Steamboat Collision
Terrible Suffering of Passengers I
gf
Several Persons Supposed to bt Drowned
CINCINNATI, March 2.—A special to the Chronicle says the Green river packet, Falls City, was run into by the steamer J. W. Garrett, at the mouth of the old canal, Louisville, at midnight, last night, sinking the former. She was struck amidships, sinking to the boiler deck. As she sunk the stove in the texas capsized setting fire to the texas, burning the upper works entirely. The passengers only had time to escape in their night clothes. The Falls City had a valuable cargo and will prove a total IOPS TWO negroes of the crew are missing and are supposed to be drowned.
LATER. SWM*
The Chronicle special giv«3 tlje following particulars of the sinking of the Falls City: The greatest consternation prevailed among passengers when she took fire, men, wjraen and children rushing about the boat, uttering cries tor assistance. She lay near a fleet of empty barges, upon which the passengers escaped to the island with onlv their night clothes, and in their bare feet some jumped into the water and swam ashore. The ground was covered with snow and the night was cold, with a strong wind blowing, which increased the sufferings of the passengers, who remained on the island for nearly an hour, when they were relieved by a New Albany ferryboat. The Falls City was ownedJ)y the Green River Navigation Company, and was valued at $12,000, with $8,000 in the Andes, of Cincinnati, and other companies. The cargo was valued at $35,000 or $40,000. and was fully insured. The hull can be raised. The cargo will prove a total loss.
ANOTHER REPORT.
LOUISVILLE, March 2 —Near midnight last night, the steamer Falls City, Capt. J. V. Sproule, bound for Green river, passed out the mouth of the old canal with a big freight list and 50 cabin passengers, Just below the mouth of the ca* nal she came up to the J. W. Garrett and barge Rachel which had passed through the new canal and
Btopped
at the bank.
As the Falls City came up proper signals were given and replied to by the Garrett, when the Garrett started out from the shore and collided with the Falls City, and the barge Rachel, striking her amidships in the rear of the boilers, cutting into her hull and letting in water freely. The Falls City swung round, and struck her stern against the barge, injuring her wheel and engines so that she became unmanageable. Pilot Geo. Dolly blew the signal of distress repeatedly. Captain Sproule and Capt. Van Meter, a passenger and stockholder in the Falls City, ran to the after part of the boat and shouted to the officers of the Garrett to come to their assistance and take off the women^and children as the boat was sinking rapidly. It is claimed that the officers of the Garrett must have heard the call, as the boats were not then more than fifty yards apart. The Garrett, however, passed on down the river, and the Falls City drilled over to Sand Island and lodged against some coal barges, about fifty yards from the bank, and the passengers were taken ashore, over the barges. A number of the passengers, especially the ladies, escaped only in their night clothes. The night was cold and the ground deep with snow, and despite the efforts of the officers of the Falls City, much suffering ensued. The boat sunk soon after the passengers had left, careening to the starboard, upsetting the stoves in the ladies' cabin and texas, from which she took fire and burned to the water's edge in less than half an hour. The light of the fire was seen in this city, but was supposed to be a fire in New Albany, After remaining on the bank about three hours the passengers were taken to Portland by Captain Moses Irwin, of the ferryboat Conner, from New Albany. The Falls City was built four years ago by the Louisville & Green River Packet Company cost $26,000, and was 190 tons burthen, had been recently overhauled and all government appliances added She was insured for $4,000, in the Andes of Cincinnati. The risk was placed only last night about 6 o'clock. The cargo was insured for about $10,000 in Louisville companies, except $1,200 in the Andes.
The cargo was worth from $50,000 to $75,000. The loss will fall heavily on the owners, but they will immediately secure another boat and put her in the trade. There will probably be nothing saved from the hull. Capt. Robinson thinks the boat and cargo a total loss. An official investigation into the cause of the disaster will be held before the local inspectors on Monday. The flames from the burning boit spread and destroyed two barges belonging to N. J. Begley loss about $1,000. A negro man named Anderson Pearson, belonging to the Falls City, is missing and it is feared was lost on the burning boat. Double the amount of insurance would have been i!aced on the boat last night, but the insurance offices were closed.

THE STOKES TRIAL.
The Grand Jury!
Judge Cardozo Decides it to be Legal.
NEW* YORK, March 2.- Judge Cardozo this morning decided the issue raised in the Stokes case as to the constitution of the grand jury which ibdicted him for murder (Fisk) to be one of law, anl without permitting the question to go to the jury, ordered a verdict be entered for the people and against Stokes. If it was decided hat the grand jury was illegally organized, he says serious consequences might ensue as in respect to a large number of criminals already under indictment. He would grant, however, a stay of proceedings against Stokes for twenty days, to enable his counsel to bring the matter before the Appetate Tribunal. Stokes' counsel excepted all the findings of the court.
When the Stokes case opened this morning McKeon, of counsellor Stokei, referring to the demonstrations of spectators yesterday, when he (McKeon) had announced his belief in Stokes' innocence, said "a similar scene had occurred where the Erie power was on trial in the person of Fisk at the Yorkville Police Court. He had reason to believe that now, as then, the court room was packed with retainers of that power. He asked the court to protect the counsel against them. Judge Cordozo said he thought he had heretofore taken the right course in the matter. Graham said that he was informed that there was a hired gang of twenty-five men employed to watch these proceedings, that they (counsel) had the name of a man on Eighth avenue who was employed to control these men in this matter. When first they went before the Coroner's jury, and were consulting on preliminary points,there was scarcely any one in the.room, and while they were interested in that conversation he had not paid any attention to the audience, but on looking up he had seen such a gang of cut-throats that he sent at once to the police office for a platoon of police who had been furnished to protect them in the court room. He supposed that in their effort to dispose of Stokes, these men would stand at nothing, and Stokes' counsel might receive a shot in the back intended for Stokes. These men were quite capable of shooting. Stokes' counsel had been dogged in streets, there had been /eavesdropping on their consultations, they had had to go into corners to consult in quiet. He seconded the request of his associate, McKeon. .The Judge said he thought everything had been done for the prosecution ot Stokes, and he would take any course to protect the counsel. No one who knew John Graham would suspect him of any cowardice on account of his personal safety. McKeon said he had always lived among thieves, robbers and assassins and he had no fear at all of what might happen to him in presence of the court he did, however, fear what might happen to counsel outside the court house. He knew that Dorman B. Eaton had been attempted to be assassinated, and if it was necessary to remove any one of them, the same means would be employed. He would ask the court to direct the sheriff to place half a dozen men among the audience to control them. Judge Cardozo, after consulting with the sheriff, said that the sheriff told him he already had a dozen men among them. When the Judge's decision had been given, one of the jurors, Van Holland, in a demonstrative manner, preffented to the Judge a newspaper article stating that money would do almost anything in cases of this class to this, the juror excepted. Considerable merriment was created when he announced that he never would consent to se-va his country agkin until the jury syHtem was broken up.
XLII CONGRESS—SECOND SESSION
SENATE.
I W A S IN O N March 2. Mr. Ferry, of Michigan, presented a number of memorials from territories in the Northwest, setting forth reasons why the Chicago relief ought not to pass.
Mr. Logan read a letter in favor of its passage. Messrs. Windom and Ferry presented memorials in modification of the homestead laws.
Mr. Casserly presented a petition front the leading bankers and merchants of San Francisco for the refffrm of the civil service.
Mr. Pratt called up the bill to release to Indiana the lands known as the Bed of Beaver Lake, in Newton county, Indiana, and addressed the Senate thereon. The bill passed.
Mr. Bayard moved to take up his resolution, asking for copies of the instructions given to the District Attorney of New York relative to the prosecution of merchants.
Mr. Conkling said the instructions had been fully published in the newspapers, and there was, therefore, no need to pass the resolution hurriedly. He thought it would be better to wait until he and others could express their views of the resor lution, and of Mr. Bayard's motives in offering it.
Mr. Bayard replied that if he had based his speech on a mere newspaper^ item, Mr. Conkling would have been the first to call him to order. The allusion to his motives he thought ungracious and. necessarily ignorant, as Mr. Conkling had no means of ascertaining them except from his public remarks yesterday besides, judging from Mr. Conkling's. action in reference to tl\e organization of the Retrenchment Committee and its investigations, he feared that the Senator from New York could hardly understand his (Bayard's) motives. He did intend to comment on the conduct of officers who had given instructions, but he wished to base his comments on authentic information. He had asked lor it in the usual and only proper way.
Mr. Trumbull moved to adjourn, which was carried—ye?s, 22 nays, 21.

SALT LAKE, March 3.—The Convention adjourned sinfc die, last evening, after adopting a memorial to Congress which seriously criticises the territorial form of government, and claims a wonderfully exaggerated increase of population, which facta do not bear out, and expresses a loyalty of the Mormon people not confirmed by history. A resolution was passed authorizing Probate Judges to lake the territory by countic, commencing on the third Monday in March, returns to be sent. to delegate Hooper at once. Strong hopes are entertained of swelling the population on paper sufficient to bring the territory in as a State. This movement is regarded as an intentional fraud on the part of Fitch and his brother Mormons by the Gentiles. The most exaggerated estimate now places the population under one hundred thousand. The
Mormons hope to make it thirty thousand more. The U. P. Railroad is again blockaded by snow. No trains from the east for the past 48 hours. There is trouble between Laramie and Rawlins of a serious character. No train from the east to Laramie since the 29th of February.
Press reports from Washington,which state that Judge McKean is sustained by the President, are joyfully received by the Gentiles Mormons are disappointed.

THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON LONDON, March 3.—The Observer, to* day, in an article on the Alabama claims, expresses the opinion that, in case England should renounce the Treaty of Washington, the United States would take no immediate action in con&quence, but would insist on the validity of the right hitherto claimed for American seaman to fi8h in Canadian waters, and on that point weuld meet with no opposition from England. The reply of the American government to Granville's note is expected to reach London in a week from Tuesday.

ON TRIAL.
PARIS, March 3.—An ex-Prefect of the Department of Eure, charged with the embezzlement of funds for the relief of France, is now on trial at Bouen. He was appointed to office under the Empire, since the fall of which he has been conspicuous in defense of the ex-Emperor. Ponyer Quertier, Minister of Finance, appeared before the court last week as a witness, and his testimony was strongly in favor of the accused. His conduct in this matter produces a feeling of great dissatisfaction on the part of some of his colleagues in the cabinet, and it is understood that M. Dufaure and other members threaten to leave it unless he resigns.

POLITICAL.
ST. LOUIS, March 3.—A special from Topeka, Kansas, to the Democrat, says, the call which has been issued for a State Convention to send delegates to the Liberal Republican Convention at Cincinnati has not met with the sucoess its originators expected. Auditor of State Thorman and Senator Haas, of Leavenworth, both Germans, signed the call and it was boasted that the whole German element would follow the movement, but after a week's work but few have fallen into line, and according to present prospects not a quarter of the German vote in the State will leave the Republican party.
The Secretary of State has not yet been furnished with a copy of concurrent resolutioas which directed him to forward a copy of the testimony taken by the Investigating Committee to the Vice President of the United States to lay it before the Senate. It would seem as though the organized effort to keep important testimony out of the way, during the investigation, is kept up to prevent anything official from going to Washington. Numerous efforts have been made to get hold of the testimony, on a pretended wish to copy it, since it went into the hands of the printer, but it is believed the real object was to destroy portions of it.'
