6 A WAR CLOUD. Hestilities Imminent Between: Brazil and the Argentine Confederation. Cause of the Quarrel—Criminations and Recrimi- netions—Brazil for War—The Representative of the Argentine Confederation Not To Be Received—The Relative Strength of the Two Countries. Rio JANEMmO, June 18, 1872, A dence of a row has been raised here by thé ‘mote of the Argentine Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Tejedor, dated 27th of April, and recently pub- eked in Buenos Ayres, It is certainly a document of as offensive a character as could well be written by a minister, and the Brazillan government would mot deign to reply to it, and its publication has made Brazilians of all political stripes furious. I have learned from high authority that the govern- ment has determined not to receive General Mitre, Who ie coming from Buenos Ayres on a special mis. sion, and that war, ruthless war, is the govern- ment programme, ff immediate satisfaction be not givenby the Argentine government. In fact, in the semi-oMicial journal, the Movimento, an article emanating from the government was published on Saturday, In which occur the following stinger: The daring, manifested only in words, of the Ar- gentine Republic, 1s too well known. If that people, desvended from the old Spaniards, did not contina- ally boast they would belie their origin. We who saw the Argentine bravery on the Paraguayan plains, ‘we who know how much capital the government of the republic makes of its hyperbolical genius, why should we annoy ourselves? We do not know which most to admire, the unreasonableness of the insult or the acrid and rude manner with which | the government of a weak and cowardly nation | provokes us to a declaration of war, They provoke us to war; they rashly desire it! We have already said the answer which thelr daring shonld veceive, Let them have the war they desire! But | we wish to see opposed to us other braves than | those who fied from the fights of the Paragnayan | war, and them not commanded by a general who 4honght only of carrying out jobs and furnishing eontracts, Onr soldiers long for a chance to prove’ to the world that our Argentine allies took no part. $n our tridimphs in Paraguay.

The navy, also, is itching with the desire | %o bring to Rio the fainous Argentine Meet of the Paraguayan war, that consisted of the little wooden ‘steamer Guarda Nacional, which, in the beief of the Argentine people, rescued the Brazillan equadron from the trap of Cuevas, destroyed the | whole Paraguayan fleet at Riachi#elo, forced the | frowning batteries and torpedo-strewed passes of | @urupaity, Humaita and Angostura, and the very | mention of whose namie made an icy stream run down Lopez’ vertibrated column and the bravest soldier of the Paraguayan army | shiver to the outermost euticle of iis bare and | march -hardened sole. “Up and at em,” is the ery | trom every Brazillan caipira; “Give the bloody | gaucho goss and Brazitian pepper!” scream the | Moleques, while, on the other hand, the Argen- ‘tines have ordered three jron-claas apd numbers of cannon, Hy the steamship Neva, from England, they received early this month a large num- | ber of breech-loading rifles, and on the river Tigre, near Buenos Ayres; they have a busy manufacture | of torpedoes going on, under the superintendence | Of Prussian oficers, while the Ayres are busy singing, of cours The monkeys are coming The monkeys are coming !

Baan baa ili Departure of the Grand Duke for South Africa— His Farewell Entertainment to the Em- peror and Imperial Family on Board the Svetlana. R10 Janerno, Brazil, June 18, 1872. On Sunday noon, June 9, the Russian frigate Svetlana, Admiral Possiet, with the Grand Duke Alexis on board, left this port for Cape Town, South Africa, on her way to the East Indies, China and Japan. The Svetlana came into this harbor on the morning of Monday, April 29, and during the in- terval of her visit the Grand Duke has been the re- cipient of oMcial attentions a few times from the Emperor and other members of the imperial family, but in no instance has there been any demonstration on the part of the city in its corporate capacity or by citizens pri- vately, so that the presence of a Russian Grand Duke has even been unknown to a large por-_ tion of the people of the Brazilian metropolis, His life here has been a quiet one—at least in compart- son with his North American experieaces—and his time divided between his official duties as First Tieutenant of the Svetlana and an occasional excur- sion on shore, ENTERTAINMENT BY ALEXIS. On Monday, June 3, the Grand Duke gave an en- tertainment on board the Svetlana, which was attended by the Emperor, Empress, Princess Im- perial and her husband, the Conde d’Eu, the Duke of Saxe and the members of the foreign Spar body, the United States being represented yy Hon. dames R. Partridge, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States, ‘The entertainment consisted ofan elegant breakfast, followed by dancing and a display of boat exercise by the crew of the Svetlana. The frigate was richly decorated, and @ magniialeny canopy was made over the quarter-deck, of national colors.

Law asto Admission of Inmates—A Curious Fi- nancial Exhibit—Radical Cause of Diffi- culties—Fair Promises Unfulfilled. For a proper understanding of the management of the House of Refuge, on Randall's Island, of which Mr. Israel ©. Jones is Superintendent, the In accordance with the petition of several mmhabi- tants of this city, destrous of establishing a saclety and nouse for the reformation of juvenile delin- quents, the Legislature in March, 1824, passed an act constituting such persons ana others who should become thereafter subscribers to the associ- ation a body corporate for the purpose mentioned. The institution on Randall's Island is the result of that la’ According to the charter it receives boys and girls, under the age ot sixteen years, commit- ted by magistrates as vagrants, disorderly or crimi- nal offenders from the city andcounty of New York and from Richmond, Suffolk, Queens, Kings, West- chester and eleven other counties, The House of Refuge has provision for 750 boys and 250 girls. The present number of inmates ts about 500, PAIR PROMISES, The managers number thirty, among whom Is Mr. Charles P. Daly, and the President is Mr. Oliver 8. Strong. They are invested with power to place the childreh committed to thetr charge, during the minority of such children, at such employments as they may deem proper, and bind wiem ont as ap- prentices, Inspectors of State prisons are directed to convey any convicts under the age of seventeen years to the House of Refuge, and whenever any person under the age of sixteen years shall be con- victed of a felony the Court, instead of sentencing such person to imprisonment in a State prison, may send them to the House of Refuge. The ages of delinquents are iuscribed if necessary in commitments either by a magistrate or the Managers, The managers, in their’ printed circulars to parents, state that the institution is not @ place of punishment nor a_ prison, but a reform school, where the inmates are instructed and trained with the view to form and perpetuate virtuous character; to establish habits of industry, and to advance them in those branches of knowledge which are taught m the common schools. “They are accordingly provided,” continues tho circular, “witha home every way pleasant ana comfortable; are furnished with | steady employment of a kind to enable them to earn Their own support after their discharge; have appropriate seasons of recreation; are well fed and clothed, and when sick are attended by the house physician and are carefully nursed; are regu- larly gathered tnto school at certain hours on five days of the week, and on the Sabbath are furnished with suitable religious and moral instruction,” NOT FULFILLED, Not one of the promises of the managers is red out except that of “steady employment.” ‘The hours allotted to school are unusual and in- suMictent to be of any service; the “suitable reli- gious” instruction is & gross outrage on the con- sclences of a large number of the inmates and pro- motive of scandalous evils; the “moral instruc- tion” we know from the testimony given by Super. futendent Jones at the trial of Dunn cousists of whij ping and tying up by the thumbs, and as to good food, the hoys deny on oath that it is either suficient or agreeable. The “house physician” does not reside on the island, He attends to a city practice. The whole system at the Refuge tends to make the boys worse, and instead of refor them, converts them into hardened ana desperate characters, DIRECT INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC. ‘The public is directly Interested in the manage- ment of this Institution, — It is supported entirely by annual allowances from the State and from the Board of Education, but the largest item comes from the labor of the boys, The managers do not contribute a single dollar towards its support, though the act establishing the society distinctly states that they must be subscribers. The Treasw exhibit, blished January 1, 1872, gives the | following Ogures:— ct RECEIPT! From State Comptroller. £40,000 From labor of children. 47,789 From Board of Education. 8,777 From theatrical licenses. . 661 From old tron and wharfage From temporary Joan.

Balance against society $3,619 It will be seen by the above that the earnings ot the children amounted to within $4,600 of the en- e appropriation and money from other sources were used up chiedy for salaries, and the singular item of a loan of $16,500 appears, while the inmates, by their labor alone, come within a trifle of sustaining themselves, ‘The Refuge is, as far as its support ha public institution as the Foundling levne Hospital.

The revolution is not confined to any section or State, or parts of States; itis general. It ts strong among the people of Vermont; is decisive in all closely balanced States; 1s sweeping in all the op- position States, and promises, before November, to be overwhelming in all the States. There is no local reason why Greeley should be more popular in Mlinois than in Massachusetts; yet the revolu- tion in this State is astonnding even to his friends. So general and sweeping is it that there is not at this time a Congres- sional district in this State in which the friends of Mr. Greeley do not have the strongest hopes of electing their candidate, Sev- eral districts which in 1868 gave Grant majorities by the thousands are, even at this early day, con- sidered sale for Greeley. As to, the electoral vote of this State being given for Greeley, there is no doubt. The Greeley State ticket and a Legislature of Gre ey supporters are regaréed as certainties, Throughout the Union enough is known to render it certain that the following States are hopelessly lost to Grant:—Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, In- diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, California Nevada, Connecticut, New Mampshire, Florida—mak- ing 171 electoral votes. thoso who have reason to know have no hesitation in giving him the vote of New York by 60,000, and Pennaylvania by 30,000, and New Jersey by 16,000, ‘These States have seventy-threo electoral votes, These give him fifty electoral votes more than are needed for an election, This has been accomplished within sixty days, one-half of which time was spent tn waiting for Philadelphia to nominate some other candidate than Grant. In the four months yet to pass before the election the revolution has ample time to be felt in the other States. Already comes the cheorlng news that Mulne gives promise or emancipating herself. Rhode Island will certainly follow. In Michigan the campaign has hardly opened, and Minnesota may already be enrolled for Greeley. UNION REPUBLICAN GENERAL COMMITTEE, Commencing Work in Earnest. The regular monthly meeting of the Union Repub- lican General Committee was held last evening at 453 Fourth avenue, the President, Mr. Thomas E. Stewart, inthe chair, After the usual preliminary business had been transacted, such as calling the roll and reading the minntes of the previous meet- ing, a resolution changing the name of the organization to that of the Liberal Republican General Committee was passed. Another resolution was adopted Teaniring, the various district agsoctations to open books for the enrolment of all republicans in favor of Greeley and Brown who wish to join, A somewhat lengthy reamble and resolutions were put forward by Mr. olhimus, of the Seventh district, and unanimously adopted, These reviewed and eulogized the action of the democratic party in endorsing Mr. Qreeley, and pledged the everiasting and untiring support of the committee to the Sage of Chappaqua, Mr. Polhimus backed his effusion in a neat ilttle speech, which was warmly received, os indeed it must needs have been, considering the thermometer stood at 100 degrees in the hall, The Room Com- mittee were instructed to secure what Used to be known as Mozart Hall, in Broadway, near Hleventh street, as the future headquarters of the commit- tee, after which the meeting adajourned—not, how- ever, until three hearty cheers had been given for Greeley and brown, REPUBLIOAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, The Republican Executive Committee of the City of New York met last evening at their headquar- ters, corner of Twenty-third street and Broadway, but of twenty-six members oniy fourteen were present.

Lawson, William Drummond, John J. O’Brien and John H. White, The committee were particularly requested to wait upon Senator Conklin, and ask him to speak ou the occasion, alter which the meeting adjourned, THE COUNTRY PRESS ON THE BALTIMORE NOMINATIONS, Missouri, Sr. Louis, July 11, 1872, ‘The Republican this morning says:—*The Balti- more Convention, informally renominating Gree- ley and Brown and readopting the Cincinnatt plat- form, departs slightly from the strict Missouri policy; but a policy which has received so many endorsements of its substantial points and achieved 80 Many successes can well afford to acquiesce in this trifing departure from its strict letter.

Following close upon the footsteps of the fatal “heated term” and the thunder storms which haw swept over Manhattan Island within the last weex the report of a shock of earthquake in our vicinit, caused no sinall sensation among the g004 peopl of Gotham last evening. In fact, it only wanted a earthquake to fill up the measure of our atmot pherie evils. A year and a half ago a slight shock of motu terre was felt in New York city itself, and almos within twelve months a distinct shock of eartl quake was felt across the river in Willlamsburg, & distinct koe rai people who praised’ “Dutel | town” as be “RUS IN URDE” | thonght they had better take up their beds an come back to live in New York again. Sti to iat the last shock of earthquake whid was felt in Long Island extended north thro the New England States, and was isting felt on one line as far as the Of nadian border, at a jump Quebec, crossed Westchester county southerly direction, but was not felt on Maj Island at ail. ‘fhe shock of eighteen month New York was felt in every direction thre the city, but with nothing like the violence which extended along the northeastern coe in the early part of lit year. The announcement in the sveniig par yesterday that a shock of earthquake had be: ‘about half-past four o'clock yesterday mort the towns along the north shore of Long » and caused the most profound sensation tia ughout the city. The first telegram announciag the shock arrived in New Yorn carly, in the ty and stated merely that it had been felt in Glen A later despatch said that the earthquake was in Dosoris and Sands’ Point, and in the other towns along the north shore of the Island. Still later accounts set forth that{t had been felt In the village of Rye, and Portchester and West- chester county, and that it had reached as far north as Dobbs’ Ferry, where the shock was #0 distinct that it could leave no room for doubt. s The Shock on Long Island. A HERALD reporter was immediately despatched to the Long Island towns from which the shock was | first reported, to learn, if possible, ita course, and any facts of public interest in connection with it, He first visited Whitestone, but no- body in the village seemed to have heard of the earthquake, and those to whom the HERALD re- porter spoke on the subject, with true Long Island instinct, believed that he knew all about it, and. forthwith set about interviewing him. Returning to Flushing he resumed his inquiries; but here, too, the people were in most Dbliss- ful ignorance that snbterrancan guns were being fired off within a few miles of them in honor, no donbt, of the Bastimore nominations. One in~ credulous individual, fndeed, with whom the re- porter conversed, pooh-poohed the idea of an earth- quake on Long Ishind, and with the greatest self complacency remarked “it was THE GUNS AT THE CITY HALL.” But as the guns at the City Hall were not fired at the City Hall at half-pust four o’clock jn the morn- ing (notwithstanding the energy of General George Roome) the reporter went farther, and fared little better in Flushing, He made inguirles in every @irection throughout the village, but only one ind vidual had heard of the earthquake seven miles off, and that was the lady who runs the telegraphic bu- Teau of the Western Union Telegraph Company on the main atreet of Flusht That interesting per- sovage had left the bureau to run itself for a couple of are but when she returned from her afternoon he blandiy informed the reporter that she had “beard Glen Cove and Roslyn TALKING OVER THE WIRES abont the earthquake at eight o'clock in the morn- ing; but she was perfectly sure that there was no earthquake in Fiushing, as she was awake all night.’ The reporter asked her if she would be ood enough to “ialk over the wires” to Glen Cove and Roslyn and ask thom if they knew anything about the earthquake, when she replied, witha frightfully knowingair, “Roslyn is new to the business, and you may not be able to raise her; but Glen Cove is smart enougt if she wants to do it. I don’t tbink, really, tha ou can get anything from Roslyn; but I'l try Gler | Cove.”? ‘The reporter was about to leave the burean, in tending to try what Glen Cove could do, when the fair operator called after, ‘See he is calling Rosly: from-New York, but he cannot raise her.” Allowin. for the sultry condition of the atmosphere and tt normal dulness of Roslyn, except wheu an eart. quake turns up, the reporter thought it better te cross over himself, and, as the fair operator couldn't be “raised,” raise something himself, At Roslyn all the morning nothing was talked of in the village but the eartiquake, The shock was distinctly felt throughout the entire town, and, the reporter was informed by one gentleman, for fully sixteen seconds, This sam authority stated that the shock came in the ditrec tion of the south side. No injury was done in the village, though the houses, which are all built. of th lightest kind of timber, were shaken to their founda- tions. Several bureaus were knocked over, and im one instance, at the hotel, a tray of glasses, which stood on the bar from the night before, were knocked ov nd broken, The villagers were very much mor J xed than hurt, and it ts safe ta ben that, Ifnothing else, the whole forenoon was lost, At Glen Cove, At the village of Gien Cove, in aimost a direct northerly direction from Roslyn, the shock was felt much more distinctly than at the latter place. Several persons stated to the reporter that the first intimation they received of the shock was a heavy thud and a dull roar like thar of dis- tant artillery. The shock here lasted for, i 1s said, fully fifteen seconds, As it increased the noise be+ came greater, until it sounded like @ clap = of thunder, and then died = away across the Sound In a northerly direction, The shock awakenca everybody who was 4 the town, and people rushed from thelr dressed, into the main street.

Shortly after half-past eleven o’clock yesterday morning, an eartiquake shock was felt in many portions of Westelester county, pa) ticularly in that section lying contiguous to Long Island Sound, In the Villages of Portchester, Kye, New — Rochelle, Peihamvilie and Mouut Vernon hy of the still slumbering in- f habitants were st 1 by visible vibrations thelr respective dwellings, While beds, sideboards. and other hea aitiies of furniture swayed to and fro in worming inanuer, No actnak damage haa been reported, t ever, nor could it be ertained Whetier any window glass was broken by the unusual visitation, .
