She is only twenty-one feet long, but is provisioned for three months. The captain expects to make the passage inside of fifty days. Thc crew consists of one man besides tho captain, nnd the inevitable Newfoundland dog goes as a passenger. While New Yorfc is the nominal destination, the captain will make any conve? nient port lathe United States. Quite a crowd of people had collected at the wharf lo wit? ness the departure of the tiny vessel. -Last week a passenger train on the West Wisconsin Railroad met with a startling adven? ture near the Town of Tomah. A fire in the woods had communicated to a pile of about five hundred oak tics, seasoned two years, which laid alongside Hie track. A curve in the road concealed the danger from thc engi? neer till/ he was nearly at the fire. He imme diately Whistled "down brakes," but seeing that this would Btop him in the fire, he whist ied "off brakes," and putting on ail steam possible, determined to run the gauntlet. The .9 ? y i had been so badly warned, and the ties e lusumed, that the engine was soon thrown irom. the track, bumping along on the ties Hil it was finally brought to a halt, with thc en . gine and tender just through the fire, and a . ladies car at the other end of thc train also free. The engine and tender were immediate? ly uncoupled and run to a place of safety, and the passenger car also disengaged and remov : ed, although not before lt was badly scorched and the glass broken from the windows. The .rest, of the train, consisting of one baggage car, one second-class, and two freight cars, were entirely consumed. -A cable dispatch asserts that the discus? sion upon the Infallibility dogma is now being carried on with considerable warmth, and the argument, lt is thought, will not be terminated before the latter part of July. The following purports to be a sketch of tho debate on Mon? day: "The opposition first obtained the lloor, and thc bishops of St. Brience and St. Gail spoke against infallibility. Bishop C?lele, of Roetaenbtirg, made an energetic appeal, de? claring that three successive (Ecumenical . Councils hud anathematized Pop? Honurius, - denouncing him as a heretic. Prince Cardinal . Schwartzenbursrreferred In language of con * tempt to the excuses of partisans of the dog? ma in their endeavors to explain away Hie . truth and justice of the arguments against Pope Honori a's affirmation that infallibility ' was most inopportune, because such argu? ments were fidse and ill-founded. He quoted from tho works of eminent theologians, ad? ducing authority to prove that Popes could be deposed for heresy. Cardinal Von Rauscher, though a deputy, entered a strong protest in behalf of society and the interests of the civil government against any proceedings prejudi? cial to the cause of freedom of thought and action. The tenor of the document was blend? ed with expressions ol devotion to the Holy See." -The New York papers mention a remarka? ble case of kleptomania, the kleptomaniac be? ing a lady who devotes her leisure aud ability to stealing parasols. It appears tiiat the wo? man In question lias been married for some four or Ave years, but lier husband till thc present time hus never had tile least suspicion of her singular tailings. Mrs. Smith-to call her, for convenience sake, by a wholly im? personal nauie-had in her large and elegant h?rtsc a Uillc boudoir which she always kent closely locked. When examined the other day, by some detectives, the walls of this apart? ment were found decorated with nearly a hun? dred parasols of all sizes and varieties, from the cheapest to the most expensive. There were several richly decorated with lace, valued at fifty dollars apiece. ?The kleptomaniac has been several years forming this uniqne collec? tion, and on one or two occasions, when de? tected in Hie act by storekeeper?, managed to hush up tho matter by restitution or purchase of tiie stolen property. She had an odd habit of giving names to her favorite parasols, se? eding them from poems, novels and plays. The latest addition to Hie stock-an elegant white parasol with heavy fringe-was called "Frou-Prou;" others bore labels with such names as "Pickwick," "Little Dorrit," "Lady of the Lake," "Elaine," "Clara Vere de Vere," "Evangeline," "Ophelia," "Rosalind," and Hie like; and one large specimen, bordering on the umbrella species, bore the gloomy name of "Lady Macbeth." The husband of the lady in question is undecided what course to pur? sue in this curious emergency; as to the fair kleptomaniac herself, she professes to bc overwhelmed with contrition and remorse. The family will certainly remunerate thc spo? liated parasol dealers for their Josses, and the matter will probably be hushed up. Tl?c PMttlng-off Policy. Any declaration of principles, or rule.? of action, that may be put forth by the Reform Convention, must include a recognition of the civil and political equality of all citizens of the State. Upon this point there is, we presume, no difference of opinion. When, however, the question before tho Convention is the uomiuation of candidates for Governor and Lieuteuatit-Governor, there will hardly be, in the beginning, a similar unanimity of sentiment. Some of the most influential journals in thc State think it unwise for the (Apposition party to make nominations as early as the lf>lh of June, and here and there a paper is found to recommend that no nominations at all be made upon the general ticket, in order that tho Reformers may con? solidate their whole strength upon the legis? lative and county canvass. One main argument used by the Putting off party is, that we can act with more cer? tainty when we know the plans of the enemy. Under other circumstances sucli an argu? ment might have some force, but, in the present case, its practical effect would be a heavy loss of valuable time, without any compensating advantage. Four months is not too long a time for the work we have to do. In one county alone-Union County has any plan of organization been adopted. Nor can wc expect that the counties, in gen? eral, will move until our candidates are in the field. Take this county as an example. It is useless to attempt to form ward clubs and township associations until we know who is our standard-bearer, and what is Hie banner under which we hope to march to victory. Supposing that we postpone a nomi? nation until uftcr tho adjournment of the Radical Convention, we caunot possibly get lo work earlier than the beginning of Au? gust. In two months thc organization of the whole State must bo perfected; iii two months the State must be so thoroughly can? vassed that, when election day comes, every honest voter shall be ready to deposit his ballot for the sturdy candidates or Retrench? ment and Reform. Now, is it probable, is it possible, that this gigautic task can be ac? complished in a little over eight weeks ? We say, unhesitatingly, that if the State canvass do not begin until after the holding of the Radical Convention, we shall go into Hie contest with incomplete organization and imperfect knowledge, and shall invite, and, we fear, deserve a speedy overthrow. And what are we promised as a compen? sation for lying idle from June to August-as a compensation for the loss of two months ef precious time? If we wait, toe skull know uko are the Radical nominees, and may. perchance, pick up some defeated candidate, or cast-off dependant of the party. This is ail, in this direction, that wc may hope to gain by procrastination, by hesitation, by putting-ofV. But all this we know without awaiting Hie action of the RuuVcal Convention, winch as? sembles in July. Governor Scott is to be the nominee ot tin Ring for re-election. The Missionary Record daunts his name at the head of its dingy columns, and every Radi? cal paper lu the State, (three, we believe,) takes it for granted that Scott is the coming man. AndJopkiug at the course of State politics, at Tue removal and appointment of State and county officers, at the organiza? tion of the militia, at the manipulation of the Railroad Riugs, and at the relations of the present officials to the Executive, it cannot be doubted that Governor Scott desires tobe re-elected, that he has beeu working for months to make his way straight, and that he will bc the ready choice of the knot of schemers who coutrol the Radical party. This, then, is the whole case ia a nutshell. If we defer the Reform nominations until August, we shall kuow, before acting, who are the RadicuL^uominees. Thia is all that we get in exchange for two months wasted. But we know already, to a moral certainty, that Scott will be the Radical candida.tr>. That is to say, by waiting until the heats of summer we may know officially what we kuow extra-officiully to-day. We attach no importance to the suggestiou that there may be opposition to Scott, and that we can take up the man who has fruitlessly opposed him. It is not likely that Scott will be opposed, if opposed at all, by any but men of lus own kidney, and to run a Mackey or u Moses against Scott, would be, in truth, what the Augusta Constitutionalist classically calls "swapping a devil for a witch." Nor have we any desire to take up auy mau us our candidate whoso claim to distinction is, that he ran against Scott In the nominating Con? vention aud was decisively defeated. The prestige of defeat we do not value or desire. Unless, then, the Convention shall hear more cogeut and conclusive arguments than those we have discussed, there will be no se? rous opposition, we luke it, to the imme? diate nomiuatiou of able and honest candi? dates, wbo may at otice open the canvass with the stirring watchwords of Retrench? ment and Reform. Reform .Needed. The Grand Jury of Newberry County sav? in their presentment "they are fully satisfied "that there has been much malpractice with "some of tiie public officers of Uiejcounty, "and particularly with the commissioners "and trial justices; bul they are not in pos? session of such facU as will warrant them I "in recommending proceedings to be com- ' 'menced iu regard to them, or any of them, 'except in the case of Eagao, which is in 'the possession of the court already. They 'are convinced that, while some of the ac? tions of so me of these oificers may have "been prompted by sinister and corrupt mo "tives. the greater part has been the result "of ignorance and incompetence. The "grand jury bestowed much of their time to :'the examination of witnesses in relation to "the receipts and expenditures of the public "money, and called before them several of "the oflicers and many other persons who "were informed on the subject, and with one ..'exception, ail of them testified that the "publicJunds of the county had been waste? fully aud extravagantly expended." Thc Land Commission Swindle. The letter of "A Republican," published in our issue of yesterday, fully confirms the statement, made in our special dispatches a week ago, that the Land Commission appro? priated S120.000 for the purchase of a tract of laud which only cost $30,000. The dif? ference between the amount appropriated, and the amount actually paid to the owner of Hie land, is just $00,000, and this snug sum is now in the hands of-somebody. It is claimed by "A Republican" that Governor Scott and Secretary Cardozo knew nothing of Hie purchase, and that Hie re? sponsibility rests with Mr. Attorney-General Chamberlain, Mr. Treasurer Parker, and Mr. Coniplroller-Geacral Nfcaglp. and tho startling assertion is made that- the.S120,OOo purchase was eiVccted by Mr. Lcslic7r;?tf?' lie" liad resigned the office of Land Commissioner. Tills, if true, aggravates Hie nefarious char? acter of the whole transaction. First of all, $120,000 is appropriated for a purchase of land, and the seller of the land gets only $30,000. This shows a gross neg? ligence, it seems to us, on thc part of Hie members of thc Ad vison*"- Board, who con? sented to Hie purchase. Audit re3ts with them to explain, to the public satisfaction, what lias become of Hie missing ninety thou? sand dollars. Nor can they .stop lhere. Tliey must, in the second place, explain low it is that the purchase was permitted to bo effected by Mr. Leslie after his resig? nation. The charge is made by "A Republican" that Senator Leslie had the lion's share of thc ninety thousand dollars which is miss? ing. This may be. Senator Leslie has been pelted with accusations these many day; But we cannot forget Hiat nothing lias been publicly proved against the erratic senator, and that, when he dared the assembled Sen? ate to demand the reason of his resignation from the Land Commission, no one of his colleagues took up the gauntlet he defiantly threw down. We hope that ali the transactions of Hie Land Commission will be laid bare, but we do not expect it. Tho Advisory Board dare not proclaim to Hie people that Hie Land Commission lias cost the State about half a million dollars for Hie benefit of Jacks-in ofiicc and needy land-owners. The secrets of the Land Commission will not, we fear, be known until late next winter. Thc Charleston Stock Board. It has been in contemplation for some time past to organize a Stock Board in this city, under suitable regulations, with Hie view as well of protecting the public, as of jiving greater regularity and precision to thc transactions of the members. A num? ber of meetings of tho different stock brokers took place in Hie spacious hall in the rear of the ollices of Messrs. Holmes &. Macbeth and Louis McLuin, and on Wednesday the Board was permanently organized, hythe election of the following officers: J. H. Wilson, presi? dent; A. J. White, vice-president; T. Pi tick? ner Lowndes, secretary and treasurer. Thc following gentlemen are members of tho Board: L. D. Dc5au3snre, J. M. Shackel ford, L. Gambrill, Leitch & Bruns. J. T.
