The Philadelphia Presidential Conven- tion—Grant and Wilson—The Parties in the Ficld and the Party Still to Come. With unparalleled enthusiasm and exulta- tion the Philadelphia Convention has made a good work of the important business which called it together, in the adoption of General Grant and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, as the republican ticket for the Presidential suc- cession, and in the endorsement of the claims of Grant as soldier and statesman, and of the measures and policy of his administration, foreign and domestic, in the party platform. Reduced to a few words, this is the work ac- complished by this National Republican Con- vention. The nomination of the President for another term was a foregone conclusion. Since the adoption of the _ fifteenth amendment, which is due to Gencral Grant, we have never entertained the shadow of a doubt upon this point. Nor have the many intrigues and weak devices within and without the party camp to supersede him had any other effect among the honest masses of the republicans than to strengthen his claims and his cause as a candi- date for the succession. He was not only the strongest but the only available republican candidate for this contest. With him as their standard bearer—as we are assured from the | State elections of 1871 and the more recent elections of 1872—success is morally certain ; while with any other candidate in his place there was only the prospect offered to the re- publicans of general apathy, general de- moralization and a crushing defeat. To the party representing the administra- tion the policy and the necessity of another term to Grant have been for a long time past as clearly defined as was the necessity of the renomination of Jackson in 1832 or of Lincoln in 1864, The action of the Philadelphia Con- vention, therefore, in the renomination of General Grant is simply the formal ratifica- tion of the general voice of the republican party. But the substitution of Henry Wilson for Schuyler Colfax as the candidate for the Vice Presidency is a change in the programme which requires some explanation. Mr. Colfax, as President of the Senate, has proved a good and faithful officer, and his party record cannot be impeached. But some months ago he was spoken of by the anti-Grant republicans as one of their faith, and his Presidential claims were broached on that side of the house as superior to those of Grant. But with the first hints he received in this direction he emphatically dis- claimed all Presidential aspirations and frankly declared his choice to be General Grant against the field. It is probable, however, that the rumors which had been cir- culated connecting him with the aforesaid anti-Grant intrigues weakened him with the administration party and thus opened the way to Wilson in the Convention. We may, however, dismiss this presump- tion and satisfactorily account for the choice of Wilson in the place of Colfax on higher grounds of expediency. Senator Wilson, as | was suggested yesterday, has made himself a prime favorite of the Southern States. They became, indeed, his fast friend from his first political mission among them preliminary to the active work in Congress of Southern recon- struction.

Tue Frencn Banp ror BosToN aND THE French Communists in New Yors.—The Garde Republicaine Band of France arrived in this city yesterday on its way to Boston to perform at the Peace Jubilee. The members enjoyed a pleasing reception on the part of the citizens of New York, their appearance in our streets evoking a very considerable amount of kindly interest in their behalf. With a portion of their own countrymen it was quite different, however. An organized body of men assuming to themselves a repre- sentation of the French Commune offered posi- tive, forcible insult, premonitory almost of bodily injury, to the bandsmen as they strolled out for recreation and sight-seeing. We have already protested against the soil of Americas and the thoroughfares of American cities being | inade a battle pit for the arbitration of the fac- tion fights of Europe, and the French Com- munists must learn that we h law, although we do not patronize the guillotine or own property in New Caledonia. Tue Acqurrran or THe Kansas Senargr, Pomxnoy, by the Committee on Privileges and Elections will be regarded as satisfactory by all parties, since the concurrence of the demo- cratic members of the committee is given in | the important matter of alleged bribery. The election to the United States Senate under consideration took place as long ago as March, 1867, and there seems to bave been a fund of soreheadism at the base of the charges. The prime favorite among the workingmen, as was made manifest in the workingmen’s mass’ meeting lately held in this city, by which he was proclaimed the workingmen’s candidate for Vice President. And again, the defection of Mr. Sumner has had some effect among the old-line abolition radicals of Massachusetts and of the other New England States, which the Philadelphia Convention may have deemed it ‘expedient to neutralize in making Wilson the right hand man of Grant in this campaign. And yet, again, while Colfax has lost the gloss of his campaign of 1868, Wilson comes forward with a general personal popularity which in its freshness and vitality will strengthen even General Grant. These reasons, we think, will serve fully to explain and to justify the substi- tation_of Wilson for Colfax as the republican candidate for the Vico Presidency—the high favot in which Wilson standsamong the Southern blacks, the partiality which has been | expressed for him from the workingmen of the North, his unmistakable strength in New Eng- land and his general popularity. Now, how stands the battle? We have four parties in the field—the temperance and wo- men’s rights party, the labor reform party, the Cincinnati liberal republican party and the regular republican party, and last, but not least, there is a fifth—the democratic party, still in the background. The ticket of the temperance and women’s rights party is the ticket of Black and Russell; but, as it appears to have dicd and made no sign it may be thrown out of the schedule. The labor reform ticket is Judge Davis, liberal republican, of Mllinois, and Governor Parker, democrat, of New Jersey, nominated at Columbus, Ohio, in February last, at the same time with the ticket of the temperance and women's rights party. The labor reformers, in choosing Davis and Parker, had two strings to their bow—the Cincinnati Convention and the democratic party. They failed to catch the Cincinnati - Convtution, Aid they will fail with Davis to catch the old birdg’ ef the democratic party, for old birds are not caught with chaff. Ac- cordingly, the Presidential ticket of the labor reformers may be dismissed. The Cincinnati independent ticket of Greeley and Brown was nominated with the understanding that it might count upon the support of the demo- cratic party; but, if not adopted by the Demo- cratic National Convention of July, Greeley hearsay evidence was, a3 usual, very stron Horace Greeley himself could not have given more pointed tittle-tattle testimony with loss | of truth in it when sifted to the bottom, | Brown heard say that Jones had bribed Robin- son to vote for Smith. Jones denied the giv- ing, Robinson the taking, and Smith ac- knowledged nothing but_ Robinson's vote. The latter fact was’ on the record, but the committee could not find that it was a damning exhibit. Pomeroy had been elected by the Kansas Legislature in joint convention, receiving eighty-four votes and his rival only twenty-five. The committee think that Pome- roy was lucky in his large majority, and leave the matter there. A comical cause of com- plaint is that made incidentally by the ma- jority report touching the faithless conduct of the highly unscrupulous editor of a little Kansas flysheet, who, after accepting a honora- rium (that ise mild term) to support Pome- Toy, went over to Pomeroy's enemy. This and Brown will probably be withdrawn from the battle. The question, then, of the final shaping of | this Presidential contest depends upon the approaching Democratic National Conven- | tion. In the event of the nomination of a regular democratic ticket, assuming that the Cincinnati candidate will be withdrawn, the contest will be reduced to a struggle between the republican and democratic parties. In such a contest the bulk of the floating mate | rials of the country will be drawn inevitably to Grant, and his popular majorities and his | electoral majority of 1872 will, exceed his majorities of 1868. On the other hand, with | the adoption by the Democratic Convention of the Cincinnati independent ticket, which | largely, at present, represents the floating ele- | ments of the country anda very considerable portion of the domocratic rank and file, the unitéd forces of the democracy and the Greeley and Brown republicans and reformers was very heartless; bat who will pity komad, may give us the sharpest and closest Presi- Polk, in 1844. Who knows? After the rejec- tion, however, by the Democratic Convention of 1868 of its great opportunity for a new departure and a vigorous campaign under the broad ensign of Chief Justice Chase, we are exceedingly doubtful of the acceptance of Greeley and Brown by the Democratic Con- vention of 1872. We are not convinced, however, by the Bourbon democratic journals that the true course of their Baltimore Convention is the nomination of a regular party ticket. From the instructive democratic defeats of last year and this year, the fact stands forth in bold relief that the party has been reduced by its long succession of disasters to a hopeless popu- lar minority in the country, and that it needs reinforcements to be inspired with any hope of success against General Grant. Reinforce- ments are offered in the independent liberal republican ticket of Greeley and Brown. The Cincinnati Convention, in view of democratic support, might have done better, and it might have done worse. But what it did was under- taken with the advice and encouragement of certain authoritative leaders of the democratic party, and the party is morally bound by the compact. Greeley and Brown are the candi- dates of a new departure, in which they expect the promised support of the democracy, and from which they expect the maintenance of all the great measures and principles settled by the war, with certain reforms in the national administration in smaller matters. But if Greeley and Brown are to be confronted by a regular democratic ticket, in being reduced to a choice, as, for example, between Grant and Pendleton, they surely will not consent, as in the service of Pendleton, to remain as a third party in the field. It is clear as the noonday sun, from the har- mony and overwhelming enthusiasm of this Philadelphia Convention in support of Grant, that, with some scattering exceptions, he is backed by the rank and file of the republican party throughout the country, North, South East and West. And yet, what with the tem- perance reformers and the labor reformers aud the Cincinnati republican reformers, the democracy may astonish the world with the astounding results from their adoption of Greeley and Brown. Who can tell? That glorious old democratic hero, General Jack- son, might, perhaps, have been defeated in 1832 with a coalition of the national repub- licans, the anti-masons and the Southern nul- lifiers, and other outside odds and ends, upon a common Presidential ticket; but as they could not agree to join their forces they were divided and Old Hickory walked over the course. And so Van Buren was elected in 36, and Polk in ’44, and Taylor in '48, and Buchanan in '56, from the divisions of the opposition elements. Nothing but an oppo- sition coalition—democrats included—will suffice to make an impression against Grant and Wilson; and the only available basis for such a coalition now is the independent joint stock liberal ticket of Greeley and Brown. The Labor Strikes—Alarming Tendency Towards Violence Manifested by the Workingmen. It will be seen from the news furnished in another column that the labor movement threatens to assume a lawless character, which cannot fail to exercise a most injurious influ- ence on its chances of success. As long as the workingmen respected the law and abstained from interfering with the rights of others an amount of sympathy was felt for them by the general public which considerably embar- rassed their opponents. This valuable moral support would have undoubtedly been con- tinued had the men on strike maintained their peaceful attitude. Even in face of provoca- tion they ought to have known that it was | their interest to keep well within the limits of the law. Indeed, so patent was the necessity for the most scrupulous respect for the law that it argues a complete want-of intelligence on the part of those individuals who have been guilty of violent interference with those who differ from them. It is no doubt annoying to the workingmen that they cannot secure per- fect unity of opinion and action among them- selves, but the law of the land secureg the right of every citizen to follow his own judge ment in all lawful matters, and no mob com- | binations can be permitted under any excuse to interfere with this sacred right. To per- mit a number of workmen to coerce their fel- low laborers, even to pursue a course of action which was for their undoubted benefit, would be to undermine the whole structure of our social and political freedom. It is, therefore, with deep concern and regret that we regard the state of excitement which existed through the city yesterday, and which was due in chief part to the threats of violence so freely in- dulged in by many of the men on strike. Unfortunately the advocates of the rights of labor did not in all cases confine themselves to the utterance of threats, but proceeded to put them into execution. The police authorities seem to have been | fully informed as to the gravity of the occa- sion, and to have taken steps to be ready for any emergency. Squads of officers were de- tailed to points where it was considered their presence might be required, and every prepa- at rioting. Indeed, we fear that if it had not been for the deterrent effect of these precau- tions yesterday would not have passed with- out a serious conflict between the strikers and the recusant workmen. In fact, such a conflict was about to be inaugurated in Hester street, between a committee and a number of men who were at work and refused to leave, when the police interposed to preserve the peace. Similar scenes were enacted at other points, and it was considered advisable to place a guard of police on several large facto- ries in view of the threats made to destroy them. Men who imagine that they are serv- ing their cause by indulging in vagaries of this nature must be very stupid. It is difficult to understand in what way they can hope to serve their interests by de- priving themselves of the means of earning ration made to promptly suppress any attempt | their bread. To burn down a factory is the | silliest way that could be imagined of punish- ing a manufacturer, as the loss would certainly not fall on him, but on others who are alto- gether innocent of any crime against the workingmen. Unless, indeed, our trades | unions have adopted the monstrous fallacy | put forward by the most impractical section of the French Commune, that labor and capital are necessarily enemies, such a principle, followed to its logical conclusion, would reduce \ dential contest since that between Clay and | mankind to « state of barbarism, and gan neyer be accepted by reasonable men. We do not believe that such wild notions have any hold on the vast majority of our working classes, who seek only the amelioration of their condi- tion within legitimate and reasonable limits. If they wish to succeed their victories must be moral ones, gained by peaceful and lawful means, otherwise the results cannot be lasting ; for society is too strong for any combinations of individuals to be able to impose laws which are out of sympathy with public feeling or opposed to the general conscience, The reports widely circulated that the labor advocates intended to adopt violent measures received unpleasant confirmation from the demonstrations of the committees, and the shooting of James Brownlee, in Forty-first street, furnishes a suggestive incident of what might occur if the more desperate of the labor reformers were not restrained by the strong arm of the law. In addition to these outrages others directed against the community have been menaced, even to the placing of the city in total darkness by driving off the men employed in the gasworks, The immediate effect of such action would be to give full swing to the thieves and ruffians who infest the city and create such a sentiment of irritation against the authors as would more than counterbalance anything they might hope to effect by the commission of such a wanton outrage. If there be any cool heads among the strikers they had better remind their more un- reasonable comrades that other citizens besides strikers have rights that must be respected, and it is the interest of the men themselves to show by their conduct that they appreciate this fact. Whatever injustice may be inflicted on labor by the superior power of capital can only be redressed in this free land by moral agencies, and not by bludgeon arguments or incendiary attempts. Such means may be justifiable in lands where the toilers are slaves, without rights before the law or influence on the governing power; but here, where all citi- zens enjoy equal rights, they are indefensible. Ifthe employers of labor refuse to accede to what the workingmen consider their just de- mands they have an efficient means at hand to obtain their full rights by co-operation. By adopting this mode of carrying on the struggle against capital they could prove that their de- mands were founded in justice, and would un- questionably receive the sympathy and sup- port of the public. But whatever course they may elect to pursue they must keep clearly before their minds that others as well as they have rights to which the law will compel re- spect. Earl Granville Proclaims the Indirect Claims Bill Withdrawn—Cheers in the House of Lords. There is a chance, at length, of a settlement of this muddled and confusing question. Earl Granville made a highly important com- munication to the House of Lords last night. He read a letter from Mr. Schenck, in which the United States Minister in London affirmed that the supplemental article to the Treaty of Washington is amply sufficient to exclude the indirect claims, and authorized the statement to be made as coming from Washington. Lord Derby read a letter from Sir Stafford Northcote, in which that gentleman states that the Joint High Commis- sion in Washington understood that a promise was given that the American claims for indi- rect damages would be withdrawn. Earl Granville’s acfon was hailed with loud cheers, and in the face of the en- joyment of the national glorification Earl Russell withdrew his motion for an ad- dress to the Crown. Both nations will rejoice at this latter result of the consummation of the diplomacy, and give utterance to the hope that ‘‘Finality’’ John may have now reached the finale of his political inconsistencies, which have been more or less apparent, and each time more incomprehensible, during fifty-nine years, since his first entry to the House of Commons, in the year 1813. Band. A very funny piece of news comes to us from England via the Atlantic cable. Among the many European bands which were expected to come to America and take part in the grand Bos- ton Jubilee Was the famous band of the Grena- dier Guards. It is now announced that when the band had arrived at Liverpool and was about to embark on the voyage to this country orders were received from headquarters forbidding their departure. As the case is reported the counter order seems to have been most de- liberate, for the band had been in Liverpool for several days. In spite of its verisimilitude we can hardly credit the report. If we under- The Grenadier Guards’ stand things rightly, permission for this band | to attend the Boston Jubilee must have been granted under the authority of the Com- mander-in-Chief and the Queen. It isnot con- ceivable that an order so given can have been revoked. If it has been revoked, and if the band of the Grenadiers has been forbidden to set sail for America, it must be admitted that Johnny Bull, in pants and petticoats, from the Queen and Lord John Russell down- ward, has lost his senses. Why hinder the Grenadier band from sailing to our shores? Not surely because of the debate in the House of Lords and the unfortunate speech of Earl Russell! Not surely because Great Britain fears that we intend to invade Canada, or that Great Britain intends to declare war against the United States! It cannot be for any such reasons. It is not impossible that if the Gren- adier Guards’ band find their way to this coun- try and to the Hub of the Universe they may take a liking to American institutions, and it would not be wonderful if the band, in all its entirety, never found its way back to Merrie England. If the Commander-in-Chief dreads desertion we cannot blame him for his counter order, it such order has been given; but the counter order growing out of such fear will not redound to the honor of England. We shall not be surprised to learn that the report is a skilful invention of some malicious hoax manufacturer, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Postmaster W. L. Burt, of Bostbn, is at the Astor | House.

THE WRECKED VESSELS. —_—_—_—_—— Havoc Among the Dorchester Yachting Fleet. The Storm Felt Along the Coast of Maine for Miles. BRAVERY OF THE LIFEBOAT MEN, Boston, June 6, 1872, During the last thirty hours the city has been visited by one of the severest storms ever known so late in the season. The rain began falling on Tuesday evening and had continued with varying force until midnight. With the wind strong from the northeast yesterday, and a continuously increas- ing rainfall during most of the forenoon and after- noon, the day may be set down in the calendar as the most disagreeable of the season, and the storm the most severe that passed over this section at this time of the year for along time. The wind at times blew in fitful gusts and threatened to doa deal of damage, but so far as reported very little was done in the city proper, beyond the fall of sev- eral store signs. A report was current in a South End neighborhood for a few moments that the Coliseum had again succumbed, but it had its origin in the remark of @ facctlously inclined gentleman that “the wind had blown over" the structure. There was a decided whistling among the timbers of the im- mense building, but the firmness with which it stood the test fully justifies all the confidence that has been placed tn its durability, In the city very little business was transacted, comparatively, the army ofshoppers keeping close within doors until fair weather should again woo them forth, In the harbor the high water and the very strong sea caused fears of disaster to shipping. Extra precautions were taken by the watchful tars to secure their craft, however, and they were in the main successful. Several vessels were signalled below in the afternoon, but they put out to sea again, not daring to come up. The Isle of Skye drifted from the East Boston side over to South Boston flats, and two or three smaller crafts suffered some damage in the rigging. The East Boston boats had to make up toward the Navy Yard in order to escape being driven below. During the storm considerable fears were enter tained by the members of THE DORCHESTER YACHT CLUB for the safety of the large number of yachts which were lying at their moorings off Commercial Point. Soon after eight o'clock the wind veered round to the east, tossing the little vessels on the billows and momentarily threatening them with destruc- tion, For about three hours the yachts held fast to their anchorage, and the large number of spe: tators who were gathered about the Point watc! ing the scene slowly dispersed, believing that the gale had spent its fury and predicting that the boats would be able to weather the “blow.” A few minutes before eleven o'clock an unknown schooner- rigged yacht, which had recently arrived from Maine, ‘and ' which lay about one-eighth of mile seaward from the squadron, was noticed to drag her anchor and start outtosea, She was seen to swing round with the wind, which caused her to careen over and fill, and soon after to sink in about eight or nine fathoms of water. The owner is at present unknown, but competent judges estimate er value at about $1,200. The wind had NOW INCREASED TO ALMOST A HURRICANE, and the remainder pf the yachts began to drag in- ward, Efforts were made to board and make sail on a few of them, but before the work could be ex- ecuted a sudden gust of wind sent the sloop Pacer bounding in, and almost running down a small boat which was oing to her assistance, Next came the sloop Fanchon, Captain Holmes, driving with great violence upon a float and lying on her beam ends, carrying away her house and chaf- ing her sides badly. The damage done to the Fan- chon 18 reughly estimated at $600. The report that the boats were driven ashore and dashed to pieces against the rocks attracted a large number of per- sons interested in yachting to the scene. DISASTERS ALONG THE EASTERN COAST. Yesterday's storm was very severe all along the Eastern coast, although there was but very little damage here in the harbor. The accounts thus far received from outside show heavy losses and aiso sad sacrifices of human life. THE SCHOONER JANE, OF BOSTON, from Bangor for Somerset, R. 1, went ashore on Squam Beach and all hands were lost. ‘The crew consisted of five persons, including Cap- tain Josepn W. Clark, of Tennant’s Harbor, Me., where he leaves a widow and family. The vessel was an old one, owned by S. C. Loud, of Boston, | and was worth about $4,000, being insured for about half that sum, THE SCHOONER CYPRESS, OF MILLBRIDGE, Captain Robinson, went ashore on Rye Beach, about noon, and at once went to pieces, her cargo of lumber being washed all along the shore. The captain and crew were saved by the people who had gathered for the purpose. A large schooner went by we Ledge just before noon, barely outside the breakers, and is supposed to have been wrecked. Early in the afternoon a large hermaphrodite brig ran nearly ashore 6ff the Ocean House; but discovering land barely in season to wear around, and a fortunate change of the wind, she got away with all her sails blown away, except jib and staysail. * " ‘THE SCHOONER SUN, forty tons, Captain Mosely, of Hancock, Me., bound to Boston, laden with hard wood, ran ashore on the Eastern Point, near York Harbor, Me., at six o’clock Wednesday morning. Vessel and cargo a total loss; no insurance. Early this morning THE SHIP GETTYSBURG, OF RICHMOND, ME., which arrived at this port yesterday from Liver- ool, Went ashore off Pettick’s Island, in the har- vor, near Hull, but, as she was lying easy, no fears ‘wero entertained 1or her safety. Her cargo is prin- cipally tron and crockery. As was expected by the captain of the ship she was easily got off the shoal long before high water, the tugs Belknap and Lu- cille aiding her. The cause of her golng asnore was the parting of her chain cable. The yachts of the South Boston Club were in no worse condition this morning than they were last | evening, though it was supposed all of them would be adrift and missing or broken up at daylight. It was the heavy sea more than the wind that caused the damage. ‘The Esteite and the Ranger were both forced from their moorings, and this morning were struggling with danger on Cow Pasture, and considerably damaged, The Annie, reported ashore on the point, was not Captain McKenna’s An but another boat of the same name belonging over on the other shore, The Volante, Captain Hawes, sloop, is also ashore on Cow Pasture bar, but will doubtless be secured this forenoon. Captain Robinson's schooner, the Elsie, which was supposed to be the yacht ashore at Squantum last night, is all right and at her moor- ings; the one seen could not have been her. tne schooner Mercury Commodore Greer, is in much better condition than it was supposed she | would be after her battle with the Dawn, though | the latter is badly damag The Kate lies off the club house with her masts | gone and a big hole stove in her hull. The Nellie had her masts completely shook out of her and ts badly strained, and is ashore full of water. Captain Johnson's Little Bob broke away from her moorings, a8 did also the Caloric, which ts adrift. Several others are missing, though it is probable that they will all be secured to-day aud hauled up | for repairs. IN DORCHESTEB BAY, through the exertions of Captain William B. Abbott | and the crew of Mr. U,V. Whitten’s yacht siivie, who worked through the entire night, the scene is much more pleasant to ‘the members of the yacht club than it was last evening. As soon as the wind began to abate last night Captain Abbott and his men went to work and took every yacht to her ,moormgs except two—the Send and the Susie, and these were so badly en- tangled in the rigging that it was found inexpe- dient to separate them hastily, but this will be done this forenoon, Most of the yachts have got scraped pretty badly, but few are so injured that a little paint will not remedy, and the probability now is that afew hundred dollars will cover the entire | damage. ‘The British schooner Julia, of and for St. George, 8. from Boston Light, dragged from her an- chorage in Gloucester harbor ‘Tuesday night, and struck upon Piper’s Rocks, west of the canal, about tives o'clock yesterday spews 3 where she bilged and fMied with water. She sankand capsized about ‘k, and during the day laid on her broad- fipping every rise and fall of | the sea, THR, SCHOONER ROSETTA of and from Philadelphia for Salem, with a load of coal, attempted to follow a jumber-laden schooner into Rockport yesterday, but broached to off the mouth of the harbor and’ went ashore upon the out. side of the breakwater. After one or two attempts the crew were taken off by the lifeboat at great peril to the men who manned the latter. The vessel has off to the resone, but capsized and was obi ta return. One of the vessels is said to be the Louisa F. Smith. Mr. John Q. A. Cobb, who yesterday gprs a bark out from New Bediord, says that, in eighteen years’ e: rience as a pliot, he never the loss of captain and four men.

THE LATEST PARTICULARS, Boston, June 6—Midnight. The Boston pllot boat Pet, supposed to have been lost, has arrived safely at this port. The coaler wrecked at Cape Ann was the William H, Dennis, of Philadelphia, and not the Rosetta, as at first reported, The schooner wrecked upon Squam bar was the Jane, of Boston, witn a cargo of lumber, The Cap- tain and three or four men were lost in attempting to leave the vessel in her boat before the lifeboat could reach her, It is supposed a woman was ot the number lost, an apron and shawl having been picked up on the beach, Had those lost remained on the vessel they would have been saved, the deck. load remaining intact this morning. The ,schooner J. W. Coffin, of Cherryfield, Me., with a cargo of spars, was obliged to cut away both masts in the gale, and last night dritted between the Salvages and came to anchor oif Rockport, Capo Ann, where she lies safely. The schooner General Marion, from Rockland for New York, with a cargo of lime, went ashore near Highland Light, Cape Cod, at nine P. M. on Wednes- day. The captain, his wife and the crew were saved after being lashed in the rigging all night. The vessel and cargo are a total loss. JAMES CORDON BENNETT, Opinions of the Press on His Life and Character. {From the Metropolitan Record, June 8.} Mr. Bennett created, not simply erected, his own monument. The great newspaper built up by his wonderful energy and amazing enterprise perpetu- ates his name, and is at once his epitaph and his history. Even while its founder lics ready for the grave it goes on without the slightest halt or change in the mechanism that keeps it in motion, In the familiar place where it has stood for nearly forty years still stands the name of James Gordon Bennett. The founder of the New York HERALD, the father of the modern newspaper, isno more, but the HERALD itself is unchanged. The man is Rone, but his work remains, to keep mankind in dally remembrance of the story of his life—a life beginning in struggles for the wherewithal to sus- tain it, and crowned at last with all the success that those who set their hearts on worldly triumphs could desire. James Gordon Bennett was a con- queror of adversity, a man of genius in the course that he travelled—the Napoleon of American jour- nalism, As such he chielly desired to be known, and as such he will be remembered. (From the Cincinnat! Times and Chronicle, June 3.) What Mr. Bennett was in his junior days of journalism he was all through his life. He wanted no one about him who did not believe, first of all in the existence of news, second in the getting of news, and last, but not least, in the publication of news in the HERALD before any other paper had it, Of course he had to educate the public up to his standard, or rather, to develop the natural curi- osity of the human mind and direct into such a channel that it would make the newspaper the in- dispensable necessary of daily life. He succeeded in such @ measure as ought to have satisfied, as it doubtless did satisfy, his am- bition, although it never exhausted his energy. He always lookea to the opportunities for success in the future rather than to the triumphs of the past, and no deed of yesterday left him so wear; and unwary that his rival could gain a point in ad- vantage. This is the sum and substance of James Gordon Bennett's life. His HERALD is his monument. It will outlast brass and granite if his son and heir, to whom it is bequeathed, does not in some critical moment prove to have a weak spot in his character which will give way at some unexpected point. The Junior Bennett's record thus far seems, however, to portend nothing of this kind, and the esteem in which he holds his father’s memory will doubtless nerve him to such effort as, were that father still living, would meet his most earnest approval. Thus measure of success his father’s friends will ear- Bhi wish for the son, even while they sympathize with him in his affliction. The telegraph will give the post-mortem record of Mr. Bennett, and history will never failto give him full credit for whatever of noble example he has furnished the world through the medium of his Journalistic achievements. [From the Daily Skandinavisk Post.) James Gordon Bennett, the founder and publisher of the world-renowned journal, the New York HERALD, died last Saturday, in New York, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. The HERaLp has now existed for thirty-seven years, but for the last five yearsill health hindered Mr. Bennett from taking part in the editorial work. The deceased was the most enterprising and indefatigable newspaper publisher the world ever had, Through his zealous activity, which was righteously acknowledged by the people, he obtained means to improve his paper to such a degree as to make it the greatest and most influential paper in the whole world, Even if many of his undertakings Were cal- culated to make a “show,” as it is called in Eng- lish—and what business man does not do that, in one way or another ’—his journalistic enterprise has always had a great influence in our States, the Union—yes, we can say the whole world’s relations, The HERALD or Mr. Bennett sustained at all times all great national questions, and gave the impulse tomany. The expedition sent to Africa in search ~ of Dr. Livingstone was at the same time the action of a grandee, and the newspaper man but receivea in both cases the thankful acknowledgment of the whole civilized world. Bennett was not a speaker— he “spoke with his pen"—but at public soupers for some distinguished person or other occasions he was familiar and witty, always keeping the com- pany in good humor, We remember the great souper given by the New York Press in honor of Kossuth, in the Astor House, twenty years ago. Rennett was at that time nearly sixty years of age, but his vigor was that of a man in his best years. ‘The last five years Mr. Bennett had, as we have already said, retired from the editorial work; but if a man continually for forty years—and the first six years with financial troubles—has been the chief editor of a daily paper, his last five years with broken health is not to be wondered at. In the American periodical literature the name of the founder of the New York Heranp, James Gordon Bennett, will forever have a prominent place, and his name be in memory until the now up- growing gencration has disappeared. The beautiful old proverb, “De mortuus nil nisi bonum” will, we earnestly hope, be remembered by deceased's an- tagonistic members of the press, as the contrary would disgrace the journalist as well as everybody else.
