NEW YORK, SUNDAY, SE ER 10, 1876, From our reports this morning the probabilities are that the weather to-day will be slightly warmer and cloudy, possibly with rain. During the summer months the Hrnaup will be sent to subscribers in the country at the rate of dwenty-sive cents per week, free of postage. Warn Srneet Yesterpay.—Speculation was moderately active and business fairly iistributed on a generally firm market. Gold opened at 109 7-8 and closed at 110 3-8. These were the opposite extremes, interme- diate sales being made at 110 1-8 a 110 1-4. Government bonds were quiet and firm. Railroad bonds were in moderately good request and somewhat irregular, but gener- ally strong. Money on call was in abun- dant supply at 1 a1 1-2 «2 per cent, Turret Was Some Goop Snoorrxe for the Subscription Cup by the Narragansett Gun + Club, at Newport, yesterday. The attend- ance was large and distinguished, and the winner, a son of the Inte General Halleck, was a ‘dark horse.” He will not rank as one in future contests. Exotanp Is Dergrty Srmnep on the Eastern question. Mr. Gladstone yester- flay addressed his constituents on that question, and Mr. Forster, the liberal mem- ber of Parliament for Bradford, has gone to Bulgaria to investigate the facts concerning the Turkish atrocities. As Earl Derby has arranged to receive a deputation to-morrow it is supposed that he will take that occasion to defend or explain the Ministerial policy. Tne Escare of Patrick Cody, confined on a charge of felonious assault, from the Fiity-seventh Street Court Prison is a mat- terthat needs investigation. The prisoner ought to have been sent to the Tombs on the preceding day. He was kept over at Fifty-seventh street without authority, and his escape looks very much as if some of the prison people were not unwiliing that he should take his departure. No New Mirrrany Movements are reported from the seat of the Turkish war, but the report of the severe repuise of Dervish Pacha’s attack is confirmed, and it is said that eight hundred Turks were killed and one thousand driven into the River Morat- scha and drowned. A report by way of Vienna states that the party in favor of deal- ing severely with the insurgents has the as- eendancy in the Turkish Ministry. Anovt Tren Days Aco Mrs. Law, of Phila- delphia, was robbed of some four or five thousand dollars’ worth of jewelry at the Howland House, at Long Branch, where she was spending the summer. Her room was entered and the jewelry stolen while Mrs. Law was in the surf. The thief has been eaptured and turns out to be a regular operator. It is hoped that the lady will get back her trinkets and that several other Long ranch visitors will obtain a clew as to she destination of articles of value which have been lost during the summer. Tur ‘Pay vy Iystarments” business is no doubt sometimesa convenience to the poor, bat is open to a great deal of injustice A ease was before the courts yesterday in which all but four dollars had been paid on fifty-five dollars’ worth of furniture and de- fault made, whereupon the creditor seized the furniture and removed it. A jury, how- iver, gave the property back to the pur- shaser on payment of the balance dne. Phere should be some law regulating this business and protecting those who are com- pelled to buy on such terms from being im- posed upon. ‘Tue Famous Jumen Estate Case is again before the courts. This time the suit, which makes Nelson Chase again defendant, is brought by the French heirs, who claim to inherit as the heirs-at-law of Stephen Ju- mel, now that Mme. Jumel’s life interest has ceased. In the former case the issue turned on the will of the late Mme. Jumel, but in the present suit that instrament is brushed on one side. The new plaintifls will be represented by abie counsel, and if Ur. Charles O’Conor remains to head the legal array on the defendant's side the contest will be # notable one. Within a short time there will be com- pleted at Hallett’s Point the most important labor yet undertaken in our country for the improvement of navigation, because the removal ot Blossom Rock, in the harbor of San Francisco, though a beautiful triumph of science, cannot be compared to the opera- tion in the East River, either for the difficul- ties encountered or for the importance of the result contemplated. Itis ten years since General Newton began operations here, and seven years since he made his first assault on the great obstacle that he will, in a few days hence, shiver to atoms by one gigantic blow. In this period the government has spent nine hundred thousand dollars on this operation, and it is estimated that the final cost, with the labor completed, will be one million and a quarter of dollars. It may be interesting to recall, as an evidence of the happy accuracy of an engineer's calcula- tions, as well as of the probity of his expen- ditures, that General Newton's original esti- mate of the cost was one million dollars. In our city government it is well known that public enterprises, the estimated cost of which is one million dollars, are never finished for less than four or five millions. By the blast at Hallett’s Point Hell Gate will bo blown permanently open. The fierce whirl of the waters that has continued from the time of the discovery, and that suggested first the imaginative name of the place, will be tranquillized forever. All that storm and roar, that seething fury, that passionate rush of the waves from rock to rock, all the scene of restless agitation so terrible to the navigator even with steam and every other power in his favor, will cease to be a feature in tho East River scenery; and the strong current from the Sound now rushing by Hallett’s Point will fall swiftly and smoothly into the East River and spend its force, if it has any superfluity, in fretting away some portion of the Long Island shore. There has often been caused at that point in one year loss enough to more than pay for the labor now so nearly ended, and the total prevention of marine losses that this improvement makes possible; the safety to life and property that it secures ; the manifold advantages that it opens in an important approach to the commercial mo- tropolis of the country, stamps this labor as one of the wisest and most beneficent ever undertaken by the general government. It appears to have been thought that the im- provement of this passage would induce steamers from Europe to enter our port by way of the Sound; but this is an error. Navigation in the Sound for large steamers is far less safe than by sea, and the way by seais actually shorter. To the many dan- gers of navigation in the Sound there are no equivalents by the ordinary route; for, though many a ‘‘tall admiral” lies buried in the sands of the Jersey coast, it is thought among sailors that Squan Beach is not the necessary destination of any vessel when the seamanship is thoroughly good. It is probable, however, that traffic by the East River and the Sound may be greatly stimulated by this improvement of the navigation, and more especially the traflic in freight, and it might not be an idle speculation to anticipate that between the effect of the Hell Gate improvement and the effect that the East River Bridge may have there will be in the early fature a very great change within the city, particularly in the location of all the great houses engaged in certain trades. Changes of this nature take place at every period in the growth of cities. In the period when the Park was our north- erly limit the important retail trade that grew out beyond was determined in its direction by the populousness of the East River slope, and Chatham street and the Bowery bade fair to become the line of our main street. But ina time of larger ideas and under the influence of the ambitious schemes of property holders Broadway grew up to eclipse its older rival, while the Bowery has steadily gone down at the heels for twenty years, Perhaps it was the movement of the hotels with accommodation for country mer- chants that determined the extensive migra- tion of the wholesale dry goods men out of Pearl street into their present neighborhdod. Changes that are certainly quite as impor- tant seem likely to determine the distribution of the shipping trade rather than the migra- tion of the whole trade. It is, for instance, apprehended that the bridge will become an obstacle to the passage of large ships up the East River. Should this be realized ship- owners and merchants may be annoyed, but they will not propose the removal of the bridge. On the contrary, they will observe that the whole water line on the East River below the bridge and for ten miles up the North River is open to them, and they will not insist upon passing the bridge. On the theory of the comic actor who suggested to his audience that it was easier for them to get used to his ugly tace than for him to change it our reasonable mer- chants will accommodate themselves to the circumstances and take the easiest course ; and the East River above the bridge will be without ships. Dock accommodation there will become cheap, and the increased de- mand on the other side will make it corre- spondingly dear there; and the traffic by way of the Sound will gravitate to the part of the water front above the bridge. That will shorten the Sound trip half an hour, will bring the boats near to the great hotels and to the homes of the travelling public. It will avoid aiso the running those gigantic steamers across the lines of a dozen ferries just at the time when the ferryboats are For since we have been insane enough to build a bridge that is not to be crossed by a steam railway there will be as many ferryboats as ever. Indeed, while the use of steam on the bridge is only considered os a possibility it. is not clear that that structure is likely to be of the great importance in regard to the movement of population that it was thought it must prove. People will use the ferries rather than cross the bridge in horse cars, while the district of cheap rents on the out- skirts of Brooklyn that it was thought might be reached in half an hour by steam trains starting from near the City Hall becomes to the speculative eye of the poor man a van- ishing quantity. This is a calamity, as other projects of rapid transit between home and labor are under a cloud in the courts. An event of the moment is before us as crowded. wth of the City. | an illustration in its way of the growth of the city, and it is at the same time an illus- tration of the inevitable way in which our city grows longitudinally as to its regular pro- gress. Other cities grow in almost every con- ceivable manner, but mostly like the great oaks, to which every year adds a ring of sap- wood, In that way the change in the location of social centres is slowly made, and at its utmost is not great., It required a hundred years to remove the social world of London from Bloomsbury to the present West End, and in Paris the Faubourg St. Germain re- tains its character with almost the constancy of the polar star. But the latest removal of Delmonico emphasizes the fact that in this city the social centre of gravity has been changed within forty-five years from Wall street to Madison square. It was the ob- servation of old Dr. Francis that a physician in good practice in this city had to change his’residence once in ten years in order to keep pace with the movement up town of his patients, Otherwise the people only sent “down town” for the family doctor on serious occasions, and for all lighter emer- gencies called in some practitioner from over the way or round the corner. But physicians have always been more numer- ous than Delmonicos, and people will rather take the chances as to the capacity of a doctor than as to the quality of adinner; wherefore the advance of the restaurant has been slower than that laid down for the medical man. In fifteen years, however, our city acquires such a growth that the restaurant which caters to the cul- tured palate and the ample purse is left be- hind if it does not move. In the Delmonico annals there is seen the remarkable fact that while the first restaurant down town was established for a custom such as recently favored the one at Fourteenth street, it re- mains near the same original site, not asa centre of social festivities merely, but as the necessity of a busy public whose attention can be diverted from financial problems only by culinary skill. That district which was once the whole city is now held only as the special district of the money interests, and the class that walked on the Battery in those days now saunter on the Mall. Last Day of the Team Practice. Yesterday was the last day on which the competing teams in the great international match can practise at Creedmoor previous to the contest. Much interest therefore at- taches to their final test of marksmanship before they are arrayed in line before the targets to strive for the Centennial trophy. Four teams appeared on the ground yester- day—namely, the Irish, Scottish, Canadian and American, the Australians being prob- ably satisfied with their experimental work and desirous of enjoying a good rest before the battle. Among the practising teams the Irishmen took o decided lead, which, if we are to judge by such a success, gives that team more than a good chance of winning. ‘Their average was 0.8661, the highest made yet by any of the teams and beating that made by the Scotchmen on Fri- day, which was 0.8638. Yesterday the latter made 0.8527, which must be regarded as a very fine result and not in the least reduc- ing their chances of victory on Tuesday and Wednesday next. The American team comes next, with a slightly lower average than that of the Seotch—namely, 0.8505. This, how- ever, shows that the Americans aro keeping up to their standard Very steadily, and, while the showing is not brilliant, it still retains that respectability which may lead to final triumph. The Canadian team made the lowest average of any yesterday—namely, 0.8400. This is a decided falling off from the work of the team the day before, and forces us to place them farther trom the front rank than we had anticipated. As the order of merit now stands it shows the Irish riflemen first, the Scotch second, Australia third, America fourth and Canada in the last position, The fever of the fight may bring about a change in the order of rel- ative merit, but itis to be supposed that all will feel equally the necessity of ex- traordinary efforts. Although low down in the ranks during the practice trials we still have the utmost confidence in our own men and in that American grit which has so often reached victory from almost the shadow of defeat. The judicious substitution of such splendid marksmen as Gildersleeve ond Bodine for Yale and Bruce gives us in- creased confidence in a victory for our team; but the change should have been made earlier. Let our men, however, do their utmost to win; more we cannot ex- pect of them and more we should not de- mand, Tae Weatuer.—The area of low barome- ter, which we announced as being central in the Mississippi Valley, and from which the section was detached that passed us on Thursday morning, has now moved eastward toward the Ohio Valley, and there is a prob- ability that it will reach us to-night or during to-morrow. Rains continue to prevail along the lower Inke re- gion and in the Northwest. The rain area extended yesterday afternoon from Pittsburg to Pembina, with a remarkably heavy fall along the Upper Mississippi. Rains also occurred through the Gulf States, particularly along.the coast. The course of the approaching disturbance, as at present in- dicated, will be over Pittsburg and Albany, toward the New England States. The effects at New York may be limited to a more or less heavy rainfall; but the passage of the storm centre will be followed in this vicinity by strong and cold northwesterly winds. ‘To-day the weather in New York will be cloudy and slightly warmer, with, possibly, rain. Tur Franat he Henan special cable despatch from Paris happily contradicts em- phatically the reported mutiny on the Frank- lin. A despatch received in Paris, dated at Leghorn yesterday, reports the Franklin at Spezzia, whence she was to sail on the 15th for Villafranca. While the story of the mutiny received but little credence the Henaxp special will be gratifying to all who have friends on the Franklin. Tue Gnreexnicxrns have called a conven- tion at Albany on the 26th inst. to nomi- nate Presidential electors and a full State ticket. If these gentlemen want more green- backs they ought to go for the candidates who have ‘‘bar'ls of money,” Tweed's Capture Confirmed. Tweed is found. There is no doubt of that. Our special cable despatches from Vigo conclusively prove that he is the man | who was seized by the Spanish authorities at Vigo, and tell the story of his flizht. It | might be possible that the Governor of Pontevedra should be mistaken in the iden- tity of the prisoner, but it is hardly possible that this chain of circumstantial evidence should result in an error. The story is direct and clear, consistent with itself, and is confirmed by the attendant facts. It | was known in July that Tweed was in San- tiago de Cuba, having arrived there from Havana. The American Consul applied to General Jovellar for his arrest and Jovellar was willing to seize him, but Tweed, warned of his danger, sailed in the bark Carmen, ac- cording to the cable despatches, on July 27. General Cushing then notiffed the Spanish government of the fact and strict orders were issued from Madrid to the local auhorities of all Spanish ports to arrest Tweed at once. On September 6 the Carmen arrived at Vigo and the Gov- ernor boarded her, recognized Tweed by his photograph and placed him and his compan- ion, William Hunt, in prison. They are to be sent to Havana in the Spanish mail steamer which sails on the 2lst inst. and surrendered to the American Consul. The only discrepancy in the whole account is this, that while the despatches say that the Carmen left Santiago de Cuba on July 27, and was forty-one days on her voyage, which agrees exactly with the date of her arrival, September 6, the Havana Weekly Report of August 5 says in its marine news that the Carmen sailed July 22 for Barcelona via Vigo. But the 22d may have been the day of her clearance. With the exception of this slight contradiction the statement is as con- sistent as emphatic. That Tweed is cap- tured there is no longer any ressonable doubt. The action of the Spanish government and of General Jovellar deserves the highest praise and the gratitude of the American nation. General Jovellar, it is said, was anxious to return, by Tweed's arrest, the courtesy shown by the Americans in the Arguelles case some years ago. That Spain might be controlled by a spirit of comity in this affair was suggested by us yesterday, when the rumor of Tweed’s capture was first heard, as a reply to the objection that the story could not be true because there is no treaty of extradition between Spain and the United States. We pointed out that Tweed was a notorious criminal, to whom shelter might be rightly denied, and the event proves that this view of the case was correct. It is to the honor of the Spanish government that it surrenders Tweed freely without a treaty of extradition, while with such a treaty England refused to give up Winslow. Who inspired the search for Tweed, where he had been from December to July, and who found him in Santiago de Cuba we have yet to learn. The details of the chase and the flight are unknown, but it is probable that he left this country for Cuba in a yacht and was concealed in some of the West India islands, thence going to Havana, and finally making his way to Santiago. But there is no rest for such an eminent fugitive. Emerson has said that there is one trouble in travel- | ling—that you must always take yourself along, and this is peculiarly true of Tweed. So well known are his form and features that he was always in the situation of the es- caped prisoner of whom Victor Hugo tells, | who sat down to rest beneath a handbill offering a reward for his capture. Now that we have practically got Tweed we shall probably hold him fast. Spain | having taken such extraordinary measures | to seize him will not fail to deliver him to our representative in Havana. He is held by | the Spanish government in trust for tho | United States. We may expect to see him in New York some time in October, unless some unusual accident occurs. What the effect of his return will be upon politics it is impossible to imagine. The presence of no other man is desired so much by some politicians, or to others would be as unwelcome. Tweed knows too much about New York politicians | and politics, and may be like nitro- | glycerine—dangerous if too roughly handled. It is possible that he has been betrayed in this arrest, and, if so, he may revenge him- self for the treachery. Palpit Topics To-Day. Each Sabbath now brings to our city pulpits some pastor who has been away re- | cruiting his health of mind and body for the | campaign already at hand. And the sub- jects which they choose to discuss with their freshened thought and renewed life indicate a high spiritual temperature not often found | so early in the season. It gives promise of victory in the days and weeks to come. Mr, Lloyd will tell his people what kind of seed to sow, how to sow it and what sort of a harvest | they may expect; also how to deal with honest sceptics, of which it is assumed thera | are very many in this day. Mr. Cook gives | an infallible cure for scepticism, which is to | take God into the conscience and to keep } Him there by secret prayer. Mr. Light- | bourn will preach the Word to the almost | Christians who may be in his congrega- tion to-day, and will try to fully persuade | them into the Christian life, which is, ac- cording to Mr. Jutten, a happy life, provided the tongue is bridled and kept, and provided also, according to Mr. McCarthy, the trifles | of home are attended to, for they make home | happy or miserable according to their use or | abuse. But amid them all the royal com- | mand of Mr. Herr should not be forgotten, | and duty should never give way to con- | venience. Mr. Barrett's Christian runner | should not forget nor set aside God's lead- | ings, since the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, for time and chance may come in as elements and rob both of | that after which they strive. If Mr. Leavell's | morning twilight is to brighten into spirit- | nal day the love of the world must not supersede the love of God in the human heart. Nor must we cling too tenaciously to | the old man, the body of death, which Mr. | Moment would have sloughed off as quickly | as the new and spiritual life develops it- | self. Mr. Hatfield will recall the life and times of tho patriarch Noah and draw appropriate lessons for our times | of his life. is unceasing. Pomeroy’s first victims when he gets out of prison should be some of those who have been so anxious to save him from tke gallows. | of the Grand Jury. therefrom. The past can always teach the present, the old can instruct the young, and hence Dr, Armitage will remain a little longer among the grandfathers of the Church, such as Moses, Joshua and Elisha. With these he will to-day renew the covenant of salt and drink again of the puri- fied fountain of Jericho. The “messenger of Christ” will tell his people where the everlasting kingdom of Christ and His re- deemed people will be, and Mrs. O'Gorman will discuss the school question, protesting against sectarian appropriations of money by State, county or municipality, and plead- ing for the retention of the Bible in the public schools. It is an almost threadbare topic, but it retains an interest for a certain: class yet and probably will while a shred of it remains intact. Growing Up In Jail. Massachusetts has at last decided to cheat the gallows in the case of Jesse Pomeroy, the ‘boy murderer,” and to confine him in prison, if he can be kept there, forthe rest The ladies of Boston have been persistent in their efforts to securea commu- tation of the death sentence, and have finally succeeded. When arrested, between twoand three years ago, Pomeroy was sixteen or seventeen years of age, making him now nineteen or twenty. Entering jail at that time of life, he became acclimated to the prison air and has grown strong and hearty, notwithstanding his confinement. Those who saw him at his trial would scarcely have recognized the boy murderer in the stalwart, powerful young man bronght forth by the jailer a day or two ayo to learn the result of the application in his case. Speculations were offered at the time of his first imprisonment as to how long it would be before he would break down and die ; but these have all been dis- appointed, and Pomeroy is’ now remarkable for his enormous build and his great mus- cular development. The probability is that he will escape, either by pretending reform or by one day murdering three or four of his jailers and breaking out of his prison by force. That he is shrewd and full of re- sources is proved by his well plotted crimes and by the keen analysis of his trial fur- nished by him to the Hrratp about a year ago: If he cannot obtain his liberty by cun- ningly exciting sympathy he will by brute strength, and then we shall suddenly hear of other mysterious murders, for it is as natural for Pomeroy to indulge in the sport of taking human life as for a cat to enjoy catching and killing mice. Of course his jailers may believe that they can watch him and prevent his escape, but they cannot. The vigilance of the keeper is sure at some time to relax, while that of the prisoner, watching night and day for the opportunity to regain his liberty—thinking of it, dream- ing of it and plotting for it all the time— It would be singular if Religious Press Comments, The trick and the muddle of the Saratoga Convention is the leading subject of com- ment in the Independent's last issue. It says somebody lied to and about Governor Sey- mour, and it leaves the democrats to decide who did the lying. Sareastically, the Jnde- pendent thinks that it isa very strong and har- monious party whose fate hangs on the can- didacy of Horatio Seymour. A coroner's in- quest to ascertain whether the party be dead, and if dead, who killed it, seems to our contemporary to be the next thing in order. The Observer's editor spent a little time in a political convention lately (prob- ably the State democratic), and the lesson that he carried away therefrom is that earn- estness commanded attention and nothing else would. And so it is in the Church. | Earnestness is more than gracefuiness; often it is more than sense. If, therefore, religious speakers were as earnest as political orators, the Observer thinks they would be far more efficient for Christ than they are now. The Churchman discusses the relative merits of satire and sermons, and finds that while many very good men in the pulpit fail toin- terest their congregations, who consider the preacher dull, a stray cat or poodle, which may find its way into the church, will do what the minister fails to do, and keep the eritics awake. ‘The plain truth seems to be,” says the Churchman, ‘that the infec- tious frivolity of the world produces and promotes a habit of undervaluing serious things.” The Examiner and Chronicle is tilting with the Christian at Work. The latter accused Baptists with being inconsistent in that they invite Pedobaptists into their pulpits, thereby recognizing them, and yet refuse to commune at the Lord’s table with them, thereby refusing to recognize them, ‘The Examiner repels the charge, and argues that while any Christian can preach the Gospel only baptized Christians can administer the ordinances. Hence Baptist ministers never administer the ordinances tor Pedobaptist churches nor do Pedobaptist ministers per- form this service for Baptist churches. And this proves Baptist co: Tur Goop Worx of rescuing childrer from the tender guardianship of profession al acrobats and circus managers was con- tinued at Poughkeepsie yesterday, where three little boys were being put in jeopardy of their lives to amuse an audience. The boys, known as the Leon children, were taken charge of by the Society for the Pro- tection of Children, and Leon, and the pro- prietor of the show, Murray, were held in their own recognizances to await the action Of course the children were not Leon's own, but were ‘farmed ” by him. A Trery Warxtna.--The fire in the im- mediate neighborhood of the Centennial buildings at Philadelphia should teach the anthorities of that city the necessity of pro- hibiting the structure of any wooden shan- ties in that locality and of requiring those that remain to be removed. The insurance companies who take risks on the buildings and contents should move immediately in the matter. If the wind had been in a dif- ferent quarter when the fire broke out, or if it had shifted while the buildings were burning, the loss might have been enormous and irreparable, Merald Trains and Pony Expresses As the cool nights and breezy days com¢ on, premonitary of the end of a terrible summer, there is one ‘flattering unction” that the home-coming wanderer from the seaside and mountain may lay to his soul. He knows what has been going on in his absence as well as do those who have never lost the odor of the city restaurants, for the Herarp has been always with him, and a city man in the country studies that ample chronicle of news from all nations and all sides and corners of the earth with an intel- lectual appetite which he scarcely fecl« when he is not on his summer rambles, With us it has been an arduous and not unsuccessful campaign ; but when the bot- tom fell out of the Post Office enterprise in the way of fast trains wo felt as it was put by the small boy under the apple tree in a thunder storm—that ‘something must be done,” and that we must do it.

In the greater number of these places the Henanp has been delivered before breakfast, and in not one later than dinner time. Our fast trains, pony expresses and diligent couriers have completely de- monstrated that the morning paper is one of the luxuries of city life that the public need no longer leave behind when it goes out of town. Our advertising columns now ex- hibit the revival of metropolitan life that comes with the autumn days. For some weeks past there has been great encourage. ment among city merchants over the sub- stantial indications they have had of the end ofa siege of weary waiting for better times, and the rush of advertisements is one of the best general evidences to be had of the fact that the good times waited for for three years are coming at last. Political Riots. The breaking up of arepyblican meeting in Baltimore by democrats will, of course, furnish an opportunity for a great display of ». indignation on the part of republican organs and will be a fair set-off against the demo~ cratic denunciation of the recent breaking up of a democratic meeting in Charleston by republicans, The outrage, however, was the work of some ten or twelve ruffians, who evidently went to the place of meeting for the purpose of creating a disturbance, The wonder is that a large assemblage did not have the courage to deal with tho rowdies after their own fashion and deprive the opposition of a dozen votes. Taking the Baltimore row and the affair at Kingston, in our own State, into considern- tion, we believe the democrats are a little ahead of their opponents, and the next politi- cal outrage belongs tothe republican side. If both parties would agree to have these muscular disputes out at the commence. ment of the campaign and get through with them—say a dozen on each side—we might then hope for peace and such a calm and intelligent discussion of the issues of the campaign as would enable the people to vote understandingly. Some of the Baltimore ruffians have been arrested and it is said all are to be promptly pun- ished. The city authorities are democratic, and if they act firmly and unrelentingly in the prosecution of the offenders they will prove that the party has no sympathy with such rascally acts. Let us hope that the republican authorities of Charleston will ba equally ready to punish the negro rioters who acted the part of fiends in that city a few days ago. Jensex Justicr is severe, but wholesome, The laws of that State reach even those who attended the recent fatal prize fight as spec- tators, making them accessories to a homi- cide and providing a punishment of twelve years in the State Prison.
