Gold was higher, the price rising from the opening figure of 1051, to 105g, ‘with a subsequent decline of 1g. Government, Failroad and State bonds were higher and firm. Money on call was very easy, at rates fluctuating from 212 to4 per cent, the former being the losing quotation. Tweep’s KELEASE upon a compromise seems to be improbable, and his only chance of obtain- Ing his freedom is by a complete surrender.

Tue Supreme Court Decision that the Cen- ‘tennial Board of Finance must refund to the United States Treasury the million and a half dollars loaned to the Exhibition has had the effect to decrease the dividends so much that | stock bought for ten dollars is likely to pay but three. Oxe Bott is a name that has been familiar to the musical world for many years, and the ac- count we print to-day of his career, as related in his own words, will be read with great interest. It is an example of what genius may accomplish «when it is attended by energy and persever- ance. DUTT AT a aN OROME Scene) Tne Lovistaxa Commission has thus far not fulfilled the hopes of the country. Instead of restoring peace it scems to have added to the ‘political excitement in that State, ard our New ‘Orleans despatches are not encouraging. The problem is difficult indeed to solve but if the commission is really the failure it is said to be then the sooner it is recalled the better. Tne Excise Law.—The recent decision that ® license to sell liquors permits none but hotel and inn keepers to sell them to be drunk on the premises has alarmed the retail dealers of the sity, and yesterday a new ise bill was in- trodnced into the Legislature which is meant to affirm the previous construction of the law. There are prospects of another temperance war in Albany. The Amerriqur is once more afloat and has been towed safely to her dock in Brooklyn. This is a satisfactory conclusion of a protracted effort at getting her off the Scabright beach. It reflects credit on the salvage crews who rescued. the ship; but no merit attaches to those respon- sible for running her ashore, although they also ‘helped to save her. faithfully and sail over many seas before the stain of that piece of negligence and stupidity ean be washed from their reputations as seamen. Ispict Tnem ny Att Mrans.—We believe ‘that, sooner or later, and the sooner the better, the Grand Jury will be called on to deal with our wasteful, worthless and dishonest officials. No other course svems to be open to the people of New York in stopping the system of public plun- der that is steadily draining the city of her re- sources, without a particle of benefit resulting from these misappropriations of the revenue. ‘When a citizen takes an official oath to discharge an important public trust for a salary con- sideration and receives from the public treas- ury large sums of mon 0 disbu for special purposes, he assumes a respons as well as officially. ity personally If he fuils to perform his allotted duty and at the same time squanders the | public moneys intrusted to him he becomes ‘menable to the law. Tur Wratner.—The storm centre has now fairly loft the Carolina coast, and the press' fising at all points east of the Mississippi River. Yesterday rain prevailed very generally from the South Atlantic States northwestward to the er Missouri Valley, the heaviest fall being at Norfolk, Va. The winds on the Middle and South Atlantic coasts are moderating, but con- tinue brisk northward of Boston, and have been high on the Texas coast. The temperature is high through6ut tho States, even in the lake district where the pressure is highest. Clear or fair weather prevails over the lakes and Middle States, but rains have fallen in Nova Scotia, where the weather is yet unsettled. Another depression is approaching from the Pacific coust, where the barometer has comparatively low, with brisk westerly winds. A storm will prevail on the Bri French and Spanish coasts on next Saturday and Sunday, with heavy gales and rains, The Lower Missis- aippi and Cumberland hive risen, All the other ‘rivers aro falling. The weather in New York ae be slightly warmer and partly cloudy « They must work long and | | of men of science and it would have cost 0 is | The Government Surveys. Among the minor but by no means un- important reforms in the work done by the government we hope to sce the next Con- gress consolidate and put into some sys- tematic order the varions government sur- veys and explorations in the Western Terri- tories, There are now three principal surveying parties, which take the field every summer and spend the winter in Washington, em- ployed in the double task of working out their field notes and lobbying in Congress for next year's appropriations. As the gen- tlemen employed in these scientific labors are, or at least ought to be, scientific men, it is certainly not fuir that they should have to give any part of their time to the painful work of buttonholing Congressmen for the means to continue their explorations. It is an indignity that science should have to stand about in the lobby. The three prin- cipal surveys are thoso of Licutenant Wheeler, called the ‘Geographical Survey of Territories West of the One Hundredth Meridian ;” Dr. Hayden's ‘Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories,” and Major Powell's ‘Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Moun- tain Region.” King's important “Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel” has been completed, we understand, and Mr. King is now secing through the press the last volume and charts. ‘There are besides these a Black Hills surveying party and, we believe, some others. The three first named are the principal surveys now going on, Hayden and Pow- ell are under the control of the Interior De- partment. Wheeler is sent out by the War Department. The last Congress gave $75,000 to the Hayden survey, $50,000 to the Powell survey, and $50,000, with transportation by the War Department, to Wheeler. We take it for granted that all three of these parties are headed by able men and do useful and important work. But we notice that a not unnatural rivalry between the three, each working independently of the others, leads to the multiplication of needlessly costly books, which are no doubt pleasing and seductive gifts to Congressmen when the appropriation bills are coming up for scrutiny, but which are certainly the cause of trouble and waste of time to men of science here and in Europe, to whom the results of these surveys are for the present of the greatest interest and importance. Why, for instance, should ench of these ex- peditions publish an independent account of the natural history of its region, includ- ing descriptions of all the animals found, when, as is easily seen if one compares the different issues, they cover the same animals, with very few exceptions? It would surely be betterto have one systematic account, easy of reference, and then note the exceptional animals, if any. No one can examine and compare the numerous and sometimes very costly publications made by these surveys without seeing that a great deal of public money is wasted on mere book-making work of a kind which can make only con- fusion and vexation for scientific men, and worse fora layman who seeks information. We venture to say that the numerous and bulky volumes, enough to form a library, which have been put forth by these different expeditions, if properly edited and con- densed, as they would be if the expeditions were all controlled by one head, could be compressed into a tenth of the space they now occupy and be a hundred times more useful, besides costing very much less to the country. Nor is this all. The work of these expe- ditions is conducted in so unsystematic a manner that, as the charts and other records show, one survey often in its work overlaps the other, and thus duplicates expense by needless resurveys; and not only this, but causes another waste in the duplication of printed volumes of often very costly charts. For instance, we notice that Wheeler's Survey, volume 3, publication of 1875, contains a map pf the Twin Lakes which seems to us substantially the same as the map of the Twin Lakes at page 53 of Hayden's Report for 1873. We do not mean that Lieutenant Wheeler has téken a copy of Dr. Hayden’s map, but that the two parties have evidently covered the same ground by their surveys. Aguin, the trian- gulation charts of Wheeler, 1875, and Hay- den, 1873, to a considerable extent cover the same ground, and here must have been ® serious waste of human effort, not to speak of money. We should think not tess than fifty thousand dollars must have been flung away here. Again, King’s and Powell's reports show duplications to the amount, we judge, of at least eight thousand square miles of country which King appears to have surveyed in 1875 and Powell in 1876. Mr. King’s work has been going on for ten years and has produced results of undoubted scientific and public importance, and surely there was no necd of Major Powell going over a part of King’s ground. The work of the United States Coast Sur- vey has always been under a single head, and it is the admiration of scientific men all over Europe. If, however, there had been three or four or half a dozen coast surveying expeditions, each taking a part of our shores and working independently of the rest, our charts would be muddled, the work of the | Coast Survey would have been the contempt | probably ten times as much as it has. Why | should not the same system be applied to terrestrial explorations and surveys as to marine? It can very easily be done. The | whole of the surveys of the Western Terri- | tories ought to be put under a single compe- tent head, who should lay ont the work sys- tematically, and who conld then carry it on with economy and efficiency. At present much more money is wasted in printing than in the field work. The annual appro- priations, the amounts of which we gave above, cover only the outdoor work ; the printing is extra, aud we believe if a com- mittee of Congress would collect all that has been printed at the public expense in the last ten years by the three princ peditions we have named, and carefully look up the duplications in charts and re- | ports, it would almoxt be tempted to aboli | the whole surveying business in pure di gust, We wonder that some of our seion- | tifieé men have not called tho attention of | | virnlent Spitz. | Congress to thiv matter before now; and as under President Hayes we are promised various reforms we suggest here an evil which needs attention. Officials Speculating in Murder. Lee’s confession continues to create a feel- ing of intense uneasiness among those whom there is good reason to suspect were his con- federates in crime. But, singularly enough, it is not to the Mormon leaders exclusively that we now look for attempts at concealing the facts, but to those who should be most active in making them public in the inter- ests of justice. ‘There is a strong suspicion that the confession of Lee, as officially com- municated by the United States District At- torney, is a garbled statement made up for either one of two purposes—-namely, a book- making speculation or the protection of rich and influential Mormons. We do not see how any other view can be taken of this mat- ter, considering the evidence before us. If the officials involved feel aggrieved by this suspicion they have only them- selves to thank for the position in which they are now placed. While Lee was in their hands at Beaver City they took extra- ordinary precautions against any outsiders reaching the prisoner and learning any- thing from him. They refused the HenaLp representative access to Lee until a short time before his death and when it was too late to obtain a detailed verbal state- ment from the condemned man. From the beginning of the last trial, and when it be- came almost certain that Lee would be con- victed, there was plainly to be perceived a desire on the part of the Mormon lead- ers to isolate and destroy him before he could give any statement damaging to their Church. They had used Lee and were ready to cast him into his grave as a sacrifice to an outraged public opinion, but chiefly to si- lence him forever. In this they were success- ful, thanks to the co-operation of the legal officials who saw in the situation an oppor- tunity well worth improving. The develop- ments of later evidence promise, however, to make everything clear and to brand the guilty with the full marks of their crime and bring them to speedy justice. It is plain that the officials ‘‘dickered” with Lee for his confession as the price of his life in order to use the first as a means of speculating on the fears of his confederates, According to the statement, under oath, of Gilman, one of Lee’s keepers, which we print to-day, tho representatives of justice held out delusive hopes of pardon to the prisoner; and these were extinguished only by the death volley of the executioners. ‘The prospective profit was temptation enough for the officials to screen the leading Mormons by suppressing every damnatory statement of Lee regarding them. We have pursued the investigation of this shameful affair so closely that, as a correspondent writes us, the officials are be- ginning to “squirm,” and we certainly will not abandonit until every factis known. In another column to-day will also be found some very interesting details of the game of “hide and seek” sought to be played in screening Brigham Young, as well as a strong indictment of the officials who should, but, we fear, do not, represent the majesty of the law. The Trouble in Europe. Russia, it is reported, demands that Turkey shall decide by the 13th—in two days—what course she intends to take with regard to the suggestions of the protocol. These suggestions were that Turkey should reduce her armies and reform her govern- ment, Turkey, it was to be assumed, would take the suggestions in high dudgeon and rant somewhat about her independence, a possession she did not greatly plume her- self upon in the days when she needed the support of Western armies to prevent her annihilation. She has proved as intractable in the present case as it was thought she would; but Russia wishes to know immediately whether Tur- key proposes to act or to treat the proto- coland declaration with contempt. This reported demand of Russia is somewhat in the nature of an ultimatum; for it can scarcely be donbtful that if Turkey gives an unfavorable answer Russia’s inquiry con- templates immediate action as the next necessity. If Turkey takes the protocol in good part and acts on the declaration the result is to be the disarmament of Russia, and there an end for the present. But if Turkey takes the other course, then Russia does not disarm, and she cannot pro- pose to keep her armies on foot and idle indefinitely. She will use them for the purpose for which they were equipped, and will use them forthwith. It is already reported that Turkey has rejected the pro- tocol and the demands of the Montenegrins, but will send an envoy to St. Petersburg. But the sending that envoy is, by the pro- tocol and declaration, only to follow action on the other demands, and if sent without such action he would probably not be re- ceived. It appears to be generally agreed that the declaration by Count Schouvaloff is now the one great obstacle to peace, which is a quaint commentary on the skill, foresight and happy inspirations of British diplomacy. Cats and Dogs. For children in the streets alone to be bit- ten by Spitz dogs is one of the common cas- ualties of the time. Scarcely a day passes without the report of such an occurrence ; and one recently reported in Brooklyn might almost be accepted as an evidence that this species of dog, reputed to be related to the Arctic fox, is in reality related to the Arctic wolf. Hydrophobia results from these bites in an extremely large proportion of tho cases. It is noted that in several recent cases of hydrophobia the rabid animals by which men or women were bitten were not of the Spitz species, and some comfort seems to be gathered from this fact by the people who admire the Spitz. But the pre- sumption is that the Spitz dog does not confine his attentions entirely to the human family. He sometimes bites other dogs as well as children, and those dogs in due time become mad also; so that hydrophobia cansed by the bite of another doy is, perhaps, in the large num- ber of cases, only one remove from some Recently a person bitten by a cat died, as chronicled, from “fright.” These cases of “fright,” as a consequence of bites, will perhaps bo found always to occur in the practice of physicians who deem themselves a little wiser than any one efse and snperior to the common “preju- dices” about hydrophobia. It is strange, considering the number of cats in sny city, how few cases of hydrophobia result from their bites. The fact is probably due to their great activity in keeping out of the way of stray curs and mad dogs on their “march,” South Carolina Free—Ex-Governor Chamberiain’s Address. At noon yesterday, in pursuance of the order of President Hayes, the federal troops were withdrawn from the State House at Columbia. There was no visible excitement or commotion; nothing occurred to disturb the public tranquillity or create apprehen- sion; and we are confident that that mis- governed, faction-tossed State, the scene of so much agitation and violence for the last eight years, will henceforward be one of the most orderly and best administered of our American Commonwealths, as it always was previous to the war. Under the régime which has now closed South Carolina has suffered more than any of her sister States. Her Legislature has been the most ignorant and corrupt, her county officers the most incom- petent, her minor judges the most scan- dalous, her taxes the most exorbitant, her expenditures the most extravagant and wasteful, the increase of her debt the most stupendous in proportion to her resources, and the depreciation in the value of prop- erty the most alarming of any even of the carpet-bag States, The people have been compelled to pay six or eight times as much annually for bad government and for in- tolerable oppression and swindling as they paid for good government previous to the war. The restoration of local self-control foretokens strict economy, low taxes, business confidence and an immedi- ate and decided enhancement of the value of property. The withdrawal of the federal troops is an auspicious event for which the whole country should thank President Hayes and congratulate Governor Hampton and his fellow citizens. Ex-Governor Chamberlain acts wisely in making no further resistanee. We are sorry that his address announcing this intention is not in better temper ; but some allowance must be made for his disappointment and chagrin, A suitor in court who loses his case must be pardoned’ if he ‘goes to the tavern and swears,” since it is his only re- source for relieving his excited feelings. In the course of a month Governor Chamber- lain, who is really a man of sense and ability, will probably recover his equanimity. He willthen perceive how wildly illogical are the denunciatory parts of his impetuous ad- dress, The facts he states, allowing them to be facts, demonstrate how utterly un- worthy his supplanted State government ever was of respect or support. By his own confession it disgracefully failed, even with federal troops to reinforce it, to discharge the first and chief duty of a government— the preservation of order and protection of citizens against violence. Here is what he says to his supporters in taking leave of them:—‘‘From authentic evidence it is shown that no less than one hundred of your number were murdered because they were faithftl to their principles and exer- cised rights solemnly guaranteed to them by the nation. You were denied employ- ment, driven from your homes, robbed of the earnings of years of honest industry, hunted for your lives like wild beasts, and your families outraged and scattered, for no offence except your peaceful and firm de- termination to exercise your political rights.” Be it observed, this is Governor Chamber- lain’s own description of what took place under his government, It was a govern- ment that did not govern ; even with federal troops to back it it was powerless to pre- serve order, powerless to repress violence, protect life or punish crime ; and a govern- ment of which this is 9 true picture, painted by a friondly hand, passes an irreversible sentence of condemnation upon itself. And when it is added that this condition of anarchy and violence, this government which did not govern, ate up the substance of the people by exorbitant, ruinous taxes, and was a hotbed of reeking corruption, Mr, Chamberlain’s protest seems absurd to the degree of being an insult to the common sense and moral feeling of the country. There is every reason to expect that this hideous picture will be reversed under the wise, just, enlightened administration of Governor Hampton, Miss Dickinson ond Her Critics. The strange spectacle of an actress criti- cising her critics was presented at the Eagle Theatre on Monday night, when Miss Anna Dickinson replied to the censors of the New York press. While she complained of their cruelty she was herself more merci- less than the worst of them, and we con- sider that in fiery and eloquent denuncia- tion the lady has the advantage. She com- plains that she has been unjustly treated, and to prove it she attempts the task of stepping outside of herself and judging the critics and Anna Dickinson as an un- projudiced observer. This is impossible. ‘The command of the Grecian philosopher, “Know thyself,” has never been obeyed, and to appreciate the truth of un- pleasing criticism is as difficult, It is noteworthy that artists mover com- plain of praise when it is unjustly bestowed, but invariably resent censure. Miss Dickinson supplied an example when she quoted, with evident delight, Mr. Henry Watterson’s opinion that ‘A Crown of Thorns” was the greatest historical play of the century, which is quite as unjust as the opinion that it is the smallest. It is, therefore, natural that in her capacity as supreme judge she should decide that the critics are all wrong, that the play and the player are all right, and should repeat her verdict on the first night she appeared in Boston—“This is snecess.” To make the public agree with this verdict is another matter. People do not pay at the theatres for the purpose of magnanimously overlooking defects because of other merits, and Miss Dickinson’s illustrious career as a lecturess does not atone for her doficiencies as an actress, When a lady assumes a high artistic position in any art she must expect to be coldly and critically Il, 1877.-TRIPLE SHEET. considered, and the true critic must be as calm as the anatomist who uses his dissect- ing knife. It is not only what the artist is, but what he claims he is, that must be con- sidered. Probably Miss Dickinson expects by this appeal to the public to increase her audiences, and we do not object to this kind of criticism occasionally, but we sug- gest that it would be quite as well to hire a few discharged critics who are capable of writing letters on both sides of the subject. Still a better way would be to act, not argue, and let the work speak for itself. But as this course is not likely to be adopted we suggest in all kindness to Miss Dickinson, and without prejudice against the critics of the ‘‘Hub,” that she shall produce her next new masterpiece in New York, and by pur- chasing the leading journals crush the con- spiracy of critics, and thus obtain all the praise she desires, but which, under the present system, it is unlikely she will get. Her appeal for sympathy on the ground that she is o small, weak, sick, miserable, crushed and heartbroken woman, will not be unheeded, and we hope that the public will take her advice not to trust to news- paper estimates, but to go to the theatre and judge for itself. a Judge Davis rendered a decision yester- day which seems to beso sound and just, and covers a matter so frequently in litiga- tion, that itis surprising it has not been reached before. In contested will cases it has been the practice of the Surrogate to make an award out of the funds of the estate to the counsel of the contestants where they have been unsuccessful in their oppo- sition to the probate. Judge Davis decides that the Surrogate has no power or right to make any such award ; that when a contest- ant fails to break a will the result shows that the property belongs to others, and not to him, and no person has a right to take one man’s money out of his pocket to pay another man’s legal expenses. This is the substance of the decision, and it appears to be a wise judgment. The practice of paying the legal expenses of contestants out of an estate is calculated to lead to illegitimate litigation and even to conspiracies to con- test wills, especially where large estates are involved. Judge Davis’ decision is likely to do a great deal of good. The Question Solved at Last. Having awaited with becoming modesty the action of the Boards of Health and Police regarding the filth in the streets, and having waited so long that patience has ceased to be a virtue, we would ourselves suggest a plan by which this most impor- tant problem may at once be solved. Let a number of hurdles be prepared by which any street can be closed at any portion of its length; let a certain number of streets be daily fenced off in short sections, and then let the city advertise itself as a great hog- fattening corporation. The modest and ac- commodating nature of the porcine palate is well known. All is grist that comes to the pig’s digestive mill, while the adequacy of the swine’s snout to any amount of investigation of the soil is uni- versally admitted. Put pigs into these street pens, and all garbage would speedily be transformed into prime pork, while tho residue would be a fertilizer of established commercial value. At first thought it would seem that people might object to having manure factories in front of their doors, but this isa mistake; they would, at least, know the name and nature of what is before them, and that would be a degree of knowl- edge about the contents of our streets after which the wisest of observers have groped with only indifferent success. It may be urged in objection that such ao system would prevent many streets from being thoroughfares; but the truth is that many of them are already in this condition and Garbage without any friendly fence to warn the traveller against risking his life in them either. It may also be urged that the porkcrs’ vocal notes would prove unwelcome to refined ears; but it should be remembered that many New Yorkers aro pious, and would prefer any sound to that of the swearing of the truck driver or milk- man whose way is blocked by the hills and valleys of our city streets. Should the sup- ply of offal run short we might send the in- active scows of the Strect Cleaning Bureau after the garbage of Boston and Philadel- phia, though the paltry filth of another city or two could not make any considerable ad- dition to our home supply. As for our citi- zens, they would never object to our streets becoming the dumping ground of the nation; they have been trained to enduro any quantity of garbage, It seems, how- ever, that our present accumulation is sufli- cient to feed all the hogs of all the world for at least a century to come.

It does not reject the protocol absolutely, but only those points which admit of foreign interference in Turkey's internal affairs, It repels the declaration appended to the protocol by Count Schouvaloff, and says the Porto will only consent to send a delegato to St Petersburg and disarm if Russia is disposed to disarm at the same time.
