The un- finished races of Thursday were won by Big Fellow and John H., and the principal event, the race free for all, was made conspicuous by the speed of the Philadelphia mare Nettie, who wotted a mile in 2:19. ‘This time was the fastest ever made on the Fleetwood track. FLOWERS FoR THE Sick.—We have not heard much this year of the socicty which makes it « pleasant duty to distribute flowers to the sick poor, but. do not doubt that the ladies who di- rect this true charity are not neglecting the work. None but those who have been confined long in a sick room can realize how the con- valescent patient welcomes a flower. +t comes like a breath of new life, and in many cases is more beneficial than medicine.

We may expeet its reappearance, with heavy rains, at the mouth of the St. Lawrence by Tuesday next. Jn the mean- time the low temperature will slowly approach trom the Northwest.

Two attempts within the last six days to assassinate our correspondent at Salt Lake City will be thought by the public to justify some plainness of speech from the Hznarp to the Mormon hierarchy. On Saturday evening last, as Mr. Stillson was returning to the Lion House from a drive, he was shot at by a stealthy miscreant who had con- cealed himself behind o tree at a distance of fifty feet from the point where the buggy was passing. The intending assassin missed his aim and fled. On Thursday last the same individual or anothergained access to Mr. Stillson’s room at the hotel, and, under pretence of delivering a paper, stabbed at him with a knife, failing of his purpose by the interposition of a portemonnaie; two photographs and a suspender buckle be- tween the knife and the breast of the corre- spondent. There is only one conceivable motive for these dastardly and repeated at- tempts at assassination. Our correspondent is a gentleman in his bearing, who never in | his life provoked personal hostility. His | letters and telegrams from Utah have been | extremely offensive to the Mormon chiefs, , nd a Sunday or two since. were made the iopic of an indecently vulgar and infuriated aarangue in the Mormon Temple. The at- | tempts on his life are, of course, a conse- quence of his exposures and the indignant commotion they have stirred up among the “Saints.” Now, we submit to the ‘Saints” that they are going too far. ‘The assassina- tion “in their capital of a truth-telling correspondent would bring upon them swift destruction, which they have no reason tocourt. To do them justice, we are slow to believe that they are seriously plotting a new addition to their hundreds of mur- ders under present circumstances. The Mormons are not deficient in shrewdness, and they know too well that the assassina- tion of a newspaper correspondent, who is hexciting the attention of the country by ex- posing them, would invevitably be ascribed to their instigation and raise a universal cry for justice and vengeance. It is more probable that they wish to alarm the corre- spondent and frighten him away. Having tried to win his favorable opinion by cour- tesies and blandishments on his first arri- val and failed, they now resort to terror. We believe they have mistaken their man as egregiously in the last appliance as they did in the first. ‘The Huzutp has had experience in this sort of strategy before. Five years ago it undertook to ascertain and publish the truth in relation to the insurrection in Cuba. The world had been deceived and bamboozled by the Spanish accounts, and we under- took to send correspondents within the rebel lines to explore the situation and state the exact truth. The first man we sent did not quite come up to the mark of enterprise and daring which is the usual characteristic of our plucky employés, whether among the savages of Africa, on the Indian frontier, in the interior of Cuba or in the great wars on both continents within the. last six- teen years, The first correspondent we sent to Cuba was a partial exception to an otherwise pretty uniform experience, He allowed his fears to be practised upon by the Spanish officials at Havana, and made a sudden retreat from the island which equally mortified and surprised us. This disappointment was but a transient interruption of our plans. We at once despatched on the next Havana steamer correspondents incapable of flinching. One of them, Mr. O'Kelly, was treated with great courtesy by Ceballos, the Governor General of Cuba, who signed a passport giving him permission to visit every part of the island. But when Mr. O'Kelly applied for a safe conduct Coballos pnt him off with courteous excuses, telling him that he could easily get in Havana from deserters and prisoners all the information | possible to be had within the rebel lines, Being under imperative instructions from this office Mr. O’Kelly proceeded at his own risk without a safe conduct, but when he reached the camp of General Morales ho was told that if he persisted in prosecuting be shotasa spy.” The Hxnaip correspondent told General Morales in return that he would do such an act at his peri]. He was warned that the shooting of an American citizen who had violated no law of Cuba would cause an outburst of public indignation in this country which wonld force the government into measures of redress, It requires no special courage for a jour- nal which successfully defied the Spanish government to persist in its efforts to expose the pestilent nest of Mormons. Even if they should assassinate Mr. Stillson he wonld be followed by successors as ener- getic, intelligent, determined and plucky us himself. For the Mormons to evade cx- | posure is qnite impossible now that the public mind has been so awakened, with scores of sharp, fearless men at the com- mand of the Heranp, The Mormons may | be quite sure that whatever may be the fate of any particular correspondent we shall uncover and reveal their iniquities, | If they murder any of ourggents the whole | country ‘will know the reason why.” Tho | | life of Mormonism would not be worth «a year’s purchase after such awn atrocity, in the present excited | state’ of public feeling, We think they are too shrewd to provoke the swift and terrible vengeance that would follow sach a crime. We incline to think | that instead of meditating a murder in the recent assaults on our correspondent they | expected to shake his nerves and frighten | him out of the Territory. ‘They will not ; succecd in this, and if they should assassi- | nate him we have other unquailing men in | our service who would promptly take his | place, v : After the execution of John D. Lee we thought the time had come for probing this Mormon ulcer to the bottom. The public had been kept in as deep ignorance as it was five or six years ago respecting the interior of Cuba, We think it a part of our mission to tear away the veil, and our success thus tar is attested by the | fears and the murderous’ rage of the Cuba tried first to flatter and seduce, and, failing in that, to frighten away our corre- Mormons. As the Spanish authorities in [pee Sos so the Mormons have been im- pélled, by the same dread of truth, to prac- tise the same tactics. When our present correspondent arrived in Utah he was treated with extraordinary courtesy. Brig- bam Young, surrounded by the assembled magnates of the Church, accorded him & reception at which they gave ready answers to all the questions he thought fit to ask. They probably expected that so much defer- ence and consideration would satisfy and dis- arm his employers and send him away witha favorable impression. By similar treatment they had beguiled most travellers who have visited them in quest of in- formation, and the fears excited by Lee's execution made them unusually suave aud insinuating in their bearing to the Hunavp's correspondent. He is not the kind of bird to be caught with such chaff, even if his instructions had permitted it. He was commissioned to remain in the Ter- ritory and ferret out the whole trath, so tar as it is ascertainable; and the Mormons, having found by his letters that he is not a fly to get his legs caught in honey, have changed their method and attempted to drive him away by alarm for his life. This method will have no better success than the first. They dare not murder him, or if they should there will be a great deal to follow which they will not relish. The Hznaup may reasonably feel a great deal more secure of its ability to protect its correspondents in our own country than it was to avenge ill treatment in Cuba. Even Spain dared not harm them, and a more signal vengeance would overtake the Mormons than was possible in the case of the Spaniards if they had exe- cuted their insolent threat to shoot our, commissioner as a spy. The long and interesting letter from our Salt Lake correspondent which we publish this morning will give the Latter Day Saints more occasion to squirm and flutter than they have had yet, and we ask them to ac- ceptitasa proof of the utter futility of either flattery or threats to shield them from exposure. The Correct Policy Toward Mexico. The new policy toward Mexico, which was sanctioned by the Cabinet yesterday in the absence of Secretary Evarts, is well known to be Mr. Evarts’ policy. We do not think at all that it requires to be de- fended in an apologetic tone. We repu- diate the idea that it needs any precedents to justify it. We think it ridiculous to fear that it portends war with Mexico or looks forward to a rectification of boundaries or acquisition of territory. It is, in- deed, a vigorous policy, but neverthe- less a policy which the government ought to have pursued with unflinching steadiness during all these recent years while our citizens on the Rio Grande have been robbed and plundered by Mexican cattle thieves from the other side of the river, Forbearance in such a case is a ridiculous weakness, and we are glad that Secretary Evarts is not disposed to give quarter to any such sentimental non- sense as that we are to tolerate robbery by a neighbor because that neighbor is feeble. In proportion as she is feeble the wrong can be so much more easily and safely redressed, and it is inex- cusable for a government so strong as ours not to protect its own citizens on its fron- tiers. It is the duty of every government to control its own subjects and restrain them from aggressions on its neighbors, Mexico has no right to be treated asanation unless she performs this plain and ordinary duty of nationality. If she cannot or will not protect us from her cattle thieves we must protect ourselves. We are glad the Cabinet has indorsed the view of Mr, Evarts and sanctioned the policy of following the marauders into Mexican ter- ritory and inflicting condign punishment on foreign soil. ‘The fear that this will lead to a war with Mexico is chimerical. If the government of that country is so weak that it cannot con- trol its own population on the Rio Grande what resources can it have for making war on the United States? But if it is strong enough to perform this plain duty and yet wilfully neglects it, we must bring Mexico to a proper sense of its international obligations. The vigorous policy of Mr. Evarts requires no apology ; what does need apology is the shilly-shally, sentimental forbearance prac- tised on this subject since the civil war. No duty of the federal government is clearer or more imperative than that of protecting our citizens from foreign aggression, and if Mexico wil] not take care of her own ban- dits we must perform that task for her when they infest us. : An Impertinent Demand, ‘There seems to be something so defiant of public opinion in the attempt of Mr, John Kelly and his Tammany agents in the Board of Aldermen to force the nomination of Mr. Henry D. Purroy as Commissioner of Police or of Public Parks that we are constrained to recur to the subject, although we have no idea that Mayor Ely will yield to either demand. Mr, D'urroy may possess many good qualities, but he has no public record to recommend him to the confidence of the people as the head of an important munici- pal department, Ho is, known to most of our citizens only as a ‘Tammany member of the Board of Aldermen and the strong parti- san of an overbearing Tammany leader. A Commissioner of Police should be a citizen of proved capacity, of experience and inde- pendence. A Commissioner of Public Parks should be a gentleman of refinement, cul- ture and artistic taste, holding a responsible position in the community, In selecting such officers the Mayor is bound to study these qualifications, and it is unwarrantable obtrusiveness on the part of any political leader to attempt to coerce him into ‘an unfit appointment. Itis said that the Governor has been called to the city to aid in forcing the Mayor from the position he occupies in regard to these appointments. Governor Robinson could not commit a more fatal mistake thap to interfere in such a matter ; but even if he did, the Mayor who stood firm against the power of the old Tammany Ring in the Board of Supervisors is not likely to destroy his reputation at the bid- ding of the new, Tammany Ring. The at- tempt to force him to make improper nomi- nations for partisan purposes proves how fatal it would be to allow the city govern- ment to pass wholly under the control of the present Tammany dictatorship. All Aboard for Jerome Park. A few days ago London poured out her tens of thousands on the Epsom road, to celebrate the great English national event, the race for the Derby stakes. No other metropolis in the world could produce such a motley crowd as covers the downs and throngs the highways on that eventful occa- sion, ‘Io-@ay the people of New York will flock through the Central Park and up the Harlem Railroad to Fordham, on their way to the great racecourse of the American metropolis, Jerome Park. While the British capital may beat us in the numbers it con- tributes to the Derby race it must yield the palm to New York in the beauty and fashion of the attendance that will mark the first June meeting of the American Jockey Olub. There will be » greater number of well dressed and handsome ladies at Jerome Park to-day than can be seen at any race- course in England, not excepting the famous Ladies’ Day at Ascot. The weather promises to be fine ; the track is in splendid condi- tion ; the roads are to be well watered and kept free from dust ; the collection of horses is one of the finest that has been known since racing became an established sport in America; the arrangements are all perfect, and everything holds out the hope of one of the most successful and enjoyable opening days ever yewrecorded in the glorious annals of Jerome Park. The American turf has made such rapid strides within a few years that it will not be surprising if we soon take the lead of Eng- land in the sport which has been so essen- tially a British nationality, When we see such names as Belmont, Lorillard, Jerome and Astor among ‘the ‘‘stubles,” we have a right to predict such a future for the Amoeri- can turfas must place iton a par with the English turf in the latter's palmiest days. The gentlemen of America will make horse racing on this side of the Atlantic what the English nobility made it on the other side. New York must necessarily take the lead in the sport, since no city in the world has so splendid a track as that at Jerome Park, so conveniently und desirably located. ‘The drive through the Central Park and up the road is unequalled, and the grounds are un- surpassed in beauty and accommodations. When our city grows to two millions of pop- ulation we shall have our Derby Day at Jerome Park beyond doubt, and the short distance, especially when the upper part of the island shall be densely covered with population, will draw out the masses, on foot and in all conceivable conveyances, just as the English Epsom does. But at present the ‘surroundings of the track are like a beautiful flower garden. There to-day will be gathered the youth and fashion and love- liness of a metropolis famous for the beauty and taste of its female population, and the sight will be one which will richly repay the study of an artist’s eye and might well excite the fervor of a poet’s fancy. May Providence and the Hrzatp weather prophet provide a sunshine worthy of the scene! The Military Operations. Steady if not rapid progress is made by the Russians in Armenia, By to-day’s de- spatches it will be seen that they have car- ried some portion of the Turkish lines con- structed for the defence of Kars. How im- portant. these captures may be we cannot say, but that they are not mere outpost rifle- pits is evident from the fact that there was artillery in them, and artillery that was ap- parently too heavy for the retreating Moslems to take with them. This capture may well offset the retirement to Bajazid, the cause of which is not yet clear. In the confusion of the reports with regard to Ardahan there is yet some light. It appears that the Ottomans have ‘‘retaken” the place where the fortress stood, because the Russians, having destroyed the defences, moved their troops elsewhere. That they could not have retaken it if the Russians had seen any reason for holding the position seems to be made more than commonly clear by the fact that Mukhtar Pacha’s whole army num- bered only thirty-four thousand men, nearly without supplies, ‘That they have imposed any serious obstacle to the Russian advance is astonishing. The hysterical correspond- ent at Batoum of the London “elegraph | credits the Turks with tremendous victories* every day that there isaskirmish not fol- lowed by the entry of the Russians into the town; but the Russians have certainly made no serious attempt to capture that place, They have contented themselves thus far with cutting its communication with the country above, and have done this thor- oughly. Will the Russian operations in Armenia be seriously endangered by the re- volts near its lines of communication in the Caucasus? Probably not. All this force can be supplied by, another line—that, namely, by way of the Caspian Sca and the Araxes. It is likely that the treaty with Versia, which was discussed some weeks since, had reference to the possible necessity of using this line of supply which crosses Persian territory. fn Constantinople they are at least wise enough not to rest all their hopes on the remote possibility that the Russian armies will be destroyed in Bulgaria. They are consequently making a fortified line for the defence of the capital in the last resort. The line it is proposed to fortify is an old one and the scene of many desperate con- flicts. It runs from Dernous, on the Black Sea, to Bujuk Chekmadje, on the Sea of Marmora; is one of great natural strength, and can be made practically impregnable, Our despatch’ from Ragusa states that the Montenegrins have recommenced hostilities by capturing a Turkish blockhouse with its garrison, All rumors of peace negotiations are discredited at Berlin. Tue Inxvaston or New Jenszy.—Now Jer- | sey awoke yesterday morning with a start- ling din in its ears and found itself invaded by millions of seventeen year locusts, whose busy hum filled the groves, It is the genu- ine red-eyed locust, and the creature no sooner emerges from the ground than he climbs the nearest tree, sticks his claws into the bark, bursts the back of his jacket, awkwardly gets out of his old clothes and How much’ harm these invaders will do remains to be seen. For the present they seem to be mainly musical. Hurry Up, Mr. Mayer! | A gentleman at Hartford has just Hoa of hydrophobia. He was sitting in his office when a rabid dog ran in and bit him. Within a day or two a boy, ten yeurs old, and a younger child have been bitten by mad dogs inthe same city. Some weeks ago tho Aldermen of New York passed a dog law, designed to lessen the risk of similar disasters here, The owners of dogs are re- quired to get out. licenses; all unlicensed dogs are to be captured, and all dogs, whether licensed ‘or unlicensed, found in the streets tmmuzzled or not led by a string or chain are also to be:seized and carried to the pound, . After a certain time.such dogs, if not claimed and redeemed by their own- ers, are to be killed. This is a simple and proper law ; but we are in the midst of un- seasonably hot weather, and the law, so far as its most valuable public features are con- cerned, is a dead letter. The Mayor has not appointed dog catchers, first, because he waited for owners to get out licenses, which was fair enough, and, next, because the new pound is not ready. Now, if there is delay in building the new pound we ought to have some temporary place of deposit for the captured animals, or we may remain without a law all the sum- mer, and be at the mercy of rabid dogs. The Mayor should act at once in the matter. Because he moves slowly dogs will not post- pone rabies, and mad dogs will bite people, and people so bitten will die of hydropho- bia, despite the doubting doctors, who in- sist that they ought not to die at all and only do so out of contrariness, Will Mayor Ely please wake wp and do sdéimething toward protecting the people before the dog days are over?

GLADSTONE’S BIRMINGHAM Sa Se TRIUMPH, [BX CABLE TO THE HEBALD.] Lonpon, June 2, 1877. General Grant was formally introduced to the Prince of Wales yesterday, it being his first visit of importance after reaching this city. fle was invited to go to Epsom by the heir apparent. Ata few minutes to one o’clock the royal equipage con- taining the Prince of Wales drove up tothe Vic- toria’ station at Pimlico, followed by the carriages of the American Minister and others containing General Grant, Lord Dud- ley, Lord Eicho, the Duke of Hamilton, the German Ambassador, Count Munster; the Duke of Cambridge and a number of peers. ‘The distin- guished company passed into the station amid the Most enthusiastic cheering.
