SUNDAY, OCTOBER 293, 18S. ‘Tue Steamer Clan Macduff, from. Liver- ool ior Bombay, foundered off the Welsh evast Thursday night. Three of the crew managed to make their way to the shore, but ‘he others, thirty-six in number, are sup- posed to have perished. ax Leicn Ropinson, a young Washineton lawyer, has been assigned by Judge Cox to assist Scoville in. defending Guiteatl. Mr. Robinson is an enthusiast in his profession. He is a native of Virginia, the son of Con- way Robinson, a rather noted Democratic politician of that State. ‘THERE are now sume 200 vessels storm- dound on the Frith of Forth, off the Scotland coast. Of these twelve are large sea-going steamers. Many of the vessels have lost all their canyas, and some of them have been partially dismasted. Much wreckage has come ashore in the vicinity of Dundee. . THE following, among other nominations, were contirmed by thé. Senute yesterday: Capt. Montgomery Sicard, Chief of the Bu- reau of Ordnance of the Navy Department; Capt. John G. Walker, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation; Commodores James Hi. Spotts and James A. W. Nicholson to be Kear-Ad- mirais; Capts. Samuel R. Franklin, Edward ¥. McCauley, and John C. De Kerafft to be Commodores. ‘ NorwirusTaNnDine the fight made on him by ex-Senator McDonald, of Indiana, Col. Dudley was yesterday contirmed as Commis- sloner of Pensions by a goodly majority. The reasons urged against his confirmation ‘ere reasons why he should be contirmed —at least the majority of the Senators thought 30, and acted accordingly. Ex-Senator Me- Donald’s attempt to revenge his own defeat Tor regleenon has been a miserable failure. oF ——_—__— Cart. HoweaTs was arraigned in the Criminal Court at Washington yesterday.on thecnarge of embezzlement. He pleaded not guilty, and was committed to jail in de- Jault of $30,000 bail. His counsel promised to ‘prodace the bondsmen on Mondar {to- morrow). The District-Attorney said the amount which’the indictment charges: How- gate with embezzling is $91,000, and he vouch- safed the information that Howgate has been __ Indicted by the District grand jury for for- * Berye ‘ ASSISTANT PosTMASTER-GENERAL TYNE foes not intend to resign until he has fully axplained to the President how much abused he fs, how he is the victim of circumstances over which he had no*control, and how gen- erally heis misunderstood by the public at Jorge. Mr. Tyner says about bis much-: talked-of report on star-route frauds that be did not suppress that report, that on the con- he presented it to Postumaster-Generat Key, -who told him to lock@t up, as its publi- cation might injure the party; that President Tayes was fully aware of its existence, but did not wish it published for thesamereasons which Judge Key put forward. ©! Mr.. ‘Tyner alleges, moreover, that he presented the report to Postmaster-General James soon after that gentleman’s appointment as head of the Post-Office Department, and that Col. James has based all his proceedings against the star-route ring on the report. In fact, if Mr. Tyner—or, rather, Mr. Tyner’3: friends—are to be believed, he is a much-injured, much- abused, and much-sulfering individual, and, far from deserving censure and dismissal, he deserves sympathy and support. =———, ‘Tie Ninth Massachusetts Regiment, com- posed almost exclusively of Lrish-American Democrats, and containing among its officers three Hancock Electers, is not over-well pleased with the treatment it received at the hands of the Virginians in Richmond and Yorktown during the ‘past week. Senator “Hamburg” Butler and several prominent Southern Democrats have charged that the men conducted themselves disgracefully, but Gen. flancock says that he had nu reason to complain of their conduct; that they be- haved justas. well as the wilitiamen from the other States. The Ninth Massachusetts Was known during the late unpleasantness asthe “Fighting Ninth,” and behaved then ina way not at all pleasing to Senator But- ler ana those who acted with hiw, which may account for Butler's remarks. = ooh to gu temporarily out Mr, Brarne i; ‘of public life at the instigation of some of his political opponents, - ‘Lhe ex-Senator from Maine and present Secretary of State may havea leaf turned down in Benton’s “Thirty Years’ View,” in the chapter relat- ing to-The Rejection of Mr. Van Buren, Minister to England.” ‘The following inter- esting private conversation in the Senate, when thq vote was declared, is thus reported by Benton: ° Ic was Mr. Gabriel Moore. of Alabama, who sat near me and to whom I said, woen the vote was declared: * a Minister und elected Vice- He asked bow? And Ituld him the people would sve nothing in it but ucombination of rivals against. 2 competitor, and would gull them all down and get nim up. “Good God!" said be, “why didn't yeu tell me that before. voted and I would bare yuied the other Way.” The opponents of Vath Buren, in rejecting him as Ministerto Engtund, it was afterwards demonstrated, not only elected a Vice-Presi- dent but a President. 2 Wuerte the science of acronauties has wmanently sained in disnity or usefulness by tending itself to the purposes of a cheap advertisement remains to be seen; but it. may be aduitied tat this was nut we end the Montgultiers had in view when they made the first balloon ascension. ‘There has been little or ne progress frum that day to uils in ballooning: Men have learned how to construct better balloons and to keep they afluat longer, buf they have not learned. to make prac.ical voyages in the air. ‘The best the skillful aerunaut can hope to«do under favurable circumstances is tp astonish the natives in reinote. country: villages: and land somewhere on dry ground without breaking his own- neck. Under adverse circumstances they cannot expect to. do even so much as this. The late expedi.ion of Prof. King was awortity.ng confession of the inutility of balloon. adventures. It was throughout simply an exhivition of charlatanry; it did no pussivle good to anybody except to an enter- prising firm of clothiers, and it did not quite escupe the suspicion of deliberate impusture, at least so faras the mysterious disappear- ance of the voyagers wus concerned... Even as an advertisement the only feature of the expedition worthy of notice was its novehy; and this would svvn be lost if the attempt Were often repeated. The public would be apt before long to resent the effort to attract attention by such means, and: would proteet itself by taking refugein complete indifference as to what Should become of an advertiswg balloon or any of its foulhardy occupants. —_—_—— THE Republican County Convention which is to meet Tuesday will haye an easy time in nominatmg the few officers to be clivsen. Judge Gary, of course, will have no opposi- Uon, and “Jack” Stephens, the Clerk of we Criminal Court, is likely to be renominated, Without much effort on his part. The really important nominations are those of two County Commissioners for the Suuth Side. One of the outgouig Commissioners, Mr. Stewart, is not a candidate fur re@lection, and the other, Mr. Coburn, is not strougly sup- ported by the Republicans of the Soutn Side. There is a {eelmg, tuo, that the board would be the better foran infusion of new bluod, and that without it the Republican party may have occasion ‘to regret that it~ has. a solid vote in that body. «Among the’ candidates who have been mentioned prominently in tne newspapers are ex-Ald. D. K. Pearsons, ex-Ald. J. 1. GUbert, and Mr. Mihter, of the wholesale srocery firm of Farwell, Miller & Co. These areull clean and reputable men, and could be depended upon to represent the interests of their constituents worthily. . Messrs. “Pearson and Gilgert have the advantage of experience of municipal affairs. The turmer is, indeed, almost an ideal candidate, having large property interests in and out of the county, abundant Ivisure, and-a practical bhsiness experience. We are well aware that in times past eo has been classed as a Deniocrat, but ‘his party afliliations have never prevented him from being,a good citizen and would -not interfere, with his usefulness in the County Buard. Mr. Pear- sons does. not want the office, and he would have to be strongly. urged to take it; but if he should consent to bea candidate he would add wuch to the strength of the ticket, and “would himself command the votes ot tax- Payers almost without distinction of party. JuDGE Moran intimated in his speech at the Irish meeting Wednesday night that the recent. demoustranon of English sympathy with America was insincere, and designed to |. draw away the hearts of the people from. the Irish cause. The thought of the English was, as Judge Moran expressed it, that by professing sorrow for the death of President Garfield they might “seduce” the American people into takmg a wrong view of the Lrish question, If any such expectation as this was furmed it will, of. course, be disap- vointed. It is possibly ungracious, and as a rule itis unsafe to-iinpute motives to any- body, and most of ali to a great ‘nation that has many sincere friends of America in its midst, us wé have-good reason to know.. But a curious’ side-light.,is thrown upon Judge Moran’s statement by an editorial article that recently appeaged In the Toronto |.

The South Park Commission consists now -of Messrs. John R. Walsh, Bernard Callaghan, Martin Russell, John B. Sherman, and Paul Cornell. Mr. Cornell is. the only man ov the board who is regarded as a Republican, . Mr. Sher- man, perhaps, is nota very good Democrat, but it is understood: that he rarely at- tends the meetings of the board. Messrs. Walsh, Callaghan, and Russell are all Demo- crats of the mast pronounced character, ard control the buard. In fact, the board may be said to be unanimously Democratic, since Mr. Russell, the Auditor, is understood to “run things” as ho'pleases, while Messrs. Walsh and Callaghan, associate Democratic Commissioners, are called in—their- offices being convenient—to give the sane- tion of the majority to Mr. Russell’s work. At all events, the board is thorough- ly Democratic, “Hence it is easy to under- Stand how the name “ Jackson” came to ba given to one of the South Parks, and why the people are In doubt whether it was called after Gen. Andrew Jackson, the sponsor of the spoils system in American politics, or after Gen. “ Stonewall ” Juck- son, the idol of the Confederates. The Democratic Board. of Commissioners must recognize the uniitness of this designa- tion, especially as associated with the name of Washington, which has been given to the other of the South Parks, and they can well afford to forego this partisan naine in defer- ence to public sentiment. American history does not place Gen, Jackson uvon the sane plane with Washington, ‘the Father of his Country”; but there is one man, contempo- raneous with Washington, with whose name Washington himself would be detighted to have his own connected in any man- uer. We refer to Benjamin Franklin, He was a scientist, a diplomat, # political econ- omist, a statesman, and a patriot whose name will always give lustre to anything which itadorns. If one of thé South Parks is to be called ‘* Washington Park,” it would be eminently fitting to call the other “ Frank- lin Park.” There would then be no doubt in the minds of the people after whom the East Park had been named, and no reg.et that a partisan buard had afflicted the people of Chicago with a partisan name for one of their principal pleasure-grounds. Messrs. Walsh, Callaghan, and Russell ought to re- consider this matter, and, if they neglect to do it, Messrs.Sherman and Cornell’ ought for once to assert themselves. The system of parks should continue to be known as the South Parks, under whivh general name they are already familiar to the whole country. THE COLIURE OF DISEASE « A remarkuble incident happened at the great Medical Congress lately held at Lon- dun, and attended by the most eminent med- ical men of all civilized-countries, When the President of the congress in his inaugu- ral spoke of Pasteur, his learned audience leaped to their feet, and, acting more like an American political convention stampeding with a “dark horse” than the grave and scientific body they were, cheered and cheered, again and again.. In this acclaim tothe quiet-lookig Frenchman” who sat on the platform, these doctors only has- tened the popular recognition of a man who will unquestionably be known as the greatest benefactor of: his age. Pas- teur. began in a. quiet Parisian labora- tory with the study of gerins in yeast, passed on:to the great discovery that. the zymotic plagues that ravage mankind are the work of germs, and is at this moment cappng bis wonderful achievements . with the discovery that many and perhaps all of this class of diseases can, like small-pox, be prevented by vaccinuhon. Jenner won im- mortal gratitude by the discovery of vac- cination for’ sinall-pox; but, where Jen- ner found out a fact, Pasteur has discovered a law—the Newtonian law of the world of disease. In anozher col- uh we print a statement gathéYed from varivus Sources of just what bas been done by Pasteur and the gifted and devoted scientists of various uaiionalities who have. followed his lead. Splenic fever, or the plague of boils among men and cattle, chicken cholera, aguer malarial fever, con- sulnption, smatt-pox, diphtheria, and hydro- phobia—these diseases have been scientifeal- ly.proved by Pasteur and those who have taken up his line of experiment to be the depredations of germs. - We owe to two Amer- icans, Prof. U, C. Wood and Dr. Henry F. Formad, the discovery made latest of all, that diphtheria isa germ disease, Vaccina- tion has already been proved to be 2 prevent ivg'df small-pox, of splenic fever, of chicken cholera, of pig typhoid, and of hydrophobia in ‘sheep and goat. Lester, whose anti- septic surgery is a grand application of Pas-, teur’s ideas, believes that the remedy of vac- cination, which has been so efficacious ip some of these’ geri diseases, will -soon be successfully applied to measles, scarlet-tever, and others, and scores of enthusiastic inves- tigators are at work in different parts of the world to realize what is now more than a hope. It seems that we are on the eve of universal vaccination, and that. the day is at. hand ‘which “has been go longed for .by scientific men who could not belfeve that only small-péx could be prevent- ed by innoculation, the day which. has been so prayed for by those who have seen one after another of their loved ones swept into the grave by diphtheria, scarlet-fever, or some other malady of the zymotic type. ‘Jhe saying that there are no solitary truths in Nature has a remarkable ‘confirmation in these researches. . ‘The processby which the 4 germs Of disease are fitted for innoculation is the same as that by which the: unwholesome and sometimes poisonous. wild ‘fruits and vegetables have been madé by generations of culture the delicious and ‘nourishing food they now are. These germs can -be cultivated, and so. modified that, like small-pox that has passed through ‘the cow, they may be introduced. into the blood with a beneficial instead of fatal effect. No chapter of, what is ordinarily called history is half su fascinating as the recital we give else- ; Where of the culture of these ‘deadly germs. By civutsing wer, it. is hoped and’ believed thatin all. cases of -zerm diseases, including hydrophobia and perhaps consumption, vac- cination may be fond to be the, cure it is al- ready known. to- befor some’ of thom. If this prove 80, will our éhildren have to spend a large partof their infancy in going through the dozen or more kinds of vaccination’ that will be needed? Perhaps Pasteur.and his school, who have done so much, will discover the mother germ of all, so’ that a single in- oculation will be a shield against all zymotic infection. oe S.nall-pox is raging in Chicago'at this mo- ment with unwonted fury. There are’ fears that this winter it may become epidemic. Its ravages are assisted, and the lives of thou- sands putin peril, by the resistance, active and passive, of a part of our foreign popula- don to vaccination and the isolation of the sufferers. We hope that the ‘political and other leaders of these miszuided people will inform them of the trie nature of-the deadly contazion they invite, and will induce then to abandon a theory of personal siberty that Ulreatens the liberty of every one around them with the horrors of the pest-house. aeeneronenen ena TRISH MOVE—NO RENT BRITISH CHECK — No Uct, 1 Lol N, EAGUE, ~ ‘The following is the| “Je EEaGe Laugd- League “No-| ‘The fuilowinye is the Kent" manitesto issued Queen's — prochuaution by Parnell und tho Ex-deeluring we No-Keut sea rive Quit: BS i Land League a treasou- y-Cheizbas: Thelabie ormuizatnon: _ hour to try your souls wnd| "yg preMeanons ty releeit sour yledzes| of Hetund—Prostdmettions hus arrived. ‘the becuase ns, Au asaucla: fivg of the National Landlcion styiurg jiself the trish fo wban-| National Lund 1ousue bas th Foals Gaundfexeeed,, fae ‘soiue | time ty udvise the tenane iirwi-|Pary' yan the Gaeen sates ers of treland - trom cols, jects in the free exercise duy Torth to pay no ren-sior thei luwtul thzbs, and dnder any ciredmstances}especiully wo control the becenele dats finguisacspemtons between. lund- the exis eerste uf ter-|igng: sna Tenants 1 thom Tourism ‘and restores the}! constitutional richis Os |yp eeeas, The designs fhe peoye..
