The reported massacre was a stupid and cruel sensational experiment of an opposition news company, that has yet to learn that spurious news is apt to return to plague the inventor.

NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDA City Improvements—A Plan for tho Future of the Metropolis. The growth of great cities is the most striking feature in the progress of civilization, and their proper government involves ques- tions in political economy which may weil challenze the highest order of intellect and patriotism, Located by mere chance, a8 most of the large cities of the world have been, their gradual developm ont has been the result, of causes unforeseen, and therefore unprovided for by any prearrang»d plan or general sys- tem of improvements; and as an increase of population brings @ constantly increased de- mand for facilities of traffic and intercourse there follows a constant shifting of the centres of trade, and whole sections which at one time were the most. crowded marts are deserted for localities deemed mors favorable for busi- ness, So marked had become this condition of things in Paris that it was deemed neces- sary to reconstruct the entire city, and within the last few years, under the supervision of the energetic Haussmann, the Paris of yester- day has been substituted by a magnificent city, whose broad and stately avenues, pierc- ing through the ancient abodes of vice and crime, obliterating the narrow and dingy thoroughfares where the barricades of the revolutionisis were so easily erected, replacing the dens of the gamin and sans culotte with splendid edifices, have made Paris the finest and most attractive city of the world. Although New York numbers scarcely as many decades as Paris does centuries a similar condition of affairs exists here, owing to the wonderful and rapid growth of the city. While in the central portion of the island, having for its immediate focus our beautiful Park, clothed in all its emerald beauty, ample provision has been made for the future in the wide boule- vards and avenues and streets which before many years will be lined with the palatial residences of our wealthy citizens, no well digested plan has been prepared for renovat- ing the older city, at the lower end of the island, or providing for the no less important wants of the upper section contiguous to the Harlem river. The old city, lying below Fourteenth street, will soon be exclusively devoted to the whole- sale trade, leaving for the retail business upper Broadway and the avenues. In the up- ward movement of the wholesale warehouses there has been an enormous depreciation in the value of property in many of the down town streets. If by a proper system of im- provement this value can be restored, and in- ducements thus be offered to property owners to improve their property by the erection of suitable buildings, a great change will be ef- fected, especially in Washington, Greenwich and West streets, which now present a most wretched and dilapidated appearance. To ac- complish this three things are necessary to be done—the removal of Washington Market, the removal of the emigrant depot from Castle Garden and the extension of the west side railways to the Battery. Washington Market, inside and outside, and in all its surroundings, is a burning disgrace and an offence against common decency that ought not to be tolerated in a civilized community for twenty-four hours. The human beings that crawl around in its slime seem more like vermin in a putrid carcass than rational creatures, It is as utterly impossible for decent food to come out ofesuch place as for men of self-respect to do business in it. It is literally a cancer on the whole of that sido of the city. The ground which is occupied by the egg and poultry peddling Jerseymen should be replaced by fine stone wharves and piers, and the Euro- pean steamship lines which they have driven to the Jersey shore should be recalled to fitting accommodations at our own wharves. It seems ridiculous, but it is true, that we have given up our shipping accommodations to poultry dealers from New Jersey, and sent over there three great lines of European steamships—the Cunard, Hamburg and Bremen lines. The present location of the emigrant depot at Castle Garden has not only destroyed the use of the Battery, but it has converted the lower part of Greenwich and Washington streets into emigrant boarding houses. What the cellars are used for is more questionable. The Island, where every facility can be afforded for the necessary distribution of emigrants and their baggage directly to the railway depots by water. An arrangement could cer- tainly be made with the general government for the use of that island in time of peace for such a purpose. In fact, the whole matter of immigration belongs more properly to the general government; at any rate some change in the location of the depot should be made at once. When this is done and the Battery devoted to its legitimate uses as a people’s park the whole aspect of that part of the city will change; and a large hotel erected on State street, facing the Battery, would, we should think, be more attractive to our country friends than the caravansaries in Cortlandt street and elsewhere down town, more especially if the west side street railways run their cars to the Battery. This last is the great want of that part of the city—facilities for business men to get up town. With regard to the upper end of the island there can be no question that the legitimate and ultimate locality of the grain and lumber trade of the city is the line of the Harlem river. There should be a wide and deep canal constructed from the North river to the East river. All of the low marsh land adjoining the Harlem river should be converted into large basins, where canal boats can transfer, by means of elevators, their cargoes of grain directly into ships for the foreign market. These basins would have material influence as tidal reservoirs in preserving the status of the harbor. Along our water front we have filled in more than a thousand acres, and destroyed to that extent the tidal capacity of the harbor, Some effort should be made to restore this equilib- rium, and thus avoid the manifest injury which would otherwise result, These are some of the questions presented to those who have assumed the control of our civic affairs, The future of this great and growing city is in their hands. With all its natural advantages, improved by art; with our splendid Park, with stone piers, with the old city renovated and reconstructed, with canal basins and shipping accommodations at struggle over, and leaves them struggling still, because it is for the poet or the philo- sophic historian to present to us his impres- sions of reality, to tell the great story and ment of her case against her vilifiers; and aristocracy shall be grateful for the exposure of the revolution and the revolution rejoice in his delineation of the crumbling and weakness of aristocracy. the delineation of any great character or and social life of nations; and, in this view of JUNE 9, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET, the northern end, New York will be the finest | Red Clone» Plain Talk in Wasbington. hae oe Case of General Babcock= commervial city in the world in less than half | The oratory of Logan has evidently left 4 Defeat of Garfeld’s Currency Bill. a century. germ in the bosom of the red man which, at The Senate was the scene of arather unusual | this day, fructifies, The spirit of Red Jacket piece of business yesterday.

Indians, who are the aggressors. It may be 4 CREPE necessary at times of absolute warfare to use harsh measures with the savages ; but it should be considered whether the bad conduct of our own agents has not provoked the difficulty in nine cases out of ten. We believe that the cause can be traced to this origin. The fact is that we want a thorough reform in the management of ovr Indian Department. We must be honest with the savage if we attempt to control him by peaceful means. We must not be driven by the misconduct and avarice of our own employ¢s to the hateful necessity of cruelty and extermination. The Secretary of the Interior must have learned something about the question from the plain, botd words of the chieftain Red Cloud. He must be convinced that palaver has very little effect upon the Indian character. He must have learned, too, that faithlessness on our part in the matter of treaties, and gross swindling of the Indians by our agents and their tools—the contractors—are at the bottom of all this Indian trouble. “Lothairy=A Masterpiece of and Philosophy. Aristotle gave the first place among works of imagination to tragedy, but that was in an ge when the stage dealt with the great soc religious and political problems which agi the lives of nations. He did not prefer the drama for its form, but for its spirit, for the consequence and dignity of its themes, for its intimate relation with the higher intellectual life of the people whom it instructed in the growth of such ideas as seemed great in the history of their race, But since tragedy was separated from that original purpose it has gone downward in the scale. In this ago people will not consent to be harrowed by woes with which they have no personal or family sympathy and no deeper interest than that of casual spectators, TIntellectually we are all Sybarites, and the stage is a sham. But the relation to popular life that anciently vivified tragedy has not departed from litera- ture altogether ; it has only changed its place, and it has changed it in accordance with the conditions of our time. This ehange has car- ried it into the novel. In-an age of wide- spread and teeming populations the printing press is to the masses what the stage was to the far smaller communities of antiquity ; and thus when the poet appears he finds the agencies ready adapted to enable him to get a grander hearing than any of which antiquity could conceive. The use that may thus be made of the familiar form of fiction in vogue among the peo- ple is illustrated in ‘‘Lothair.” Here we seo @ great thinker, who can write a novel without dwindling to the level of the novel writers in purpose or form, because he has a higher, grander view of bis vocation; and who can treat the loftiest themes of philosophy and statecraft in the easy, graceful, acceptable style that will not only carry them, but make them current and familiar, in places where the dry disquisitions of the phi- losopher cannot ‘enter and the formal utterances of the statesman are unknown. In ‘Lothair” Mr. Disraeli personifies all the elements and forces of European society, not only as they are but as they have been for ages. In his pages we see the contest that has rended every people of the Continent still in progress, These are the natural human longing for and tendency towards progress and improvement, and its parasites, the professional organizers of revolutions, There are also the natural religious sentiment and the great in- stitution, the Church, that thrives and lives upon it, also too much as a parasite ; and there is society drawn and repelled from one to another, as each appears attractive or repul- sive to its always colored and prejudicial vision. All are introduced in their ancient struggle. They struggle through the drama, and the drama settles no point of all that they Imagination Third Field Day of the Amorican Jockey Club, With every appearance, when these lines were written, of more enchanting weather than has even yet been vouchsafed to us this season to encourage the lovers of equestrian sport, their attention will be again directed to Jerome Park this morning for the third time in the merry round of the week. All who have taken note of-the superb racing already accomplished on this now famous track and have read the list of unrivalled horses that yet await their turn of triumph will be eager to avail themselves of the renewed opportu- nity to mingle the healthful relaxation of a drive through some of the heavenliest land- scapes in the world, with the keen excitement of witnessing an intense ‘struggle between several of the fleetest and most beautiful animals that have ever been reared. Without a doubt the “Lady Gay Spankers” of the metropolis, attended by their gallant cavaliers, will honor the oecasion even more dashingly than on the previous days, so fully recorded and so heartily enjoyed. A host of distin- guished strangers from other parts of the Union and several fashionable arrivals of but twenty-four hours’ date in the Empire City will augment the brilliant throng that always answers the bugle call of the Jockey Club. The newest wonders of summer attire, too, are only just ready for their full display, and whole flocks of birds of elegant plumage wing- ing their flight from the South and West to the Northern spas have been tempted to alight for a few hours to disport in the sunshine of Jerome Park. We anticipate, then, a still more gladsome festival than ever for this third field day at the American Epsom. None who are both merry and wise will miss its golden hours. not to take sides, since he cannot dive into the secrets of fate to say who is right or who wrong. He can tell us that he does not always know who is the hero and who the vil- lain and riddle so wisely that the parsons shall thank him for a discourse against Rome, while Rome might as well thank him for the state- ‘The Spanish Throne Question. The Throne question is now formally before the Spanish Cortes. Rivero has made a strong speech against monarchy, and his speech has been applauded to the echo. It is no longer to be doubted that the Bourbons are without sympathy in the present Spanish Assembly. The door is closed against all the past. What does Spain mean to do? Is there any purpose? Why can’t Prim make up his mind? Serrano would do very well for a First Consul or a President of the Spanish republic. If Serrano does not suit, Prim surely is good. All that Spain wants is a little pluck on the part of her best men, It is pluck that is wanting. The Bourbons are condemned, Espartero refuses the crown. Serrano does not want it. Why should not Prime Minister Prim submit to the Spanish people a plebiscite, and make an end of all this vexatious uncertainty? The Spanish people are ready for anything that shows apirit; but the Spanish people look out in vain for a man to lead them. How the debate which is now begun shall end it is difficult to say. We know of no candidate, If Spanish enterprise gives Madrid the benefit of New York thought Prim has a chance—that is, if he knows how to use it. Spain wants a new royal family. Surely there is one family in Spain that can become to Spain what the Bonapartes have become to France. Ofcourse it is our conviction that Spain will find con- tentment only in a republic, under some respectable temporary President. Spain, however, is so slow that we wonder why she managed to make a revolution. The novel is certainly the great form of the age for the teaching of any grand lesson or series of characters in the religious, political it, how pitiful by comparison with such a grand work of imagination as ‘‘Lothair” are the novels of men like Bulwer and Dickens. Bulwer has no more exalted vocation than to picture the snobs of British society, evidently always supposing them to be gentlemen; and Dickens plods on forever, doing the same thing for creatures that are either brutes or clowns, according to the humor of the moment, becom- ing, under the impulse of fury, common cut- throats, or melting in the warmth of coarse sensuality to all the varied comic phases pe- culiar to the greasiest vulgarity. But what are all the elegant fops who dawdle up and down the pages of Bulwer, or all the kitchen maids and thieves of Dickens taken together, with all their vanities, vices, passions and ap- petites, that men should care for them or have patience over such pitiful pictures? The con- trast of ‘‘Lothair,” a masterpiece of imagina- tive working in the great themes that are vital in every society, will set before the world at a proper value the books of authors without theme or purpose, who draw marionnettes rather than men. New Irezas 1X Orp Virainny.—The times change and the men change with them, What would the men of Virginia, who grew to great- ness on her rich tobacco crops in the old days, say to the sight of the people of the old State kuckstering for the Northern market on straw- berries and green peas? They would have thought it a small business and beneath the Virginia dignity, Strange are the ideas of dignity, Why is it more dignified to cater for one appetite than for another— why nobler to fill the old clay pipe than the dainty china dishes that set off the rare piece of color combined of strawberries and cream? Now this answer of the supposed old Virginia gentlemen would only show once more what a set of old fools made up their generation ; for after all their dignity was ac- cording to their account at the bankers’, and. aman with a hundred acres in strawberries and green peas will make more money than the old farmers did with five hundred acres in tobacco. A Morar ror tHE RovcHs.—In view of the history of our police and the many cases of arrogant insolence on their part that have been reported, it is not impossible that just such a@ case as the Fourth ward homicide might occur to honest, reputable citizens, and, therefore, itis not fair to condemn men at once because they are in collision with the police. But the men of this Fourth ward fight are known for ruffians; and because men of their stamp kill policemen whenever they geta chance, therefore at any hostile demonstration a policeman is justified in being beforehand with them. That is his only hope. Every assumption is against the roughs, and that isa penalty they pay for their notorious lives. This is the judgment of society, and the verdict of the coroner’s jury, if it be the same way, will not strengthen it; or if it be the other way will not invalidate it; for a coroner is most palpably the creature of the vile elements, and his implication of Burke would be entitled to no more respect than his acquittal of a murderer in the Jackson case. press wtranisikiel heathy A New Rozz ror Crry Raitroap Cars.— “Passengers are requested not to get on or off the car while it is in motion.” This caution hangs up in nearly all of our street eailroad cars. As most of the accidents are caused by cars starting before the passengers have time to leave the platform, it would be good policy if the city companies would add the follow- ing:—‘Drivers and conductors are directed not to start the cars while pasaengera are get- ting on or off,” Tue Erte anp Centra RAILtRoap War.— We presume the public will have to suffer the inconveniences which will grow out of the Vanderbilt and Fisk trouble until next January, when the Legislature will probably make short work in settling the difficulties, as it did once before when Commodore Vander- bilt refused to connect the Hudson River road with the Central at East Albany. Does the Commodore recollect that memorable occasion, and the sudden and graceless manner in which he came down? Dow.ine’s Goop Memory.—It is an excel- lent thing to have a good memory, especially for a magistrate; for it often simplifies tough cases, Thus when a respectable appearing person was brought before Dowling the other day, on & charge quite inconsistent with respectability, it seemed there might be some difficulty to prove guilt; but how the story was simplified at once when Dowling recog- nized that my gentleman was ‘“‘Whiskey Jim!” That name would settle any case. Dowling keeps every rogue’s record in mind, and his memory is a terror to evil-doers. ————— Tat Tae Presipent Openine His Susmer Cam- PaiaN.—The President and his family will leave Washington to-day op 6 holiday ex- cursion with Senator Caméron of 9 few days émong the mountains and trout brooks of Pennsylvania, Some of the politicians of “the Old Keystone” are puzzled what to make of this influence of General Cameron ever General Grant; but the explanation is very simple, General Cameron is a genial and hos- pitable mat, He invited General Grant and family on this little excursion, and Genoral Grant, satisfied that he and his farsily would enjoy the trip, accepted the invitation. It is a very simple affair, apd greditafle to all con- cerned. . Axotumr Front PratrorM Murper.—The last case of killing by the horse cars was that of alittle boy, eight years old, whose mother, with two other children, could not help him, and he, in jumping from the front platform, was dragged under the wheel.

Bowery THRATRE.—Last night the successful pugilist, Mr. James Mace, had a beuefit at this house. . The evening's entertainment commenced with the popular drama of “Lost in London,” in which Oliver D.
