fornia politics are in an intangible shape. | Monopoly, politics, hope and courage are mingled in an exasperating way. Senator Sargent, who some time ago announced his intention of retiring to private life at the ind of his term, is very little criticised by fhe press of his State, in which he is known a quiet man; and central committees give ommands in local politics there. The Oak- ind News, which appeals to some of the best atizens of San Francisco who sleep in Oak- nd, claims to have been the first newspaper raise the banner of Charles Francis Adams. Tiis true that Adams would give California back to the republicans. : The Cab War. When are we to have the cheap cabs promised us by the American District Tele- graph Company? is a question frequently asked by those interested in the movement against our present outrageous hack system. That there is a field for cheap cabs there san be no question, and, that fact granted, there appears to be no good reason for any extended delay in the appearance of cheap sabs. While the Hack Owners’ Association sre quarrelling with the ‘‘privileged” pwners, and they are both crying for com- missioners and inspectors, the District Tele- graph Company should cut the ground from under their feet and solve the entire prob- lem by putting on our pavements a suffi- cient number of light, cheap running cabs to do the work in hand. It only requires the advent of the “‘Telegraph” cabs to prove how great is the demand for such vehicles, and with them will come acorresponding re- duction in the rates for the hacks now in use. Since the first announcement by the Dis- trict Telegraph officials that they contem- plated increasing their business and enlarg- ing the scope of their usefulness to the pub- lic by inaugurating cheap cabs we have heard nothing more from them. Can it be possible that the “privileged” owners, with their proposed cab com- missioners, have frightened the. com- pany? Are all their promises to be broken? We trust not, for the need is so great, the opening fora profitable branch of business so striking, that it would be diffi- tult to understand how any company already snjoying the confidence of the community sould fail to embrace the opportunity and thereby strengthen itself as a public servant. Cheap cabs we want and cheap cabs we will have. The agitation now fairly begun must result in a victory over the monstrous mo- nopoly now holding such a determined grip on the hack business. But delays are dangerous, and the cheap cab question is no exception to the rule. So long as the owners of hacks see that they are not to be confronted by practical opposition they will laugh in their sleeves and go on rob- bing their patrons. It will be useless to look to them for reform. They are too blind to tWeir own interests to see the benefits that would accrue to themselves by any such change, The owners and drivers will con- tinue to charge exorbitant rates for poorly performed service just as long as they hold exclusive control of the business. Opposi- tion—practical, determined opposition—is what will bring them to their senses and give the desired relief to the public. Theory and talking will achieve nothing; therefore it is necessary that the officers of the American District Telegraph should bring their theory into practice. If they abandon tlie project of cheap cabs, after having placed themselves on record as about to carry it into effect, the public will no longer have faith in any promises they make.

[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. } Lonpon, April 20, 1876. + At Newmarket today, the third of the Craven meeting, one of the events was the International Handicap, for three-year-olds and upward, one mile and seventeen yards, in which contest the Ameri- can horse Preakness took part. DISTINGUISHED PEOPLE PRESENT. The intelligence that Mr. Sanford’s stable would certainly be represented in the race caused the at- tendance of many distinguished members of the Eng- lish Jockey Club, who were anxious to see the for- eign candidate's first performance in this country. Among these were Admiral Rous, Princes Solty- kof and Batthyany, Lords Falmouth, Dupplin, Las- celles, Roslyn and Westmoreland, together with Sirs John Astley and George Chatwynd and several others of note in the racing world. MR. SANFORD WABMLY WELCOMED. Admiral Rous early sought Mr. Sanford, and warmly welcomed him in behalf of the racing men of England. He expressed a high opinion of the son of Lexington and Bay Leaf, and commended in enthusiastic terms his appearance as a race horse. Admiral Rous feared, however, that Preakness lacked sufficient work and was wanting in the re- quired condition to make a creditable struggle. Un- fortunately the Admiral was right, as the sequel proved. THR BACE. Of the eighteen subscribers six came to the start- ing point. These were M. H. Sanford’s Preakness, with 126 Ibs., the top weight; Mr. B. Gilpin’s Berry- field, 102 lbs.; Prince Batthyany’s Delay, 96 Ibs.; Sir G, Chetwynd’s Kidbrooke, 95 Iba.; Mr. T. V. Morgan's Lord Gowan, 124 Ibs, and Mr. 8. Crawfurd’s Mait- Jand, 82 lbs. Constance had the mount on Preak- ness, and for three-quarters of a mile the latter made an excellent effort, but then, as his jockey ex- pressed it, ‘his want of condition made itself felt,” and he dropped away from the leaders, when Mait- land went to the front and landed the winner. Lord Gowan fifth and Kidbrooke sixth. Constance id not force Preakness when he discovered that he ‘was tiring, and galloped home at # pace that did not prove distressing. ‘THE BETTING. Just previous to the race Prince Batthyany’s Delay ‘was the favorite, the odds being 2to1 against him, while there was offered and taken 3 to 1 against Berryfield and 10 to 1 against Preakness. OPINIONS RXPRESSED. There was the universal expression among the racing men that Preakness had made a good fight, considering the circumstances of his lack of work and the weight he carried. Scores predicted that he will yet astonieh many and win a good race be- fore he is sent back home. Mr. Sanford, after the race, frankly admitted that had he waited until Jane to make the initial attack ‘with his horses it would have been much wiser. This bears out the HxRat.p’s frequent statements that Preakness was not yet fit to ran, but while his owner now sees the error committed, the fact that the race was only a “feeler,” and the result far from disheartening, is viewed with some little satis- faction sUmMARY, Newmarcer, April 20, 1876.—International Hand! of 10 nova. vach, Seovs. forfeit to the fund, with sove, added, for three-year-olds and upward; ea pablieation of the weights, 7 Ibs; of 500 sova. tbs. extra.

It was ascertained this evening that Gray will be re- arraigned to-morrow, when threo additional charges, omitted by mistake, will be prepared against him. WINSLOW'S CASE—AMERICAN OFFICIAL XKGOTIATIONS RELATIVE TO HIS FURTHER IMPRISONMENT. An inquiry was made at the United States Legation to-day as to whether at the expiration of two months from the date of committal of Wioslow, who will then be entitled to be discharged, a domand for his further dotention will be made, OFFICIAL REPLY. ‘The answer was that it was impossible to say what course would be taken, Tbe Legation was constantly occupied with the pending negotiations, England de- sires the surrender of prisoners and }!s only anxious to act according to law.

He ‘was sufering severely from hoarseness, the result of a cold, and consequent general indisposition.

Omana, Neb., April 20, 1876, His Imperial Majesty Dom Pedro arrived with his suite at this city at ten o’clock this morning. He has enjoyed the trip from Chicago very much. Carriages were found awaiting the arrival of the imperial party at the railway station, having been provided by Mr. Bennett, the superintendent of the Pullman Car Company, His Majesty having courteously de- clined the polite invitation of the Mayor of Omaha in order to avold any official reception. The party drove through the city and visited the high schools, where the pupils played on the piano and sung for their entertainment. The Emperor expressed him- self as mach pleased with the exercises. He says Omaha is a city which has made A GOOD BEGINNING. He subsequently visited the Omaha Smelting Works, where the imperial party were shown all the various processes employed in reducing the ores, and the operations of the powerful machinery and arrangements for rolling and working the metal. These were found very complete and admirable. The Emperor was very well satisfied with the exam- ination of this specimen of our industrial enterprise.

We Amoricans (and there were about 6,000 of us), were fearful of our liberties ashore, Governor Todd, our Minister, fearful lest we might by some overt act brig the two nations into difficulty, issued a vory strong order trying to restrain the great erowd from coming ashore every day, but to divide it so each man would go ashore about twice during our stay, about two weeks. Great indignation was felt and expressed at old Todd, but go we would and go we did, Things looked serious, when His Imperial Majesty notonly removed all restrictions but actually encouraged his American brothers to enjoy not as much, but more freedom than his own subjects; municipal laws were for the time suspended, the beautiful gardens of Boto- fogo were thrown open day and evening; nay, his own garden, at San Christobal, wax at our service for our especial benefit.
