6 THE ROWING SEASON OF °76, The Great Regattas To Be Held Duri Centennial Year. ig the Harlem River, Springfield, Sar: Charles River, Seneca Lake and the Schuylkill River. SR ley AS A Glance at the College Amateur and Pro- fessional Oarsmen of the United States, —_——-——_— ‘The boating season for 1876 is just. commeneing, and from the preparations made by the prominent boating organizaArOus throughout the country the indications ‘sre that the summer of this year will prove to be the mont exciting and energetic ever seen on the rivers and lakes of the United States. Within the next two | weeks, i{ the weather continues favorable, the scason | way be considered as having fairly begun: The pre- liminary work in the gymnasiams is fast drawing toa close, and the oarsmen are looking after their gigs and barges and shells Some of the more enthusiastc have aiready taken to the water, and the work of picking out men for positions in crews is now active. The in- | ternational regatta on the Schuy/kill, and the fact that | all the strongest clubs in the country intend to be rep- | resented there and meet the foreign crews, has given a stimulus to rowing which in bygone years it lacked, It 18 safe to presume that the Centennial regatta will de a great suecess, and bring out some strong crews in the several contests laid down in the programme. England, Ireland, Canada, France, Germany and tho United States will meet and try to win with their best Strength and most accomplished skiil atthe oar, The Australjan colonies may also be represented in Ameri- | can waters, and from all accounts these Australians will prove no mean adversaries in the contests they may enter into. A glance atthe coming events will show that the season is rich in promise of sporting contests, THE HARLEM REGATTA, The Harlem Regatta Association, under the manage- ent of which the annual regatta is given, is composed bf nearly all the prominent boat clubs situated on the | Harlem Riv The association is now nearly four years old and embraces tho Athletic, launtiess, New ‘York Rowing, Stock Exchange, Nassau, Nautilus and Coiumbia College boat elubs under its flag. The Ata- laptas at one time belonged to it, and the Gramercy and Harlem clubs bave just retired trom membership, The asedciation has had a struggle jor existence, but there Is every reason to believe that from this year its course will be more prosperous, Owing to the disinclination | of many of the clubs making entrics and competing in the races named in the programme for the annual re- yatta, much dissatisfaction arose and comment was {ree in relation to the action of some clubs in the associn- Mon, which, in their club regattas, were able to make big Aisplays, but were unable on the day of the regatta of the association to make nearly so good ashowing, That | bhis will be changed this season there is every reason , Jo believe, as the clubs now in the association express a | fesire to work determinedly to make not only the | spring regatta but the association itself a success, The addition of a junior scullers’ race and a six-oared gig or Wargo race to the programme will give an increased interest to the regatta, and the fact that only active members, having a permanent residence in the city or Its vicinity, of the clubs composing the association can enter, will contribute greatly to the success of this year’s competition, which is set down for Saturday, tho 7th of June. The programme of races will consist of a race for single scullers (diamond sculls), junior scul- fers’ race, pair-oared race, a raco for four- pared shells and one for six-oared barges and figs’ All races to be rowed in mile heats, YALE AND HARVARD. Perhaps norace of the season is looked forward to with as much anxiety by college students and the Iriends of the above as the eight-oared contest between the two eights of Yale and Harvard universities, which Js to take place at Springfield on the 30th of June. The watch was brough: about shortly after the retirement of Yale from the Rowing Association of American Col- jegos. Harvard p!uckily accepted the challenge thrown put by her adversary. Tho race will be four miles Straight away, ‘and both boats will carry coxswains after the fashion of the English university crews, At | present the prevailing opinion is that the chances of victory are somewhat in favor of Yale. The style of | Btroke and Captain Cook’s experience will, it is | thought, prove most valuable ina long race. So Yale | ta somewhat of a favorite at this early day, This may shange before the end of June, when the crows get at | their hard work, as did the opinions regarding Ox- | ford and Cambridge in the annual meeting a couple of | weeks since on the Thames, The crew in the Yale boat AS At present composed consists of Kdmund T. Living- ston (bow), Frederick Wood, B.C. Cooke, W. W. Collin, David Hyde Kellogg, Charles N. Fowler, Julian Ken: nedy and Robert J. Cook (stroke). The Harvard crew will be picked from Bancroft, Le Moin, Bolan, Jacobs, Wordin, Otis, Thayer, Ifving, James and HM. P, Loring.’ Mr. Loring has been indisposed tor the last hwo weeks, and during his absence his place was filled by Mr. Bacon. THY INTERCOLLEGIATE REGATTA lakes place on Lake Saratoga on Wednesday, July 19, tie a matter of much regret that Yale withdrew {rom the Rowing Association of American Colleges and will not row in the regatta of this year. Yale, however, 1s | not the only college that wil! be cofispicuous by 118 ab- sence, Amberst, Trinity and Williams will not draw up into line on the day of the race, and in all prob- Ability Bowdoin and Brown will be unrepresented. Of the thirteen colleges which contended last year only seven in noxt July wil enter into competition for su- remacy. The colleges which remain are those which "showed up’ best in 1875, Corneil wou, but how. tlosely she was preseed at the @nish line by Columbia and Harvard is a watter ofrecord. Then, too, the Magnificent improvement in rowing of the Dartmouth srew, which stubbornly contested every inch with Yale ‘and won a good place at the close, and the ever reliable crew of Wesieyan, which was also well up at the finish when the race was over, speak well for the prospects in 1876, when the first five out of the thirteen crews which contended last year will moet again in Juiy on the waters of Lake Saratoga. Corneil, the ‘winners of '76, will have Ostrom at ois old position of at with only two new men, the rest of the men ing those who composed last year's crew. Columbia will Goodwin, her old stroke and a splendid car. Dolumbia will go to Saratoga with a strong crew, deter- mined to win, Goodwin has his men out nearly every fay on the Harlem and is doing earnest practice. Harvard is already at hard work preparing tor tho vight-oared race with Yale, and from the eigut compos- ing that crew tho six will be chosen for the University Pegatta. Wesleyan, according to good authority, is stronger than ever, and never had so many good men in training. The prospects of a good six are exceilent, and although the crew may be wholly composed of new men it must not be inferred that inexperience will characterize it, ag most of the men have won favorable records in class crews, Dartmouth may do even better than last year, and if the crew of ‘76 is as much of an Improvement on ‘75 as the '75 crew was over that ot “4, they will prove dangerous rivals to the fastest trew on the lake. Princeton, with a splendid looking crew in 75, which beld its own for the first mile with doubt would have won a good pl , is now ‘orably in training, and will send worthy ck. Niccols, their he crew is selected. Hamilton, with characteristic New York pluck, will be in the race with pretty much the same crew as that of last year, but much impreved by experience and hard ractice. From the above tacts it may be seem that the Jniversity race of '76 will be perhaps the hardest rowed University contest ever pulled on American watera The number of competitors ts reduced, but even crows that will row will be the best college oars- men of the coun’ THM NATIONAL REGATTA. The National Association of Amateur Oarsmen will this year bold its annual regatta on the Schuylkill. he date has not yet been fixed, but it will take place immediately preceding the Centennial regatia. In Inet, it will be the preface to the great international struggle over the same waters, The ractog will include singies, doubles, paits and tours, and will be rowed in heats over the mile anda half course. Mosto! the best oarsmen ip the country take part in the apowal racing of the National jon, and this year we may expect tosee the number of competitors vastly increased. TUR CRNTERMIAL REGATTA. The idea of holding the grand international regatta at Philadeipbia this year was conceived over two years and from that time up to the present Commodore ferguson and the members of the Schuyikill Navy have deen working energetically to make the event one of | the greatest exhibitions of rowing the world hos ever goon. Not only will the prizes be open for competition to the oarsmen of the United States, but ihe oarsmen, professional and amateur, of all nations have been in progressing fi vited to enter the lists. From what can be ascertained at this cariy day it is more than that England, Ireland, Canada, France, le Foomor, and Belg: will be represented in the England, it is said, will have four fours, and there is ramor sessing round to the oe that the Cambridge winning eight will come over in response to | a challenge ‘anued By rd. Preparations are now being made in Philideiphia to accomino:tate all comers pearance at the regatia of ‘76 Paid nod. from present appearances, to be 6 success. have been aitendy seloeted Fay are reer valuable, excecdinaty beautilul in de- | doubles or crews as the case may be. | | away course try skill and strengtp, Ona fine day and | | | members of the Ui | cast all pas | speak ol a grand regatta on the Hudson, but of that | he will meet ail | bis friends; James Ki | junior championsh:p at Saratoga, will row as fuithtuily | in the be NEW YORK sign and most appropriate, {In addition to the prizes intended for the winning clubs medals of gold, silver and bronze will be givem to each aber im the | so that when years, pai he of | tokens can refer back to the Centennial commem- | oration of the founding of the Republic and display | medal with pride somewhat akin to the feelings with | whicn an old warrior displays the bit of ribbon he re- ceived for his share @ battle long since fought and won, In boating circles the Centennial regatta forms the principal topic of discussion. Men are alread: preparing and are taking their daily spins in 21 Few crews are yet permanently formed. One thing, however, ap- pears certain. 'y boat club im the country will make an offort to have a represeotative or representa. tives in the races. Barge crews are forming to visit Philadelphia and gwe éclat to the opening of the regalia by the presence on the Schuykill when the rac- ing begins. The members of the Nautilus, Harlem and Daunticss clubs, trom the Harlem River, talk about rowiug to the Quaker City in company, s0 a8 to be there atthe inauguration of the sport The Atlantic Cluo, of Hobokeu, also propose being represented in a ten- ared barge. No doubt, asthe season advances, many other clubs will follow the mend eee heip to make the Centennial regatta an event long to be remembered | ufler the boating season of 1876 passes away. SARATOGA LAKE There is every likelihood that, preceding the Centen- bial display on the Schuylkill, an international regatta will be given on Saratoga Lake. “The Rowing Associa- tion ut the Springs is anxious to bave a regatta worthy of the traditions of the lake, and if the National Asso- ciation of Oarsmen take the matter hand in the proper spirit @ great meeting can be arranged, in which foreign and home crows can tne blades over long distances, The Saratoga prizes are open to competi- tion at present for ali comers. College, amateur and | foreign oarsmen can contend for them. No finer course in the country exists, Twonty-five or more crews can be drawn up abreast and, over @ three mile straight with good water position amounts to little or nothing. A regatta at Saratoga would be most desirable, and it ig to be hoped it will be one of the features of the row- ipy season. All the races at Philadelphia will be rowed 's, For this reason, if for no other, it would be e the long races on Saratoga Lake, so that | t Lest might be given to all oarsmen and every | style of rowing. THE LAUREATE COURSE. Before the boating season of 1875 was brought to a close an attempt was made by sone of the energetic Laureate, Waterviiet and Mark Filley boat clubs to’ org the Schuylkill or Patapsco navies or the Hariem Re- atta Association. ‘The project was not carried o It was conceived, and, we believe, LO permanent organ- ization Was effecta, The Troy or Luureate course is one of the best, 1f not the best, mile and a halt courses | in the country.” lt ie more than probable that an eflort | will be made by the ‘roy oarsinen before the season 18 much advanced, and the Laureate course in ‘76 will | have a good record, | SENECA LAKE. For the last few years the lovers of aquatic sports in | and avout the vicinity of Watkius’ Glen have given a | regatta on Seneca Lake, It usually takes place after the Saratoga reguita, and many of the oarsmen, after participating in the Saratoga event, make tt a point to visit the Glen, Since the inauguration of these regat- tas they have grown in popularity, and this year’s gathering on tbe beautiiul waters o: Seveca Lake may be looked forward to with pleasure, as a strong effort will be made to attract the dest oarsinen in the country to struggle for the prizes, THE NORTHWRSTRRN ASSOCIATION regatta will occur about the Fourth of July, and will con- tinue for two or three days. ‘I'he course of the associa- tion is on the Maumeo River, aud is a pertectly straight | mile and a half, On this course most of the vost crews | and scullers mm the West will compete. The annual re- | gatta is always a success, and this year it bids air to einpts ip the shade. REGATTAS AT DIFFERENT PLACES. \ The New Jersey Association of Boat Clubs will have & regatia this year for the first time; Binghamton will try again its last year’s venture; the Long Branch Rowing Association will make another attempt on Pleasure Bay; possibly Oakland Beach will offer an in- ducement to ambitious oarsmen; some New Yorkers there 18 nothing detinite, and the Hariem Regatta As. sociation may give an open fall regatta.

There are, however, Many other scuilers not so prominently known who may appear, and by their performances help to dim the brightness of the present stars of the rowing world. AMATEUR CREWS AND CLUBS, With some exceptions nothing definite can be statea with regard to the crews which will row ithe big regattas. To a great extent the campaign is shaj and the preliminaries pretty well gone through with, but as | to the men who will positively row and their positio ttle can be said with certainty, The Argo- | s year will have Ed.

This vietory will long be remembered. A Word crew to-day can be got together who can equal the Wards’ work of 1871. Josh was never in betier condition, and Gi, Ells and Charley are iu fine trim. Even old Hank is not only willing but anxious to row, so that it is fair to infer that il the sinews of war can be raised we will have a truly repre- sentative American crew, with a flue past record, to meet the best professionals England may send over.

REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK'S WORK. | The week just past has been prolific of games of base | ball.

This morning at an early hour, and during the day till long atter dark, the streets of the great city of New York will resemble tho streots of a city just taken by assault, and from which the terror siricken inhabitants are removing their household goods to prevent spoila- tion. No other city in the worid of any size or of any importance can be said to celebrate the 1st of May as it 18 celebrated by the peopie of this metropolis. The fact that yearly leases asa rule are made to expire on the fret day of May is the justificatory reason why every householder in town should fold his tent and silently steal away to another dwelling. [tis on this day of all days in the year that the demon cart- | man revcis in his dendish glee at the thought of the number of prospective victims who must submit to his extortionate charges . for the removal of furniture. Previous to this important occasion it te believed that the average cartman has nightly dreams | of broken bureaus, of shattered stoves and mutilated mirrors. A cariman in ordinary times possesses a good | deal of “nerve,”’ but on thetirst day of May be is all and he surveys the wreck of a parlor set with a nd flendish fortitude which 1s only kuown to one calm of bis trade, VACANT HOUSES, A This May day of 1876 is remarkable for one fact, Never before in the history of the city bav houses borne the ominous bills of ‘to let salo’’ on their tronts And these billsare not contined to iA cla yet they are pi ticularly noticeable on the doorways of third ri houses, which rent at from $800 to $1,500 a year, Is seems that the people, owing to the hard times, are moving out of these houses, not bemg abie to pay the rents, and are contenting themselves with the occupation of single floors, which eff sensible reduction in their expenses. Long leases were up to the close of the war a rule, now they are the ex- coption, A five years’ lease was'an ordinary thing in business woti! 1866; now the iron hus entered tne soul | | of those who have ‘to rent houses, real estate owners | are in the depths of despair, and rents bave had to fall perforce. The landlord is anxious‘to ask the sume rent that he did tive years ago; but the family who held a whole house aud its accommodations as necessities, which they could not exist without, are compelled to do with one-third of the room and to discharge any | servants that they have employed. Tho French flat system bas had its effect also, though in reality there is little gained’ as far as economy i concerned by the new system. The landlord, who never loses courage, still has the Vemerity to aak for as bigh rent as ever; but the tenant’s argument ig non mus. He does not quarrel as of yore—he simply leaves the house an at a more moderate t, and such is the abundance of house room that it requires but little trouble to suit himself. Tenants this year have been very earnest in their demands to have their rents reduced, and have threat- | | ened to leave old asgociatio! soover than submit to what they deemed to be extravagant rates, And in many bundred instances the landlords have been forced to give in and reduce their rents to save good tenants [rom leaving their houses. Thus mutual com- promises have been effected, and it is possible that the moving to-day will be of lesser extent aud magnitude than that of tormer years, Cartmen that have an eye to the main chance prscti a well to Lag Re be is a law Ci oon munieipality, passed by the Board of Aldermen in which is very explicit, and which, if enforced to-day, will trouble the dray and truck wen in their minas great deal. The law speaks plainiy, and it is therefore only fit that s10n of it should be given here, in order that citizens should know the iegal rate of iaro fora load of furniture, and not be compelled to three prices instead of one fare. The law is-as fol- lows:—“Every cart for hire shall be known as a public cart, the owner thereof being responsible for the goods: thereon.” From the scale of prices established the rate of charge for household furniture, loose, per load, unloading and housin; is 93 cents, and for an furniture in the removal of iamilies, a charge of cents per load is allowed. These prices are tor a dis- tance of half a mile; for a distance of over haifa mile and under a inile one-third additional may be chargod; the same rate in proportion for a longer distance, THE CARTMAN AND HI8 DUTY, No man can refuse to cafry a good and sufficiont load, as much as can be conveniently stored on his cart, or 18 reagonabie for one horse to draw, nor any article less than 2,000 pounds in weight The cartman may retain the article and convey the same to the Superin- tendent of Police if the cartage ts not paid, Ail dis- peg in relation to tariff must be settled by the Mayor. ‘ne Superintendent of Carts must visit the stands for these vehicles every day to ace that the ordinances arc complied with. Should the cartman charge more than | the above prices he is not entitiea toweceive any pay whatever, and should be reported to the Mayor, who license, sure to be saucy. It seems to be his ‘And nothing will con- eof business, but it m to watch these A cartm: Privilege to be so for one day, quer bim in this particular | should be the duty of every cit | men with just as much anxiety as they would a fraudu- lent voter at the polls. The cartman, wnen he scos that bis employer ware of this, and that he cannot rob him, and that all extravagant rates of cartage are refused, will very quickly realize bis position, and will act witn becoming if unusual modesty. As it is, cartmen will find that they are but servavis of the pub- lic and nothing more, A CAUSE OF DISEASE. 4 DAM OF FILTH THAT CHOKES A SEWER OUT- LET AND POISONS THB AIR OF HARLEM. Agiance at the death notices appearing daily in the Henatp will show that the mortahty is proportionately much larger among those who reside in the lower part of Harlem and the upper part of Yorkville than in any other section of the city. The heaith’ officials are sadly puzzied as to the® Sen re en ee cause of this frightiul mortality, and the Sanitary Committee of the Health Board has tried for some time to sol the problem, but in vain, Had the committee studied the maps of the Dock Commissioners, together with those of the Police Com- Missiohers andthe Croton Water Departinent, they would have very soon “bit the nail on the head.” The upper portion of Manhattan Islavd ts drained on the enst side by huge sewers running longitudtually through the avenues. Two iarge outlets lead into the East and Hariem rivers. One of them at the toot of Eighty-sixth street and the other at the foot of 110th street. Through the latter outict all the Mth of Harlem | | flows into the fiver. The construction of the sewer is such that the tide epbs and flows init, As a matter Of course it is necessary to keep the mouth of this out- fet free from ail obstructions which might im any way intericre with the free flow of the tide, 1 being in- tended by the projector of the sewerage system that at iow water the sewers should be Well washed out The Dock Commissioners have, however, ) decreed otherwise; for they have eaused to be erected | agé coliected in @he eastern portion o! | several den directly in trout vf the outlet, at the foot of Bust 110th sirect, a dumping board, and the Police Commissioners have no alternative bat to direct all bes and garb. the Twelfth ‘ward to be broaght thither to be pat into scows, This dumping board, which reaches {rom the top of the etringpiece to directly over the sewer opening, is ex- tended to prevent the refuse from falling inte the river, ‘but enough refuse falls between the scows and the sewer opening to block up the outlet. sortot dam is stances gathered in the sewer {rom being washed out with the tide, This dam, whieh a few day: raked ap by fome enterprising youths, contained cats, @ mass of old rags, with cabbage stalks, pow peelings and sweet scented materials, No doubt travelled up jown the sewer haif a dozen times, if not more, eaci e filing the air of the neighborhood with the germs of typhus, typhoid and scarlet diphtheria and other diseases, The Commisaior o Emigration, whose bospitais are directly opposite this pest-breeding dump, have repeatedly asked for its re+ moval to some other location just as easy of acceasy The Commissioners of Charities and Correction, who have charge of the eastern part of Ward's Isiand, have | Jomed in this request, bat the Dock Commissioners | take no notice of their demands, Several of the lead- ing residents of Hariem, backed up by the opinions of ptember medical practitioners, have hkewise asked lo have the nuisance abated, but with no result The Police Commissioners have diy stated to the people secking redress that they would rather have the ash and garbage carts go to somo other dock if the Dock Commissioners would give them another Ps Thus it seems tho whole fault licg with the Dock missionors jecks apartments | In this way a | formed, which prevents the fetid sub- | HERALD; MONDAY, MAY 1, 1876.--WITH SUPPLEMENT.

(Paris, April 16 (Sunday), correspondence of London Timea) This afternoon at the Chateau d’Eau s moeting was held which had been arranged by a special committee im favor of the delegate workmen to be sent to the Philadelphia Exhibition. MM. Victor Hugo and Louis Blanc had accepted invitations to attend and speak. Every seat had been taken several days in advance, for the meeting was a fle emanating from the miad of municipal radicalism, and to which peculiar cir- cumstances were to give 4 still more emphatic char- acter. Pit, boxes and galleries were filled at an early hour, all the upper crust of Parisian radicalism mus- toring !n them. Policemen maintained order in the street, where a compact crowd collected, which vainly attempted to enter the building, admission having long before five been stormed or bespoken by payment. Tho Stage itsell was flied with chairs and benches, a table covered with green cloth, tne glass of water whence evory speaker imbibes inspiration, two large oak arm- chairs, and two more unpretending ones for the asses- sors. Pending the arrival of the orators remarks were exchanged, as in every French crowd; epigrams were | launched, and wel! informed mep pointed out THR DEMOCRATIC BENATORS, including the Comte de Tocqueville, with whom Amer- fca is a specialty, and the aristocracy of radicalism, which displayed itself in the best places, just as princes and princesses, dukes and duchesses appear in the front seats in fetes, where the common bourgeoisie | form the public. Besides the two speeches four cho- | ruses wero to be sung. THR RADICALIST LEADERS. At half-past one Louis Blanc and Victor Hugo ar- rived, Applause and cries of ‘Vive la République!” and “Vive Victor Hugo!” broke forth and were pro- | longed for a minute or two. -Behind the armchairs | the choir formed and the ‘Echo Elwart’s Chorus” was sung, The singers were the Gallin Paris Chevet So- ciety, which sings according to the method of that | name, substituting simple figures for notes, ‘The note is the old musical stgo, A nascent democfacy requires A pew musical notation, and the figure metbod, threat- ened with abandonment, has recovered fresh, life by becoming the method of French democracy. M. LOUIS BLANC’S SPEKCH. The chorus finished, M. Louis Blanc rose. He was | palo and looked iatigued. He hus scarcely recovered from a very serious malady, and had left his wife’ dying bed to redeem his pledge to be present at the meeting. His always small stature seemed still more dwarfed, his face was more pallid thao usual, and his gray bair encircled a deeply wrinkled forehead It was, however, with @ sonorous voice that he began | reading HIB SPEECH. He cited some features of William Penn’s youth, | which led him to speak of Pennsylvania and of the splendid panorama offered by the Philadelphia Exhi- | bition, surrounded by a double girdle of forests and | rivers, of that city which “to-day invites the world to | the festival of industry and tho festival of liberty.” | He recalled the fact that at Philadelphia, in 1776, was tramed the Declaration of Independence, and that there | the first Congress was held. He mentioned Franklin’s | first entry into Philadelphia, and the anecdote of tho | young woman, afterward his wife, who burst out ! laughing at seeing him eating a loar of bread while he had another under each arm, and showed how afterward he was called to the Presidency | of the Uaited States Congress. | that Philadelphia was the proper | the universal Cent Exhibition - to “To unfurl a banner to ind, to beat the dram, to parade guns, infantry and cavalry in order to frighten thé eable citizens by this image of war—such is the jon of celeb events in France; but | it ig not equal to the American idea, which consists in | celebrating the festivals of peace by the pacific specta- cle of universal industry.” (Prolonged applause.) The exhibition, as M. Louis Blanc had explaived, is due to | private enterprise. ‘In France we do not know what ' individual action is, and we are rather fond of govern- ment leading strings In America it is collective indi- | vidual effort which prodaces great things. Chacun pour ot, et Diew pour tous.” (Slight applause. ) ‘his mention of God was evidently unseasonable, Hore the orator entered into some details on THR RESOURCES OF THE EXAINITION, the sums voted by Congress, and he dwelt on tho fra- ternal co-operation of ail tho various States. “It is | the great honor of the statesmen of the United States | of America to have understood that clemency alone | can prevent hatred from surviving the combat—(three | founds ot ae ao that peace is really estab- lished only whon established in men’s hearts.” (Re- | newed cheors.)- He quoted General Grant's remark to General Lee, “The animosities, which attended the war are dying out’ We shail soon celebrate their funeral in the centenary.” % AN INDIGNANT AMERICAN, Here I must pause to mention that a Southerner with whom I bad gone to the meeting, and who had | been parted from me in the crowd, told me afterward | that had he not been held back should at this mo- | ment have rushed on the orator, it was a gross in- suit to compare the combatants of the Seuth with the | soldiers of the Commune. I had the utmost diMcuity | in prevenung him trom waylaying M. Louis Bianc at the door to provest against what be termed an insulting | analogy. I must add, however, that, the susceptible | American excep verybody in the building hailed the passage with usiasm. « ! THE REGATTAS IN AMERIOA. | M. Louis Blano next stated that a 4 Genelin, | believo, had agreed to compete in regattas to be held; that he would go with four companions; that | if be did not find four he would go with two, and that | If _he did not fud two be would say with Victer Hugo, “Bt sik nen reste qu'un, je serai celwi-la."” The next speaker treated THE TECHNICAL SIDE ofthe question. aretogattouilaeipbin speed toret he said, ing Visitors to get to Philadeipbia ly, with- out being forced to stay there and to undergo the e: | pensiveness of living. ‘The Americans do not not like } to lose much time on the railway, That is all ver | well when » man ia at Versailies. (Mu | Jaughter.) Palace cars have therefore been devised in | which peopie will lodge coming and ” He went | on to speak of the conditions of exhibiting and of 1 YRER TRADE AND PROTKOTION. He was warmly applauded on remarking that, thanks | to the efforts of the French Commission, exhibitors | will not have to pay duties ior articles sold; but that it was MM, Lafayette, Dietz Monnin avd Flothard who | obtained this concession, The meeting showed its dis- | like to receiving services trom reactionaries, There | was very little applause, too, when he mentioned that masterpieces of Sévres, Beauv and the Gobelins had been sent This of & government which, whatever the reaction may say ‘8 BOL con- ! a to the class composing the meeting. Lastly, .

GUILT. [From the London Times, April 18.] William Fish, who, as was stated in the 7imes of yes terday, has been apprehended on the charge of mur- dering tne little girl Emily Holland, was yesterday taken before Mr, Johnston and other magistrates, at tho Town Hall, Blackburn, He is twenty-six years of ag@, and is described as a barber in Moss street. Chief Constable Potts said that another man was in custody and had been remanded on this charge and the police foundon further inquiry that it was quite possible there might be two persons concerned in the murder. THE TESTIMONY. On the Thursday night after the murder was com. mitted and the body was founda man who had been described by a witness as similar to the one already in custody went to the barber and said something to him which he could not hear. He heard, however, the reply, which was:—‘‘Others are scoure.”” it hada ready been proved before the Coroi that a man did take the child from a corner of a certain street, which corner was onl; any yards. from Fish’s shop, No. § Moss street. That house consisted of four rooms, two on the ground floor and two on the uppet floor, Formerly the prisoner and his a ily Hved in the upper rooms; he had lately removed to No. 162 Moss street. On the day of the mar- der, the 28th ult., the prisoner was seen standing at his shop door a little after five o'clock. Now, the man that took the child was last scen in Union Buildings, near Swarbrick sureet, by which he could go round by Birlcy street and return to the place from where he staried within a few yards of the barber's shop. A carter saw Taylor going from a stabie yard in Yates’ Buildings toward the barber’s shop; at that time the child was not with him, Suspicion had fallen upos the prisoner Fish trom the commencement. The police had searched his house several times, but found ne traces of blood or anything to justify them in arrest ing him, THE AID OF BLOODHOUNDS, On Monday morning a man named Peter Taylor, painter, of Nelson street, Preston, placed two, dogs ak the disposal of the police—a springer spaniel and a part bred bloodhound. The Chief Constable arranged with some of his officers—P. D. Holden and Livesey~ to go with the owner of the dogs to where the pody wag found, near Bastwell, and to where the legs had been discovered, Lower Cunliffe. This was done, but o¢ scent was detected, and thoy returned to Blackburn, Witness had previously a1 ged that the man should remain until night, in order that the police might take the dogs to two barbers’ shops, one kept by Dents Whitehead, Birley street, and the other the prisoner's, This intention was kept secret and they managed toget into both houges unobserved by inhabitants. Im tho first house—that of Denis White did not appear to scent anything, id they went to Fish’s, The dog, immediately on entering the house, began to SNIVF ALL ROUND, and evidently scented something ina back room and ‘upon the slopstone. The door which leads to the upper Toom was shut, but Detective Officer Holden opened it and went upstairs. The dog followed and aniffed round the back room, in which there was no fire] and really scented something. It then passed into the front room, tits stopping at the fireplace. Mr. Taylow went to the chimney and foand what should be produced in court—a haman skull, evidently that of a child, with a part of the hair on it. There wore also parts of the broken skull and parts of the smaller bones. There were bones which appeared to belong to the forearm and bones belonging tothe hands There wero also small pieces of garments, small pieces of gtay calico and achomise, The deceased child’s clothing was of that description. Among the articles brought down from the chimney was a piece of what appeared to be anews- paper and some clean straw. There were no pieces of straw in any part ofthe house. In the mean- time Superintendent Eastwood bad intermed thr prisoner of the object of their visit, and witness believe¢e that he was extraordinarily affected by the announce ment WHEN THR SKULL WAS FOUND his wite and he were present, and witness ordered him immediately to be taken into custody oo the charge of murder. jo aiterward said that he was innocent ané knew nothing about it. The police managed to get hia away before the inhabitants were aware of what wat joing on. If they had been three or four minute: jater, they could not, witness believed, have brought bim to the court, The skull was that of a child, an¢ the police did not know that any child bye mily Holiand was missing. Three teeth were left in the jaw. From all the circumstances the police believed thai the skull and the remains previously discovered were those of Emily Holland.
