SAVE THE CHILDREN ! Frightful Exhibit of Mortality Among the Little Ones 2,136 DEATHS IN THREE WEEKS, The New Medical Corps At Work. TENEMENT HOUSE — AS soon as the offices of the Board of Health were Opened yesterday morning tho corps of doctors ap- pointed filed in and preparations wero begun to stay the feariui mortality which has prevailed among tho children of this city. The magritude of the death list ts extraordinary and without a precedent. In twenty- five days there have been over 2,000 children buried under the nge of five years, The direct cause of their @eaths was cholera infantum, caused by the extreme heat and want of proper dict and fresu air, The death list showed that thero were for the Week ending July 1 Week ending Juiy 8 Weok ending July 15. Vuly 16, 17, 18 Total....... seveccccoee All of these were under five years of age, Yoard of Health saw the extreme necessity of some Mhing being done to lessen this growing mortality, hence the appointment of Ufty physicians to visit the tenement houses aud to do their best to save the lives Mf the iiitic ones, The frst thing to do was to district the city, This wasdone early yesierday morning, aud atone P. M. every physician had his district alloiied Lim and started eutou his humanitarian but somewhat disagreeable duty. The Board had some trouble in getting fifty floctors to do the work, for nearly every man in the prolession of repute bas as much as he can do to-day jo atiend to his private practice. Calis were made Apon the police surgeons and a majority of them re- dponded, ‘That there was NO TIME TO BR LOST wasa fact generally impressed upon the corps, and bhey were required to get to work atonce., With the Mercury at 98 they started out on their professional duty, “The neighborhood of Police Headquarters ‘bounds with tenement louses, and the doctors dis- Wricted in that vicinity had not far to travel in order to begin their work. . A reporter of the Hxraup accompanied one of tho hysicians whose district was on the east side of town, in the most thickly populated section between the Bowery and the East Kiver. Walking up Broome ‘treet the Doctor struck the immense tenement be- singing with No, 200, There was a little white Breamer of crape upon the bell handle. The entrance Was crowded with women and children, haif clothed, trying to get in the breeze in the haliways—a breeze laden with various stenches proceeding froin tne green looking gutters in front and the halt emptied garbage box. “Are there any siek children in the house?” said the Doctor, addressing a fat womun tanning hersell with the top of an oid wicker bask “Fab, and there's plenty of them, zur. We baa four funerals out of here tho last woek—nearly as many as they had over the way.’? “Are you a doctor, sir?” “Yes, 1am,” replied the representative from the Board of Health. “Here, taix, there’s plinty for ye todo. But the divil a bit of good does the doctors seem to do, ‘Give ‘em plinty of nourisiing food days and fresh air, and Keep em quiet aud cool,’ and how the divil is any- body to do it?” ‘There wero thirty families in this house, numbering aver 150 souls The trst floors visited were occupied by the better order of mechanics, There were sick thildren im every family in different stages ot diwease, Most of them children in arms. Nearly all had doctors, and In such cases uothing was done beyond giving gen- eral advice and to impress upon the mother the neces: Buy of carrying out the instructious of the regular physician. Many women seemed to regard the Board Of Health representative as an intruder, and intimated they were periectly able to look aller the weilare of their children without any Iree aid. Pass: p to the third, fourth and fifth floors the real pi: tor work was discovered. In one room was @ little girl of about nine years of age, bear arms achild of, perhaps, two and a half Little arms looked like pipestems and qui its cyes sunken and biue around the sockets.

Some were sucking ice they had stolen trom a cart near by; Others eating green curn and half ripe tomatoes. Those who live in decent dwellings can scarcely im- agine what this tenement life is, The mercury im trons of a barber shop ou the firet floor stood at 06.

CONTINUED SUFFERING OF THE POPULATION OF NEW YORK—INSIDE THE TENEMENTS—EFFECT OF THE TERRIBLE HEAT ON THE HORSES, ‘The antiquarian of 1976 who takes up acopy of the New Youx Hxraup of July 19, 1876, and the preceding week and scans its pages asa curiosity will perhaps wonder why the press of the time reflected so much impatience on the part of the population with inev. Possibly by that time the Gulf Stream may, by some freak, have shaped its course toward the Cape of Good Hope, and the wonder- ing archwologist may be blowing warmth isto his fingers as he reads in July, 1976, the inconceiv- able record of our present temperature. He will poss bly speculate whether the thermometers used at that somewhat remote date were like of his own day, and reliable, Whatever he may think, the people of this city were fully satisfied of ove thing, that, however many millions of years the combustion of the sun's mass has been going on, there is still lots offre in him, ‘The heat is simply getting provoking, and lecturers on the all-creative power of the solar ray do exceedingly well to treat that attractive but torrid subject in mid winter. Meanwhile we lose fleab,, mop ourselves, grin and bear the heat as best we can, Below w'll, however, be found details which lend anything but a jocular complexion to the subject, and which have an exceedingly grave side to thom. IN THR TENEMENT HOUSE DISTRICTS. ‘he suffering among the denizens of the tenement houses was greater than can be described in mere words, For days past the gutters tn these districts have been choked with filth of every description, and the vegetable refuse in the ash barrels, exposed to the blazing sun, bas decayed trom day to day almost as The stench from theso combined causes bas been nauseating for the past two weeks, and, although the rain of last Tuesday evening did good service in ridding the gutters of much of this accumuiated lth, the thousand and one smells, each worse than the other, which were wafted through the streets on the slight breeze that arose during the afternoon, made the atmosphere, burning as it was with the intense heat, sickening, The condition ef the wretched inmates of the tenements of the ill-favored neighborhoods was deplorabie, for terrible es was the beat in the open streets and nauseating as were the odors trom the gutters, the air was pure on the wors, block compared with tho atmosphere indoors, A Hxxatp reporter who made a tour during the hottest period of the day through some of the most thickly populated sections of the Kast side, especially tn the Fourth and Sixth wards and the lower portion of the Seventeenth, was a witness of scenes of suffering and was furnished with evidences of tho fatal ravages of the heat that were truly appailing. — The stoops and hallways of the tenements were crowded with women and children, all secking relief from the suffo- cating atmosphere Within doors, Kven though tha breeze was freighted with steuches, to them it was apparently a source of comfort, The little children who were old enough to walk played together in a listless, unchildlike way, and most of them looked palo and wan, The most pitiable sight to a stranger in the tenement districts was tho babies. jority of the women, who were huddied on the | Uoor steps where tho sun did not strike, were half clad, and bad little children in’ their arms. But few of them looked well, many appeared halt dying, and some of tho mothers weru so emaciated and careworn that it mado one’s heart bleed to see them, As the reporter was passing through East Fifth street, near avenue D, his attention was attracted to a fat, rosy-cheeked little bave that lay half asleep on its mother’s lap, che being a young woman, apparently not over twenty, hollow-eyed and paie,’ Tho child opened full its bright, hazel eyes upon the reporter as he stopped at the stoop, and it smiled gleotully. It was the first real woll-look!ng cbild be had met with, and he asked the mother how she had kept the child eo healthy during all the heated term. “By sitting up nigbia with 1t on the wharf, as God is my Judge,” was the reply. ‘We can at loast breathe there.’’ The poor woman’s looks did not belle her words, for she ap- peared like one who had not cioged ber eyes in sleep for a woek of nights. The reporter knocked at the door of n back room on the fourth story of a house in Orchard street, aud, receiv- ing uo answer, opened it and entered. Four little chil. dren—the eldest of whom was apparently about six— were seatod on the floor munching crustsof bread. They were naked as tho day they were born, Ina corner lay a woman in rags, sick unto death. She had two children, she said, since tbe hot weather began. The atmosphere in the room was intolerable, and, one of the neighbors inaking an appearance with a pitcher of water for the sick woman, the reporter left, This scone was ano of many not less harrowing. It would, indeed, be impossible to give anything like a faithiul description of the misery and suiler‘ng the hot weather has brought upon the tenement bouse classes, In going from the East River through Filth street to avenue A the reporter met on the street and coming down the avenues seven funerals, all of children. Truly death is reaping arich harvest among the littie ones, * 's poor,” as usual, are those who are the suflerers, MORTALITY IN THE HORSE CAR STABLES. Yesterday a Henan reporter investigated the effects of tho terrible heat on. the horses of New York. The ‘Third avenue line, being the largest of the companics, first claimed notice, Tue managers have directed the drivers during the last few days to spare the stock in every way possible This is without any reference to time whatever. The stables are clean and weil venti- lated, the horses living both upstairs and down, seeming to be generally in good health. Ut course, ag this lino employs nearly 2,000 horses in its business, there are numbers in the hospital always, but during this heated term the aggregate of those under treatment has been largely swelled. It could not be ascertained from the foreman how many horses had actually died belonging to the company, but a stable boy said “about thirty or forty.” ‘The next line investigated was that of the Second Avenue Railroad Company, whose depot 18 at 1,195 Second avenue. The horses on this line of cars are of even a poorer quality thon those of the Third Aveoue line, and have suffered, it is believed, terribly with the heat of the last few days. Their route, too, 1s, in the main, through streets and avenues very badly’ paved, thus ‘making hard work for the poor animals. There has been a mortality among the Lorses in these stables of abont 150, The hospital 1s tull of sick horses, The Fou: th avenue line has lost but few horses dur- ing the summer. The route is a good ono, the at the corner of Thirty-third street and F are cool, clean and heait’ the establishment is everywhere admirable, The route from the Post Ofice to the Grand Ceutral depot and thence to Central Park is a long one, but the horses are changed frequently. The diverging lines to Chambers street and [hirty-fourth street ferries are under the same management. In conversation with the drivers and conductors the writer's {information of but small mortality among the horses in these stables was con- firmed. The Broadway line, as well as the Sixth avenui | lime, has suifered ' but little by horses di abled by the beat, The former eompacy ha: rolays of animals at the corner’ of University place and Righth street, where the horses aro watered as well, both on the up and downward trips, but there ts seldom an occasion when itis necessary to change them, as they aro of a superior stamina and stand the work’ very well. The stables at Filtieth street and Seventh avenue are large, cool, clean and admirabiy dapted for the comfort of the animals. There isa ge of horses here on tho up trip proceeding to the Par! The Bleecker street line, bas suffered considerably in horses since the Lot weather set in. - The stock on this road, however, bad been allowed to ran down under the old direction, and is not yet fully up to the standard of most of the other city lines. The hack horses are generally in good condition, ana have sudered but littie. The horses of licensed venders have been lost in numbers during the last forimight Of course are generally cheap stock, costing from $30 to $75, and are easily replaced. The horses drawing lager beer wagons have suffered bat litle, as thelr owners are very careful of them, making their drivers proceed on their business at a slow gait, keeping bounets their Reads or wet sponges on them. ‘The horses attached to jee caris have saffered very much, as their loads have genera | been excessive and their work unusually hard Ex- press horses, being of a supertor quality and having good caro, have up to this time stood the heat well, and It ts to be hoped those who own this tine class o mais will {usist upon the drivers proceeding at a more moderate e of speed during the hours of the day when the heat ts most oppressive.

THE HAMBURG MASSACRE, CORRESPONDENTS’ VIEWS OF GOVERNOR TIL- DEN’S DUTY IN THE PREMISES AND OF GOV- EBNOR CHAMBERLAIN’S—WORTHLESSNESS OF THS CABPET-BAG GOVERNMENTS —POLITICAL EFFECT MORE THOUGHT OF THAN AN AT- TEMPT TO ENFORCE THE LAWS—ATTITUDE OF THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE. Nuw Yorx, July 18, 1876, To tux Enrror or THe Henaup:— I observe in your issue of this morning that you call | pon Governor Tilden to speak out touching the recent disgracetul Hamburg brutality. This call sounds sin- gularly strange, considering the source from which it comes. Why need Governor Tilden speak at this timo on such asubject? Why should the subject concern Dim at all, either in bis present position as Governor of New York or in his prospective position of President of the United States? It strikes me that it is the duty of Governor Chamberlain to look after the Hamburg transaction. He and his followe! bronght about such a state of things, and it is their duty to correct and puta stop to all such disgraceful and inhuman transactions, Don’t scek to throw the burden on any one else, You say that the people of ; the Northern States are very tired of the carpet-bag | misgovernment of Southern States and the continual calls for federal interference which itinvolyes, This is | true, verv true; but you are very much mistaken when you say, ‘just when everybody is ready to agree that the inhabitants of the Southern States should be permitted to manage their own internal and domestic affairs something like the Hamburg outrage occurs, and then every democrat North who loves justice and fair plav grits his tecth and resolvo in his heart that it isnot yot time for the democrats to come tp. Every democrat {and a great many good republicans as well) in the Nortberu States, who loves justice and fair play, not only think that the time bas come for the republicans to go out, but have the strongest conviction that the democrats ought and shall come in. As an evidence of the ability of the democrats to manage the Southern | question—to restore peace and order throughout their | Dorders—allow me to refer you to the state of things in Virginia and Tennessee, and Kentucky and Missouri, and Arkansas and Texas, and Georgia, Now, let the people of South Carolina elect Wade Hampton tor their Governor at the next election and we shall hear of no | more such affairs as the Hamburg brutality, and if you | would use your great and powcYiul pen day by day to bring about the election of good and true democrats in all the Southern States, we shail have peace, order and | | Prosperity throughout the South just as soon as the } desired object is reached, And to have peace and | order and prosperity in the Seuthera States 16 to Lavo the same blessed state of things in the Nortnern States, Grantand his administration are alone re- sponsible for the bad and disgraceful state of allgirs in South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi, and nobody knows this lact better than the editor of the New York Heraup, the greatest papor in the world, Go to work right and do your best, and the country will soon be happy and prosperous, We will all help = | spectfully, Cc. W.C. P.S—You say, “Suppose Mr, Tilden inthe White Rouse and another Hamburg masaacre, what would do? What would be his attituds What his action??? Why, be would do just what every other sensible, | honest and true wan would do—namely, advise the people of the State in which It occurred to elect honest | and true democrats to office in all the departments of State, and peace, good order and strict observance of Jaw would tollow, lita attitude would be, ofcourse, pas- sive, and bis action nothing more than required of the Governor, so faras it lies in his power, to’bring the guilty parties to trial and severely punish them. Suppose such a brutal affair should occur in the State of New York, do you think Governor Tilden would write a in order to make political capital out of it? Not a bit ot it. He would go to work at once and bring every guilty man to answer before the Jaw and have him punished according to law. Why doesn’t Governor Chamberlain go and do likewise? His party has pos- session of the State, possession of all or most of the offices and are able, in all respects, to enforce the law. Why doesn’t he do it? Why go’ whining about de-* nouncing the perpetrators apd calling upon the North- ern people to frown upon and denounce the outrageous act? Itisall for political effect. Let hitn and his party step down and out and give the control to good democrats and all will be well and at peace very speedily. It 1s strango that you do nos see the whole thing in a nutshell and counéel accordingly. THE REMEDY FOR EVILS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY—ENOUGH OF WHINING APPEALS TO THE COURTS. INTERESTING WILL CASE The Fortune of an Escaped Slave—Im- portant Decision by Surrogate Calvin. Payment of the Western Union Dividends. | INJUNCTION FURTHER MODIFIED. A decision was rendered by Surrogate Calvin yester- day in the matter of the estate of Anthony Jones, a | colored man, formerly @ slave, and who made his escape from bis Virginia master some thirty years ago. All these years he resided in New York, and at his death was the possessor of some $15,000 in per- sonal and real estate, Itwas supposed that he had no living relatives, and the State claimed the property. Two claimants, however, appeared in the persons of the deceased’s slave wife and son, and on this claim hinges the itnportance of the decision rendered yester- day, and which gives the property in question to Patsey Minor, the widow, and to Anthony Smith, the | son and next of kin of the deceased, Anthony Jones. | The Surrogate gavo an opinion, the main argument | of which was that the two claimants, Patsey, the puta- tive wife of Anthony Jones, and the issue of that rela- tion now called Anthony Smith, were, to all intents and purposes, the wife and son of the deceased An- thony Jones, and consequently entitied to such prop- erty as was loft by the. putative husband and father. The cotabitution of the female ciaimant with one James Miller, under tho supposition that | Anthony Jones was dead was held not to affect the case, The difficulty arising out of the laws of Vir- | ginia existing at the time of the allowed marriage or cohabitation of the partics was readily disposed of. The Surrogate then continued: Tam of the opinion that Patsey Minor is the lawful widow of Anthouy Jones, deceawed, and entitled under our law to one-third of the personal estate of her deceased husband and a dower intercst in the realty; that her | subsequent marriage to Minor did not and could not | affect the marriage relation between her and the intes- | tate, especially as it appears that her marriage with | Minor was eight or nine years atter the escape of the | deceased, When she supposed him to be dead. By the | same reasoning Anthony Smith is a lawful son and heir of the deceased, but he is more particularly so under the law of Virginia of 1865, which provides that, wherever negrocs have cohabited as | man and wite, and shall have ceased to cohabit before the passage of that act, for any cause, all the children of the woman recognized by the man to be bis wile shalt be deemed legitimate. The fact that these prin- ciples are invoked not to divest any property or rights already vested or acquired, but simply to conter such rights’ upon those who are entitled by the laws of nature and common justice, should not be overicoked, and vo technicality should be interposed tor tho purpose of bestowing the property in question upon the people of this State rather than those who seem by every consideration of justice to be entitled to it, As the resalt of the above cunclusions Isaac Smith and Elizabeth Keaton, alleged surviving brother and sister of the deceased, are not the next of kin or en- titled to any of the estate of the intestate, Let ade- ee con Ormably to the above opinion be presented for ni the question of allowance to be then con- sideret THE WESTERN UNION SUIT.

New York, July 18, i876, To thx Eprron or THx HkRALD:— In your comments at different times upon tho late riot at Hamburg. S.C., you have (unintentionally I believe and hope) done but scant justice to the law- abiding spirit of the Southern people and have left an impression that they are only waiting reliet from the weight of the federal arm to inaugurate a system of vio- lence and bloodshed, because, as you say, the better thinking people of those States are unable to consrol the lawless element. ‘This is not fair, as far as South Caro lina is concerned at least, and I think it also unfair to the other Southern States. The statement of Governor Chamberlain to Senator Robertson, pubhshed tn this morning's Hxratp, should not be taken as placing the matter altogether in its trae light, ‘so far as the facts are concerned.”” The Governor's report is made up chiefly from that of Attorney General Stone, but does hot mention that Mr. Stone’s report was based entirely | upon ez parte evidence; that the witnesses were ail negroes and that many of them had been participants inthe riot I believe the report of the Attorney Gea- eralto have been fairly presented trom the evidence called ip, though the points may be difficult to prove in Court, but there can be no deuvt that the evidence of the whites should be listened to and re- ceive its due measure of credence before you or your readers arrive at the conclusion that (his oF other mois inthe South are due to the jawless disposition of the Southérn people, or that a change in the contro! of the State governinents trom the republicen to the demo- cratic party would be attended with danger to the lie or liberty of the negro. Jt would seem that you had read the letters of your own correspondent (Mr. Nordhof) to litle purpose or carelessly watched the results of the change in so many Southern St rom carpet bag to democratic govern- ment to arrive at the conclusions you do this qorning in a leader upon Governor Tilden’s opportunity. One after another a reign of terrorism has passed oy of the hands of the republican purty into those of 118 People, and immediately peace bas been restored within its borders and among its citizens of all color, But in those States stili controlled by the repubitean ariy, where offences against good order and humanity ave been committecd, have you ever known an a peal for support to enforce the law and punish offenders to be made by the State Executive to the citi- zens of the State; if such were made you would quickiy sce whether or not a sense of justice and bu- tmanity pervades the south, Unfortunately it docs not suit the views of the republican leaders that the white people of the South should control those states, or even appear to the country at large as other than the e emies of the negroes and of the Union. In consequence their assistance is never called in, and the whint appeal isuiways made to Washington, Yet, Governor Chamberiain has asserted, time afict time, that since he has been in office, in every eilort for the good of tbe State, is best aud most cheerful support has been | derived from many wito were and are politically antag- | ovistic to him. In this very communication to Sena- tor Robertson, he refers to the manner in which those people denounce the crime of which he treats. The reason, and the only reason why such disorders artse in South Carolina ts that she {s not under democratic rule, the people ot the State have neither the making ofthe laws nor the execution of them. The sate seis of lawless rufians you 80 properly denounce always existed and always Will, in South Carolina as in New York c: but tm South Carolina in former times th | trolled by men whe, occupying the exe Judicial positions of a State they loved, guarded her honor and good name as they dic their lives, From such men murderers had but litle to expect or even hope tor. Such would 1 be again to-day were her gov- ernment again the control of her own people and the federal grasp froin herthroat, When that nappens, as it surely will, such disgracetul occurrences wili cease. Even as it ts to-day, Governor Chamberlain, by calling on the citizens oi the State, could bave had volunteers enough tn forty-cight boars to bave arrested and pun- tshed every offender im the Hamburg riot, provided the county officers were unable to ussict the majesty of the law, Nowhere has the cowardly sheoung of un- armed negroes excited greater horror than in South Carolina itself, and the leading papers of the State have veen foremost in expressing for their several communities their abhorrence of so unmanly a crime They can do noihing more. Had they refused or failed to respond to an appeal froin the Governor it would be time cnongh to accuse them of lukewarmness in re. | gard to the welfare and peace ot their State, Why does 4 Governor Chamberlain openiy trust tuem, as I ve ho privately docs, and cail upon all good eitizer ist In supporting law and upholding its d ty? He would tind hi wonderfully strengt ed, there would Le peace and quiet trom the mor tains to the seaboard, and the officers commanding in Moniana could receive reinforcements of troops that have been obliged to perform the unsoldieriy duties of | police for the sake of maintaining petty power.
