The facts which have been proved Before us witht dispute or orptradiction are as tol. dows —The Navy Depariment of the United States requir- fag ome thirty sidewheel light draught gunboats, pre- plans for the evgines and boilers of theee ves- called upon contractors to build their machinery mecord ng to these plane, under the superintendence of ‘Among others, Mr. Quintard ‘and boilers, ‘Te @ered according to specification, and the evidence of the wentiemen who furnished the iron, as well as of sbose ‘who bave tested samples of it sinoe the explosion of it, Shows, without, contradiction, that it was of the best qmality. The boilers were tested according to covtract, ‘with a cold water pressure, and endured sixty toeixty Live pounds to the square inch without yielding. Ihe braces were then examined and found jo be Borers were accepted by the United tes Inspector @s satis actory and faccording to contract. The engine ‘was then ron for ninety-eix boure at the deck, in order to comply with the contract, and the whole ma- @bine was aceopted by the government and deli- Yered out of the hande of the contractor The ship Qhen went into commission, and was proceeding to sea em ber first voyage in the charee of & youvg man by tbe name of Cahtli, a sec nd assietant engineer in the United States Navy, acting as chiel engineer on ‘this occasion, The verse! proceeded down -the bay, and ‘when below Governor's Island Captain Filiebrown visited ‘were Durning well, and that there wax no need to use the Diewers. The captain went on deck and did not return to ‘be engine room until the vessel was in the narrows, when be again went beiow. Up to this time the speed of veanel was between eight spd pine knots an bour. ‘The captain had a conversation with Mr. Cahill at the end ‘the cylinder—a long distance from t@® boliers—aod . Oabill told bim the engine was ruuning well. the carta then said that the verse) had about eleven miles more 10 go, and be went on deck, leaving Mr. Cabill by Bis desk at the cylluder end of the engine; and as he on deck the boiler exploded, scalding thirty-two men, of whom twenty-eight have since died from the llects of the injuries theo received The question now be- us i8, what was the cause of the rupture’ It appeare botlers are ruptured from two causes—one of which is @he gradual accumulation of pressure, unt the resisting if of the boiler is overcome ite weakest part and Kgives way, whbich is called a “burst” or “bursting;” ‘the other is the instantaneous generation of sa mitond low water, and which is calied ap ‘explosion The firet branch of the inquiry is whother the boiler Burst from wexkners of material, or a defect in its con- struction. when carrying the pressure of steam which it ‘wae intended to bear. We have the means of knowing exactly how much pressure was on the boilers im- japon before the explosion. The pressure war thirty- F and a half pounds to the ine, as shown by the indi ator card endorsed by Mr. Cabill himeelf; so that it was (made certain that if boiler did burst from weakness, 4% yreided to a pressure a littie more than one-half it bad @udured from the byaraulie prese, and five pounds less When jt had borne from the steam when running at the @eck for ninety-six hours, and when forty pounds to the ‘tech bad been carried. It is also proved by Mr. DeLuce, the hic! engineer of the Navy Yard, that he measured the safety valve immediately after the accident, and found ‘Mat would blow off steam at thirty-nine ands baif Pounds; #0 that the boiler was protected by that means See the possibility of a steam pressure equal to that ich already bad been used with safety. The question then, whether it is possible for a boiler to barst under A pressure of steam to day five pounds less than it en- @ured under steam yesterday, and twenty-five pounds Jeue than it endured from cold water last week. Qo this eject we bave the opinion of Mr. Maxon, the United boiler maker, who swore that he wou!d consider boiler perfectly safe to carry forty pounds after it had teated at sixty pounds of cold water, and it appears ‘What the statue law, under which all ger steamers @re run, permis the boilers to carry forty-five pounds to the inch after © cold water preesure of sixty, and hat the experience of mspy years has shown it te be safe. On the contrary, Mr. DeLuce aod Mr 1, United States engineers, and Mr. Rowland, ex- ree ‘the opinion that a boiler ‘is quite likely to burst wr @ much Jess pressure than ft bad been tested with gold water; and Mr. Rowland fixed the amount as low as Gfteen pounds to the inch in this case, and these wit. ‘@eeves are of opinion tbat the cold water test is of no tical value. It is wet suggested that there ie any r meane known of ineuring the safety of the boiler except this cold water test; and if these isolated opinions yRsspported by sny instance of the kind, are well nded, It is Obvious that BO one can be properly - ebay ith the consequences of an explosion, since no fuman kil! can make sure in advance that the required @trength existed: and Mt te equally obvious that all the ‘Wousands of boilers now running, and relying upon the safety of this test, are instruments of destruction, acting ‘pon rome capricious Impulse impossible to be foreseen, = likely to scatter death around them at any moment. tunately, however, experience proved that boilers 80 tested sre safe against any less pressure. No witness has Genied that this bojier was tested to sixty pounds; Bo witness has said that it was not strong enough to bear and the only suggestion e land this is merely a suggestion) is, either that some of braces had been removed by the engineers and not whereby the strength was diminished, or that fm testing the braces might have been reduced strength, #0 as to at thirty-five or forty five poond: fo the inch. The first suggestion is met by th fall the braces were in place, and wert jer the test the b right, and conclusively by the proof that forty pounds @f steam were carried on the boiter after thie test, whiob ‘war much more than the pressure immediately bofore the explosion. You are, therefore, left without any wet either deduced from the well known calculations oh the ascertained etrength of tron or from any experience in regard to the testing of boilers, from which fo infer that the boijer did burst at the low pressure of Steam which was being carried. You wil! then consider whether the boiler was burst by gradually accumulating it @ pressure greater than it had shown itself ea- padie of bearing; or whether it was exploded by those euses which do constantly produce explosions in boilers, aed which when they are called into action overcome all Fesistance and devastate in proportion to tbe strength of ‘She boiler which bar in vain struggled to restrain ibeir destroctive force. It fs nots part of our duty to specn- Ante upon the bert way of bracing or securing boilers, if we find no proof that the bracing in this partienlar case was too weak to endure the ioad it was designed to bear. ‘The evidence shows that a great variety of opinions upon She beet methods of bracing exist among men equally ex- ‘ieneed in the business; and as there ie no staudard by law or universal custom, it must at last come Deck io the simple question in each case, whether the method of bracing used im that case was sufficient for the «PET pose intended, and if it be sufficient it i# of no conse- quence tbat some other cohetructor would have used some oiber method. No boiler would probablyever be ‘Pull Tf the different views of al! men about the best way of covstrocting it had firet to be reconciled. The ‘epecifications under which these boilers were bait par- Qiouleriy provides for the mann which their braces @bal} be secured to the roof of the boilers; but it leaves fo the superintendence and control of the United Mates engineer in charge, and the discretion of the boiler maker, bow they shall be secured at their lower endi subject. however, Ww the condition ¢hat they shall be ab edo stand a water pressure of sixty pounds.

In this case the eo gine bad been sbut to @ certain extent in order to gain steam, and of course Mr. Cahill cou!d have had no other object in accumulating pressure except to use it when accumulated, and so to find out the capacity of bie gugtve when its powers were to be tested for the first time. Ip opening the valve, if he did it, Mr. Cabill would have been diminishing the pressure on bis boilers, ‘and if the water had been at its proper height the opera. tion would have been entirely safe, He bimeelf did not kpow where water wis ip the boilers, as be bad been conversing with the captain for some time, and, as it ap- pears, taking indicator cards from the engine ata pince where he could not possibly have known the condition of ‘the water in the boilers, as Mr. Lawton bas told us; ard be bad a right perhaps to infer that the boilers were as they should be, and more particularly #0 as it seeme that be bad not geen them operate on the trial at the dock, and might not have known their tendency to throw out their water with greatfrapidity. ‘bis brings us to the consideration of the probability that the water was fow in the boilers. There bes bccn no witness before us qualified, from his own knowledge, to give any testi- mony as to the exact condition of the waver gauges at the time of the accident, and we must look to circum. stantial evidence in this regard also. that we are furnished with a great abundance, and of a most con- clusive character. Tbis boiler and engine were used at the dock for ninety.six bours, during which time the most extraordinary results were exhibited. The water worked out of the boilers into the engine, and #0 overboard, 60 freely that sometimes ov third of the cylinder would be filled with water, and the momentum of the machine would be suddenly arrested, as Is proved ‘by Mr. Mason, who had charge of the trial. On one oc- casion the quantity which suddepiy came over from the boiler to the cylinder was so great that the piston was driven up the piston rod about the sixtcenth of an inch by compressing the water between the cylinder bead and the piston, as proved by Mr. Riggin, who as- sisted on the trial. ‘The danger of an explosion from low water at the dock was 80 great that the last witness re- fused te open the throttle valve when requested to do so by the United States engineers on board, who re- Presented that the contract required the engine to be run wide open. The witness said that he considered his own safety endangered, and shonld act on bis own judgment. Mr. Beil, who took indicator diagrams at times during the triai,from the engine, says that ihe water worked out of the boliors so as (0 be heard striking in the cylinder frequently when he was on board Al- though the eogines are arranged with a fresh water or “guriace condenser,”” whose office it is to keep the boilers supplied with fresh water, (he water became salt very soon and had to be blown out, as if the engine bad ‘no ‘‘surface condenser.’’ This was the condition of the Chenango when ehe was delivered into the charge of a second assistant engineer, with assistants, who, it ap- pears, bad not witnessed these operations, in order to g0 t0 sea on duty, There is no dillerence of opinion among the engineers who bave been examined on the subject thata boiler in that condition was unsafe, avd required extraordinary skill to avert an accident; and the question 1s whetber that extraordinary skill was em- ployed upon them. The young men in charge are not Pretended to have possessed anything more than ord}- Dary skill ip their business, as their rank shows, In ad- dition to these probabilities, thus established, there are other facts which cannot be concealed or deceive others in regard to this matter. The mercury gauge, which wag fitted aad adjusted with the tell-tale set at zero, and from which po mercury could be expelled until the pressure exceeded forty-eight pounds to the square inch, was found by Mr. Powers. the boiler inspector of the city of Brook lyn, and by Mr. Dickerson, the witnesses who examined it in the presence of the jury, to have lost about five inches of meroury; 80 that the tell-tale stood about two and a half inches above the zero on the scale; while at the same time the water which is generally in the smali pipe con- necting the gauge with the boiler had been all blown out, and was found on the atmospheric end of the mercury and in the tube above it. There is no way jo which this mer. cury ould have been expelled from this tube unless by a Pressure of steam more than forty-eight pounds high; upless between the time of the explosion and the time of the examination in our presence this gauge had been taken down, some of the ager | poured out, and some dirty water poured into it; which possibility is negatived by the testimony of Mr. Fullivan, who swore that uoth- ieg bad been touched uptil it was examined in our wesence. The felt which covered the top of boiler where it was ruptured was found burnt black and ebriveled by excessive heat, a sample of which ie produced before us, while the wood in imme diate contact witb it shows no scorching, and the witness told us that eteam which is superheated by eontact witb hot iron will shrivel up animal fibers, like hair or leather, while it would not yet be hot enough to set fire to wood: but that saturated steam or steam no hotter than the water out of which it is made, would only be 280 Fab. hot at the pressure of forty pounds, and therefore pot hot enough to burn hair, This is said to prove to a demon: stration the steam must have been superbeated to o bigh dogree; and it is admitted that unless the water was low no such effect could have been produced. It is also in evidence before you that the lead covering, which was laid wpon the outside of the boiler and outside of the felt, was melted by the beat of the steam: and specimens ve been showa you which were takeo from the sheet lead immediately at the edge of the rupture, and which» bear evidence of having been subjected to ® melting heat. Steam at 600° Fab, will melt Jead, and it is said by witnesses that it ie common in eases of explosions, and in cases where low water bat not been followed by explosion, to find lead and solder melted by the bot steam. Jt ie to be remarked that thie doler has been the subject of an official exawi- Dation and report by engineers of the United States Navy and haa been inspected by great numbers of persone, including Mr. Martin (whose arrangement of jt is charged as the cause of tbe explosion), yet no witness hae at- tempted to explain how the lead could bave been melted (unless, indeed, the suggestion of Chief Engineer Sewell, that the tearing of the sneet created friction enougbte melt iteelf, may be considered an explanation) or the felt charred, unless by superbeated eteam; and Mr. Martin bimself rewarked that the only evidence of iow water which he had seen wag in the fact of burnt felt, of whicb he bad picked up a sample and then bad it ip bis pocket, It is apparent that tne Engineer corps of the navy, 8@ well ag the persons whore plane are invelved, have a deep interest in assigning some owher cause than low water. since if it were low, it must have Deen so either from carelesevere of engincers or from iwherept defecta in the organization which daffied the ordinary skili of euch persone ae had the machine in charge. ‘Bo attempt has been made to explain away the mei lead, or to reconcile ite presence ‘with the fact that there wae enough water in the boiler. And as thie je the ordinary cause of explosion, it would seem copsequentiy the true ope here—particulariy since Ro evidence of any sort bar been produced to substi. tate any other caure, and we are jeft to the mere PuggeRtion, without proof, that possibly the braces might Dave been taken out by Mr. Cabili and not replaced, or poeribly the cold water test, which experience hae shown to be infallible, bas in thie case proven @ snare. Unfor. tuuately there are other facts which point out very clearly the existence of an organic disease in there ves- fele, requiring the utmost vigilanee to guard ogainet— the presence of which ie abundantly proved, A pumber Of there versels are jnet now coming out, apd it 80 hap- pened that on Saturday, the 16th, the day after thie ex- Plosion, the Pawtuxet, having been run for ninety six on oben a _ Ont on atrial trip from Provi- once. © Uree Of the Fun jt became necessar: Off the atenm from the engin ovane aa fies Mr. Raker. an exper) enced engineer, whe eet up aod ran the engine rng + sinety-oix hours’ trig), at once bad the firee drawn from the furnaces ar @ measure o! eafety, the neverrity of whiok, under the circumstances, Mr. Kewell admitted to you whe on the stand: aud it wae found that ine steam pump required twenty two minutes to resupply the bovier with the water found wanting, although the gauges tac given no warning of ite absence.

We are informed by Mr. Sewell that a saperbeating apparatus bas been applied to one of there double-enders, called the Eutaw, and it appears that a jarger number of such appliances are being manufactured by order of the Navy Department, to be combined witb ‘these boilers in naval vessels, while at the same time a publication bad been given in evidence, issued m 1863, under the authority of the Navy Department, in whicb ‘bis proposition is made: ‘Tbe advantageous use of super. heated steam appears to be confined to the case of bad boilers, * * * * and which prime badly,” and thie proposition is followed by the declaration that ‘There re insuperable objections to the use of superheated steam, even with bad boilers, * * * # particularly on account of its danger, and (be complicated syatem of vaives, thereby entailed; for provision must made for shutting off at a moment's notice, and resorting to the use Of saturated steam.” it would seem, therefore, that when the department resorts to the use of au apparatus pronounced dangerous, there could have been no lees urgent reason for it than the oue that is suggested in the book, which ie to convert the water which is ‘primed,’’ or worked over from the boi) er mto steam on ite e@ to the engine; and this of Course admits the presence of @ large amount of water between the boiler and the engine. The Secretary of the Navy was kind enough, in answer to my application, to promise me that Mr. Isherwood, the Engineer-in Chief of the Navy, shovid attend us and give us the benefit of his knowledge an perience in our efforts to reach the cause of this melancholy disaster: and in reply to my subpoena Mr. Isherwood himeelf sent me a ceiegram, fixing last Thursday as the day when we might expect him. On that day be was iu New York as he had prom- ised; but unfortunately be found the pressure of bis onerous duties elsewhere too great to perinit nim to afford ua the time for an examination. This I the more regret, as Mr. Isherwood might have saeisfactorily ex- plained to us the very urgent reasons which must have controlled him in selecting this species of boiler, which by tbeir beight are more liable to be etruck by ghot in action than if the tubes which are used to aid in the production of steam were placed behind or on one tide of the furnace, as is usual, instead of on the top of the furnace, as in this cage; and 1 was the more desirous of receiving that explanation after having heard read the report of the Board of eminent engineers who were calied by the Secretary of the Navy in January, 1863, to pro- nounce thelr opinion on these double-ender boilers, then to be congtructed, and whose report has been produced before u@; in which they say that ‘on the whole we are compelied to congider the type of boiler used in these steamers, as inferior to the hor:zontal tubular boiler, which is’ generally used by other nations, and by this country ip the mercantile marine.” But a8 Mr. isher- wood has been deprived of the eae of giving us this information by the pressure of his duties elsewhere, 1 am unable to give you any assistance in solving this dif- Gculty. Witn these ret upon the testimony, I propose to submit the further consideration of this sad case to your judgment. The effect of this investigation cannot fail to be ‘very important in any aspect it may assume. The whole country is interested in knowing the true reason of this explosion. The victims of the disaster exceed in num- ber those who have perished from any explosion whicb 1 enn now recall to memory: and according to the opivion of both scientific and practical men, a repetition of it may be expected at any time to occur, £0 long as the combination whieh existed in the Chenango is used. Mr. Dickerson wrote a letter to Hon. Winter Davie, warning him of the danger when a trial trip was to be made on one of these vessels. Mr. Baker narrowly escaped des- tion by explosion on another one, the very day after ‘accident, and be refused to go on the vessel unless with entire control; and the practical men who ran this engine at the dock absolutely refused to incur the risk which would be encountbred in opening the botler freely to the engine. Under these circumetances, we would be false to our duty either as citizens or oficers of the law, if we shrace ffom placing the responsibility where it belongs. You must guard your minds from being ‘oduced by any other considerations than the testimony itself; and you have uo right to find avy verdict except one based upon estab- lished facts and accordipp to established nataral laws, If we sbould listen to other reasons than these, we might give any number of explanations which imagination could suggest, We find from the published statements that the Board of United States Engineers, which was convened by order of the Secretary of the to give their opinioa on the cause of the calamity, reported that a defective vein in the sbeet of boiler iron caused the accident, and I wished Mr. Isherwood’s judgment on that if we could have bad it; yet no witness here bas suggested that ex. planatior as possibly true, any more than tbat board sug- gested weakened braces the cause. And some have goo fo far ag to propose the possibility that fou! meat been resorted to. such as the use of gunpowder. But we all know that boilers constantiy do explode from low water, and that there are but few other causes for ex plosions known to the world than those which depend apon low water. It is not very surprieing, perhaps, that among the great numbers of veesele used by the United States and placed in the hands of young men, who have had but little experience, and who are employ: ed when there is a scarcity of engineers, on account of the great demand for the services of such men sud- denly made by the pavy, that an explosion should occur at some time. rnd if the machinery were of the ordinary kind the accident would excite no unusual toterest. But when ikpcours on machinery peculiar in its construetion, and which had been condemned se inferior by an offieml doard of tHe most eminent engincers in the country; and when appears that those peculiarities gave so exbibited their dangerous qualities as to alarm pt al and scien- tific men, and to induce them to foretell an accident of this kind; and when we find these peculiarities existing on a great number of other vessels juet now coming into ore, Upon which the lives of our fellow citizens are to be entrusted, then it js of serious consequence. and demands of us to raise a voice of warning in time $0 prevent any more such borrére ae we bave witnessed. Our brave men, who are willing to expose their bosoms to the ene My ® ehot, ought not to be subjected to the chanoes of @ berrible death at the hands of their own friends, and in their own floating homes.
