THE HEATED TERM, The City in a General Broil Yesterday. HOW THE PEOPLE BORE Ir. More Sunstrokes in the Streets and Moro Deaths from the Heat. ished wed on them, In the yard of Prison two pigeons ai dead from heat im the forenoon, and were found to be almost roasted. Remembering that yesterday was the hottest lat of July we have in ten years, the wonder is that the record of the suffering and the deachs caused by the heat is not larger. follor gives a list of the sunstruck in the city and suburbs, the names of whom have not been already published. SUNSTRUCK IN THE CITY. Mr. Hartlong died at Roosevelt hospital on Thurs- day night from sunstroke, Coroner was noti- Ninety-nine Degrees in | fed. the Shade. ‘The heated term still continues with unabated fiercencss, and the suffering city still continues to groan under the powerful pressure. Idly, indeed, @re the prophets occupied when they undertake to Measure the endurance and the immensity of the Goa of day, and still more funny are,the plaintive complainings of the malcontents when they snarl at the fry and wipe away atthe melting. It were as sensible to bay at the moon or to command the wea to cease advancing as to think of securing in- demnity from THE SOLAR SENTENCE ‘when the time has come for it. So, since there is mouse in “bucking against a stone wall,” the ‘wisest thing to be done is to get as much in the shade as possible, and neither hurt a head or make ‘warmer blood by nonsensical and unavailing splite- fulness. These words of sententious meaning are called for by the silly behavior of numbers of people who seem to think it is unreasonable that we should have hot weather, and that, forsooth, because they do not like to be inastate of perspiration, therefore the sun is acting in a manner to be de- spised. Itis,in the opinion of every philosopher, all for the best that nature should be unimpeded in her operations, andethat the celestial bodies especi- ally should in no way be interfered with by poor mundane intellects, and this opinion seems to have @reat force in it, At all events things had best be looked at just as they are. At three o’clock yesterday morning the ther- mOmneter stood at 80 degrees in the shade; at six o'clock 77 degrees; at nine o’clock at 86 degrees; ‘at noon at 95 degrees; at three o'clock P. M. at 99 degrees; at six o’clock P.M. at 94 degrees; an hour later at 96 degrees, and at nine o'clock at 87 degrees. Take it all in all that wasn’t very bad. It was rather generous of the lumi- mary to “let up” a little at six o'clock in the morning, this being a kindness especially in- tended, no doubt, to the working classes, to give them a little bit of courage and allow them to eat their breakfast. The lazy louts, male and female, who loaf in bed at ordinary times until nine or ten o'clock must have had a precious time of it yesterday morning, and all right-minded people would be sorry, of course, to learn that the 7 were troublesome or the mosquitoes hungry. bilthe stores the bosses spent the day in looking out into the streets, seemingly thinking of nothing, but really thinking thoughts that could mot be expressed in public without losing caste among religious acquaintances. The clerks and assistants were, in regard to their judgment on the weather, “SIX OF ONE AND HALF 4 DOZEN OF ANOTHER;” for on very hot days there is very little business done; and they think, no doubt, that it isa bit of genuine aristocracy to abandon themselves, the boss being powerless, to loafing. As for the lady clerks in the stores, the sweet creatures, they look many times more in- teresting on a roasting day than on any other; for, firstly, they can’t help laughing; secondly, there is an ad libitum game of verlasting” played with conversation cards; thirdly, t they do all sorts of things to their gew-gaws and improvise so many methods of keeping them- selves cool that it is a study to look on and be enlightened. In the city cars and the ‘buses’? there was the usual amount of desperate resolution to get cool. It is not such an easy matter to reduce one’s self in a short time from 150 degrees Faliren- heit to about seventy degrees; it requires pretty scientific application of A POCKET HANDKERCHIEF AND A MIND of no ordinary determination for continuous ex- ertion to do the wiping and the flapping necessary for the opcasion. In the case of men the difticulty is ben ar lessened by the exposure of the breast to the fellow mickey; male and female, in the car, and by a good resolute drying afterward of the breast, neck “and = aroun the shoulders, Ladies, #0 far as has been observed, act on the principle of “let her rip,” and fight it out with the use of a fan, and the grim satis- faction of knowing that they can endure it better than masculinity. But leaving that question so, another is here suggested, and it is as to whether or not very fat people of either sex ought to be allowed to travel at all on very hot days. Any one unfortunate enough to be obliged to look at A VERY FAT WOMAN OR A VERY FAT MAN, in a car on a hot day, and who suffers from nervous , Will readily appreciate this point. The ferocity, tiger-like anxiety, disdainful independence with which the eyes of these people dart looks upon the poor mild people, their feliow travellers, can only be explained by the horrible suspicion that they are all the time under a dreadful apprehension that you are going to laugh at them. And never ‘Was suspicion more unfounded. Really, for the most part the audience on such occasions as these is composed of a few poor LACKADAISICAL SPECIMENS OF HUMANITY, whose shirts are stuck to their backs, whose panta- Toons are glued to their legs, and who are so thor- oughly disgusted with heaven and earth as not to care one iota whether the fat people burst or not. In the lager beer saloons tiere is some evidence of comfort and a proper appreciation of the true state of affairs. er and weiss, as ev- erybody knows, are deliciously cooling beverages, and to tell the truth our German fellow citizens know how to get in the air if there is any possi- bility to do so, or if there is any air outside to come in. “Pat our German fellow citizens of the gentier Bex are sometimes addicted to what French women, no doubt from the purest spite, have christened embonpoint, and these g ladies are really an enigma to the philosophic mind. Consider the subject how hes will, difficulties beset ‘ou on every hend, ‘There the lady is at he further table; a handsome faced, but awfully fat lady; she takes her lager ein for ein ‘with her male acquaintances; she has her couple ot words in for every masculine one, and she is just as cool as a cucumber all the time; she can trip up to the bar with the agility of a girl of sixteen, and she looks as Lagat at you as if you were not wae all over; tell her that it is very hot and she will tell you that that lager is ice-cold, Such con- ee to the feelings on a hot day. mt A FAT DUTCHMAN is rather a different animal. He is as lazy asa uge porpus iattened up for killing, and his ab- dominal embellishment is never disturbed for anybody or for any purpose except in its own behoof. This gentleman, on #1 a day as teen nt is provocative of anger, and it is dificult for a man in a state of much per- ee to refrain from jolting him, just to make mad, On the ferries everything was Properly lovely, the cool breeze, ‘es up the river, affording an ex- quisite Telief to the poor — sun-broiled destrian. Many people during the day snatched alfan hour from their business and took a ride, like schoolboys, for the fun of getting the air. The getting of the air these days, though, is a very cumbersome operation, requiring DODGING CAPABILITIES of no mean order, and an amount of common sense mingled with experience not often found separate. But the most extraordinary sights yesterday were to be seen, of course, along the streets, where poor humanity was rising in blisters and red spots, and foaming with perspiration against the cruel sun, There might be seen men tottering from the continn- ous exhaustion of their bodies, strong men in mind and purpose, while little “hop o’ your thumbs” of fellows, whose presence is not big enough for notice pees! they were right straight before you, consti- tuted themselves “cock of the walk,” and were as frisky as fancy terriers trying to bark. Popderous ladies (not from the lager beer gardens) walked along the burning sidewalks evidently in deep misery On account of the heat, compelled at times to seek @ temporary percge in some soda-water fountain. Younger ladies, to tell the trath, did not im the least seem to be mad about the broil; for, fixed up, as they are, in all THE TOGGERY OF THE SEASON, vanity suggests to them more of attraction, and, though they were never more mistaken in all their lives, they think the men are looking at them, while in reality the poor fellows are supremely occupied with their foreheads and their pockey hand jer- b> hag aed Must not be, so far as a judgment coming can formed hurriedly, so easy @ matter for religious people to put on sanctimo- nious ages. There are men who have ‘ood the recent heated term bravely for several days past, but who yesterday afternoon began to Weaken, and, strange to say, most of these men looked as if they had been in religion for a number of years past’, whereas, beyond a doubt, they had been, at least untit the exhaustion set in, some of sl 's Most devoted adherents. But the heat literally PUL A FACE ON THEM AND VIXED THRIR RYRBALLS im such @ position that no camp meeting ever coy Curran who, suffering from the heat, drank too much ice water, died on Thu from the effects.

Commencement Exercises — Distribution of Premiums, EMMETTSBURG, Md., June 27, 1872. The commencement exercises to-day at St. Jo- seph’s Academy were unusually brilliant and in- teresting. The main hall was beautifully decorated and fitted up for the occasion, and a very large as- semblage of ladies and gentlemen from all parts of the country did honor to the institute by their presence, The exercises commenced with a grand march played by some of the pupils on two pianos and th harps, to the measures of which the other young ladies, dressed in white, with blue trimmings, entered the hall, They were 150 in num- ber, and formed a charming spectacle when they took thei seats, Rev. Father Burlando, the prin- cipal director of the Academy, welcomed the young ladies in an appropriate speech, and Rev. Father Waterman presented the premiums, Those who were entitied to honors for amiable deportment and attention to the rules received crowns, some of pure white flowers, others of red and white flowers, and the rest white tinged with pink. Next followed the “Coronation Ode” by Diel- man, which was sung by twenty-five ladies, with piano accompaniment. Gold medals and crowns were then conferred on those worthy of them, and some deautiful selections in vocal and instrumental music were artistically rendered, Among the oung ladies who specially distinguished themselves in all the branches were Miss Mary V. Robinson, of Brooklyn, daughter of ex-Congressman W. E, Robinson; Miss Mary Bayne, of New Orleans; Miss Virginia Duval, Miss Alice Feeney and Misa A. P. Jaeger, of Baltimore ; Miss ©. Baker, of St. Mary's, La., and Miss M. Wentz, of Lancaster, Pa. 9 Robinson won the hearts of all present by her ex. quisite playing on the piano and the harp and by a touching farewell to St. Joseph's, written by her, Every one present was delighted with the exer- cises and the remarkable talents dianJaved by many of the young ladica, ‘ORK THE GREELEY HEADQUARTERS. —_-+--_—_. Farmer Greeley ‘Selli: e Nigger’— Catching ao Street Car—Business at the @lenham. Farmer Greeley was observed in the counting room of the Tribune yesterday for the first time since his withdrawal. He had a bundle of papers under hisarm and wore the traditional white felt hat, with a black alpaca coat, white vest" and white pants. He was im close conversa tion with the business men of the 7rivune, and as during his recent weeks of idiencss his salary on the Trioune has, of course, been stopped, and no in- come worth mentioning has been received this summer from his farm, it is surmised that he was “gelling @ nigger” to meet current family expenses and to furnish pocket money for his Boston jaunt. “Selling a nigger” is an ancient expression of Mr, Greeley’s, by which he designates the disposal of @ share in the Tribune. Otherwise, the dethroned editor had no business with the mana- gers or editors of the concern, and on leaving the Office, absent-mindedly picked up a Tribune at the counter and laid down four cents to pay for it, The boy swept it into the box, asa matter of course, and the Philosopher stalked out of the Spruce street door, He took a Fourth avenue car to Twenty-first street, and spent the afternoon in the rooms of the Lincoln’ Club, Here he was visited by Henry W._ Hilliard, of Georgia; Colonel James M. Slocum, of New Jersey, and other gentlemen of note. At about tive o'clock he left the club and started for Fourth avenue. The people along the square pecped through the window blinds to see the gigantic form stalk along, Before he reached the corner @ Fourth avenue car pees the street at arapid pace going southward. © Presidential expectant threw up his hands, hailed the conductor, and then started in an ele- phantine trot along Twenty-first street for the car, his short alpaca coat fluttering out behind, and the broad brim of his white hat flapping up and down about his ears. The people craned their necks in wild excitement to sce this feat, and the passengers in the car leaned over the platforms and out the windows to see him come in at the homestretch, He: is roughly estimated to have made the half square in three-quarters of a minute, not so good a8 Jo. Eliiott’s time by some seconds, but a remarkable performance for a gen- tleman of sixty-one, even when he is in such spien- did condition as Mr. Greeley is always in. The con- ductor congratulated him on his feetness and said “He hoped he’d always ran as well,”’ Mr. Greeley crossed Fulton ferry to Brooklyn, where he passed the night. He will leave on ihe Fall River boat this afternoon for Poston. At the Glenham Hotel headquarters Colonel Allen and that most gentlemanly of all the headquarter Secretaries, Major Staples, conducted affairs as usual, A iarge number of distingnished visitors called, among them George N, Sanders, James M. Scovel, Henry W. Hilliard, of Georgia; Colonel Thomas M. Dowling, of ‘Terre Haute, ind. (Dan Voorhees’ district), a delegate to the Baltimore Convention; Hon. J, L. Lyford, of Maine; Colonel J. K. Clinton, of Mississippi; Colonel ©. Snead and W. L, Goldsmith, of Georgia; General Kilpatrick, Louis M. Coates, General W. H. Sellers and William Brady, of Texas. General Sellers is a delegate to Baltimore, and claims that his State will give 30,000 for Greeley sure. Colonel Snead, of Georgia, thinks Toombs’ speeches are doing Grecley great good in his State. One hundred dollars were paid out at the Glenham headquarters alone on Saturday and Monday, for stamps to pay postage on their electioucering documents. A GERMAN PRONUNCIAMENTO FOR GREELEY, At a meeting of prominent German democrats and republicans the following resolutions were una- nimously adopted. Commissioner Magnus Gross acted as Chairman, and the following committce was appointed to carry into effect the resolutions— Judge J. Koch, Alderman Edward Schlichting, Coro- ner Herrman, Dr. Hewel, Dr, Anders, Dr. Frankel, Mr, Wollny, of the New York Journal, end the Chairman, Another meeting will be called for Fri- day to receive the signatures and appoiut the dele- gation to Baltimore: | citizens Whereas at a conte | from ed Cte th pare Jors of a hotel in this cit few men, without any authorit to spenk "as representatives of i and were reported to have given expression Lo sentiments utterly at variance with the opinions held by the under- signed and thousands upon thousands of their country- men in this city and all over the Unicn; an unfounded statements then and there made are threate to be urged upon the National Democrate Convention at Baltimore as the sentiments entertained by German yoters on the question of choositg candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States; theretore be it Resolved, That in our opinion the ticket chosen by Cincinnati Conyention is a guaranty to peace, to a union of hearts as well as ot hands, and to’ honesty, economy, prosper (f and progress in the administration of our national affairs. Resolved, That we are firmly convinced that the nomi- nation of Horace Greeley and Gratz B. Brown by the Baltimore Convention will be enthusiastically received and heartily supported by a vast majority of the German- Americans, without regard to their former associations, for the simple reason, that in the present state of the country and parties no more fitting and satisfactory nomi- nation could be made. Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions, together with the signatures attached to them, be handed by a special delegution of German-American'eitizens to the chairman of the New York delegation to the Baltuumore Convention. THE LABOR CANDIDATES, Jocl Parker Declines the Nomination of Vice President Tendered by the Colum- bus Convention. TUESDAY, Boston, July 1, 1872. The labor party has decided on a conference at the Germania Hall Assembly Rooms, in New York, Governor Parker having declined their nomina- tions. Governor Parker writes as follows :— Frernorp, N, J., June 28, 1972, To, Enwix M. Onamneriin, President of the Columbus Convention, Boston, Ma: Str—Your letter informing me that the Convention of the National Labor Reform Party. which met at. Colum. bus on the 22d day of February last, placed me in nom- ination for the office of Vice sident of the United States, has been received. I feel honored by the thus expressed byt sentatives large and Influential my fellow citizens, I am in favor of all legal and just measures that tend to improve the condition of the work- ingmen. I have always been a member of the dem- geratle party. For nearly | thirty-five years I) have shared its triumphs and deicats, adhering to its fortunes because I considered its success essential to good government and to the elevation of the laboring classes. Having been placed in important pub- lic positions, as the nominee of that party, I am bound honor as well as by inclination to stand by its organiza- tion and abide by the decision of its National Convention. To be the candidate of one party while supporting the nominees of another (although the two may agree sub- stantially in prine!ple) would be inconsistent, and T therefore respectfully decline the nomination tendered me by the Convention yourepresent. JOEL PARKER, MISCELLANEOUS CAMPAIGN NOTES, The Detroit Free Press (democratic) continues to denounce Greeley. How it will be after next Mon- day of course remains to be seen. The Wisconsin Democrat says if the “democrats make a straight nomination at Baltimore, Greeley won't get votes enough to compliment a fish ped- | dlar.”’ The Detroit Free Press (antl-Greeley democrat) | says thé Greeley democratic organs, alarmed at the threatened popular uprising of the negroes against “Greeley, declare that itis too late—that the action of the Baltimore Convention is already irrevocably fixed, and withit the nomination of Horace Greeley. A “Patron” of the Mobile (Ala.) Trivune writes to that paper as follows:— I see from your editorial comments and extracts that you favor the election of that old sinuer, Greeley, for President. Well, General, I cond sorter stand Bobtall, Belzebub, the Devil, Grant, Ben | Butler, but I can’t stand that old negro equality Greeley, neither can I stand a Southern man or his paper that endorses him under any circumstances. PRISON REFORM, New York, July 1, 1872. To The Eprror of THE HeraLy:— Your well-timed article on prisons in to-day’s pa- per I read with great interest, and it has confirmed an idea that has long existed in my mind—viz., that imprisonment is a wrong mode of punishment, in- ferior even to the old Jewish method, “aneye for an eye and a tooth fora tooth.” The question that naturally presents itself, then, is: ‘What are you going to do about it,” or in what way can crime be prevented and the community rid of criminals? Answer :—Banish the criminals to some far-distant on Tuesday forenoon, July 30, Judge Davis and | | at the St. James JULY 2, 1872.—TRIPLE Remarkable Discoveries by the Norwe- gian Explorers, Smyth and Ulve. From the reports of various Norwegian, Swedish and other Arctie voyages, recently pubtished in Germany by Dr. Petermann, and soon to be repub- lished by the Hydrographic OMce at Washington, we give the following interesting items :— The expedition, undertaken by an English gentle- man, Mr. Leigh Smyth, and commanded by the well- known Norwegian seaman, Captain Ulve, left Tromso about the same time with that of Messrs, Payer and Weyprecht, of which the public has already heard. After a quick passage the latitude of the South Cape of Spitzbergen was made on the 6th of July. The highest temperature of the surface of the sea—44 degrees Fahrenheit—was observed in latitude 74 north, and the water was consldera- bly above the freezing point beyond the north- Western extremity of Spttzbergen, ranging from 44 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Throughout this time fogs prevailed, and the temperature of the air was found to be generally one degree lower than that of the water, There was no ice scen from July 1 (when south of Bear Island) to the 14th, when the vessel had reached within two miles of Amsterdam Isiand. Now, however, it lay to the west, east and north as far as could be seen from the top of the highest mountain of that island, with the exception of a small strip of navigable water along the coast through which the vessel penetrated, from the 17th to the 25th of July, with short interruptions, to Shoal Point (latitude 80 17 north, longitude 17 40 east), when thicker ice compelled her to enter Sorge Bay. The temperature of the air along the north coast of Spitzbergen, from the 27th fo the 28th of July, had been, with prevailing easterly winds, in the mean 36 deg. 9 min., and that of the surface of the sea 34. deg. 3 min. In Sorge bay, with calm weather and sunshine, the temperature of the air rose on the 20th and goth to 65 deg., the mean of the two days being 50 deg., while that of the sea remained at 37 deg., thus illustrating the power of isolation in bays and near the land, On the 16th of July, in Kobbe Bay, the temperature of the air had risen to 47 deg. In the Hinlopen Strait, into which the ves- sel proceeded southward on the 3ist ot July, both the temperature of alr and sea fell to 32deg. In Lomme Bay, where she lay at anchor on the Ist and 2d of August, the air showed in the mean 42 deg. 8 min., the water 89 deg. 2 min., the bay being, like Sorge bay, entirely free from ice. Here one of the glass balls was found which is used in the Norway fisheries, proving that the Gulf Stream, following the north coast of Spitzbergen, extends also into Lomme Bay. Captain Ulve pene- trated in this region four degrees further east than the Swedish expedition of 1864, and further than any other explorer, At their easternmost point (latitude 80 deg. 27 min, north, longitude 27 deg. 25 min. east) there was, on September 6, “open water before them, to the eastward and south- ward, as far as they could see,” and that there must have been also considerable open water beyond their horizon, to the southeast, would appear from the abundant rain, with southeasterly winds, experienced during the following two days, the 6th and 7th of September, That easternmost point of Smyth and Ulve is dis- tant less than two hundred miles, or only about a day's run of a good steam vessel, from the north- ernmost point reached by Weyprecht and Payer only five days previous, on the 1st of September, It is of especial interest as regards the solution of the Polar question, that the navigability of this part of the Arctic Qcean, proven by the latter to latitude 78% deg. north, was thus shown by Smyth and Ulve to extend two degrees higher north and a little farther to the westward, nearly three degrees, to 81 deg, 24 min., north, The results of Captain Ul firm those of Payer and We light on the probable suce in the summer of $72, of their second North Polar expedition, Some have ventured the opimon that the sea ex- plored by Weyprecht and Payer was ouly acciden- tally or for the time open and free from ice, the tirm border having receded somewhat to the north or melted off; but in the above statements we have the proof that there is no permanent ice even in latitude 803, north, in the very throat of the Polar current, on a coast against which all the year the icy masses of the Central Polar Basin press. It might be said that these observations are only for two years, 1864 and 1571, but for the latter we have more observations than for any previous year from the beginning of explorations In the Arctic. There was no firm, impenetrable ice off Eastern Green, land, none aroand Spitzbergen, in the Nova Zem- bla sea, around Nova Zembia and tn the Kara Sea; and even as far in the Siberian Arctic Sea as longi- tude 823, east, no indication of ice was encoun- tered by Mack. Ulve and Smyth met loose driftice in the very Polar Stream north of Spitzbergen, not lower than latitude 81 deg. 24 min. north, on the lith of Sep- tember. All the ice, against which they had to bat- tle some weeks before, on the parallel of latitude 79 deg. 60 min. north, extending then as far as the eye reached, had compietely disappeared, and at that highest point the temperature of the’ air was 82 deg., and of the sea it was 36 deg., while Kane observed at Kensselaer Harbor (tis winter quar- ters), in latitude 78 deg. 37 min. north, nearly three degrees more south, amean daily temperature on September 11, 1853, of 16.7 deg. (highest 19.8 deg., lowest 14.2 deg.), and on. September 11, 1864, re- spectively 10.4 deg., 19.0 deg. and 2.3 deg. These results are additionally strengthened by re- orts from several British whalers which have een forwarded to Dr. Petermann and also trans- lated by Mr. E. R. Knorr for the Hydrographic Onice, Among these are the reports of Mr, James Lamont, in the steam yacnt Diana; Captain Christian Johan- nesen, in the yacht Lydianna; Captain Soren Johan- nesen, in the yacht Cecilia; Captain Tobiesen, yacht Freya; Rosential’s expedition in the steamer Ger- mania, and lastly Captain T, Torkildsen, in the yacht Elida, THE PAVING ‘8 explorations con- CONTRA The Regular Meeting of the Commis- sionersRemarks from Mayor Hall. Commissioners Josiah Sutherland, Hooper C. Van Vorst and D, R. Jaques met last evening at the St. James Hotel, for the purpose of continuing the ex; amination into facts and circumstances relating to the award of city contracts for paving, regulating, &c. Mr, Strahan was present on behalf of the Comptroller. Mayor Hall also appeared and stated that he appeared with the intention of requesting the Commissioners to adjourn the in- vestigation of the Bryan claim for the Stow Foun- dation Pavement until some day when Mr. John Bryan could bé produced, as he (the Mayor) would like to cross-examine Mr. Bryan, with a view to proving a most distinct fraud. I prefer this request so that the Commissioners may order the produc- tion of Mr. Bryan for examination, Judge Sutherland said that he did not think the Commission had any power to compel Mr. Bryan to come forward for examination. Mr. Bryan was represented by counsel, who de- clared they did not know where their client was; but another gentieman stated he was in the West. Mr. Strahan, however, thought diferent, and told Bryan's counsel that he would furnish him with the address of his client to-morrow morning, and that he was not far distant, at a Jersey watering place. The Commissioners then set the examination of this case for Tuesday, July 9, in the room of the Board of Aldermen, at four P. M. During the evening the Commissioners passed favorably on the following contracts:—Lutz & Mo- Kim, sewer, Fourth avenue, 109th to 115th street; Lutz & McKim, sewer, Sixtieth and Sixty-sixth streets, avenue A to Third avenue; Charles Deviin, regulating, &t., Seventy-tourth street, Third avenue to avenue A; Charles Devlin, regulating, &c., Fil- tieth street, Fourth to Fifth avenue; Charles Dev- lin, regulating, &c., Seventy-fourth street, First avenue to avenue A; Charles Devlin, paving Broome street, Hudson street to Broadway, and Charles Devlin, paving Ludlow street, Canal to Houston street. Several other contracts were laid over until the next meeting of the Commissioners, which will be held next hate at half-past seven P. M., jotel. TROTTING AT FLEETWOOD PARK, There was a great deal of trotting at Fleetwood Park yesterday afternoon, but of the four events that took place, none of them were worthy of ex- prescribed locality, never again to return to the stage of his former operations; or banish him for a certain length of time in proportion to the enormity of his crime, And now as to the advantages which this system possesses over the prison system. Any one who has been unsuccessful or unhappy in another country knows by experience that there is | nothing that infuses new life, new ideas, new ener. | “gies into the mind like a change of country; and to | prove that this system works a reform in the crimi- | nal, Which the prison system does not, itis only necessary to point to the high state of civilization attained by the inhabitants of Australia, Van Die- man’s Land, and, to tell the truth (even if it does sound harsh to the ears of some of the F. F. V.'s), Virginia and Louisiana, all of which at one time were penal settlements, There is another and more potent method yet, (although that relates to the future generation more than tothe immediate present), and that is, education, The question, then, may be summed up as follows :—Spend half of the money now spent on prisons, , in educating the people, and spend the other half in sending the erring ones to some far- distant country where they may forget and be for- gotten, and where the temptation to sin will be re- moved, a8 well as the induence of evil compan & tended record. The first was a sweepstakes for $750, between three horses, in harness, mile heats, best three in five. Dunn Walton entered bay geld- ing Kansas Chief, W. Cameron roan mare Tony and Pierce Harding bay gelding General Harding. Kansas Chief wasa great favorite over the fleld. He won the race quite easily, Tony second and General Harding thlrd.

Bay Billy distanced Buskin the first heat, but the driver of the former violated the rules by going away from the stand and dismounting without perinission, and was aiso gest and the race was a draw.

The former went tn har- ness and the latter to wagon, Join Case distanced Betsey King in the first heat. Time, 2:44 ‘The fourth race was a tame affair. A gray mare Was brought out to beat 2:42, but after two trials, each were up in the fifties, she retired @ loser, without the third attempt which she was entith to, Summarfes of such wings are superfluous, recht and throw much | THE CAUCASUS. Tho Progress of General Sherman’s Party in Russia. From Kutais to Tiflis—A Scamper with Irregular Troops—Travel in the Cancasian Mountains— Over the Hills and Down the Valleys—The Valley of the Kur—A Beautiful Land— Scenes on the Way—A Caucasian Supper and a Saft Resting Place .of Hay—Again on the March, P TrrLis, May 13, 1972, We left Kutais early in the morning by a special train the Governor had provided, which carried us on our way as far as the road wag finished, and even further, as it turned out, Mr. Curtin’s part of the company had decided to remain behind, as there were not carriages for aly of us, and although I would have given anything to spend a day in the interesting old town, and although I was probably the only one of the party who wished to stay behind, they decided that I should go torward with the main part of the company, and I had to submit. We were accompanied from the town to the station, a distance of about four miles, by the Governor, Count Leavachoff, who, early as the hour Was, came, nevertheless, to see that everything was in readiness for our departure. We were escorted by @ company of irregular troops, who ran along nearly the whole distance beside our car- riages, keeping pace with us, although our horses went at a round trot. They were rather & dirty, disorderly troop, viewed in the light of soldiers, but strong, tall, athletic, intelligent-looking fellows, who would be invaluable as skirmishers and scouts. They wore an irregular sort of blue uniform, which showed a good many buttons, a red scarf on the head, worn in the shape of a turban, and each, in addition to his musket jur- nished him by the government, carried whatever other arm or arms his fancy dictated. We must have presented alively and animated appearance as we went rolling along the road in a cloud of dust, accompanied by these fellows, who went flit- ting through the woods to our right and left like skirmishers, their red turbans gleaming here and there through the green leaves like trop” feal birds, avoiding the curves and cutting off the corners in order to keep up with us, and arriving at the station almost in the same moment with ourselves, General Sherman inspected them here, and found, to his surprise, that some of them had very fine and richly mounted side arms. More than one we found had pistols beautifully mounted in gold, curiously wrought daggers and fine old Persian blades, that had probably been handed down from father to son for generations. The taste for luxury in arms has not yet died out in this half- civilized country, as it has in other parts of Europe, A NEW DEPARTURE, We took leave of the Governor here, and, getting in the train, were soon in the beautiful little valley by which the railroad finds its way to the summit. of the coast range. After about two hours’ ride we came to a halt, and found upon getting out that they had brought us to the very end of the road, as far as finished, for right before us was a shor tun- nel upon which they were still hard at work, Walking around this tunnel we found a locemotive awaiting us on the other side, to which was attached a single — plat- form car, without sides, or siats or anything but a bare fioor, W ‘ambled upon it, however, used our trunks and curpet-bags for seats, and held’on to cach other to keep from being jolted off, for the road here was none of the smoothest, 4 our engineer not being trammelied by railway egulations, and probably understanding that Americans lixe fast travelling (it 1s a popular belief all over Enrope that American trains go at the rate of a hundred miles an hour), thought he would show us what he could do, and went dashing on around short curves and turnings at a frightful rate of speed, and twice narrowly escaped running into a herd of cattle, which would have been an exceed- ingly unpleasant occurrence, It was nevertheless A DELIGHTFUL RIDE. The little valley goes winding about among the green, woody mountains, rising higher and higher, disclosing new scenes of beauty at every turn, and the purpie flowers of the laurel or wild’ rhododen- druin, with which the sides of the mountains were in many places covered seemingly for mfles; the fragrance that filled the air, the glimp: we caught of other little valleys and secluded dells, the many little mivulets tumbling down the mountains’ sides, breaking up into sparkling cascades and waterfalis and rushing away to the river below; the clear, transparent atmosphere, the bright spring sunshine, the limpid blue sky, seen from between the giant masses of green verdure reaching so high they seemed to touch it, might almost have made us believe we had fallen on the site of the garden of Eden, which, in- deed, was probably not very tar from here. A BEAUTIFUL, FANCIFUL, FAIRY-LIKE COUNTRY, this Caucasus, and it is no wonder the women are 80 beautiful. They could not, surrounded by such scenes as these, be otherwise. In about an hour more we arrived at the end of this piece of road, where the carriages sent from Tiflis were awaiting us. We descended from our platform, and before petting into the carriages proceeded to the ex- amination and _ discussion of the contents of a basket of provisions we had ordered the landlord of the hotel in Kutais to prepare for us. Prince Dalgoruky, who still accompanied us, did the honors, and, drawing forth some cold chicken, cold roast beef, some ham, a couple of bottles of Crimean wine, as well as of pale ale, he spread them out on @ bench in-the open air and in- vited us to partake, setting the example himself by seizing aleg of cold chicken, an example the rest of us were not slow to follow. The repast taken thus in the open air in the beautiful little valley proved to be an excellent one, and we only wondered that our host at Kutais, who kept such @ miserable hotel, should have been able to prepare s0 good alunch, It was not his fault, perhaps, for even crow would probably have tasted good under the circumstances. UP THE VALLEY. Taking leave here of Count Tiesenhausen, our kind conductor, we got into our carriages and were soon off, rolling up the valley at a swinging gallop, six horses in one vehicle, four in the other, and the baggage bringing up the rear. We continued as- cending, following the course of the valley and stream winding around the mountains, crossing narrow gorges and dells, through which other streams went tumbling and dashing, as if in a hurry to reach the sea on important busi- ness, now pressing beneath the frowning ruins of some old castie or fortress that no longer than twenty years ago was @ robber stronghold, now looking down on some shattered old water mill whose silent wheel gave forth no musical murmur, finding at every turn something to remind us of the strange, romantic country in which we were, Now It was a Caravan of camels camped on some level spot, the quiet, patient, ugly creatures brows- ing among the shrabs and brushwood or lying down dreamily chewing thelr cud, their drivers, men, women and cluldren, asleep in the sunshine, and how often did we meet a group forcibly remind- ing us of the flight into Egypt—a woman mounted on a donkey or a horse, with a child in her arms and a man oe at the animal’s head with the bridle in his hand, The women ride astride, however, just like the men, and they would probably be as much puzzled as to the uses of @ “side saddle” as a Comanche Indian, ON THE SUMMIT—THE DESCENT. We reached Suram, the summit of the range, about the middle of tne afternoon, where we changed horses, and then commenced descending on the other side into the valley of the Kur, on which river is situated the ancient town of Tiflis, We reached the plain long before sunset, and continued our way in the direction of Gort, where the General proposed passing the night. We soon found ourselves in a rolling, undulating, but apparently almost barren, uninhabited country, which seemed to have long been parched by burn- ing suns and never moistened by the genial rain—a rather cu: ious cireumstance, so near the mountains. 1 do not know, however, whether this was an ex- ceptional period of dry’ weather, or whether it is the ordinary state of the climate, A STORM ON THE MOUNTAIN, The country here certainly presented a most cnri- ous appearance. Right before us lay, white and | beautiful, reflecting the warm evening sun that was | sinking low, the snowy Caucasian Mountains that | we had first seen while stillon the Black Sea; be- hind and to the right, extending to the distant horl- zon, the mountains we had just crossed, around whose heads dark storm clouds that had been gathering all day, suddenly burst in a violent tem- | pest of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, raging and storming there, high above us, but not sending down one pitying drop on the hot, parched plain below, that seemed hotter and redder by the con- trast nd a rainbow, full, distinct and round, a perfect semicircle, touching the earth at both ex- tremities, suddenly presented itself to our de- lighted eyes, like a beautiful mirror, It appeared 80 suddenly—it was so perfect and beautiful, each and every color so bright and clearly defined, as it swept over the 4 in a grand and noble aro—that we gazed on it with astonishment and delight, re- membering it was near here that Nov’s wonder- stricken eyes first beheld the syinbol of peace, the token that the world should be drowned no more. And we thought it no wonder that here in this strange and dreamy, fairy-like country, where the rainbow first appeared to mortal eyes, it should be more beautiful than anywhere else in the world. It disappeared almost as suddenly as it came, the sun } eink behind the mountains and leaving us » Gort, or the post station, rather. However, when we ar rived, about ten o'clock at night, and found that the town was about two miles distant, to be reached only by a very bad road, and that very probably we should find no hotel there did we succeed in find- ing the place, we therelore determined to stay at the station where we were, and Prince Dalgoruky set about seeing what could be procured in the way of supper. He found, after an tmmense deal of dis- cussion, that soup was to be had for three persona, beefstenks for four, and eggs to an unlimited ex- tent, all of which he ordered to be got ready in tho shortest possible time, A CAUCASIAN SUPPER. Tt was an hour befure we sat down to the talle, however, for the beefsteaks had to be cooked one ata time, probably, the cooking arrangements being on a very small le, and as we had eaten nothit since our lunch in the valley on the other side the mountains early in the day, our stomachs grown exceedingly importunate before we @ condition to satisfy their claims, and tt was with voracious appetites that we gathered around that festive board awaiting the appearance of the good things the Prince had promised us. They came at last, and we equally the three portions of soup and th beefsteaks, which were excellent, the only objec. tion to them being that th sinall, and afterwards ordered puree, which was eggs, a8 was likewis® the fourth, (fth, sixth and seventh, Most of the party stopped at the sixth, but Grant went bravely on to the geyenth, then to the cightd, and concluded the repast by @ meditative excursion into the ninth, which he called dessert, and which likewise composed of eggs, havin, am confident, a dozen and a half if he ate one, much to the disgust of Colonel Audenried, who, being somewhat “high-toned,” looked upon the whole as with a contemptuous smile, which he did not try to conceal, Candor compels me to state, howe that one other member of the party, whom me forbids me to mention, almost equalled “ this epicurean feat, and that they both ti object of munch stinging sarcasm and many fine- pointed witticisms on the part of the rest of the company, which they bore with becoming equanim~- ity, not allowing it, as far as I could observe, to materially aifect their appetites. A NIGHT IN THE HAY, It was midnight when we had finished supper, and as we were pretty tired from having been con- tinualty in motion since four o'clock in the morn- ing, the question of getting the utmost possible amount of sleep to be obtained in four hours—the time allotted to us by the General—became an absorbing one. Prince Dalgoruky ordered a quan- tity of hay to be brought into the waiting room, where we had supped, upon which we threw ou selves indiscriminately, without the slightest ard to rank, none seeming to enjoy the situation etter than General Sherman himself, probably be- cause it reminded him of some of his campaigns. AT FOUR O°CLOCK IN THE MORNING. We were up at four o’clock, ail having slept re- makably well, except Grant, who said the snoring of Colonel Audenried had kept him awake all night. “it was rather the dozen and a half of eggs you ato that kept you awake,” retorted the Colonel, with humor. “No, Colonel, eggs never snore,” replied Fred, with benevolent and exasperating sinile, his principal shield against the Colonel's venomous shaits of trony or sarcasin, as against the other evils to which flesh is heir to in this vale of tears. ‘Fred’ never loses his tem- per, and this calm, imperturbable good nature will always insure him friends wherever he may be. We were soon en route seein, in the same order as before. Our road lay through a dry, arid, barren- looking country, somewhat broken and uneven, and showing very few signs of cultivation or habi- tation, except such a8 might be observed at ost stations, or inferred from an occasional lean- jooking shepherd boy here and there, tending equally lean-looking sheep, that must have been exceedingly sharp-sighted if they ever found any- thing green upon which to feed, There was scarcely @ tree visible in any direction, and the few we saw were stunted and dwarfed and drooping as though pining away and repenting of ever having emigrated to this inhospitable country. There were rocks and stones in plenty, however, and as we approached the river high bluffs and cliffs, still bare of trees or verdure, the faces of which were often honeycombed with holes, which ages ago served first as dwellings and then as graves to the wild people who inhabited them. How they ever got into their houses without the use of wings; cut out, as they appeared to be, in the face of the solid rock, sometimes two or three hun- dred feet above the plain, is a problem I did not put myself to the trouble of solving. ‘he country preserved these characteristics until we reached Tiflis, which is situated on the Kur and surrounded by high, sandy, arid hills, unrelieved by one green tree or scarcely a sign of vegeta- tion, We had an excellent road the last Sane and giving a little of the ‘‘backsheesh” to our rivers, they drove the whole distance at a mad gallop, making the whole fifteen miles in Just an hour anc gating into Tidis about noon the day after leaving uta! THE WARLIKE INDIANS. The Red Skins Congregating on the ‘Washita—Colonel Davidson’s Report to the Department of the Interior—Serious Troubles Threatencd by the Kiowas— The Precautions Necessary to Prevent Open Hostilities. WASMINGTON, July 1, 1872. By reference through the War Department infor- mation was received by the Secretary of the Inte- rior to-day from Lieutenant Colonel Davidson, dated Camp Supply, June 3, to the effect that the main camp of the Cheyennes was, at that date, on the Washita, about eighty miles from Camp Sup- ply, and that, with them, were 200 Kiowas, who intended to depredate along the road from Camp Supply to the Arkansas. Colonel David- son adds :— This comes from the camps of the Arrapahoes and detached camps of the COheyennes, as my scouts did not dare to go near the Kiowa camps. Little Raven, of the Arrapahoes‘ sent my scouts in with an escort from his band, as he did not think it safe for them without it. The main camp of the Arrapahoes is now moving down North Fork to Red Hills, s0as to be near their agency and keep out of the troubles. I believe the Chey- ennes, or a large part of them, will now join the Kiowas. I shall hold my troops and detachments strictly on the defensive until I get other orders from the General. I shall constantly patrol the road from here to Fort Dodge, looking out for the safety of all trains. I respectfully re- quest that the general order with regard to the concentration and arming of all trains coming into the Indian country be repealed, as it seems to have become a dead letter. Ialso suggest, in view of what I anticipate on the part of the Kiowas and Cheyennes, that a telegraph be run from Fort Hays to Fort Dodge. This communication is endorsed by Major General Pope, under date of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, June 12, as follows :— Respectfully forwarded to the Assistant Adjutant General of the Military Division of the Missouri for the information of the Lieutenant Gen- eral commanding:—I do not anticipate any gen- eral hostilities with these Indians during the present summer; but to avoid thefts and petty depredations on their part I have given detailed orders that trains proceeding to and from Camp Supply be concentrated before their departure, and their teamsters and employés be armed, and that strong escorts be furnished to them, Indian Agent Tappan writes to Commissioner Walker, from Fort Berthold, Dakota, under date of May 24, “That there have been unusual movements among the Sioux near that agency. A large body ot hostile Unkapapa, Munecanso, &c., consisting of some seven hundred lodges; were gather- ing together on the Little Missonrt River, eighty miles distant from Fort Berthold, on the ‘line of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and it was reported by friendly Indians that these Sioux and the Cheyennes, at Pointed Buttes, had formed a junction professedly to stop the building of the railroad, Agent Tappan ex- preases the opinion that the Northern Sioux will fol- jow the Lower Sioux in whatever action they may pursue, and adds:—“From information received al various tunes during the winter from diferent. bands of Sioux who have visited this agency, their intentions seem to be to endeavor to prevent the building of the railroad at all hazards,” Mr. J, A. Viall, Superintendent of Indian Affairs for Montana, reports, uucer date of Helena, June 18, the gratifying intelligence of the peaceful dis- bapa of the Teton Sioux, and, from information ie has received from Agent Simmons and others, he believes that the department may rest assured that matters are in very favorable shape for a per- ane with these heretofore troublesome Indians. Adjutant General Townsend telegraphed to Gen- eral Augur, making inquiry as to the truth of a let- ter published in the Galveston Civilian from Fred- ericksburg, Texas, dated 19th June, stating that General McKenzie, of New York, Lieutenant Smith and eight men were surprised by sixty Indians, be- tween Fort Belknap and Jacksboro, and that out of the thirteen of McKenzie’s party only three escaped, ‘The reply is as follows :— To Adjutant General Soviaunee ey ee pirate MeKenzio was at Fort jot one word of truth in it.
