The disaster at Worcester was of & sort which, until very recently, hins been of very rare cocurronco in this country. 'Uhe water- works dam ncross the Lynde Brook, n stono |' and piling structuro buitt thirteen yenrs sinco and fivo yeans ngo rebuilt auds rafsed 19 feot, and backing up an immense volumo of water, gave way before the pressuro of- tho Into floods. 'Tho vaat torrent it held back rushed down a narrow valley, sweeping all beforo it, and in a stratch of 9 miles tearing away four other dams, ench of which added to the volumoof destroying waters. Mills, factories, dwollings, and outhonses, stone, brick, and frame structures, wont down be- foro tho resistless flood like card-hoaps or were dashed away like mero straws. Tho de- struction of property was great, but fortanate- 1y warning was givon in timo nnd but three lives wore lost. Within the last two yenrs similardisastors havo twico oconrrod not far ro- mote from the sconc of the prosout catastro- pho, and these wero attendod with loss of lifo and much sufforing. -Throughout New En- gland, where the water-power hag been care- fully utilized, and to n Iessor extont in many other quarters of the country, the liko calam- ities aro possiblo, Whothoer thero is poril of their occurrenco is not known, and is pre- ciroly what should bo investigated. There is no chance-work abont disasters such ns these. In the prosont tato of engineering scionce, thoy aro only possible through dishonest, cheap construction or criminal negligence. The requisite rosistant power for such structures as that at Worcester can be closely calculnted, as can the height to which thoy can safely bo constructed and the strength of tho materinl used. 'The immediate cause of tho Worcoster disaster hias not yet been made publie. But whatover it may have been, tho nctual cause will be found to have been guilty mnogligence, mora guilty niggardliness, or still more culpable blundering ignorance. It is a repronch upon us that eithor of these could fotch upon com- 1munity such ealamitics ng it is that thoy shonld lead to slanghter on railroads and through boiler explosions ns they do. Some legal re- straints have been imposed to guard againat these latter, but against such as that at Wor- cecter the public seems to have boen left wholly unprotocted. It is season for the on- actmont of statutes that will provide against guch peril by rigorous inspection of dams across water-courses, oud requiring the strengthening or removal of oll rotten or un. safo strootures of such sort. That is o last the onlymoral of practical value to draw from the Worcester disaster, and, if not promptly actod upon, it will bo lost. ‘Wentwontit and Mr. MoAvrey, and now the Eightoenth, the presont constituoncy of tha gambler ConcorAN, puils np two ndmirable nomiantions in the persons of Mlessrs, Janrs 8.

This question was discussed at n vory oarly dnto. In 1824 tho Stato of New York passed an act, the first section of which required tho Master of every ship ariving in the United Btates to filo with the Mayor a list of all his passengers, stating ngo, sex, uame, provious rosidence, ote,, and jjnposing o ponalty of $75 for cach passonger not so reported. It also roquired tho Master to give bond to save the city harmless from all expense of support and maintenance of such passonger. A Master of a vossel was sued for not making this report, and the caso eventually reaching tho Supremo Court, that body decided, Jus- tice Stony alono dissenting, that the statute was within tho polico power of the State, and wasg not unconstitational. Many years later, tho quostion camo up to tho Supremo Court again, Tho Stato law directed the Iealth Commissioner to demand andena for and recover from tho Master of evory vessel arriving in New York from o foreign port $1.50 for each cabin passenger, and $1 from onch steerago passenger, and from tho Master of onch coasting vessol 26 centa for ench pnssonger. Tho Mnstor of a British ship refused to pay $3.95 for ay many steoroge pnssengers, and o judgment was rendored ngninst him, In Janvary, 1849, the Supreme Court held that this act of the Stato of Now York was ‘‘ropugnant to tho Con- stitation aud laws of the United States,” and theroforo void. Now York, however, medi- fiod the law 60 a8 to roquiro of tho ownor of overy vessel lauding passongers from a foraign port to. make a roport of all the passengers, and to give bond in tho sum of $808 for each passonger to indemnify the authorities against any expenso for the roliof of such passengers for four years; but tho vessel-owner may commute for snch bond by poying within twenty-four hours $L50 for ench passenger, The Stato of Louisinna and the Btate of California have similar laws. In tho cases decided in 1849 (thero wora casos both from Now York and Boston), the decision was made by a baro mnjority of the Court,—MdLean, Warxe, Oarnon, MoKin. e, and Grurzn holding the Not York laws to be unconstititional, while Taxey, Daxrer, Nrxson, and Wooonusy held them valid. ‘The authority of the decizion was weakened bocause of tho varioty of opinions, no less than eoight out of the nine Judges giving dif- foront rensons, The question was now brought up {othe Court apon cases from Louisiann, Now Yorlk, and California, and the Court now, by an unanimous decision, holds that all snch laws aro rogulstions of commerco with foreign notions, and aro void bocause beyond the nuthority of tho States. Wo print the opin. fon of the Court.as delivered by Judge Mrren, It sottles this matter flnally, It denies to the Btates any authority to control the passengor trade by taxing the vessels or tho passengers. ‘Tho Court exproas the opin- fon that Congross can beat exorciso this pow- er by the ennotmont of a goneral law, Tho Court say that they do not decide whathor in the absenco of any not of Congress the States can, or how fur they can, by appropri- ato legislation protect thomsolves against actanl paupers, vagrants, oriminals, und ‘dis. eased persons arriving from foroign coun- trien.

Greenbacks at the New York Gold Ex- change yomardny closed at 871 Mr. Monton's Mississippi resolutions were yesterdny adopted in tho modificd form ad- vocated by Mr. CanisTiancy, in spite of the attempt of the Democratio Sonators to delay avote and stave off ‘the investigation of tho intimidation nnd violonco by which their ‘White-Lino brethren in Mississippi wore on- sbled to *overcomo” tho nogro vote and carry tho election last fall. THE VERDICT IN THE WHISKY OABE, Tho verlict in tho cnse of Pamraan and’ Rusr practically determines the question whethor the distillers who have rofused to pload guilty can expect acquittance for thair guilt on tho ground that certain of the wit- nosses have sought to socure somo lenien cy by confessing their own guilt. The vordict monns that esch man is to ba tried on the fact of }his own guilt and not upon the guilt of others. No one can read the evidenos in this caso without roachiog an absolute con- viction that the sccused were guilty of dis- honosty in the transaction of their business. The testimony \wos overwhelming and di- roct. The persons wero acoused of geveral distinot acts of fraud. The jary acquitted them of sovoral of thesa specific allogations and oconvicted thom of others. In this the jury exercisod their right of judging of tho credibility to be attached to tho testimony of ench witness, The indictment contained six counts, ench reciting a distinet offensa. The verdict attosts the unanimous judgment of guilt on four counts, and a disagreement, onding in an acquittal, on the other counta. How far this acquittal was duo to the want of foith in tho witnosscs who testified to the facts recited in theso counts is only known to the jurors ; but ng tho evidonco was clear and direct it may bo assumed that at least part of the jury vefused to credit it, and that the other jurors consonted to a verdiot of guilt on the romaining four comnts only. There can ba but ono opinion as to the Iabors of Mr. Srorns. The evidence against his clients was, 04 n whole, of o character that might woll bo dsomed irresistible. It was not to be shaken by ordinary skill and Iobor, Mr, Bronns, however, attacked it bravely, and, thongh Le was barron of evidence going to tho merits, he made a powerful do- fense. 'The acquittal on the two counts was unquestionably duo to his vigorous arraign. ment of the witnesses ; that ks was not more successful was duoc to the overwhelming character of the evidenca. In these observations we have reference more partioularly o tho cases of tha di tillers aud rectifiers, and to perhaps nearly all the revonus officors. Thers may be, how- ever, some caso whero the circumstances are of s difforent olass. This jury hos determin. od, as tho Court had aald they might do, that the testimony af a witneas waa not to be discrodited on the more ground that such witness had been also indicted, and had plead- ed guilty, and had an implicd or expressed understanding that ho was to be treated more leniently than otherwise because of his being o witnoss, This s the lesson of the verdict, and the aceused, who have looked to this trial in the hope that it wounld' declare that no guilty man should be convicted upon the tos- timony of others who, engaged in the same business, have voluntarily eonfesssd thair gullt, are justly disappointed. — The beer and ale browors of the United Btates have long protested sgainst the injus. tico of n ruling by the Commissioner of In- ternal Rovenue, compelling thom to pay tax on the qunntity of material used instend ;of the quantity of actual product. To remedy the wrong and relievo tho brewers a bill was yesterdoy passed by the House specifying dis- tinctly that tho tax shall bo imposed upon ths hasis of tho manufactured product. NEW YORK'S FAVORITE fON, - Mr. CoxgiNa is pre-ominently the Sonator who enjoya to tho full tho advantnges result- ing from the command of patronage, and ag .a result has attained the wutmost conse- .quenca sttainable under tho spoils-systom by dispensation of patronage. Since Fexton'a bolt, upon the GreErsY movemont, to be suc- ceedod by & Democrat, Cownuxo has had o monopoly of the patronnge. in New York. As o professed third-termer until it becamo sbsolutely ludicrous to even affect to believe o third-term poasible, ho sought favor at. tho White House and crooked the prognant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning to more purposo than any of tho other of the servile self-seckers who thronged thero to got, by hook or arook, their slices of tho bread ond buttor. o has, as well, been ono of the most zoalous sticklers for that exclusive high prerogative of United States Senators, of peddling tho entire patronnge of their States from the Custom-Houscs to the cross-roads Post-Offices, '[ho resnlt of it all ia that ho controls the appointments in a State whore thesa are nearly equal those of nny four States beside, and haa built up an office- holding phalanx numbering sevoral thousand tried workers of loug oxperioncs in running the political machine, and whoas broad and butter is dopendent upon him. Thess henchmen and mercenarics of his it was who, undor his command, packed tho Convention at Byracuse, and placed Coxxrine in nomination for tho Bresidency, under tho gag putting through a resotution which they would have construed as Binding the Now Yorl delegation as a body to nnswerving sup- port of his candidacy before the Oincinnati Convention, While that this was possiblo {un disgraceful oxhibition of rottenncss of tho spoils-gystorn, the failuro of tho Conzriva offlcc-holdars’ programme iy an encouraging demonstration that the wpoils-system has been pushed to its ntmost limits, and that where it is most powerful it cannot avall sgainat docency and honest intelligenco. The Now York delegation was, indeed, quan instructed to support Conrrmg for the Presi- dendy. But how it was done, the con. struction that will be placed upon it by the delogntes themselves, and what littlo effect it will have, is beat told by Gronar Winrran Cuutts, who in the Convention led the oppo- sition to the Conxrrng strikers, in his edito- rial in the last lssue ‘of Harper's Weekly. Ho says: The New York delegation will, indeed, go to ths Coavention perfectly fros Lo Yote according ta the cone victions of its members, but tho cause of the party it- selt and of Lonest popular government hus yalned & great triumph, Ths result st Byracuse has shown to TRepublicans everywhare, and to all who deplore a Democratia restoration sa a national calamity, that the ofice-holding interest, which rules the party by * tha machine,” can bebrought fo terms oven in ita strong- et hold, and thal the fntelligont and independent voters of the party, who are indispensablo (o ite suc- ceas, have but 10 assert thomeelves resolutely to atfect tha party actloni. o o o .

The President having detailod Liout.-Col. Mrrnrrr, of tho Ninth Covalry, to examine and report upon the cause of tho oxhaustion of the appropria- tion for the eubsistenco of the Sionx Indians for tho present fiscal year, ho hasenado his report. He had no difficulty in ascertaining that thero was o deficiency, but as to its canse he is puzzled, partly because the recent Agent loft the records in such shapa that “no follow oax find them out,” and partly because the Indiang themselvos are quite as full of ways that aro dark and tricks that are vain as tho Agents themsalves. In point of fact, their manner of onumorating themselves as a basis for subsistenca would not do discredit to a Bt. Louis directory man estimating basis for population. Col. Mzunrrz went out with very’ doefinite instructions, and he found chnos and returnod with the conviction that thoy must know more nbout the dofleioucy in Washington than he could find out at the Agency, The records of tho lats Agent, Dr. BaviLLe, were oither lost, destroyed, or carried away,— probably all three, This much he discovered. Ho also found out some other cheerful facts ~—that there were no quarterly returna of pupplies, no written reports Lopt, and no proper consus of the Indians, and when he proposed to cound the Indians he was in. formed that there were not military foroes suficient in that nelghborhood to accomplish that arithmetical operation. The Agents hithorto having had some regard for their scalps, more in fact than thoy have had for honesty, appear to lave estimated the num- ber of Indians by the number of lodges, which is about as dofinits as it would be to catimate the number of Christiane in Chicago by the numbor of churches, Theso rough estimates have sometimes answered the pur- pose, and, when they have not, then the Indinns themselves have kindly furnished their own numbers in a very unique way, and in & monner which seems to indlcate that swindling, like lying, {u as natural to the un- tutored savage as to Becretaries of War or railrond claim-agenta. It appears that thess enumorations dopend entirely upon the amount of supplios on hand and the charac. ter of the weather. When tha Indiana have plonty, thoy are not particular about thelr number or their supplies, They sro content with what they have until it {8 gono. At such times the Agent takes a hand in and improves the shining hours by drawing sup- plies for imaginary loss, whivh he aubue. quently turns to good account.
