We ask in all conscience in view of the recent terrible disaster which caused the murder of near one hundred and fif ty precious souls, is it not time that companies or private individuals Are held to a strict accountability : for con tinuing in active service old rotten hulls that are liable to oio thelxiitam on-tho least provocation ? Is it not time- that inspectors ot steamboats and steamships especially were also held to a strict ac countability for granting; certificates to such unseaworthy and rotten vessels as the late Pacific seems to have been ? Shall men who seem to be lost to every other thought but that of putting mon ey in their purses, be permitted . to go on murdering their fellowmen by whole sale without let or hindrance ? Com pel these rich corporations, to whom are trusted the lives of our fellow-citi zens, to be answerable with their lives and fortunes for their safety, and old worn out, rotten vessels will not be im posed upon a long suffering people. Have we not had enough similar disas ters to that of tfce Pacific on this coast to awaken public attention and condem nation, or must similar outrages be com mitted for the next centnry and the lives ot our best citizens betaken rnur. dered . outright before our people, before the people of the whole country, will arrise in the majesty of their might . and demand that better laws be made for the government and guidance of vessel wner.t,' or that' those already ' enacted Le rigidly and honestly enforced? THE LATE TERRIBLE DIS ASTER AT SEA. 275 Persons go Down on the UKW OF THE STEAXEB PACIFIC The steamship Pacific, which sailed from Victoria Thursday morning, Nov. 4th, foundeied at sea, forty miles west of Flattery.

STATEMENT OF IIEXRY I.. JKI.LEY : ; My name, is Henry Frederick Jelley. I am a native of Ireland, but bave lived for the last nine years in the Dominion ot Canada, and am of the age of 22 years. I took cabin passage on board the steam ship Pacific ot which J. D. Howell was master, on the morning of Thursday the 4th inst, for a voyage to San Francisco, Cal., and on the same morning at about 9:15 the steamer left the harbor of Vic toria, B. C There were about 500 people on board more or less and we steamed all that day against a head wind, blowing from the southeast fresh. During the day the crew were constantly pumping water into the boats to keep the steamship on an even keel, first on one side and then oti the other, and she would list to either side Alternately, as I noticed the boats ai. aft the paddle-boxes had no oars in then? on either side, but the forward boats bed oars in them. Between 8 and 9 o'clock that evening, and while I was iu the cabin in bed ' I heard a crash and felt a shock as it we had struck a rock, or something of the kind, and heard some thing fall as it a lot oi roexs naa broken into and fallen in her starboard bow, and immediately heard the bell strike to stop her, and then to back her and then strike to go ahead. I went on deck and there beard voices forward say, "It is all right; we have only struck a ves sel, and looking around I saw several lights some r!'tance off bri our starboard beam. I think there were three lights, but 1 do not think they were colored lights, but did not pay much attention to them. I went back into the cabin and i was about to turn in, when I noticed her taking a heavy list to port, and then thought Blic was going down and went on deck. 1 heard some one say slie is making water very last forward. ; Went forward to the pilot-house, aud there beard the purser asK the captain what boat he would take charge of ; did not hear JUie answer. 1 asked the captain if ' there were no blue lights or a gun. He told me I would find blue light in the pilot-house. vi The captain was at that tune eomiug out of bis own room. and did not see him after that. I then, with another man, whom I did not know "went iuto the pilothouse, found six blue lights, and S3t five ot them off ; lost the other one. 1 then noticed that the en gines were still working, but no one was at the wheel. I then went on deck to the starboard side, forward the paddle box, where a number of men were try ing to get the long boat out, but they could not do it. I then went to see about the pert boat forward, and helped five or six Ladies into it, and tried to get the boat off, but we could not budge the boat. There were about twenty ladies iu that boat. I there heard it said that the two boats abaft the wheels had got ten off but did not see them. 1 be boat I -was near was partly f nil of water and we could not get her off at all. ' I think it was about an hoar from the time the steamer struck up to the time when she listed to port, so much ' that the port boat was let iuto the water and cut loose from the davits, f l was in this boat which when it touched the water begau to fill and turned over. I crawled upon the bottom of the boat and helped sev eral others up with me. Immediately alter toe steamer , seemed to break n two fore and aft, and one half tlie mioke stack tell to port, and the smoke stack struck our boat and pushed it away, and the steamsbipitfk; sunk. . I think about all the ladies were in our boat and when she upset they all fell into the water and I tear they were drowned, rhis was about 10 iri the evening. The night was i otdark, nor was the sea very rough, but there was a fresh breeze. I afterwards left the bottom of our boat, and, with another man, climbed on the top of the pilot house, which was float ing near, and we held on the upper wire that came out of the top. Next morn ing I got some life preservers floating near the house, and, with their ropes, lashed myself and my comrade on to the house. I saw three rafts. The first one bad olie man on ; the next had three men and a woman, and the other I could not make out for the distance, ex cept that there were human beings on it. I think we were thirty or forty miles south of the Cape when the vessel sunk. We passed the light on Tatoosh Island between four and five o'clock on the evening of the 4th. I and my comrade were on the top of the pilot housa all of the 5th, until about 4 o'clock p. m., wdeu he died. I then cut him loose. The sea was running very high ail day, aud I think my comrade was drowned by the waves washing over him, lie not being strong enough to hold his head up aud the waves constantly washing over us. Soon after ho died I sighted a vessel and called and also heard the people on the other rafts calling. I did not see the other rafts after that and that vessel did not come near me. I spent Friday night on my raft. There was little wind until 'morning when it came on to blow again, and the sea be came very rough. I was then within a mile from the Vancouver shore. I sighted two vessels on the Washington shore, that passed on, aud about 10 o'clock a. m. on the 6tb, (Saturday) saw a vessel bearing down on me. I was very weak by that time, but waiv ed my hat and the vessel sent a boat and took me tip. The vessel's name, I learn, is the Messenger, and the cap tain, whose name is J. F. Gilkey; gave me every attention and kindness possi ble, and did everything in his power to relive my wants. HENRY F. JELLEY. The Pacific was a wooden side wheel steamer, of about 900 tons, built in 1851 by W. II. Brown, ot New York. She was nearly rebuilt here by the Pacific Mail Company two years ago. She was docked and surveyed the trip' before the last and given a certificate "A 2." Her value was about $100,000. Her cargo was hops and oats, worth about $25,000. Insurance on the ship is $47,500, divided nearjl equally amongst Fireman's Fund Union, State Investment, Com mercial, Swiss Loyds and New Orleans Mutual companies. Capt. Howell had the reputation of an efficient officer. The ship's complement was as follows: Master, J. D. Howell; first officer, A. N. McDonongh ; second, A. Wells; third, J. M. Lewis ; purser, O. like, jr., freight clerk, S. H. Bigeley ; chief engineer, T. Houston ; assistant, D. M. Bassett ; oil ers, T. Lestrangeand J.Dngan carpen ter, R. Erickson ; watchman, Henry Norris ; steward, J. Martin ; second steward Chas. II. Jackson ; steerage steward, S. McNichol ; first cook, J. M. "Hollinsworth ; second cook, S. Miles; third cook, C. H. W biting ; baker, 1 hos. Mnlloy ; porter, Robert T. McNemaine ; stewardess, Hannah Mnir. There were also five fireman, four coal passers, ten seamen, two messmen, two pantry men and eight waiters. 1 " In the absence of further particulars, Capt. Go'.dall, of Goodall, Nelson & Perkins, owners, and many seafaring men, believe the ship met a heavy south easter, which may be expected there at this season. The Pacific was one ot the best sea boats' on the coast. It is be lieved that the survivor picked np may be in error as to the fate of other boats, as the steamer was provided with extra large and safe lite boats. LATER. A Port Townsend dispatch of the 10th, has additional particulars. The steamer Goliah which had just arriv'od at that port, reported saving of another man by the revenue cutter Wolcott? Capt. Harwood, wliQ was the quarter master. He was found at 3 o'clock on Monday morning, S3 miles iuside the Cape, on the paddle-boxes and upper deck of the Pacific, which at one time formed the raft on which Mr. Jelley was floating, having been in the water 80 hours. Ten men and one woman were on this raft at one time the quar termaster only survives. The woman was washed overboard, and the chief engineer and first officer jumped after I save her; and all were lost. Captain Howey was on this rait, and only gave out Sunday morning, being at the time the only survivor, except this quarter master. When the cutter approached the raft the only survivor, the quarter master, was discovered asleep in a box on the raft. The Pacific positively col lided with a vessel which struck her amidships and broke her in two. ' Hie steamer California passed in plain sight ot the raft, while several were surviv ing. " Other vessels also passed in their vicinity. The two boats did get away from the wreck. The Wolcott also re covered one or two dead bodies. TheGussie Telfair reports seeing a vessel in distress outside the Cape, which was undoubtedly the vessel that collid ed, with the Pacific. She also recovered flima dead bodies. i It is now leported that there were i j il. :f l - l 27 o persons on ouaru tuo wjv The treasure amounted to over $78,000 for the banks, while there was $100,000 In private hands. j -Thero isn't but one pair of lavender pants in Atlanta, and the young man who owns them is almost buried under invitations to open a menagerie with himscU as the chief curiosity. More Teasels Lost. The steamer City of Waco, was burnd outside of Galveston bar on the 8th, and it is believed all on doard were lost. Her crew and officers numbered 30 men and she carried .20 "passengers. She was an iron-screw ship, and was valued at $250,000, and had on board a cargo valued at $100,000. Fredrick Hoffman and three sailors of the brig Helen G. Rich, lost Sept. 25th, on Damas Bay, off the coast of Cuba, have arrived in New York. Hoffman states that on the sixth day after the Mich went ashore he observed poles standing out from the rocks on the Key's two miles away, aiid with some of the sailors, rowed to the spot and discovered the hull of an iron vessel near!" submerged near their lauding place. In a rough, circular structure, built of stones, they found two unrecog nizable, decomposed bodies of seamen ; in another a third body was found, and on the opposite side of the principal hut was found a third shelter, iu which was found still another body, in a re cumbent position, resting against the wall. There was no food found, and it was evident the men had died Irom starvation. It is believed that the brigs J. W. Spencer and Torento, and the schooners Moses Patton, Nettie Chase and Sereue were lost, with all ou board, during the terrible hurricane which recently caused so much damage at Jackmel, Jamaica aud St. Iago. Care killed a cat, says an old raw. Yes, and so did the bite of a cat kill a lad named Kare a few weeks ago in an English town. lie had undertaken to drown the cat for a penny, and in the act the animal gave him the bite which in a short time proved fatal. Tlie doc tors pronounced it hydrophobia, and the jury's verdict was "accidental death." Hydrophobia is, therefore, in that place accidental. The people there ought to beware of accidents and of cats. The Leeds Mercury of late date gives an account of the desperate and success ful resistance which a farmer's wife made, during her husband's absence one day, to the wicked eft'erts ot their three" farm hands all young men to outrage her. The brave and good wife fought her assailants for nearly halt a day, and was nearly exhausted when rescue came; but she fought triumphantly ; and the villians were committed for trial. The telegraph tells ns that the reviv al meetings, under charge ot Moody and Sankey, in Brooklyn, have been fruitful ingood results, : and that the pastoTS of several of the churches in the city have declan d their intentions to keep up the meetings after the depar ture of the great evangelists. The saluioir supplv ot London tor the present year, to September, was only 21,550 boxes. It was 41,705 boxes in 1874.

When" a man has to settle cash or property on a woman before she wi!l marry lilm; io one can blame him for going out behtjjd the old tannery in his old age asking the" Autumnal winds : "Why in thunder di 3n't some one kick me over a meeting-hout,e?"

' Miss Ida Demorest, whom the Grand Duke Alexis considered the hand somest woman in the United States, has married a Nebraska doctor. A mam spitting rails in Texas with stolen tools was killed, awhile ago, by a rebounding wedge, and still, in the face of this awful example there are people who forget the statement that "the wedges of sin is death."

Ti e St. Paul Pres : It is in pursu ance of the regular Quaker policy that Old Zach. has been appointed secretary of the interior. Zach. is not merely a quaker he is a Tegular old earthquaker. The success of the Treasury Depart ment in its efforts to bring the perpetra tors of the whisky frauds to justice is re ally something remarkable. It looks as if the thieves would have very little ot the swag left, by the lime they7 have got through with their fines and penalties and settled their expense ' accounts. Such thorough work as is done in those cases will inspire the whisky ring with a respect for the government such as they have never entertained heretofore, be sides adding quite an item to the reve nues of the government. On the heel of the terrible disaster which carried the large list of passengers of the Pacific to the bottom ot the sea, comes intelligence of a number of similar events, though on a smaller scale, at the East. These horrifying disasters are apparently increasing in frequency every year. There can be no doubt that in many cases they are nothing short of wanton sacrifices of human life to the greed of gain of the owners. j The ITerakPs London special states that letters have just been received from Henry M. Stanley which are exceeding ly interesting. They are dated Ulagal alla in Urganda, and give an elaborate aud picturesque account of the continua tion and conclusion of his examination of the shores ot the Victoria Nyanza. They confirm Speke's view that the great lake is one large body of water, and not a series of small lakes, as held by Dr. Livingstone.
