The course was never in.better condition than at present, and from early dawn until nine or ten o’clock each morning the swarms of horses are gal- loping in platoons, preparing for war. The “early birds” who have the spirit to desert their beds for a morning ride to the Park are amply rewarded by the capital sport furnished by the numerous trials which they witness, and their improved appetites are pro- perly responded to by the excellent steward of the club restaurant. x The programme for the mecting 1s varied and very attractive, embracing dashes, races of heats, hurdle races and the grand steeplechase. The first steeple- chase over the grounds at Jerome Park (run last fall) created an excitement which will long be re- membered, So thoroughly were the people enthused by the magnificent contest that beaus and belles joined in the most boisterous applause, and even the losers seemed happy in the thought that their untor- tunate favorites were almost winners, Many lingered upon the grounds until a late hour, prolonging their pleasures by recount- ing the stirring events of the day. A quaint Broad street operator, who had with much dimMeulty prevailed upon his lady to accompany nim to the course, declared the next morning that he could not get her away from the club house “until after the lights were put out.” Should the weather prove favorable the attend- @nce at the approaching meeting will be immensely numerous. To avoid unpleasant delay at the en- trances we would advise the purchase of tickets and badges {n the city. They can be obtained at the office of the club, No. 920 Broadway.

He immediately re- plied, ‘It is a question whether they were American citizens.” I suggested that they were certainly not Englishmen, otherwise the Spaniards would have suffered fur it. “I think,” sald the senator, “we are as quick to punish an outrage upon our citizens as any other government, but you see we must have a clear case to go on before we resort to extreme measures.” “But,” raid I, “Mr. Fish admits, in his offctal correspondence on the subject, that these men were American citizens, and all the reparation he de- mands #6 a pecuniary contribution from the Spanish government for their families." “Well, that may he,” satd the Senator; “but the circumstances surrounding their case were peculiar, They were found in suspicious company, and we could not make the same kind of a demand upon the ‘Spanish government as it they had been residing in uba in the pursuit of a peaceable business.” T asked the Senator what he thought of the treat- ment of Consul Phillips by the Spaniaras, “What I hear of Phillips,’ saidjfhe, “leads me to think that he acted imprudently, Itis charged that he handled General Jordan’s mail and sent it off to” the United States. Now, we must, in order to reach the proper view of all these matters, apply them to onrselyes. Suppose, during our rebellion, some Englishman acting as consul of Great Britain had undertaken to carry the mail to Jeff Davis or General Lee, what do you suppose Mr, Stanton would have done had he discovered the fact? I think he would havejcleared him out of the country, or very likely he would have arrested him and placed him in the old Capitol,”” I suggested that Great Britain, In that case, might have made a demand for his release, as she did in the case of Slidell and Mason. Recurring to the ex- pected report of General Banks, and the probable action of the House thereon, [ asked the Senator what he supposed the Senate would do. “The House,” he replied, “might pass such a resolution as you indicate—belligerent rights— with the expectation that the Senate would stop it. Very frequently the House does such things, I cannot say what the Senate would do, but I don't bejieve it would do anything hastily. In the Senate there is a feeling that we are not now in a condition to go into a war. best that could have been pursued,’’ From this it is evident that Mr. Sumner wit!l oppose any resolution that is proposed having for its object the recognition of the Cubans, or any measure that might tend to involve us in trouble with Spain, Tho Indian Delegations—sSpotied Tail Wearies of White Man‘s Civilization. Red Clouc and his party are expected to reach Washington by Wednesday, and will be assigned quarters at the same hotel with Spotted Tall and his companions. The last named are beginning to be rather weary of their stay in civilized regions, and express a desire to get through with their busi- nes3 as s00n as possible, so’as to leave for their homes, though they would be glad to visit New York and St. Louis on the way. They are still doubtful about Red Cloud coming, and Spotted Tail does not express any anxiety to meet him, as the former has disregarded many talks from him in which Red Cloud was advised to preserve peaceable relations with the white men’s govern- ment. The Indians have not yet had an interview ith the President. That will take place when Red Cloud arrives,,80 that a talk will be had with all of them together, To-morrow it is proposed to take Spotted ‘Vailand his associates on a trip to Mount Vernon. Shrewd Dodge of a Darky Policeman. One night last March ex-Mayor Berrett, of this city, was aroused between midnight and morning by one of Mayor Bowen's colored police and in- formed that burglars were in his house. The ex- Mayor soon siruck a light and admitted the sable guardian of the interests of the slumbering popula- tion, and the two made a thorough search of the dwelling without discovering any thief. A large plated goblet, however, was missing, which to-day was found in the trunk of the watchful ;darky, upon whom suspicions recentiy existed of certain pilfer- ings at the police station, Mr. Berrett was sent for this afternoon and idéntified the goblet, Which the policeman had stolen before he troubled himself to warn the owner of the depredation on his premises.

Speecnes were made by commissioners from the Indian country and others, The item was finally sotpeed as reported and the amendment laid on the table. ‘The report of the Joint Committee on Foreign Missions was taken from the docket and considered, The resolutions were all adopted without argument. A motion to transfer the case of the Chinese, Indians and others in this country from the Board of Foreign Missions to the Board of Home Misstons was carried, The special order of the day, the reception of the report of the Joint Commitice on Home Missions, was postponed until the afternoon on account of the absence of the chairman of the committee. The afternoon session commenced with a debate by Elders William Rarkin and James Pollock, and reason; or he unhesitatingly believes. Should he disbelieve or dissent he ts merely assenting to the contradictory of the thesis—viz., that there i no Revelation, Thus we have all belief resolved into adsent, which the author divides Into notional and real. That assent which is notional is a belief in propositions Which express abstractions, and which Dr. Newman considers under five heads, which he calls Profession, Credence, Optuion, Presumption and Specuiation. The argument here ts very able and logical—much abler, in fact, and more satisfactory, paradoxical as it may seem, than his theories of aud arguments on real assent, which follow tn order, {ir notional assent, writes the author, the mind con- templates 118 own creations instead of things; m real itis directed towards things represented by impressions which they have left on the imagina- tion.

It tells all we wish to know about the show world, “from puppet shows to grand operas, from mountebanks to menageries, from learned pigs to lecturers, from burlesque blondes to actors and actresses.” Olive Logan knows well the world she describes, In 1t she has truly lived, and moved, and had her betlng. ‘The book, in consequence, is full of life pictures, It is a veritable cyclopwdia, and may be consulted with some profit ou all subjects that re- late to plays and playgoers. Open it where you may, you find something readable, interesting, mstruce tive. It is a book which thousands of thousands will buy, and Which ought to put Into the pocket of its author many thousands of dollars. In this work Miss Logan has.made a bigger lit than she ever made upon the stage. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. The Expiring Throes of the Old Common Council—The Board of Aldermen in a Fog. Pursuant to call the Board of Aldermen assem- bled yesterday afternoon with the President, Alder- man Coman, in the chair. The members were all present except the one who cannot attend—Alder- man Florence Scannell, After the routine part ofthe business had been disposed of, several resoln- tions were adopted relative to the appointment of Commissioners of Deeds, A remonstrance was re ceived from the property owners on Forty-fourth street against paving that street with wooden pave- ment, and was referred to the Commissioners on Strect Pavement. The President then took a bundle of papers up from his desk and looked over the titles and said there were several resolutions among them which could not be passed by the Common Coun- cil. These were for donations as foilow:—$10,000 for the New York Hospital for Nervous Diseases, $2,184 to the Church of the Annunciation and $765 to the Church oftne Epiphany. Then there was $350 for Mr. McGinnis’ horse, and $350 more for Mr. Murphy's horse. There were also resolutions providing for the paving of Thirty-fourth street from the Ninth to the Eleventh avenue, ‘twenty-irst strect, from Kighth to the Eleventh avenue and Warren street from Broadway to West street with wooden pave- Among the works recentiy published, “Askaros Kassis, the Copt” (Philadelphia: J. B, Lippincott & Co.), is one of the most interesting we have read. Itis written by Edwiu De Leon, late United States Consul for Egypt, and a@ gentleman well known in literary circles, The scene of the story is of course laid to Egypt, and the plot is skilful and exciting. Mr. De Leon's Knowledge of Hastern manners and customs naturally enabled him to draw his charac- ters with fidelity. We commend the book to the public, It 1s justsuch a one as will while away the Ume pleasantly these present sultry and coming hot days. Hardly so good as we might have expected from the author of ‘Jokn Halifax, Gentleman,” but still pleas- antand readable, is “A Brave Lady.” (New York: Harper & Brothers.) It is a story of woman’s suffer- ings and woman’s fortitude through many weary ment. The resolutions were all referred to the ap- years; of misfortnnes, such as seldom occur tn real propriate committees, and will, im all like- } jife, bravely borne, and finally of death at an old Hhood, lay over until the new Board comes | age. The story is well written, but It is unnatural into power. General orders were then | and the characters are all so sombre that oue is op- taken up. Alderman Moore called up resolutions | pressed by a perusal of the book, roviding for the paving of Twelfth street, from Firth avenue to Seventh avenue; Thirteenth street, from Filth avenue to Jackson square, and Forty. sixth street, from Fourth avenue to Fifth avenue, with the Hamar wood pavement. ‘The question was started whether the Board was not prohibited from touching any street already paved. This seemed to worry the City Fathers. ‘Several of then did not know what todo, Alderman Milier asked to have the question divided. That was considered out of order, as the roll was being called. Several of the Peres asked what the question was, in the hope, evidently, that somebody might give them a hint as to how they should vote. They did not get it, and so eight of them voted against the resvlu- tions, and they were lost. On motion of Alderman Muiler the vote was reco! ered, Alderman MILLER moved to have a vote taken on the resolution in relation to Forty-sixth street, Alderman Moore did not understand this, Two or three others asked “ Why?” Alderman Moorg then moved to have the macter recommutted to the Committee on Street Pavements. Alderman MILLER hoped not, He hoped in vain, however, and the matter was recommitted, By tlus time all hands seemed to be a hitle out of the net and soa motion was made to adjourn untii ‘Thursday at two P.M. One or two of the gentiemen irom up town said, “Oh, no, We've got several gen- eral orders we want passed. You fellows got your orders through and you don’t give us no show.’? Their appeal was in vain as the vote deciled that the Board shouid adjourn.
