M. “nd arriving at Saratoga at nine o'clock ww. M., for the purpose of supplying the Bunpay Heraxp along the line.

Tee Wrrtams Picxics ror Poor Crn- pwuen.—Everybody will rejoice to see by the statement of accounts that this admirable charity is in a thriving condition. Rather more than seven hundred dollars was spent on the first picnic, and this ft enough in the treasury for at least two more. Yesterday the second one was given, and the third, we sup- | pose, willecome soon. Keep it up! It is an excellent use for the spare cash of the public. A Case or Astatic CHoxera is reported from Louisville. The probabilities are that the disease was not cholera, but its fatal character ought to serve as 8 warning against summer diseases of every kind. Cleanliness is the first condition of health in city or country; but we | re afraid this law of life has not been ob- | served in the metropolis. The attention of | the Board of Health and of the Police should | be directed to the sanitary condition of the | city without delay. Tuk Moxmovrn Park Races have proved a | fatality to racing horses. On the first day of | the meeting Tammany and Victor were so | badly hurt that they had to be killed.

The logic of these results seoms to be an argument against the severe tests to which most of our fast horses are put. | Yesterday's races closed the first summer meeting, which, thongh very successful, will | long be remembered for the singular feature | we have just remarked. | Tux Cupan Compromimsx Quesrioy. prominent Cubans in New York, them those who have been spoken of as ready to compromise with Spain, protest energet- | ically against any compromise short of the absolute independence of Cuba, and deny that they or any of the chiefs in power have proposed or listened to overtures to yield their independence. The truth is, the Cubans bave no faith in the Spaniards and feel certain that there is no hope or safety for them but in absolute independence. They would bardly be disposed to accept the guarantee of the United States for the performance of Spanish promises as long as the present Secretary of State remains in office. We are assured that nothing but the freedom of Cuba will be ac- ceptable to the patriots, and that they will fight to obtain this to the bitter end. ~The | and among | that there can be any better method of govern- ment in a free country than by responsible | political parties. Party lines will again be strictly drawn in this city, and for some years | tocome. Until recent lessons have been for- gotten there will be-no respectable attempt to secure efficient honesty by loosening party | ties and confusing party responsibility. Our | municipal administration has never so sig- | mally failed to command public respect as under the misgnided attempts to separate it from party politics. Tweed was ‘damned to everlasting fame’’ by his conngetion with the | old Board of Supervisors, The stupendous disclosures of 1871 merely unveiled the in- iquities perpetrated by that Board, The swindling accounts had its sanction and were ordered to be paid by its vote. Now, what was the organization of that corrupt concern ? It was a strict no-party organization, an act of the Legislature passed in 1857 dividing the members of that body eqnally between the two political parties in the pretended interest of fairness aud purity. It was said that a Board consisting of six demoeratic and six re- publican supervisors would be so eqnally bal- anced that neither party could’ pervert its ac- tion to partisan ends, overlooking this great danger that a small knot of men thus shielded from party vigilance and criticism would abuse their powers to enrich themselves by cheating the city. That no-party Board be- gan by bunting small game. Success in- creased its boldness, and the building of the Harlem Bridge and the New Court House furnished occasions for swindles of constantly growing magnitude until the corruption be- | came at last gigantic. But it was all a direct | consequence of separating a great money- spending and debt-incurring branch of gov- ernment from party politics. The ‘‘reform’’ movement which followed is an equally con- | Spicuous failure of the same kind. | If Mayor Havemeyer had been elected by | one of the great political parties he could not | have committed the series of blunders and fol- | lies which have brought him to the verge of | suspension and removal. Party taes are a | strong curb on personal whims and crotchets. | Party leaders are generally shrewd men and practised judges of what public opinion will bear. Their habit of acting together and doing nothing without mutual consultation gives them effective control over such members of the | organization as they permit to hold office, since important official acts are seldom done | without the advice and concurrence of trusted leaders. When to this parties aro animated by a high purpose, and wiil select \ the best men for nomination, such men, let | Us say, as John K. Hackett, our present exem- plary Recorder, and William Butler Duncan, | they become necessary elements of republican | government, True reform consists in the | reform of parties, for there can be no | reform without party. There is great | safety in party arrangement against the individual folly of office-holders. It is | the beneficial function of political parties to keep a sharp eye on each other's mistakes, and discredit their opponents by exposing and magnifying their blunders and corrap- tions and making capital of them in the elec- tions. When parties are so nearly balanced ‘that a small proportion of the votes will change the result of an election their mutual watchtulness is the surest check on abuses of power; and it is accordingly a great public misfortune for one party to be so overwhelm- ingly strong as the republican party has been for many years in the nation and as the democratic party was in this city previous to the overthrow of the Ring. But even when parties are unequally matched there is no safer way than to keop party lines strictly drawn and to hold each responsible to the people for its discharge of public trasts. Whe a strong party abuses its power, as strong parties commonly do, its opponents only need to unite patience with vigor to build up their own organization on the ruins of their erring antagonist. Weak as the tory party of Eugland has been a great part of the time during tue last twonty years it is now in possession of the government in consequence of its persistent steadiness. The democratic party of this country never made a greater mistake than when it accepted the candi- date of the Cincinnati Convention in 1872 and dishonored and disgusted the old | | party pride. Had it succeeded with so pronounced a republican as Greeley | as its candidate it might have had as unfortunate an experience as has befallen the republicans of thia city, who united with the so-called reformers to clect Mr. Have- meyer. Of course neither Grecley nor any other able and sane man could have been as crotchety and foolish as poor Havemeyer ; but the circumstances of his election, had he been elected and lived, would have freed him | from responsibility to the democratic leaders, | who would probably have been kept in such a fluiter as is experienced by an honest hen | that has hatched a brood of ducks whose | instincts she cannot control Mr. Greeley as Prisident would not have been amenable to | democratic advice, and with the most honest intention on his part, for he was essentially an | cipal affairs have thus been brought by the | misnamed reform movement will have one | wholesome effect if it explodes the delusion than one, and a public officer who has only his own head to guide him is certain to get stranded by viewing things from the stand- point of his fancied personal interest, on the same principle that a lawyer who is foolish enough to argue his own case, or a physician who in a dangerous disease prescribes tor himself or his own family, is pretty sure to blunder. John Adams’ administration was a failure, because, although a stiff federalist, he was too headstrong to take counsel ot the party leaders. Havemeyer's grotesque and astounding | blunders are the freshest illustrations of the | impossibility of even tolerable government without the steadying influence of a respon- sible party organization. If Judge Lawrence, the democratic candidate, had been elected Mayor in 1872 he would have administered the office with ability and efficiency, because, in addition to his admirable personal qualifi- cations, he would have recognized his respon- sibility to the party that elected him, and would have done no important act outside the regular routine of his office without confiden- tial consultation with the cool, judicious and able men who study the bearing of every event on the prospects of party success, which is dependent upon the spontaneous verdict of popular good sense, guided by the public journals, The universal derision which has overtaken Havemeyer will restore party gov- ernment and party responsibility in this city, to the great advantage of the community. | Party will come to power reformed and puri- fied, with some such candidate for Mayor as William Butler Duncan or Recorder Hackett. Party is never stronger than in thus repre- senting the best wishes and hopes of the | community. Party government is, indeed, liable to abuses, but they are as nothing in comparison with the personal whims and ab- surd headiness of officers who are not amenable to responsible party adv: Pulpit Topics To-Day. As the summer season advances it begins to | tell upon the churches of the city, not only as | to members but also as to pulpit power and | eloquence. Laxity and dulness appear to take the place of vigorous thought and earnest utterance. And we incline to the opinion that the churches would do well to give all their pastors vacations during those warm months, and in their absence conduct prayer or con- ference or praise meetings, in which all could join and be interested. A few of the brilliant | preachers can go and enjoy the sea or moun- tain air, but the majority must stay here plod- ding and toiling and broiling in the city’s caldron, and using up vital energy that might better be reserved for more favorable days. Rev. Mr. Harley, of Savan- nah, Ga., comes to us today to tell us how to look at the unseen things and how to find a lost piece of silver—in other words | how to receive the kingdom of heaven into our hearts here and be received with it here- afier. The Scripture writers use very strange, simple, beautiful figures of speech in recom- mending the Christian life. For instance, Paul tells some of his congregations to ‘put | on the Lord Jesus Christ,” and Mr. Rossiter will give the same advice tu-day to his church. And being thus clothed upon with the life and the righteousness of Christ, a ‘‘victory over sin,’ a8 the same divine will show us, is of easy accomplishment. This, too, will make ‘the Christian Man” of which Mr. Northrup will speak this afternoon, and will be the best guarantee that every Christian thus panoplied will of necessity “Speak well of God,’' as Dr. Deems will show to be the individual duty of every man, but which is too often neglected by Christians in these days, and. those of the opposite sort delight to blaspheme the holy | name by which we are called. Mr. Corbitt will present some illustrations of the “Power of Christ’s Resurrection."’ This reverend loves to dwell among the tombs and in the graveyards and to contemplate the grand reunions of broken families of earth. In contrast with the unstable props of this world he will point to ‘‘the rock that is higher than” man, whither the Psalmist inclined to ropair when his heart was overwhelmed within | him with sorrow. And thither may every | sorrowing soul flee for refuge and support. Even business men may find shelter there when life becomes weary and burdensome. Dr. Miller will treat of “Shadows of Business Life” this morning, and will show how to convert the shadow into the substance by | making the divine a partner and participator | in all our business transactions as well as in | sil our religious duties. And thus will the | pulpits of this city to-day speak to the hearts | and consciences of the people who through the heat and oppressiveness of the weather may yet seek comfort and peace in the Lord's honse. | | Tux Vice Pueswxncy.—There is a rumor | that comes from the National Republican—a | of this rumor; | Wilson is, we deeply regret jof such a character that to say, his use- | department is at an end. Rowing and the Regattas. On next Thursday the intercollegiate regatta will be rowed at Saratoga. The race is one that always attracts much attention, and this year it is likely to inspire more en- thusiasm, if possible, than in the past. An excellent course has been chosen for the con- test. The place selected is the fashionable centre of the country. Youth and beauty and fashion will do as much to attract visitors as the race itself. Then the crews, composed, as they are, of manly, athletic young fellows from our principal seats of learning, will do much toward enticing youth and beauty and fashion to Saratoga. The belles will go to see the college boys, and beaux will tollow the belles. ‘The young men with fine manners and par- ticularly well skilled in the imitation of femi- nine graces will find, however, that they have dangerous rivals in the young musclemen from the colleges, Until the regatta is over the college youths will allow the poor fellows without muscle to have everything their own way except on the course; but some of the crews are as certain to run away with the hearts of the girls as they are to row away from their weaker compotitors. Then the poor chaps who havo despised athletic sports will begin to bewail the misfortune of flaccid arms and undeveloped chests. As their hearts expand and get ready to burst they will find that their miserable bodies cannot withstand so much emotion. They may even go into training before the next season to prevent the too great triumphs of the college crews, This would be a result particularly desirable among the young men who frequent Saratoga. Most of them would not require the waters if they took more exercise and showed a little more devotion to muscular Christianity. The great good resulting trom the annual regattas is in the impetus it gives to physical culture. The college races are an encouragement to manly sports where there can be no overtraining. Itis only the professional oarsman who overtrains. There may be a tendency toward it in the se- vere regunen and exertion just previous to a race, but in this there is no danger of broken constitutions. The preparatory steps are slow and gradual. After the regatta there is com- plete relaxation—no more training during the season for another race. In this fact we may, perhaps, find a lesson for our Harlem navy. There are too many races on the river—in o word, there is too much boating enthusiasm. If the clubs are constantly to test their strength, and to invite, besides, matches with distant organizations, as was the case yesterday in the race between the Atalantas and the Argonautas, of New Jersey, they will soon become protes- sional, and rowing will be degraded into a business, as base ball has been. Nothing will so surely bring into disrepute ond utterly de- stroy amateur rowing as too much racing. The example of the collegians in having only one regatta ina year is wel] worth imitation, for it affords all the necessary encouragement to amateur rowing and does not imporil it by provoking professional rivalries or overwork. “Covering Pals.” The suits against the old Ring officials and their accomplices should long since have been brought to trial. ‘‘Reform” made « muddle of them in the first instance and continues to dally with them without any serious attempt to prosecute them toan end. They are kept hanging on for the purpose of making po- | litical capital out of them at each election, by raising o cry for their ‘vigorous prosecu- tion.” It sounds a little absurd to talk about vigorously prosecuting suiis against public robbers nearly three years after they have been commenced and just as the legal lu- minaries who volunteered to conduct them have discovered that their law has left them flaton their backs and that they have vir- tually to commence over again. Nevertheless, the people will insist that the money of which the city has been plundered shall be recovered if possible, and will not patiently suffer the robbers to escape with their booty. At the same time we must not suffer the renewed outcry for a ‘‘vigorous prosecution” of the old offenders which is certain to be raised about election time to divert attention from the fact that prosecutions are demanded for more recent offenders, The charges against the Mayor are in good hands, und Governor Dix will see to it that they are thoroughly investigated. The official com- munication addressed to the Mayor yesterday shows that the Governor regards them as of a grave character, and appreciates the neces- sity of prompt and firm action. If it shall be found that the Mayor has been guilty of such misconduct in office as will warrant his re- sured that they will be relicved of _Mr. Have- meyer very speedily. But then we have other charges against the old Police Commis- sioners, which should be prosecuted, not only in relation to alleged violations Election laws, but to misfeasances of o different character. The ‘arregniar’ practices of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction must not be lost sight of simply becauye one of the Commis- sioners is a Drummond light of reform and the other an influential politician. Above all, it may become necessary to inquire why the Comptroller, with an army of well paid “ex- perts,” investigators, examiners and spies at good authority on administration questions— | his back, has paid ‘‘irregnlar’’ bills of that that Vice President Wilson, on account of | department, and whether bills for supplies | continual ill health, proposes to resign his | purchased in direct violation of the charter office.

Those of our religious contemporaries who last week refrained from commenting on this now famous scandal, in the hope that some- thing might be said on the other side ere this that would go far to relieve the su:picious circumstances which surround the case, have this week taken hold of it in such style as the several editors deemed most suited to their moval the people of New York may rest as- | of the | Tar Usnvry Sperm is AgKansas,— Now | bulence. comes a painful ramor from Arkansas that the | All experience shows that we have never late civil strife in that unhappy State is to be renewed.

The Christian Advocate, after a careful review of all the facts, demands, ‘in the name of the pulpit and the religious press of the country, of our common religion and of Christian decency, that the light of day be poured into this dark chamber of iniquity, that we may know who are the innocent sufferers and who the guilty defamers or the equally guilty—something else. The course thus far pursued, if it is to be persisted in,” the Advocate thinks, ‘is the worst possible for all parties. Its success would be a blight upon everything usually held sacred."’ The Hvangelist tries to explain Mr. Beecher’s confession to Tilton “as merely the se!f-con- demning spirit of » sensitive conscience which sometimes magnifies a slight offence into a great crime.’’ But it admits that some other explanation should be given, since the words as they stand leave a very pain- ful impression. And this explanation, it thinks, should be given without delay, for not but the name that is above every other name suffers by being dragged into the dustin the person of its representatives, and interests are human reputation, however great or splendid. Mr. Beecher or his friends should therefore speak out boldly and at once. The Methodist, adopting a suggestion of the Congregationalist, thinks that a private com- mittee might investigate this matter with closed doors and give the result to the public. The Congregationalist suggests that ex-Presi- dents Woolsey and Hopkins and Hon. W. A. Buckingham and such men, in whose Chris- tian integrity and character every one has confidence, might, if Mr. Beecher consented operate on the other, soon and forever set this matter at rest. The Methodist fully indorses these suggestions and expresses its surprise that Mr. Beecher should ‘‘live month after month with a rope round his neck and Mr. Tilton all the while pulling at the other end.” The Baltimore Hpiscopal Methodist thinks it is plain that either Beecher or Tilton is a great criminal, Either Beecher is guilty of the un- characterized offence of which he is accused, or Tilton is a vile slanderer and torger. The whole matter, it thinks, hinges on the letter which Tilton claims Beecher wrote, and Mr. Beecher should call on Tilton to produce that letter. If it cannot be produced, or if it can be shown to be @ forgery, Beecher is vindi- cated. This journal justifies Dr. Bacon's policy in provoking this latest exposure ; for, it adds, ‘if Mr. Beecher is a wolf in sheep's clothing he ought to be cauyht and im- pounded as soon as possible.’’ Of the rest our country and city religious exchanges are alike silent on this great scan- dal. Mr. Beecher’s own paper, the Christian Union, devotes its editorial thought to the revealing day—tho Day of Judgment—which it treats from a philosophical rather than a Scriptural standpoint. It has no reference to his letter asking for an investigation, of which the other journals at the time of writ- ing were doubtless ignorant. The Independent, Intelligencer and Observer show laxity of | thought, superinduced, no doubt, by the heat | of the weather. The Catholic and Jewish press have not labored their columns nor dis- gusted their readers with references or de tails of this unhallowed controversy, believ- ing that the secular press had fully attended to the matter. They, therefore, this week deal with topics which relate mainly, if not wholly, to affairs connected with their re- spective denominational interests, such as the pilgrimage, the Pope's latest allocutions, edu- cation, religious liberty and summer recrea- i their way.
