A putative friend of Drrano now says thot the Secretary has concluded to dio only with tho Adpinistration, which shows that he has n pourer opinion asto tho require- ments of tho sorvice than is entertained by the country at large. Por's monument at Baltimore will be fin- ished by October, The telegraph this morn. ing states that the Superintendent of Publie Schools in that city hos received a lotter from TexNsyson testifying his gratification that this solid mark of apprecintion will be orccted. The author of *8t, Simeon Stylites," ** Lady Godiva,” and tho * Bugle-Call” pays a de- - gerved tributs lo the man who discovered a rhythm in pootry as individusl 8s the Keevy motor would bo in mechanical scionca. During the trial of Wzron in tho Criminal Court yestorday afternoon for the murder of Davery, another tragedy was in progress about a mile distant, and beforo the jury had agreed upon their verdict of ten yoans'im- prisonment, & drunken row botween two men in a house of ill-fame resulted in the fring of & pistol-shot which subsequontly caused the denth of the wounded man. Bad whisky and bad women were at the bottom of both wurders, Baltimoro hos found material for excited comment in an extraordinary marriago just celebrated in thot city., The bride isa col- ored womnn, and tho groom a scion of the English family of Pranraceszers, who, it is &aid, with the Prince of Wales ont of the way, would be in the direct line for some day ruling tho destinies of the Rritish Empire, But Aroent Epwaep still holds o place in the toleranco of his future subjects, and England is sparcd the probability of ever acknowl- sdging fealty to an African Queen. It should bo generally known and fully ap- preciatod that Gen, Sueripan has issued im- perative instructions that all persons endoav- vring to reach the Black Hills sholl be pre- vented from going, and that all who are now thero shall be sxpolled. These orders are to be obeyed until an official declaration of the result of tho conforence between tha Government and tho Indians. The order is fally warranted by the fact that the titlo to tho country is in the Indians, and that they aro entitled by their treaty to the protection of the Government. Asids frowm this, the or- der may save much suffering, loas of time and money, and the demoralization of an adven. turous and disppointed carcer, to many o man, Some uncertainty haa provailed concerning the position of Postmaster-General Jewerr with regard to the practice of levying assess- ments upon Postmasters and clerks for con- tributions to campaign funds, Mr. JewrLy has now given positive expression to his views on this subject. While not discournging voluntary offrings for political exponses, ho will not pormit a forcible or compulsory levy upon tha clerks in his Department, and in the event of their refusal to contribute, their standing will be in no way jeopardized. Tho same rule will opply to Postmasters, who aro at Liberty to subscribo money or not, Just as they sea fit, without tho interforonce of the Departmont. This ia excellent, 5o far 23 it goes, but it conld ba improved by exe tending the sumo measure of protection to clerks and employes of tho various Post Oftices. —— ‘Thoy have & summary way of denling with incompoetent polico officials in Lawrence, Mass, The City Marshal was proptly fn. .formed by the Magor that his failuro to make 8 vigorous and manly effort to quell last Mon- day's riot botween the Catholics and the Orangemen made his vesignation necesgary, snd upon this hint the Marshal actod aud ro- signed.

As tho elec. tion of Dr, Moss was the result of a com. promise, and as this compromise has failed, it is scarcely probable that the experiment of compromife will bo repented. This renders tho rosult declsive aud flanl, a3 nearly ag can now be predicted. President Burrovans will receive the congratulations and ex-Presidont Mosa tho sympnthy of their numerous friends. The mistake of the Jat- tor seems to have buen one of generalship in bringing on n decisive battle without count. ing tho number and range of his cnomies’ guna, The Napoleonio principle still pre- vails in university manngement as in other Lranches of the art of war, that Providence leans kindly toward the General who mustlers the heaviest artillery. A fow days sinco we made referenco to the contest in New York between the Bhort. Hmrs and Swallow-Tails, stating the point at issue between them relative to the question of wages, and setting forth tho momeontons importance of that question as aflccting oth- eor large citics. 'The Intest development in the contest is a lettor from Mayor Wickmax to the Short-nirs, showing them why it is impracticable that they should be paid an oxceptionnl rate of wages or a rate above the market value of labor. In his letter he indicntes that higher wages will come with bettor times; that the present reduction has followed tho genernl deelino in tho market value of lnbor; and that the lower the rate of wages paid, the moro laborers the city ean afford to omploy, The most vital part of the question, however, ho states as follows : Public moneya come aut of tho pockets of the tax- payers; the ultimate and real tax-payers are the tous of thounsnds of tmembers of the great laboring class, of which the comparatively few men employed by the city wpon public works are but a wmall part the wages of that amall part sre really paid out of the pockets of the rest of the laboring class; and it scoms plain, thoreforo, that that small part would, If thefr wages wero largely oser tho market rate, be only » 1 priviteand class, living, o the extent of the ex- cesa of thelr wages, upon the enforced bounty of their Drethren, in thoshape of o free glft from tho publia oficials, Undor hose circumstances, the heads of departmenta nakod themeelves thess questions: If » public officer can give away & fow dollars of public wmoneys, what limit is there to his powors in that dircction, and what is to preveut him from giving awayamillon? Dut would that be snything butter than steallng, snd would an honest and enlightened public officer addicted to practicas of that kind bo Auything botter than s thief? PROF. MARSH VB. THE INDIAN RING, ‘Tho Intest nssnilant of the Indian Ring is Prof. Otuxien 0. Mansm, of Yale College, n man who devotes his whole lifo and fortune to ucientitio resereh, n quiet, retiring gentlo- mnn, who shuns notoriety, who spenks with caution, and who has undertaken the task of exposing the knaves of the Ring,—a task so uacongenial to a mna in his position and of his temperamgnt,—simply beeauso ho feels it to behis duty to doso. For a number of years ho has spent the summer and fall in the ‘West, digging for fossils, This pursuit hos led ki into every part of the Indian range. He is known to all tho tribes. Mo probably has tho most exteusive nrmy acquointance of any civilinn in the country. His opportuni- ties for investignting the Indian question havo therefore beon very great. It ia noedless to tell any one who takes an interest in science that Prof, Mainen's discoveries have made him famous at howo and in Europe. Yet when he first suggested to the Interior Dopartment tho ndvisability of investigating the ndminis- tration of Indian affairs, tho only answer vouchsafed to this sccomplished scientist and thoroughly competent observer'was a rude statewent that some charges hod beon made by *aMr. Marsi” It wne an unfortuonto moment for a Mr. Deraxo and a Mr. Burra whon they tried to bully the Professor, Thoy probably regret their boorishness sinco he wrote his last letter to the President. In this, he declined to preparo a statement for the Interior Dopartmont alone beeauso (1) he distrusts the sincerity of Secretary DevaNoand Commissioner Surru, ingsmuch as they have long Imown nbout the prevalent abuses—wa might call them villainies—andhave taken no steps to reform them ; (2) in his interviews with them, they have nimed, not to find ont about the frands, but to discover how much Lo knew about them, in order to provent any exposure ; and (1) ** the ovidence now in my possession reflects unfavorably on both Sec. rotary Dezano and Commissioner Ssura.” Hoving implanted these stings in the men who are loudly acoused, the country ovor, of being tho heads of the Indian Ring, Prof. Manait tells what he knows about the largest and most important Agency in the West, Rev Croun's, whero J, J. Saviiir manages things uud fixes them to suit himself and others, Ton distinet churges are mode, Wo quote them in full. First—Tho Ageut, J. J, SAVILLY, s wholly uafitted for i positiou, aud guilty of gross frauds upon In. Wan tn bls charge, Second—The number of Indians at this Agency has been systetuutically overstated for purposes which can ouly rewult fn fraud, 2'hind—The lust fuwuo of annuity goods, which T wit- nessed, wan & suspielous transaction, sud fu part at least frauduleut, Lourth=The eef eattle given to the Iudians havo bova very Inferior, aud ull owing 10 systemalic frauds practiced by the Agent and beef-contractory, JAfth—Tho pork fssuod o the Tndions durlug my vinit was nol sustable for human fare, Murth—'Tho lour wus very Inferior, and evidence of fraud in e article s couclustye, Seventh—The wugar sud collve isausd were ot good, ulthough better than othor wuppHos, Eighth—Tho tobacco Lysued waa roiten and of Uttle ©or uo use to the Indians, Ninith—1u consequence of frand snd mismansge- meu, the Indians wulfered groatly dwing the peat winter for wuut uf food and clothing, T'enth—Tha contract for frelght from Cheyenne to the Reb CLoun Agency was fraudulent, ua the true dis- tanice iy 143 milew, while tho coutractor was pald 213 wlles, ‘Theso charges aro made on the strength of proofs which Luve also beon forwurded to tho President, What will tho President do? s Coruvanus Drvaro, whom millions of persons in this country believe to be n corrupt man, the head and front of the Indian Ring, the protector if not tho contriver of itu rascalities, to be suffered to remain in the place and power he hos sbused? Repeutod charges have been brought aguinst him. If Le is not guilty of dishonesty, he is guilty of gross and criminal incompetency. In cither case, there should bb no besitancy in demanding his resiguation, As for Indiun-Commissioner Sauty, he, when Indian Agent, was acoused of partlcipation in some very dishonest trans. actions. He was whitewashed by a commit. tee appointed by DeraNo, but the maln wit- nesavs agelust bim refused to appear for the sama roasons which, as Prof, Mansx frankly explains, prevent his trying to prove anything 40 Becretary DeriNo, ‘mwmmuumnopubum party, a8 well a8 of the publio, demand the removal of the Secretary of the Interior. If the DPresident waits for tho ‘‘newspaper clamor” to stop beforo romaving him, ha will be like the fool in the fablo who waited for tho river to run hy. There have been several changes for the better in tho Cabinet of lato, but the worst member bas been left undis. turbed. Thia should no longer bo the cnse. Dishonesty or incompetence,—theso aro tho two horns of the dilemma, o writhes on one of them, and perhaps on both, Dzrano delendus est. * THE COLLEGE REGATTA, The result of yesterday's bont-raco at Sarn- togn was a surprise to overybody, notwith- standing the snccess of the Cornell Fresh- men the day before might have given n fair indication of the advance Cornell hns mnado in muscular trainivg. Ynlo had been tho general favorite, and ita partisans throughout tho country have been atmost {ntolorant in their confidenco of victory. But during the Inst week it has shown unmistakablo signs of distrust and wenkness, First camo tho re- ports of overtraining ; then came-changes of men ; aud finnlly a change of boats. All theso things may have becu inevitablo, but they were not any the less certain indications of a losa of confidence, aud, in connection with a certain unenviable notoriety which tho Yalo crew have achieved for hnggling, they were construed by impartial observers to niean probable defent. But it wns searcely to be anticipated that the Ynle crew would be left o far belind as searcely to warraut wllotting them a position; nud tho fact that Harvard came in third while Yalo was fifth will increase tho old animosity betweon the tiwo institutions which is handed down from one class to another, and from one crew to ita successor. Fortunately it did not bring on any disgrnceful and dan- gerous ** fouling," as was tho case Inst yoar, and the race secms to have been in every re- spect fair and honorable, The fact that Columbia came in second, and that the Columbia crew this year is com. posed of the same men who rowed Inat year, is evidenco that their victory of last yoar wns descrved, and at the samo timo ovidence that Cornell's success Lias been achioved by faith- ful work, stendy persovernuce, and good judgment. The timo of tho raco—10:53{— confirms this view of tho case, since it is in advance of the averngo. The success of Co- lumbia one year aud of Cornell the next will givo to New York a decided prestige over Now England in theso intercol- leginto contests, and will probably contribute more to the rapid ndvancement of the New York colleges than wonld any demonstration of superior intellcctual ability or improve. ments in the curriculum. There aro those who will not regret this circumstance, if it sball bo the means of tearing down the com- placent nssumption of superiority which #eoms to be a characteristic of the average Now England college-nun. In other words, it will do no larm to *‘take tha conceit out of them.” There will be a good-nntured effort to couplo the superior muscular dovelopment with & superior intellectun! development. ‘Wo imagine, s a matter of fact, that there is very littlo sympathy between the two, and that the dircet influence of -ono over tho other is scarcely apprecinble, The college regatts has become one of tho institutions of the land, and must stand by itsolf; the rele- gation of both Harvard and Yale to the rear is chiefly valusble sa a punishmont for the unworthy practices of which both have been accused, and as a warrsnt that future rogat- tas will bo free from everything but honora- blo emulation. Cornell is to bo credited, howover, with superior discernment for taking up with the paper boat, which was discarded sonte three or four years ago under the lead of Yale. This papor boat not only won both the Freshman aud the Univarsity contests, but had dons previous rorvico in tho way of practice ; and it thereby demon- strated o tougliness and durability which had always beon denied toit. As it was the only paper boat in uso in the regatta, it is fair to agsumo for it some of the credit for the vie tory, while the Cornell men should reccive on acknowledgment for the originality and boldness which led them to brook away from the common prejudice, Cornell has the right to celebrato, as it is doing leartily, nnd the monrners have the satisfaction of knowing that thoy were beaten fairly by better mon. | ——— THE PARTY OF REFORM, Wo yesterday commecuted upon the ex- traordinary statement Ly Horway, the pro. spective Demoeratic candidate for Governor in Indiona, that the only real objection to a resumption of specie payments was that tho thino Lnd not yet arrived to adopt the policy of honesty, The same gontleman, in the eanme speech, thus oxpressed himgelf on an- other point: Tho first and most important thingto be done by the next Congress fa to glve the peoplo an catuest of ita intention to practice sconotwy, rigld aud uncownpro- mising, Reform within the ranks of tho party now inpower s quite fmpossible, , . That roform in the futerests of groster oconomy i foevitable fn n matter about which there can now bo no doubt The question is, Who shall effect that reform? If the Democratic party refuses to undertake tho task, then 1t will bo done by tho Indepeudont party, an organ- fzation mot yet by any means perfoct, but which con- tainw wilhin {iself the elements of political power auf- fciont to sweap all Leforat, The Democratio party fa logically tho yarty of reform (), It has proatiye bee bind it oud possibllities befure it (2), The Demoeratic party in 1874, by a com- bination of clrcumstances, obtained an nacond- ency in ueveral States of the Union, and notably in Iudiona. It was the fArst Demo- cratio Legialature with a Demoeratio Gover- nor in that State for many years, What did that body do in the way of rotronchment and reform? It had not been in session three weeks before it became such a reproach to popular government that its procecdings were calenlated to throw doubt upon the capacity of the people of Indiona for self. government. As the scasion progressed, the unfitness of the Democratio majority for any governmental purpose was notorious and con. fessed. ‘The result was a large incrense in all the expenditures of the State, o large in. creaso in tho taxation, and such a goneral exhibition of incompotency, oxtravagance, and ignorance, that thore was nn universal demand for the adjournmont of the ** Fools' Legislaturo.” That is the ** prestige” under which the Democrats of Indisua will go before tho peoplo asking that the affairs of the whole couutry, and especially the business of re- form, and * rotrenchment and economy,” bo placed in their hands. Taking the Yecont Democratic Logislature of Indinna s an in. dication of the whole, how can Mr, HoLsan toll the people of that Btate that the Demo- cratio party is “logically the party of re- form"? How was it in other Btates? In Illinoiss) the Democrate swallowed a handful of Inde. pendents and made the Leglalature Demo- cratie, 1n the history of this State, there {s no record of 80 contemptible and worthless s Loglalature as that of last winter, Therels not a respectable Demoerat in NMlinois who was not ashamed of the ures to which the party applied the power tomporarily in their liands. Wo undorstand that the last Legisla.' ture in Ohio, which was nlso Democratic, waa oxtravagant, reckless, blundering, and con. temptible. It reformed nothing nnd loft an ovil prestigo behind it, The presont City Governmont of Chicago is mninly in Demo- eratic hands, and n protty mess thoy aro making of it, Tho fact is tho Domocratio party is not fit at this timo to govern snything,—from the nation down toa village. It has no loaders who can control the incongruous and dis. cordant clements of wlhich it is composed. Its numerical strength is tho resultof 8 combina. tion of tho outs and disaffected. It iant pres- ent mado np of ex-Republicans, ex-Liborals, ex-Whigs, ex-Abolitionists, and largely of ox- Rebels. Theso have no common poliey or principle. It is a combination of factions, nnd ench faction liberally oflicered by doma- gogues. In Indiang, DaX Voonners makes the most noise, and Iorvax and Hexpricss and the others pipe their tunes so s to keep in harmony with Dan. In Ohlo, tha rag- money swindlors draw their inspiration from pig-iron KgLuev, of Peunsylvania, In Mis. souri, the Democracy, which onco delighted to call Toxt Bexrox * Old Bullion,” now wor- ship o Boay in the shape of a shinplastor. In Pennsylvania, the Democralie Legislaturo made use of their accidental majority to elect the Vice-Presidont of "Foa Scorr's subsidy achemes to the United States Sennte. In Connecticut, the Democratio Legislaturo mado uso of their necidental majority to elect to tho Benate a man who swears ho has no country, aud never had, and that his allegi- noce, snch o8 it is, is due only to the ** Sov. ercign State ” of Connecticut. If such bo the fruits of temporary Domo- cratio victories, what may be expeeted from a national success of the same party? In the noxt Congress a mnjority of the Democrats will beliove in ** Stato Sovereignty," dony that there is a National Government, and will insist on tho supremacy of tho States, Itis moro than likely they will bogin business by electing a Pennsylvania Protectionist Speaker, and that the retronchment and reform will consist of an increase of the tariff and an inflation of the currency. 'The Democratic party has not a single principle on which it can unite, except to get into offico and make a8 much monoy in heundling the spoils as is possible during a single torm. o claim that o porty thus illustrated by its acts, and thus constituted of irreconcilable features, led by sectional demagogucs, is ** logically the party of reform," is one of those nbsurd statements which require considorablo brass, aud indicate stroug desperation. PROTECTION AND REVENUE, The Chicngo Zimes rarely discusses any question of political consequonce, excopt in the slang-whang style of bold assertion and denucistion. It yesterdny undertook to discuss tho tariff, and in its usual crude style thus defined ‘¢ protection " and * revenue “0ur arifY systom doos not lavy taxes for protec- tlon, Lut for revenuo with prokction s an fncidental result,” says & prolectionist newspaper. “That is what ought to bo done,” says s nowspsper that pro- feaace Lo advocate free trado, Thatls what ought not to ba dane, sayw the Tymiew, and for the Mmple raason that it cannot bo done, Thoe idess of vrotoction and revonuo aro mutually exclusive, Where protection begius rovenno onde, and vies versa, It s tho ex- citunon of tho taxed forolgn ariicle that constitutos protection. Bofarasit ls not excluded there s no prolection. o far xa it fa excluded thero {a no reve enue. Of courso protactlon can co-oxlat with importa- tion to somo oxtont, 8o far as Importation is cuy off thore fa protoction, Bofar as 1% goes ou thers ia reve enus without protection, 1t is trenting this mildly to say that it is es- sentially nonsensical. Thore canbo no duties lovied upon any imported articlo of a kind also produced in this country which are not protoctivo in wome degree. The articlo of sugar is an example. Weo import annually sugar to the valuo say of one hundred mill- ions of dollars, and we collect an avernge duty of 40 per cent. 'Wo produce in this country o compnratively small amount of sugar. Tho proportion of the home product is so small that o duty on sugar is substantielly and practically a tax for revenue, It amounts to uenrly oue-fourth of the wholo customs reve- nue of the United States, Nevertholess it is ulso protoctive, becauso it enables the home producer to ndd the 40 per cont tax to the prico of his own sugars. Hore is then a tax thnt s protective, and also 8 tax for rovenuo. In the case of colton manufactures, any tax, whether it be 1 or 50 por cont, is protective ; and in the caso of tho highor rate the revenue s an inci- dont of the tax. ‘Chis tax, howover, can be arranged so a8 to Le wholly protective. A tax of GO per cent would be prohitory as well o8 protective were it not for the avarico of the protected class, They invariably advance their prices so close to those at which the f. ported goods, with tariff sdded, can be sold for, that the latter are bronght in and sold in compotition, But the tariff on cotton goods may be mnde also a tarif for rovenue. ‘That rato of tux which does not discourage impor- tation ia a tax for revenue, with such protec- tion s is incidental. Thus our present tax on cotton goods is, with the incidence, about 40 per cent; aud is therefore noarly prohib. itive; but if that tax wero reduced®to 25 per cent, it would so largely increase tho rev- enue that the protection would become mercly incidontal, instead of boing the chief purpose of the tax. ‘I'ho end sought by a protective tariff is not prohibition, but the bounty, Under a tax on cotton goods of 40 per cent, our manufactur- ors ought to be able to have a monopoly of the market. But protection has its poualties. Itlargely inereascs the coutdf evory production it protocts. If tho cotton thanufacturer, pro- tected by o tax of 40 per cent, would add 16 or 20 per cont ouly to tho prices at which, in the nbsenco of wuch tax, foreign goods could be imported and sold for, the home product would command an exclusive market. But when the price of the domestio product iy advanced so nrar that at which the foreign goods, plus tho tariff, may beimported and sold as to leave but a emall margin of differ. ence,then the foroign goods are brought in and sold in direct competition. The end songht by protection s *profit,”—that {a to say, to make the most mouey upon the least amount of production. The object is to make a8 much profit on 1,000 yards of cotton cloth a4 under ecircumstances of ordinary fair profit they ought to make on 8,000 or 5,000 yards. It costs less to pro- duce 1,000 yards than three or five times that amount, and protection is sought to ensble them to get na much for the Jess quantity as they, in the absonce of protection, could get for the greater. 4 A tax, therefore, on imports may be a tax that yielda much revenue, with incidental protection ; a tax for protection may permit the collection of some revenus, A tax of 23 or 24 por cont on cotton and woolen goods would be & revenue tax, with inevitable pro- tegtion o the extent of the tax, Ataxon tea and calles, and on artisles auch s are not produced in this country, would bo a revenue tax unmixed with pro- tection. Great Dritain has a tariff of this kind ns nearly as possible, but even Great Britain hina to include tnx on spirits, which aro also an articlo of home production, and therofore protective. IFreo trade docs nob admit of any tax on impcrts, and is thore- foro not & measuro either for revenne or pro. toation. Tho Z%mes scoms to think other wise, for it snyn: Tl catcli-phraso of ** rovenus with Incldental pro- tection ” 1 the most delustvo of tho fuventions by which tho protectionista humbug and pluck te people, 1If tho sonnduess of the doctrina ombodisd In that phrase Is couceded, they will ask no mors. fn our day none of the friends of the piracy ayslom ara bold enough to advocate prohibition oponty, They profesn to o friends of commerce, and talk only of incidental protection, The ground cannot be yielded tothem, Trotection always moans moro or less pro- hibitlon, oF protoction more or leas complote, It means obstruiction to commorce, 1t 18 in its naturo utterly aud irreconctlably autagoniatio to free trado, and no free-trader who undoratands (he subject wil} adnit for & moment that the two things can over harmonize or coexist. If tho Times favors ** free trade,” then it is immaterinl to it whethor the tariff be for rovenus or protective. Thera can be no tarif under freo trade, nud therefore no rovenue and no protection, Wo do not advo- cato thenbolition of all tariff taxation, But wo proposo that the tarill be so framed ns to have for ita solo purposen revenue to thoTrensury, Auy tnx for any other purpose is robbery. It if in levyingsuch atax on imports as will produce the lnrgest amonnt of revenus any porson shall bo incidentally or na a conso- quenco benefited in his own business, that furnishes no objection to the tax. Ocean and land frcights, insurance, brokerage, and cartngo furnish incidontal protoction to home manufacturors, Buch protection is unavoid- ablo, and that rate of tariff caleulatod and do- vised to produce the largest amount of rovenue must also afford incidental pratec- tion. To dony this is to assume an absurd puosition, Gen. Suknuax will probably have his hands full with tho controversios that have grown out of the publication of his ** Memoirs,” Tt would have beon impossible to publish any book of the kind without treading on some- bouy's toes and hurting somebody’s feolings; hnrdly possiblo without making some mis- takes and doing somo injustice. But cer- tainly Gen. Snensay is entitled to the crodit of n caroful and laborions effort to achieve accuracy of statdmont, and ho should not be lightly chargod with carolessnoss, which is the very opposite of the military charncter- istic of the man and his book. A rocont in- stance of tho anxioty in certain quarters to give the *‘ Momoirs ” & reputation for inac- curacy appeared in the Chicago Tlimes a fow days ago, which referred to Gen. Suenuan's remark that * Gen. Graxt did not make an offfcial report of the Battlo of Shiloh.” The Times then proceeded to quoto at lemgth from a letter written by Gon. GranT on or about the day of tho bnttle, A representn- tivo of Tne TRIDUNE wad put in communica- tion with Gen. SurrMAN to nacortain his view of tho matter, and it was found that he did not regard this lotter ns in any senso an official report; and, in confirmation of this opinion, ho referred toa printed document ontitled ** Battlos of Pittsburg Landing (Sen, Ex. Doc, No. G6: Thirty-soventh Congress, Becond Session). This voluma contains ol tho documonts which the Secretary of War (ALr. BranToN) was able to transmit to the Senate in answor to a resolution of that body calling for them. In n lottor transmitting the same, the Becretary wrote: ‘‘In answer to the resolution of the Sennte calling for the copics of all officinl renorts from all officers in command rolating to s recent battles of Pittsburg Landing, I bave the honor to transmit herowith all the reports (onoe hun- dred and sixtecen in numboer) indicated by tho resolution which have yet' been re- ccived by this Department.” This docu- ment contains Gen, Buewy's roport, and also roporta from fifty-four of the subordinates in the Army of the Cumberland. It also con- tains fifty-cight reporis from subordinate Commandera of the Army of the Tenncasco, but none from Gen. Granr. This document is official, and shows conclusively that the Seerotary of War had no report from Gen. Gnant which he regarded ns officfal. This {s cortainly full warrant for the assertion made by'Gen. SmermaN, and we havo still other reasons for belioving that it s ontirely correct, An investigation into the cnuses of the Schiller disastor has beon kold under the aus- picos of the British Board of Trade, and the Committeo has found that the torrible co- lamity was the diroct result of a neglect of ordinary precautions in approaching shore, o8 pointed out in the standard directions for approsching thoe British Channel, and the rules of the Engle line. Both these instruc. tions to commanders insist upon the neces. sity of freely throwing tho load inm thick wenther, which wes not done, The steamer had got out of ity rockoning, but the casting of tho lead before tha final changing of the courso would have rovealed the error and the proximity to danger, and would probably have averted tho disaster, It scoms strange that so flagrant and gross & picee of caraloss- ness should ocour on & regular pnasenger atepmship, especially in viow of tho fearful consequonces it might and did entail, The Grangers of Californis hiave gone into the buslueas of traneportation systomatically, and with more vin than bag beon exhibited by any similar organization on this side the locky Mountains.
