Imperial Mission to Chinn—The Minister to Travel to Pekin by Way of Amorica— Personal Sketch of the Diplomat—To Study America Before Visiting Pekin—Russo-Ameri> can Interests in Asia. St, PETERSBURG, May 26, 1870. General Viangaily, Russian Minister to China, leaves here to-day en route for Pekitt by the way of the United Siates, where he intends to remaln & month or two, General Viangally, in his former career ag a mill- tary man, was one of the mort distinguished oMcers of the Russian army, aud was chosen to his present post at the especial desire of the Bmperor, who entertains toward him feelings of the most com- plete confidence and respect on account of his en- lightened spirit, as weil as tact and ability. The General has occupied his preseat post a number of years, and before returuing to Pekin wishes to be- come acgualuted with the United States, He bears with him ietters to some of your most distinguished ofictals, milliary and ‘civil, from Minister Curtin, and also to a number of prominent private citizens, which will insure him that hespitality which the American people are so ready to show a worthy guest. The Russian Minister in Pekin was an Intimate friend of our distinguished and lamented country- man, Mr. Eurlingame, whom he visited almost every day during the short time that he lived in St. Petersburg. In talking of General Vlangally, Mr. Burlingame told me that from the first moment of their acquaintance he had found 1n the representa- tive of Russia @ most sincere and effective assistance in inaugurating that policy in China which was the crowning act of Mr. Burlingame’s life, 4 General Viangally during his stay in america Wishes to become acquainted With our institutions and examine the progress and rapid development which form so remarkable a feature of American history, It is his intention to visit the battle fleld of Gettysburg and other places rendered famous by tho rebellion, It Wevident that before returning to eneral wishes to know our people, 4 nmon with the Russian nation, are most interested in preserving the generous and progressive policy began by Mr. Buriiugame from being over- turown by the re on Which, no doubt, will be attempted by interested parties In China. Tn every case it is the bounien duty of the American goyernment to see that the muverests of tie United States do not sutfer on the Paciic. The United States and -Russia are the only ntaions hav- ing great aud permanent interests in China. The interests of Western Europe are but the interests of the hour, founded on the desie to make a3 much money as possible out of the Chinese, without “regard to the rights of — wishes of a ta which forms one-third of the whole hhnman famiiy. A wise Providence sent Mr, Bur- lihgame to perform & great mission at the proper moment, It is the duty ol the United States to see that this mission be faithfully and honestly carried out and that its principles be not forsaken hereafter. The Emperor and peopie of Russta have shown in the most uumistakabie manner, both by word and deed, that the Busingams policy is {helt polley. ‘The proper position of Cina and her itégrlty can ve secured and maintained only bya genuine and friendly understanding between her, the Untied States and Russia. America and Russia can control the policy of ail other natious in Chinese affairs if these two great Powers of the Eastern and Western Continenis will but act together. Recognizing the reat principle that our neighbors’ prosperity 13 beneficial to us, it ia our best interest to see that Jus- tice is done to China, Russia 1s m the same posi. ton. She touches China by land; we do by water. Our commerce in the future will be immense unless with a@ heglect amounting to criminait'y we allow other and in reality less iavored nations to take tt away from us. If we allow China to be Indianized we shail commit @ crime, aid what might be called worse—a mistake without paraliel in history. Mr. Burlin- game, who was on intimate terms with President Grant, was ecnfident of the sympathy of the Chief Magistrate, and said that “the President was fully alive to the necessity of making the influence of America felt in Chinese affairs.” ‘The visit of the Russian Minister, it 1s to be ex- [seen will be met by those expressions of weicome y our ciiizens which are due to so distinguished a visitor and to a man wWilo Js ikely for a long time to come to represeit @ power so friendly to the United States as Kussia, and whose co-opera‘ion is of such importance.in secing that ju ce is doue to Cliina, GERMANY AND ROME, North Germany and the Ecumenical Council Diplomatic ActionA Uoulidemial Dese. patch—-Words of Warning to the Pope= Danger of the Crisis--A Disputed Gilt—The Greeks at Jerusalem. BERLIN, May 30, 1870. So much has been satd and writien about the joint protest of France and North Germany in matters of the Ecumenical Council, that you may he desirous of giving to your readers the verbatim contents of the confident.al despatch addressed by Count Von Arnim, the representative of the North German Bund, to Cardinal Antonelli. The said document, originally written in French, is now befvre me ia German. 1 translate it thus:— THE GERMAN NOTE, ‘i soMp, May 23, 1870. ae Ly 23, 1870. MonsiGNor—The Imperial F oVernment has acquainted us With the memoir relatfog to the Coum- cil which your Holiness has been p!eased to receive from the han:is of ihe French ambassador. Having been Called upon by the Cabinet of the ‘'ulieries to support the observations made by it to the Holy Father, aa President of the Council, the government of the North German Confederation has not hesita- ted to join in steps which are considered timely and even urgent by many Uatholics, who wish the deit- berations of the Council to result ina work of reli- gious and social peace. Lasoo the government of the Confederation wou! legiect its duty if, in the face of the deep emvtion prevailing in the bn in Germany, 1t did not confirm tlie identity of the views as developed in the French menivir with the serious apprehensions which have taken hofd -ef the. minds in Germany, who are startled at the thottgit that seso.unons of nell, arrived atin spite of the simost unani- mous opinion of the Germun episcopacy, might create painful Eseries 4 by imposing an everlasting. consict upon the dictates of conscience. This is not all, It is notorious that neither the German bishops who, ia our eyes ag Well a8 in those of the Holy See, are the legitimate representatives of the German Catholics, nor the episcopacy of the Austro-Hun- garian empire, have beea able to adopt the views Wiich appear to sway the Couicil. Our bishops Nave attended to the duty, by documents published in the press, the ‘huthenticily of which has never been disputed, of pointing ont in advance the Geplorable results vo be apprehended if, with. out heeding the opposing voice of a con- siderable minority, the supreme authority of the Church and the majority of the Councii would proceed to ordain certain decrees which, by intro- ducing in the form of dogmatic definitions serious changes in the limits of authority appertaming ‘o each degree of the hierarchy, could not fail at the same time to impair the mutuat position of civil and Teligious power. Such decices, far irom being only vague threats for the future, seem rather calculated to revive old and sufficiently known Papal constitu. tions which peopie o! all times ard nations haye con- stantly opposed, and to surround tiem with a new matic sanction, The proclamation ot such prin- ciples to-day from the lofiy position of the Papal chair, and their maintenauce by a! ile ineaus of pe: suasion at the disposal Of the Church, would, we prehend, cause conf im ail the relations be- tween Church and State and bi tag on crises which, in spite of its traditional witilon, the Papai gov rmay perhaps not have contempiated, becau. its being. less abic than ourselves to judce of the iw our country. There is one point or pe tance to Wiich we would ‘direct the the Papal government. in many Catholics aud non-Catholies must well together peaceably. ~There exists a current Which, under the influcnce of day relatons and constant imiercourse, wilnout domg away with the NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1870.—TRIPLE distinction of creed, has at last brought tozethor the ditierent persuastons tn such a manner as to jusily hopes tat at some future day ail the living powers of Christ\antty a be united for jointly combat. errors from which the worid is suffertug alread: to the great injury of the religious clement, Now, it 4s to be apprehended that this approximailve move- men’ would be forcibly checked, If events shoult prove that the tendencies contesied by our bishops @nd apa vst which pubic opinion has employed all the arguments <terived from the necessity to defend the basis of our national alms against whatsoever attack, should prove so far victorious In the deitbera- tlons Of the Council as to be dictated tothe world as the ktandard of religious faith, and hence of politl- calacton. Our populition would—wo say it with- out the possibiifty of a misiake—look upon this as a revival af ou struggies, for 1 could never be quieted by an argumentative process purporting to render tie poliiieal bearing eutirely independent of what it would be taught to consider its religious duty, It is not Impossible that the government of the coutederation—which has not been 8 reproach for not having timely opposed the justly or unjustly so-called projecis of Rome—may lick that freedom of acUon In religious affairs which it has heretofore employed for the interest of the Catholic Church, Waile making these observations to the Papal chair we are by nO means imbued with the ideas of those Whom the Roman Coutt probably considers its opponents. We have no interest in weakening the authority of the Pope, Asa friendly Power, aid to render anew service tothe Papal chair, we would willingly assist, by the candor with which we dwell upon our own difficulties and upon the danger of a religious crisis, in.removing from the discusstons of ‘the Council whatever might compromise the alto- Nene satisfactory position of the Catholic Church in Gerinany, If we could flatter ourselves on having 00-operated in such result we would not only be obliged Jor it to the wisdom of the holy chair, but would regard it as an additional motive to peisevere in that position which we have always maintatned towards the Roman Court, Accept the assurances, VON ARNIM. The above shows the rather determined stand taken by Count Von Arnim with reference to the Ecumenical Council, as also the harmony existing between France and Germany with regard to Catho- Tic affairs. IN JERUSALEM. Another instance of resolute action on the part of a diplomatic representative of the Confederation is reported from Jerusalem. It appears that the Crown Prince of Prussia during his recent journeyto the East was presented by the Sultan of Turkey with a plot of ground in Jernsalem for tho use of. the Knights of St.John. When the Consul General of North Ger- Many proceeded to take possession the Greeks ag- serted a prior claim, showing their title, with the Pacha's signature acknowledging at the same time receipt of purchase money, The Copsul General, Baron Von Alten, was fairly taken aback, but told the Greeks that the Sultau only could rightfully dis- pose of the property; that they could recover their money from the Pacha, but that if they woula not cede the ground voluntarily he would take it by force, The etfect of this has been to retard the in- tended journey from hence of Prince Charles, brother of the King, who is Grand Master of the Knighis of St. John. It seems that Russia favors the positton taken by the Greek claimants, FRANCE. The Fashiouable Season in Paris—Brilliant “Wind-Up”? by Royal and Other Fetes Country Houses and Seaside Idcas—Prome enade on the Bois de Boulogno—Beauty, Caivalzy and Style~The ‘Peopie?? Who Drive Ont. Panis, June 1, 1870. The fashionable seasou of Paris 1s rapidly winding Up and the lasf balis, the Jast races and final séres are coming off in bewildering succession. The ‘pe. tits cundis” of the Empress, which is the name of four very select balls given annually at the Tulleries by her Majesty, and these usuaily take place in April, have this year been deferred by various clrcumstances to the present moment, and the second of the series was given on Monday. Theso pretty assemblages will coaciude the festivities of the Palace for the year. Tn the beau monde, the last ball of. the season, oc- curred on Friday at the Countess de Gabriac’s, and the fact that it was the last rallied an immense con- course of the indomitables whose thirst for gayety seoms unabated after the unbroken round of enter- tainments which have filled up the last five months, The season begins here with the new year and ter- minates with the great racing event of the year, called the Grand Prixt de Paris, whichcomes off on the Bois de Boulogne the first Sunday in June. This is the signal for a general dispersion of the world of fashion which is scattered forthwith in all imagina- ble directions, Country houses and watering places absorb the greatest aumber. pecially for strangers, is the promenade in the Bois de Boulogne, which in point of foliage surpasses our celebrated Central Park in New York, but in other respects is inferior, For instance, the rock scenery hore is ail artificial, while with us it {s Nature’s own beautiful handiwork. From four o’clock to seven o'clock P. M. every day at this flue season the dis- play of equipages in this favorite resort 13 something almost indescribable for Taga? splendor and taste. here 1s nothing like it elsewhere in the world. In London you see a3 many fine horses—for the English breed is not yet surpassed in France— but here the carriages are lar more gracetul in form and more elegant 1m decoration. Besides the Paris- jans are fonder of display than the sober-minded English, and hence the harness used for parade in the Park 18 richer in ornament, while footmea, coachmen and postiilions are got up ina style that may be called gorgeous. But showy and brilliant as are the equipages, they do not constitute all the at- traction of adrive in ‘the Bois. The toilets of the jJadics, resplendent in all the colors of the raitbow, in homage to the advent of summer, and distiny ed by that rare fancy and taste which inakes Paris the throne of fashion, to say nothing ot the easy manner and graceful bearing of the ladies themselvyes—this 1s a phase of the sight to be seen in the “Central Park” of Paris that is absolutely un- approachable in the wide world, Most of the car- riages are drawn by two horses. Many pretty littie “Victorias” are content with one; but certain well- knowh lovers of hdrsefiesh appear daily with the pick of their stables in a carriage and four, Some are driven before a London ‘‘drag,’’ but others are mnanaged by two postillions & 7a Daumont. Of the latter class the best turnout 1s decidedly that of an American, well known on both sides of the water— Lewis Cass, son of the fate Secretary of State. There is still auother salient feature of these alluring gatherings in the ‘bois, and that is the number of celebrities, not only of Paris, but of all Europe. The prominent member of the diplomatic body; the jeaders of fashion widely known; foreign dignitaries ang princes of European fame, not to speak of those glittering and ephemeral creatures, the Cynthias of the hour, Who, in Paris, obtaia notoriety not only by ir splendor of toilet and equipage, but by ele- gance of manners and good taste in conception. POLITICS AS THEY PREVAIL—THE PLEBISCITUM AND “REDS,” It is high time, however, to return from the ‘Bois’? to Paris, where there happens to be little going on of interest. The political worid 1s very stagnani. The Chamber still meets almost daily, but there is little of that excitement which preceded the plevis- cite. The truth is, the opposition have had their Re terribly Serhened by that nae vote, iis of ps) i of t “arreconclla- bles’? teat kly admlis ft ‘Ee tg ae simply Means one thing above all others, namely, that “France 13 resolved against all revolution.” In this case, what is to become of Kochefort and his disci- pies, who were crazy enough to thlak, or pretended to, that France desired nothing less than an over- throw of all that existed. There 16 no donbt of 1t the “would be’’ revolutionis( in the Chamber and out of it gave a great deal of animation to the politt- cal world, and now we have fallen into something like a dead sea of dullness, that is becoming quite wearlsome, Thre projet of the Oliivier Ministry to lower the salaries of any new members of the Senate to Lelow, leaving those of the existing Senators at the oki rate, 1s now meeting with serious opposition after the merriment first excited has subsided, The probability increases that if the government don’t ‘withdraw in time it will be defeated in the Cham- ber, which would be @ check and might lead to the resignation of Olivier. Some of the members of the lower House thinx it would be more desirable to make the sdlaries of the Senators the same as tho Deputtes—nameiy, $12,500f. ($2,500), Which is less pay than our members of Congress, Kconomy ts geiting-nore ard more the fashion in bigh quarters, and that touches tite only real grievance that can be aLeged against the imperial government—to-wit, that ii has spent more money than was judicious, Certain it 1s all the synrptoms tend now the other way. The other day the Minister of War staved that 120,000 men of the army,had been sent to their homes, subject, of course, to call in case of emer- gency; but this will be a great relief“to the Budget. ‘This year a less number than asual will be enrolied. We had a bttle flutter in the,Chamber last week yout the dissolution of the committee formed in Paris to aid the plebiscite, These gentlemen pro- poscd to remain organized for any future election that might tarn up, But the government wicely objected, saying the law prohibited political organi- zaitons 2s dangerous to order, and if they allowed those favorable to them to exist how couid they re- fuse others opposed to them? Qilivier niade a very sensible speeca on the topic, and the Chamber sus- tained him almost unanimously. / : Several of the leading men, to the number of a handred, have formed themselves into a league in- ‘ntiatton of those famous organizations of Cobden's day, and their object 1s to discuss the best mode of “decentralizing’? the French government.

Natio Politics and the Pablic Situation— The Untted States Debt—British Attempts at Financial Retrexchwent—Increasing Power of the Democracy. Lonpon, June 2, 1370. A great deal has been recently said among Eng- lish members of Parliament and others respecting the ease and rapidity with which America is clear- ing off the debt which she meurred tu her late civil war. Mr. Bright points with admiration to the fact that his favorite exemplar among the nations has been abie in an incredibly short space of time to re- deem an amount of debt such as has had no parallel in the civilized world, Mr. vobden, had he lived, would also have rejoiced over the fact, and would have adduced it as another argument in support of those United Statea democratic institutions which he loved so well, and which he did go much to estab- tablish and cause to take root in England, At pres- ent there is a strong movement among the advanced section of the radicals of the House of Commons in favor of the American policy in this respect, and they are supporting the agitation they are carrying on by triumphantly pointing to the splendid success of that policy in the States. They maintain—and they lose no opportunity of pressing their theories upon the notice of the House—that some strenuous and determined effort ought to be made to reduce the awful incubus of the English national debt, Mr, Gladstone, as 1s well known, is strongly in favor of the ‘movement, and is not slow, in common with all Tight-minded meo, in doing homage to the splendia achievements of the American people m paying What they owed, and, as it were, starting afresh in political and national life, aig age just now @ dificulty in the way ofthe English Parlia- ment~following in the footsteps of Congress. What with royalty, our wasteful ex(ravagance in the War and Foreign ofices, our ploated pension lists, our war expeditions and other things, the peopie have of late years been groaning uuder the burden of their taxation.

What reductions have, up till this time, been ac- complished, have been chielly made at the Admi- ralty. When the present government acceded to office they found that department of the public ser- Vice in a state of Ue most wasteful corruption. No attempt had for many years been made to reform its abuses or (o clean out the mogoe stabie, which lon, years of oMicial favoritisin and jobbery had reduced to a condition that was considered to be hopeless. Departments had been multiplied, places had been created and sinecures had been established by the score, One-hali of the clerks had nothing whutever to do, and Re ey themselves insulled when asked to do it, while the other halt had succeeded in bring- ing What work there was to accomplish into inex- tricable confusion, Waste and something worse than waste prevailed, not only at the dockyards, but even at the offices in London. Acres of ground in the various yards were covered with accumulations of stores of valuable gous, which were absolutely rotting away. The purchase system was 90 full of abuses that both the coniractors and those who had to deal with them on benalf of the Admiralty were jmaking fortunes, and everywhere throughout the department business was done in the most unbusinessiike manner and at the most rumous cost to the country, In the case of one contract, amounting to many thousands of pounds, the Adihiralty had for twenty-five years been. paying upwards of two dollavs for what they are low only paying one half dollar, and the very best Gallipolt oil Which can be purchased they are now buying gt the ryte gf twenty-four dollars per ton cheaper thai formerly.

Kis Royal Highness Invested with the Insignia of St. Michael and St. George—Imposing Scone at Montreal—A Large Crowdand a Brilliant Spectacle—Deseription of the Ceremonies of Investment. MonTREAL, June 13, 1870. Prince Atthur, the clever ittle son of Queen Vic- toria, has about completed his visit on thts side of the Atlantic, and ina few days he will be sailing across the waters for his home on the other side, He has secn a great deal to admire since his arrival at the wharf in Hallfax on the 22d of July last, and a great many have seon and admired him, and in tak- ing his leave he will carry with him the kind wishes of net only tne provincial people, but the godspeed of thousands in the United States, Here, In Mont- real, Where he has remaimed during the winter as an officer of the Royal Rifle Brigade, he will leave very many who will not soon forget his democratic qual- ities and gentlemanly deportmentr, All sorts of honors and tokens of respect and aa- miration have been vouchsafed to him from tine to time, but the latest was reserved until the eve of his departure, and this consisted in making the young Prince a Knight Grand Cross of the most dis- tinguished order of St. Michael and St. George. ‘The ceremonies of investure took-place in St, Pat- rick’s Hall in this city, on Saturday, as has already been announced in the HERALD’s telegrams. They were very brief and simple, and yet grand and im- posing, and were participated in and witnessed by several thousand. ‘The occasion was made a general Noliday throughout the city, and the royal standard and the flag of the Britons were Uberaliy displayed yerywhere, The ceremonies did not take place unt! as late as three o'clock in the afternoon, but the whole day was made one of high carnival. Early in the afternoon the hall was filled with a brilliant throng of ladies and gentlemen, who whiled away the time as patiently as they could until ihe inspir- ing strains of the national anthem gave warning that the Prince and other notabilities were approach- ing. They came in carriages under escort of a mam- moth procession, and the gushing cheers of the crowds in the streets were almost deafening as they passed along. Besides his Royal Highness there were Sir John Young, Governor General’of the Do- Ininion, and Lady Goer Baron Gauthier, Consul Gencral of France; Mr. Dart, Gonsul General of the United Staies; Mr. Joseph, Consul for Belgium; Mr. F, W.

Upon feaching an en space opposite the throne from where the ceve- monies of tnveature were to tuke place the procession filed off cight and left, forming behind the throne and to front of it.

They are all, as is well Known, of ver: ancient date. ‘i‘ne Most Noble Order of the Garter,” as it is styled, wnleh ranks first in dignity and im- portance, was founded in June, 1348, by Edward IIL. “The Most Honorable Order, of the Bath’ was founded 1399 by King Henry iV. “The Most Nobie and Most Ancient Order of the Thistle, of Scotland,’? ia sald to have been instituted at the beginning of the ninth century, and after falling into desuetyde it was renewed by King James VIL, of Scotland and IL, of Engiand, tn 1657. The Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick, of Ireiand,’ was founded as recently as 1683 by George Ill. ‘The Most Exalted Order of the Star of India” was founded by her present Majesty in 1881, to honor distliguished services in the Indian empire. The ‘Most Distin- guished Order of St. Michael and St. George’ 1s a very recent foundation of Queen Victorla, aud ma} be said to be founded for eminent cotonial services. ‘There was an old “Order of St. Michael” instituted by Louis XI, of France. It was composed of men of name aud o1 birta, and was limited to the number of vhirty-six, who could only be degraded for three crimes—heresy, treason and cowardice. At first, chieily military in their significance, badges of knighthood are now the emblems of rank and worth In various departments of life. They are no longer employed, as of Oid, to distinguish combatants in the field, but are used a8 murks of honor for na- Uonal service either in clyil or military affairs, ‘The Prince left here to-day for Waterloo, where he wiil remain a brief period, and then spend a day or two in fishing in Lake Memphramagog. Nexv week he will visit Quebec, where there will be a grand ball given in his honor, and from there he will proceed down to the York river, and thence to Gaspe, from which point he will, in about a fort- night, sail for Mngland with his regimeut in the Engilsh troopship Crocoulile.

The Female Suffragists Reouked—Deciston ot % Judge Madiil, eat the St. Louis Republican, June at) Thiscase was decided Saturday by Judge Madill, who, in giving his dectston, suid :—Tihis case of Mes- senger 1s for asult of habeas corpus brought by the father for the possession of two children, aged re- iadly | Colonel Broome vs. Tho Color Factories on Flush gh t manuiacturing house of this clly and Lientenans Colonel Broome, of the-Brooklyn Navy Yard, as to be enjoined from further operations: Licutenant spectively twenty months and about three years and > a@half, Sofaras the youngest child is concerned there 1s no controversy; the custody is to remain with the mother. With reference to the custody of the elder child, about three years anda halt, the only question which the Court feels at liberty to entertain im this case is the interest of the child itself. So far as the evidence shows In this case the mother of the child seems to beliving separate irom her husband without any justification, or, in other words, she is living separate from her husband in Violation of the laws of the State. So faras the evidence discloses there may be some cause, there may be ho cause for it, If any existe it is in the secret history of the family and not nefore this court. In disposing of this case I teel justified under the circumstances, in view of the situation of the father, who has no home— DO residence of his own, no relatives to whom he can give the charge of this infant, but is obliged to leave it with strangers, and 1t wiil receive such care and attention as strangers would bestow upon !t—but that would be governed by the amount the father paid for it—I feel justified in awa.ding the custody of the child to the mother, forthe pre- sent; not thatthe mother has any right to tbe child at all, or that she has auy claim to the consideration of the court for the custody of-the child; but the well-being of the. child seems to require for tie pre- sent that it should remain with the mother. “But the Court directs that the father of tne child be alowed access io it as often ag he sces fit to visit, Without any limitations or sestraint on the part of the mother, Further, that he be at liberty to take that child, or both chitdren, for tne purpose of recre- ation or pleasure, to lis own abode, or wherever he sees fit, within the Jurisdictiun of ihls court, at least three times during.the week, and to retain posses. sion of the child for these purposes, not to exceed ten hours on each occas aud that be further be at liberty to furnish apparel or means of subsistence for the children as they may require and he see fit, and that neither iather nur mother take the child beyond the jurisdiction of this court. If the Court finds that thé mother of the child olfers any limita ons, or does not strictly compty with the order, the Court will entertain an epaheana for a perempiory order for the custody of the child, CONNECTICUT RIVER SHAD FISHERIES.—The shad that come into the Cunnecticut come through the Sound from the west and turn into the river at Say- brook.

The owner of the factory, belleving that the complaint of Colonel Broome was whimsical and childish, and being under contract with the Treasury Depariment to supply colors for printing the national currency, requested the Secre- tary of che Navy to appo nt a board of officers to Investigate the matter, instead of following up the in- Junction, which would cause @ loss to the govern. ment in the delivery of their colors, Thus the board has been formed aid proceeds with the business to- day. Whether the case will be ultimately settled by the court or not cannot be foreshadowed, but if the testimony of experienced chemists and others, such as Dr. Doremus, 18 of avail in court or before the board, there seems but little doubt that the will go against the prejudices of the marine, especially as he is alone in the a'tack upon the industries of that portion of Brooklyn, It 13 certain that none of ‘the neighbors complain, but have voluntarily signed as to the entire absence of any annoyance or disa- greeable odors or vapors from the faciory in ques- tton, As that portion of tiie Navy Yard aituated on very swampy and made lane, the Investigation may be the meaus of pointing out to the govorn- ment the unhealibiness of the quarters and barracks, and cause their removal, thus adding to the wealth of the city several acres of land admiraoy situated for manufacturing purposes. upusial the fact of being ete. base is’ properly a moanletpal ej be fore 8 Bint may the nts “mi ulate themselves it Be he qa betore Judge Bencdict, should it mot be amloubly settled sooner by the straightiorward commandant of the yard, Admiral Godon, The proceedings will Re Watched with interest, as It seems to be a represent- ative case a6 to how fara subordinate officer can give annoyance to citizens in pursuit of their cailing. ‘Taxpayers certainly pay ZoVernment enough not be put to unnecessary annoyance and expense by the caprices of officers, There is no Way of recover- ing damages if the United States destroys one’s business and is then proven to be in error. Professor Doremus thus expresses hunself regard- ing the matter:— ~ The only operation which yielded an odor was the boiliny of the cochineal, and the subsequent heating of the brilliant colored infusion, The watery vapor arising from the vessels containing sald liquid was impreanated with an empyrematic flavor, which though peculiar and characteristic waa not ble. over the vats, and a Uttle distance from them in the room.
