\ ——— empire. 1s it not possible for us to find a lesson in this for ourselves? There is cer- tainly room for improvement. But we suppose the spoilsmen are as yet too strong. Striking at the Root. We have been trying by various methods to suppress what has come to be called “the social evil.” Tho police have occasionally made active descents upon houses of question- able reputation and have made victims of the poor fallen female portions of humanity ‘who find their wretched homes and degraded living therein. This is not the way to correct fhe mischief. Indeed, it is a very cowardly way, to say the least of it, to deal with the question—thie hauling up gf unhappy women before’ police courts, thus adding to the private shame of their lives the public shame of a use- less exposure anda temporary punishment. It ‘does no possible good in the way of correction, and yet this seems to be the extent of the appli- ances used by our police authorities. The Grand Jury of Cincinnati have adopted a wiser course. They have struck at the root of the ‘evil by indicting 9 number of rich landlords for renting houses “for illicit purposes,” The Grand Jury, having no doubt ascertained the fact that these property owners knew full well the pripose for which their houses were to be employed, and having ascertained also that they receive double the rent for this class of houses, have indiofed them as the parties responsible for the vice fostring within, Asto how much of the responsibility rests ppon the owners who rent houses for such uses in all our large cities, there can be very little doubt, They do not hesitate to demoralize whole neigaborhoods to gratify their avarice. It is worse than useless, therefore, to organize police raids upon the wretched inmates of these establishments while the law permits the owners to hire them out with a knowledge of what usea they are to be put to, Ignorance cannot be urged ag @ plea in defence, for the rent roll will show how wuch more profitable the wages of sin are to the landlord than the income derived from houses engaged in 7 mate business. The Cincianati Grand Jury have taken the right view of the subject in striking at the chief malefactors, and it would be well if their example were followed in other cities, our own especially. Summer Politics and Local Suggestions, During the summer months, when every- thing else is ‘lone and dreary,” there is a fgreat Geel of fun and flummery mixed with common deuse 9nd shrewdness displayed at the watering placws: But even the schemes laid there are not ly to hatch unless they are met by a gentle ri froi tne Press. "The Presidential ion will, of course, be + discussed everywh gopecially at all the sulphur springs and in ti@ salt water, But here in the State of New Yor the question “**Who shall be the next Governor{” will be prominent. We yesterday gave an ‘Article |- from a Yates county republican paper show- \ fing that in its opinion De Witt C. Little- \ john would be the most available person | for the republican nomination for Goy- ‘ernor. Mr. Littlejohn is pretty well known jas a legislator. Perhaps we might say \that what he does not know about Albany is not worth knowing; but his policy is the \policy of the republican party—that is, the \poliey of the minority party in the State. erefore Mr. Littlejohn’s services in the gubernatorial chair might as well be supposed to be dispensed with so long as the intention of the people is that the present incumbent shall be his own successor. Let us hear more from our country friends. oS Mexican REBELS oN THE RAMPAGE.—We published yesterday a special despatch by way of Havana of some very funny wevsegilags of the Mexican rebels ai the seaport town of ‘Guaymas, on the Gulf of California. On the 28th of May the town was surprised and taken by the revolutionary force under Colonel Vas- ‘canno, the troops being landed from what had been an English gunboat. The invaders car- Tied off to sea from the Custom House, the || arsenal and merchants a large amount of plunder in money, merchandise, arms, muni- tions of war and provisions, loading with their ‘booty two or three vessels in the harbor, with which, towed by their old gunboat, they put to sea and made good their escape. Other ports along the gulf, it was supposed, would next be visited by this revolutionary party and levied upon for contributions towards the establish- ment of a ‘‘Northwestern Mexican Republic.” Of course all these Mexican revolutionary ad- ventures simply mean plunder ; but where are Juarez and his army all this time? Pvor Juarez has his hands full of revolutions in other quarters, and so it will be till Mexican anarchy is ended by ‘manifest destiny.” Tnx Time Has Nor Yer Come.—It is ex- pected that the report on the petition of the Orleans princes will be presented to the Cham- bers on the 2d of July. It is confidently stated by the Paris journals that the govern- ment will not, at least for the present, permit the exiled princes to return to France. If the Orleans family are willing to accept the situa- tion and thus recogniz: the present dynasty it seems hard that they should not be allowed to come back. If they do not accept the siiua- tion they have no right to expect permission toreturn. It is manifest, however, that their presence in France would not contribute to the comfort of the Emperor. The time may come when their presence in their own land would neither injure nor annoy the Emperor. :But that time isnot yet. Say what they may | they are rivals of the Bonapartes. In our judgment they are better out of France than | init. So long as they are in exile they gain | Father than lose, { GENERAL NOTES.

These townships embrace a large extent of excellent agricultural lands, abun- dantly supplied with Umber sufficient for the wants of the setlers along the slopes ot the mountains, Numerous quarries of lime and red sandstone fur- nish inexhaustible quanvties of excellent buliding materials. Fillmore Cry, situated on the souta- western part of the township 21 south, range 4 west of the Salt Lake meridian, contains about 1,200 in tants, Cedar Springs, a village of about 200 imbabitants, is situated in the north western part of township 20 south, range 4 west, ARMY MTELLIGENCE, WASHINGTON, Jume 25, 1870.

It was princely regal, the’ [nit measure of enjoy- ment afloat, Every cloud, however, has a leaden side, and i was unfortunate that tn this day of pleasure an alloy should have mterposed which marred the- gener enjoyment at the last. Iusteal of returning to the city at eight o'clock last eventug it was midnight ere the vessel reached her dock foot of Murray street. She isa vessel of mammoth dimensions, 345 feetin length and upward of 5,000 tons burden, auc’ made too many intevme- diate iandings on the trip, These consumed so muc time that she Was four hours overdue solely on account of the dificulty experi enced ti making the landings with such an unwieldly vesse Under full headway is Blysium, but in making a small dock ata river- side town she Is a bore.

APPEARANCE OF THE EXCURSIONISTS, It was amusing to watch the eager groups on the wharves waking to get on board the vessels ying to keep off the sun with parasol and umbrellas, Young ladies were changing their fans from hand to hand In order to use their dainty pocket handker- chiefs to wipe the oozing perspiration that would keep coming, notwithstanding the frequent applten- tion of the moistened piece of cambric.
