Warn Srerer Yxesterpay.—Stocks were again irregular and feverish. The market closed a shade firmer. Gold opened at 111 7-8 and closed at 1113-4. Government bonds were strong and first class railway bonds in fair request. Money on call loaned at 11-2 nnd 2 per cent. Foreign exchange was dull. Saratoca Yestsrpay enjoyed the double pleasure of races on the turfand a race on the lake. Over both the land track and the water track the sport was exciting and gavo great enjoyment to multitudes of onlookers. | Tue Doo Days 1x ConGress.—Would it not be well for our Congress to adjourn to the Insane Asylum over the Anacostia, where they could enjoy treatment at the hands of Dr. Nichols? The members secm to need it. Tox Rirrze Tram Practice yesterday was very good at Creedmoor. The atmospheric conditions were favorable to first rate scoring. We are glad to see the average 50 high, but we must recollect that, with a northeast wind, last week the results were not so encouraging. Onx oy THz Lonc-wairep-ron free baths will, we are informed, be ready for use on Saturday next, and the other on the follow- ing Saturday. This will give our poorer fellow citizens who cannot run away to Long Branch or even to Coney Island for a day two months of good bathing. Tue Sentence by Recorder Hackett on Louis Brown, the receiver of stolen goods, who bought a gold watch worth one hun- dred and ten dollars from a boy thief for eighteen dollars, ys well deserved. These wretches who hold out the great inducement to thieves, young and old, should be vigi- lantly hunted by the police. NagraGansetr Prer.—Our correspondence from Narragansett Pier gives a pleasant picture of that young and flourishing water- Ing place, and of the way in which the world of fashion and pleasure is enjoying itself this summer. The opening of the new branch railroad from Kingston, on the shore line, will be a great aid to the Pier and isa decided convenience to the public. The proposed impeachment of a judge of the | Bupreme Court of Rhode Island is, how- ever, one of the results of this enterprise. Waite tae Stump Sreecurs which have for the past two days made the Senate of the United Statesa mere campaign meeting do not enlighten the country very much we presume it is fair to laugh over the trap which Mr. Patterson laid for himself when he complained that all the Associated Press agents inthe South are democrats, giving Mr. Eaton achance to say that they were probably the only persons there who could read and write. It must be nearly true, or Mr. Patterson would scarcely be Senator from South Carolina. Ramnoap Accrprxts are very frequent in England at this season of the year, owing to the number of extra or excursion trains run without proper prearrangements. The slaughter has become so periodical as to be annually commented on in the English papers, the great panacea of a Parliamen- tary inquiry failing to stop it. The empty excursion train which figured in the acci- dent on Monday night at Radstock, in the southwest of England, was the cause of the mischief. It was not on the time table, and the engineer of the London train probably knew nothing about it until too late. News rrom Crook's Commanp up to August 4 informs us that the Fifth cavalry had joined General Crook and that the entire expedition was about to start in light march- ing order and with supplies for fifteen days down the Tongue River. The hostile Ind- fans are said to be moving leisurely east- ward down the Little Big Horn. ® parallel line with the Indian advance, and will prevent their coming to the agen- cies, while Terry, who starts up the Rose- bud to-morrow, will help to “corral” them effectively if they cross the divide to attack Crook. Above all it gives the two columns * @ chance of joining forces without great risk of being beaten in detail. If Crook’s move can keep the attention of the savages long enough an opportunity may be given to strike that ‘decisive blow” which we are Crook's | move is evidently a prudent one, as. it isin | NEW YORK Central Africa—Mr. Stanley's Letters. We submit to our readers this morning the first instalment, in full, of the series of letters from Mr. Stanley, in Central Africa, of which, in a special despatch from Lon- don, we published a brief summary some ten days ago. That was a mere outline, covering a period of nearly a year, of the perilous adventures by land and water, the marvellous escapes and interesting and wonderful discoveries of this Anglo-Amer- ican expedition, under its persevering chief, of which we give to-day a portion of the completed panorama—and a vivid and life- like picture it is—of new lands revealed to | the civilized world, of hospitable and gen- erous native kings, of treacherous and war- like tribes, of tropical islands rich in their natural productions beyond description, of snow-clad mountains and burning plains, of strange pale faces and many natural curi- osities, of festivals and battles, and Ot moving accidents by flood and fleld, more fascinating than the brightest crea- tions of the poet or the boldest flights of the imagination. In this narrative of Mr. Stanley’s explora- tions, though modestly presented, his skill, courage, prudence, sagacity and fertility in resources in every emergency of doubt and danger cannot fail to attract the reader’s at- tention. It will next be perceived that on } the verge of his most important field of re- search he would have been checked and driven back but for the invaluable assistance of his faithful friend and generous ally, the intelligent native King, Mtesa, of the rich and populous country of Uganda. To the timely and liberal support, in men and means, from this enlightened African barba- rian we are indebted for the discoveries of Mr. Stanley in that most interesting land under the Equator lying between the great lakes Victoria and Albert Niyanza. We sympathize with the devoted explorer in his disappointments in consequence of the fero- cious savage tribes which barred his passage through their domains and thus prevented the full reconnoissance of that wonderful re- gion and of the Lake Albert which he had contemplated. Nevertheless, as Pacha Gor- don and Professor Gessi, between them, have explored Lake Albert from end to end, we hope to be able to present a complete map (a few points only excepted) of both those great lakes, and of the watersheds between them and around them, and of the enormous drainage which, from that vast and rainy equatorial basin, gives through those great lakes his ample and unfailing volume to the grand old Nile. From Mr. Stanley’s researches on that great divide, as we may call it, lying be- tween the lakes Albert and Victoria, it is itself a country of many beautiful lakes and of lofty mountains, fertile valleys and plains, inhabited by warlike tribes of savages, through whose dominions there is no pas- sage to the intruding stranger except at the head of a powerfularmy. In the drainage of this divide tributary to the Victoria Lake, and in the Kagera River, which is a chain of slakes, Mr. Stanley thinks he has discovered the true parent ofthe Victoria Nile, from the comparatively heavy volume of the stream. We adhere, however, to his first opin on, that in the Shimeeyu, which, rising below | the fourth degree of south latitude after a course of over four hundred miles north- ward, is discharged into the Victoria Lake, we have the real head stream of the Nile. The most interesting to the ethnologist of all the discoveries of Mr. Stanley is the pale- faced race of evidently aboriginal Africans, inhabiting the temperate climate of the elevated slopes of the great mountain Gam- baragara. Our trustworthy explorer says that he has seen some half a dozen of these people; that they area handsome race, and some of the women are singularly beautiful; that their hair is kinky, but inclined to brown in color; that they have regular fea- tures and thin lips; but that ‘their noses, though well shaped, are thick at the point.” After the tribe of dwarfs of the west coast of Equatorial Africa, unearthed by Du Chaillu, and the strange races discovered by Schwein- furth in the country tributary to the Bahr- el-Ghazal, one of the great feeders of the Nile, we can entertain no doubt of the existence of this race of pale-faced Africans, gradually bleached from their moist and temperate climate of Mount Gam- baragara, through many — generations, to their present light complexions. In a word, there are as many different types of the African family in Africa as there are of the so-called Caucasian race in Europe. Usongoro, a country bordering on Lake Albert, Mr. Stanley describes from report “as a very land of wonders,” with its salt lakes, its hills of rock salt, its plains en- crusted with salt and alkali, its large dogs of extraordinary ferocity, ‘‘and a race of such long-legged natives that ordinary mortals re- gard them with surprise and awe.” And why should we doubt the existence of even these long-legged Africans, when, near the south cape of the continent, there is a short- legged race of natives, the most repulsive. | caricatures of humanity gifted with the faculty of speech? Turning to the geographical results of these explorations of Mr. Stanley within the equatorial basin of the Nile, he has definitely determined the arca, the length and breadth, the configuration, the coast line, the afilu- ents and outlets of the great Victoria Lake and the character of the countries and of the numerous savage tribes on its borders. He has also penetrated farther into the elevated plateau between the two great lakes, Victoria and Albert, and has learned more of its geographical ‘fea- tures, its natural curiosities and its warlike tribes than any preceding explorer. In all these trying and perilous labors, and partic- ularly in the friendly relations established with the King, or Emperor, Mtesa, Mr. Stan- ley has opened the way for the Christian missionary, colonist and trader. In letters from Mr. Stanley that remain for publication we are informed that his future line of operations is undetermined; but that his admirable yacht, the Lady Alice, he may strike northward and endeavor to reach Lake Albert from its western side. We hope that he may succeed in this undertaking, and that he will, in the Lady Alice, not only makes a thorongh exploration of the lofty western shore line of the lake, but will de. termine the destination of the outlet of that after a reconnoissance of Lake Tanganyika, in | HERALD. WEDNESDAY, lake recently discovered by Pacha Gordon. The outlet found by Sir Samuel Baker is the Nile, but this one newly discov- ered flows westward, and whether its course is continuously westward to the Atlantic, or around into the Nile, through the Bahr-el-Ghazal, is the question to be settled. We have no doubt that the two outlets of the Albert Lake are the two arms | of the Upper Nile; but the fact remains to be established. From Ujiji we think it highly probable that, from the revival there of his recollec- tions of his old friend Dr. Livingstone, and of his unfinished work of ascertaining the destination of his great interior river, the Lualaba, Mr. Stanley has moved westward for the solution of that problem, unless his own measurements of the altitude of Lake ‘Tanganyika have satisfied him that that great interior basin does not belong to the drain- age of the Nile. Lieutenant Cameron, from his careful observations, has settled this question ; but he has not, from following the stream, established the fact that the Lua- laba is the Congo. This is his conclusion, from the ascertained level above the sea of the river, but it may be discharged into some interior lake that has no outlet, or it may pass into the Atlantic through a chan- nel of its own north of the Congo. In conclusion, the inquiry recurs, What does all this signify, or what practical benefits to mankind are to flow from these African explorations? We have anticipated this inquiry, but we again answer that within the last fifteen years these African explorers have opened in Central Africa a new world of fertile lands, of limitless capa- bilities in the production of all the great staples of the temperate and torrid zones, a new world of broad domains, in which the native tribes and European celonists, as in South Africa, may be blended in the build- ing up of prosperous Christian States and new markets even for the manufactures of Lowell and Philadelphia. Meantime, the services to civilization, humanity and Chris- tianity rendered by Mr. Stanley in his African labors will speak for themselves, as, for example, in the abolition of the great slave market and slave trade at Zanzibar, and in the various movements set afoot for the general suppression of this infamous traflic. ‘Thus, with the opening of the sealed books of Africa, begins the emancipation and elevation of her tractable native races, and such are already the ripening fruits of Stanley's explorations. We Compiarn or THE Heat in New York, but in comparison with that of the North- west during yesterday we may be said to enjoy a low temperature. Owing to the de- velopment of another storm centre in the region of the Upper Missouri the afternoon of yesterday brought intense heat, a corre- sponding fall in the scale of atmospheric pressure and high winds in Dakota, Min- nesota and Nebraska. ‘Thus, at Bismarck, Dakota, the thermometer indicated 103 de- grees and the barometer 29.22 inches, while at Fort Sully, over one hundred and fifty miles to the southward, the mercury rose to 104 degrees and the barometer showed only 29.42 inches of pressure. From these conditions we at once infer that the storm centre must be moving over or very near to the scene of the Indian war in the Yellow- stone Valley, where, doubtless, copious rains will extinguish the grass fires kindled by the hostile Sioux around the military camps. Rains have prevailed in Nova Scotia and in the Gulf and the Ohio Valley States. In- tense heat has been experienced all over the country except in the extreme South, where the weather has been cool for that latitude. To-day the heat will increase in New York, with a slowly falling barometer and partly cloudy or fair weather. We announce the advance of the Northwestern storm centre, and the probability of its arrival in our vicinity by the end of this week. Wire tae Tnxs i THe Trvox Vater it was tolerably certain that Saitschar could not hold out against them, and its abandonment without a fight was the wisest thing under the circumstances that the Servian General, Leschjanin, could have done. The Servians have now, as stated by our speeial corre- spondent, withdrawn into the Morava Valley, fortifying the passes in the rugged moun- tains that guard it, and there await their fate. , They can run no further. What can be done with an army so demoralized as that of Servia it is hard*to tell; but, judged by the presumptuous over-con fidence of its generals and the want of steadiness of its rank and file since the war began, we cannot hope for much now. There isa bare possibility that such a disaster as overtook Mukhtar Pacha in Herzegovina awaits Osman Pacha in the mountains of Servia, but it is difficult to credit the latter commander with the impra- dence which led to Mukhtar's terrible defeat. The war, for the numbers engaged, has been very bloody so far, but the next operations will prove bloodier still. Tue Hamscno Massacre aNp THE MoLirE Macuirus.—The democratic newspapers ask why does not the republican party arraign the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as in a state of anarchy because of the Mollie Ma- guire murders in the coal regions, just as its leaders arraign South Carolina for the Hamburg massacres. This is not a fair com- parison. What we see in South Carolina we have seen throughout the South. If the Mollie Maguires were to gain possession of a State as the White Leagues did of Louisiana, if it was shown that they controlled the militia and threatened to overthrow Com- monwealths, the case would be parallel. The Mollie Maguires have been arrested, tried, and some will be hanged. When we hear ot a Southern white man being hanged for killing a negro, under circumstances like those of Hamburg, we shall admit the parallel. Gnrexn and Srepsixs.—Colonel Stebbins writes a handsome letter in defence of Comptroller Green. This is handsome on the part of the Colonel. The worst that can be said of Mr. Green is that his manners are gruff at times, But this was said of Jackson and Stanton. If anything would spoil the man- ners even of a Chesterfield it would be five years’ battle with the thieves whd swarm around the city treasury and with the idiots who run the Mayor's office. Our treasury needs a watchdog, and people do not select watchdogs for their manners, They prefer teeth, ‘ AUGUST 9, 1876.—WITH SUPPLEMENT. The Civil Service. The best people in both parties heve no higher hope than that one of the reforms to be secured by this election will bean efficient civil service. A good deal of nonsense has been written about this. Some critics fear that the desire is to create an aristocracy in civil service, offices going down from father to son, incapable officials kept in power for life, and so on. Others think that if Tilden came into the Presidency he could appoint none to office except to fill vacancies by death or resignation ; that all departments of the government should remain as they are. The same is expected from Hayes should he become President. No true friend of civil service reform takes this view. It is ex- pected that » new President will fill the high offices of the government with his friends. All officers coming into confidential relations with the Executive will necessarily be changed. To this we might add the chief missions, the heads of all the bureaus, the officers of Territories, perhaps the chief revenue officers in the great cities which custom assigns to political leaders. Beyond this we would not go. The great body of clerks, postmasters, special agents, and so on, should be kept as intact as @ position in the army or the navy. Civil service thus understood would take from the President nine-tenths of his patronage and would be ao relief to him. As it now stands he is open to the solicitations of every political vagabond who can obtain the indorsement of a Congress- man. ‘The efficiency of the office is de- stroyed by becoming a kind of official auc- tion.’ The President has no time for the higher affairs of State As Mr. Tilden will carry into office a great intellect, and as it is on record that in three months he will settle the finances and _ restore business prosperity, he will need all his time to himself. All that is necessary to carry out civil service reform is nerve. The President who goes about it conscientiously must expect to fight the whole influence of his party. Senators and members may talk civil service reform, but they do not mean it. Grant tried his best, but they swarmed over him and defeated him. If Grant had trusted the country and defied the politicians he would have won. But he lacked nerve and allowed false friends to lead him from his purpose, Of the two letters, so far as civil service is concerned, we prefer that of Hayes. He puts himself on record in such a way that he can- not retreat without dishonor. There is nothing in Tilden’s letter to prevent his re- moving every office-holder in thirty days. Hayes closes the door of patronage. Tilden leaves itajar. Butwhoever wins thecountry will be sorely disappointed if we do not have civil service reform in its best sense, The Silver Question. The idea advanced by crazy statesmen like Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, that there can be a double standard in money, a silver value anda gold value, is absurd. The value of money is, in fact, artificial. It is the result of a commercial compact or un- derstanding. Gold has been selected be- cause of its value, and because the purchas- ing power of gold was greater, in proportion to its weight, than any other metal. Thusa gold token that could be held on the finger nail was found to be worth so much corn and wheat and cloth The laboring man found that a day's labor entitled him to so much corn and wheat and cloth. He accepted the gold as the representative of the wages he had earned. Now, if by the discovery of vast gold.deposits, the purchasing power of this gold token was to fall as silver has fallen, it would be our duty to readjust its value. So- ciety would demand it, has demanded it, whenever there has been a rise in commodi- ties. Thus far gold has remained so steady, or has fallen so little and so imperceptibly, that society accepts it as the standard of value. There can be no other. If we have asilver standard we should have a copper and anickel standard. Silver, the moment its value is subject to commercial fluctua- tions, ceases to be honest money. We may use it as half dollars, dimes, and so on, as a convenience, as we do the paper currency. People like to feelit. The silver token is worth more intrinsically than the paper token, and hence people prefer it. But when our credit advances to a specie basis the popularity of silver will fall. It is better for us to have silver a commod- ity. We would much rather have cheap silver than silver as it has been for a cen- tury. Silveris one of the most useful of | the metals. Cheap silver is as important to us as cheap iron and cheap coal. As money it served one use. As a commodity it serves a hundred uses. The attempt to give silver @ permanent money value is only a specula- tion to keep up the price of the silver mines of Nevada. We believe in one specie value, represented by gold. We believe in cheap silver, and the more our people consider the question the more they will be disposed to regard the Bonanza Silver bill as a foolish and wicked scheme to strengthen mining stocks in Nevada at the expense of the pub- lic credit. Wir Ovr ComPimrests To Lory Drnsy.— A citizen of Pennsylvania, after forging pa- perto the amount of some hundreds of thousands of dollars, has sailed for England. The old mother land has become a paradise for forgers, thieves and vagabonds generally. Itisareflection upon our civilizatiom that in this nineteenth century two nations like England and America should be without a treaty of extradition. We could pick outa half dozen men at random on Broadway or Piccadilly who could arrange a treaty in an hour—a sound, sensible, wholesome treaty. Yet Mr. Fishand Lord Derby, Mr. Pierre- pont and Sir Edward Thomton will potter over it, and talk, and telegraph, and agree and disagree, and confer and write de- spatches, and quarrel and take months to arrange a treaty. In the meantime the ras- cals have a splendid time and two great nations are little more than asylums of refuge for each other's criminals. Tur Hexpricks Puax.—In his letter of acceptance Mr. Hendricks thinks the troubles in the South will not be settled until the democrats are in power. The republicans will tell us that what Mr. Hendricks means is that the democrats will keep on shooting until they are in power. But this is not his meaning. He sees clearly that the whites mean to rule the Southern States and that peace will only come when they have as- serted that right. Unless we take the plan of Boutwell and remand those States tc their Territorial position (which is not to be tol- erated) there will be no peace in the South until the plan of Mr. Hendricks is adopted. We may as well accept this fact. We cannot prevent it. The Triumph of an KEditor—A Hint t the Democrats. The election of Henry Watterson to Congress from Louisville seems to have been an extraordinary event. Fifteen thousand votes were cast, and only five hundred went to his opponent, who was an independent democrat. It was understood that this result was a tribute to a leading journalist, and it shows how much the people are apt to believe in an editor who serves them with honesty and independ- ence. The triumph of Watterson only con- firms us in our advice to the Domocratic Convention to nominate Manton Marble for Governor, Mr. Marble is also a great jour- nalist like Mr. Watterson, and for years has held aloft with undaunted courage the for- lorn banner of the democracy. Now is the time to honor that fidelity and nominate a candidate who will sweep New York as Wat- terson swept Louisville. All the journalists would support Mr. Marble for professional Teasons, All the clergymen would support him because he was, as a journalist, the ex- ponent of sound religious doctrines. John Kelly would support him because John hates Dorsheimer, ihe ladies would support him because of his personal charms. Mr. Marble is a much handsomer man than Mr. Watterson, and for that matter so is Mr. Dorsheimer. The democratic ticket, with Marble and Dorsheimer at the head, would be an artistic ticket. In that respect it would be much more attractive than the re- publican ticket with Evarts and White. Let the democrats ponder over the success of a great editor in Kentucky, and try their luck with a great editor in New York. Chamberlain. The country is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the Governor of South Carolina for his failure to arrest and bring to punishment the authors of the Hamburg massacre. It cannot be said that his power has been resisted, be- cause he has not made any effort. If he tried and failed, if it was seen that General Butler and his friends resisted the powers of the law, then there might be some reason for the interference of the federal ‘power. But, so far from resisting the State authori- ties, Butler and his friends have offered themselves for trial. The timidity or the incapacity of these Southern Governors does the republican cause harm. At the first signal of alarm they run to the President. When McEnery arose against Kellogg in Louisiana that ‘abject coward ran to the Cus- tom House, and remained there until the federal troops restored him. When the Hamburg massacres took place Chamberlain ran to the President instead of taking a posse, going down to Hamburg and arresting every man who had any hand in the massa- cre. Such an act would have strengthened him and his cause. His hesitancy and timidity have led to the impression that the massacre was political and that its best use was as a@ campaign document. Dors Haznpricks Mean to Wry ?—Some shrewd politicians are asking if Mr, Hen- dricks really cares to win. They point out that his course on the financial questions is only consistent with the theory that the defeat of the democratic ticket now is his gain four years from now. They answer the imputation of disloyalty to Tilden by show- ing that when Allen was‘ running for Gov- ernor of Ohio Tilden’s friends opposed him on the ground that Allen's defeat as an infla- tionist would help a hard money candidate at St. Louis. Why, they argue, should not Hendricks pay Tilden back in his own coin? The question is worthy of consideration by our democratic statesmen in the East. Grant axp THE Watskey Lyvest1GaTI0¥.— The history of the celebrated phrase, ‘Let no guilty person escape,” as told by Blu- ford Wilson under the pressure of cross-ex- amination, is very much to the credit of the President. It shows that he meant General Babcock. It shows that he challenged investigation into those who were nearest tohim. Somehow, whenever the record of the President, so faras personal honesty is concerned, goes into the crucible of investigation, the result makes us more and more proud of the hero of Appomattox, of the man who, whatever his faults, will live in our history as one of its most illustricus figures. F ConkLInc ON THE Wanpata.—The rumor that Senator Conkling is going to Saratoga on the warpath is confirmed. He will make things interesting, but we question the wis- dom of such a course. His policy is peace, pationce and waiting for 1880. He can gain nothing by a fight now, and ina year or two the alliance that opposes him will have dis solved. We can understand his desire to aid as true a friend and as good amanas Mr. Cornell. But Mr. Cornell's nomigation now would injure his own prospects, which, for a young man, are very bright. Tue Poor anv Raprp Transtt.—When we think of the wretched and suffering poor thrown into this densely crowded city on these terrible nights, when we hear of them sleeping on sidewalks and rooftops, when wo read of the increasing numberof deaths from cholera infantum, we think what a blessing rapid transit would be to them. It would open the beautiful open country in Westchester and enable every poor man to have a home, with sunshine, fresh air, good water and an occasional glimpse of the green fields. Mexico's Present Trovsie is an extraor- dinary tax, the attempted revolution of Porfirio Diaz having fizzled out ingloriously. Tho worst feature of these rebellions is the manner in which the government allows the leading rebels to escape all consequences of their crimes against order and being con- tented with simply leaving the rebel forces to disband when they see success hopelessly ; removed. ‘There is nothing ‘‘thorough” about the government, ———$—$—$$ a Turkish Atroctties. The article from the London Timesof yeater- day, which has been cabled here, sets the popular opinion of ‘England on the wholesale massacres in Bulgaria in clear light. For State purposes the Disraeli Ministry have, during the past two months, adopted the apologetic tone to which the Times refers, and while saying jauntily that things were not so bad as the Daily News reported, took care through the party press and such papers as the Pall Mal Gazelte to prepare the public for laying the blame of the slaughter on the unfortunate victims themselves. All this has been neatly exposed in the Times article. Ii should be observed, however, that the con- cern of the English people in the matte: arises from the fact that a very slight turn of circumstances may make them the allies of the inhuman monsters who burn villages and murder peaceable villagers in cold blood ; who follow up every warlike success with incendiarism and atrocities of the most, horrible and filthy character. The attempts of the Ministry to clog official inquiry and pooh-pooh the murders and ravishings hate, therefore, a special meaning. If Russia were to step into Servia to-morrow all this English squeamishness would disappear in an attack of Russophebia, and Disraeli is simply trying to keep unofficial England from denouncing too loudly the only friend, however blood-stained, Great Britain is likely to have if tho war dogs are let slip. How Disraeli must inwardly delight in the irony of the position ! A Wisz Jupcr.—Judge Goepp, of the Marine Court, is an honor to théBench. A case came before him the other day in which it was necessary to have the appearance of Hannah Osterhoudt. Now, an ordinary judge would have directed an advertisement to be published in some of the miserable journals which live on drippings, but which no one sees, or in some of our legal papers which have no circulation. This, in fact, is what judges are doing all the time, and cor- ruptly, we think, as they defeat the ends of justice. But Judge Goepp said:—‘‘Let the plaintiff advertise onte a week, for three suc- cessive weeks, in the personal column of the New Yorx Hxratp, that Hannah Osterhoudt is required to report to the Marine Court in New York city.” The Judge, like an honest magistrate, wants to find Hannah in order that she may have justice, and, instead of throwing a bone to some starving Bohemian, he seeks the personal column of the Hxrap, which all the world reads. Judge Goepp, we observe, has come out for Tilden. Uncle Sammy will, we trust, if he has the chance, put him on the Supreme Bench. He is a wise and thoughtful judge, and knows how to administer justice. Tue Canapa Inprans.—The Canadian au- thorities say that none of their Indian tribes have joined Sitting Bull in his raid on our frontiers. We wish we could feel sure of this. The Canada Indians are by no means friendly to the Yankee. They sympathize with the Sioux chief. More than all, they are Indians, and the warpath has fascina- tions. Many of our own peaceful Indians, like Kill Eagle and the son of Red Cloud, have gone from the reservations to fight our troops. Our agencies have been made the hospitals for Sitting Bull as well as depots of supplies, We haveno doubt the Cana- dian agencies serve the same purpose, and that Sitting Bull has under his command every available Indian he can find, whether from the American or British side, 4 Wuat Is raz Trurs Asout THe SovrH?—: This is the question which everybody is asking, especially with two reports on the Mississippi case—one from Boutwell, the other from Bayard. Now, Boutwell and Bayard are both honorable men. They are men of courage and ability. They go to Mississippi and return, one say- ing, “Everything is black ;” the other, “Everything is white.” The truth is that both are right and both are wrong. There has been a good deal of trouble in Mississippi, shooting and stealing ranking among the prevailing industries. Lamaz seoms to be the only statesman in Congress from the South. His speech on Hamburg and his vote against the repeal of the Resumption bill entitle him to the thanks of the country.
