The Sunken Steamer Champion The Report of dipt. Lockwood. 10m the Now YorY-Suu of Tuesday Yesterday Capt. Lockwood, of the M. DWlNGtX, Proprietor. Saturday Morning,: : : Nov. 15,1879 The Democrats elected their candi date for Congress in the Fourth New York District. The election wus to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Hon. Mr. Smith, a Republican, who was elected last year and died, we believe, on the night of the election. This will add one more to the strength of the Democrats in the House. Bchauged.if we know where we stand except in the “bloody Seventh” District, on the Independent lino and for old Felton, popularly known as * * * etc.—Cartersville Free Press. TnE Free Press need not have trou bled itself to publish the foregoing, as every reader of that paper wascompell- el to know that Feltonwas all it knew. Doing for Felton and working for Fel ton, its mission is accomplished. The election in New York occurred on Tuesday the 4th. Nearly two weeks after it is declared that all the Radical candidates are elected, except for the office of State engineer, to which Mr Seymour, Democrat, is elected. The New York Herald said several days ago that the returns from the rural districts were kept back too long to mean any good, but on the contrary the Herald thought they were retained for a fraudulent purpose. It will be remembered that the result in Pennsylvania where the election wsb held the same day was known a few hour^ after the election. Well, in Penn sylvania they have a neater way of do ing it. They put the fraudulent votes in a box and count them out, henco the Radicals on the inside know the result at once—in fact they know it before election day. In New York they had to put in enough to t change the result as it stood Tuesday night. We suppose Mr. Seymour was allowed to hold his place out of respect to the wishes of his uncle, Mr. Gonkling. Gen. Grant received a rousing wel come at Chicago last Wednesday. He made a speech of considerable length for him, in which ho spoko kindly of all sections of the country without flaunting the bloody shirt at all. There were over a hundred thousand people present. Many speeches were made, and congratulatory telegrams read. The Daily News having invited the Govern ors of States and prominent Southern men to Bend in its care congratulations on Grant's return, has received a number of such congratulations, including one from Hon, Alex. H. Stephens, another from Gen. James Longstreet, and the following from Hon. Robert Toombs: Atlanta, Ga., Nov., 12.—M. E. Stone, Editor: Your telegram received. I de cline to answer, except to say, present 'my personal congratulations to Gen. Grant on his safe arrival to his country, lie fought for his country honorably and won. I fought for mine and lost. I am ready to try it over again. Death to the Union! R. Toombs. It is said that Gen. Toombs declares his dispatch garbled. Time and again have we asked Dr Felton to publish his correspondence of last year with Ferry and other prom! nent Radicals, and time and again has the Cartersville Freo Press taken up the matter as its own, and said “we” do so and so, and "wo” have dono so and so. Unless we are mistaken or the Free Press sails under false colors there is evidently a case of mistaken or misun derstood identity somewhere about the Free Press office. Dr. Felton’s name does not appear as in any way connect ed with the paper, yet the "wo” tha 1 al ways speaks out through the Free Press when Felton is squeezed for an answer responds as though th* answer was com ing from the right quarter. It may be that in the dim and distant past some Buttercup in real lifo “got them babies mixed >> an d that the editor of the Freo PreBS is me real Congressman and Fel ton the proper man to run a Felton pa per. If this should bo true wo would be glad, for it would please us much to swap Felton as a member of Congress for the editor of the Free Press. But, may be “they was twins." A crazy telegraph operator at Torch, Ohio, at the close of a night’s debauch on Sunday last, jumped upon a locomo tive which was attached to four coal hoppers, and started at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. Ho ran down the road about five miles when bo met the passenger train coming West. Into that he ran at full speed, wrecking both locomotives and throw ing them, with the baggage car, off the track. The passenger cars fortunately kept the track, and no one was injured. The engineer and fireman of the pas senger train both jumped off the engine when they wore almost together, and escaped serious injury. The lunatic was found lying upon liis back in the wreok, Bomewhat injured, but not se riously. Charleston steamer Champion, called at the office of the local inspectors of steamboats and expressed his readiness to mako his official report of tho colli sion with the ship Lady Octavia, by which his vessel was lost. He was told that the district in which tho accident happened was under the supervision of the Philadelphia board, and that tboy would receive his report and conduct the investigation that must naturally follow. Tho captain accepted tho offer of Mr. It. MoMichael, clerk of the New York board, who said he would draw up tho report in proper form and for ward it to Philadelphia. Capt. Lockwood brought with him Second Officer Miller, Chief Engineer Wesley Reeve, and First Assistant En gineer C. E. Bunce. They listened to the Captain’s narrativo, and corrected it in those points about which they were better informed than he. Tho report which all four signed is merely the offi cial notification of the los3 of the ship. Upon it tho Philadelphia Board of In spectors will base their investigation. After they place the blame for the ool- lisiou wherever it belongs, the actions for damages on tho side or the other will probably bo brought. Tne owners of tho Champion may sue the owners of the Lady Octavia, or vice versa. The report was as follows: New YonK, November 10, 1879. To tho United States Local Inspectors, Philadelphia, Pa.: Gentlemen—We left New York on ThuiBday, November 0, 1879, at 5 p. m., bound for Charleston, 8. C., with the sioamship Champion, stauneh, and with everything in good condition. Proceed ed down the bay in a thick mist of rain, so much so that I concluded to come to anchor, I proceeded down at a slow rate of speed, and had my Anchors cleared, but did not anchor. The weath er cleared so that we saw the lights on Staten Island leading through the Swash channel. We then proceeded on our voyage, and at 10.20 p. m., Barnegat bore west. The course then was S. 8. W. by com pass, and we proceeded on our voyago until 3 a. m. We then chauged our oourse to S. S. W. half west by compass. At that time I was talking with the first officer, who was on watch, and at about the same time I lay down. At about eight or ten minutes after 3 o’clock, November 7,1 heard a man re port a sail ahead. I jumped in the pi lot house and stopped the ship. This sail then bore nearly ahead, not over 50 or 100 yards distant, and proved to be the British ship Lady Octavia. She struck us on the starboard bow, staving in the whole bow nearly to the foremast, and sinking our steamer in about three minutes. I rang to back just as she struck us, and the engine was working back from the moment of the collision until the water gained on us and put our fires out. As the time of collision I left the pilot house and sent the first officer, Mr. R. H. Leonard, forward to see if the steamer was making water, which was the last 1 saw of him. I saw the steamer sinking so rapidly that I called to the second officer, Mr. Charles Miller, to go aft and clear away tho boats. 1 found the steamer sinking so rapidly I ordered him to cut the boats away, and I ran in the cabin and notified my passengers to get out as soon ns possible, and not to stop to dress. I then directed Mr. Miller to cut the life raft adrift, and threw life pre servers around the deck myself. The steamer went down .in about fourteen fathoms, with the Delaware lightship bearing W. S. W. fifteen or sixteen miles, leaving the main topmast about two feet above water. A portion of my passengers and crew floated away from the wreok on lifo preservers and wreck age. There were three boats cut away, and a few were picked up in them. Nine persons were picked up by the boats from the ship Lady Octavia, and fifteen were saved by our boats and life raft. We were all taken aboard the Lady Octavia. Six persons were trans ferred to a passing vessel, and the rest (eighteen) were landed at Philadelphia by tho Lady Octavia, and proceeded to New York by train. Tho weather was clear at the time of the collision—starlight—and the sea was smooth. By this collision there were some thirty lives lost, viz,, twelve passengers and eighteen of the crew The amount of damage to the steamer and cargo I am unablo to give. I had a lookout set forward in tho bow of the ship when I left the deck. Very respectfully, R. W. Lockwood, Master lato Steamship Champion. Thirty-three souls that were on board the Champion have not been heard from since the collision. Their names are as follows: Mrs A O Andrews, Charleston, S C; Miss Mary Mikell, Mrs Andrews daugh ter, W W Clark, II Iluxtable, Mrs H Huxtable, Boston; Wm Peels, Charles Steffany, Brookly n; Rosa Barbary, steerage; P Patten, Kate Thrackey and an infant, steerage; John Allen, mess- boy; J F Anderson, seaman; F Budd, oiler; Wm Curtin, Btoker; C Foborg, second assistant engineer, Brooklyn; C E Stiles, carpenter; F Gorigan, stoker; D S Girardeau, colored baker; P Hahn, seaman; R II Leonard, first officer, Brooklyn; J R Moffet, purser, Charles, ton; A Middleton, messman; A Mishaw,' pantryman; John Nelson, seatnan; A F Potts, oiler; Frank Patit, fireman; J Richardson, second cook; Peter Smalls, Steward; M Savage, fireman. An Interesting Story. '.Swaiusboro Herald: In Georgia wo have a set who resemble John Kelly atid his mob, calling themselves inde pendents, who arc striving hard to bring forth a tiokot in this state in 1880 when they know there is no ohance of success. The only hope they havo is to split the democratic vote of tho state and leave the field in u ccnditon to be easily cap tured by the radicals, who are bound to put a ticket into the field as Boon as the democrats and independents both get their tickets arranged. What would be tho result ? Both democrats and in dependents would be defeated, and that thieving gang of radicals that were so hard to dethrone will again take control of the ship of stato, and the prosperity that is now dawning will vanish before the four winds of the earth, and that army of vagabond carpet baggers again march into Georgia and by the assitauce of the independents will be bo deeply rooted that many long years will bo re quired to again banish them from the state. Profitable Stock Investments, It is learned that the Senate commit tee which went to Rhode Island last summer to investigate political manage ment in that State will have a very racy and interesting report to submit to the Senate. A member of the committee says that he never dreamed of suoh cor ruption in politics as was disclosed, and that money was the important factor in all the elections in Rhode Island. Federal officials were proved to be ac tive agents in the corrupt manipulation of votes, and the Providence post-office was found to be an institution as far apart in its management from any pre- ception of a proper civil service as are the antipodes. Some of the Michigan people are ex iting themselve over what they call the "discovery” that the whole peninsula which contains that Statals afloat on an underground sea, of which surrounding lakes are the visible portions. In proof of this extraordinary theory it is held that unfathomable lakes abound in all parts of Michigan witli inlets, but without any perceptible outlet; that strange fishes have been imported to stock some of these lakes, and have shortly been found in others; and that some lakes have sprung-aleak and are disappearing, as if the bottom had drop ped out. Absurd theories seem to be relished thereaway. When Vice-President Wheeler read the telegram which baid: “Hayes dic'd here to-day,” he put his hands under his coat-tails, elevated his chin, and remark ed : “I guess I’ll run this ’ere Govern ment for awhile now." But when the telegram was corrected and made to read “Hayes dined here to-day, Wheeler sat down in a corner and re marked, “I consider the reporter a blasted fool who’ll go telegraphing news all over the country every time old Rutherford Hayes eats a piece of pie.” There will bo found some very good reading in the letter below, from a Washington correspondent of tbs New York Graphic. It sounds-very much like the truth: “At one of tho mootings of the Na tional Republican Committee, at the time the electoral bill was pending, Mr- Chandler astonished everybody by sud denly offering his resignation as Chair man of the committee, stating as his reason that it had become very apparent to him that be was not enjoying tl e confidence of the Presidentelect, and he presumed Gov. Hayes would prefer to have some other person in whom he had full confidence to maaage his interests before to electoral commission. Gov. Hayes’ friands, figuratively speaking, got down upon their kuees and sought him to reconsider his determination, but Chandler was inflexible. They of fered him all that could be offered in Hayes’ name, position, patronage—any thing that ho could ask—if he would only continue-to manage th9 campaign. Finaliy, Chandler said he would with draw his resignation if certain conditions were complied with, and the assurances were given very readily. They were easy conditions, and involved no sacrl flee upon the part of President Hayes j or his friends. They were the most reasonable in the world, and fairly gen erous on Mr. Chandlor’s part. They were honorable, legitimate in every sense, and should have been voluntary on the part of the Ohio men. When these conditions were guaranteed, Mr. Chandler withdrew his resignation and went to work. Their fulfillment was to have been immediate, but days passed, months passed, Hayes was inaugurated, Mr. Chandler was kicked out of the Cabinet; his services were ignored, his counsels rejected, and to the day of his death those assurances which were sol emnly made him by the friends of President Hayes were never carried out. Their fulfillment was never even begun. Mr. Chandler felt this very keenly. I have heard him tell the story twice, have heard him name tho men whose broken promises were of the most re gretful of his long career, and his com ments upon their dishonorable conduct were very severe. From the time that he was relieved of his dutieB at the In terior Department by Secretary Schurz, until the 12th of November, 1878, Sen ator Chandler did not enter the White House. It was a period of eighteen months, and he was in Washington re peatedly during that time, but he did not call upon the President nor hold any communication with him. He would recommend no one to office, and he would say to people who sought his influence: ‘The President would not notice my wish if I should utter one. have no influence with the administra tion-’ “On the 12th of November, 1878, was quite astonished to see Mr. Chadler coming out of the White House grounds, I was not aware that he was in the city and had not heard that his feelings to ward the President had changed. He Bceforo Messrs. Lawrence & Co., the New York bankers, inaugurated the combination system of operating in stocks, it was often very difficult for in experienced operators, or even old stagers, to deal profitably by their single handed ventures. Now the field is open to every one for successful operations, and capital in any amounts, from 810 to 820,000, can be used with equal pro portionate profit. Instead of distract ing efforts among many customers, the orders of thousands are concentrated into one vast pool and co-operated for the benefit of all, dividing profits pro rata every mouth. A prominent citizen of San Francisco made 81,264.83 from an investment of 8300 last month. Other customers are doing better still. 825 pays 8125 during the month, 8200 return 81,200 or 6 percent, on thestock, and so on as the market moves. New circular contains “two unerring rules for success,” and full instructions for any one to operate profitably. All the advantages of unlimited capital and careful manipulation are secured by the combination method. Stocks and bonds wanted. Government bonds supplied. Deposits received.

New York, Nov. 13.—The Sun has received official returns form fifty of the sixty counties in the State. A close comparison between these and unoffi cial returns from the other ton counties indicates Hoskins, (Republican) for Lieut. Governor, has defeated Potter by about 1,100 majority. Carr, Republi can, for Secretary of State, is elected by nearly the same majority. Wadsworth, Republican, for Comptroller, will have an increased majority over that of Hoskins. Ward and Wendell, Repub licans, are elected as Attorney General and Treasurer. The majority for Hora tio Seymour, jr., Democrat, for Engin eer and Surveyor, will bo toward 10,- 000. The John Kelly vote has increas ed over previous estimates, and will reach 75,000. New York, Nov. 13.—An Albany special says the official returns from all but a few counties, show Hoskins’ ma jority to be 1,330; Carr’s to be about two thousand, and Wendell’s about three thousand. Philadelphia, Nov. 13.—Mrs. Mattie Potts, who has recently completed a walk from Philadelphia to New Orleans and return, attempted to commit sui cide last night by placing her head upon the railroad track. She was observed in time and her suicidal purpose .frus trated. Letters were found upon her addressed to the New York Herald, Bal timore American, Charlotte (N. C.) Ob server, Atlanta Constitution and New Orleans Times, stating, among other things, that poverty and failure to find employment led to the act. shook hands cordially with me as we met at the east gate, and I expressed some surprise at seeing him coming from the executive mansion. He jok ingly replied, and said: “ ‘Come over to my house and I’ll tell you something.’ “It was a cold, raw day, and he was well wrapped up. We went into his library, which was the front room of the basement in his house on H street, and after taking off his wraps he drew up a chair to the fire, and looking at mo iu'a peculiar earnest way that was chaiacteristic of him, he said: “ ‘You want to know, I suppose, why I was up there at the White House. I’ll tell you. I have been trying to stiffen the President’s backbone.’ “He said it very slowly, aud re peated : “ You needn’t publish it; I’m only telling you for your own guidanoe. Cairo down here to Washington—(I’m sick and wasn’t fit to come)—to stiffen —the—President’s—backbone.’ “Did you succeed? I asked. “Never you mind. You wait a while, my son, and then you go up and inter view Hayes. You ask him if he does not think the Southern policy is ployed out, and if he doesn’t think hanging rebels is better than giving them offices, Remember now,’ he continued, ‘you not to print anything about what say ; but I want to keep you posted, and before many days you’ll hear some thing drop. Hayes is a square man.’ “When did you find that out? I asked. “ ‘I found that out to-day. I beard that Hayes was sick of his sentimental- nor ism, and I came down hero to give him a tonic. 1 didn’t come for nothing, and now, my son, you mark these words.
