In a powerlul speech in support of his resolution Dr. Kenewly aliaded to the growing dissatisfaction at the result of these trials and the manner in | which they had been conductea by the Bench, Nothing short of a royal commisston of inquiry would content the people of Enziaud, who were convinced that justice had not been done.

Sir Kicburd Gaggallay opposed the appointment of @ commission, for which there was not the slightest ground of justification, The observa- sions alleged to have been made by tue Chief Jus- tice Were grossly misunderstood and misinter- preted.

This afternoon, at a quarter past four o'clock, & time when the levee is usually mest crowded, & fire broke out in the blacesmitn shop of the steam- boat John Kyle, then lying at the foot of Gravier Street, along with steamers Charles Bodman and Exporter, tn close juxtaposition, Almost before an alarm could be given the whole boat was in flames, Time was, however, afforded to rescue a few lady passengers and others before she was pulled out into tne stream, The fire almostimme- diately caught the Bodman, whose passengers and people on board nearly ali escaped to the Exporter. As soon as the fire was discovered the ines of the boats were cast loose from the shore and a steam tug pulled them out into the stream. The day was unusally clear, with @ strong north Wind blowing. As S000 as the boats cleared the eddy, about 200 yards irom the shore, they were Struck with the inil force ofthe wind and were almost instantaneously wrapped in flames, driving the helpless passengers into the river. The scene trom the crowded levee was heartreuding iu the extreme, THE SCBNE ON THE BODMAN. From the Bodman men, women and children, slirieking aud crying for help, were seen to jump into the river and drown, while the spectators on shore were powerless tohelp them, The Exporter did not catch fre until outin the river, and her forecastle was at the time crowded with people, the number being estimatea by witnesses of the catastrophe at from 100 to 150, As the huge sheet of fame swept down upon them they were seen to Jump overboard like @ starued flock of sheep, when @ number Were rescued by skiff and tugs, which had put out to their assistance; but the great majority were drowned. THIRTY WOMEN AND CHILDREN LOST. Albert Mynck, the watchman of the Bodman, Who was saved with its captain, reports about twenty-five or thirty women aud children as lost upon that boat,and the same proportion were estimated by spectators to have been among the frantic crowd upon the Exporter’s forecastle. In thirty minutes aiter the fire broke out the Kyle was flouting down stream burned to the water's edge, and the wrecks of the hulls o1 the other two boats had drifted over to the Algiers shore, where they still smouider, THE RESCUED. About twenty of the rescued, among whom are several ladies, were provided for upon the steam- boat Louisville, and just as your correspondent lefé the levee two more ladies were landed ‘rom a skif. Some of the rescued are badly burned. Both the Boaman and Exporter only ar- ived last night, the latter with an excursion party on board, among which was the family of her owner, Captain Reese, of Pittsburg. Fortunately most of the passengers were up in town when the fire occurred, but Mrs, Reese and her Gaughter, with another lady, remained on board. Ofthese two were saved by @ skiff, but Miss Reese is supposed to have been lost. Captain Shinkle, of the Bodman, also lost bis son, fourteen yeurs of age. THE INSURANCE. The Kyle was worth about $50,000, and was tn- sured for avout $30,009 in Pittsburg oMces. The Bodman was valued at about $48,000; insured in Cincinnati; and the Hxporter at $35,000; insured in Pitsburg. Tae. calamity has cast a gloom over the city, and the conduct of those upon tugboats is somewhat severely criticised by several lof the eye-witnesses, who charge them with being more interested in saving Otber steamboats than saving lives. In tois, how- ever, much must be aliowed for prevailing excite- ment. The casualty was so swilt and horrible as to almost paraiyze any efforts, THE Lost. It will be very diMcult to ascertain the names otailthe lost. Among them were many specta- tors from the shore, who went aboard tne burning boats to assist in putting out the fire. Ere they could return they !ound themselves out in tle Stream, etveloped in flame. One case of herotsm | is reported, Two women who sprung overboard | Succeeded tn grasping aringbolt upon the hull of | the Exporter, where, partly sheltered by the guards of the boat, they clung for about fifteen minutes in fuil view of all on shore. Jn the mean- while three skiifs made repeated but ineffectual attempts to reach them, beingeacn time driven back by the intense heat in the fames. Just as the hundreds of breathless spectators were upon the point of abandoning hope. a long lead col- ored skiff with a single rower approached and dashed im to their side. In a few minates it emerged in safety, having succeeded tn rescuing both from watery graves. This galiant action was rewarded with @ spontaneous cheer from t crowd lining the river bank, The latest estima reduce the loss to about fity sows. The burnt bull of the Exporter is now being towed dowa ti river by a tugboat. Captain Hutchinson, of the Kyle, reports all saved apon his boat, thoug himself, the clerk and one of two otners are somewhat badly burned. He says that in less than three minu:es from the time of discovering the fire that his boat was one sheet of flame from stem to stern, ‘Lo adopt an expression used by an old darkey | Witness of the sad affair—“They ail burned like broom cora.’’ BURNING OF THE TAREE BOATS. It now appears that ail the three boats were tied to the same ringbolt upon the jevee, and that on endeavoring to cut the Kyle’s moorings ail three were unfortunately severed at the same time. The river mal arapid eddy at that spot, and they at once driited out together, thus communi- cating the fire to each other. The tugboats, Ella Wood, Nellie and Dome and another were in the immediate neighborhood. The two jormor, it is said, lost both time and opportunity for saving lile in a vain endeavor to extinguish the | fires oy throwing water upon the burning buats. STORY OF AN EYE-WITNESS, Another eye-witness to the catastrophe, an old | merchant, says he arrived on the levee just as the boats had drifted out, The orecasties ot the Bod | man and Exporter were then crowded witn | people, who just at that moment seemed for the first time to realize their danger and became panic stricken, Im @ short time, he said, | ho saw over a handred peopie stragging in the water. Some jumped over with | their tranks, others with barrels and pieces of | freight, The skiff, of wnich some half dozeo had been attracted to the spot, imimediately dasued in | and comnfenced rescuing these people. Some were saved in this manner, others swam to oat | ing spars and logs, but he saw, he thinks, upward | of jorty or flity, among whom he distinctly recol- | lecta two Women, Who were drowned, ‘There was a lamentable want of oraer in managing the tugboats, ocherwise, in his opinion, many more might have been saved. The scene he de- scribes as moss horrible in the extreme, boto by its suddenness and its terribie nature, OIL ON BOARD. One of the boats had on board a quantity of oil, which floated in fames upon the surface of the water around the struggling victims, and thus added tenfold to the horrors of the scene, Many of the rescued are severely burned about the head, and no doubt it precipitated the drowning of many. The Kyle was owned In equal parts by Captain Huteninsen, P, 8. Davidson, W, F. Davidson and Jonn Kyle, who are only partially insured, and had on board about @ hundred tons of ireight, The Captain reports all hands and passengers saved, ‘The Bxvorter vad On board about four Bundrad | newspaper men, tons of miscellaneous freight, and the Bodman bad just Onished discharging, The Captain reports ail hands and passengers saved, ex##pt Mrs. Mus- grove and ono chambermaid. Owing to the fact of a number of people run- ning on board the boats at the first alarm of fire, 1t will be some time before the full extent of the casualties can be ascertained. The closest esti- mates now place them between thirty and forty. A PLEASURE PARTY. On board the Exporter was Captain Reese, the ownver, from Pitsburg, who, with nis fam- ly and a number of fmends from that city, were here on @ pleasure excursion. The ladies of the party were ali ashore, except Mrs. Reese and daughter and one other lady. Mra, Reese and the other lady were saved, but the daughter was drowned, It is impossible to-night to give the names of the lost. ‘The bulls of the Exporter and Charles Boaman were towed across the river to Coyle’s coal yard, while that of the John Kyle doated dowa a couple of miles and sunk. WASHINGTON. GENERAL WASH INGTON DESPATCHES, WASHINGTON, April 23, 1875. TDR CABINFT CHANGES—THE RESIGNATION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS AND HOW IT WAS BROUGHT ABOUT—THE CASK OF SECRE- TARY DELANO. When the official correspondence on the subject is made public it will appear that meediul atten- tions to his private affairs have left Attorney Ge: eral Williams no otber alternative than a retire- ment from public life, and that it ts witn no com- mon feelings of regret that be has thus been com- pellcd to sever the pleasant official relations which, for severai years fast, have attached him tv toe President and bis Caoinet, and 60 on, It will further appear that the President deeply re- grets the resolution of Mr. Willams to retire from the office which he has filled so acceptably, and thatin accepting his resignation he (ihe Presl- dent) cannot refrain from the expression of his best wishes for the success and prosperity of this able and faitpful patlic servant in his withdrawal from the cares of State, Ail this on both sides {8 substantially true, ont itis not the whole truth, The resignation of Mr, Williams, though proclaimed a voluntary act, was forced upon him, and it came upon him asa sur- prise, Ever since his nomination for Chief Jus- tice, and particalarly since the disclosure of cer- tain facts connected with the withdrawal of bis name fur that igh position, there has been more or less dissatisfaction in the republican party with nis continuance in the Cabinet, and frequent ugly hints and charges from republican sources have been made against him; but unth tately they were all to no parpose, Tue President paid no attention to these complaints of corruption in the Department of Justice until last Friday nigbta week ago, when he sent for Mr. Williams and told him frankly that his presence in the Cabinet was embarrassing his administration and the party. To this stunning announcement Mr. Willams, of course, could only reply that he would not stand a moment in the way of the aaministration or the party, aud that ue would send 1n his resig- nation at once, should be withheld until the President's return from Boston, and that Mr. Willlams should remain in his office till some time in May, to dispose of certain cases pending in the Supreme Court. Bat whence this sudden overthrow of the President's late apparently unbounded confidence in this man? It came from some treacherous leakages in the Department of Justice, For instance, a good- natured friend told the Presiaent that one of the Attorney General’s subordinates nad “plown on him; that the investigating committee appointed to examine those charges made against | Mr. Willams when he was nominated for Chiet Justice had reached @ point where, for tue good of ail concerned, it was deemed expedient to stop the investigation and shut the books. Upon this broad bint, touching @ matter of which he had be- fore beard nothing, the President sent for Mr, Williams and suggested the propriety of nis resig- nation, At this time Mrs. Williams was in New York, and was little prepared jor the startling despatch which on Saturday morning last a week ago came to her from Washington, requesting her immediate return home. She leit by the next traip, and was no doubt greatly surprised and perplexed to find tnat the Attorney General who had declined the mission to Rassia and the mission to Austria would soon be thrown back into the shades of private life, So fade away all the glories of this worla, “Put | not your trust in princes” or presidents, tor you know not how soon you may be tripped up and brought to the ground, Now itis reported that | Mr. Williams will return to Oregon and put him- self therein training to take the place of Kelly (Gemocrat) in the Senate two years hence; but it 1s also given out that Ben Holladay, the railway and steamsiip king of Oregon, a a large force o¢ active republicans out there say that they have had enough of Williams and that ue will come to the Senate no more, Some of the Attorney Gen~ eral’s decisions, good or bad, have Gxed him in | that quarter, and besides, the “cat is out of the bag” in the Department of Justice, and General Grant bas bad enough of Mr, Williams, Be it un- derstood that Williams is aa honest man, as the world goes, but there bave been lofuences be- hind Dim that have oficially brought nim down, Of Secretary Delano they say, that whereas he ‘Was poor and has become rich, and that woereas seven millions are expended yearly on account of the Indians where four millions ought to be enougao, Delano will retire to escape the wrath to come from ® democratic committee of investiga- tion, which will surely walk into the Iatertor De- partment from the House of Representatives next winter. And shrewd political astrologers here say furthermore that the retirement of Williams and Delano will soon be followed by a general breakup and reconstruction of the Cabi- net; that Pierrepont will take the piace of Wiliams; that Fish will vacate the State Department, and tpat Ben Butler (prepos terous the idea may appear) may take his place; that even the jolly Robeson will have to walk the plank, and that Belknap, too, will go out, The Cabinet will be reconstructed to screngtben the administration and the party be- hind it, and if anybody can be found who has heard General Grant say that he is not in the flela for another Presidential term, but wishes it to be understood that be bas withdrawn from the course, let that man be prodaced. But why ail these leakages and trouies in the Cabinet of late? Tuey may be thus explained. | The President has the same dislike against news- papers thata turkevcock has against ared rag. He Goes not read tne newspapers, he will not see as a rule, and alt news. of corruptions in this or he denounces a’ “more Dewspaper lies.” He is an honest, come- and-go-easy man. He tikes money, for he pas been very poor and knows how needful it 1s; out he spends bis money freely, and he is not rich But the great trouble with him is thas be will not read or listen to the newspapers, and hence be lives in the dark im regard to tne corrupt doings around him, until some glaring case, by some bold invruder, is thrust ander his nose. Then he acts, as in the case of Willams. But for his foolis! aversion to newspapers he would be a shrewd poli tucian, As it Is, he 18 most of the time biundering in the dark, bus he thinks it will allcome out rignt at last, paper reports that department THR MAIL CONTRACT FRAUDS.

The raid of Wednesday night was followed by another last night, resuiting in tne death of one man and the narrow escape of another. The raid of last night occurred at tie house of James Mor- Tison, Some two or three miles beyond the scene of Wednesday night's disturbance. Jasper Ely, Whose place was attackea the previous night, to. gether with his brother-in-law, F. Landerburn, Were stopping at Morrison's over night On the arrival of the mob Ely escaped by climbing a tree. Landerburn was badly beaten by the crowd and received a flesh wound tn tne head from a musket bal. He fired Cte eee shots during the née and evidently killed one o! the miners, as one of their number was discovered by the crowd at the head Of the Stairs in@ dying condition. Tails dis- covery distracted the attention of the mob, and while they Were disposing of their comrade, who by this time was dead, Landerburn made bis e& cape. Mr. Landerburn was one of those mer- chants doing business in Hazleton who REFUSED TO ASSIST THE SUBRIFP when the latter needed assistance. He had also been supplying the miners with muskets for a year or two past, and mis experience of lust night among bis cbosen iriends had 80 disgusted pim as to lead him to Make @ personal requvst to Gen- eral Osborne that the troops should not only not ve withdrawn, bat that the Outposts may be ex- tended and strengthened. In view of his previous opposition to the troops his sudden conversion causes Much amusement and comment.
