Y., August 4, 1873, The interest in the approaching races has reached such a pitch as to render the Buffaionians obitvious for the time being that the sewers empty into the water works of the city, and that ice is not a disinfectant. In the meantime the press are glori- fying the town as the racing centre of America, and the citizens are turning an honest penny at the ex- pense of the strangers who are crowding here on every train.

Woif, President. A TERRIBLE CASUALTY. A Man Fails Eighty-six Feet—Sorrowfal ‘Termination to a Day of Pleasure. New Haven, Conn., August 4, 1873. ‘The finest building in this city is, without doubt, that of the American Lite and Trust Company, Chapel street. itis 115 feet from the sidewalk to its top. A branch of the United States Weather Bureau, in charge of Sergeant William Black, ts stationed here. His office is on the front of the building, eighty-stx feet from the sidewalk. He bas a room on the same floor, rear. From ® window in_ this room ast evening Mr. John F, Mattoon, Superintendent of the Connecticut Oil Extracting Company, of this place, tell and was instantly killed. He had called on Mr. Black and was sitting by the window while the latter was engaged working out ek lems regarding weather. Mr. Black had made his usual nine o’clock observation and started for lunch, leaving Mattoon alone in the room. On his return nothing could be found of Mattoon, and the fact of his awiui fall was not discovered until this morning at five o’clock. When found his head was a complete jeliy and nearly every bone in his body broken. He had returned from a Sunday picnic to Lighthouse Point, and was fashionably dressed. He was a :nan of intelligence, and his untimely end is the subject of very general comment. He was me years old and came irom Springfield, ass. FRIGHTFUL FALL OF A WORKMAN, Yesterday forenoon August Segman, a German carpenter, fell irom the building No. 20 Bedford street, Newark, on some timbers covering a cistern opening. ‘His scull was fractured and shoulder dislocated.

Daisy Bruze killed his brother, Dan Bruze, near Hazlewood, Alexander county, on Thursday night. Both were rather notorious characters. They had stolen some horses, and after hiding them were proceeding to the house of Oscar Greenlee with the intention, it is said, of carrying out a pre- viously arranged pian to kill Greenlee. Dan showed an inclination to back out, and when the brothers were last seen together were quarreling, Daiay carrying a heavy cinb and threatening Dan. Daisy went home alone, bringing Dan’s shoes with him. He remarked (o his wife, “li you hear me accused of murder don’t go back on me." Suspi- cion being aroused search was made, which re- suited in the discovery of Jan's body, with the neck broken and marks of heavy blows on the head. Officers started frou bere last night ip pur- Ault of the Murderer, ¥ . Sixty members of the Baltimore | CHSARISM.. od {From the New York Sunday Democrat (demo- cratic), July 27}. ‘The HERALY, which is generally far-seeing in tts views and bold and fearless in ita policy, sounds @ note of alarm which 18 worth the attention of all good republicans. There are strong inaiwations that the friends of Grant intend running him for third term. Such an unusual event is necessarily creating considerable alarm, and the able articles 1m the HeRa.p are beginning to wake up (he masses: tothe fact that our ouce happy Republic ts fast drifting into a military despotism or a monarchy. At the close of the war General Biair, who knew Grant intimately, asserted that, if elected Presi- dent, he would either become a despot or a Monarch, if not cut short in his career, This as- sertion was laughed at at the time; but, seeing It in the light of events that have since transpired, it seems almost prophotic. The Southern States have been ruled by a mili- tary despotism that no European despot dare in- flict on his subjects, In Louisiana law has been trampled upon tn the most shameful manner, and the courts and the ballot box have been ruled by the bayonets in order that Grant’s satraps may govern that State in his interest. Military coercion has been attempted even in New York, and everywhere the public mind ts daily schooled to the fact that civil law ts becom- ing subservient to military ruie. In Washington, at the head of the government itstif, we find nothing but corruption of the most Magrant kind, ‘The public treasury is depleted to subserve the in- terest of tne Grant party or to fill the pockets of many of his unscrupulous supporters, The public lands are grabbed in millions of acres by corrupt Congressmen and Senators under the pretext of endowing railroad corporations, On all sides we witness so much corruption, such a licentious abuse of power and such farcical aping after European courts aud fasnion that we should not feel surprised at the realization of the HERALD’S statement that we are drifting into Cwrsarism. {From the Vicksburg Herald (democratic), July 24.] The New York Heraup is still warning the American people of the dangers of Casarism and the imperial march of Grant. Grant continues to entrench himself behind central authority, and the HERALD may well sound the alarm and endeavor to arouse the listless people to the cordon he is tightening around every limb of the body politic. With a Congress debauched by jobbery and defiled in its leading members by venality and falsehood; witha system of finance managed in the interest of an executive junta, and a pliant judiciary, seiected to execute the behests of a party opposed to constitutional safeguards, Grant has certainly an easy march and one that the HeraLp will find much diificulty in arresting. {From the Raleigh (N. C.) News (democratic), Suly 25.) A number of our exchanges are discussing the New York HERALD’S editorial on Cesarism. The discussion was started on the announcement made by Colone! Mosby, at the Exchange Hotel, in Rich- mond, in a conversation with some newspaper re- porters, to the effect that he (Mosby) would sup- port Grant for President for the third term, There is @ practical way to nip such Cesarism tn the bud. Let Congress pass by the requisite majority next Winter an amendment to the constitution in favor of the one-term principle. We believe the amend- ment will receive the sanction of the necessary number of States. This will not scotch, but will kill the viper Cwsarism. Where Is the Republic Dritting? To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Of all the experiments ever attempted, no doubt Uhat of our ancestry founding this Repubiic bas been the most momentous in its results. It was an experiment that will, before many years elapse, cause the displacement of ail the aborigines of tue country by the most diverse peoples from al parts of the world, It was an experimert made in the later portion of the world’s history, whether mankind is capable of self-government or not, and at this very moment millions of the oppressed of all nations are gazing with the intensest tnterest at the course we are pursuing, not knowing but that we will follow in the wake of the Grecian, Roman and also the more recent republics of Northern Italy, who, by neglect, lost their liberties and so became fit subjects for despotism, which consum- mation will not only destroy the hopes of countless numbers now living, out bring = misery upon myriads yet unborn. Therefore, in consequence of the salutary results that would emanate from the preservation of the Re- public, should not all lovers of their country hold the HERALD in respect and admiration for the timely warnings it has given? [tor one am pre- pared to do homage to the spirit of a journal which bas its sentinels everywhere posted and eee out for danger that may befall our beloved country. Was not that a snblime sight, the first unfurling of the Star Stangled Banner to the winds of heaven, embieratic of the hard-earned liberty of a new-born nation, which in its infancy dared to bid defiance to the giant power of Great Britain ? And may we never see the day when the descend- ants of such ancestors will prove recreant to the trust bequeathed them by their fathers; and if we, their descendants, lose the fruits of that seven vars’ struggle which tried men’s souls by allow- ; ing this Republic to merge into an empire, our moral turpitude would be as great as that of Cain or Judas Iscariot, and our fail would be sure as that of the aspiring angel who, cursed by his own ingratitude, fell from heaven. In 1789, aiter the States had had thirteen years | Of existence, they relinquished certain rights and vested them in the federal government, and at that time, when Washington graced the Presidential chair as its first occupant, two men existed whose political theses were a3 far asunder as the East ts from the West or good is from evil: yet Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were equally patriotic in their views of | government, the latter being the champion of State sovereignty, that all power should emanate from the people and converge in their representatives at the seat of government, while the latter con- tended with great torce for a strong centralized government, Whose edicts should diverge to all parts of the Republic, and that the people should consider them final. The principles of these two men have been antagonistic from the beginning of time, and even 2,000 years ago produced such a di- vergence from centratization as that of the Athe- nian democratic government, when the people as- sembied en masse and made their own laws direct- ly. From 1789 till 1829 our public oMcers were gen- eraily governed by love of country; but how sadly many of them have fallen since then, espectally during the last tweive years! To prove which let crimes perpetrated by both parties show. It seeins as though our publie officers have lost sight entirely of the dignity and responsipiiity that should be at- tached to their positions. RR. J. YACHT RAGE ON THE DELAWARE, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 4, 1873. Aspirited yacht race came off on the Delaware this afternoon, the course being from Tacony to Ten Mile Point and back, and re- peat the entire distance, amounting to fif- teen miles.

The race was open to two classes of fifteen feet yachts, and the prizes were six in number, composed ol table silver jeces, Lizzie Ardis was the winning boat of the tirst class, Kate Eagan bens 4 in second. Lillian carried of the first prize of the second class and John Lidebettom the second prize. HONOR THE BRAVE, Gencral Sherman Received with Grand Eclat at Cape May—‘Old Tccuméch” as a Seaside Handshaker. Care May, August 4, 1873, The reception of General Sherman to-night was the most stylish event of the season, and invita- tions were issued for the first time at this piace and all our fashionables turned out in full dress, As the hero entered the room there was intense enthusiasm and Hassei’s band struck up ‘Hail to the Chief.” Presentations then took place with- out ceremony, and the occasion has veen much enjoyed. To-morrow night we have the great coterte carnival at the Columbia, for which exten- give preparations are being made.

It is understood, however, that they cannot alter the arrangement, and that the compromise will stand, thus breaking off the suit. THE UTAH TERRITORIAL ELECTIONS, SALT LAKE, August 4, 1873.

SEEKING THE: ASSASSIN. Klaus Meyers was arrested by Captain Williams, of the Eighth precinct, last night, charged with killing an unknown man in the liquor saloon where he was engaged as a clerk.

After partaking of two or three glasses of beer ne happened to see some change that was lying on fhe counter belonging to some other parties, and supposing it was his own the unknown man took ittup. He had no sooner done so than one of the men desired him im @ rough manner to put it down again. The unknown took offence at the rudeness shown him and manifested a desire to resent it. The other and more sober men took advantage of his anger and commenced to quarrel with him, For some time the = atuir remained among the three, but the noise and bustle collected a crowd, and = Meyers, determined to put them ail into the street. He sturted trom behind the counter, as several parties who saw the affair satd last night, and went to push out the unknown, The ‘latter was & powerful’ man aud not easily dis osed ol. He struggled with ‘Meyers ut the latter, with the assistance of the others, succeeded in getting him to the sidewalk. The unknown went back alter the barkeeper, and the fight was renewed. Meyers finally got him to the sidewalk and a portion of the way to the corner, and then in the darkness, one of the witnesses thinks, hit him on the head with & short club, such as is used by policemen, and the man fell dead.

One of the most remarkable features of the case was the stampede that oc curred when the police approached, Almost 'Y Man and woman in the place run of, and no Was leit to give an accountof how the affair originated, Captain Williams was most fortanate m being able to secure the two persons who were passing.
