H.ambkbo, May u. This city is
painfully agitated over the news
of tlie wreck of the steamer
Schiller, and tlie appalling loss
of life accompany the disaster.
The steamship company’s offices
have been thronged since the
receipt of the sad news by crowds of
persons inquiring after the welfare
of friends and relatives who took
passage in the ill-fated vessel. The
particulars of the disaster received
here thus far are meagre. Tiie hope
is general, however, that a greater
number than lias yet been reported
have been picked up by the Schiller
life boats, and that many reached
land in safety. The Schiller was
ably commanded and fully supplied
with life boats and life-saving appa
ratus. The dispatches from Ply
mouth indicate that she is breaking
up. Several of tlie Schiller’s passen
gers have relatives here, to whom
they were paying visits.

According to this list, forty-seven

The ITcraUl refers at length editori
ally to the wreck of the Schiller, and
says: The responsibility of this awful
ship wreck seems to rest with the
officers of the ship. There was no
storm which might have placed the
steamer at the mercy of the waves;
| there was simply a log and the dark
i ness of night. Conceding that none
of the lights eouifl have been seen,
! the fog bell at Bishop’s Rock should
have been heard. But even if the
ligiits could not bo seen- even if the
! fog bell of Bishop’s Rook could not
!be heard there was still one more
I chance for the unlucky ship. The
| British law accepts no excuse from
: captains whose vessels are wrecked
i upon this coast because of tides or
winds, ft holds that by constant and
careful sounding with the lead the
j experienced navigator cannot fail to
tell tlie dangerous proximity of his
vessel to the coast, and condemns the
captain who fails to use this precau
tion. We cannot yet tell whether
the captain of the Schiller did all
I that was possible to avoid this calam
ity. He is its victim, and it is but
just to judge him charitably till the
whole truth is known. But the
startling fact remains that in tran
quil weather, off the well known
I coast, of England, an A merican steam
ship was wrecked with hundreds of
I passengers on board. These passen- ]
I gers had trusted themselves to the
| skill of the officers and the good
faith of the steamship company.
I They are the victims of a terrible
blunder. It cannot be that an event
iso terrible and apparently so tirinee
' i-ssary shall bo overlooked as a mere
accident of nature. Neither storm,
: nor fire, nor collision with other ves
sels caused the destruction of the
Schiller She was lost upon a coast
| well known to experienced sailors;
upon no new rock, but upon ancient
reefs of irn memorable danger, and
somebody must be held to an awful
responsibility.

Nmv York, May 10. The following

morning at the office of Eagle lino:
! Plymouth, May 10th. Counsel Kuhn,
;N. Y. Only fifteen passengers were
[ saved from the Schiller, the names of j
whom were telegraphed you yester
day. We are doing all we can to re-
I cover and indentify bodies, signed
Trans-Atlantic. Numbers of persons j
continue to visit the Company's of
fice, several have telegraphed for the j
return of the bodies of their drown
ed friends to New York.
New York, May 10. -Oernmn Con
sul General Schumacher said last
evening Unit he had been besieged !
by relatives of the lost passengers of ■
tli" Schiller, who asked that the I
homes of the drowned should be re
covered and when identified should
bo either forwarded to friends in I
Germany or sent, here for interment. |
Considering the circumstances under
i which the steamer was wrecked, he '
jsays this will be Impossible, It
j would take divers such a long time
! to cut holes into the vessel to break
| open the cabin doors, that only a few
[ bodies or none could be Identified,
On account of the great distance of
the fog signals from the scene of the
disaster, the Consul General said that
he did not feel justified in holding
any one responsible at present for
the terrible loss of life. He would
prefer to wait further developments.
THE II APT INT CONVENTION.
HARMONIOUS SESSION AT CHARLESTON.
SpoolAl to the Tuiks by S. A A. Lino.J
Charleston, S. C., May in. On
Saturday Richmond was agreed upon
as the next place of meeting. War
den’s Mission Society was highly com
mended. Religious education of the
colored people wus strongly urged ns
a duty and a privilege. It devolves
an imperative obligation on those
who effected t heir emancipation and
enfranchisement, yet every consider
ation of interest, humanity and love
oftheGospel impel us to instruct
this class. We can do nothing by
way of endowment; wo can only sus
tain the pupil in the institutes of the
Home Mission Society. Most frater
nal relations with the Northern Bap
tists should bo preserved, but it is
neither probable nor desirable that
Northern and Southern organizations
should be merged in one. The For
eign Mission Journal hits been dis
continued, but with kind words it wits
highly commended, and rebuilds in
statu qua.
Foreign Missions were declared
prosperous and encouraging. The
building of the Rome Chapel was re
commended. Large anil enthusiastic
missionary meetings took place on
Friday and Saturday nights?there
were good collections made. A grand
Sunday School mass meeting was had
on Sunday afternoon ; splendid sing
ing, conducted by Mr. Fish. Fulfills
aliiy filled Sunday; Dr. Graves cron
ting quite a sensation by preaching

WHISKEY FRAUDS — STARTLING DEVELOF
MF.NTH.
Washington, May to. In connec
tion with tho recent removal of Com
missioner Internal Revenue Douglas
and comments thereon, the following
authenticated and startling facts will
prove interesting, anil will fully vin
dicate the action of the President anil
Secretary .if the Treasury in dealing
with Mr. Douglas, and will reflect
credit on the Solicitor of tlie Treas
ury, Col. Buford Wilson, under whose
personal direction tlie facts have
been worked up in, a way that will
speedily break up the great whiskey
ring, which has existed iri this coun
try for some time, and save to tho
Government many niillionsof dollars
annually in the collection of internal
revenue taxes.
Something over a year ago the ex
istence of an extensive whiskey ring
in several of the Western States was
charged in several prominent West
ern papers, and about the same time
letters were received by tlie Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue from pri
vate citizens in Indiana, Illinois and
Missouri to the sumo effect. Acting
on the hints furnished by these let
ters and those contained in the pub
lic prints, Commissioner Douglass
designated the Supervisor of Internal
Revenue to investigate the matter.
The investigation failed to establish
It, lie charges made. The Supervisor
j in his report stated that he had made
Ia thorough investigation, but failed
Ito find any evidence of the existence
of a whiskey ring, and in Ids opinion
it was impossible to BueoessfuUy
carry on such an im
mense illicit trade as was
charged. This report satisfied
the internal revenue officials and no
further action was taken on the mat
ter, and there was no further talk on
tho subject until some time during
the past, winter, when certain respon
sible parties informed the Commis
sioner of the continued existence of a
ring, and offered to furnish sufficient
facts to convict all concerned, pro
vided the Commissioner would au
i thortzo certain parties outside of tho
internal revenue force to work up tlie
matter. This tho Commissioner de
clined to do, saying, in reply, that the
law forbid Him employing any other
force than tho regularly appointed,
and oom missioned officers of tho bu
reau. Here the matter rested until
a few weeks since, when plans were
laid for tlie detection of the Operators
which to-day culminated in the heav
iest blow ever struck at the whiskey
ring, being no less than tho seizure
of over thirty prominent establish
ments at the West, including Chica
go, Bt. Louis nnd Milwaukee. The
Secretary of the Treasury, aided by
Solicitor Wilson, has been hard at
work for over two months unearthing
the secrets of the ring.

A Specific for Neuralgia.
I HAVE been Baying a good deal through the
papera of late extolling JORDAN'S JOYOUM
JULEP tus a moat wonderful NEURALGIA CURE;
but for fear you may exclaim as Shakspcare
when ho Hiiid ••You cram those words into mine
cur against tho stomach of my sense,” I now sub
mit to you what persons uav who Uavo tried my
Neuralgia Julep, with tho most complete and
satisfactory result:
Columbus, January 10, 1H75.
Mr.Jordan: 1 take great pleasure in recom
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
has produced a most wonderftil relief iu ono 01
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has had. She has been treated for it by
three skillful pliysieiauß. with very little henelit,
and used all the usual remedies with little huc
eess. I can with lunch coulidence hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two days sines we began
the use of it, and it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Yours, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.
Pktkhkbubo, Va., Jan. 15, 1H75.
Jno. L. Jordan, Esq., Columbus, Oa.:
Dear Sir—Having learned through my friend
R. A. Bacon of your “J. J. J.” preparation tor ru
lief of neuralgia, and tested it with perfect suc
cess iu my own family, iu the worst case, too,
that ever came under my observation, l now
enclose fifty cents for a second bottle, as 1 con
sider it too valuable a medicine to be without,
though I have no immediate use for it.
Very truly yours,
JAMES T. TOSH.
Columbus, Oa., Nov. (;, 1874.
Ur. J. 1.. Jonlan: Dear Sir—Your Joyous Julep
for Neuralgia has boon tried iu my family. kL.i
with the most happy result,and 1 find iu it all you
claim for its virtue. And 1 unhesitatingly re
commend it to all who are suffering from Nimral
gia as something a little remarkable iu its cura
tive power. J. D. WORTHY.
CoIumOTTR, Oa., D4c. 18,1874.
Ur. J. 1,. Jordan— Your medicine, Joyous
Julep, is without an equal for Neuralgia. Having
been a great sufferer from tho pain, and having
tried the prescriptions of many physicians, yet
all proved of no effect until I tried four doses
df your Julep, when I was immediately relieved,
and have not been troubled since.

Lake City, Fla., Nov. 4, 1874.
Ur. J. Jordan— Please send me another bot
tle of your Joyous Julep for a friend. I have
never found any thing equal to it for Neuralgia.
Two (loses cured me almost Instantly, and I can
safely recommend it to do what you say.
Very respectfully, Ac.,
JOHN M. JEFFRYB.
Fkrnandina, Fla., April, 1874.
Ur. J. L. Jordan, Columbus, Ga.:
Dear Dir—lt affords me pleasure to add my tes
timony to tin; efficacy of your ••Jordan’s Joyous
Julep,” in giving instant relief iu Neuralgia; and
to all appearance, a* effoctivs as instantaneous.
1 was effected daily with Neuralgia, and since
taking a few teaspoonfuls of your relief, two or
more week* have elapsed, and there are ho indi
cations of return. I hope that the human fam
ily will raceive a benefit commensurate with the
importance of your discovery, and that your
pecuniary reward will bo equal to its well de
served merits. Yours, resjieetftllly,
MRS. L. DOZIER
