Upon the departure of the French Deputation from Dublin, the bands played American, Irish and French airs. The enthusiasm was iutense.

New York, August 28.—A jury wholly composed fo negroes wero cmpaunellcd In Flushing, Saturday, to try tho case of an Irishman charged with assault. Fat protested so vehemently against being tried by negroes wholly, that tho court took the responsibili ty of discharging tho jury and ordering a new panel. Tho French section of tho International Society of this city has resolved to accept the invitation of the Workingmen’s Union to take part in tho great de monstration on the 15th of September, provided tho section is allowed to carry tho red ting. Suits havo been commenced against tho Staten Is land Feiry Company for sums ranging from five to fifty thousand dollars. Tho Brit sh steamer Lnida is ashore on tho high lands near Yarmouth. She la a total loss. It is pro- bablo that the crew was saved. Kccordcr Hackett, in charging tho grand jury in tho Westfield case, said “a great example will bo set by holding the President and Directors of common f arriers responsible.” 3Ebe Ocean Yacht Itace from Sandy Hook has been ^postponed niitil October. Tbo Assistant Aldermen have concurred with the -Aldermen in directing tho Mayor to take steps for tho immediate recovery of ths old Brick Church property. At a meeting of tho Grand Jury to-day Recorder Hackett delivered a special charge upon the subject of the Westdeld holler explosion, The Judge pointed out tho provisions of tho law applicable to the case and tli > circumstances necossary to bo found to exist in oru x to reach tho President of the Company, the Superintendent and tho Engineer. Tho K-corder said: It Is too often the case that subordinates are mado scape-goals for erring officials who are over them and who aro more powerful in placo and means. If it is possiblb, on the facts and •law, tohold Presidents, directors, Ac., of Common 'Corritcw, responsible for accidents happening to pas sengers whoso lives and limbs they are bound to in sure against negligence, then a great and beneficial cxamplo would be set. These officials exact liberal commutations and fare. They .should he had to the utmost vlgiiance.” Ho concluded, saying ‘‘with a whole nation look ing at our judiciary action upon this great case, let us all glvo no room for after reproaches from any quarter 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 editor of The Atlanta Sun virtually asks us Hommekfest, Latitude 70 degrees, 40 minutes, I if we would support Alexander H.

We beg Mr. Stephens to mark that every Democratic journal of influence, standing -*-rt a e'i tx t -v -r e-'i m -a-r I or circulation, in the whole North, repudiates Ms VV A HI H I IV It ' i ( ) lx views.

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 ly to the voice of the Democracy of Indi ana last year, and of New Hampshire this year, and to the late “roar” of Kentucky. The Atlanta Sun construes the 40,000 Democratic majority in Kentucky as a verdict in favor of the Georgia firm of Toombs, Stephens & Co. What does Kentucky* think of this ? Is Kentucky willing to be tacked on to that wom-out coat-tail ?—Courier Journal. 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.

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.

We, of suit to test, for example, the validity of the fifteenth amendment? Mr. Stephens seems more interest ed than anybody; hut c-n lie bring a suit? Clearly not, for several sufficient reasons. In the first place, he has no catuo of personal complaint of which Federal Court could tako knowledge. In tho next place. If negro voting in Georgia wero an individual wrong to him, there is no party on whom he could serve notice as defendant. He cannot sue Congress he cannot sue the States that ratified tho amendment he cannot sue his ottn S '-.te of Georgia nor aay of its officers. No suit can be brought by anybody, nor will lio against anybody, for testing the validity of the fifteenth amendment.
