THE LOSS OF THE STEAMER “CLYDE.” It is with deep regret that we an nounce the loss of the Steamer Clyde, ii Sapelo Sbnnd, on Saturday last, June 2?lh. This Boat has been en gaged for the past winter in the trade between Darien and the landings of the river, and under the command of her courteous and efficient Captain, John L. Day, has been of great ser vice to both the merchants of Darien and their numerous customers. The upsetting of the boat, fr>m Capt. Day’s account published else where, seems to have been occasioned by one of those sudden sqnalls inci dent to this latitude at the present season. We cannot forbear just here a word of advice. The class of boats to which the Clyde belongs, are safe and well adapted to the up river route, but are not constiucfed to meet the dangers of the Sound navigation be tween here and Savannah. The ‘ Har dee" “Two Boys" and ‘‘Clyde" have all, within a few years past,, been lost between Savannah nad.this-place, the two latter by stress of weather. The rescue of the crew without loss of life from so great peril is as remarkable ns the catastrophe was sudden and unexpected. Captain Day, upon leaving for Sa vannah, after his shipwreck and re turn to Darien, requested ns to ac knowledge through cur columns, the kindness of which he had been the recipient at the hands of the citizens of Darien. It affords us pleasure to complywith his request, and to learn from ,his.statement that our good peo ple, as usual, have n. t been wanting in kind offices to the Captain and his crew in their misfortune. We trust soon to see him in com mand of anotLer noble boat plough ing the waters of She Altamaha. He enjoys the confidence of both mer chants and shippers, here and up the river. We sympatliize deeply with the Captain and his crew in their per sonal losses which were heavy, and with the owners of the boat, Messrs. Coles Siezer A Cos., of Augusta. We aie informed that the boat was valued at $15,000 and is a total loss, there being no insurance. CIVIL RIGHTS. Judge Locbrane writes a long let ter to tbo Atlanta Herald “defining bis position ' in reference to the Con gressional plum, and also to general politics. He says if there bad been no nomination by the Radicals in Grif fin “he would have run independent ly.” Of the so-called civil rights bill, bg says: The colored men can testify iu courts of justice. They can sit on ju ries; they can vote, they can bold real estate; they can receive every right and every prerogative of citizenship. The mistake, iu my bumble opinion, • which foolish legislators make is in attempting to do more. Tne civil rights bill is only a trap to catch the negroes in trouble. The men who ad vocate it are influenced by the same preiences of special guardianship over them, which is, in itself, an insult to : bis intelligence and asserts his supe riority by alleging the necessity of a law to make him equal. Equal to what and to whom? If he is already equal before the law (and be is), why ? To control his votes. Will the eter nal wrangle over his inferiority be kept up ? Surely ti e intelligent vo ter will see, sooner or later, that his interests are used as a football for political parties to kick, and his real equality before the law assert his manhood by repelling such continued treatment of him as a child. Bristow, of Kentucky, now Secretary of the Treasury, has refused to accept tbe offer of a pair of horses and a carriage, which a friend wished to present to him for the use of his wife, who is regarded as the most ladv-like and handsomest wo man out of Kentucky. tt , *S?-Hon. J. A. J. Cresweli, has re signed the Postmaster Generalship, and Hon. Engene Hale, Congressman from Maiucuippointed iu his place. U Henry Ward Beecher, the great Brooklyn preacher, ha 6 acknowledged guilt and atke Theodore Tilton to .'wgrve him. Another great aar baa fallen. PROHIBATOtY LEGISLATION. Tiie prohibitory legislation of the sale of liquors in sundry Northern md Eastern States, has proved, as was to be expected by all who have studied human nature, a miserable failure. An appetite which has its origin in the secret .; a■' ;s of th- hu man organization, v\ .refuel’ healthy or depraved, cannot be repressed by legis lative enactment*. As long as it ex ists, a way for its gratification will be i found. If the sale of liquors are pro hibited by law. it simply drives the votaries of drink to secret 1 vi'rt.s for the gratification of their longings, and actual experience demonstrates that an increase in drnukenness is the ‘re sult of the system. But while we condemn this probib atory legislation, as unwise and im practicable to say the least of it, we must at The same time, admit with sor row, that there is a wide spread and increasing tendency in the land, to the excessive use and abuse of ardent spirits. How to meet that tendency bv appropriate legislation with a due regard for the rights of the citizen and at the saim* time with the best re sults to society, i; the question to be solved. We do not presume to at tempt more in a newspaper article than to offer a few suggestions upon a subject, which is employing the devo ted attention of the ablest and purest thinkers in the country. These are briefly. Ist. The inauguration of a close and rigid system of inspection, ac companied by appropriate penalties, by which the sale of pur: liquors would to a great extent be insured, and that of bad liquors punished. To this suggestion no honest dealer will object and certainly not, the consumer. From time immemorial every civil zed government has esteemed it a solemn O duty, by the most rigid laws, to protetc the health of its citizens against the adulteration, of food. Everywhere, there is a rigid, inspection ot flour, meats and the prime articles of sus tenance for tr.au, accompanied by confiscation, where;er the article in question is fouud to contain any sub stance deleterious to human health or life. If statements from all sources are to be believed, the adulteration of food bears no relation either in quan tity or quality to that of liquor. The adulteration of the former is excep tional and with articles of doubtful effect upon the human system, while the adulteration of the latter is al most universal and made by deadly poisons, in the list of which, stand prominently forth, strychnine and arsenic. Both food and drink go the same way down the throats of men; poisons in each have the same effect upon the consumer —namely disease and death. If then inspection laws are necessary in one case, surely they are in the other. But the further ef- feet of a system of inspection, rigidly enforced, won’. J be to place the sale of liquors in a few responsible hands, and to diminish the consumption by increasing tbe price. It may be argued that there will be an evasion of the inspection law iu the same manner that there is now an evasion of the prohibatory law. We deny this. The same inducements will be wanting. In the latter, all classes of dealers and drinkers are banded together to de feat a law which they regard ns un constitutional and in violation of per sonal right. In the former, the dishon est dealer will stand alone as a class to violate the law while the honest deal er and the consumer will co-operate with the other elements of society to detect the poisoner and bring him to condign punishment. 2d. Tiie establishment of an Asy lum by the State for confirmed iuebri- j ates, aud the voluntary or enforced se clusion of drunkards therein until re- j formed. From all sources of informa-, tiou, these Asylums, wherever inaugu rated in other sections of the country, have been as productive of good as the prohibatory laws have been of evil. A large proportion of tbe pa tients treated iu them have recovered from their unfortunate malady, aud have been saved from a life of wretch edness and a dishonorable death. Strange too, as it may appear, there are many who would not fear to risk the chances of becoming drunkards upou the community, but who would be arrested in their downward career by the prospect of being sent to the Asylum. We submit to our readers that when the State has thus provided by legislation, as suggested, for the protection of its citizens against poisonous adulteration in drink, aud for the care and reformation of that unfortunate class, who are unable to control the appetite for drink, short of lunacy, that it has done all which can rightfully be expected, ami that the rest must, be left-to the moral influ ences of societv. AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA The first issue of the Atlanta D. ily .V ies—Col. A. St. Cl iir Abrams, edi tor—will come out on Sunday next, sth inst. We are anxious this new shtet, feeling confident that it will be one of the liveliest dailies in the South. All who wish to lake a real Jive paper should subscribe for the Daily News. Hon. A. H. Stephens Lins publ - .t and his sixth letter m reply to Hon. B. H. Hill. As Mr. Hill has wrote Lis la.-t letter we guess Mr. Stephens’ sixth article will be the winding up of this long correspou lence. Now the ques tion arises, “who was right ?” The papers of the fifth Congression al District, are “going for” the Radi cal candidate, Freeman, because he entertained a crowd of corn-field dar kies at his house, after l.e was nomi nated. Of course Mr. Frtemau don’t stand any chance for election. Gnffio is to have a bitv-s bin i, and then she will be placed on toe hnpp list. We notice that several of our ex changes are suspendingduiing the fourtii of July h Inlay.

Jackson, one of the editors of the Atlanta Constitution, has been married to Mis-, R ufore of At lanta. A young man in Atlauta said that he could uot serve as a juror because he was a British subject.
