ALABAMA.
to answer certain questions which seem to us a trilie
impertinent. It is not the habit of the editor of the
World, to sign all bis articles, as Mr. Stephens does,
with his own initials. The World would have to
descend very far below its own conception of
the dignity of its position to make itself tbo
o gan of the personal idiosyncrasies, or a
trumpet to sound forth the personal impor
tance, of any one man. The World claims to
be an organ of Democratic public opinion. It has a
wide intercourse with Northern Democratic states
men, and aims to express tho average sense of the
wisest and most sagacious members of the party.—
Its chief claim to consideration (apart from its mer
its as anewspaperjrestsupouitsrepresentative char
acter. Its editor never signs its editorials, as Mr.
Stephens always does, because be trusts that he has
too much sense aad modesty, and because he is too
truly aud sincerely a Democrat, to think the opinions
of any one citizen and voter of much public conse
quence. Intelligent people look into newspapers to
learn tho drift aud tendency of public opinion; and
the value and efficiency of an editor depend more
upon his political connections and representative
character than upon the peculiarities of his individ
ual views. The public cares nothing for what a monk
may thinkin his cell; and it values at about the stmc
rate what an egotist may choose to put forth with Ms
own signature. Thoughtful men read newspapers to
find what other people think, not to learn ths morbid
anatomy of some crotchety mind, which, not content
to rest its claims to attention on the value of its
facts and the force of its logic, thrusts forward its,
personality as if that wero of any real weight.
How Mr. Stephens or how “the chief editor of the
World” may vote in 1872, is of very slight conse
quence. Each of them is hut one of several millions
of Democratic voters. Nothing can bo more petty
and trivial, or more utterly irrelevant, than for edi
tors to catechise each other as to how they will act
in some future contingency. It ovinces a ridiculous
air of individual self-importance with wMch the
public has no sympathy.

The New York World says the “New
Departure” is the “key-note” of Demo
cratic success. What success did it meet
with in Connecticut .when it was first
sounded ? The loss of a Democratic
State. What success in the District of
Columbia? What success wherever it
has been sounded ? Has a single victory
ever yet followed its ‘ ‘blast ?” If tlie man
of the World wishes to learn the “key
note” of victory^ let him listen attentive

year, and to the late “roar” of Kentucky.

No such thing. The Sun construes
the “Kentucky Hoar” as a verdict in fa
vor of Democratic principles; and if the
Georgia firm of Toombs, Stephens & Co.
are gratified at it, following in the train,
should Kentucky think any less of it than
if she, with the C. J., had abandoned their
own principles, and wasjjnow herself fol

Mobile. August 28.—Tho low pressure steamer
Ocean Wave’s boiler exploded at 5)£ o’clock, on Sun
day afternoon, at tho Point Clear Wharf. There were
about two hundred excursionists on board. Fifty or
sixty killed aud wounded. A portion of the bodies
were brought to tho city by steamers Fountain, and
Annie last night. Others wUl be brought to-day.
Efforts are being made to recover tho bodies of the
drowned. The cause of the disaster has not yet
lveu ascertained. An investigation will soon be
had. A Crcolo family was on hoard, numbering seven
persons, of whom six were killed. The captain, en
gineer aud pilot were killed. Only threo officers es
caped.
Hater from the Disaster,
Tho Mobilo Beglstcr kindly furnishes tho follow
ing : The 6teamcr Ocean Wave left the city Sunday
morning with about two hundred persons on boiri
for an excursion to Fish river, about twenty miles
from tho city. On her return she Rtopped at Point
Clear, reacMng there about five o’clock in the after
noon. Tho beat was made fast aud tbe band and
part of the passengers went ashore. After remain
ing there half an hour the wMstlo was blown and
the passengers had just gotten aboard when the boil
er exploded with great force. Following a rumbl ! ng,
hissing sound, fragments of metal and timber flew
in every direction. The forward part of tho cabin
wa3 carried entirely away. ’Ihe chimney fell back
wards, toward the rear of tho boat, crushing the up
per cabin, and tho boat immediately sunk, with tho
bow submerged. About sixty or seventy persons
wero killed or injured by the explosion.
So far tho bodies of nineteen dead, eight ladies
among the number, have been recovered. Twenty -
eight wounded have been brought to the city and
one oi tho number, a little girl, has since died.
Tho scene was appallng, terrific and heart-rending.
Wilder scenes of grief are seldom witnessed. The
frantic cries of tho survivors, as they lamented for
lost wivts, children, parents and sisters, were ago
nizing to all who had human sympathies. Many of
the passengers were little children and many little
hats and bonnets came ashore to tell of the little vic
tims beneath tho waves.
Tho captain, William Eaton, swam for some time,
wito both legs broken. A boat reached Mm just too
late, and he wont down.
Two pilots wero killed, tho engineer and Ms wife
wero severely injured and all tho firemen were
killed.
It is impossible to correctly estimate the loss. By
somo it is supposed that at least tMrty or forty per
sons are still buried in the debris of the wreck, or in
the bottom of the bay. A diver has gone to the
scene of tho disaster.
The accident has ctst a gloom over tho whole city,
aud a universal sadness prevails. The streets are
crowded with people and the excitement and feeling
is intense.
The Ocean Wavo has for some tirno been consid
ered unsafe. The boat has always been an unlucky
one. A criminal responsibility rests somewhere*,
aud it should bo visited upon those to whose reck
lessness and Incapacity it is attributable.
The system of inspections everywhere is loose,
careless and reckless- The boiler was not so much
exploded as it was torn open with a long seam. It
was so rotten as to literally tear open. Had it been
stronger, so os to explode with greater violence, the
destruction would havo beeng-eater. The force of
the explosion was upward and forward.

many real, true Democrats of the old hue wish an k „- orW 21st Aug., 1871,
equally explicit answer: 1
“1. Will he support or vote for any man for Presi

amendments as the results of gross usurpations and 1 ° ° °
abuses of power, and go to the country upon this,
with other great living issues, between constitutional
ism and centralism, will he support the nominees?”
Mr. Stephens makes a plain enough intimation that
if the Democratic National Convention does not
adopt his views, he will not support its platform or
candidat es. We ask all Southern and all Northern
Democrats to take note of this avowal, and rate Mr.
Stephens’ fidelity to the party accordingly. He says,
in substance, that he would prefer toe re-election of ]
General Grant to the election of General McClellan,
