TAPPING THE WIRES.
The investigation by the United States lo
cal inspectors of steam vessels in Philadel
phia into the collision between the 6teamer
Champion and the Lady Octavia began yes
terday. Captain Lockwood, of the Cham
pion, and his engineer and a seaman testi
fied. The Captain declared that the Octavia
struck the Champion. The seaman was un
able to answer positively whether the Cham
pion struck the Octavia or not. The exami
nation will continue several days.
The Senate sub-committee investigating
the Spofford-Kellogg case was continued
yesterday. Evidence was adduced in re
gard to the alleged election to the Packard
Legislature of one Moore from the Seventh
ward of New Orleans in 1870, which showed
that his election was secured by fraudulent
returns. One Bernard Williams, a Polish
Jew, was also examined, and gave in testi
mony highly prejudicial to Kellogg’s case.
Kellogg claims, however, that he can suc
cessfully rebut his evidence.

disaster was concluded yesterday. The
board made personal inspection of the Lady

Captain, officers and crew from all blame
for the colision, commending their prompt
action at the time of the disaater, and leav

Proposed Democratic Reconciliation
in New York,
A correspondent of the New York
Herald, from Syracuse, states positively
that a plan for the' reorganization of the
Democratic party in the city of New
York, and for the reconciliation of ita
factional elements in the State at large,
was developed last week, with a reasona
ble prospect of success, and that at a
conference of leading Democrats some
days ago the plan was agreed upon.
This correspondent says it was resclved
to make ex-Govemor Horatio Seymour
the arbiter between the waning factions.
It is proposed to have a number of the
leading Democrats of the State, including
Judge Church and Mr. Tilden, or his
representatives, meet shortly in the city
of Utica and to have both sides present
their grievances to Mr. Seymour. After
listening to these grievances Mr. Sey
mour is to be asked, first, to submit a
plan for the reorganization of the party
in the city of New York, and to propose
a basis of representation in the coming
State convention not founded upon the
vote of either faction, but in accordance
with the same plan adopted in the As
sembly districts in the State at large.
The anti-Tilden leaders declare that,
should such a plan be adopted, they will
be perfectly contented to abide the re
sult, and, if Mr. Tilden should.receive
vvesteni^nf^a delegation from New York,
’one offering; tch a plan, they would sup-
por??^i£2» 4 -M ; the Presidency. Leading
men of the Tilden faction claim that they
are willing to submit the matter to Gov
ernor Seymour, and pledge themselves
to abide by his decision. It is claimed
that Mr. Seymour will unhesitatingly
consent to serve in the capacity of
arbiter.
The same correspondent, in a recent
conversation with Governor Seymour,
says the latter’s attention was called to
the fact that since the recent election
public opinion has seemed again to be
turned toward him as the man of all
men who could lead his party to victory
in the next Presidential contest, where
upon Governor Seymour reiterated in
the strongest and most emphatic terms
his firm decision not to consent, under
any circumstances, to become the Presi
dential candidate. When asked if he
would not consent to accept the nomina
tion, even to save the Democratic party,
he said that there were plenty of able and
available candidates. But of one thing
he was certain: factional strifes must
cease and the party become united, or it
could dot hope for success.
Hurrah forking Grant!—At Coun
oil Bluffs, we read, General Grant and
party were met by Governor Gear, and
the Grand Army was then and there
offered as an escort across the State,
which was accepted by the General. An
enthusiastic German present, forgetting
where he was, proposed three cheers for
the American King. It is not stated
whether the cheers were given or not, or
whether any holy or unholy oil was used
on this occasion, but the forgetfulness is
suggestive. A correspondent of the
Hartford Times suggests that this Ger
man* should be appointed armor bearer to
His Majesty—to ride the King’s mule
and blow the trumpet.
France, England and Germany are still
pouring their gold and silver into this
country, at the rate of six or eight million
dollars a week. Three millions in gold
left Havre a few days ago. France has
been an extensive purchaser of a great
variety of supplies from this country, and
her remittances are in gold. This con
stant, steady influx of gold and silver
into the United States for a year has had
its inevitable effect in reviving business,
and with it, prices, and much speculation.
It is very safe to assume that Grant,
so long as the Presidential situation re
mains as at present,will not identify him
self with the Nicaraguan canal scheme,
whether the Rothschilds are backing the
enterprise or not. “The Man of Destiny”
will not confine his ambition to superin
tending the digging of a canal, until the
welcome cry, “The American King,”
peases to tickle his ears.
General Hancock and the Execution
of Mrs. Surratt.
The mention of General Hancock’s
name in connection with the Democratic
Presidential nomination has led, as his
friends supposed it would, to spiteful
outcroppings over the hanging of Mrs.
Surratt, an affair which his official po
sition just after the war compelled him
to direct. A few days ago, m the India
napolis Journal, an interview was print
ed about General Hancock, wherein a
Catholic priest was represented as say
ing: “General Hancock hanged Mrs.
Surratt without cause and persecuted her
for her religion. If Hancock should
arise and have the impudence to ask for
Catholic votes, they would bury him
under their indignation.” Rev. Father
Walter, of St Patrick’s Church, Wash
ington, who was Mrs. Surratt’s adviser,
says in an interview: “This isn’t the
first of these flings at General Hancock.
I have blamed myself often for not de
claring the truth in the matter. Yet,being
a priest, I have felt bound to hold my
peace. Besides, so far no tangible
harm has resulted from silence. For
some weeks back, though I have seen
that circumstances might arise which
should change my determination. This
attack seems to me to call for the
kind of response that will make such ob
jections to General Hancock impossible
in the future. I attended Mrs. Surratt on
the occasion of her execution, and met
with no interference on the part of Gen.
Hancock. General Hancock had great
sympathy for this unfortunate lady and
waited till the last moment, hoping for a
reprieve.” It further appears from offi
cial papers m the War Department that
so strong was General Hancock’s hope
for a reprieve for Mrs. Surratt, that on the
day of the execution he stationed relays
of cavalry along the streets from the
White House to the Arsenal, that no de
lay might ensue in communicating the
fact
Royal Style in Washington.
It seems only yesterday that poor
Landaulet Williams was absolutely
ruined, politically and personally, for
venturing to drive a modest coupe at
public expense; but in these days of buy
ing whole States with taxpayers’ money
there is not so much said about public
expenditure for private benefit as there
used to be. A Washington letter dis
closes that the Post Office Department
has whole stablefuls of gorgeous turnouts
for the benefit of the officers, clerks, and
understrappers connected with that de
partment Not one of them turns out
with less than a two-horse coupe, and
most of them have a liveried driver,
the latter of course a clerk, or
porter, or janitor, or something to draw
government pay—as all Washington does
—directly or indirectly. The War De
partment is now building extensive sta
bles for the keeping of officers’ and de
partment horses. The party in power
uses the people’s money as if it were
private property. There is no limit to
extravagance and expenditure for per
sonal gratification. It is so everywhere
at home and so everywhere abroad,
where our Ministers and Consuls travel
about m royal style at the public expense.
How long will this last? How long can
it continue? This is one of the ques
tions the people must answer next No
vember.
Eat Salt Oysters.
Dr. George W. Lawrence, of Hot
Springs, Arkansas, urges consumptives,
asthmatics and all persons suffering with
bronchial and pulmonary ills to eat raw
oysters. He states that salt oysters, es
pecially when raw, or fresh direct from
the surely excite the secretory
functions of the mucus follicles belong
ing to the whole respiratory track, and
tends to relieve irritative action. The
delicate bivalves that contain the great
est amount of phosphates and saline
properties blended are most active in
awakening the secretions. Good salt
oysters may be obtained along the
margin of the Western. Atlantic coast,
from New York, Delaware and
Galveston bays. In a low state
of vitality, when the lungs are threat
ened, formative neoplastic deposits—tu
bercles from engorged mucus and paren
chymatous structure — when “phthisis
pulmonalis” is portending, the agreeable
“valvular busks” are prompt in nutrition
and desirable food. As a regimen, oys
ters supply material for brain and nerve
matter, and are good diet for those suf
fering with nervous affections. Some
temperaments are much more suscepti
ble to the stimulus or impress than oth
ers, and muco-laryngeal, muco-tracheai
and muco-bronchial secretions are soon
aroused after free indulgence in eat-
iDg oysters. Statistics, he thinks, will
support the statement that the mortality
from consumption is less in the percent
age in proportion to the population in
cities where salt oysters are abundant and
freely used.
* Redaction of Pilot Fees.
The proposition is now being consid
ered by the New York Chamber of Com
merce to enforce a reduction in the fees
of the pilots at that port, and the pilots
have said that they are willing to reduce
their fees to a certain extent, in the inter
ests of our declining American shipping,
which, once second only to that of Great
Britain, now occupies no higher than the
fifth rank. It was stated in a meeting,
held on the subject in the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce, that the pilotage
fees collected on outward and inward
vessels, via Sandy Hook, in 1873.
was $855,040, paying each pilot
boat about $30,000 per annum
or $4,000 to $5,000 a year to
each pilot. The pilot fees for a Havana
steamer amount to $240 per month,
whereas the Captain of one of these
steamers is only paid $200 a month.
Thus the pilots get more for merely
bringing steamers in and out of harbor
than the Captain receives for making the
whole trip. The pilotage in 1879 for
small draft vessels is $3 70 per foot,
against $2 44 in 1854, an advance of 56
per cent. It is asked that pilot charges
be reduced again to the rates of 1854; but
the representatives of the association say
that this is too much. The steamship
owners say that they are so heavily bur-
thened by New York pilot fees that, they
think of removing the business to other
ports, while some of them have resolved
to set up a steam pilot boat of their own.
The
to
In an interview, Hon. J. O. Brodhead,
of St. Louis, says he considers New
York safe for the Democrats, providing
every one having pretensions as a Demo
crat behaves himself. Mr. Tilden, Col.
Brodhead believes, would split the party
in nearly every State, whereas Mr. Bay
ard c r General Hancock would command
a united vote. On the other hand, he
thinks the Republicans could do no
worse for themselves than by nomi
nating General Grant, for with a good
man against him the Democrats would
secure not only New York hut also
Ohio. His belief upon Ohio is based
upon the fact that the Germans are al
most unanimously anti-Grant.
The reader can make his own com
ments on the following letter, written by
the Secretary of the Treasury to Silas B.
Dutcher, Appraiser of the New York
custom house, during the late canvass in
that State:
“Sir—Your application for leave of
absence is hereby granted. I cordially
approve of your taking part in the Cor
nell and Hoskins campaign, and will do
all in my power to favor their election.
I have no objections to the government
employes making contributions to the
fund. Your suggestion that I should
take part in the campaign by speaking in
several of the prominent cities in your
State I will answer at some future time.
Yours respectfully,
■ f 3pas Sherman.”
Third Term—Grant Urged
Declare Himself.
A Washington special to the Chicago
Tribune says the managers of the Grant
boom in Washington and Philadelphia
have before them for consideration a new
phase of the political situation that is
not exactly pleasing. They are begin
ning to fear thflt Grant’s continued reti
cence and evasion upon the subject of
the next Presidency may cause misappre
hension in the minds of the Republicans.
The Republicans who are not particular
admirers of Grant are taking advantage
of his indifference to nomination to
make combinations with Sherman,Blaine
and others of the leading Republicans
who will be eager contestants for the
nomination. It is also believed by the
said Grant managers that the time for
passiveness is passed. John Sherman’s
active campaign for himself has stimu
lated this l>elief, A long letter has been
written to Grant upon the subject by one
of the managers in Washington, in
which the advisability of frankly ad
mitting himself to be a candidate is ad
vised, if he really hopes for anything in
that direction. The call of the National
Republican Committee, summoned here
for the 17th of next month, will pro
voke a very interesting contest. The
Grant people deem it especially import
ant to secure the Chairmanship of this
committee. Sherman and Blaine will
contest for control of this place, and in
the result first blood in the coming cam
paign will be declared.
The Litchfield Enquirer (Ind. Rep.),
in the course of a review of the political
situation, says: “There is probably a
larger Independent Republican element
in Massachusetts than in any other State.
In a contest between Grant and Bayard,
or Blaine and Bayard, could the Repub
licans count with certainty on the electo
ral vote of Massachusetts? We judge
not.” As to Connecticut, the Enquirer
admits that “it must not be set down as
certain that the State will go Republican
on the popular vote in 1880.” Of New
York, it says that “a nomination for the
Presidency in 1880 as objectionable to
reform Republicans as that of Cornell
has proved in 1879 would inevitably give
the State to a united Democracy. *
The nomination of Grant for the Presi
dency would mean precisely what the
nomination of Cornell meant at the last
election, a Republican repudiation of re
form and the national platform of 1876.”
Of the Democratic Presidential field, the
Enquirer says: “Senator Bayard, of
Delaware, seems now to have a decided
lead over all the other Democratic candi
dates for the nomination of 1880. *
Everything just now points to Bayard as
the best man the Democracy can put up
in 1880.”

REPORT OF THE BRITISH INVESTIGATION INTO
THE CHAMPION DISASTER.
Philadelphia, November 18.—The mem
bers of tbe British court of inquiry, investi
gating the collision of tbe ship Lady Oc
tavia with the steamer Champion, visited
Cramp’s shipyard to-day and made a per
sonal examination of tbe ruptures done to
the Lady Octavia’s bow. John W. Lynn,
who has been master ship builder for thirty
years, and who had examined the bows of
the Lady Octavia, was examined. The
court then retired, and after a lengthy de
liberation reappeared with the following
decision, which was read to the officers and
crews: “This court, after a four days’
exhaustive examination of Captain John
son, David Ferguson, chief officer, David
Hunter, boatswain, Anders Anderson,helms
man, Peter Yassovitch, man on the lookout,
and Wm. McCourt, apprentice, all belong
ing to the Lady Octaviu, of Greenock, who
were subjected to a strict and protracted
cross examination as to their conduct and
that of the rest of the crew before, at the
time of, and after the fatal collision between
the steamship Champion, of New York, and
said ship Lady Octavia, on the morning of
November 7th, find:
First. That the ship Lady Octavia was
complete in everything appertaining to her
regulation lights, her life saving boats, her
rigging, and general discipline on board.
Second. That it was readily perceived by
the officers in charge of the Lady Octavia
that the lights sighted in the distance were
the lights of the steamer, and that the Lady
Octavia wa6 entitled to the right of way.
That she was justified in keeping on her
course,sailing about three and one-half knots
an hour, and that there was no time for the
officer In charge of the deck to stop the
speed of the 6bip after it was apparent to
him that a collision was inevitable.
Third. That after visiting the ship Lady
Octavia and the examination of the damages
to that ship, the court is convinced that the
steamer Champion struck the Lady Octavia
ou the port bow, it being, from the nature
of the damage to the Lady Octavia, abso
lutely impossible to have been otherwise.
Fourth. That all the watch on said ship
on the morning of the fatal collision were
on deck, ready for any duty. The chief
officer was at his post, and a man on the
lookout on the forecastle head.
Fifth. That the conduct of the officers and
crew of the said ship after the collision was
prompt and effective in the saving of human
life.
Sixth. That it was impossible for the offi
cers of the Lady Octavia to avoid the colli
sion ; that their conduct mujer the circum
stances was proper. They are pronounced
entirely blameless, and their certificates are
hereby returned to them. This court re
grets the absence of testimony on the part
of the officers and survivors o’f the steamer
Champion, who were Invited here to tes
tify ; that the ship, however, was not
sailing under the British flag, and this court
has no authority over Its officers. It does
not take upon itself, in the absence of their
testimony, the responsibility of criticising
or coademning. Those officers are respon
sible to their own government and to their
own consciences. It is sufficient for the
purposes of this inquiry to declare that the
officers and crew of the ship over which we
have jurisdiction! performed their duty in
telligently and promptly, were not guilty of
any negligence or default, and are in no
manner responsible for the casualty.
This court would call special attention to
the fact that the water-tight bulkheads of
the Lady Octavia alone saved her from going
down. It is also to be remarked that the
life raft of the steamer was the means of
saving a number of lives. Secretary Sher
wood, of the board, then returne4 the cer
tificates to the Captain and first and second
mate, and the court adjourned,
REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES TREASURER,
Washington, November 18.—The report
of United States Treasurer Gllflllan, made
public to day, speaks of the fiscal year just
ended as one characterized by great trans
actions in connection with the refunding of
war loans, and with the resumption of
specie payments after a suspension of seven
teen years. The report shows the aggre
gate of gold coin and bullion and silver
coin and bullion, including standard
silver dollars, ‘in the Treasury has
increased from $61,452,000 in 1876
to $114,464,000 in 1877, to $163,969,000 in
1878, and to $222,807,000 In 1879. The de
crease in the aggregate note assets, includ
ing credits in depository banks on other
than loan account, has decreased from
$98,419,000 in 1876 to $88,772,000 in'1878,
and to $59,699,000 in 1879. The most con
stant influence in the decrease of the note
balance is that which preceded the purchase
of silver bullion for coinage.
Since resumption, the Treasury has been
deprived by receipt of coin paid for bullion,
of United States notes amquntlng probably
to 7 Ppr cent, of the annual reyenues.
This per ceptage is greater than the margin
between public receipts and expen
ditures, ana £apart (rom other Influences, it
would In time render tbp balance in the
Treasury first exclusively metallic and then
exclusively silver. This decrease of notes
in the Treasury will continue until the limi
tation or cessation of the present silver dol
lar coinage. Silver bullion on hand has
decreased during the year from $9,634,000
to $4,299,000.
Tbe statement of tbe assets and liabilities
of the government on October 31st, 1879,
shows the following aggregates: Assets,
$274,867,574; liabilities, $123,820,530. The
amount available for resumption, $151,047,-
044. At the close of the fiscal year, 1879,
tbe aggregate amount of United States
notes in circulation was $346,681,000. Of
such notes of all denominations there were
redeemed during the year $64,107,000. The
total coinage of standard silver dollars is
$45,206,000, of which amount $32,203,000are
in tbe mints and treasury offices, and $13,-
003,000 in circulation, the latter Ibeing 28%
per cent, of the total coinage, as against
26 9-10 per cent, of the total coinage in cir
culation at the same date last year.
Treasurer Gllflllan says the rapid appreci
ation of silver bids fair to solve the silver
problem for this country, and expresses the
opinion that if present influences continue
in operation, silver may recover nearly Its
former relation to gold. Accompanying
the report are statements of the Assistant
Treasurer at Boston apd New York shoeing
the transactions of their respective offices.
RUSSIA’S RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND,
London, November 18.—A Berlin dispatch

whole of the 8t. Petersburg press is violent
in its tone on the question. 7 *

EXPORT OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.
Washington, November 18.—The report
of the Postmaster General, made public to

Poet Office Department for the fiscal year
ending June 30,1879, were $90,042,000, and
the total expenditures $33,449,000, an excess
of expenditures over receipts of $3,407,000.
The expenditures were $801,209 less than

almost monopolized by Great Britain.

FURTHER FROM THE KELLOGG-3POFFORD
CASE.
New Orleans, November 18.—Bernard
Williams, a Polish Jew, testified he was em
ployed by Jim Lewis, Naval Officer at New
Orleans, to go to Washington in the interest
of Kellogg, and that the latter then
sent him to the depot to intercept
Spofford’B witnesses and bring them to his
(Kellogg’s) room. He did so, and Kellogg
tried to induce them to deny the truth o;:
their affidavits and testify for him insteadoi'
Spofford. They, at first refused, but finally
consented, Kellogg promising them five
hundred dollars each and places in the
custom house. These men were Delacey,
Blackstone, Johnson, and two others whose
names the witness could not remember.
Upon cross-examination the fact was elici
ted that witness had been arrested several
times for misdemeanor, and that he had
told several persons this story before. He
had asked some time ago tor a place is the
custom house. If he bad gotten it he would
not have left the city. He saw Kellogg
yesterday and promised not to come before
the committee, but after hiding all day the
Sergeant-at-Arms found him and brought
him in.
Before adjournment, Kellogg, by permis
sion, made a statement to tbe effect that he
should ask the committee to give him an
early opportunity to disprove the testimony
of this witness. If unable to meet the case
as fully as he desired, he should ask the
Senate, as soon as it convened, to institute
a thorough and complete investigation.
The Chairman stated in reply that every
opportunity would be given Senator Kellogg
to produce testimony in rebuttal.

amination of tbe charges against Ambrose,

desiring to make a full investigation.
THE EGYPTIAN DEBT.
Alexandria, November 18 —The Moni

tions respecting the Egyptian debt give
them absolute control. The proceeds of
the Rothschilds’ loan will be applied exclu
sively to the liquidation of the floating debt.

Preservation of Dead Bodies.
Mr. Kreisman, United States Consul
General at Berlin, in his dispatch to
the Department of State, dated Octo
ber 30,1879, communicates a description
of a newly discovered process for the
preservation of dead bodies. The in
ventor, or discoverer, had secured a pat
ent for the process, but the German Gov
ernment, conceiving a high importance
of the invention, induced the patentee to
abandon his patent. Thereupon the gov
ernment made public, through the press,
a full description of the process, as set
forth in letters patent. The following
abstracts are translated from the “Publi
cation by the Prussian Minister of Pub
lic Worship,” taken from the German
newspapers, dated at Berlin, October 33,
1879: “The dead bodies qfhumpn beings
and animals by this process fully retail)
their form, color and flexibility. Even
after a period of years sqch dead bodies
may be dissected for purposes of science
and criminal jurisprudence; decay and
the offensive smell of decay are com
pletely prevented. Upon incision, the
muscular flesh shows the same appear
ance as in the case of a fresh dead body.
Preparations made of the several parts,
such as natural skeletons, lungs, entrails,
etc., retain their softness and pliability.
The liquid used is prepared as follows:
In 3.000 grammes of boiling water are
dissolved 100 grammes of alum, 23
grammes of cooking salt, 12 grammes
saltpetre, 60 grammes potash, and 10
grammes arsenic acid. The solution is
then allowed to cool and Alter. To 10
litres of this neutral, colorless, orderiess
liquid, 4 litres glycerine and 1 litre met-
trylic alcohol are to be added. The pro
cess of preserving (or embalming) dead
bodies by means of this liquid consists
as a rule in saturating and impregnating
those bodies with it. From 3) to 5 litres
of the liquid are used fora body, accord
ing to its size.”
Two young men and two boys were
together in a room in Bristol, N, H.,
Sunday, when Orville Haynes, nineteen
years old, pointed a cocked revolver at
the others. He was told to stop, as the
revolver was* loaded. Laughingly he
pointed it at his own beta, when the
revolver was discharged, killing him in
stantly.
Mr. Geo. C. Gorham, lately the Secre
tary of the United States Senate, has
been appointed the Washington corres
pondent of the San Francisco Chronicle
at a salary of (5,000 per annum.
Tbe War Between the Telerraphle
Companies.
A Hew Tork telegram makes this an
nouncement:
It is stated that the American Union
Telegraph Company are about to apply
to the Supreme Court of this. State few
an Injunction to prohibit farther annoy
ance by the Western Union Company In
the building of lines by the former com
pany.
The annoyances here referred to, says
the Hartford Timet, consist in the de
struction of the line of the new company,
as fast as it is built and rebuilt, by cut
ting down the poles. It is said the dam
age is done chiefly in He w Jersey, though
there are complaints of some sort of back
action in Fairfield county, Connecticut,
and in other places. What the proof
consists in, for the accusation of the
Western Union, we do not know. It is
certainly bad policy to resist a rival by
such methods as the new telegraph com
pany complains of, and, for aught we
know, the older company may not be the
guilty party. We. do not believe the
managers of the Western Union would do
anything Wrong. It is one of the cer
tainties, we suppose, that the telegraph
business of this country cannot always be
in the hands of a monopoly; there mil he
competition, and it is best for all sides
that the competition should be fairly met
by the legitimate methods.

A LARGE indebtedness, which owing to the I
embarrassments of the times, they are
unable to meet, compels them to call on their
friends for assistance. The present pressing
need is but a consequence of past efforts made
to maintain orphans unaided; to open an hoe-1
pital and provide for the poor and the sick,
without sufficient assistance, and the exten
sion of their institute in the cause of our holy
religion, and for the benefit of the youth J
throughout tbe dioceee.
Tbe principal source of income being from
the schools conducted by them, now proves
inadequate to the exigencies of tbe times. This
being the first personal appeal made by the
