"If so be as how the ship am gone
down, then the boy won't come back. If
so be as how the ship am not gone dvwn,
the boy will come back." It is scarcely
necessary to say that the words we have
quoted above fell from the lips of Capt,
Jack Bunsby, on&,jol the ornaments of
the British merchant service. " There
is wisdom for you," is an expression that
fell from the lips of another ornament
of the same service. It is hardly neces
sary to advise the learned reader that
we allude to in short Captain Cuttle.
Bunsby and Cuttle were fast friends.
The former, whether from the circum
stance of always keeping one eye fixed
on the coast of Greenland,, or other
wise, was almost worshiped by the good
but simple-minded Cuttle, . Mr. Doraby
had sent a young man to Demerera on
business. In course of time intelligence
came that the ship on which he em
barked had foundered. " Bunsby who,
ia the estimation of his frienj was half
a dozen Websters rolled into one coloa-
cai whole, was consulted as an oracle.
Spreading on the floor a map of the seas
the ship must have traversed, and keep
ing one eye on the coast of Greenland,
he delivered the opinion we have quoted
at the bee'iDnine of this article. We ex
press no opinion of our own as to the
merits of the opinion, though it extorted
the most extravagant praise from the
man with a great honest, tender heart in
his bosom, and a bright pair of sugar
tongs in his pocket. And so, if we have
any Cuttles in this country, let them
summon all the Jack Bunsbys they can
bear of and set them to calculating
the chances of the safety of the pleasure
party that went out from onr shores on
board the Tennessee, bound for the
shores of San Domingo. We should
perpetrate a Terbal inconsistency to
adopt the language of Bunsby, in char
acterization of the possible fate of Ben
Wade and party. We should unsay what
we have said on a former occasion when
referring to this identical subject We
ecorn to be inconsistent. But let others
do that which we cannot do. Perhaps
we are wrong and Bunsby right Other
Bunsbys may console the Administra
tion. If the Tennessee went down, the
party will not come back. If the Ten
jieiee has not gone down, the party may
come back.' People generally may be
more difficult to satisfy than Cattle was.
Meantime, as the vessel should have
reached her destination within the space
of eight or ten days, and has been out
twenty-odd days and has never been
heard from, we cannot perceive any hope
for its safety, except that founded on the
Bunsby philosophy.
" SOUTHERJf PACIFIC aAlLBOAD.
If we may repose our faith in the
truth of ieleirraDhie reports from Wash
ington, the' bill to, appropriate public
lands in aid of the construction of the
SnutWn Pacific, railroad will pass tri
umphantly through Congress. We hove
been slow to believe man is ,nuu u.ij
chance at all of going through, and are
glad enough to find that we have been
mistaken. It seems that a test vote one
hundred and twenty-nine to sixty-two
h. settled its fate. After the nfteentn
of this month it will be taken up by the
Wnne. and. it is said, will Bass. Mean
time it remains in the bands of the Pa
cific Railroad Committee. But the as
sent of both' Houses does not dispose of
it. In his message to Congress, the
President notifies it that bills granting
any more lands to eorporations would
encounter his veto. ,.- W have no doubt
he will veto it should it pass. His hatred
of the South i i so intense that
he' is totally disqualified from
treating it with that justice
which is common among civilised com
munities, and especially that justice
which is due from the first ofheer of the
Government to the people, whose repre
sentative (theoretically at least) he is.
Another President will sign the bill, or
one similar, and the road will be built.
Grant can obstruct it two years, and
possibly six, but the work is a fixed fact,
if anything that has not transpired may
be styled a fact. The work will proceed,
veto or no veto, and will go through
hether its- ereatest enemy live to ob
struct it or die hating it.

ST. LOUIS.
F0BCIKO EQUALITY.
The Senate of Mississippi has run a
close race with, overtaken and throttled
one of a class of measures precipitated
on the South by the race of carpet-baggers.
It has defeated a bill (by a ma
jority of two votes) making it a misde
meanor for any inn-keeper to make dis
tinction on account of race or color.
The animus of the measure is this:
There is an excellent hotel in Jackson
kept by a gentleman who has made his
money by industry. He embarks in the
hotel business, as men embark in any
other business, to make money. He in
vests his money in it. He provides
everything suited to the business.
Hi parlors are richly carpeted and
gorgeously furnished. His rooms con
tain clean beds and furniture suited
to the comfort of clean people. His
table is luxurious, and patronized by the
highest people of the land. A negro
from a cotton-field, or from a night of
debauch, carrying fifty pounds of dirt on
his clothes and body, and a gallon of the
meanest whisky that the genius of the
still can invent, in his stomach, demands
one of the best rooms in the hotel de
mands to sit at the table with the guests
demands to spread himself out in the
parlors, and to make himself at home
generally. Many negroes demand the
aame privilege, and enforce it by the law.
To deny it to them is a misdemeanor and
punishable. What can the inn-keeper
do to protect himself? Why, quit the
business or keep a negro hotel, as the
whites will de?ert his house. If the vil
lainous act had passed, it would have
closed op every hotel in Mississippi.
The result would have been this: A
white man, possessing the pride and
instincts of his race, could not keep
a hotel in the State. This is Radi
calism. It hates, it despises, it
damns the white race of the Sonth.
In attempting to force the negro into
the circles and companionship of whites,
it is not actuated so much by a de-aire to
benefit the negro as it is to wound, hu
miliate and ruin th whites.

Sincs Postmaster General Creswell's
disgraceful connection with the Cborpen
ning fraud has been exposed, other trans
actions not creditable to him are coming
to light. A correspondent of the Wash
ington Patriot writes:
There is a small item I have a desire
to let you know, which will assist yon in
developing the very honest manner in
which the Postmaster General adminis
ters the duties of his office, namely: A
party from New York offered to convey
the mails to Galveston for twenty-four
thousand dollars once a week.1 Another
party from Baltimore offered to do the
same once a fortnight for thirty-six thou
sand dollars. The Baltimore party got
the contract. Why? Let it be investi
gated. - s : ; i

given is, that the accident was the result

the rules for carrying signal cards
through the train. The examination
continues to-day.
WASHINGTON.
Caaareaelaaal Praecedlasra.
Washisctox, February 10. Mr.
Hoar's bill provides a national system of
education, and is not likely to pass. The
chief value of the debate upon it is to
direct public attention to the deplorable
state of ignorance prevailing at the
South, and the possible necessity for the
General Government to give some tem
porary aid toward starting common
school education in the Southern States.
The strongest objection against the bill
is that instead of stimulating the States
to greater exertion, it takes the matter
really away from such as have not pro
vided free schools and places it nnder
control of the Government.
The fear of amendments plunging the
House into an endless debate on tariff
reduption and (he abolition of the inter
nal tax, was the cause of the defeat of
the first step taken in the Honse yester
day morning toward the abolition of the
odious income tax. Very much interest
was shown as to the result of the vote on
the main question after going into Com
mittee of the Whole on the bill, and
when it was announced there was im
mense clapping of hands by fhe major
ity, who evidently thought it a great
victory. Mr. Hooper, who has charge (if
the bill, will make another trial some
day next week, when it is hoped be will
succeed ir. getting the matter before the
House.

IMPORTANT CHASCERY SUITS.
The ronntr Court Held Liable for

Two suits were commenced yesterday
in the second Chancery court, ot con

suits are: Demsey Weaver, trustee, et al
vs. the County Court and twenty-one
Justices and ex-Justices of the county,
and Sam. Watson, Receiver of the Bank
of Tennessee, and stockholders against
the same parties. The bonds were issued
under an act qf the Legislature of 1861.
The bonds explain the object for which
they were issued, and we append a copy

These bonds were discounted in 161

the Receivers and Trustees now seek to
recover the amount of these bonds from
the County Court, or from the respective
magistrates, whom the plaintiffs claim
ate individually liable. Several other
"bills will be filed to-day on bonds issued
for the same purpose. A short time
since a motion was mede in the
County Court to appropriate money for
the payment of these bonds, which ap
plication was refused. The plaintiffs
now seek their remedy by filing an orig
inal bill in the Second Chancery Court.

trust of the security of that mode of
traveling. Ingemou theories as to the
cause of these disasters have been ad
vanced. My observation lead me to
believe that, in many instances, one
cause is apparent to every careful ob
server, and yet I have not seen it men

ingenious theories. ! I verily believe that
