? ? ?? ? VorelgB AfTalr?. LONDON, May 24.-It has been ascer? tained that the vessel which was in collision with the steamship Baltimore, off Hastings, night before lust, was the Spanish Borew steamship Lorenzo Zem prutn. She received no injuries. The luggage of passengers of the Baltimore and the cargo in the after compartments will be saved, but the forward compart? ments is filled with water. When the orew of the Baltimore attempted to lower her boats, just after the collision, the gearing used for that purpose would not work, and it was impossible to float them. The passengers were seized with consternation, but their fears of a watery grave wore soon allayed by the prompt? ness with whioh the coast guard at Hastings carno to their assistance.

After considerable discussion, the report was adopted. The new Bishops were consecrated to-day. Seven dead bodies from an emigrant ship were sent to the morgue to-day. The inquest will, it is said, develop the fact that the deaths were caused by diar? rhoea, snperinduoed by inferior provi? sions.

Gree? ley men were eleoted to Baltimore, WARRANTY OF A WIFE.-Does the or? dinary process of giving away a bride involve a o?anse warranting her to be sound in wind and limb? The Savannah Republican condenses a case upon this point, as follows: This delicate question has got to be solemnly adjudicated upon by a court in Oregon, and thousands of parents will surely await the result with breathless interest. Mr. Amasa Swear ingern is the plaintiff in the oase. Two years ago, ho took to himself a wife. Soon after the marriage, she was taken sick, and has been altogether unfit for domestio duties ever since. Amasa is discouraged, especially as the most libe? ral divorce laws in the country do not | make sickness a ground for dissolving the marriage tie. Accordingly, he has determined to seok redress from his father-in-law. He proceeds as for a broach of warranty, averring in his com? plaint that the defendant represented that the girl was robust and healthy; that by reason of such representations, ho was indooed to marry her, and that Buch representations were not true, but were false, and were intended to deceive him, the said plaintiff. Then follows the ad damn inn clause, whioh is worked up into a fine eli max in the sum of $5,000. Certainly, the proceeding is not alto? gether inconsistent with the commercial principle on whioh yonng women are often disposed of in marriage by their parents. But the court will probably bold that the rule, caveat emptor, applies in this case. A Cheyenne reporter thus describes a dress work at a party there: "Miss ll. wore a polonaise made of blue jeans, postillioued in tho back, cut vis-a-vis with a detrop bias, and gored iu tho most sanguinary manner."

Tho following is the offioinl notice to Mr. Greeley pf the Liberal Republican nomination: CINCINNATI, OHIO, May 3, 1872. DEAR Sr. : Tho National Convention of the Liberal Republicans of the United States have "instructed the undersigned, President, Vice-President and Secreta? ries of the Convention, to inform you that you have been nominated as tho candidate of the Liberal Republicans for the Presidency of tho United States. Wo also submit to you tho address and resolutions unanimously adopted by the Convention. Be pleased to siguify to us your ac? ceptance of tho platform and tho nomi? nation, and believe us, very truly yours, C. SCHURZ, President. GEO. W. JULIAN, vice-President. WM. E. MCLEAN, ) JOHN G. DAVIDSON, >. Secretaries. J. H. RHODES, ) HON. HORACE GREELEY, N9W York city. NEW YORK, May 20, 1872. GENTLEMEN: I hare ohosen not to ac? knowledge your lottor of the 3d instant, until I could learn how the work of your Convention was received in all parts ol our groat country, and judge whothei that work was approved and ratified by tho mass of our fellow-citizens. Theil response bas from day to day reached me through telegrams, letters and the comments of journalists independent ol official patronage and indifferent to thc smiles or frowns of power. The nnmbei and character of these unconstrained, unpurchased, unsolioited utterance! satisfy me that the movement whicl found expression ut Cincinnati has re coived tho stamp of publio approval, anc been hailed by a majority of our conn trymon as tho harbinger of a better dai for the republic. I do not misinterpret this approval ai especially complimentary to myself, no even to the chivalrous and justly-es teemed gentleman with whoso name 1 thank your Convention for associatioj mine. I receive and welcome it as i spontaneous and deserved tribute to tba admirable platform of principles, whereii your Couventiou so tersely, so lucidly, s forcibly set forth the convictions whicl impelled and the purposes which guide' its course-a platform which, austin, behind it the wreck and rubbish of woru out contentions uud by-gone feuds, em bodies in fit and few words tho need and aspirations of to-day. Though thov sands stand ready to condemn you overy ucl, hardly a syllable of oriticisi or cavil has been aimed ut your platfora of which tho substance may be fairl epitomized as follows: I. All the political rights and frai chises whioh have been acquired by oi: late bloody convulsion must an i shall t guaranteed, maintained, enjoyed, r< apected evermore. II. AU the political rights and frai chises whioh have been lost through th; convulsion should and must be prompt re-established, so that there shall 1 henceforth no proscribed class and i disfranchised caste within the limits our Union, whose long-estranged pt op shall re-unitp and fraternize upon tl broad basis of universal amnesty wi impartial suffrage. III. That, mi bj net to our solemn co stitutional obligation to maintain tl equal rights of all citizens, our poli should aim at local self-government, ai not?t centralization; that the civil a thority should be supreme over the mi tary; that tho writ of habeas corp should be jealously upheld as the sa guard of personal freedom; that the i dividual citizen should enjoy the larg< liberty consistent with publio order; a that there shall be no Federal subversi of tho internal polity of the seve States and municipalities, but that ea shall be left free to enforce the rigl and promote the well-being of its inha tauts by such means as the judgment its own people shall prescribe. IV. There shall be a real and i merely a simulated reform in the ci service of the republic; to which end is indispensable tint the chief dispen of its vast official patronage shall shielded from the main temptation use bis power selfishly by a rule inexo bly forbidding and precluding his election. V. That the raising of revenue, w thor by tariff or otherwise, shall recognized and treated as the peop immediate business, to be shaped i directed by them through their rei sentatives in Congress, whose not thereon the President must neither w rule by his veto, attempt to dictate, presume to punish, by bestowing oi Only on those who agree with him withdrawing it from those who do no VI. That the public lands must sacredly reserved*for occupation and qnisition by cultivators, and not rt lossly squBndered on the projectors railroads for which our people have present need, and the prematuro c struotion of whioh is annually plunj us into deeper and deeper abysse! foreign indebtedness. VIE. That the achievement of tl grand purposes of universal benefice is expected and sought ak the bandi all who approve them, irrespective post affiliations. VIII. That the public faith must a hazards bo maintained, and the nati orodit preserved. IX. That the patriotic devoted and inestimable services of our iel citizens who, as soldiers or Bailors, held tho Aug and maintained tho u of thu republic shall over bo grate remembered and honorably requited These propositions, so ably und f bly presented in the platform of Convention, havo already fixed th? tention anil commanded tho assent largo majority of our countrymen, joyfully a.lopt thom, as I do, as tho of a true, be-ueiicent national rccous tiou-of a new departure from ousies, strifes and hates, which h iv longer ad?quate motive or even plausible pretext, into an atmosphere of peace, fraternity and mutual good will. In vain do the drill-sergeants of decaying organizations flourish menacingly their truncheons, and angrily insist that the files shall bo closed and straightened; in vain do the whippers-iu of parties once ] vital because rooted ia the vital needs of the hour protest against straying and bolting, denouncing men nowise their inferiors as traitors and renegades, and threaten them with infamy and ruin. I am confident that tho American people have already made your cause their own, fully resolved that their brave hearts and strong arms shall bear it on to tri? umph. lu this faith, and with the dis? tinct understanding that, if elected, I shall bo the President not of a party, but of the wholo people, I accept your I nomination, in the confident trust that j the masses of our countrymen, North aud South, are eager to clasp hands j across tho bloody chasm which has too long divided them, forgetting that they have been enemies in the joyful con? sciousness that they are and must hence? forth romain brethren. Yours, grate? fully, HORACE GREELEY. To Hon. CARL SCHURZ, President; Hon. GEOROE W. JULIAN, Yioe-President; and Messrs. WM. E. MCLEAN, JOHN G. DAVIDSON, J. H. RHODES, Secreta? ries of the National Convention of the 1 Liberal Republicans of the United States. MORE ARRESTS-STRAW BONDS, &C. The following are the only names we could learn who have been arrested under tho Ku Klux or Enforcement Acts, since our last issue: Warren E. Davis*-this is the third time ho has been arrested-Clough Bishop, arrested the second time, Thos. Steen,* W. Brown, Jr., Robert Howell,* W. Addis, Ambrose Adams,* James Adams,* Ebenezer Bailey,* John Fos ter. Thomas Hyatt, arrested in Alabama. The following were arrested under charges for violating the revenue law: J. W. Duncan* and Samuel Howell. Those marked thus (*) have been re? leased under bonds. Grant's "night riders" appear to bo1 uncommonly busy in this County at this time. Scarcely a night passes that one or more United States marshals, with one or more squads of soldiers, are not scouring our County in search of victims to the Ku Klux and Enforcement Act. One feature of this night riding strikes us as very suspicious. A number of j persons have been arrested and immedi-1 ately turned loose, upon their own re? cognizance, and told by the officials "you can go, and it is not probable you will ever be called for again." Now, a great majority of these self-bailed men are uot worth more than the clothes they wear, consequently their bonds are "straw." If their crimes are so slight ns uot to require any bond or imprison- ! ment, we would like to know why the Government is put to the enormous ex? pense of arresting them? It looks to us very much like a great imposition, if not a swindle upon the Government. There is a strong suspicion that this night riding has turned into an infamous electioneering scheme, by whioh men are arrested, and if they promise adhe? sion to the Radical party, they are im? mediately released. We oannot say that there is any solid foundation for this suspicion; but when we consider that one or more of the marshals are talked of as being candidates for certain offices, at the fall election, we do not wonder at the suspicion. If reports are trne, about every Northern man who has oome to this County, within the past two years, will be a candidate for office next fall. It should also be remembered that nearly every one of them now holds an office either under the Federal or State Go? vernment. If the suspicion alluded to is correct, it is a profitable and effective way of eleotioneering. For the information of the Columbia Union, which announced last week that R, B. Lebanon, (Leonard) "the noto? rious murderer of Union County," had been arrested, we state that this "noto? rious murderer" has been released on his owu recognizance, and turned loose as a special deputy marshal to hunt np and arrest his old Ku Klux associates. From what we can learn, and the exul? tant manner in whioh the Union heralded his arrest, we are led to believe that the authorities are in possession of much positive evidence to convict Leonard of being an active participant in a number1 of the very worst kind of Ku Klux out? rages-even to murder-but by making a confession of his crimes he has secured bis freedom, and is rewarded with a po? sition that will enable the marshals to make him a tool for the Government, by whioh to keep up this infernal hunt after avery man and boy suspected of having aver belonged to the Ku Klux organiza? tion. It matters not whether the party hunted has been guilty of committing any greater crime than simply being a member-"all are fish who get into the meshes of the United States Marshals' nets." Every arrest put so muon money into their pockets, and they are gather? ing tho moat abundant harrest any one of them ever expeots to reap again. [t7nio>? Times. A bold balloonist, named Wise,, has startled the "Hub" by announcing his intention of setting out from the Com? mon on the 4th of Juiy, with a balloon iud a boat, to cross the Atlantic Ocean. This rash aeronaut may be Wise now, but if he embarks on that perilous ven? ture, we doubt very much if ho conti? nues Wise long after the 4th of July. SEAMAN DROWNED.-Robert Gaillard, colored, ouo of the hands on board of tho sloop Alice, Captain Martin, was frowned last Friday evening, off White Point, at tho junction of the North Bdisto and Dawho Rivers. NEW POST OFFICE.-A post ellice has hc-cn established nt Early Branch, on tho Port Royal il ilroad, and Mr. John W. Evans, of Charleston, appointed to its superintendence. OK BATHING.-Tho benefit to be de? rived by all olasses from personal abla? tion is of universal interest, and highly esteemed in ancient record. The physi? cal strength and vigorous constitution of the Greeks and Homans are justly attri? buted as much to their habits of bathing as to their regular exercise. It must be remarked generally, in reference to cold bathing, that the head should tonch the water first, us the blood naturally re? cedes from that part of the body whick first comos in contact with the cold. The water, on touching the surface of the body, gives a shock to the whole system, and the blood is forced from the superficial to the deep-seated vossels; and, on leaving the water, provided the bather has been in a moderate time, a re-action takes place from the centre to the surface; this kind of circulation is very healthy, and in it consists the great benefit of the cold bath. Warm baths are of greater importance than is gene? rally supposed. They may be taken with advantage both summer and winter, and while the body is at any degree of temperature. They are not in any de? gree, when used in moderation, debilita? ting; but, on the contrary, are attended with health and vigor. The warm bath has a powerful effect in exciting the cir? culation of the blood, and in promoting perspiration and other natural secretions, thereby effeoturlly arresting many inci? pient diseases. In connection with the bath, for any partial ablution, common salt may be advantageously used.
