Tue Wearnuen.—A decided depression has presented itself in the Northwest, with brisk and igh winds in the upper Missouri Valley. It is rapidly moving toward the Jake region, but tho weather is clear. Another area of low barome- ter is slowing developing to the southward, off the Florids coast, but there are no indications ns yet that it wil ve more than aslight dis- turbance. With the exception of a few points in the lake region, the valley of the St. Lawrence, Nova Scotia, the Mississippi Valley and the Eastern Gulf coast, the weather throughout the country is clear. A “norther” prevailed yesterday morning on the Texas coast ettendant on an advancing area of high from the Southwest. The te continues comparatively high in all except in Canada and the Northeast, will, if a héavy rainfall attends the ap- disturbance, eause freshets and the of ice in all the rivers. The Upper ‘and Ohio have generally fallen. The ‘New York to-day will be warmer and rest in his hands from the moment of his selection as the fifth mem- ber of the Supreme Court section of the 4 commission ; but such a contingency seemed improbable. It was hardly to be supposed that a tribunal so select in its composition, so largely consisting of members of our most 2:80, a | august judicial tribunal, so restrained by a high sense of responsibility, and solemnly sworn to ‘impartially examine and consider all questions submitted to the commission,” that a body of statesmen and jnrists.so emi- nent for character, and bound by so impres- sive an oath, would act and vote as partisans in ao controversy of such magnitude and dignity. Among the last things expected from this high and responsible tribunal was a decision on a strict party line in every vote. It was confidently be- lieved that the odd member, the fifth judge selected from the Supreme Court, would always be supported by such a number of his fellow judges and of other members of the commission that no decision would de- pend on his solitary vote. It was desirable, as a means of satisfying the public mind, that the decisions reached by the commis- sion should not rest on divisions by a party line. But the first impor- tant vote showed that this was a delusion. It then became evident that the fourteen members first appointed would act throughout as thick-and-thin partisans, seven persistently standing by the claim of Hayes, the other seven by the claim of Til- den, and that the fitteenth member holds in his single hand the power to determine who shall be the next, President, From the mo- ment that it became evident that the ten Senators and Representatives and the first four judges would vote as stanch partisans on every question, standing uniformly seven against seven, from that moment it was apparent that Justice Bradley is invested with an amount of political power to which there has never been a parallel in the his- tory of the United States nor of any other republic, Judge Bradley will turn the scale in every vote of the long series by which the final result is to be reached. Thus far he has voted with the republicans in.every essential and with the democrats in every non-essential question. The fact that he isa republican himself creates a pre- sumption that he will pursue oa similar course throughout. How can he be ex- pected to act with more elevation and importislity than the other Supreme Court judges who are members of the commission? To be sure, pub- lic attention is more strongly di- rected to him as possessing the deciding power, and he has recognized the peculiarity of his position by voting twice with the democrats on minor points; but on all the questions whichare really essen- tinl Judge Bradley has thus far voted with the seven stanch republicans and turned the scale in their favor. That he will pursue this course to the end there is no good reason to doubt. It is stillin his power to make Mr. Tilden President by voting with thedemocrats on the Louisiana case or on the OregofiGase. He can, but will he? The democrats must be in a wonderfully san- guine mood if they expect anything of tho kind. The decison of the commission in the Florida case is precisely what all sound judges anticipated from the moment that a majority voted for the order to exclude evi- dence not contained in the certificates. The exclusion of all facts which lie behind the official attestations was a virtual decision in favor of the Hayes electors, and the only wonder is that the democrats thought their chance in Florida worth any further contest after the commission had ruled out all the evidence on which they had intended to rest their claim. The alleged ineligibility of Humphreys was too thin to found any hopes upon, and the democratic arguments on that subject seemed too much like the desperate clutching of a drowning man at a floating chip or straw. There was not even a plausible pretence that Hum- phreys was ineligible, and Judge Hoadloy's long argument on that subject was a trifling with the patience of the tribunal. That point was not even voted on by the com- mission, the eligibility being too clear for dispute, The democrats, after this decisive defeat in the first battle, have little to hope in the two which are to follow. The Louisiana case has, indeed, some peculiar features which distinguish it from that of Florida; but those features are not the ones on which the democrats have heretofore rested their hopes. Their case, as they had gotten it up, consisted of a great mass of evidence which went behind the action of the Returning Board. Nota particle of that evidence will be received by the commission, and the order which rules it out spikes all the guns of the great democratic battery. Nothing is left forthem but to dispute the legality of the Returning Board and the elegibility of two of the Hayes clectors, There is little chance of their convincing Judge Bradley on either of these points, and nobody doubts that the other seven republicans will steadily vote against them. Had the Lonisiana Re- turning Board counted in the Tilden elec- tors the democratic party would not have contested its legality. The two electors who had held federal offices resigned previous to the 6th of December, the day on which they were appointed by the Electoral College to fill vacancies. With these grounds to stand upon it is certain that the other seven republicans, and probable that Judge Brad- ley also, will vote to give all the electoral votes of Lotisiana to Hayes. Had Judgo Davisinstead of Judge Bradley been selected as the fifth member trom the Supreme Court the result might be different; but Judge Bradley has thus far given the democrats no reason for hoping that he will make Mr, ‘Tilden President. After voting to rule out the evidence which formed the real strength of their case, when his single vote would ere insured its admission, it is highly improbable that he will support them in the weaker aspects of their case. It is still in his power to make Mr. Tilden President, but if he had any intention to do so he would have voted to admit the evidence of fraud, which alone gave Mr. ‘Tilden’s claim a strong foundation, In any event it would have required high moral courage for Judge Bradley to go against his party, and had he been willing todo so he would have per- mitted the introduction of the only evi- dence which could give him 4 strong justification in the moral sense of the country. b Cupid in the Senate. The Senate chambor of the United States would not generally be regarded as a favora- ble hunting ground for the sly sportsman Cupid. Yet it seems that the mis- chievons little god laughs at years and dignity as he laughs at locksmiths, and rejoices at crying “havoc” among our highest law and treaty making powers. Nor does he seek his victims among the Roscoe Conklings and Logans, the Adonises of the body, but gathers them from those on whom Father Time has laid his frosty finger; whose summer lenves of lifelie rustling on the pround ; whose limbs ' have lost the suppleness which lifted tho Montague to the Capulet’s balcony, and the moisture of whose eyes is not attributable to the pleasant tears of budding affection. Before Love's wonderful power we have re- cently seen the sexagenarian Christiancy reverentially bend, and now, if the fair Widow Oliver speaks truthfully, the ripe Simon Cameron closes up his seventies with a tribute to the urchin’s power. Simon does not stand olone in his liability to the soft impeachment. That he has plenty of company the history of all ages and of every clime will attest. The case of David has no doubt suggested to millions of venerable gentlemen, during the world's progress, the advantages of keeping the heart warm and young even in the extreme winter of age, and as our Simon is great on supporting the constitution the example of the Psalmist may have drawn him toward the fnir Oliver. Coming down to a modern date there is the affair of my Lord Palmerston, who, at the re- spectable age of eighty-two, was called to account for trifling with the affections of a young person of the opposite sex. A thou- sand such instances might be cited for Simon’s consolation, if not for his justifica- tion ; for, as Mrs, Cluppins remarked in an- other celebrated breach of promise case, “The old ‘uns are the wust!” And this brings us down to the fact that Simon is accused not only of yielding to Cupid’s magic influence and insinuating himself into the affections of Widow Oliver, but of breaking his promise to that injured Treasury damsel, for which she secks the healing plaster of a fifty thousand dollar verdict. Now, Simon Cameron isa sly old fox. Everybody has heard of Simple Simon, who encountered a vender of pies on his road to the fair, but he could not have been of the Cameron family. Our Simon always has his penny in his pocket and pays for his piés. Then he is familiar with the nature of contracts—no one more so—whether for guns or matrimony, and would scarcely make one that could not be broken if desir- able. It isnot easy to get ahead of the Winne- bago Chief. In the threatened suit he is likely to give the fair plaintiff a Roland for her Oliver. It may be possible that the disap- pointment of a widow in the prime of life who misses a second comforter and guide of the ripe age of seventy-eight may be damaged to the extent of fifty thousand dol- lars, That is for the jury to decide. All the good luck we can wish Mrs. O. is that if she recovers a verdict the case may not be moved into the Supreme Court by the order of some United States Circuit Judge, on the plea that it affects the inter- ests of a United States official. Little Hell Gate. r While we hold, with General Newton, that the filling up of this rocky, shallow, and therefore useless channel will have no injurious effect on the navigation of the ad- jacent waters of the Harlem and East rivers, we have some serious doubts as to the abil- ity of the Police Department to prevent on this new sitea repetition of the horrible Harlem flats nuisance. The profound con- tempt for the rights of the community ex- hibited by tho Street Cleaning Bureau since its organization has been illustrated from time to time in the most offen- sive manner, At the Harlem fints a vast bed of the foulest refuse that could be collected in this city was spread for the action of solar and atmos- pheric influences between two thickly set- tled parts of New York. For this abomi- nable compost, which the Street Cleaning Bureau called ‘‘clean ashes free from gar- bage,” the sum of ten cents per cubic yard was paid by the contractors, who received in return from fifty to eighty cents per yard from the city. If we are to have a repeti- tion of this outrage on common decency and the Inws of health in the carrying out of the new scheme of filling Little Hell Gate, then it is better to allow the tides to flow with free but untainted currents through that channel. But if the commonest precautions are taken by the health and police officials to prevent the mixture of garbage and street filth with tho ashes collected in New York, and used for filling, then a really advantageous work can be accomplished at comparatively little cost, On no account must the Kills be filled up or contracted imany manner. The resolu- tions of the Board of Aldermen, as adopted on Thursday, were evidently prepared in utter ignorance of the requirements of navi- gation in the Harlem and upper East rivers, While they contain the redeeming sug- gestion to fill Little Hell Gate they call for the destruction of the Harlem River by the closing of the Kills, Should such a work be ever carried out it would reduce the navigablo aren of the fine basin between Fort Schuyler and Randall’s Island by a gradual extension of the shoals of the Westchester shore into the channel way and the choking of the lower Harlem River with mud. The func- tion of the Kills’ current in preserving ex- isting navigable channels is highly im- portant and should never be interfered with, NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1877.—WITH SUPPLEMENT. -- Herald Explorations in the Florida : Wilderness. We print to-day an interesting letter and special despatch from our correspondent in charge of the Hznatp explorations in the wilds of Florida, describing his progress and discoveries. A vast area of the penin- sula has been, up tothe present, a terra incognita to civilized man, and the atmost exertions of explorers have hitherto failed to lift the veil. of mystery that has hung over that strange land. Since the days of Ponce de Leon, who sought on the shores of the ‘Land of Flowers” the mystical fountains of perpetual youth, the utmost interest has been mani- fested in determining the physical character of Florida, But few have been tempted to brave the terrors that were found to sur- yound investigation, and explorations were limited to the const line territory, which proved, with the exception of the northern sections, to be the only habitable portion of the State. Now, however, there is a pros- pect that we will become acquainted with the nature of the interior—its vast swamps, mysterious rivers, great forests, and even the ancient monuments left by the long extinct races that peopled it®area. During the Florida war, when the dusky warriors of Osceola fought so stoutly against their white enemies, scattered posts were established by the United States Army for the purpose of maintaining communica- tions betweén the occupied districts, but many of these have long ago lost every vestige of interest except that attaching to their names in connection with sanguinary combats between civilization and barbarism. Following the direction marked by a singu- lar column of smoke which was observed by our correspondent to rise from some un- known source in the interior the Henanp expedition plunged into the wilderness of vegetation that clothes the country, and suc- ceeded, after much exertion and wading through deep water, in reaching an island or elevated ground surrounded by swamps. There were discovered some strange and rudely carved masses of stone, evi- dently erected by o prehistoric race as idols. With a description of these we also find that of the ‘‘sinks,” or singu- lar points of disappearance of the rivers where they enter on subterranean courses to reappear again in other places. The dark haunts of the alligator and venomous snakes, the bear, the panther and the deer are graphically described by our correspondent, who is determined to prosecute his explora- tions until Florida gives up the secrets of her “Everglades,” rivers and forests to the readers of the Hznatp. Charges appear in the Hzratp to-day against two charitable associations, and complaints, more or less distinct, have of late been made against others. If the secular and religious managers of organized charities are wise they will discern in these complaints the real trouble that calls them out and make haste to rectify it before tho poor are relegated to their worst sufferings by the discouragement of the benevolent, In plain English there is a great deal of in- competence visible among the distribu- tors of the larger "charities, and this disgusts the would-be giver almost as deeply as dishonesty can do. We have no doubt that the societies have among their working force hosts of warm-hearted, sym- pathetic souls; but tenderness toward human woe never of itself enabled a man to buy supplies at bottom prices or to devise the best plans for making a little money go a long way. The best business talent should be secured by each of the societies, There can be no doubt that in these cases the best is the cheapest, even if its posses- sors are as heartless as the directors of horse car companies. Why is it that certain men in New York can always obtain promptly whatever money they ask for charitable pur- poses? Simply because no one doubts that the money will be used to the best possible advantage. The societies should remember that in a city so full of tricksters as New York is dishonesty is the first cause sug- gested for whatever transactions seem irreg- ular, and that no amount of explanation will satisfy the man who has seen his money misapplied. Let the societies show beyond adoubt that they do business as well as mean business, and they need never ask in vain formoney, Coroners’ Cases. One of the topics that the Municipal Society has very pertinently taken up is that of the necessity of reorganizing all the operations of the coroners’ office for this county. There is no doubt that this office is a cover for great abuses. The charge that many verdicts are held on mere con- structive necessities simply toadd to the fees, and not because they are needful to the security of the public, is one that lies on the very surface. But the incompetency that commonly prevails in this office to in- vestigate the cases that come before it, or even to comprehend the principles on which they should be investigated, is perhaps the most glaring defect in our whole local ad- ministration. If the Municipal Society can provide a remedy for this evil it will be fairly entitled to public gratitude. Perhaps the most promising step in tho matter is to endeavor to change the manner in which the office! is filled, So long as it is elective it will remain ns it is now—one of the makeweights in local political bargains—and will be filled with regard to party expediencies, and not with regard to the requirements and duties of tho office. lt is one of the offices that should be altogether taken out of the hands of county conventions and Tammany caucuses and be filled by ap- pointment at the hands of some responsible ‘authority. With that done we might have Coroners at least as capable, efficient and honest as they are in most other cities. Another Coal Coalition, Evidently, tho plotters are uneasy over the fact that the people have had cheap coal this winter. From their point of view this is an outrageous robbery. Schemers of every stripe, organizers of corners, manipulators of railway and mining shares and gentry of that sort generally are of opinion that wher- evor a ton of coal has reached the consumer ot, say five dollars a ton, there these persons have been robbed of two dollars.. If thirsty million tons of coal are burned at five dollars # ton where they were previously burned at seven dollars, a ton here are sixty million dollars absolutely filehed, abstracted, bull- dozed out of the pockets of the speculator. This is a great deal of money. Shall the spéculator look on calmly and stand this? Shall he possess his soul in patience with all this money carried by his door, as it were, and none thrown in? Is this possible? Sixty million dollars is o fund sufficient to inspire grand schemes on the part of coal projectors, and, in view of the cupidity, ingenuity and enterprise that will be enlisted in the endeavor to baga considerable portion of this sum, it will be strange if the people should have another winter of cheap coal for a great while. There is only one hope for the people in this respect, which is involved in the lesson that great transportation companies and their managers may draw from the conse- quences of former coal combinations. In former times the fund to which we refer did not greatly enrich the real owners of these lines, but it debauched the management, and perhaps the calamity of New Jersey Central may induce them to keep out of great coal schemes. The English Liberals. It has been the common arraignment of the liberals in England by their opponents that their helpless Quaker policy tended to nullify and reduce the influence of England in Europe; but this charge can scarcely be repeated in view of the assault now made by the liberals upon the inane and penceful policy of the tories in the recent crisis of the negotiations‘in Turkey. From the re- ports given of the speeches of Lord Harting- ton in the @ommons and Earl Granville in the Lords it appears that the liberals sus- tain so robust and resolute a course of action as would have made England the ally in arms of Russia against Tur- key rathor than have permitted the latter to scorn contemptuously the advice of England formally given in the Conference. No one in England, apparently, has fancied the liberals would go so far as this, and the evi- dence that they are prepared to take this extreme ground may naturally startle their opponents ; for while this seems to sepa- rate them by an impassable distance from the discontented tories, and thus to render a coalition against the Ministry impossible, it indicates a faith that there is an épinion in the country on this important subject so extremely opposed to the position of the Ministry that they may well apprehend its influence. There is, evidently, to be an ex- citing conflict on this issue. _ PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Thurman is ad. Liszt is sixt; President Bradley. Morton feels better. Ben Hill half likes Hayes.

THE PARLIAMENTARY CRISIS, The Eastern Policy of the Liberal Party Foreshadowed. INTERESTING CONTINGENCY, England Must Make .an Alliance with Russia Against Turkey if the Other Powers Fail He. AN THE PORTE SNUBS IGNATIEFF. (s¥ CABLE TO THE HERADD.Y Lonpox, Feb. 10, 1877, A cateful reading of the speeches mado at the opens ing of Parliament on Thursday by Earl Granville m the House of Lords and tho Marquis of Hartington in the House of Commons shows that the liboral party intended to uphold the view that England should co» operate with the other Powers for the coercion of Turkey, and even co-operate with ber arch-enomy, Rassia, only, should the other Powers ducline to act, Farl Granvillo’s language becomes more ominous the longer it is studied, y A LIBERAL VIEW, “If the government influence wero used,” said he “in persuading Europe in one body to come forward and insist—as they havo a moral and just right to do— that Turkey shall periorm the promises she has so long delayod, the result could not be doubtful. It may be said you are not able to persuade the European Powers, but { am not sure that the impressian does not preval that England is the only obstacle. At all events you would not be much worse off after making the attempt, Will anyboay tell me that if onco the Turks got it into their heads, if they really believed that not only England, but tho whole of Europe, is absolutely and seriously in earnest in this matter; that Turkey, which up to this moment has been influenced by one Power, could resist the unitod Powers of Europe? I believe it would be utterly un- necessary to resort tocoercion. I believo ifthe gov- ernment will follow that course thoy will meet with great success, and they will receivo tho congratula- tions and approval of all parties and all classes of this country.’’ MORE LIBERAL STILL. The Marquis ot Hartington said:—‘There aro some among us—I trust that the government do not belong to the number—who look with calmness, If not satis. faction, at the prospect of having Turkey and Russia fave to face, and the prospect of war between thom. I ask whether the danger of that position as regards English intercsts has diminished? Whether it has not rather increased since the time when Canning, rather than encounter the perils of such a situation—rathor than allow Russia to tako upon herself singly the task of enforcing the proposals which had been agreed upon between Eng- land and Russia as to the affairs of Groeco, was willing even to go the length Proposing to co operate with Russia for the purpose of obtaining the end in view. 1 am unwilling to believe that the reso of diplomacy are exhausted by the failure of tho Conforence, Of this at all events I am sure, that the government will take a heavy responsibility upon themselves if they do not strive to do everything in their powor to preserve con- corted action among tho Powers for the accomplish- ment of those beneficent ends for which the Confer- ence Jabored, but unfortunately labored vainly, to attain.” HOW THE GOVERNMENT PARTY READ IT. “Sir Stafford Northcote’s speech in the House of Commons last evening,” says the Pall Mall Gaselte’s leading article yesterday, ‘‘can only signify that ho cannot admit that the great Powors have done with the proposals of the Conforenco because they have been rejected by the Porte, nor allow that the now Turk- ish constitution is to be taken as an answer to the wish and appeal of the Powers,” The Pall Mall Gazette thinks that the government in the Leras and Commons have spoken with different voices, It adds:—‘:Porhaps Midhat Pacha’s fall and Edhem Pacha’s accession may bave suggested to cortain members of the administra- tion that Lord Salisbury’s threatening language at tho close of the Conference may be repeated with advan. tage now.” ‘THE PORTE RETORTS. The toxt of the Porte’s circular on the failure of the Conference, dated January 25, reached London from Constantinople Jast night. After recapitulating the arguments justifying tho rejection of the proposats of the Powors it comments in a very contemptuous tone on the assertion made by General Ignatieff at the Onay sitting of the Conference, that tho Porte by its action had virtuaily abrogated the Treaty of Paris. The Porte declares nothing would have beon easier for the Turkish delegates, if they had considored such course expedient, than to show that General Ignatieff's asser- tion was defective both in form and substance, The delegates however romainod silent, as General Igna. tieff’s remarks were irrelevant to the object of tho Con- ference.
