Watt Srrert Yesrerpay.—The stock mar- ket was feverish and active. In the morn- ing there was a decline in all the principal active stocks, from which there was a partial recovery before the close. Government bonds were lower, while railroads were dull and irregu- lar. Gold opened at 106% and declined to 1065g, the closing figure. Money on call was easy at 2 per cent. THERE 1s RaTHER an unusual crop of stab- bings and cuttings in our local reports to-day. Tue Scenes at the trial of the Rev. C. P. McCarthy yesterday were not such as to cheer the universal Christian. Monricence.—Mrs. Ottendorfer yesterday gave to the Home for Aged German Women the eutire premises occupied by that institution at Astoria. ‘THe Manner in which the officers of the steamer Gulf Stream controlled the fire on board that ship and prevented a panic is deserving of high praise. Wreckep—The Pacific mail steamer City of San Francisco; Mexican coast; bright day; un- known rock ; totul loss ; passengers and crew at Acapulco. Art.—There is plenty of money to be spent for good pictures.’ Over a million dollars have been spent that way in six months—as shown in another column. “Qs THE Beach at Rockawar.”—The mu- sically disposed who care to indulge in the de lighte outlined in Morris’ song for the last generation will have an opportunity to give prac- tical effect to their aspirations in » bran new steamer built for that excursion aud to be launched to-day at Greenpoint. Rarm Transit.—The Third avenue line want to run dummy engines, as made and provided in the little bill put through by the street railroad machinery. This would be an immediate im- provement on present means of transit; but it would undoubtedly prove an obstruction to the organization of efficient rapid transit. Tue Custom Hovusre.—That the force em- ployed should be reduced; that the establish- ment should cease to be a mere stowing place for party politicians ; that its business should be conducted as any man of sense would conduct it if it were a private enterprise—these are the recommendations of the committee that investi- gated our Custom House. Sueruerp’s MiLuions.—This Shepherd is not the one known as the Boss, but if the reader of the story does not regard him us the Boss of all the Shepherds of whom he has heard, then the reader wants taste. This is a queer family ro- mance, for twelve million dollars to be await- ing in the Bank of England the people who may prove their descent from an English confectioner of 1810.

Once more the courts are called upon to deter- mine whether two persons have the right to con- struct a drama on the sume threadbare theme; which theme, by the way, has always been the subject of all the dram: A One-Honrse Cak Case Tatas, in the Special Sessions yesterday evidences that justi thizes with the horse. Mr. Bergh’s off a car of the Bleecker Street Railroad with thirty passengers in it, drawn by one he and the horse very much exhansted. These were the facts, and a fine of $50 was the result, de- apite the defence that the load was not too great. That defence would almost Lave justified doubling the fine. Tas Weatuer.— Yesterday the weather throughout the country was fair, with a ad increase of temperature. Indecd, the indications of another warm spell are very decided, and we may expect it to commence to-day. In the North- west the barometer is very low, and high south. erly winds prevail in Minnesota and the Upper Mississippi and the Missouri valleys. Light rains fell on the South Atlantic const | and at St. Paul, Minn. The pressure over Southern Florida is Jow and indicates the move- ment of a disturbance in the West Indian seas. In the Northeast another depression is descending southeastward over Nova Scotia and will probably develop into a decided storm arca when it overlies the Gulf Stream. The area of temperature above 70 degrees now em- braces the whole country from the lakes to the Gulf as well as far into Manitoba, where a re- markably high temperature prevails. Local disturbances may be expected in the central dis- tricts and the West during the next few days. The splendid anroral display last night, accom- panied by a high electrical tension in the atmos- phere, is a marked indication of » weather change.

See aEmnEnnntereteesansmsmnmnmnsnsmenensesmnsenenmnennnnnessn iii i iS ‘General Grant’s RB land. Every American will feel pleasure and pride in the honors paid to General Grant in England, the beginning of which is recounted in our despatches elsewhere. His arrival appears to have excited extraordinary popu- lar interest, and his welcome at Queens- town and at Liverpool must have surprised and touched him, The English journals, our correspondents report, unite in regard- ing his visit as an event of international importance and in exalting the qualities of the ex-President as a great soldier and statesman, Off Queenstown the Indiana, the steamer in which the ex-President sailed, was met by a delegation who requested him to land and offered him the hospitalities of the port. As the vessel drew near General Grant was seen, our correspondent says, leaning against the taffrail quietly smoking his cigar. He promised to go later to Ire- land, which drew out three rousing cheers, as well it might, for the Lrish are fond of military heroes, and Grant commanded and tea many of Ireland’s sons to battle for the Union. An immense crowd appears to have gath- ered on the docks at Liverpool to welcome the ex-President, and he landed amid cheers such as must have reminded him of the days directly after the war, when he was received by New York and other Ameri- can cities. The Mayor of Liverpool read him an address of welcome, saluting him as an illustrious states- man and soldier, and when the ex-President ; modestly and in a few brief words ac- knowledged the honor done him, and ex- pressed the very great pleasure he had from his reception, new cheers burst forth and a great crowd followed his carriage to the hoiel. The judgment of strangers resembles somewhat the judgment of posterity. As he is now regarded in European countries so, doubtless, he will stand in history, when the bitterness and the littleness of partisan strife have passed away and his real services to his country and his real charac- ter are better understood. But in spite of partisan bitterness and personal opposition, such as a man of his positive character, placed in the most difficult position in the world and kept there during eight long years, could not fail to arouse, nothing is more certain than that General Grant has to-day a larger share of the gratitude and the affection of the Ameri- can people than any other of our public men. No matter how widely men may have differed from him, no matter how they may have opposed him, if they are really Americans, and if they are manly and putri- otic men, in their hearts they wish well to the man who led our armies to victory; whose firm will saved the Union, and who—no matter what they may think his errors during his Presidency—entered political life against his will, ond at the de- mand of the people gave up the great and permanent position the nation had given him, to serve it in a new and to him untried and unwelconie field; and who, during six- teen long and weary years, stood at his post of duty unrelieved and withont rest. J It is a fact not generally remembered that Grant's great lieutenants in the war—Sher- man, Sheridan and Farragut—all enjoyed the ‘vacation in Europe” which they had so well earned. To General Grant, their honored chief, alone was rest denied. The country required of him, and him alone, that he should derange all his plans in life, that he should put off the period of rest which he coveted and which he had earned, that he should even surrender the place at the head of the armies to which he was appointed amid the plaudits of the people, in order continuously to serve them. Few men of such arduous and conspicuous services have had so long and difficult a tour of duty imposed upon them. Republics are said to be ungrateful, but our own is not so | entirely cold and devoid of gratitude that men do not feel a keen sense of gratification | when they see their faithful and tired ser- vant taking his ease at last, and receiving in foreign lands the honors and the respect to which his remarkable career so eminently entitle him. To the statesmen and soldiers whom he will meet, even more than to the general mass, he will be,an object of great curiosity. Except Field Marshal Von Moltke no gen- eral of our days has commanded and wielded such masses of men; no general whom he will meet can boast of a more brilliantly conceived or a more daringly executed cam- paign than that of Vicksburg ; no one of them has had the control of so vast a field of war as he, and surely none has seen hotter fire than Grant withstood in the desperate days of the Wilderness, Spott- sylvaniaand Cold Harbor, In every coun- try in Europe which he may visit he will find distinguished military chiefs who have studied his campaigns, who know how to appreciate the dogged courage of Shiloh, the brilliant audacity of Vicksburg, the genius which recovered an imperilled po- | sition before Chuttanooga, the indomitable perseverance of the Virginia campaigns, and the broad and comprehensive view which enabled him to plan the operations of armies stretched across half continent. ‘ | Nor will distinguished civilians be less eager to hear his voice and to scrutinize his features, for they will remember that he acted a foremost part in many of the most notable events of the century ; they will see in him the supporter and right hand of | Lincoln in the emancipation of the slaves, the restorer of peace, the General who re- turned a million of soldiers to peaceful in- dustries, the ruler of the American Republic during eight years of extraordinary political turbulence. We imagine his visit to England will be, on the whole, the pleasantest part ot Gen- eral Grant's European journey. He has some personal traits which are more Eng- lish than they are even American—bhis ce. taciturnity, his dislike of public speak- ing. his reserve, and also his fond- ness for horses, Moreover, one of his children is married in England, and to him, who has always been a peculiarly domestic man, fond of his family, this will doubtless make his visit to England especially him as practised and as ready a diner out as their hearts can desire; and if they know how to fall in with his humor they will find the great soldier a far more com- municative man, a freer talker, than fame has reputed him to be. There are in reality not many better talkers than he on the subjects he likes. We doubt not, too, that he will be shown the English troops, as certainly in France and Germany, more distinctively military countries, he wi!l be treated to reviews, and he will be pleased to see them. Ho is above all, in his heart, a soldier. he is at his best among soldiers—and he will examine the great European commanders whom he will meet and their troops as curiously as they will scrutinize him. We repeat that we wish him all the pleasure imaginable from his journey. There is no true American who will not de- light to see him honored abroad, who will not remember kindly whatever is done to show him respect and honor in foreign countries ; and as under the wise policy of President Hayes political animos- ities are rapidly disappearing here we do not doubt that on his return to his native land General Grant will receive a welcome from his countrymen which will outshine in fervor and enthusiasm all that he may find in foreign lands. Resumption of Specie Payments. We discredit the endless rumors which are flying about the country respecting what Secretary Sherman intends or does not intend to do in connection with specie pay- ments. It goes without saying, that he and the whole administration favor resumption at the earliest possible period, and that they will do their best to accomplish it on the Ist of January, 1879, the date fixed by statute. It is barely possible that it may be accom- plished without further legislation; but we do not believe that either the Secretary of the Treasury or the President will be sat- isfied to undertake the task with the law in its present shape, We are confident that they will make an urgent ‘appeal to Congress for new legislation, and that they will not decide definitely as to this policy until they find whether such legislation can be obtained. All that they can determine in advance of the meeting of Congress is what measures they will recommend when it assembles. As that body does not meet until October there is no need of haste, and it would be unwise to commit themselves by premature declarations. Even when Congress meets the administration may not think it expe- dient to ask for what is absolutely best in its opinion, but only for such measures as, considering the temper and prejudices of that body, have a chance of gaining its assent.. If they should ask too much they may get nothing, and be reduced to the necessity of attempting resumption under the present imperfect and grossly defectivé law. A determination to proceed under this law if Congress neglects to pass anything better may stimulate that body to action, because resumption under the act of 1874 is plainly impossible without a great disturbance of business and of the money market. Congress cannot repeal that act or postpone the date, because President Hayes would certainly veto such a bill, He has, therefore, in his hands a potent instru- ment for compelling Congress to pass measures for making resumption in 1879 less burdensome to the people than it would be by the provisions of the present law. We are confident that Secretary Sherman. will not proceed far under that law unless he finds. it impossible to obtain supplementary legis- lation. We will not explain at present why we consider the law ot 1874 inadequate and what new legislation is needed; but we feel a strong assurance that Secretary Sherman will not commit himself to any specific and detailed policy until the Cabinet has agreed on the measures which the President ought to recommend to Congress. It would be premature and might prove embarrassing to make committals as to details much in ad- vance of the extra session. Another Indian Fight. General Miles, after a rapid and secret march begun on the 5th of May, struck 8 large Indian village near the Rosebud on the 7th, captured four hundred ponies, two hundred saddles and a large quantity of Indian supplies and slew fourteen warriors, among them the two chiefs Iron Star and Lame Deer, the heads of the village. These two Indian chiefs appear to have attempted an act of treachery. They pre- tended to surrender to General Miles and one of his aides, but after they had shaken hands they suddenly picked up their rifles and began firing. Both were at once shot. One of them wore a headdress having besides feathers some yellow facings, sup- posed to be part of the plunder of the Custer massacre. General Miles’ losses appear to have been nearly as heavy as those of the Indians; but the latter will suffer for the lack of the ammunition and provisions which fell into the hands of the attacking party. Unfortunately the Indians know that when they are tired of fighting they can always go into a reservation to get fed and clothed; and having now killed and wounded o number of our soldiers, and being left without ponies, they will proba- bly presently give themselves up, sure of not being hanged as they deserve. Mexican Rumors. Our government has none but the most amicable intentions toward Mexico, all ru- mors to the contrary notwithstanding, This, which we have several times as- serted, is now repeated, evidently on authority, by our Washington corre- spondent. He adds that President Diaz is very anxious for recognition, but that our government holds that if he is worthy of recognition he must defend our border against the constant raids of thieves and murderers from the Mexican side. If he does this his recognition is possible; if he is too weak to do it we suspect he will have to wait. General Ord, it is said, will have no in- structions at present about a border policy. But if Diaz cannot keep in check his out- laws we suspect Ord will be told to do at. | pleasant. Our English cousins will find | It is not likely that Lerdo, who claims to be the constitutional President, will complain, and as to Diaz, Mr. Evarts does not know him, War News. The operations in Asia Minor seem now to be reduced to the simple movement of advance for the Russians and retreat for the Turks. Although despatches from Constan- tinople treat the situation hopefully it is not difficult to perceive that the writers are endeavoring to make the best of a bad state of affairs for Turkey. Mukhtar Pacha is in straitened circumstances, and begs to be let alone by his government. He feels, no doubt, that if he has to retire behind Erze- roum the least said about it at home the better. With his flanks menaced and no hope of breaking the solid Russian wall in front, he is compelled to look to the rear for safety. A rumor has been circulated in the Turkish capital that Ardahan was re- taken by the Turks, but the improbability of such an event is beyond question. In Euro- pean Turkey the arrival of the Czar at the headquarters of his army will, without doubt, be the signal for a grand advance across the Danube. The Christians of Bul- | garia are fearing a massacre, as the fanatical Moslems in the towns are becoming ex- cited. Decoration Day. By a popular usage which has continued long enough to be regarded as an es- tablished custom, and in this State by law, the 30th of May is set apart for decorating with flowers the graves of the brave soldiers who gave their lives to their country in the late war. It is” a beautiful custom, and it has taken such deep root that it is not likely to be discontinued during the present gen- eration. So far as we are aware there is nothing similar to it in any observance practised by any modern nation. Neither the French nor the Germans decorate the graves of the loyal men who fell in the great battles of 1870. Our) own war differed from others in the | fact that it was set on foot by the people rather than by the government, and, consid- ering it their own cause, they feel.a peculiar interest in those who fought for it. Another explanation of the greater interest we feel in our fallen soldiers is found in the nature of our armies, which consisted almost entirely of volunteers fresh from home ties and asso- ciations, while the great contests of other countries are waged by regular standing armies, separated from the great body of the people by the fact that they are soldiers by trade. It makes a grent difference in the popular feeling toward an army whether it consists. of the flower of the young men of a country, who sought temporary military seryiee by the promptings of intelligent patriotism, or whether it consists of men who habitually live in a state of separation from the rest of the community, as armies do in countries which maintain a vast stand- ing; force in time of peace. There is @ nearness of interest and warmth of affection between our transient armies and the great body of people which cannot exist where the military class is a permanent, separate organization. This was beautifully illus- trated during our late war by the post offices which accompatiied our armies, enabling our, soldiers to maintain a constant corre- spondence with friends, parents, sisters and sweethearts at home. Our custom of an- nually strewing flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers is not more characteristic and interesting than the post office system, which gave free play to domestic affections amid the carnage.of war. - This being the next year after our great centennial celebration we trust no distinc- tion will be made to-morrow between the graves of Northern and Southern soldiers in places where both exist in the same ceme- teries, The Southern soldiers, however misguided, were still our countrymen. They fought with a heroism of which no American has reason to be ashamed. The bravery, tenacity and soldierly qualities they exhibited during the war must be regarded ‘as a valuable contribution to the general rep- utation of the country. Oursecurity against foreign aggression or insult consists in the opinion entertained abroad of our public spirit and prowess, and other nations under- stand perfectly well tuat the military vigor of the South would be as strenuously ex- erted in a foreign war as it was in our civil conflict. It is not merely what the North did, but what both North and South did, that has given this country a character for military ability and resources which makes it formidable in the eyes of all nations, In this respect those who fought on both sides rendered a great service to the country by demonstrating that the sections which were so powerful against ench other would be irresistible against an exter- nal foe. The attested bravery of our whole people will save us from foreign at- tacks, and the blood spilled in our civil conflict may thus save us an equal Joss of life in wars with other Powers. The South- ern soldiers contributed their full share to this national reputation, and there should be no seruple or hesitation in scattering flowers upon their graves. They paid the full penalty of their mistakes, and their bravery is a precious national possession. Another International Kifle Match, All lovers of the noble sport of rifle shoot- ing will be pleased to learn that Oreedmoor will again become the scene of an inter- national rifle match. The National Rifle Association having issued an invitation’ to the world of markmanship to send teams to compete for the Centennial trophy so splen- didly won by our own team last year in the contest with the crack shots of Ireland, Scotland, Canada and Australia, a cable despatch from London snnounces that a team from the United Kingdom will come this yoar to compete for the prize. The chief interest attaching to this rifle match lies in the fact that for the first time our riflemen will shoot against English marksmen. It will be remembered that in any previous matches both here and in Ireland and Scotland no English rifleman took o part. The misun- derstanding regarding the arrangement of the team proposed by Great Britain last yeur prevented the formation of, one repre- senting the three kingdoms ; consequently we had separate teams from Scotland and TRIPLE SHEET. Ireland, The diffleulty was one in which the American association had no part. It was the result of o demand by the National Rifle Association of England that no representative team should compete unless from the United Kingdom. We had not the desired opportunity of measuring rifles with the representatives of the cel- ebrated volunteer system on which England relies so confidently. Now, however, all difficulties are removed, ond our riflemen, crowned as they are with the laurels of many fields, will find in this new team com- petitors whom they may be justly proud to defeat in a penceful contest at the butts of Creedmoor. Considering that several of the Irish and Scotch marks- men were equally skilfal as our best men, the prospects of a close contest are increased by the addition of the best shots of England. Confident as our riflemen well may be in their acknowledged strength, we advise them to prepare assidu- ously for this fiery trial. It is to be hoped that our Canadian friends will also take a part in the struggle. It is only by defeat that the way to victory is learned, and their pluck and perseverance last year under ad- versity won for them the highest praise. Look to it, then, gentlemen of the American team ; we expect you to hold the trophy against the world. Judiciul Dead Horse. One of the curiosities of modern justice is the case of Courbet, the French artist. Like many other men sadly befogged in politics, this amiable person thought the eutthroats, who one day snatched Paris from the feeble hands of the Thiers govern- ment, were patriots who had arisen to give freedom to France, and he sympathized with and applauded their purpose, There was even a more intinnate bond of sympathy. It was his opinion that the column in the Place Vendéme was a monstrous and inar- tistic structure, and when they proposed to pull it down he saw in them not only patriots, bu‘ * men of critical perceptions and currect taste. They pulled the column down, and the government has put it up again and has handed the bill to poor Courbet. The bill is 323,091f. 68¢., say $64,618 32. Courbet naturally protested against the making a little pleasure so expensive in a free country. He was not the only man there, nor the only one who encouraged the en- terprise. Rochefort was there and all the other great revolutionists. Many thousands sympathized, encouraged and applauded. Nevertheless, Courbet was the only man they could put their hands on, and he was condemned to pay. He has now made a treaty by which he is to pay in instalments of two thousand dollars year, on condition that all seizures of his property hitherto made are remitted. Payments in retard are to bear interest at five per cent, and if there is-a month’s default the whole debt becomes due immediately at the option of the government. Thus Cour- bet is a slave chained to the column for the rest of his life. Why not slip away over the frontier and leave it? “Because he is a Frenchman and cannot live out of Paris. He accepts this burden for the privilege of remaining in his own country. But where now is the fraternity of all the other repub- licans: They clamored against the column asa gloritication of the. military spirit, of which the people were the victims. Why not pay their share toward the‘indulgence of pulling itdown? One franc each from the sympathizers would greatly lighten Courbet’s load.

Riding in the State Coach and Lunching with the Mayor. The Ghost of Ultramontanism Haunting Germany. IN. ROME. (BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) LONDON, May 29, 1877, There is an unusual interest manifested here attending the arrival of General Grant, All the metropolitan and principal provincial newspapers are commenting on it es an event of great international importance. His history has never been so thoroughly canvassed. Every act of hig life seems suddenly to assume an importance in the estimation of these people. From the time he left West Point till he became Commander-in-Chief of the Union army, everything is discussed 1n detail. His service in Mexico under Generals Taylor and Scott, his Oregon campaign, hig pattles at Belmont, Paducah, Shiloh, Corinth, Vicksburg, Mission Ridge, Richmond and Peters- burg, his magnanimous treatment of Lee at Appos mattox Court House, his generosity in dealing with the armies of the Confederates in North Curolina, Alabama, Texas and elsewhere—all are mentioned most favorably. STATESMAN AND SOLDIER. He is regarded everywhere as a soldier and @ statesman. His statesmanship is treated espe- cially with regard to the settlement of the difficulty between England and the United States over the Alabama claims, the Canadian fisheries, "the troubles with Cuba and Mexico and the expressed honesty of the man in stendily paying off the na» tional debt during his administration. A PROFFERED RECEPTION AT QUEENSTOWN, A heavy north-northwest gale, which the HERALD had predicted, met the steamer Indiana as she neared Queenstown on Sunday evening, at about seven o'clock, The sea was running very high when the HERALD correspondent boarded the vessel. A steamtug, laden with a numerous deputation from Cork, went alongside Grant, wearing a plain black silk cap, was seen leaning over the taffrail, quietly smoking @ cigar. The instant he was recognized he was greeted with three enthusiastic Irish cheers by those om board the tug. The delegation offered him the hospitalities of Queenstown, remarking that every village aud hamlet in Ireland had resounded with the praises of his name, and would welcome him with all the warmth and candor characteristic of the Irish people. PROMISE TO VISIT 'RELAND. A ltttle ex tempore reception was held in the Captain’s cabin, when the ex-President, replied to the citizens of Queenstown, regretting that he could not then avail himself of their hospitality, but prom- ised Ww return to Ireland within a short time. Hie letters and cable despatches were then delivered to him, the deputation withdrew, andthe Indiana pro- ceeded to Liverpool, hearty cheers being exchanged between the two vessels as long as they were within bearing distance. ABKIVAL AT LIVERPOOL, There was a fair yachting breeze all the way up the Channel, the sun emerging occasionaily and permitting a clear view of the Welsh coast yester- day morning. The Indiana reached Liverpool at Nalf-past two P.M., gayly dressed all over with flags. In honor of the arrival of the distinguished American all the shipping in the Liverpool docks also exhibited a profuse display of bunting, the flags of all nations waving along the seven miles of wate front, presenting a magnificent coup d'@il, FIRST GREETINGS. General Badeau, the United States Consul Gens eral at London; the Vice Consul at Liverpool, repre: senting Mr. Fairchild, and a number of prominent Londou and Liverpool merchants, doing business with the United States, went out in three tenders and met the steamer a short distance down the. Mersey. As the Indiana neared the docks General Grant was seen standing on the bridge with the Captain, acknowledging the cheers of the immense crowds which lined the water front and every pies and vessel along the river. AN ENGLISH WELCOME. General Grant and friends left the steamer in ne tug, on which were the consuls and a few intimate friends. ine Mayor ot Liverpool, members of the Common Council, a deputation of merchants, sur+ rounded by an immense throng of peop!e of both to see the “great Yankee the arrival of the tenders landing stage. As General Badeau’s boat ran alongside the Custom House wharf @ tremendous, deafening cheer went up.
