By order ot the mending t k _ pEpFEB Chairman Democratic standing Committee, jgy-The controversy, at this late day of the campaign, which has sprung: up between Messrs Cornman and Petfer, two of the candidates for State Senator, —for both of whom we have the highest' respect—is unfortunate, lor we presume both have endeavored to conduct the campaign fairly and honorably. It is due to both gentlemen that we should give our version of the dispute or mis understanding. Attherequestof friends of various candidates— but without the authority of said candidates— wo printed at this office tickets containing the names of two, three or four, just as the person ordering them desired. Indeed, we have, as heretofore, printed just the kind oI tickets ordered. This has always been done", and there is nothing wrong in it. But we can say this of Messrs Peffer and Cornman—neither of them over or dered tickets containing more than hla. own name. We can say the same of all the other candidates; they had their tickets printed containing but one name in addition to Mr. Eckles’ name, who has no competitor. The printed tickets containing three or four names were ordered by parties who wanted them for their own convenience, and this is re sorted to every year, and wo see nothing wrong in It. We say this much in justice to all the candidates, and especially in justice to Mr, Cornman.and Mr. Peffer, both of whom, it is evident, felt aggrieved and wronged without sufficient cause. Not- ; withstanding their animadversions on OttUU ÜbUOtf vy*M —— - " -> Cornman *re amongour most respected citizens, and as they have heretofore been on terms of intimacy, we trust nothing may occur to mar the good feel ing that formerly existed between tbem. We think Cumberland is entitled to the Senator, and the way to get him is to harmonize and pull together for the man who carries our county. KS-Saturday ' next, 'August 6, the Democrats of the several wards and townships will assemble at their usual places of voting, to nominate the men of their choice for the Various offices. Wo hope there may be a good turn-out at these primary elections, and that a ticket may be placed in nomination that will sweep the county by eight hundred or a thousand majority. It is gratifying toknow, that, generally speaking, a good feeling exists between the candidates, and that the campaign has been carried on fairly. Every man runs on the strength of his own name, and not one of the candidates has at tempted to form “ rings,” or resort to any selfish or unfair expedient. We speak thus from our own knowledge as well as by outliority of the various candidates. lyffnn. George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, who Is now in Europe, will re turn to this country by the fifteenth of August, from which date until the elec tion be Will devote his tlmo as well as bis attention to the flaying of Buckeye radicalism. Tnr. rANumiim for koldiebs and AVOUIUSCIJtE.V The soldiers and workingmen of Pennsylvania cannot fail to make a distinction between the candidates of the two political parties at the coming State election in Pennsylvania. ■■ The Republican candidate for Audi tor General is n man who never had any connection with or sympathy lor the toiling masses. Gging into the Ufiny ns a country doctor he was soon elevated to.the lucrative position of Medical Director, not on account of any superior fitness, but becausehehappen ed to bo a relative' of the Secretary, of War, E. M. Stanton. He had an easy time serving his country, got big pay, hut never smelt powder or received a wound. Ho was nominated simply because the corrupt Treasury King wanted a willing tool in the Audltor- Generid’sOfTlce. Cflmernn- lonkodover ■ the material on hand willing to serve his purposes, and picked up Dr. Stanton. The order was issued ,to those who set up delegates in the different counties, and the nomination of the creature of the Bing was settled in advance of the meeting of the Convention. The Democratic candidate for Audi- tor General is one of the most skillful mechanics- in the State. When he worked as a machines! he acknowledg ed no superior in his business. When ha studied law he . displayed the same energy which distingulsncu wim when he wielded the hammer. When the war came he entered the army not to seek for an easy berth, but to fight with nlMds might, as he hud,labored at/the bench and the forge. In all the glorious roll of thegallant Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, there is no.name which shines brighter than that of General William McCandless. The soldiers and. workingmen of Pennsylvania must be alike .attracted by the antecedents of the Democratic candidate for Auditor General. They cannot conscientiously vote for the creature of the corrupt Treasury Bing. The Badicai candidate for Surveyor- General saw some service in the army as a commander of negro troops, but we have looked in vain through Bates’ History and the files of Eepublican newspapers for any record which ban commend him to the white soldiers of Pennsylvania. When he returned from the army he at once entered political life as a recognized tool of Simon" Came ron. After being defeated as a candi date for the Common Council of Phila delphia his political master had him made a sub-postmaster. Leaving that position he next appeared in the capac ity of a book-keeper to a Schuylkill coal company, and as tecretary of the Coal Operators’ Ming , which was organ ized for the purpose of crushing doym the workingmen and compelling them to yield to the demands of a set of greedy monop olists by starving them and, their families. There is not a surviving soldier of the Pennsylvania Beservea to whom Capt. .Cooper, the Democratic candidate for Surveyor General, is not well and fav •orably known, either in person or by reputation. When he left the army he went to work in his own saw mil), and identified himself with the industrial classes of the Commonwealth. When the’soldiers and the working- §ifrvey f p SP nB - y i vtinl<l cast a for will see to It that the name of Captain James H. Cooper is on their ticket. The candidates for the soldiers and workingmen are ■ McCanm/ess and COOI’EB. , The Radical papers continue to make a great ado, because G,en. McCandless refused to accept a Brigadier General’s commission when the war was over, and after he had fought on every bloody battle field of the Army of the Potomac, and been several times severely wound ed. When he desired and deserved to be promoted, if; was refused him, and when, at last proffered, it was de servedly looked upon as an empty, hon or. These very fellows who are now abusing him never bad a Brigadier’s ■commission offered them! They never served in the locality where such honors are earned. But, what does it amount to after all, so far as honor and thanks are concerned. Gen. McCandless’■ ex perience was during the war, and more so now than ever, that the /hanks of a grateful country would have been be stowed upon him just as freely as if he had followed the example of those who are abusing him, and never gone into the army at all, or bummed around ns hospitalsteward, as did his radical oppo-. nent, who considered the post of safety the post of honor. The Arizona Massacre.—The mas sacre of unoffending and peaceably dis posed Indians in Arizona, is not only a disgrace to the nation, but a deed which ought to call down condign punishment upon all who were engaged in it. Pun ishment in this case is demanded not only by justice, but by public policy. If the criminals are permitted, to escape,, how can the government undertake to execute vengeance upon any Indian tribe, which may fail upon a white set tlement and massacre its inhabitants. JNO tale OI savage uumacry ever exceed ed in details of barbarity the massacre of Arizona. It was simply fiendish, and the perpetrators ought to be hunted down and hanged. The Radical Governor of Florida lias a son in the Jacksonville Post Office, and when the fath'er was impeached, the son furnished him with seventeen thousand dollars of the public money to pay the expenses of a trial. The Postmaster has been called upon to pay up, and the Governor is now in New York trying to make a raise by selling railroad bonds which lie stole. Such is the news which comes to us from Wash ington by telegraph, and such is the material of which the Republican party in the South is composed. It speaks a great deal for the wisdom and. unlimited information of most of the Radical papers, that they praised Gov. Randolph of New Jersey to the skies, and heldhim up as a pure patriot and a spotless statesman, in whom there was neither fear or guile, and contrasted him with Democratic officials. Now it so happens that Gov. Randolph is one of the most uncompromising Bemocrats in the country. Thu question is, Will" the Radical papers eat their words of praise when they find out that lie is a Bemocrat ? Thebe have been some dissensions among the Democracy of San Francisco, but all these have b.e.en healed up, and the party Is now a unit in California. That ought to insure the re-election of Gov. Haight by a large majority. thir imdical *i)niu;ss For coolness commend us to Mr. Bui acll Errett, Chnirmnn of the Radical Stale Committee. He steps at once Into the foreground ns,thosuccessfu) livid of Secretary Boutwell, as a manipulator of figures. Starngely enough. Mr. Errett confines his appeal solely to the pockets of the taxpayers of the Commonwealth, ai It is not hard to understand why lie tl should do so. The people have felt the si hand of th« tax-gatherer to such an ex- d tent for the Inst ten years, that some a emollient is now necessary. Hence Mr. i Errett, in behalf of the liadical Com- t mittee, comes to the foot-lights and tells ! tho people that they have not Seen rall ied during the last ten years. The fol lowing is tho grandiloquent style in which- he attacks the question : > In 1881, when Gov. Curtin came into office, the State Debt, in round' numbers, I -waaS4oi(K)o.ooot— Shortly ..uftur.vcui:dB..tha. Southern rebellion broke out. and the Stale was compelled to borrow $8,500,000, to arm the troopa and protect our bor ders, thus adding that much to the State Debt. i In the ten years that have since passed away, this war loan of $3,5000,000 has been paid oft; the State Debt bus been reduced from $10,000,000 to a little oyer $29,000,000; the three mill tax which was, i levied-for State purposes on rest estate urior to 1861 has been repealed ; the tax on professions and occupations has been taken off; the annual contributions of the Stale to the Public Schools has been greatly enlarged; a system of schools has been built up for the education and sup port of the orphans of soldiers who died in me wm—a nuuie uenvfaotlon. costing over.balf a million yearly; and theaflalrs of the State, generally, haye been so man aged as Insecure prosperity to.ibe people- Now, while Mr. Errett was indulging in such a startling array of figures, it would have been no additional trouble ■to him to have told tho whole truth about the matter. The public debt was hot $40,000,000 in round numbers in 1861. The Auditor General’s report to Governor Packer for that year puts it at $37,908,847 50. Against this was a sinking fund of $10,981,000, leaving tho actual indebtedness of the Slate, on the first of January, 1801, $26,988,847 50, or some $14,000,000 less than Mr. Errett alleges, and some three millions less than it is now after ten years of Radical rule. ■ Bat pur financier stops several leagues short of the truth in his exposition. If he will call upon Hon. R. W. Mackey, State Treasurer, he will find that at the close of the last fiscal year the State debt of Pennsylvania was $81,111,061 90 in stead of twenty-nine millions, and this, too, after deducting oWsinking funds. He will also find out several other things worth publishing. Among other things he will find that in the matter of sinking funds alone, the people of Pennsylvania have been robbed'during the past ten years to the tune of $14,834,762 29. Wo propose to demonstrate this fact: During the past ten years theßadicai State government has disposed of the public works, worth to the State $35,099,084 91, for which it realized the sum of $11,254,321 62, and which was carried to the sinking fund for the evident purpose of shewing a reduction of the debt. But even that amount, added to the ton millions of sinking fund of fen years ago, and subtracted from the State debt, leaves it three millions greater than it was under the last Democratic admin istration ; or, in other words, the State of dollars in the last ten years, or at the rate of a million and a half per year, which is the actual increase of the State debt for the past year, as will appear by the inspection of the hooks of the State Treasurer and the 1 Auditor General. What has become of the Public Works of the State? Within the past ten years the Radical State Government has sold them for less tiian qne-third of their actual value. We shall not stop here to discuss the Rings that grew rich in the transfer, nor make mention of the fa vored gougers who thumbled the eyes of a confiding public and beslavered their victims.with protestations of.hon esty, while they gouged. That is a subject which we promise to ventilate between this and the October election, and we cordially invite the ingenious Chairman of the Radical State Commit tee, who.is in the secrets of the Ring, to assist us in the undertaking. But we pass from the strictly financial to the purely “hlfalutin” of the address. It arraigns the Democratic party for every conceivable and inconceivable crime, but principally for repudiation. On the question of repudiation, the' Chairman delivers himself in this wise —while referring to the sacredness of public obligations; At present, 100, It is opposed to the means necessary for raising revenue to pay the interest on the public debt, and secure its steady reduction; lain favor of a semi-repudiation of that deblby paying it.in depreciated currency, if paid at all; is watching for an opportunity to. qnnul the new amendments to the Constitu tion; and is generally committed to any line of policy which will remit the coun try to its condition prior to JB6O. We thank Mr. Errett for •< teaching us this word.” We simply refer hifn v , «a an answer to tho above, to , his own career, to his speeches and his votes in. the Senate of Pennsylvania, repudiating the sacred obligations of our grand old Ow.uu.ton-.aQiH,, compelling its credit ors to take “depreciated currency” for their bonds, and furnishing “ Wee” Kemble tho cue for his insulting an swer to the representative of the bond holders of Pennsylvania. Now will. Mr. Errett explain this matter ? Shall the chief of repudiates himself become a teacher in the politi cal Israel, and after having performed his Jurare ares upon the attar of the golden calf, charge those who stood aloof with paganism ? Since Mr. Errett led the first repudiation raid in tho loyal North, is ho entitled to rebukehis own wickedness before he has under gone the necessary probation in sack cloth and ashes ? As to what the Democracy propose iu connection with the amendment to the Constitution, they beg no man tobelieve as a favor. They do not attempt to rival the Radical party in matters of hypocrisy. They say what they mean, and they moan what they say:—Pitts burgh Post. It is now proposed to divide Texas into three sections. The people of that State will vote at the Fall election upon the question of dividing it, the three sections to be called Eastern Texas, Middle Texas and Western Texas. It is not certain that the proposition will carry. A provision for the division of the State was made in the treaty of an nexation, and the Radicals are anxious to put the project through, as they hope thereby to makea gain of United States Senators. A naiio.vai. iiihuuai'i' Washington,’ .1 uly IS.n-The hoard of Indian Commissioners have just re ceived an official report of Lieutenant Whitman, of the Third Cavalry, con cerning tho iate massacre of friendly Indians in Arizona, In February five old r/omeii came to his camp, famishing ndf nearly naked. Ho fed them, and 103 asked permission to return with We others, and a young warrior dived to be at peace. The latter carae.i Jd, after some negotiations, brought Fwith him his whole band, and'was pyured of protection and aid. All were pht6erb-in a designated camp, and the facts reported to Gen. Stonoman, and instructions as. to feeding anti treating asked for all. The reply received from Stbncman’s headquarters,, after a long delay , was to return the- report without comment, except to call attention to the (hot thatit had-not been verifled exaetly according to regulations. After two 00 throe months .the number of Indiana, which had come in and were living peaceably,constantly aiding in the work about the fort by gathering hay and .wood, for themselves, as tar as possible, was 510. The officer in Charge gives a most satisfactory account.of the beha vior of the Indians; of their desire to keep the peace, and to contribute, as far as possible, to their own support. They were also active in exerting a good In fluence upon the Indians in the vicini ty. Prom first (0 last they acted in-good j faith, and exhibited great content and happiness. They were given to under stand that they wore under the protec tion of the government, but many had moved their camp to higher ground, at a little distance from the fort, for the purpose of health, and because water was more abundant. On the morning of the doth of April, a band of citizens from Tuseon, Arizona, without warning or provocation of any kind, surprised the peaceful and unarmed camp, and began an indiscriminate butchery. Of .one hundred and twenty-five killed or missing, only eight were men. Many were wounded, and the camp was En tirely burned. Lieutenant Whitman had succeeded in getting some of the hands in again, and was trying to pro tect them. The above matter has been referred by the Indian Commission to the War Department, with the request that;those citizen murderers of Indians may be arrested with the promptness shown in the case of the Indian chief Satina and others, but the request did not meet with much encouragement'. The President, however, has.determin ed butohers of unoffending Indians shall’be punished, if- any of them can be found. TIIE CAKPET-BAG6EKS. The Philadelphia Inquirer, a paper that is and has-been intensely Radical, occasionally betrays glimmerings not only of common sense, but sometimes seems disposed to speak out boldly in the cause of truth and justice. In a re cent article on the condition of the peo ple of the South, the Inquirer uses the following language: '.‘When Horace Greeley returned from his extended Southern tour in the early summer, h|.s first public speech was aim- ; ed , against the carpet-bangers-whom he found fattening through political frauds, upon the Southern people. "While his itnHrgmwßViiire'BB'\fflfjBP tl X-''lBoro«e. that the South should be governed by Southern men, that universal amnesty for political offenses would be as wise as just, aud that while lie admits the Ku klux exists, he thinks it would not if the whole people of the late Confederacy were permitted to vote for their public officers a» well as compelled to pay taxes. It ap pears that in regard, to carpet-baggers, at least, Mr. Greeley Is not alone in hla opinions. The' Galveston * Hulletin,' a staunch-'Kopubileau paper, says of the Republican ) carpet-bag 1 Legislature of Texas, that it Is 'The most corrupt body of men which ever assembled under the sanction of the law to rob the people.— Its members have enriched themselves at the expense of outrageous subsidies, ami now enjoy mansions, bank accounts, railroad-stock, .buggies and other luxu ries.’ The Kuklux .policy is one utterly without excuse; but had the South sub jugated-the North, denied its people the ballot, while taxing them to support a government ip which they bad no voice in creating, sent Southerners to their Assemblies, put.them in their custom houses, post offices and courts, is It not possible that human nature would assert itself here in pretty much the same fash ion an It does there? Given certain cir cumstances, certain results follow.” ' Democrats .who wish to see their party auccessful.should assist their home paper, strengthen the hands of its editor, contribute to its columns every item of local interest, endeavor to extend its circulation as far ns in their power, as sist in disseminating Democratic truths In every part of the political vineyard, and labor to build up a paper that will be a credit to them at home and abroad. This done, and they will have accom plished more for their party and Its principles than anything else in the line of political duty that could be allotted them to perform in the most hotly oofi tested campaign. Every paper they are the means of sending to another is a messenger of truth. It is like casting •bVefel'itpon the waters, and will returii to reward them and benefit the partyi Let the good work go on 1 * Who Pays the National Debt?— The people pay the national debt, and yet Grant and Boutwell both claim great credit for having, by means of an army of hungry. office-holders, drawn the money from their pockets. Judge Chase puts the matter fairly when he says that" Boutwell deserves as much credit as Grant for the payment of the national debt, as far as that has been done i but after ail it is the people who pay off the debt. They would do it as readily with any other man in the White House as General urant. To be sure, his friends give him credit for it, but the people deserve the praise.” Tm: signs of the times indicate that the Bcpubi lean party Is hopelessly divi ded ; and a house divided against itself cannot stand. This is the logic of the situation. The record of tfiat party contains so many things that are ex travagant, malicious, fanatical and op pressive, ns to have forced upon the country, and not less upon themselves, reactionary sentiments which, as sure as thp shining sun, will work out defeat to the party who are the guilty authors of the high-handed outrages thus com mitted against a too confiding people. DEf'Al.oATi'oNS are the order of the day among Radical ofllcials. Scarcely a day passes without the record of such an event. The Savannah Custom House is the latest on the list. The Deputy Collector has pocketed about $B,OOO, I OKS, JUCASIU.ESS AS A JIECIUSIC. | Tlio Harrisburg Patriot says General \Vra. HcCandlesa, the Democratic can (iitlatt) for Auditor General of PeVinsyN vftnln, fa a practical mnchinest aiufraU. road engineer. Ho is the son pf David McCnndless, a proteslanl liiali dray man, who for many years pursued iiis calling upon the wharves in Philadel phia. At about fliteen years of age he was apprenticed to the celebrated firm of Norris Brothers, the engine builders, ,to learn their calling. He remained .with‘them five years and became a skilled workman in every branch of the trade. He so conducted himself that at the expiration of his lime they gave him a certificate of first class capacity. His intelligence,' industry _and skill liacf so elevated him,with his employers that, • the Messrs. him to take charge of and deliver to the New York juui I'h'iu a nunrber of they had built .for the'' recommended hlnfto'Gen. M’Cuiium . then superintendent of that road, and during the warj brigadier general in charge of military , railways—for em ployment. He was employed to put these engines' in practical working, and during 1851 ran an engine upon the New York-and Erie railroad, between Susqftelmnna, Psnna., and Hornellville, New York'. In 1855 he was employed by the Pennsylvania railroad company,and ran an engine between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. The necessityforskilled la bor in the shops at Parkesburg caused them to transfer him thither, and he worked alius bench in keeping engines in order for the road for several months. Owing to - the refusal of the company to promote him, he being then but twen ty-ono years of age, he left their employ and commenced the study of law with Moses A. Dropsie, Esq., of Philadelphia. ' qf ids subsequent*career as a gallant soldier we have already spoken. Thebe are Ku klux in North Caro lina. An organized band of them have a regular encampment from which they sally forth and kill innocent persons.— Why does not Grant .enforce the Ku klux bill, as he swore he would ? Is it because the outlaws are negroes who vote the Radical ticket ? If they were White desperadoes, United States troops would no doubt have had orders—for ward, march! before .this—and a howl for vengeance would have gone up from every Radical newspaper in the Union. .While concentration ie tho order of the day ,in this republican country of ours, the very reverse is going on in Great Britain. Queen Victoria has just abolished the system of purchasingcom misaions in the British army, which has been practiced under the royal warrant from time immemorial. This is one of Gladstone’s greatest reforms. It met tjie most determined, opposition from the House of Lords, and would have failed but for the decision of the Queen in fa vor of Mr. Gladstone. Tnit financial system invented and kept up by the Radical party may be a blessing in disguise, but the disguise ii so thick that but few people discern the blessing. Not since the panic of 1857 has money been sp scarce, or rather so' difficult to obtain. The circulation tends to W6II street,‘the financial centre, and consequently, the extremetities, being Mnnriipos. become cold and lifeless.— The Republican poucy is nm micoi. tratlon of wealth in the hands of the few which kills the community. The dem ocratic policy is the diffusion of wealth among the many, which gives life and a strong pulse to the producing classes. So says the Harrisburg Patriot. A contemptible Radical trick to ptevent reliable witnesses from appear-' ing before the Ku klux Investigating Committee has been unearthed in Wash-' iugton. Several Georgia gentlemen had been subpoenaed to appear, and give their testimony. As they did not ar rive in Washington-a telegram of in quiry was despatched to them, when it was ascertained that they had been noti fied not to come by a previous despatch, sent by J. R. French, the Radical mar shal of the committee. French had no authority whatever for sending his false despatch. Messrs. Beck and Blair have demanded an immediate investigation. The Allentown Democrat relates the following: A. stioit time ago a stranger entered the ticket office of the Lehigh Valley railroad at this place, and after looking around for a while took a seat on one of the settees ami soon fell asleep. He had with him a package, loosely rolled in an old newspaper, which he threw on his seat before letting himself down. While dozing away ho kept twisting his body about in his feat, until at last the paper covering of Hie aforesaid package sprang open and disclosed the fact that the contents were nothing less thah greenbacks -some of thebills visible being of the denomination of $l,OOO. An effort was at once made to rouse up the man and make him understand tbatbis carelessness might lead to bis falling in to the hands of sharpers and vultures Constantly on the move in quest of just such prey, but he was so deeply under the influence of a promiscuous assort ment of liquors that be was "not himself at all”—in fact was so far gone that ha could neither stand up, move about, or be made to understand anything said tohlm. Being perfectly helpless the depotoffloers took charge of him, gathered up his mon ey (estimated to be not less than $30,000), put It securely in a paper bag, and then placed a guard over him until the next ■train up came along, for it had by this time been ascertained that the men be longed to Wiljtesbatre. On the train coming to hand he was given in charge of the conductor who, to make matters safe, looked him arid his pile up in the mall oar. The Newberry (S. C.) Herald lias the following; “At the request of the below-signed colored men the following card was writ ten, which, after, being read byjhem, was declared to be to their satisfaction Newberry, S.

New York, July 30.—One of the most horrible explosions that evei; occurred happened tins afternoon at Staten Island fiyry, foot of Whitehall street. The steamboat Westfield was lyiugatthe dock just ready to start for Staten Island, on thq half past one trip. Abouteight hun dred passengers were aboard, and a num ber of carriages, wagons, etc. The first hell had Just rung when a terrific ex plosion took place, and the scene of con fusion and horror which" ensued.baffles description. The boiler had bursted, par rying away the entire portion of the steamer In front of the steamplpe, and scattering the debris on all aides. Me n women and children, and horses, carri a ges, wagons, boards and chairs we r hurled into the air at a terrific rale.— Nothing woaped tbn t was on the forward partioa of the boat" The passengers in the rear rushed for the landing en masse, but very few escaped without some inju ries, The eoenri was indeed frightful, and many fainted away from fear. Bodies, debris and portions of the wreck fail among tbo passengers and Increased the confusion. 'Many people fell in the river, and being unable to help themselves, were, drowned; The boiling water which was driven from the boiler scattered in all directions, scalding those who wereunable to get out of Its reach. The wlfid was blowing inward atthe time, and forced the water toward the stern of the boat, where the greater portion of the passen gers had fled to. The bodies of the Injur ed were taken to the first precinct station bouse, to'the Park hospital and to Belle vue. The greater number were taken to the Park hospital, which was soon filled, and the doctors in charge were forced to send the remainder to Bellevue, The screams of the wounded were heartrend ing; and at the hospitals the scenes were terrible to behold. The wounded were lying everywhere, some In beds, some on blankets, while others were walking around groaning, moaning and crying.— The doctors and surgeons were constant ly engaged in allaying the pain of the Wounded and have bad an extraordinary time of It. The vicinity of the hospital was filled with people. Some who bad lost their children, others their husbands, and others still drawn by curiosity. At the Battery the crowd was very large lining the shores. The Water street fer ry house was besieged by the eager exci ted crowd, continually' increasing as news of the disaster spread abroad. The alarm of fire was raised and the engines arrived. There was but litte need of their services other than to assist the wounded and search for the bodies; Car rluges and ambulances were ready to car ry each unfortunate person found to the hospital. The Westfield, at least the larger portion of it, was lying at the dock adjoining the custom house barge, of which the pilot bouse was hurled away and tbo debris floated on the water. In numerable row bnala were hovering -around the vicinity picking up the mine. The Westfield is a very old "boat but baa recently been refitted. During tbe war it was purchased by the United States government and used as a transport, and when the war closed it came into posses- Blou of the Staten Island ftrrjMompany.

Iho forward portion of the aleumei «”,is In stantly shivered Into a thousand pieces and sunk down, the smoke stack giving wav and - at the same moment an Im menss,column, of steam commenced to rise fratii the hold In front of the boiler. In a moment the water was alive with affrigglltitf'bUtharl'helngß-men.women and children. Many leaped overboard, being panic stricken, and thinking to save themselves from furtherevil. Some were saved by boats which happened to be in the vicinity at the time of the ex plosion. ■ The cries of the victims who wore scalded by the immense volume of steam and boiling water, which issued Troth the holdin frontof the boilers, were heartrending. , 'The 'harbor police and government ambulance department removed them to iiOßpitaiff after T dres-. sings upon the wounds of those most seriously hurt. Many died on the way to hospitals, while others becoming de lirious from the extreme pain they suf fered, were placed in beds hi liospjtal wards in a raving condition. One ambulance held a number of young children whose disfigured Utile facesond closed eyes presentedapitlable and touch ing sight* Their injuries placed them almost beyond the possibility of recogni tion. . , .. Many of. the persons thrown In the, water by. the explosion saved their nyea by clinging, to. plles till help arrived, when, they were taken .off-ln boats, but others whose'injuries, were, more sever© lost strength and sank 1° view of specta tors on shore. Drugstores in the neighborhood of the scone were filled to the doors with the .Wounded sufferers aud numerous medical men rendered excellent service in assist ing to relieve them. . ‘ . Immediately on theexploslon becoming known immense crowds gathered In the vicinity of the battery, and before half an hour elapsed over fifteen thousand people assembled.' Many ol these had relatives or friends on board the West field, and anxious, tearful Inquiries were made on every side to ascertain the fate of those. 1 m menso crowds also assem bleu around the hospital besieging the pfnclals with inquiries ns to those within. . ■ Coroners Keenan and Young were at the battery within a few minutes after the explosion, and the latter, took charge of the steamer and gave orders that she should not be removed from New York until an investigation he made. Surgeons at various hospitals assembled all their available force for the occasion. At Park hospital the first intimation re ceived of the explosion was the arrival of a carriage, at. two o’clock with four per sons severely injured: .From that .time, the arrivals commencedpouring in every minute, and scenes of the most heart rending description were witnessed. Many of the sufferers had their faces completely stripped of the skin and al most roasted, and others severely burned and scalded about the body and a large proportion dead. Borne of them were so horribly disfigured as to be unrecogniza ble. The beds in the wards were eoou full, and beds were improvised by placing straw and blankets on the floor. To add to the horror in the hospital inflamation jn many cases set in shortly after arrival. The shrieks and groans of the sufferers were terrible. • As it was found that many of the pa tients must inevitably die soon, the chief surgeon dispatched a messenger to pro*, cure the service of clergy to administer spiritual consolation to . the sufferers/ which they did amid the groans and yells of those lying in torture around them. _ :*-• The engineer of the Westfield, Henry Robinson, ts an intelligent colored man. fieflas made a statement of the offalrand says he was on the boat when the.boiler exploded. He had just come off the dock and the’time was. about 1:25 p..m.. Ho descended to the fire room and inquired of one of the engineers, Patrick Finnegan* how the wafer was in the boiler and was answered that it was all right. He ap r*'tavlx—l nnfl_fmind..tliat ffio water.touched the third cook.—the coiier bad only three cocks. He then went to the engine room and found the boiler carried twenty-seven pounds of steam.— He went on deck afterwards and went Into the pilothouse. He was descending the stairs to go again Into the engine room when the explosion occurred; as he stood he could not get out through the door, so ha opened tbe Crap door and saw . Robert Crosaom coming up the trap. He also stated that the boiler had been in use for niue years and It was considered good. He cannot say what caused the explosion,. The boiler had a patch on the cylinder part where the explosion occurred. It .was overhauled last winter. He exam ine.d said patch on Thursday last and i then seemed to be in ajSood, safe condi tion* ' 0. It,is asserted that tbe accident occurred: through Robinson’s carelessness while under Che influence of liquor, but. this ap pears unfounded, ns bis statement was given while perfectly sober only a short time after theexploslon. i A curious feature of the explosion was the eacape qf John Macer, ] pilot, who was thrown from the forward ] pilot bouse to a height of twenty feet in ; the air and alighted on the rear part of boat, escaping without a scratch. One man, said to be oue of the firemen, was found among the dead with the back part of hie head absolutely blown off. . Michael Regan, who was a passenger on the Westfield at the time of the ex plosion, states that tbe boat was crowded with excursionists, and numerous groups of men, women and children, many leaning out of the windows watching tbe tow boats, <&o. t in the vicinity when suddenly as the boat was about to starta terrible shock of explosion was felt, and be heard a loud noise and became un conscious for a time. When conscious- {Vhrthe Volunteer. Vbbitas. ness returned he was struggling for life in the . water a little distance from the Westfield and many around him. He: must have again become uhconaolous.for nil was blank until he found himself on land. Ho was carried Into a liquor store and attended to, along with about thirty others.

His.improve :ment conais'a in what is described as a moveable joint on the shaft of the pro peller outside of the stern-post of the 3oat by which the propeller can be moved laterally by a standard coming up like the rudder-head to the deck of the boat. On this is Acted a semi-circular yoke about five feet long, to each end of which a chain is fastened, the bugles passing around a wheel about a root iu diameter, which is fastened to the rud der-head, and fitted with cogs to each of the links of Ihe chain. Thus each motion of the rudder altera the direction of the propeller-with the helm amidships; the pressure of the .propeller Is In the line of the keel of the boat, or directly aft, as In ordinary boats, but as the rudder is moved the pressure is shitted to the quarter, thus making the propeller an aid to the rudder in steering the. boat, and requiring so slight a deflection'of .the rudder that little nr no swell is caused thereby. And this is the advantage claimed, that the boats will run without, any wash to injure the banks of the canal anil will steer easily even when there ia little more water in the canal than the boat draws. Mr. Catbeart, it is reported,, has steamed his little propeller six knots, an Hour without making any perceptible swell in her wake, she all the time an swering the helm admirably. gUiiJectiscmeute.
