The ocean has added largely to its treasure during the past fun mouths, more Bhips Laving been lost than ever before within the same period. In 1871, according to Lloyd's list, there were more than 13,000 wreoks and casualties. Of these, 1,872 were,steamers, and the number of lives lost was 2,140. In 1872, 2,682 sailing ships, of which 1,810 wero British vessels, were' absolutely lost, in addition to ~244 steamers, of more than j 100 tons. Besides' this, a large number1 of ships were! missing?and a missing ship means a veaiel which has gone down at sea witb every aool on board. We are satisfied that "man's dominion etops at the shore of the ocean," and will bei content without further evidenoe on the subject. Several fires have occurred in the neighborhood of Charlotte, N.

It | is said that there was a considerable quantity of corn in the grist mill at the time, and some ootton in one of the gins. The loss will amount to about $4,000, part of whioh is covered by in? surance. 'The foreman iu the office of the Rochester Union is a lady."

Poweb fob One Man.? |>TLuo.aorldV Littery farnishee no parallel ; fqr the absolute power of one man and the ahiuct humiliation of a whole people as exhibited to-day in this, oountry. One man sitting in Washington is en? dowed with larger_powers than was ever any other in any oountry since the world t>egan. He holds the key to the indus? trial, commercial, agricultural, meohani oalfMjsukiog?iu short, all the interests of fthsraoontry that have any relations with rUorrey or currency. On his breath bang, in greater or lees degree, the wel? fare and prosperity of 40,000,000 of peo? ple. The power to mske money scarce or plentiful; to expand or oontract the currency of the oountry; to increase then value of the miserable rag that under? takes to represent a dollar in the pocket of the citizen, or dilute it tb a smaller measure still, rests all in his oaprioe. Speculation rides rampant on the chances of bis fickle will. Values rise and fall. Men are rich to day and poor to-morrow, as he may dictate. The oountry lies at his foot. Could the peo? ple sit down for one single thoughtful moment in front of the great shame of this situation, and consider the amazing possibilities of power in the hands of this man* with their own utter helpless* .nese before, him, there would surely be a revolution. No snob power over all the monetary interests of so many millions was ever in any age entrusted to a single individual. It ia not in the possibilities of human wisdom to administer such a trust wisely.1' No man who ever lived could administer it honeatly. There is not virtue enough in human nature to withstand all the innumerable subtleties of temptation that must assail the holder of such enormous power. The privilege of debasing the coin wbioh has some? times been oxeroistfi? by sovereigns and parliaments, was alwayB guarded with tbe greatest jealousy, and.the instances in wbK'h it bus been dona are reokoued land-marks of natioual folly and set np as tbe warnings of history. But here in this nineteenth century, in the midst of what we boast as the highest civiliza? tion, we olothe ono man, or rather allow him to olothe himself, with a power to debase the currenoy or appreciate it at bis own sweet will; and we hardly so much as put np a protest against it, while trade and commerce, and about everything except the actual drawing of our breath, are at his meroy. .Talk about the tyrannies and despotisms of the old world, of the suppression of free thought and-free speech, of the absolute control exercised by despots over the persons and liberties of their subjects I They are hardly to be compared with the tre? mendous power of the Finance Minister, who holds between bis thumb and finger tbe business interests of a whole conti? nent. It was urged ns an objection to tho old United States Bank, that it could make money cheap or dear at will, by con? traction or expansion of paper money, and this, it was said, gave it an immense politioal power that was dangerous in tbe extreme. If this power was danger? ous then, when the country was small, population Bparso, and business limited, what shall be said of tbe present condi? tion, when one man, instead of a corpo? ration, controls moro absolutely tbe vastly extended business interests of tbe oouutry, and commerce and trade depend entirely upon the flat of bis will? Com? pared with tho present Secretary of the Treasury and his power, the influenae of the old United States Bank was as that of a pnlina infant to a full-grown Her? cules. ' " '* " Is any demonstration needed'of tbo terrible dangers to wbioh wo are mo? mentarily exposed by this wild bestowal of authority? Witness the effect of this man's sotion during the Presidential can? vass, when, with no authority except what he himself assumed?and, for that matter, may at any time assume again? be dilated the currency by expansion to tbe extent of millions for politioal and partisan purposes, and by that means contributed largely to the perpetuation in power of the Administration of which he was part. Witness, too, the fluctua? tions in our money markets for weeks past, tbe uncertainty of all legitimate trade and commerce, and the consequent damage to the industrial and business interests of the country, with the increase of feverish and unhealthy speculation, all tending to degrade honest labor and destroy pablio confidence. The misobief of it is too plain to nood any demonstra? tion. There is no excuse for it. If our present currency is tho outgrowth of tbo war, it is not necessary to continue it or make it perpetual. Its originators bad no idea that it was anything more tbon a temporary expedient. But tbo present Administration seems to huve accepted it as a settled financial policy, and in? stead of ameliorating it, to have set itself to mako it worse, and possibly the meant of perpetuating ituelf iu power. The real way out of thu dilliculty, of course, is thro igb resumption. But while this oonditiou lasts, something should be done to impart on clement of certainty to tbo currency and take it out of tho power of ouo mau to iuflito or contract it at will. That power would bo bad enough and dangerous enough in the hands of a statesman; in tho hands of Mr. Richardson, it is pregnant with un? told misobief.?2?tw York Tribune.

Reatinq thb "WaiimwTND ?Enough* light has beou tbrown on the anteoedeat facts of the late mystorio?s muraler in Brooklyn to show that the question, who was she? is not asked irrelevantly. Tber? is no oooasion to add to the Borrows of the unhappy family of tho murdoaed man. But the daily newspaper would bo unfaithful to its office, if it should fail to point the moral of this mournful tale. Not every man, it ia true, who stoops to vile and criminal associations, is so <ud denly and fatally overtaken by the re? ward of his misdeeds. Not every man who sows the wind, so speedily reaps the whirlwind.* But the . lesson to be drawn from sack a Ufa a* tu*l which terminated in the Degraw street murder is, nevertheless, unmistakable. Here was a man who, though he kept a fair?; seeming and honorable exterior to the world, through the vile channel of sug? gestive advertisements, sought the means of establishing guilty connections with misguided women. He.fcad ?aintained an nn hallowed relation with ono Or two of these persons, and had b^oa involved to a degree which mast have made his life a burden. One.of. these women had been privately placed in the house where the man finally met his death. He had. it would appear, been perty to a crimi? nal act of abortion committed on this person; and be. had, when tir?d -of th? liaison, tried, with much difficulty and ahamefnl straggle, to shake her off. We have no heart to do more than allude to I the shameful scenes which mast have gone before that in which the unhappy {man's life went' oat pith violence and blood. Wd catch bnJvY'. occasional glimpses of on iH-rsgalated'Sfe, o! less paBsion, and of praotioes at which a thigh, pure manhood lookfe w'ith orimson indignation. At last, the orop of evil boru its legitimate, fruit. - The thought? less sower reaped the whirlwind. When an enraged,- jealous mistress in Hau Francisco publicly shot her para? mour, who was tardily repenting of bis faithlessness to his lawful wife, there was a great cry of horror,' that a man of learning, wealth, culture and high posi? tion should be so struok down. As if his whole life with the dreadful oreatnre who killed him bad not been a natural preparation for the bloody event which terminated it. We may never know just how and why the Brooklyn mnrder was committed. The deed may have had no human witnesses who will ever pnblish their dismal ?tory to the world. But out of that tragedy baa .come enoogh to warn the tempted and alarm the guilty. Purity and honor turn away from the sorrowful ending of a lifo of guilt and shame; bnt the lesson must be read: Can a man take fire iu his bosom and not be burned? [Nero York Tribune.
