terest, outs down the time and really tests the man. With especial care on the part of those competing to avoid crowding, fouling md jockeying, and determination on the part of the managers to insist on prompt starting and no delay between the races, there is no reason why this afternoon's meet- \ng at Mott Haven should not prove unques- tionably the most successful athletic gath- ering of our time. Ah, Mr. Bristow. ‘The one of our city contemporaries which has more political vigor than all the others together seems inclined to rule out of the canvass ‘‘all and singular” of the republican candidates whose prospects the Hematp has for some days considered hopeless. We are confirmed in the correctness of our estimate by the indorsement of so competent a judge. It would give us still greater pleasure to fol- Tow occasionally instead of leading always, for correct opinions are best promoted by ®& comparison of views formed from different and independent standpoints. We do not agree with our contemporary that the weakness of Mr. Bristow's canvass results from his failure to make explanations of his Official conduct as Secretary of the Treasury. It is rather a consequence of his peculiar re- lation to the republican party. He is the candidate of political sentimentalists, not of trained politicians. Everybody who knows how national nominating conventions are created and controlled—and nobody under- stands this better than our expert contem- porary—is aware that they are managed by men ‘inside politics,” who understand each other by quick instinct and ready sympathy like the Freemasonry by which people in what is called society recognize their kind, 4 convention of politicians will never nomi- nate a man of the stamp of Mr. Bristow, and the reason lies so plain on the surface that it is idle to seek foritina mine. It is not the failure of Mr. Bristow to refute the alle- gations of the Durants that will prevent his nomination at Cincinnati, but the fact that neither he nor his supporters belong to the guild of politicians by which the action of political conventions is controlled. Our vivacious contemporary, having put Mr. Blaine, Mr. Morton and Mr. Bristow outside the pale of choice, seems to agree with us that only three of the names which have been talked of have any chance. Does it believe im the success of Conkling and Hayes? Or, in the event of Mr. Conkling’s failure to get the chief nomination, does it think that Washburne and Conkling would make a winning ticket? It has echoed us so faithfully that we should be glad of an op- portunity to repay the compliment. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Tennessee republicans fear that Bristow might Tyler- tae. .

One Indiana journalist said to another, “Do you think that Don Cameron is corrupt?” The reply was, “He is Simon Cameron’s son.”” There is good authority for saying that enemies of Mr. Conkling are proposing not to make his Cincinnati vote unanimous, but to make a bolt.

Ordinarily this change would have depressed the wheat market, but the oper- ations of Continen:al buyers have counteracted the weather and maintained the firmness of prices which was noticable the previous week.

Wasuinctor, May 29, 1876, General Sherman says he does not concur in the ap- Prehensions had concerning the safety of the frontier towns on account of the employment of the troops in the fleid against the hostile Indians, He adds that “so far as the danger to the miners goes, they have gone there as if they wanted to be killed, because they lie down and go to sleep without arms or precaution.” DESPERATK WHITE MEN DO THR KILLING: [He does not think that all the damage which is being déne is attributable to the Indians, but to some bad white men, of the desperado class, who are doing most of the killing. He explained the reference made by him in his des- patch of the 26th inst, as to the government being “engaged in certain measures that will probably result im opening up the country to occupation and settle. ment,” to mean that the Interior Department, through Secrotary Chandler and Indian Commisiioner Smith, ‘was engaged in ‘measures which he could not speak of.” In fact, General Sherman refrained just here from his usual mannor of speaking glibly on any sub- ject submitted to him, and spoke with great reserve and abruptness, as though he did not like what was being done or did not care to discuss it.

AN INSPECTION OF THE SOUTH PASS JETTIRG, Monraomery, Ala,, May 29, 1876. The visit made by the Emperor yesterday to Port Eads proved singularly interesting, not only from the importance of the engineering experiments there being successfully made, but as an illustras tion of the untiring energy and invincible pluck of the American character. His Majesty was accompanied by the Viscount de Bom Retiro, and went on board the yacht Julia, be- longing’to the contractor, Colonel Andrews. It isa very gem ofa steam yacht. New Yorkers will be in terested to know that this craft is no other than the Wiliam Tweed, the favorite pleasure boat of the fugitive Boss. Captain Eads met the umperial party on the whart and conducted them on board, where a few promi. nent merchants of New Orleans interested in the construction of the jetties were presented. The sail down the river at night was interesting, the city, with its leagues of shore fights, appearing to great advantage. By five o'clock Sunday morning the the mouth of the South Pass of the Mississippi were reached, and the party to examine the system of preparing the materials for the construction of the jetties, Nothing could be more simple or more effective, aa is amply demonstrated by the work already accome plished. The system followed consists in the construction oflarge willow mattresses which are towed to the piace they are to occupy in the line of the jetties and sunk by stones being placed upon them and the grad. ua! saturation of the willows, The river water, Bowing through these layers of twigs, deposits clay and sand, and in a short time a solid bank is formed, The jetties already formed extend over a mile, and the land behind them is rapidly shoaling, thus secur: ing their permanence, The object proposed to be attained by jettying the South Pass of the Mississippi is the deepening of the mouth of that river so as to allow ships of heavy draught to reach New Orleans, Congress has made a law authorizing these jetty works, but stipulating that the works should be car- ried on wholly at the risk of the concessionaires, Congress agreed to pay the sum of $5,000,000 when the engineers appointed by the government shall report the existence of thirty feet of water in the South Pass of the Mississippi, agreeing, however, to pay $500,000 as soon as a depth of twenty feet had been obtained. In other words, the undertakers of this important improvement were obliged to accept the whole risk of their undertaking and are not to receive a dollar of the public money until they have achieved success. When the jetty works were undertaken the South Pass was wholly useless for commerce. According to the careful Coast Survey map the depth of water was only seven and eight feet on the bar. During His Majesty’s visit soundings were taken out to the deep sea, and the depth ranged from thirty-five to seventeen feet, the last depth only oc- curring once on a point of hard clay bottom, which is wearing away, but more slowly than the othes points of the river. This wonderful result has been obtained by simply confining the waters at the mouth of the river, and forcing them out in a compact column. Following @ natural law the river is rapidly ploughing outs channel large enough to accommodate the volume that 1s forced to pass between the jetties instead of speeding itself over a vast area of shoal. The in- creased depth of water has therefore been created by the action of the river itself, working with a force and persistence altogether superhuman. The success of Captain Eads’ works will change the whole future of the Mississippi Valley, and there is no longer any reason to doubt his complete suc- cess, because what has already been accomplished has demonstrated beyond cavil the soundness of the principles which have directed the construction of the jetties, His Majesty was deeply interested, and expressed surprise tat private citizens should carry out such important public works at their own risk. His Majesty was delighted with Captain Eads, and ex- pressed a hope that he would pay a visit to Brazil, where His Majesty promised him a warm and hearty reception. In conversation with the HERALD correspondent His Majesty said that “Captain Eads was a wonder: ful man; that he had been delighted and instructed by the clear explanations given by the Captain, and that before being an engineer Captain Eads waa & savant.” He said he already knew Mr. Bayley, the assistant engineer, by reputation, in Rio, and was surprised that he had never heard Captain Eads’ nanie.
