TIFFIN TRIBUNE.
LOCKE Si BROTHER,
FROPR1XTOR&.
fB-MU-f Mil Z, I BIT.
Tom. Ewing, wbo rushed to Wub
ington with a repeal bill of bis own
manufacture, and baa been working
to get it through ever since Cocgri
opened, bad tbe pleasure last week of
seeing It unceremoniously thrown
aside and another adopted that was
divested of JSwingisms. Tom. Is al
most willing to die.
Tbe west did better on tbe resump
tion repeal bill than was expected.
In tbe Htates known as western, there
were tblrtv-uine votes for tbe repeal
to forty-one against It. We are glad
that a majority of tbe western Rep
resentatives stood up for honest
money and against Inflation. Tbe
bill will be defeated In tbe Senate.
It Is a carious Idea that whoever
dlSer with tbe "Independent Press"
In any ideas or notions are always
Irreclaimably wrong. A number of
U. 8. Senators, Republicans, have
diflered with President Hayes In
some of tbe details of bis policy.
Tbereujxin tbe "Independent Press"
mounts them and proceeds to demon
strata that they are "no better than
they ongbl to be," and to class them
as mere politicians. A disinterested
organ like tbe Tribune is willing to
concede that these same Senators are
pretiy good men, and tblnk that they
not only have tbe welfare of tbe
country to heart, but that of tbe party
likewise. It also thinks President
Hayes Is In the same boat. Now that
there should be a difference of opinion
between tbem Is not surprising the
surprise would be natural If it were
otherwise. So the question as be
tween them does not settle down to
whether one or the other of them are
sooandrels, but to an honest dlfter
enoe of opinion. The President can
not a3ord to break with tbe Senators,
and assuredly tbey cannot afford to
break with him.
There has been too much of this
lauding the President at tbe expense
of all otber leading members of tbe
party. It is something tbe President
can as little afford as can the party.
Neither can be aSord to receive with
out a "little salt" tbe advice of the
"Independent Press," which Is nnder
tbe control of shysters wbo attempt
to cover up their own Iniquities by
advocating strained Ideas of virtus
and goodness that no one in this
world possess if they bad these
virtues they would litve been trans
lated long ago.
We are led to these remarks from
an Intense disgust with Independent
shysters of this country, wbo have no
party or any thing in common with
ordinary humanity, wbo are persist
ently talking of virtue in politics and
bounding ever? body unless tbey fall
in with their idesi of things. Had
these fellows position In either politi
cal party their ooursa In evil would
beetfbh as to shame the best endeavors
of tbe d I, for they bsve no virtue
In tbem but aasuma It as a .cloak
for evil. Tbelr standard is so high
that It evidences the covering to
knavery.
Tbe civil service reform order was
purposely, stubbornly and meanly
misrepresented by sulky Republicans.
The fact that one of the most import
ant of all the Republican office-holders,
Mr. Sherman himself, opened
tbe campaign in Ohio, ought to have
been enough. But there are none so
blind as those who don't want to
Bee. Bucyrua Journal.
Tbe Journal has the above, refer
ring to a few remarks of the Tribcnb
on tbe eutjeot of the civil servios re
form order. We presume there were
some sulky Repp bl leans wbo did as
the Journal suggests. But if tbe
Journal baa been reading tbe corres
pondence of tbe western papers from
WaMhlugton for a few months back it
will remember tbat all the writers,
some of tbem claiming to be inspired
from headquarters, Insisted that office-holders
bad no right to take part
in politics either before or after nomi
nations ; that a man who was In of
fice waa deprived of his citizenship,
exoept so far as his right to vote ; that
be should not contribute of his means
towards tbe legitimate, expenses of
the party in short that he most hold
himself entirely aloof. This was so
worked np by those fellows in Wash
ington, who professed to have tbe
President's ear, tbat office-holders In
Ohio dared not do one thing in party
matters aa other citizens did. Those
who contributed to tbe legitimate ex
panses of the party, as tbey felt it
their duty to do, did it with fear
and trembling, and took mighty good
oa re to cover tbelr tracks. Others
made the civil service order an ex
cuse to sneak out of paying anything.
We are neither sulky nor a sore
head, but we stated a simple fact.
As to Mr. Sherman, he did not open
the campaign. It was distinctly an
nounced for him that he waa not in
Ohio for political purposes, but be
mads his speech an admirable one
to set forth his individual financial
views and did not bold the party re
sponsible for tbem.
We will never have a repeal of tbe
Resumption Act until tbe bowling
Inflationists are sent to tho rear and
silenced. Blade.
The repeal of the resumption act
means Inflation, pure and alas pie. It
Is tbe howling inflationists who are
making all tbe fuss. What is needed
now are honest papers and men to
stand by honest money. Tbe Blade
ought to bq counted in tbat line.
A SENATORIAL. FIGHT.
Thursday last was a field day in the
Senate. A oorretpon Jent of the On-j
cinnati Gazette report- it as follows
The occurrence of to-day, as may
be well imaginod, have produced a
profound impression, iiie scene in
tbe Senate Chamber for two hours
and a half was one of the most in
tense interest. It will never be forgot
ten by those present At adjourn
ment last night but few Republicans
realized tbe exact situation. Mr.
Tbunnan's movements at the open-
log of tbe session, however, were suf
ficient to show tbat there waa great
confidence on tbe Democratic side,
and that tbey expected to carry tbs
day. The purposes of Conover and
Patterson became fully known before
a vote was reached on the proposition
to lay on the table Mr. Tburman's
motion to take up tbe Roller case.
Tbe first notice tbat this intended
apostasy waa known to tbe Republi
cans came in tne midst 01 some oil
ing remarks from Mr. Oonkling, de
livered with bis remarkable facility
In a speech of this kind. In which,
turning first to Conover on ons hand,
and looking him foil In tbe face, and
then to Patterson on the other, be re
ferred to an unholy alliaoce by which
the Democrats expected to obtain
control of the body at this time. The
Senate was full, the pages having
brought in every one from tbe com
mittee rooms. Many members of tbe
House, in spite of tbe excitement
there, bad left and crowded into tbe
chamber, over which a deep silence
waa fast creeping. Tbe galleries bad
gathered nearly all whom tbe dull day
had allowed to reach tbe Capitol.
Conkliug's measured words, and his
pointed designation or tne men ne
was thus charging with desertion,
made known tbe situation to all pres
ent. Tbe Senators thus pointed out,
could not stand tbe notoriety,
and temporarily withdrew. Tbe brief
debate proceeded wltb unusual quiet
It was a stillness ominous of disaster
to the Republicans. The Democrats
sat almost silent, waiting for a chance
to vote, and when at length roll call
began, on tbe motion to take up Tbur
man's resolution to proceed with the
Butler case, there was absolute silence
throughout tbe chamber, exoept as
tbe Cierk called tbe names of the Sen
ators and as tbe latter answered. Con
over's name waa the first to be reach
ed of those whose vote was to decide.
As he answered "No," Republicans
sat as silent as soldiers stand wben
the first pattering shots of battle be
gin to fall. Tbe Democrats aat as
still, and few turned to look at tbelr
colleagues. On tbe faces or tne Jtte
publicana there was a universal ex
pression of deen contempt and serious
disappointment, while tbe whole
Demaoretio aide wore an air of
triumph. Few Republicans hoped
for help from Davis, but the
silence appeared to grow deeper
as bis name was called, and
as be. too. answered "No." tbe roll
ran on without attraction, until Pat
terson's name was reached. Every
breath appeared to be held close as be
answered with Conover : and, through
the rest of the call, there was a gen
eral stir, as ir to recover from the
tense strains or tbe watching. Wben
tbe result waa announced, and It ap
peared beyond question tbat tbe
Democrats had virtually come into
power In tbe Senate, and could con
trol a majority or two votes, it seemed
almost incredible, even to those wbo
have been expecting such a result,
from tbe Democratic Intrigues of tbe
first few weeks.
Following this triumph a scene was
presented, tbe disgrace of which it
would be difficult to deepen. No
sooner bad Conover and Patterson
tnus publicly proclaimed tbelr a poo
tasy than tbey were received into full
fellowship on tne Democratic side.
Within fifteen minutes eaoh bad bad
earnest and friendly consultations
with Butler, Gordon, Voorbees, La
mar and tbe others on their side, wbo
for years have been unable to find
words In tbe language strong enough
to express tbelr contempt for tbese
very men. Butler seemed to take tbe
control of Patterson in his bands, as
if to ehow openly that it was a prom
ise of abandoning the criminal pro
ceedings In South Carolina, as has
been supposed, by which Patterson
was secured. Conover most appro
priately seated himself by Barnum,
as if to recall tbat he was the Demo
cratic purchaser of mules during the
Tllden campaign. He watched cono
ver, fearing he would make a balk,
during tbe rest of tbs session, and
ones led him out to vote wben he
seemed Inclined to dodge.
Tbe Senate Elections Committee
held an additional meeting this after
noon. Tbe Democratic members of
the committee say tbey should make
no objection to reporting the Kellogg
case on Monday, but under tbe rule a
single objection will cause tbe report
to be laid over in the Senate one day.
Tbe Republicans will therefore be
obliged to fllllbuster during Monday
before they can wake a final Issue on
tbe question of precedents between
Butler and tbe Kellogg case.
At the close of tbe session the situa
tion was such tbat unless the Republi
cans can reclaim Conover, of wblch
there seems to be utile probability,
tbe success of Democrats in seating
Butler, Spofiord and Eaetlc will be
merely a question of reaching a vote.
The Republicans have one chance be
sides this. Conover and Patterson
have at various times promised tbat
they would vote for tbe admission of
of Kellogg, and If a vote on his case
can be first reached, and tbey keep
their word. Kellogg can be seated.
and his vote vote with Republicans
ill then be sufficient to make a tie,
and so enable tbe Vice-President to
give tbe casting vote. No Immediate
decision of pending questions is ex
pected, unless tbe Democrats, by
Monday, seeure undisputed control cf
Conover and Patterson.
On Monday tba fight waa resumed,
and an all day and night session was
held.
It is evident that tbe osntrol of tbe
Senate is in a very critical situation.
To-day there are 83 Republicans ; 34
Democrats ; 1 Independent Davis,
of Illinois ; one contested case from
South Carolina and two from Loui
siana. If the Democrats can fill tbese
three vacancies, tbe Senate would
stand Republican, 33 ; Democratic,
37, with Judge Davis, wbo often votes
itttb tbe Democracy, to make it a tie.
They may be able to fill tbe vacan
cies, as Blaine and Sharon are absent
Blaine is paired, but tbat don't count
with Democrats in this kind of a
flgbt.
Things look squally.
DISASTER AT SE.
Friday last, at 1:30 o'clock A. M., tbe
Man of War Huron was ship
wrecked when about twelve hours out
from Fortress Monroe. There were
135 persons on board and all were
lost except 30.
STATEMENT OF LPCIEN TOUNO.
Tbe Landmark has the statement
of tbe Ensign. lAiclen Young, which
is as follows : 1-iett Hampton 1 loads
about 11 o'clock, A. M., Friday, and
steamed out in charge of a pilot TLe
pilot left at 1 o'clocK. I had tbe
afternoon watch. A stiff breese and
a heavy sea was running from the
southeast ; took departure at l-iJ from
Cape Henry light, bearing west by
tooth, distant about five miles, and
south by east three-fourtris east ; un
bent tbe chains and secured tbe an
chors for sea ; about 2 o'clock made
all plain sail ; wind hauled more to
south and took in topsails ; four
o'clock tbe wind increasing, also sea
Increasing and tbe ship rolling to lee
ward about ten degrees. 1 was re
lieved by Ensign Danner about four
o'clock. About eight o'clock Mr.
Danner told me that tbe jib and fly-
ins lib stays were carried away, and
tbe wind was blowing a gale ; went
to bed about S:30 ; was aroused about
midnight by tbe ucartermaster can
Ing Mr. French: beard Mr. French
ask him tbe state of the weather ; the
Quartermaster replied, "Bad." I
dozed off again and was rt-aroused
about 1:10 by the thumping of tbe
sbip, when she struck bottom bard.
Tbs Captain sung out as be came out
from tbe cabin, "Hard down." I put
on a coat ana pair or pants ran on
deck and found tbat It was blowing a
fresh gale ; heard tbe order "Brail np
the mainstay sail,'' and assisted but
could not take it in then ; asked the
Captain if we should throw the guns
overboard. He said, "Yes do it as
quick as possible." Got tbe perma
nent tackles book to the lee gun, but
could not remove it because she had
bilged and could not get it over for
the sea. Tbe captain then ordered
me to burn all tbe signals I could.
In tbe meantime all tbe port boats
and cutter bad been carried away, tbe
ship was lying on her port, bilged
broadside at an Incline of about forty
degrees and tbe sea breaking clear
over ber ; went into tbe cabin and
saved two boxes of coaster lights ;
sent np five rockets and burnt over
one hundred signals, the sea was then
staving in the cabin very rapidly,
wben I beard the words given for all
bands to go forward as quick as possi
,
ble. I hurried the i:isrUr
maiiterB wbo were with me
and some otber men to go
forward ; as I paras! the cabin
door Mr. French a -feed me if that m
ail ? I told blm yes ; then Ue al.l
we must go quick. We all t-tartcd to
gether. I bad a hold on a (jailing
gun wben a very heavy sea came
over and washed myself and atout
five others down to the leevrard, and
all but myaelf went under tbe sail,
and tbey were drowned. I was
caught in the bag of the sails and hurt
both legs against tbe gaflt ; regained
tne gear of a nine-inch gun and
worked myself forward ; thought I
saw Mr. French go with main rig
ging ; saw a number of men standing
In tbe starboard gangway and on tbe
first laucb, and a number of men un
der tbe main top gallant forecastle. I
succeeded in getting ou tbe top gal
lant forecastle with tbe assistance of
the men there. A number of men
bad on life preservers and one rubber
balsa was rigged on tbe forecastle.
Tbe top-gallant forecastle was full of
men and officers. Two or three men
lashed themselves to the bowsprit
Every one was perfectly cool and
showed no signaor fear. The majority
of ua got close together on the upper
side of tbe forecastle, sulfering much
from cold and exposure. .'1 be seas
would break clear over ua and nearly
suffocate us. Mr. Conway, watch
officer, bad on a blanket, and shared
it with Mr. Danner, Mr. Loomis and
myself. We sounded over the side
and found about six feet of water. A
little wblle after we sounded again
and got seven and a half and eight
feet ; saw lights about one point on
starboard bow and we gave three
cheers and repeated tbem several
times. We then saw tbat tbe noon
tide was breaklns over ns worse. We
here saw tbe first launch, tbe only
boat left, stovs in and it knocked Cap
Ryan and tbe navigator overboard :
saw two men killed on tbe forecastle.
Mr. Conway suggested tbat we make
some effort to get a line on shore. I
said I would attempt it and called for
men to put tbe balsa over, wben a
three-inch line was made fast to the
balsa and the same lowered over
board, but it fouled with tbe jibboom
foreguard and otber spars and got
down on tbe torpedo spars ; worked
about ten minutes to clear toe balsa,
and called for some one to help me.
Danner came down part of tbe way
and aald be was too weak and could
not get on. I then told bim tbat it
was our only cnance and be bad better
try. He said be could not or be
would see in a UtUe while. Wil
liams, a seaman, came down and said
be would go in about. We succeeded
In setting the balsa clear of the spars.
I could get no main line, and the
first lieutenant Mr. Simons. Mr.
White and many others In the fore
castle sung out to me : "Tbe line is
out ; cut it and get to shore if possi
ble lor assistance." I had a small
pen-knife, but could not open It be
cause my nanus were benumed.
Williams opened It and I succeeded
in cutting the rope : was then atruck
several times by spars, once in tbe
small or the back and across tbe hips.
We thought the beach ran perpendic
ular to tbe sbip. It was foggy and we
could not see tbe shore. Wben the
line was cnt tbe talsa went towards
the stern of tbe ship, and we thought
we were going to sea, one thing tbat
deceived tbe majority of the ship's
company. We pad died tbe Balsa
with pieces of paneling. Near tbe
stern or the sbip a beavy surf struck
us and capsized the balsa end for end.
My leg being jammed, it had me un
derneath the water for a while. Both
regained tbe balsa wnen I told Wil
liams we would then steer tbe balsa
in fear of another capsize. We were
thrown over again and tbe catas
trophe threw Williams about ten feet
My arm being jammed I was thrown
on my back, wnen we came up
again it was rather still water. I
swam and pushed the balsa towards
Williams. He got on top and stood
np and looked around aDd said that
he saw the masts of fi9hing vessels
ahead, which proved to be telegraph
ic poles on snore. I told him we
would steer for it. Ws capsized
twice more, and before we knew it
we were on tbe beach. I told him to
haul the balsa up, as we might want
tocselt tosendoff to theship. Landed
about three-quarters of a mile up the
beach from tbe wreck ; round two
men Inside the surf, but too weak
to get up : went down and
pulled tbem up. - I then ran
to tbe first house I saw, but
found no one in it ; started down the
beach as fast as I could, my legs h art
leg me very badly. Found ten or fif
teen people from tbe shore standing
opposite the wreck looking at it. I
told them to go farther up tbe beach
and do all tbey could to save tbe men,
wbo appeared to be landing np there
with a very strong current running
up coast We pulled out several
more men : I asked them where tbe
life-saving station was ; tbey said one
was seven miles np tbe beach, and
tbe otber five miles down the beach.
Saw a man on horseback, and sent
blm to tbe upper station for aid and
to telegraph to Washington for assis
tance to the wreck. This was about
7 o'clock A. M. Then saw Mr. Con
way, wbo bad been landed. Asked
tbese men on sbore why tbe life car
was not tbere. Tbey told me tbat the
life crew of thirteen were at Roanoke
Island. I asked why they did not
bring it up. Tbey said It waa locked
up in tbe station, and they were
afraid to break open the door. I told
tbem tben if tbey would come with
me I would break open tbe door and
get It out Five of tbem volunteered
to go. I asked tbem 'f they saw our
signals and tbey said they did, even
the first signal. I then walked and ran
down tbe beach with tbes9 men, but
saw a team coming down which
proved to bs that of Sheriff Bunkley
of Dare City. I broke open the door ;
got the mortar and lines ; broke open
tbe locker and found powder and
balls, which Sheriff Bunkley brought
up but wben I got back to the scene
of tbe wreck all the masts of tbe Hu
ron were gone and no one was on
board. This was almost 11 A. M.
Sheriff Bunkley then invited ua to
bis boose. Tbe oflloers accepted tbe
Invitation ; the otber men were pro
vided for at tbe station, with provis
ions, beds, blankets and clothing.
The sheriff with a team then went np
tbe beach and was all night with his
men looking for bodies. I teleeraph
ed to Admiral Trencbard at Hamp
ton Roads for aid and clothes and
provisions, which was signed by
Master W. P. Conway. I sent the
same telegram to tbe Cbief Signal
Officer In Washington, stating tbat
four officers and thirty men were
saved, and tbat tbe sbip was a total
wreck. Tbe next mornlnn one of the
men reported two men-of-war and a
wrecking steamer in the offing. We
went Immediately to tbe station and
I tried to call tbe attention of the
sbip with a large blue flag, but could
not Tben I went up to a point oppo
site the wreck and found the tele
graph operator flagging to tbe wreck
ing steamer. I took bis flag and sig
naled to tbem tbe names or tbe o Ul
cers saved and number of men, and
asked them what we should do with
eight dead men we bad ? Tbey an
swered : "Walt a moment, and we
will communicate with tbe Admiral."
Shortly aterward the flag ship, Pow
hatan and tbe Fortune started north
ward and disappeared. The Sivatara
tried to signal ua but without glasses
I could not read It At one o'clock a
relief party under command of Lieu
tenant Watson arrived from Gog port
Navy Yard with Surgeon Geo. Arthur,
stores, etc. All tbe saved and tbe
bodies of the dead were then placed
on board tbe steamer Bonita and con
veved to Norfolk.
Ensign Young, Master Conway and
Engineer Warburton left this evening
for Washington.
The Elmlra Gazette prints an ex
tract from a private letter from Hon
Allen C Beach, In which he says :
"I trust all Democrats will now be
animated by a common purpose to
make a wise use of the victory, avoid
bickerings and criminations, and to
do everything possible to promote tbe
strength and harmony of tbe party."
The latter part of the foregoing ad
vice would fit the Republican psrty,
from President Hayes, the Senators
and Representatives down through
the whole of us.
Some of Pendleton's friends are
calling Morgan a salary grabber. He
did take a little too much salary, but
he never gobbled up such an Immense
railroad fee as did Pendleton. Mor
gan is as well qualified for Senator as
Pendleton.

ABOUT DITCHES.
We have get a law for establishing
ditches that is as good as can be
made. I think It needs no further
legislation at present. I think we,
the tax-payers of Seneca and Ban
dusky counties, have all tbe tax
money to pay, for tbe different
agencies that we are concerned In,
tbat we can bear. I understand that
the Commissioners of each county
are In favor of having a special act
passed to make the people who live
upon stream come down ten or
twelve miles below and dig ditches or
have a tax levied on their lands to
do the digging. I think that to have
such an act passed is entirely out of
place, for the ditch law is just as
it should be, for it always makes
tbe party that is tbe most
benefited do the most work. Now if
those parties,who are so eager to have
such an act passed, will consent to do
tbe same thing for us up the stream
as they ask of us we will say no more
about It. As the old saying is, "It Is a
poor rule that won't work both
