8 ce \ PECULIAR INSTITUTIONS. Some of the Darker Shadows of Our Civilisae tion—The Morgue, the Dead House and the Petters Field. ee ee A TRENITY OF A Chinese Joss House in the Sixth Ward. AORRORS. | NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY. JULY 6, 1874~WITH SUPPL. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ——— The North Atlantic Squadron—Rear Ad- miral Maliany in Command—The Ves- sels and Their Odicers. KEY West, June 25, 1814. Rear Admiral J. R. M. Mullany assumed command Of the United States forces on the North Atlantic station on Friday the 19th ult., at ten o'clock A. M., holsting his fag on board.the United States steamer Worcester, amiast appropriate cere- monies, Salutes being fired by the vessels of the squadron, ta accordance with the prescribed reg- wiations. Below is a lst of the vessels on the North At- lantic station, with the officers attached, Of these the Colorado is now at Norfolk, She will probably undergo some repairs and become the flagship of the squadron, The Canandaigua has Itis of the undercurrent of misery, pain and suffering which accompanies all our civilization | tat the present article speaks, Itis of the sick- ening meanings of such words as the Morgue, the ead flouse, the Potter's Field, the Boat of Death and ali these similar dark shadows in the bright tlood of light which runs through our daily iife, THE MORGUE 13 one of the really necessary institutions, because there 2¢ems to be no other way of disposing of the unknown dead. Jt is awfulto note the crowd of people who usually surround this place of death— women and children, not brought here by any sentiment of awe, but by that morbid curiosity which deliguis to icok upon the dead. The sun comes in at the window and plays at hide and seek with the shadows, making diamonds of the drops of water falling upon the | putrelying remnants of humanity and running | about the room in fitful play, suggesting now and then dork scenes of crime and murder and the suddenly going out, while the laughter of the boys in the streets continues and makes a lasting Accompaniment to the water which ts dropping ever and counting the moments of eternity. Many of the corpses here are claimed, many aro never looked for, Hasty inquests seldom develop the true causes of death. Half these cases have been found in the river, Verdict, accidental drowning. The river buries many secrets for ever. Marka of violence cannot be substantiated as blows; they may come from being scraped up and down the bottom of the river aod in and out among the piers, But for alt this the carelesaness exhibited in the whole manner of conducting these ingniries Is remarkable, and it is only at long intervals that an inconvepient case crops up to show ‘the public what a want of care there isin these inquests, Readers of the HexaLp may still, per- hapa, remember the case of poor Uoulson, & BIERALD reporter, Who had been found drowned, and on whose corpse were numerous papers es- tablishing his identity, and who, in spite of it all, came very near being huddied in an unknown grave because some Coroner pigeon-holea the papers and was, probably, too busy to care to read them. The anxious inguiries of friends, by the merest chance, made the gross error palpable, . THE DEAD HOUSE. This is a more objectionable place than the Morgue in itself, because here comes for boxing up and final disposition allthe todies which have latd the regulation time at the Morgue and which are to be boxed up for interment in the Potter's Field. Tnese corpses bave lain in the Morgue at Teast forty-eight hours, so that in any case they are not ina favorable Condition to suggest very pleasant feetings. When decomposition ts far ad- vanced the Dead House cart loads the body wherever it is found and takes it to the Dead House for the inquest. The writer at one time 5 at the entranca of the Dead House when the ambulance drove vA with two corpses, one of & man tscolored and so horribiy decomposed that the atmosphere for a hundred yards around was almost unbeara- ble. ‘The body was carried out of the cart to the Dead House, and not ten minutes after four of the friends of the dead man arrived, one of whom fad been tn the water with him two days before, when he was drowned. The examination then took Place, and the features had been so distorted during ‘this ume that two of the friends stood for recog- Rizing the corpse as thatof their frtend and the two others stood against it. They did not know ‘what to do until one of them proposed to toss up and abide by the dectston, which was done—*Heads 10'8 Dim, tails it isn’t.” Head came up, and the tmends thereupon made amaavit that they recog- mized the body and would take care of it. THE DEATH BOAT. It is a little boat painted black, and has suc. ceeded the ope, which formerly did this service und Was sunk in Heil Gate some time since. Here the coffins, however few or many they may be, ate Diled one on top of the other in the forward portion, the patients and prtsoners who are being trans- ferred tu the islands being placed in the backward portion. She starts about nine o'clock each morn- ing and makes her trip to the various insutu- tions—the Charity Hospital on blackwell’s Island, the Workhouse, the Lunatic Asylum or any of the | other sad but necessary place-—and when her | Itving freiznt has been gor rid of starts on up to Hart's Istund with ber cargo of dead, The num- ber differs very much, sometimes in sumer there being twenty or thirty in a day, and then again tere being but one or two. These, being pauper aead, are not worthy of any ceremony, and the main idea {5 fo get. rid of them #8 guickly as pos- sidie. Arrived at Hart’s Isiand, the transfer ts done in a very Speedy sort of a manner, and the boat, once rid Gl the responsibilty, returns to the city. THE POTTER'S FIELD. This is, perhaps, the saddest and most desolate sight of our civilization. Years ago the old Potter's Field was in what !s now Washington square, The | podies which were interred here have never been removed nor ever Wil be. Subsequently to this the Potter's Field was removed tu the upper por- ton Of the city, on the eagt side, and, finally, to Hart's Island, where It now is, But, even at the Tatethey are going now, the space of the pauper cemetery will very soon become too small, The manner of burial, in deep trenches, one over an- other, pe'lmell, any way, is a shameful com- ment on our peng respect for the dead. What real respect ia there In the custom wrich only gives decent burial to those who can pay for it? Gut what addsto the shocking display 1s the fact that, even the ugh permission be obtained to dis inter @ body, there is no meabs in the world by which It cau be recognized except by opening all the cottins until you come to it, All this 1s of course very shamejul, but when a heavy comes and washes away the thin layer of eartn above these coffius and ts them about in inex- tricable coniusion, some of the shells breaking open and exposing the dead to the face of heaven, and when the sun comes down onall this, the Most nauseons and frightful vapor arises and even | y, poisons the whoie neighborhood, A CHINESE JOS$ HOUSE. About the middie of Donovan's jane, and rune ning between two large wareuouses which dank it, runs a long corridor, dark and ili-smeiling, and ‘Which jeads to a staircase, rickety and tumble- downy. Ascending it from the corridor one Teaches the second floor, and here the one door before you opens to your touch. A curious scene is immediately presented of a room almost fi with Chinamen. They sit around the table gam- | bling, and their every energy evidently on the | game, and no one notices your entrance. Some of | these are smoking, others chewing opium, and two or three are on ihe floor asieep. The one thing which strikes you on entering, above ail others, is the close, fetid smeil produced by the opium, and which deadens all other odors. The furniture 18 poor, even squalid ; the floor uucarpeted, the walls bare. Still the game goes on with the same vim, the same ex- ettement. Now and then one drops off trom the ie “broke.”’ and, stretching himself on the oor, sinks into sinmber, At the side of the room facing the door 0! entry Is another door, which opens inthe same easy way. Entering here one 13 struck by the contrast with the room left be- ud. Here everything 1s still and quiet. On toe wall, petween two windows opening @ small dark courtyard, is a large pic- ture of the Chinese god It represents him sitting § cross-legge: like @ Mandarin. Fronting him is a lamp, Which never, ojtner d Or night, is allowed to go out. plece of yellow silk, trom China, covered with cabaltatic figures and evidently much revered. Around the goa are a number of toys and jim- cracks. The floor is carpeted and clean. One Guinaman {s present and stands reverently belore the godhead uncovered and watching it intently. 45 # murmur come te voices of the excited yers and their vile oaths can be heard. it is, indeed, singular. the contrast between these men IM the god's room and out of it. Once away from the actual presence o! their god and their bad | area take possession of them; in the room meu more devout.

During the past week the most important place where taey bave “Shaken the mouldering plain | | with the tread of the thundering horse hoof’ has been East Saginaw, the apex of the Michigan | trilateral, which this season must be conceded to have been very successful, though the petting men | who follow the favorites haye dropped a good | deal more money into the pool box than they have | taken out. The betting, particularly in the three minute and two-fiity classes, has been of the In- | and-out character with a vengeance, and the man | who tries to get a line between Kittte Wells, Ris- tori, Fox and Frank J., to go no further, will be hopelessly puzzled. Any one of the four may, how- ever, be set down as safe to beat the thirty mark before the season 18 over. Fox landed the $300 purse, taking the first, thira and fourth heats in 2:30, 2:304 and 2 but in the 2:50 class, on the last day, Mr. Alden Goldsmith's mare Ristori, who had not been | able to get a better string of figtres after her | name than 6, 6, 4, 6, turned the tables on him and repeated her Jackson victory. Fox won the first | heat in 2:51, then the lady from Blooming @ N. Y., scored the necessary three in | ana 2 Mambrino Star again landed the | race, trotting the second heat tn 2:23%, but when he met General Grant in the 2:40 class it was bis | ay out and the five-year-old chestnut stallion’s | day in, the General taking three straight heats— | best time, 2:33 (second heat)—on a track heavy from a forenocon’s rain. In the 2:34 class the backers “caught it hot’ again, Belle winning | three heats and Capitola one, Catskill, the fa- | vorite, only getting fourth money—best heat, (third), Ohto Boy scored another most creditable | win tn the 2:30 race, taking first, second and firth heats in 2:32%, 2:31% and (last heat), on | another day Little Mack taking the inter- | mediates in 2:28% and 2:22%%. In the 2:26 class Fred Hooper carried $750 to the credit, of | his fodder bill, second heat 2:27, Molite Morris after taking the first and third in 2:30, 2:28%4, going to pieces and being distanced and Western Koy bursting a vessel. Broken vessels and sudden | deaths, indeed, were rather @ feature at all tue Michigan meetings. Red Cloud, for the shird | time, landed tne Free For All, but had to trot tor | James being only a neck behind, in 2:22, 4) 2:22, which fact should be borne in mind, The running races are rather good. Megibben's | chestnut filly disposed of the Canadian crack: | Blenkiron and Protection, at mile heats—1:46 1:45';, 1:49'{—Blenkiron wioning the second, Blenkiron was sent to the stable on the third day for being pulled in the most barefaced manner in the two mile dash. Jim Alexander’s victory at two mile heats was a most creditable one, as he won the first and third heats in 3:38, 3:40, Nellio Grim, the favorite, landing the second in 3:39%—a good race all through, The trotting at Laporte, Ind., was not ofa pe- culiarly interesting character. Monarch, Jr., re- eated his victory over Lillian, and in the big race Phot Temple, the patriarch, scored @ wig over the venerable Logan. ‘The trotting at J@iwaukee was very indifferent, and but for the ruling off of L. Douglas? chestnut gelding, John Hall, and G. Adams’ bay gelding, Golddust, for attempted fraud in the three-minute class, would have been wholly unwortby notice. With the first Dexter Park meeting and trotting at Evansvilie and Galesburg, this week, sport Will be of a superior class. SHOOTING AT CHICAGG.

In response to the query whether he believed a third election was desired by the President Gen- erai Gordon is reported as saying:— Tcertainly do, Ithink that President Grant is exceedingly anxious to run again and is very apt to do 80, 1 ain very intimate with him; as mnch So as AIMost Any One, and he ts always very cordial wae me. 1 think he certaloly intends to run again. When asked whether he would receive the re- publican nomination the Senator said:— T don’t think General Grant desires a party nom- ination at their hands, His ambition is to ran as the people's candidate; not asa democratic or a republican candidate, but asa candidate of the people of the United States—as a candidate of a great Grant party, tf you please. Evidences of this ambition are evinced daily. is absolute in- dependence o! all repubiican jeaders; the inditfer- ence with which he tneurs the enmity of Morton, Logan or Butler, and, above all, the evident pains he takes to show the South that ue 1 nok her enemy. A man canpot be with Grant any length of time before he catches his kindly drift ‘in favor of the Southern people. His idea ‘seems to be to show our people that he is President, not of one section, but of the Re- public, and that he shall deal to them just such judgments as to those who followed the Stars | and Stripes. Sul, 1fGrant wants the nomination of the republican party he will get it. Not that they preter him to apy other candidate. Not at all, For with the tradition of the Republic. and the spirit of our institutions so decidedly against such a course, they will be timid about offering a thira term candidate, They will nominate him, though, because they willbe afraid not to do tt. For two reasons:—First, they believe he is the only man who can hold the republican party to victory. And (they are right in this) that Ne Is much stronger than his party, Second, they fear that if they leave him out he will be picked np by some middie party or even by the democratic party and run against them, Hence, if he wants the nomination, in my opinion, he will get it with- out any trouble. In the event of Grant not running the Senator be- lieves that Elihu B, Washburne would be the prom- The Senator, how- ever, thinks that the democracy will have a cer- tain victory for the following reasons :: First—Grant cannot be elected on his financial platform, The great mass of the people are oe posed to the speedy return to specie payments that he advocates, because thoy believe it will bring panics ten times worse than the one we are just recovering trom, and ruin the country. They all believe in hard moncy as a@ fact, and love to talk of it as a boast, but tney don't believe in wad- ing through rnin ana PankeaDtsy to resumption. Grant, on his veto platform or his policy set forth m his memorandum to Senatur Jones, cun’t, in my opinion, carry a single Western or Southern State, and I don’t think he can carry Pennsylvania. Second—it would be almost impoasibie for any ™man to enter the White House for a third term. The whole spirit of the Republic is against it. It would be esteemed an audacious grasp ata dic- tatorship. The people who revere the Republic and its traditions will rise topatic down. And yet with this terrificinfuence against him Grant 13 the strongest man bis party can ran. Morton and Logan are bota seprany ) but neither can bring the same spirit and intiuence and enthusiasm to the canvass that Grant can. So that I think, if the party runs Grant, the alarm of the people at the approach of absolutism will entail defeat. If it throws Grant overboard there is no other man in its ranks that is strongenough to lead the party through another victorious campaign, Another strong reason why the Senator arrives at these conclusions is the corruption and rotten- ness of the republican party. He remarks :— It cannot stagger along much longer under its load of infamies. The Sanborn contracts, the | Crédit Mobilier, the moiety system, the District of Columbia jobs, and above all the carpet-bag scoun- drelisms in the Southern States; sll these arrayed against the party will killit. Why, sir, the accu- mulated villanies perpetrated upon the State of Louisiana, or of South Carolina alone, by the radl- cal party, will damn it In the eyes of the people, Moxes snd Durell! the democracy might go before the country and demand the expulsion from power of the party that had elevated or even tolerated them. It 1s nataral for the people in the time of panic and stringency to put the cause of the trouble at the door of the party in power, especially in a With these two names only | country where the currency is 80 absolutely con- | trolied by the government as in ours. Add to this tendency the fact that the ruling party, time | and again, have been detected in thieving ana jobbery, and I think you have a pretty strong case. Of the prominent democratic candidates the Sen- ator remarked:— Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio, is at present by far the most prominent canaidate. His splendid can paign in Ohio last year, carrying it for the deim¢ racy, for the first time in many, many years, gives him a splendid start. You see Ohio atone ‘ime polled 42,000 radical majority. ‘To have whipped (his down and then carried the State 1s no small victory. Pendleton 1s a leading candidate, on his currency platiorm, and General G. W. Morgan, of Oho, 18 also spoken ably of by his trlénds. Thas, you see, Ohio oifers three candidates, .

To THR EDITOR OF THE HERALD :— Tue conaition of affairs in this community with | reference to the dog question is simply incredibic, After maktng all possible allowance for excited feeling and unreasoning fears the unquestionable fact remains that & number of persons without fault of their own have fallon victims to the most unspeakably horrivle of discases—hydrophobia, does not affect the merits of the case. The fact that you or I or any member of our fami- Hes may at any moment, In spite of any care, sutfer the most horribie of deaths, leaving for all surviving friends 9 legacy’ of torturing memories, is certainly worthy of atten- tion, Are these onimais necessary to our wellare tn any direction? What good is secured to balance this enormous evil? In a primitive stage of society, When men are in conflict with the unsubdued powers of nature, dogs may be necessary; butis not the ‘riend and companion of man’ about played out in this community. A dozen Bengal tigers running at large would do less mischief than the Mangy, polson-armed, use- less curs of this metropolis, AS it now stanaa the human race lives in constant dread of its dogs, Can we not procure and enforce a law which will render the existence of dogs at liberty at any sea- son of the year an impossibility? Let the entire canine race be proscribed, a general sentence of death passed upon them, and ourselves and our children be delivered from fear of the most awiul visitation which can {ail upon humanity. CANOPHOBIA, A Plea for the Brute, To Tae EpiToR oF THE HkeRaLD:— When an epidemic terror is once excited every | morning brings some new disaster. Perhaps, for instance, some one has been frightened by the contribute to preventing absorption, while carholic acid, or even common salt, applied, will materially aid in disposing of the virus. By labricating the tongue With sweet ot! and salt, before the mouth is applied to the wound to suck the Virns out, the party who performs this operation runs no risk of absorbing the poison into his system through the agency 01 his tongue; but he must be pernonise to expectorate before any of the blood or saliva comes in contact with his throat Cold water Siould be freely drank in all stages of hydropho- bia, for it ts the nature of the disease to abhor it; and if people would only give their dogs more water there would he fewer dogs around. A little salt in it do no harm, but a great deal of good, tient cannot be indnced to take water willingly then gag him with it, but by all means get itaown. Stimulating liquors should be strictly avoided.

In advanced stages morphia or chloroform may be administered, but this can only allay the suttering of the patient and enable him to die eas which is far preferable to piling agony on ny by useless experiments. In a tropical climate I witnessed two men and a cow bitten by a raving mad dog within a few minutes ofeach other. An eminent army surgeon sta- tloned there attended one man and | the other, The cow bad to be shot two weeks alter, and three months later the army surgeon's patient, who had been laid up all the time, died a most horrible death, My man never experienced any annoy- ance, except the soreness of the wound for about filteen days, and a tended to his business all the time. I applied suction and the remedies already Hohe of; the army surgeon treated with medi- cine alone. In conclusion, I have no hesitation in wagering, although [ am nota betting man, that If people who are bitten by mad dozs will follow this plan immediately after the wound has been inficted, instead of waiting to see whether they are going to die, hydrophobla will soon find its “occupa- tion is gone,” and all its terrors laughed to scorn, New Yorg, July 3, 1874. MEDICUS. HYDROPHOBIA CURED. ‘ Six Pounds of Blood Letting and the Cola and Early Use of the Lancet— Successful Treatmont of a Casc by Venesection by Assistant Surgoon Gib- son, of His Majosty’s Sixty-ninth Regl- ment. While so much is being said and done to alarm the people about hydrophobia and needlessly to diseaso*their minds and bodies to that oxtent which doctors aver may arise from morbid imagin- ings, itis refreshing to turn to the Asialfe (1817) volume 4, page 219, wherein a remarkable case o! hydrophobia ts reported as successiully cured. ‘The cure made was substantially thus, by As- sistant Surgeon Gibson, of His Majesty's Sixty- ninth regiment :— Isabel, the wife of Sergoant McDaniel, of His Majesty's Eightieth regiment, aged twenty-two, was taken ill this evening (19tn of September), about five o'clock, complaining of headache and pain at the scrobdilicus cordis. About av hour af terwards refused to take her tea, and showed o degree of horror at tne sight of it. Her husband then offered her some spirits and water, wiich she also refused, and looked at it with dread; was im- mediately seizea with a convulsive fit, im con- sequence of which I was sent for and found her Javoring under strong muecoiar spasmodic action Oi the whole body; her countenance expressive of adegree of horror lhad never beiore witnessed ; her eyeballs were turgid aud gilstened with @ Va~ cant stare; ATTEMPTING TO BITR THE ATTENDANTS and everything that came ta her way.

THE MILLIONNAIRE MURDERER. + Sam McDonaid, of Baltimore, in Jail for Killing a Gambler-Incidents in His Life. Sam McDonald is called the “millionnatre mur- derer.” He is in jail at Baltimore charged with stabbing a gambler named Berry Amos to death. Somebody who knows McDonald tells the news- papers a short story of his short life, as follows :— His father was a millionnaire of baltimore, and had two children, Sam and a daughter. Sam was sent to England to be educated, and returned an ac- complished and splendfd looking young~ man, fatner died scon after Sam’s return with an edu- cation and polished manners, and this event was | shortly followed by Sam's twenty-first birthday, when he came into possession of a vast property. The birthday was celebrated at the elegant family | mansion near Baltimore, Sam invited all the city fellows to see him attain his majority, and there was the most sumptuous private festival ever given in the city of Baltimore. Among other | outiandish specialties there were fountains con- | structed to spout champagne and an illumination that looked, a mile off, like a fire. The whole thing was a fire just beginning to consume an estate and burn out @ young and vigorous life, , The revelry lasted a}) night, and after this there were Often revelries by night and oblivious sleop by day. The house was awake only at nignt, be- cause it did not dare to look at the damage that daylight would have revealed, In © year or two Sam McDonald made a trip West with some of the city fellows. Of course they were on a big spree. In the vicinity of Terre Haute, Ind., McDonald bought a farm and siocked it with fancy stock. He called it h's hunting lodge, and he and the city fellows hanted on the prairies and flied the farm house with the worst kind of scandals, The good people of Terre Haute would bave nothing to do with Sam McDonald and his farm after they found him out. Thus Sam became ai out. cast in his luxury and magnificence, They say he spent at least $150,000 the first year he was at Terre Hante. That sort of thing could not last forever, uniess there were correspondin, profits coming in from some other quarter. Bu there were none. The whole fortune was enlisted in dissipation, and it is supposed was nearly all goue. Sam McDonald lately visited Baltimore to Bee some Of the old city fellows who had not parti- cipated in his recent prodigalitie: He found sake of them, and he and two companions were ogether and alone in a saloon at two o'clock in the morning. Une of the fellows was Berry Amos, ‘There had been no quarre! or unpleasant words, Probably Bam had never killed a man and wanted to see u he could. He had done almost everything else, He took a long knife out of his pocket and walked up to his friend and stabbed him to the heart without a word, This ia the way in which Sam McDonald ceased to be A miilionnaire and be- came & murderer at twenty-five, FATAL CABRIAGE AOCIDENT, Coroner Woltman was yesterday called to No, 23 West Washington place to hoid an inquest over the remains of Mrs, Lavina Post, a lady sixty-four years of age and a native of Now York, who died from compound fracture of the ankle and other in- juries received about ten days ago in consequence of being thrown from @ carriage to the pavement corner of Curistopher street and Waveriey piace, caused by the horse, driven by her sou, Vabiog irlaut and becoming unmanageable, His | | tissues it poisons the neryous system.
