The election of United Stales
Senators by a direct vote of tbe peo
ple of the various States is the prop
osition contained in a Joint Resolu
tion offered in the Senate by Mr.
Windom of Minnesota. This is a
proposed Constitutional change
which ire heartily approve of. The
nearer the politics of the country are
kept to the people, the better. There
need be no Legislative filter through
which any office should be strained.
Moreover, legislation shonl 1 be kept
as much aloof from mere partisan
warfare as possible. As matters now
stand, onr State Tiecislatnres are se
Wol almost entirely with reference
to their Senatorial preferences. One
result of this sort of thing last year
ia Nevada was that there was not one
lawyer in the Senate. Legislatures
should be confined to making laws
for the people. Thtir offices should
not be required iu making the peo
ple's selections of pnblie servants.
If Congress would rescue tbe al.
phabct and the multiplication table
from a close monopoly of news-huek-t-ters
they will devise some speedy
means for taking the Telegraph out
of the hands of the present shopping
place where it is retailed, and give it
to the people as the post is given to
them. This is not a free country so
long as the Telegraph is subject to a
monopoly. We might as well toler
ate a monopoly of the sale of ink and
paper; might with quite as much
reason permit a monopoly of thb
trade ia breadstuffs as to fail to make
an effort to take the only means
known to mankind for the quick
transmission of intelligence out of
its present one-man repository. Xext
after making enfranchisement uni
versal comes the importance of
making the Telegraph the property
of the pnblie.
J-1 A'aches on the
Tjk Senatorial Election in C il
iforoia cannot take place, under the
law of Congress until the ICth inst
That Act provides that the election
of Senators shall take place on the
S3Cond Tuesday after the organiza
tian of the Legislature. Tbe Legis
lature was not organized on Monday
so that yesterday did not connt as
one of the two requisite Tuesdays
Beyond any doubt, however, an or
ganization will be effected as soon as
next Monday which will give the
Legislature the 16th as the day for
cast in tr their firet vote upon this
question. Inasmuch as Mr. Booth
represents the high sonlej and pari
fied party of virtue and incorrnpt
ibility, of course neither he nor his
friends will attempt to gain any votes
by improper means ; and as there
are doubtless, many members who
are desirous of being nnproperJy
dealt with they will go to the wicked
Republicans and depraved Demo
crats in order te have their appetites
ratified. This is a drefful bad
world and Xewtoa Booth is too an
gelie to dwell in it.
The Terrible Disaster to the Valle
de Havre.
Cachiso .Res
ervation, Arizona, are making fre
quent raids across the border, into
Mexican territory and helping them
selves to horses there. This is not a
very legitimate business, but as a
stand off to the plundering of the
Texan people by the Greasers along
oa that part of the lino we are ia
cliued to think well of it. There is,
iu the mysterious workings of Prov
idence, virtue even in an Apache
Indian.
Ex-Govet.xob IIaight has pub
lished a letter declining, emphati
cally, to be a candidate for the
United States Senate. 'Ibis is al
most as much of a niudler asCasser
lcy's resignation. The Boothite3
laid the flattering unction to their
souls that little IIaight could be
used as a bait to catch the reforma
tory Democratic gudgeon with. The
ex-Governor has no notion of play
ing second fiddle to the man that
defeated Lim for a reelection.
Th AProisTjiENT of Hon. Gto. II.
Williams to the vaeaat Chief Justiceship
cannot fail to meet the approbation of
all parties concerned ami these incIuJe,
of course, the members of the Court
itself. Mr. Williams is a man of rip
lain J anil large culture, and is admirably
fitted by temperament and habit for the
position. It wiil be hard to supply his
place in the Attorney General's office.
Salem, Oregon, has gone Bepub
lican. The Mayor, Recorder, Treas

being of that faith. Dolly Vardeu
may not yet flaunt her petticoats

Losdox, DeeemWr 1.
The Purser of the steamer Ville de
Havre eW' the folloviu" account of the
disaster: The steamer was struck on her
Ktarlmai'd side and the mainmast and
riixiiiiT wtie cariied awav. The lim;
lwat was not erushed on deck, but after
bein lowered, the mizzenmast falling
upon it killed nt'arly all its occupants.
The mainmast fill after the tuizzen, top
pling over on deck and killing niaDT pe r-
sons. In a fear minutes the snip began
to sink amidst great disorder, panic and
terror. The scene was awful beyond de
scription. The air was rent with shrieks,
but some were heard saving calmly, "as
we must die let ns die nobly." The
water rushed into the hold with incredi
ble veloeitv. I undressed mvself and
Bi'Jh a companion jumped overbold and
swam toward the Laehene, then half a
mje dig, nt, and as I left I heard the
ship eracki:.,''. aE J looking around saw
ber go down C"i,a one lucSe forward.
For a moment th' shrieks were terrible
and then all was jjlect. It was the
silence of death. The iPtain remained
on the Ville de Havre durOS ue wbole
ti:ce and went dovrn with the .SU1P- lb
was picked v.p an hour afterwar. --ll
the ofieers who were rescued were s'ved
in a similar manner csecpt the Fire
Licutanant, whom the Captain hud sent
to the Laehene to see if she was in a
sinking condition, or if she were able to
receive the pasjeners of the Ville de
Havre. I swam hall an hour and finally
reached the Laehene, but rjisscd the
ropes thrown to n;e and remained in tl
water for another quarter of an hnr.r,but
was eventually rescued. Among the pas
sengers on the dx-k of the Villi; de Havre
w as a French gentleman of renmrkable
coolness and presence of mind. He com
forted many by his words. A priest
asked, "Are you a Human Catholic?"
'Yes," was the answer. "Kepent then,"
said the priest, "anil I forgive your
sins." With these last words the priest
sank in the waves. The penitent was
saved. The boats crossed and recrossed
the scene of the disaster, searching for
bodies unt.l 1) a. ra. Further efforts
were abandoned us hopeless. The sur
vivors remained on the Laehene until 3
pni., when they were transferred to the
Tri mountain.
The following is Captain Urqhart's
narrative: Oa Saturday morning, Nov.
22, being in latitude 47 degrees 23 min
utes; lougtitude 25 degrees 20 minutes,
we sighted a vessel on our weather bow
with her bowsprit gone and her sails
flagging. We hove to anil saw signals
of distress flung out. Oa coming nearer
the ship proveel to be the Laehene, eight
days out from London to Xew York.
Coniiug alongside the Captain asked me
to take the survivors of the Ville de
Havre, which had been sunk by the
Laehene at two A. M. that morning.
After consultation it was deemeel advis
able to tir.nifer nil the rescued people
but one French clergyman who had be
come deranged. Another of the party
was left to take care of him. The sur
vivors were crowded into the suiui! cabin
iu a pitiable state. They were heart
broken, ill-clad and destitute; but amidst
their grief they expressed their gratitude
to the captain and crew of the Laehene
for saving them from a watery death. I
supplied them with all the clothing
which could be spared on my ship, and
with other requisites, but nevertheless
sorre were almost naked and others
badly injured by fragments of the wreck.
After receiving nil on board the Tri
mountaiu, I cruised about the scene of
the wreck. The search was continued
until nearly dark that night, but we saw
only two casks floating and the search
was finally relinquished, and we pro
ceeded on our voyage to Bristol. I
wanted to land at Queenstown, but an
available wind enabled us to reach Car
diff. The survivors attach the blame to
the officers of the Laehene for the catas
trophe, but say they did everything they
possibly could to prevent a sacrifice of
life. The Laehene was very badly dam
aged; her bowsprit was clean gone and a
great hole was cut above her water line.
me passengers of tue jjie de Havre
say that Captain Surmount, during the
many uays ol log, took every precaution
and was constantly on the bridge
of the steamer. No one explains
now tha collision occurred. The Tribune
says that the men, women and children
rushed on deck in their sight clothing
and all vas confusion. The Lnchcne's
bow had cut a tissue in the deck of the
Ville de Havre twelve feet deep, and the
iron plating on her side was erushed in
for a distance of thirty feet. Most of the
passengers were too soared to save them
selves. Many prayed and many laid
down in dispair. Sonic, hearing the
water pouring into the ship, never
quitted their staterooms, and whole fam
ilies thus went down together. Among
the survivors was one lady whose hus
band and four children hail perished in
the sea. Three rescued young laities lost
their father and mother. One young
man lost his father, mother and sister,
and another gentleman lost his sister
whom he was inking to France for bar
health. Mrs. Spoffbrd of Chicago lost
three children and her nurse. She sank
with the vessel, but floated again and
was picked np. The Ville de Havre was
insured in Loudon for 'J0,00t).
