Tue Tvnr iN Encuanp is the subject of an interesting letter in the Heraup this morn- ing. Caprary Bocanvvs, whose skill in pigeon shooting has created so great a sensation in England, defeated another antagonist on the eve of his return to this country.

Tne Arrrats in the Tweed six million suit may be argued in the Supreme Court, Gen- eral Term, to-day. The question never tomes up without a display of legal sparring, and unless counsel forbear on this occasion the argument may go over until October. It is too much to expect, we presume, that this case will be acted upon and disposed of as amy other cause would be heard and | decided.

But on a Southern policy they are still all at sea, General Grant holds to one view and | the Vice President to another; Mr, Blaine | probably agrees, in the main, with Mr. Wil- | son; Mr. Conkling and Mr. Frelinghuysen agree with the President. What General Lo- gan thinks everybody knows, and what Sen- ator Morton believes he plainly spoke out in | Ohio, when he gave nearly the whole of his speech to this question, which does not enter | into the canvass in Ohioat all, and on which, | there is reason to believe, a majority of the | republicans in Ohio flatly disagree with him. | It is very plain that the republican leaders | have not yet settled upon a Southern policy, | and it is quite possible that they may fail to do so, or that the extremists may succeed in getting the upper hand and control. party, but to the country; for the American people will hardly give their support to a | party which looks to continuing the extreme | and perilous policy toward the South- | ern States which has been followed up to the present time.

It would certainly bea deplorable and uncomfortable thing to see | an inflation party at the head of the federal government, Its victory at the polls alone would derange and injure the public credit very seriously; but an inflation President and Congress, if we could imagine such | athing, could not do very great harm. The | rst streets— | attempt to pay off the bonds with paper | engaged seeking out a candidate to run for would encounter an immediate appeal to the ALL, h Obeta—PRINCESS OF | Supreme Court, whose decision would not be | eral Hartranft.

The | inflation leaders in Ohio and other Western States are, in fact, committing a fraud upon the people; they are playing a confidence | game; for most of them have brains enough to | see that they could not do what they promzise. The Southern policy is, therefore, of more real and vital importance than the financial issue. And here, while the democrats do | not promise any coherent and positive policy, | it is still certain that they would give relief | to the Southern States, and thus to the coun- | try at large. We believe that they would do | this in a bungling way; for they would be, in respect to the South, largely under the | control of Southern men, who are not always wise, and who are naturally somewhat inca- | pable of a deliberate diagnosis of the dis- | ease from which they are suffering.

They did pass the Civil Rights bill, which is not only a dead letter in the South, but has destroyed the re- publican party in several Southern States.

Most of the leading city churches remain closed, and, while the pastors are in the | mountains or by the seaside, worshippers are going to the parks and groves instead of the costly fashionable temples, In Brook- | lyn yesterday about eight hundred people gathered in Lefferts’ Park, where services | were held under the leadership of Deacon O'Donnell. At,the Sing Sing camp ground there were meetings in the prayer tents and the Rev. George Lansing Taylor preached | a sermon, The day was a memorial day | for the dead, and the discourse was | designed to be one of comfort for those who | have friends in the other world, At Ocean | Grove there was an immense gathering, and the camp meeting, which began on Tuesday last, according to our report this morning yesterday reached the height of its exciting | fervor, A love feast was the feature of the | day, as a colored lady, known as Sister | Sarah, ‘told her experience.” The occasion was rich in incident and interest. There | were, besides, open air meetings in | Jersey City and other places, and | the woods were vocal with the sounds of | praise. In the few instances where the metropolitan churches were open the attend- | ance was slight, and we have no reports of | noteworthy services except in the Reformed church at Port Richmond, 8. L, where the Rev. Dr. Brownlee celebrated the forty years of his pastorate, and in the Fourth Methodist | Episcopal church in Brooklyn, E. D., where | the Rey. Oscar Hugo attacked the Pope as an “old fox” and a murderer, A more silly per- formance than this of Mr. Hugo's has not | come under our notice in a long time, and if his discourse is a specimen of what the church affords in these dull summer days it is best to await more bracing ai for the camp meetings accomplish no wther good, they at least entice people into breathing the fresh air, and the city man who fills his lungs with this is apt to find sermons in stones, books in the running brooks and -good in everything. The Canvass in Pennsylvania, ‘The democrats of Pennsylvania are busily Governor against the present incumbent, Gen- feat General Hartranft. His record has been | acceptable to fair men of all parties. At the | same time we should be glad to have a change of politics in Pennsylvania, if for no other | reason than that the rumors in reference to | the management of the State Treasury and | the use of money in legislation might be in- | vestigated. In every well managed business | it is prudent to have achange of bookkeepers | | from time to time. In every free government | it is well to have a change of officers. We | observe that among the gentlemen mentioned for the democratic nomination for the Gov- | ernorship is Mr. Bigler, who has been for some months past the agent for the Centen- nial Exhibition. Mr. Bigler was Governor of Pennsylvania a quarter of a cen- tury ago, and afterward a Senator in | Congress. Since the war he has been | in private life. He has done good | work for the Centennial, and we think it would be a mistake for him to withdraw from it now and enter into politics. He will open himself to the charge of having used the | Centennial for political aggrandizement. This work is so great and so national that every | person connected with it in a prominent | capacity should resolve under no temptation | to have any connection with politics. Gov- | ernor Bigler would be a much better dem- | ocratie candidate for even higher dignities at | the end of the Centennial if it is a success | than if he should now throw away the work | he has done and take himself from its active | prosecution to run foran office which he ,held twenty-five years ago, and which we | think could have very little charm for him. | Keep the Centennial aloof from politics, Once its officers begin to canvass for votes upon what they have done for this national exhibition and it will lose character, Nor So Bap.—While there are a good many | people out of work it would seem that in this State, at least, those who are employed | are able to lay by money. The statement of the New York savings banks, just made for July 1, shows not only that these institutions | are in a sound condition, holding twenty millions more assets than they owe, but what | is of equal importance, the gain in deposits | in the last six monghs since January 1 is over twelve millions of dollars and the increase in the number of depositors is thirty-six thou- | sand, This last feature is especially gratify- | ing, for it proves that the deposits are in the main by people in moderate circumstances and are really savings. The increase in deposits for the six months is the largest | since 1872. It is an excellent and encour- aging showing. | Tur Governorsurp in Gronota.—It is re- | ported that Alexander H.

We present this morning an exceedingly interesting chapter on Indian affairs in the letter of our correspondent from the Red Cloud Agency. ‘The narrative recounts everything accomplished by the Commis- sioners to investigate Profess Marsh's charges up to the 12th of Augui, and it is perhaps the best summary of the situation which has yet been published. In every particular it is full and complete. For the first time the personnel of an Indian council is as thoroughly described as would be a powwow of the braves in Tammany Hall, and we have the speeches of Red Cloud and Little Wound as fully reported as we had those of the O'Kelly and O'Costigan in the General Committee. It will be observed that the accusations of the Indians, if not very specific, are in excellent temper and well worthy the attention of the Commission- ers and the country. There is a mine of practical wisdom in Red Cloud's desire for an agent who is not a soldier or a preacher, but an old man with a little gray hair on his If the Commissioner of Indian Affairs had appointed such a man in the place of Agent Saville long ago much of the mis- inanagement and corruption at the Red Cloud Agency might have been avoided, That there are practical difficulties in the way of serving the Indians well must be conceded, whoever may be the agent under whom the issues are mado; but there will be long and loud complaints unless this of- ficer is himself above suspicion and zealous to protect both the government and the Indians. That the Sioux have suffered great wrongs at the hands of the contractors and others is too clear for doubt, and whatever may be the force of Agent Saville’s answer (which is included in our correspondents letter), it is certain that he failed in protecting either the government or the Indians. It is not likely, from what the Commissioners have heard since they have been in the Indian country, that they will be able to acquit any of the accused officials. Agent Saville, Commis- sioner Smith and Secretary Delano have all | failed in their duty, and the least they can do is to vacate their offices in behalf of better and more capable men, This necessity is still further enforced and illustrated by the letter of Mr, Welsh, which we also print this morning. In this pungent letter the Secre- tary of the Interior is arraigned with terrible | force, and Mr. Delano is charged with having knowledge of the frauds of which there are just now such loud complaints. The whole subject is one of the greatest importance, and the controversy must be settled in a way alike just to the Indians and honorable to the nation. To Ohio Farmers and Mechanics. “Governor Allen and his fellow democrats are goihg about Ohio telling the mechanics and farmers that what is needed is ‘more money,” an inflation of the currency, more irredeemable promises to pay dollars. They do not tell them how ‘“‘more money” of this kind is to be got into the pockets of the me- chanics and farmers, nor, indeed, into any- body else’s pockets. They are promising | what they know they cannot perform. In upon the people they address. If Governor Allen were President to-day, and General Carey Secretary of the Treasury, and the Hon. William D. Kelley superintendent of | the government shinplaster mill, all three | together could not get ont a single cent | “more money,” could not inflate the cur- | rency to the amount of a dime, unless they got up a foreign war or did something else | to create expenditures beyond the revenues. They might spend their days and nights | over the paper mill and the greenback presses, and might fill the Treasury building with greenbacks ; but for what are they to pay them out, unless they run the country | into some costly war or other enterprise? “Oh, but they might pay off the bonds with greenbacks.” True enough; they might cheat the nation’s creditors—the ‘bloated bond- holders.” Well, let us see who would suffer first. Almost every provident farmer and thrifty mechanic in these days insures his life. Now, the life insurance companies in- vest their means very largely in United States bonds. When they pay losses they pay them out of the proceeds of such bonds. Pay off the bonds in greenbacks, make them worthless, that is to say, and you break every life insurance company in the coun- try. The companies in this State alone hold over twenty-two millions of such bonds. The mere threat to destroy their value impairs the security on which every insured person depends as a provision for his wife and children in case of his death. What brilliant statesmen these Ohio democrats are to per- suade the people to cheat their widows and orphans ! Again, farmers and mechanics are the most numerons depositors in the savings banks of the country. But the savings banks aiso in- vost their depogits largely in United States bonds. Make these worthless and you ‘break every savings bank in the country; you rob every depositor of his savings. In this State alone the savings banks hold nearly fifty- eight millions of United States bonds. In Ohio they hold also a great many millions. But these Ohio democratic statesmen want these ‘bloated bondholders” paid off in farmers and mechanics to swindle themselves out of their hard-earned savings. It seems | a pity not to elect such brilliant statesmen, .—The gentle- Cupan Brockapr Ru ington are extremely solicitous abont | anything which might offend the sensi- bilities of Spanish officials.

The buoys | be ont of their place, to the danger of the commerce and the disgrace of | ithe nation, and Washington officials | | will smoke their pipes in peace: and quaff the | generous champagne heedless of the appeals | of the American public. But let a Spanish | detective in New York declare that the most innocent craft that ever floated on the waters is about to carry a few pounds of powder to the Cuban insurgents and official Washing- ton becomes active as if by magic. We wonder how it happens, We wish the Span- ish detectives would let us into the secret of managing our officials. Negro Outbreaks. We advise the Southern democrats to be a little careful about falling into a trap which invites them cheerfully to a very fatal blun- der, They have a dread of negro outbreaks, which remains to them from the old slavery times. A rumor of negro insurrection stirs up the Southern whites and makes every young fellow who owns a shotgun rush ont in wild excitement to help in quelling it. ‘Thus we are informed that the other day, in Georgia, the Governor having refuséd to order out the militia companies in Augusta, many of the members of these organizations promptly went out skirmishing on their own account, The hollowness of the pretence on which this “insurrection” story was started is explained in our correspondent's letter from Augusta, printed elsewhere. Now, there are not going to be any negro insurrections, ‘The negro is now free; he has nothing to gain by an insurrection ; he isa timid and tolerably helpless creature, who, as every Southern man knows, has not even the capacity to organize politically without white helpers and leaders, and who is as capable of flying as he is of plotting and organizing an insurrection. When, therefore, the Southern democrat hears about a negro in- surrection we advise him to put his tongue in his cheek and leave his shotgun on the rack where it belongs. There are republican demagogues who would like nothing so well as to see a massacre of colored men between now and the Presidential election, There have been already some abortive attempts to ‘fire the Northern heart,” and there will be more, A few Coushatta affairs would delight Senator Morton and other republican politi- cians of that kind, and there are republicans in the South who would not seruple to grat- ify them. The Governor of Mississippi stands at this present moment openly ac- cused by a republican of saying last year that the blood of a few black men spilled by democrats would help to revive the repub- lican party. There will be no negro insur- rections. Let the Southern democrats deal justly and kindly with the negroes, and when they hear of a black outbreak let them stay carefully indoors and remember that some Southern republicans are likely to “materialize” in that way about this time. ‘What May Take Place. We note in one of our telegraphic columns, buried modestly among less important de- spatches, that there has been a controversy in a neighboring town between the Irish and the Italians. In order that the story may be properly understood we reprint it in full:—‘‘Serious trouble is threatened at Dan- vers owing to jealousy between the Irish and Italian laborers on the new hospital. About sixty of the Italians made a raid this morning on the Irish boarding house, damaging the interior considerably and driving the occn- No one was injured.” The gather from this transaction lesson we | we cannot too earnestly impress upon our ew York rulers, those descendants of the Trish kings who, by the grace of God, are permitted to control the destinies of New York. So long as these monarchs continue harmonious there is no trouble about New York. We area docile people and loyal to authority. Once that we see above us the O'Morrissey and the O'Kelly and the O’Creamer and the O'Murphy, and feel that these representatives of the great rulers of a far distant past are united, we accept the situ- ation. We pay the taxes. We goon from year to year acquiescent, submissive, thankful for the many blessings that are vouchsafed to us and yielding to no people in our reverence for the law and its ministers. But the dis- sensions that have for the last few months arisen in the councils of these imperial rulers will result in the same state of affairs that we note in Danvers. Tue Tramp Nursance, like the power of King George, ‘thas increased, is increasing and ought to be diminished;” and some ex- tracts which we print elsewhere show that the country people and authorities in several States are taking the matter in hand. It is high time; for most of these “sturdy beg- gars” are only thieves and highwaymen thinly disguised, whom a threat of employment will drive away. Hard work is the last thing they want. Let the vagrant laws which exist in most of the States be sharply enforced, and let the people in a country neighborhood turn out promptly to capture and punish the first thief or robber who comes among them; and the tramps will disappear. If anywhere there is a number of persons out of employ- ment and actually willing to work organi- zations can be casily formed to send them to parts of the country where laborers are necded. ‘The Southern States need working- men, and thousands can there find constant and remunerative employment at this very time. There are many enterprises suffering there for lack of laborers, Tue Conresston or Jack CANTER, one of the most noted convicts ever imprisoned at Sing Sing, which reaches us from Philadelphia this morning, is arcmarkable commentary on the management of our State Prison. The worst feature about this story is that it is probably true. We have long feared that an exposure of this kind would be made public sooner or later, and we are not surprised that it comes from such a source as that from which this Canter confession emanates, Governor Tilden must give the matter his earliest conside ChIME seems just now to be in its carnival time. Within the last few days murders have been unusually frequent, to which our columns this morning bear too ample testi- mony. Among the many crimes which it is our duty to chronicle none is more remarkable than the deadly assault by a burglar upon Mr. Noe, in Greenwich street. In this case there is a great similarity to the Nathan murder, a “dog” being the burglar's weapon, and the details are as terrible as it is possible to conceive, A citizen was as- sailed, robbed and left to die in his store, and, as usual, the police are without a clew to the perpetrator of the crime, Rival Hamlets. Theatrical managers are notoriously reclt less in the means by which they advertise their attractions. It is, however, rarely that we find men wicked enough to call up 4a spirit dangerous to the public peace and calculated to lead to the most deplorable results for the sake of injnring a rival manager. We regret to notice that an attempt of this nature is to be made on next Monday evening, the occasion being the simultaneous appearance of two actors, one an American, the other an Irishman, in the réle of Hamlet, at rival houses in this city. The arrival of Mr. Barry Sullivan in this city was seized upon by his managers and friends as tho occasion of a demonstration marked not by the best taste. We then expressed our opinion very strongly of the patent humbug and charlatanism which had been needlessly brought into play to puff an artist whose well known merit rendered a resort tosuch meang of creating interest in him unnecessary, That Mr, Sullivan happens to be an Irish« man is really of no importance to the American public, although it may be a sourea of gratification to his fellow countrymen. The proposed demonstration to him is, however, engineered by Americans simply as a matter of business. In fact, the reception and torchlight procession ar¢ merely to be taken as indications that the spirit of Barnum still animates the American showman, But the demonstration proposed at the Grand Opera House is more serious in its aspect. It appeals to the spirit whick produced the Astor riots and stained tha streets of this city with blood. Mr. E. Le Davenport certainly does not need the assist+ ance of a cast ‘‘wholly American” to make his impersonation of Hamlet interesting. It is rumored, also, that an American regiment will take part in the Davenport demonstra« tion as a counterpoise to the appearance of the Sixty-ninth at Booth’s. In view of tha danger of creating ill will among the citi« zens of Irish birth and native born Ameri« cans by these rival demonstrations, their gete ters-up ought to weigh well the consequences before proceeding further. If not, the result will certainly damage the theatres, as decent people will be likely to avoid both housed and give the rival Hamlets an opportunity to soliloquize on the uncertainty of charlatans ism. The Third Term “Mummy.” The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin thinks* that the third term sensation is so dead that “A door nail is in a condition of frolicsome animation compared with it. It would be ag easy to galvanize an Egyptian mummy back to life and to run it as a democratic candi- date for the Presidency as to give this worn« out piece of foolishness any new vitality.” The Evening Bulletin is a “loyal” journal, but it allows its devotion to the administration to close its eyes to the sunlight. If the third term is dead why does everybody talk about it? If it is simply a ‘anummy” why does President Grant's letter leave the door open for him to become again a candidate? Why has no convention pronounced absolutely against it? Why do not State conventions bring out their own candidates for the Presi« dency? Notasingle republican leader hag been nominated for the Presidency in any State, except General Hartranft in Pennsyle vania, and that is admitted to have been an idle compliment. Unless the republican party and its leaders take definite ground against the third term by making one term a cardinal point in their platform the issue will be the dominant question in our politics, not only in this election, but in many elec« tions yet to come, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Rey.
