Long Branch, N. J., Jan. 12 —Full par ticulare have been obtaiosd of the wreck of the bark Elraira, which came ashore on thil beach on Tuesday night during tho terrible storm. The; place where the ill-fatod Vessel came ashore was a mile north of Life-saving station No. 31, and abdut five miles south of the w»ll known shooting' reeort of Harvey Cedars. The spot is imlatarl, Barnegat Bay separating it from uie mainland, and tM nearest' place being West Cr»ek village. Ordinarily thp beach presents the aspect of a broad, interminable avenue of sand, with tho ocean on one side and a law line of huimpQcbs and mounds crowned with coarse 'grass—back of which Is Barnegat Bay—on the other. Upon Tuesday night tho broad beach was fkxftled by a furious sea. The life saving keeper, George W. Brrague, and his crew could with difficulty find a placo upon which to plant the mortar for an attempt to reach the vessel by means of the shot line aiid whip. The ship struck at about 7 o'clock, but it was 8 o'clock before the life saving crew discovered her, when shn was bout SOU yards distant from the beach at low tide. It wAs evident that no shot line could possibly reach her at such a distance in the teeth of the hurricane that prevailed. If it had, it would have baen useless at that time, her decks being completely swept by the seas and her crew being up in' tho fore rigging for safety. No one was in a position to haul upon a liue from tho shore. of the Celtic. \WashinAton, Jan. 12.—Senator Anthony has said nothing as to his intentions In regard to the presidency of the serfite, and there is a strong feeling that lie ought not to accept it, as any incapacity would leave the seuate in a predicament for which the constitution Hi as made no provision. He has, however, decided upon some plan, as his physician said in response to an inquiry as to whether the doctors had forbidden him to accept the presidency or not. Senator bherman, in his cold and businesi like way, is working fo£" the presidency of the senate, and it is thought hastthe inside track against Ingalls. The Ingalls democrats intended to hold a caucus, but Senator Pendleton, chairman, not having returned, it, was postponed until his arrival, when a call will be immediately issued.

No doubt remains that Meinecke induced the unfortunate girl to leave New York with all that shu possessed on the pretence of marrying het, but with the apparent ddijbjrate purpose of murdering a ad robbing ■*. TO# grit clue to the murderer was neouW of H. 8.

Anson 0 Mcpook, the M* secretary of the senate, ts distracted By appeals of senators for appointments. In his ofBoe there are about twency-fo-ir places that can be filled, and of these eight are at present occupied byrepiiblicaus and Bfteon by democrats. When the democrats came into power in the senate a f*w years ago they made fewer changes among the old employes than would naturally hare boon sxpected, and they now coutend -that they should receive equally fair treatment from the republicans. Many years ago there was a rule of the senate which gars the rice president advisory power ti the talsetton of subordinate officers of the wnate, and it is understood that Mr. Edmonds will be ootwulted by Mr. McGook in any changes that he may make. ., ft is reported that Senator Mahone is pushing his son, Butler Mahone, who is now the clerk of the senate committee on public buildings and grounds, for a position iu the -secretary's office. Young Mr. Mahone reoelves C8 a day for bis services as clerk of hi* father's committee while congress is in setoioii, but a clerkship in the secretary's office will give him an aunual salary of about $2,300 a year. Why Senator Mahone should ask of the secretary an appointment of this character for his son, in view of the fnct that the young man is already provided for at public expense the greater part of each is a mystery to certain friends of the Virginia senator who have relied upon his •promises to help them. Falmouth, Jan. 12.—The four passengers, Pearson, Firth, Mehans and. McCled, who were taken off the White Star steamer T-nllinCrin1itnJ-48.55 E. longitude 87.13 W., by the steamer Argosy from New York bound to London were safely landed here. After the accident to the propeller shaft the Celtic drifted to the south for several days before Capt. Gleadell could quits decide whether he could take upon himself the responsibility of venturing across the Atlantic under sail. The matter was fully explained to the passengers, who cordially approved of the captain's cautionary movements. Finally it was decided to proceed under canvas. When the German steamer Gellert was#iglited and came within signaling distance shs offered to take off. the passengers, as she was unable to take the disabled vessel in tow. The offer, however, was declined, and the "Gellert" proceeded on her way. Next day a heavy weslerty gale arose, which drove the Celtic 160 miles in the twenty-four hours. She sailed well, and had it not been for the impediment of the useless propellar she would heve made a greater distance. On one day all the sails v.ero blown away, and it was only after considerable labor on the part of the officers and seamen that a number of old sails were lxDnt, which carried her along at a fair rate. The ladies, during the many mishaps, behaved admirably, and seemed fearless, evidently having every confidence in Captain Gleadell, and the certainty of ultimately reaching laud. The captain was desirous of only receiving assistance from some passing steamer of his own line, the White Btar, as there was no danger, and the expense pf towage by vessels of another oompkny tot such a distance would be enormous. An Italian wast bound steamer, the Independencia, offered a tow which, however, was also declined. Oh Jan. 4 the Argosy hove in sight and the first officer coming on board the Celtic, explained to the passengers, who by this time were getting tired of the monotony, that as bis was a freight steamer be had only room for four people. The passengers then decided to draw lots, tw o of the lucky passengers after ward sold their places by auction. The Celtic is reported by the Argosy to be "all right" The Argosy after leaving the Celtic had heavy southwest winds. The passengers of the Celtic, who wore brought to Falmouth by the Argosy, also report that the passenger on the disabled steamer held a meeting at which indignation was expressed at Capt Qleadell's neglect to signal the Bothnia so as to obtain assi £ anoe. Capt Gleadell promised to accept the next offer of assistance which might be made. The passengors seemed to believe that the captain's course was influenced by a desire to save money for the line rather than by regard for the comfort of the passengers. Others, however, believe that Capt Gleadell wishes to add to his reputation for managing 'disabled vessels. Tbe passengers made up a purse of $275 for the purser and the boat's crew w£o boarded the Gellert with letters from the belated voyagers. Messrs. Firth and Maclea, two of those land#], paid $25 apiece for their jrtaoee on the Argosy. i treasures: A nickel plated bioycta, Which cost C88-50; an elegant rosewodd -B»u*D box, valued «t tea 1*. doable oil store wiCh attachments, for printing proes for which |85 was paid, and another of a smaller patturm, 115; six fonts of different type in a cabinet; a violin and is $27.60; » ohild's sleigh, ■D: a white a*r«r shu Otaak, red silk linS, '«*; a seaMuo hat, $9: two pairs of kid gloves, $4; a gold ■hirnbte and case, IS; a s*lt of clothes, made o order, D to Ua used m a bicycle suit demand greater .'titention tlian they usually receive.

A Youngster's Teeth Mr. Cullom in the senate gave a succinfit history of the use and progress of the Mormon church and declared that if the Mor* mons are allowed to carry out their designs unchecked they will ere long control five or six of the western states and territories. The act passed last session had proved practically inoperative. Polygamy instead of diminishing had increased. The leaders of the ciiurch were secretly pt work influencing both young people and oM to continue the practice polygamy. It would be a mercy to those misguided people to i.-iopt measures to relieve them from the domination of their priestly enslaves. It was worse than folly to tinker with this question while the Mormons had control of the territory. The only remedy for the deplorable state of affairs in Utah was to place the political power out o' the territory in the hands of a commiasioi appointed by the executive. liver watch, Jar, cup and oyster ladle, an elegant gold pen with a very clear pearl handle, a direr wateirohcfo t*, trnwii of nickel club •luke»t4..rW pair, a jo3»)D knife #4.50. two velocipedes tlltSO. and a tricycle $14, gold nwk chain and looket JW. a neck scarf $4, ajtk Cffr ny trVDf other goods, inotidlng enough toy bfoka to stock a unall stationery store.

The work of firing the mortar and life line was continued, thi.4 being much retarded by the wet flying sand, which covered the shot line. By 9 o'clock the gun for a fourth time was in readiness, and it is believed that it. reached tlu* vessel. In the meantime the mainmast had fallen. This showed that the vessel was beginning to bieak up, and soon the lights on board disappeared. Then the night became inkD black, as the fury of the gale increased, and nothing more could be done. Wheii daylight came all that remained ot the Elmira was the debris washed ashore. E\-ery one on board had perished. Besides the Qrow, th»Ehnira is believed to have carried some passengers, as two Women's dresses were washed ashore, The vessel, before "she brpke up, signaled that her crew consisted of fourteen all told. Mr. 'Brown followed with a prepared speeou on the same subject, in which he undertook to show the unconstitutionality of recent legislation in regard to Utah and the indefensibility of "the proposed measure. While he had no justification for the vicious practices in Utah, he would, when the proper occasion arises, urge the propriety of a general law to exterminate such practices in all sections of the country myter whatsoever name they are known. Senator Riddleberger is decidedly opposed to the appointment of young Mahone, and if the senior senator from Virginia could be pursuaded to wave the claims of his famil}" (Jen. McCook wonld immediately appoint to D clerkship any gentleman upon whom both senators could unite. *AKlH6 POWDER Ill concluding a speech of on hour and a halfs duration, Mr. Brown recommended tho Christian churches, who now spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to convort 500,000,000 of people in the east wh® practice polygamy, to malCe the effort to couvort the Mormons, who only number about 100,000. Another remedy he  was that the distinguished senator from Vermont {Mr. EC1 m undo) should head a colony of 160,000 Now England people to settle in Utah. The refined, delicate sentiment* of those New Englauders would soon eradicate the vicious polygamous practice* of the Mormons. \ It is reported here that Mr. Hewitt, after ha introduced the O'Donnell resolution, called at once on the British Minister and informed him that the resolution didn't mean anything and would amount to • nothing, and in other terms believed it, and that Minister West telegraphed the interview with Mr. Hewitt at once to the London homo office, thus quieting any feeling that might halve arisen in Eugland. {Senator Van Wyclc .8 much in earnest in exposing the expenditures in the department of justice, and has said openly to several persons that Col. Bliss received over eighty thousand in the star route cases. 5 Much adverts oriticism is caused by the act that certain senators have provided places in the department and in the senate for members of their families. Among those senators who have found positions for their relatives at the capitol are Senator Harris, of Tennessee, who has one son employed as a "fclsrk in the secretary's office, at an annual Salary of $9,230, and another as clerk to bis committee on epidemic diseases, at a per fliem salary of $6, making (9,200 as the annual government iuoome of the Harris family.
