accuses Moore of faith
and unfair treatment of their associates,

OCEAN HORRORS.
Four Vessels Wrecked and
Many Lives Lost.
A cablegram of Thursday from London
says: A foreign steamer was wrecked off
Start Point, near Dartmouth, during the
blizzard. The crew and passengers were
drowned. The name of the steamer is
not known. The schooner Dunusdale
was also lost off Start Point. The cap¬
tain was saved, but four of the crew
were drowned. The schooner Lizzie El¬
len met her fate. Two of her crew were
drowned. From returns already in, and
which are not complete, it is known that
eighty lives were lest on account of
shipping disasters along the coast, Sev
eral vessels are missing. The British ship
Dryael, from Shields for Valparaiso, has
been wrecked off Start Point All All on on
board—twenty-four persons in all—were
drowned, including some passengers.
WHAT POLK THINKS
Of the Election of General Pal¬
mer to The Senate.
President Polk, of the National Far¬
mers’ Alliance, declined to express his
views on the election, in Illinois, of Gen¬
eral Palmer to the senate, and the posi¬
tion of the three alliancemen in the recent
contest in Illinois,’ further than to
say that it P ppeared to him the to
have been P democratic light between parties, rather
republican aud between those parties
than a contest two
and the alliance. The alliance, he thought,
had fought manfully for principles, and,
though they had not been victorious in
sending the farmers’ alliancemen to the
senate, he believed that Palmer’s election
would generally be regarded with more
favor than that of any of the other candi¬
dates.
NEWSPAPERS BOYCOTTED.
Their Presses Idle for Want of
Water to Run Them.
Tho Americus, Ga., Recorder and the
Americas Times publish a joint card an¬
nouncing the suspension of the publica¬
tion of their papers. This suspension b:
forced by the action of the water com¬
missioners of the city rai.-ing the water
rate 150 per cent, ref using to contract to
supply water for motors which run the
presses, even at the advance, and notify¬
ing the papers that the water wi 1 be cut
off at any momeut. Some days ago the
papers published the fact that, in order
to keep up the supply, the commissioners
were turning into the reservoir the town
creek, into which is emptied, just above
the waterworks, the drainage of the
filthiest portion of the city, hence tho
action of the commissioners.
Quite a Difference.
A ripple of excitement was caused in
the Arkansas assembly Thuisday morn¬
ing by the reading of the report that I rent
the auditor, in which he said an
error had been made in the computation
of figures in his report to the house some
days since. The corrected figures showed
that instead of the state resources being
$1,012,000, th y were only $740,000,?!

A dispatch from Memphis, Tenn., say»:
