. . WhoF was'Rb^fonstblr??The ques?
tion asked by every one when the Atlan?
tic was dashed on the ehore of Nova
SootJa i? ptaotioally answered!. The
teof the White Star line, who sent
?hip to sea without auffloient ooal
. provisions, are primarily responsi
for the great calamity. The oaptain
audSrihsr officers of the vessel, who ne
plaineet duty, are to be
iireotly charged with easting ashore the
vessel, and 'thereby sending to suddeu
death a multitude of men, women and
children. From the established testi?
mony now before us, it appears that,
although the passage bad not been an
unusually., long one, tho ship had hot
enough coals nor provisions to last to
this port. Criminal parsimony,, or a
neglect equally criminal, had fitted ont
the fated ihip without adequate supply
for the voyage; and so it became ne
oeesary, says the osptsiu, to put into
Halifax. How far the agents or owners
of the line were responsible for what
came next, we need not now inquire.
The officers In charge were incompetent
and nnfiffor their post.
.The captain twd made but one voyage
to-'AmWoa on the ship. He had never
been into <tHo -harbor 'as a shipmaster;
nelWerths? the': second and fourth
t?vOnd?tyon that fatal
tsin had not taken any 1
he was not certain of
_ ^JmWkM ship was running,
_ h he knew it was increasing hourly. I
The night w? not thick; bat hp to mid*
night it had been brilliant with ataraf;
later it was partially obscured by; drifting' j
cloQds. Sambrsi i#ghV.*&&k itawrwa]
its revs twenty miles out to sea,'must
have been in sight more than an hour1
before the ship strtaok. That light is
only nine miles distant from .thai rock
where the wreck was made. Pat these
facts > together, and then look ' a\'the
smokingstatement of Captain WilhamB,
that he went to his room and went to j
?leepl The ship approaching an un?
known and danger-lined coast; officers
ignorant of the navigation before them
are an doty; the ebip is making at least
twelve miles an honr;' conspicuously
vivid beacon lights most be in eight; the |
coast-line, is white with snow, and the
breakers show their glistening teeth in
the broken etar-light; tho reefy beach is
dead ahead. Yet the oaptain of .the
vessel calmly goes to sleep, and his sub?
ordinates stolidly keep the vessel crash
iug on to certain destruction. This is
not only the great calamity?it is the1
great crime of the century.
Looking at this awfol waste of human
life, ovary generous impulse must flamo
out'with indignation. 86 little ordinary
care might nave stayed the stroko of
death. Snob a fair use of common
watchfulness, might have brought the I
ship safely to port, with ail her precious
freight of human life. But, for waut of j
common precautions, the costly ship lies
a wreck, and almost 600 people are atrin
gled in the wild soa. We cannot say !
what; ?>w oolor may be given to faats al?
ready known, when other testimony
shall be heard before the court of In?
quiry. But the evideuoe of the oaptain,
taken with the existing kuowlodgo. con?
cerning the coast, conclusively estab?
lishes who is responsible for the great
disaster. The parsimony, recklessness
and incompetence of owners, agents and
officers of the Atlantio wrought all this
woe. The oaptaio, deserting hie post at
the critical moment, should be punished
as the immediately responsible figure in
this great Bum of crime.
\New York Tribune.
O'JBhikn'h Commutation.?A flagrant
case of commutation by tho President is.
that of Charles O'Brien, convicted of the
murder of Samuel A. .Canningham, in
the District of Oolumbia. The murder
was one of the most flagitious on record.
The murderer conceiving adulterous de?
signs upon the wife of his victim, delib?
erately insulted her, of whioh she in?
formed her husband, who, seeking an
explanation from O'Brien, was instantly
felled to the earth by his offioial baton,
but without fatal injury. For this
O'Brien was destituted of hin office, and
ordered home by his superior officer.
Instead of obeying orders, he procured
a pistol, sought Cunningham again, and
without further provocation, shot him
dead. It is difficult to conceive of a
more flagrant oase of unmitigated mur?
der. Having put npou Cunningham an
atrooious affront, which, to many minds,
would have justified his instant killing,
he follows it diligently up by delibe?
rately killing tho man ho so wronged.

SALE OF LOTS
IN
POUT ROYAL!
ON
?prii 24 and 2&9
1873.
AT the above time, a FIRST AUCTION
BALE of lots in the oity of Port Boyal, 8.
O., wilt-take plsce.
Port Royal u the terminus of the Fort
Royal Railroad, which conneote at Augusta
with the Georgia Railroad and the whole sys?
tem of Southern and Western roads. It la
j tbe only deep water harbor on the Atlantic
eoast South of Norfolk. A line of steamships'
and sailing packets have been arranged for,
jsnd it is oertain that the whole through baai- ?
nessof tho Port Royal and Georgia Railroad
betwoon the Soathern and Northern ports
will pass through Port Royal on its way to
Europe and the Northern ports.
Large warehouses for the storage of fertil?
izers, cotton and other freights. are now
under contract at Port Boyal. Near it en
Port Royal Island, will be located the works
I of the Marine and River Phosphato Mining
Company, and a large manufactory of acids
and fertilizers will be in operation, before the
oloso of the year. These, with the machine,
shops of tho road, will employ large numbers '
of ,mon, and attract a thriving, energotio
population to this favored point.
Tho terms of payment for lota will be mad*
easv to artisans and others wishing to build.
Of the harbor, Oapt. BonteUe, U. B. Coast
Survey,says:
"It is a first class pott; by that, I mean one
into which any vsssol jet built can enter."
Tho New York Evening Post Bays:
"The last rail on tbe Port lloyal Railroad
was laid on March 1. Thin gives what the
South has never yet bad?a doop water bar- '
bor on the Atlantic coast."
?'As if nature intended to leave nothing
wanting to renew the fertility of the soil in
tbe South, it is iu tho immediato vicinity of
Port Royal that inexhaustible beds of bone
phosphato have been recently discovered."
[Ioid.
"Tho only good port on the South Atlantio,
South of Norfolk, is Port Royal, and I am per?
suaded that in a short time that will be tbe
real out let of tbo eentral Wost on the Houth
Atlantio. Of course, this involves the centre?
ing ot largo capital tbore, and a steamship
line. Hut the^o will come, if it bo true that
it ii< tho beat port on the South Atlantio, and
that direct railroads go there from the cen?
tral We?t."? E. J). Mansfield.
"The "Cincinnati Southern" will do more
to accomplish the ontlot ot a Southern port
than all other things can. From Chatta?
nooga to Port Royal via Augusta is about 250
miles. It is about the same distance on a
direct line from Chattanooga to Cincinnati;
ho that allowing for curves, an almost direot
line road tress Cincinnati to Per? B?sel may
bo made at from 560 to ?00 miles. This will
not only aavo 200 mtlns on tbe preaont route,
but will bo a dired through line, prepared to
do its part iu tranebrnng the food of the
Wost to the markets of the world."
