would be joined by Gen. Sheridan and
the two would proceed direct to San An
tonio, Texas. The mission is ostensibly to
inspect the forts on the Rio Grande, and
throughout the "Department of the Mis
souri" ; but dame rumor insists that this is
only a bluff or a blind, and that the real
object is connected with some prospective
annexation movements. The adjoining
sections of Mexico have manifested a de
sire to be relieved from the wretchedly
managed government of that country, and
to place themselves and their country under
the American flag. It would no doubt be,
in a commercial point of view, a great
gain to the people on the other side of the
Rio Grande, if such a change could be ef
fected by treaty. But the time for this
step to be taken has not yet arrived, and
no one knows this better than President
Grant. Besides, it will be remembered
that in his last Inaugural Address he inti
mated most emphatically that henethrth
during his administration, any movement
contemplating an extension of territory
must originate with the people, and reach
the Executive through their legal repre
sentatives.
Other rumors are in circulation in ref
erence to the Secretary's mission, but as
no information is given from official quar
ters on the subject, speculation must take
its course until time shall settle the ques
tion. it will then be found that a gener
al inspection of the forts and morale of
the army has been commenced and will be
continued and extended to all parts where
there are troops and forts to inspect, and
that while Secretary Belknap has been
assigned to the Military Department of
the Missouri, others will be authorized to
inspect the Department of the Pacific and
the other Military Divisions.
RESTORATION OF LANDS SEIZED FOR
TAXES.
On the authority of an aet of the last
session of Congress, the lands seized for tax
es, are all about to be restored upon pay
ment of taxes, costs &c. These lands are
principally in South Carolina and Florida.
TILE PACIFIC RAILROAD AND THE 11. S.
GOVERNMENT.
Tinder authority of a recent act of Con
gress instructions have been issued at the
Treasury Department to withhold the
whole amount of earnings of the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific railroads for
mail transportation service for the Gov
ernment. This step is necessary to compel
these companies to fulfil their obligations
to and contracts with the Government.
TILE AMERICAN AND BRITISH CLAIMS
COMMISSION
This Commission, now sitting in Wash
ington. have thus rar settled 259 cases,
leaving 218 Co the docket, a larger part
of which are ready for a hearing. The
Commission are confident they can close
their business in September next. -
THE DECREASE or THE PUBLIC DEBT.
The decrease of the public debt for
March was $1.644,058.97. Two unusual
items made- the aggregate of the drafts
upon the Treasury somewhat heavier than
usual for March. These were $1,294,435
paid to the Washington Board of Public
Works, and the additional compensition,
$1,324,000, paid to members of Congress.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Twenty-five new public buildings, in va
rious parts of the country, were authorized
at the last session of Congress.
OEN. HARDIE ON A TOUR OF INSPECTION
Inspector General Hardie will leave
Washington, in a few days, on a tour of
inspection on the Pacific Coast, and will
be absent several months.
IMMIGRATION TO WASHINGTON CITY.
A large number of very fine private re
sidences are under contract, to be erected
during the ensuing Summer in Washing
ton. These are owned principally by cap
italists in other parts of the Union who
propose to make the Capital their future
place of residence.
PERSONAL MOVEMENTS.
The President, with Mrs. end Miss
Grant and Gen. Babcock, left Washington
at 1 o'clock to-day for New York. The
visit is on private business. They will
stop at the New York Avenue Hotel, and
return on Monday.
Mrs. Gaines is again in luck. The U.
S. Supreme Court, yesterday, affirmed the
decree of the Circuit Court of Louisiana
in favor of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, for
$125,266, as rent and profits of lands be
longing to her, which had been in pos
session and use of the city of New Orleans.

THE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT.
HALIFAX, April 2.—The fallowing is
the captain's statement : Wo sailed from
Liverpool on March 20, and during the
first part of the passage had favorable
weather and easterly wind. On the 24th,
25th and 26th we experienced heavy south- ;
west and westerly gales, which brought the
ship down to 118 miles a day. On the
31st March the engineer's reports showed
about 121 tons of coal on board. We
were then 460 miles east of Sandy Hook,
with wind southwest and high westerly
swell and falling barometer, the ship steam
on eight knots per hour. I consider
ed risk too great to push on, as we
might find ourselves in the event of a gale
shut out from any port of supply, and so
decided to bear up for Halifax.
At one P. 31. on the 31st, Sambro island
was distant 170 miles, the ship's speed
varying from eight to twelve knots:per
hour, wind south, with rain, which veered
to westward at eight P. at., with clear
weather. At midnight I juged the ship
to have made 122 miles, which would
place her 48 miles south of Sambro, and I
then left the deck and went into the chart
room, leaving orders about the look-out,
and to let me know if they saw anything,
and call me at three A. M., intending then
to put the ship's head to southward and
await daylight,
My first intimation of the catastrophe
was the striking of the ship on Mars Is
land and remaining there fast. The sea
immediately swept away all the port boats.
The officers went to their stations and
commenced clearing away the weather
boats. Rockets were fired by the second
officer. Before the boats could be cleared,
only ten minutes having elapsed, she keel
ed heavily to the port side, rendering the
starboard boats useless. Seeing that no
help could be got from the boats I got the
passengers into the rigging and on the
outside rails, and encourage them to go
forward where the ship was highest and
less exposed to the water.
Third officer, Mr. Brady and Quarmas
ters Owens and Speakman by this time
having established communication with
the outlying rock, about ferty yards dis
tant, by means of a line got four lines to
the rock, along which about 200 people
passed. Between tho rock and shore there
was a passage 100 yards in width. A rope
was successfully passed across this, by
which means fifty got to land, though
many were drowned in the attempt.
At SA. 31. the first boat appeared fioni
the island, but was too sm:11 to be of any
assistance. Through the exertions of Mr.
Brady the islanders were aroused, and by
6 A. as. three large boats came to our assist
ance. By their efforts all that remained
on the side of the ship and on the rock
were landed in safety and cared for by a
poor fisherman named Glancy and his
daughter.
During the day the survivors, to the
number of 429, were drafted off to various
houses scattered about, the resident mag
istrate, Edmund Ryan, rendering valuable
assistance. The chief officer having
got
up the mizzen rigging, the sea cut off his
retreat. He stood for six hours by women
who had been placed in the rigging. The
sea was too high to attempt his rescue.
At three P. 31. a clergyman, Rev. Mr. An
cient, succeeded in getting him a line and
getting him off.
Many of the passengers, saloon and
steerage, died in the rigging from cold.
Among the number was the purser of the
ship, Before the boats went out I placed
two ladies in the life boat, but finding the
boat useless, carried them to the main
rigging, where I left them and went aft to
encourage others to get forward on the
side of the ship. At this juncture the
boiler exploded and the boat rolled over
to leeward. The ship was then on her
beam ends. Finding myself useless there,
I went to talk to the ladies forward, but I
found them gone, nor did I see them after
ward.
Many passengers at this time could not
be stimulated to any effort to save them
selves, but lay in the rigging and died
from fright and exposure. I remained on
the side encouraging, helping and direct•
ing until about fifteen were landed, when
finding that my hands and legs were be
coming useless I left the ship. Two other
boats were close and embarked the remain
der.
On reaching the shore I dispatched Mr.
Brady, the third officer, off to Halifax,
across the country to telegraph the news
of the disaster and obtain assistance. Mr.
Marrow the Cunard line agent, promptly
responded, and sent two steamers with
provisions to convey the survivors to Hal
ilia, where they will be cared for and for
warded to New York the first opportunity
in charge of the first and fourth officers.

There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment will not
relieve, no swelling it will not subdue, and no lameness
which it will not cure. This is strong language, but it is
true. Where the parts are not gone, its effects aro mar
