Mysteries of Diplomacy—Mr. Motley’s Suc- eessor Determined Upon—New Source of Mineral Wealth in Nevada— New Natlonal Banks, WASHINGTON, Sept, 17, 1870, ‘The New Minister to England—Newsmongers jo a Quandary. A very great deal of interest 1s felt in the appoint- ment of a new Minister to England in place of the erudite Motley, and a very great deal of mystery ap- pears to exist on the subject. The newsmen only agree on one point, and that is, that the appoint- ment has been made and accepted. Who the ap- polntee is no one seems to know except Grant, Fish, and possibly some few Cabinet officers, Grant won't tell; Fish says he can’t let the cat out of the bag, and unfortunately, there is no one else from whom to obtain the required information, except the ap- pointee himself. The cause of this unusual secrecy is perplexing; but I am informed that there are good reasons for it. Jresijent Grant ts said to have taken the business into his own hands, and it 1s supposéd that he intends to give such Instructions about our difficulties with England as will leave no further fleld for doubt or embarrassment on the ‘part of our future repre- sentative, Motley is sald to have complained of dubious instructions as one of the causes of his sud- den recail. If that be true, his successor will be left no cause to make a similar complaint. The instruc. tions are tobe brief, simple, decisive and yet com- prehensive of all the occasions of “onpleasantness”’ between the two countries. Mr. lish, on being asked to disclose the name of the appointee, de- clined, on the ground that the President 1s the only one who can give information on the subject, and that it would be unwise and {mproper to do so under existing circumstances if he were at liberty. New Source of Mineral Wealth in Nevada. The Commissioner of the General Land OMce ts tn receipt of samples of potash salts from the newly discovered and extensive deposit in Churchill county, Nevada, As a new source of mineral wealth connected with the development of chemical indus- try the subject is of public in‘erest. Not only do the salts furnish the purest potash but the lye therefrom ‘ls available for bromine, the price for which since 1865 has fallen to one-fourth of its former cost. Hitherto the sources of bromine have been the mother of lyes, resulting from the evaporation of sea water in southern France; the kelp or varec (& species of alge) of Nether Bretagne and England and the water of the Dead Sea. ‘The tatter contains already, at a@small depth, 0.7 per cent of bromine, which is separated by means of bichromate of potash ana morifatic acid. Since the discovery of the potash de- Posits in Straasfurt all these sources have been un- available. The lyes of chloride of magnesium, .a pro- duct in the manufacture of the potash salts, contain from 0.15 to 0.26 per cent of bromine, which is extracted by subjecting them to distillation with per oxide of manganese and muriatic acid, and re- fining the obtained bromine in the ordinary manner. ‘The Strassfurt bromine is nearly chemically pure; it supersedes the English and French, and has pushed them already from the market. In the manufacture. of aniline colors it nas become the substitute for fodine, and 1s already in extensive use as a disinfec- tant in the European hospitals, owing to the fact that it affects the lungs less than chlorine. Allyle of brumine 15 used for the pre- paration of artificial mustard ofl. The cfude bromine salts find application for the manufacture of mineral waters. In 18¢5 the production of bro- mine salts in Strassfurt amounted to 1,500 pounds, While at the present time it is increased to 20,000 Pounds, The bromine has scarcely been of any use heretofore, but since the discovery of the potash deposits in Strassfart and in Nevada it has become of daily growing importance. English Emigration to the West. Our consul at Shefileld writes here that there will soon be several emigrants from that portion of Eng- land to this country with a view to settling in the West, principally in Minnesota. Among them there will bea member of the English Parliament, who will be accompanied by several young men anxious to experience life in our country. Distillation of Brandy from Fruit. It 1s expected that in all the fruit growing als- tricts of the country there will be a very large increase this year in the revenue derived from the distillation of brandy from fruit. In the district comprising North and South Carolina Supervisor P. W. Perry reports to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that the receipts this year from the source described will be $330,000, while last year it was only $70,000, This wonderful increase is attributed to the reduction of the amount of bond required of brandy distillers—a change inaugurated by Mr. Delano, _ Treasury Balances.

THE HAMMER AFFRAY IN NEWARK. ‘The Henrazp has alreaay given the particulars of a rather singular affray which took place in Newark on the afternoon of the 7th instant, in the course of which, as alleged,@ young carpenter, named Jacob Kohl, of 61 Houston street, struck Michael Dunn, & painter, residing at 43 Ward street, ‘a violent blow on the temple with a hammer, tnflict- ing @ wound which competent medical wu- thority declared must prove fatal. For many days Dunn's condition was watched with great anxiety, nor is he out of danger yet. Yesterday, however, Ludwig Kohl, the father of the accused, Who was still in jail, appeared before Justice Dean with a letter from Dr. O'Gorman, Dunn's physician, setting forth that he had improved sowauch that the doctor entertained almost a c tain hope of his ultimate recovery. On the strength of this the magistrate admjtted Kohl to bait in the sum of $500, his father bélng his bondsman. The situation of the injured man is one that calls aloud to the humane ana generously disposed. He has been but five months in the country, and it took every penny he made prior to the affray to send for his wile and two children. ‘They are expected daily, and will see misery, destitution and danger where they expected comfort and hanpiness. re- WASHINGTON. | Potion meetives Last wicur.

The Convention of the Young Democracy, consist- ing of a representative from each election district, to elect aelegates to the Rochester Convention, was held last evening at Apollo Hall, General E. M. Bar- num presiding. A committee having been formed to make out a ticket, and they having retired, a delegate informea the meeting that Brick Pomeroy was present, an announcement which was received with tre- mendous cheering. In response to a loud call, Mr. Pomeroy stepped upon the Nat- form and delivered one of his characteristic and red-hot speeches. He said he was proud to meet the honest democrats who had thrown off the Tammany yoke. He was heart and soul with the democrats who were working for the purity of the ballot box and the decrease of taxation. He had been called a red-hot democrat, but before the present campaign was over he would make it red- hot for the men who wrung taxes from the poor working people to build rosewood stables and pala- tial residences. This sentence was received with thunders of applause. Mr. Pomeroy went on to say that he had no tight with the democratic party of Tammany Hall, but while he was able, with all the wer of his intellect and energy, he would war against the gross misrule and flagrant corruption of its leaders.

It would seem that the dimculty between Colonel Allen and Company A of the Fifty-fifth regiment did not have its first outcropping on whe occasion of the Franco-Irish picnic. The following letter is from one of the members ‘Who went to the picnic:— New York, Sept. 16, 1870, To THE Epitor or THE HERALD: Allow me, sir, to make # few remarks through ee columns about your comments In to-day’s BRALD On the conduct of certain members of the Fifty-filth regiment, N. G. 8, N. Y., on Tuesday last, First, 1t 1s not true that these members paraded armed and equipped, Second, we had the authorization from our captain to parade on that day, and then it was not our business to ask our colonel If it suited him or not, because @ captain has aright parade his company. The facts are simply these:—-When we came to the armory the armorer told us the colonel refused us our mnskets, and we resolved to parade without arms, and so we did. ‘The Fifty-iitth regiment { called Gurdes Lafayette. For a long time it was composed entirely of French- men, but now there is oniy @ sinall minonity left, The 6th day of September ts the birthday of Lafay- ette, a name dear to every Frenchman, and certain! to every American. “Our regiment parade every year in honor of the day; this year Colonel Allen refused ‘to call us out. Is it because Latayetie fougnt the when they were fighting here with redcoats to subdue the Americans. Now, Mr. Ealtor, that picnic of last Tuesday was not a political affair; it Was not against anybody; it was only to coliect funds for the wounded of the French army. Did not the whole Second brigade parade two years ago for a@ German processiou--a schutzenfest? Does not the Sixty-ninth Cs which regiment we had the plea- sure to meet @ few members last Tuesday) parade every year on St. Patrick’s day, in the same proces- sion with the Fenians? Does anyvedy ever say any- thing against it? Then I think our company, as a French company, had as much right to parade in a French procession as a German brigade or an Irish Tegiment has a right to parade in @ German or an Irish procession. A GARDE LAFAYETTE. It Is said that the major portion of the members of all the companies in the Fifty-fifth, with the excep- tion of Company A, are Germans, and so the French- men of the First company had rather uphill work of it to get up a demonstration. The writer of the letter makes a serious mistake when he says @ captain has a right to parade his company when he sees fit. A colonel has no right to paarde his regi- ment without asking the brigade commander, and when @ colonel parades his men without asking tho brigadier he commits an error which he ht be held accountable for did his superior oficer feel melined to define his rights as asnperior officer. ‘The case of a company refusing to obey the colonel of the regiment to which it belo is no parallel to the case of the Second brigade turning out at the Schutzenfest and the Sixty-ninth on St. Patrick’s Day. Both the jade and the Irish regiment paraded by order of their commanding officers, not against their or- ders. That they did turn out on occasions of the kind ts et proof that they had, strictly speak- ing, the right ag organizations to take part in the festivals they celebrated. ‘That little affair in the Eleventh regiment is still cram full of saltpetre at the explosive point. Cap- tain Funk states on his honor as a gentleman that none of the officers who voted for him were “seen’’ before the election. Why don’t the general of bri- made decide that appeal, and put an end to the thing at once ? There 1s no truth whatever in the report that Col- onel Clark, of the Seventh regiment, {s to resign, and that General McClellan is to take his place. The colonel is satisfied with his position, the boys of the Seventh are satisfied with him, and Gener:1 McClellan has got fea fr attend to just now without going into the itary business again, AQUATIC. ‘The following are the entries for the regatta of the Manhattan Rowing Club, to take place from the foot of Ninety-second street, East river, on the 20th inst., viz.:—Single scull race, Frank Bell, City Island; John H.

ACTIVITY OF THE HEALTH AUTHORITIES, Three Mysterious Deaths in tho City-Is There Yellow Fever Here t—Disinfectants and Fost Mortem Examinations—The Unknown Dis. ease on Governor’s Island—Mortelity Among tho Soldiers of the Garri- son—The Disease Not Contagious. On Thursday evening, at alate hour, information reached one of the Hrraup reporters that the oM- cials of the Board of Health were considerably ex- cised over the appearance tn the city of a new dis- ease, that some suspected to be yellow fever. Not wishing to needlessly alarm the public by publica. tion, the facts in the case, as far as could be ascer- tamed at that time, were briefly recorded in tho HERALD of Friday. They were simply that a family named Kelly, consisting of a man and wife, residing in Essex, near Diviston atreet, had attended the funeral of &® man named Har- rington, on Staten Island, and soon after return, ing had died of a fever. An investigation made at the time led the health authorities to the conclusion that the cause of death was pernicious remittent fever, and it was stated that there appeared to be no cause for alarm for the health of the city, ‘The publication of the paragraph attracted the attention of physicians of the city, and many found in the revelations made the solution of cases that they hud treated, and ones that seemed to baile them in making a prognosis as to the cause of death, Yesterday several cases of death from what ts sup- posed to be this disease were reported at the Boara of Health, and additional alarm was the result. The Sanitary Superintendent, Dr. Moreau Morris, while convinced tn his own mind that there was no cause for suspecting that the newly-discovered dia- ease was yellow fever, felt called upon to livestigate it, and he has done so most thoroughly. That the public and the medical profession may clearly un- dersqand the subject, it may be proper to detail mi. nutely the information that has reached the healtn authorities. It supcars that some ten days ago Mr. Harring- ton, referred to above, died on the Staten Island heights, of some kind of fever. Among those who attended the funeral was a Mr. Kelly, connected with one of the morning journals, is wile and a Woman named McCormick, who resided near the Kelly family, in Essex street. On thelrreturn from the funeral Mrs. McUormick Was taken 1, and died three days alter of a fever. She was buried without a pone mortem examination as to the cause of death. While this woman was ill of the fever Mr, and Mrs, Kelly were taken down and medical assistance was called, The report that the parties nad been pol- soned reached the authorities apd Mr. Kelly was sent to Bellevue Hospital, where he died on Monday last. Ou the same evening Mrs. Kelly died at tho house in Essex street, and the Sanitary Superin- tendent at once ordered the body to Bellevue Hos ital, where post mortem examinations were made yy Dr. Shine, of the Coroner’s office, and Dr. Jane- way, of Bellevue Hospita!. Dr. Morris was 80 anxious to discover whether the disease, which gave outward symptoms of yellow fever, was really such, that he de! Dr. Thomas Coltman, inspector of streets, who had had great experience in yel- low fever cases in the Crescent City, and Dr. Roberts, to attend the post mortem. These gentle- men found the bodies of the dvceased yellow and showing all the outward symptoms of yellow fever, with the exception of black vomit; but an examina- ton of the stomachs convinced them that the dis- ease was a pernicious remittent fever, not generally known in this climate, but one that they were satis- filed was not contagious. ‘To guard against the possible spreaa of the dis- ease, Which Dr. Morris feared might possibly result in the innoculation of others, he immediately de- Spatched to the house in Essex street several inspec- tor, who thoroughly disinfected the premises of the deceased persons, and there the action of the health authorities, 80 far as tne city Is concerded, ceased. But the Sanitary Superintendent did not stop here. Anxious to trace the disease to tts fountain head, which was believed to be on Staten Island, bra. Cottman @hd Roberts were sent there to make investigations. On Friday last they made thorough inquiries, and from relatives of the man Harrington received such contradictory state- ments that berg body induced to believed that the deceased haa become infected by some ship which had evaded the quarantine. They returnea to the city and made their report, which was py no means [ to allay the eacitement in the Board of t THE FEVER ON GOVERNOR'S ISLAND. For some time the alarmists, whose main employ- ment and supreme delight it seems to be to occa- sionally frighten their fellow citizens into a bad scare, have been circulating arumor to the effect that some malignant fever—perhaps yellow, per- haps malignant typhoid, and perhaps even anew and unusuaily fatal variety of the disease—has been making sad ravages upon Governor's Islaad. In some way this report has connected itself with the recent cases of yellow fever smuggled into the city in deflance of the vigilant Dr, Car- nochan through the criminal perverseness of the authorities of the Staie of New Jersey, Yesterday the Board of Health despatchea a sone of phys siclans t discover if possible what the facts in the matter were, Later on in the day a HERALD re- porter visited Dr. Page, the superintendent of the Medica} department on the Island, and obtuined the follow! rief but authoritative statement in re- gard to the rumored pestilence:. About the middie of August a dangerous fever, resembling in its main features 2 malignant bilious fever, broke out among the soldiers of the garrison and their families. Altogether there have since been twenty-seven cases of this disease on the island. Nine deaths have occurred and six cases have been dismissed | ssi cured. Twelve cases still remain in the hospital, but they are all doing Well and are on the highroad to recovery. Still slightly im doubt, the HERaLp reporter asked r. Page, “You don’t think, then, Doctor, that this disease is a form of yellow tever ?” The Doctor replied at once, in the most positive manner, “Tl am sure it is not. And, what is more, I am confident that all the cases now on our bands in the hospital will recover. I have a strong hope, too, that we have seen the last of the disease. It 1s already three days since a fresh case has appeared.” It 1a, theretore, pretty clear that whatever cause we may have to dread the: appearance of ycllow fever in the city itself, there is Httle doubt that the malady that has been raging during the past month on Governor's Island, according to the matured opinion of the authorities, is not in any way con- nected with it. A TERRIBLE WARNE A Boy Shot Dead With a Gun in Jersey City. Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock a squad of boys went a shooting for sport through the neighbor- hood of West Side avenue, Jersey City. They took with them an ordinary rife gun, which was shouldered by @ lad named Briggs, about sixteen years old. In order to perfect his practice with the weapon he ratsed 1t, stood attention, levelled again and familiarized himself with the trigger and the setting at full and half cock. While he was thus manwuvering his arms, it is supposed, became weak, and in an unfortunate moment down fell the hammer and the contents of the gun assed through the left eye of a boy named joran, twelve years old, and going clear through his head kiiled him instantly. Tne terrified Briggs at once threw down the gun and took to his heels, and he had not been captured up toa late hour last night. His parents reside in Rock lane, near Pull- sade avenue. A police officer hearing the shot ran up and met the crowd of boys running away, but Briggs had gone in another airection. The body of young Doran was taken to the residence of his parents in Palisade avenue, near Academy street, and the scenes that followed in that house may be easily imagined. Coroner Burns and Justice Reilly were notified, and Captain Pierce, of the Fourth precinct, sent detectives to New York, whither tt is believed young Briggs had fled. The boys who witnessed tie shoot- ing pronounced the affair accidental. The face of Doran was greatly burned with the powder, which proves that his head was in close proximity to the gun. THE INDIGNANT CEN: TAKERS. It was stated yesterdaygthat Marshal Sharpe haa received a number of further complaints from various parte of the city complaining of the inaccue rate manner in which the present census has peen taken, and stating that the omissions were the rule rather than the exception. The deputies and om- cers had requested him to convene a public meeting to refute these complaints, but he refused to do this; at the same time he gave the officers permission to hold a meeting among themselves if they thought It necessary. . It was therefore given out that a meeting was to | be held last evening at Mechanics’ Hall, in Third avenue, In order to give the officers an opportunity of expression their indignation at the course the un- grateful public had pursued, but for some unex- plained reason the meeting was not held at the hall according to the announcement, ‘The Census of Staten Is Ie ‘The census returns for Staten Island are as fol- 589 Sonthfeld 940 Westfield LONG BRANCH. ‘The Equinoctial Storm—How Stands the English Embassy—-What the President and ‘tate Department Think of Minister Wash- jewBecretary Kish and His Stay in the bor. ote b Cable, Long Brancn, Sept. 17, 1870, Few tami, uous storms of midwinter give to the ilder terceness, to the maddened «ch @ more thundering roar or more dashing fury over the northeaster beginning las® vith unabated violence, (as well as ime ocean Waves wm, breakers on the be fling the spray with bluff than does the sever night and still continuing’, A sight of rarely ymratet describabie beauty ‘was tno SW last even- ing, As tho waves broke @ Milliant sheen of phosphorescence it up their cfa ™ giving # splendor of glowing light in strange aud," ”' trast with the pall of almost impenetrable . “knee overshadowing sea and land.
