Presidential Nuisnnccs In New York.

We must again call the attention Of the
Health Commissioners to the monster receptacle
on Tenth avenue, between Fifty and Fifty
fourth streets, for dead animals, slush and
debris. The HERALD gave, some time ago, a
full account of this deep pool of stagnant
water, nearly an acre in extent, stating, also,
the fact that during las. summers visitation of
the cholera the neighborhood was the most
unhealthy locality in the Twenty-second ward.
No heed has yet been paid to our suggestion
that in view of the approach Of sultry weather
and the possible return of the cholera, which
last year found two victims in single house
within stones throw of this pool, il should at
once be either drained or filled up. On the
north side Of Fifty second street, about midway
between Fourth and Fifth avenues, Is still
another pestilential nuisance-an accumulation
Of filth Of nearly all kinds, which has been per.
mitted to remain there for nearly year, not.
withstanding numerous reports which have been
made, not only 70 the police station, bat also to
the Health Commissioners themselves. !, To

These words, called forth by an invitation to
dinner, were to the point. and, had they really
foreshadowed our Mexican policy, would have
been OF great service to us. 1t is time, how
ever, that action should follow sentiment The
time demands an American representative by
the side OF Juarez as the exponent of the
moral force we have exercised in the restore
ton Of the republic. We want an able man !;
for the position demands man who Is fitted to
grapple with tue great questions which are to
arise in our contact with Mexico. Hs should
understand the language, the people, their his
tory and their wants; for he will be the great
link to make the contact harmonious The
Stae Departm ent should Immediately place us
in communication with the Mexican republic,
order tue present Minister to his post, if it con-
siders him capable to grapple with the i'm
manse work on hand there, or send some man
who can represent us and comply with the
exactions Of the position.

The Prince Of VALE. and Easl,.. Arr.

The HERALD published yesterday the speech
quet OF the Royal Academy, previous to the
opening of the exhibition. In that speech his
Royal Highness avows q laudable interest in
science and art If / may say SO, take, J" de-
clared the Prince, "thc same interest hich
my parents have always taken, although may
still hope shall always tread in their foot
steps in that respect" The Prince eulogized
Sir Edwin Landseer, facilitating himself on
having become the possessor OF an admirable
picture by that artist, and alluding to the great
distinction which Sir Edwin has lately achieved

laments the death last year of Sir G. Esstlake,
and the recent death of another Royal Aca-
demician, Mr.. Philip, " to the vivid truthfulness
Of whose pictures from Spanish life I myself

thus be seen, does not lack high patronage.
But high patronage alone, while IL may foster
and encourage, cannot create high art. The
London journals judge the exhibition with
which the Royal Academy has just entered on
its ninety-ninth year less leniently than the
Prince Of Wales. The Times, for instance,
seriously raises the question whether English
artists are worthily taking the stand in the
world that they ought to do, or yhether the
nation has outstripped the artists, and is
already demanding higher aspirations and
nobler deeds than any which these exhibitions
offer to represent the art life Of the country.

a GOOD STORY
CHARLIE WENTWORTH.

Charlie Wentworth was 3 favorite
with all-his handsome face and pleas.
ant smile every one liked to see; not
one in the class at Yale College was as
great favorite with the bellies of n Jew
Haven as he. No one ever thought of
dislil>ing Charlie, his word was law;
but his college days were over, he had
laid aside his Latin and Greek, and the
friends who listened to his well writ,
ten and ably delivered GRAFTON on com
mencement day, looked from one to
another with u smile of proud salts
faction.
Charles acquitted himself with hon
or, and every one was glad, and after
the exercises were over they crowded
around him to congratulate him on the
success he had achieved.
After bidding college friends good
bye and shaking hands with many a
pretty girl, he returned to his father
house to pursue his law studies. As.
siduously he applied himself, and little
more than year after his graduation
he was admitted to the bar, and the
future looked bright before him.
Charlie Wentworth was what is callet
a moral young man, that is, he wa
never seen to indul sc in bad habits
To be sure he played an excellent game
of billiards, but only for amusement
he was clever at cards, but he Away
played with Il lady for a partner; h'
was a graceful dancer, but he only
danced where fashion held her sway
He drank an occasional glass Of wine
but it was with friend, or at somC
convivial party; he had never been in
toxicated, and though he often re
turned home flushed and excited, he
feared no danger from contact with the
wine cup.
Was he not gentleman, and did he
not know how to control his appetitei
Oh, no, there was no danger for Char
lie Wentworth-he never could be-

Complete your county and township
organizations without delay. With
this thoroughly done, victory is sure
without it, there is danger. Revive
at once everywhere the Loyal Leagues
and associations, which proved ofsuch
vast service during the war. Let eve
ry patriotic man feel that he has some.
thing to do in the good work, and pro
ceed forthwith to do it with all his
might, Exclude all side issues, local
quarrels, and personal aspirations, and
labor only for the public good. Be
not deceived by the stale clamOr about
negro equality, and negro suffrage.
These worn-out hobbies were suppos-
ed to have been ridden to death at our
last two annual elections, when, as now,
they were declared by our enemies to
be the great issues of the contest.
They are now raised up and brought
upon the track again, mounted by the
same riders, and destined to the same
ignoble end Be not discouraged by
the vain boasting of our adversaries.
They have been ingloriously defeated
in every contest for years, and cannot
now prevail against us. The loyal
and patriotic people Of the State have
heretofore nobly sustained US, and
the cause of the country, under the
heavy pressure and Encouragement OF
drafts, taxation, bereavement, and car.
mage; and when nothing but an aDid-
ing faith in an overruling Providence,
and in the justice of our cause, enabled
us TO see the end Surely there can
be no faltering now, when the goal i:
almost reached! and when one more
united rally for our principles and oul
flag will enable US to secure the ript
fruits of the late dreadful civil war
and to garner them safely for our
selves and our children.
We stand over the ruins of Il gigan
tic rebellion, the most formidable enc
my ever encountered by republican
institutions. We stand close bz tn
graves of three hundred thousand O
our noblest men, who counted thei
lives well spent when offered freely
for Liberty and Union. In the pres
ence of their spcechless but eloquen
dust; in the presence of the doubtin,
and sneering enemies Of free Govern
ment, at home and abroad; in full view
of the oppressed millions, who from
beneath crushing despotisms watches
our flag, with tears, and hopes, am
prayers, throughout the four long year
of bloody conflict; before the rapid,
coming millions of the future; befor
a God of justice, and in the name Q
all that makes faithfulness to Him, an,
honor among men, we stand pledge,
to secure and maintain forever th
principles for which our brothers died

MisslSSlppi vs.. Vncle sam.

This State has fled a bill of injunction IN
the Supreme Court at Washington, against
the United State Government to prevent Fed
eral forces being quartered on her territory
under the military law passed by the last
Congress. This is undoubtedly one of Andy'q
stratagiss to defeat the Radical programme.
FrOm the decisions delivered by this Court
involving the rights Of the States which
shocked and outraged the country, we be-
lieve that Mississippi will accomplish the pur-
poses Of this appeal as far as is decision is
concerned. But then the will Of the whole
people constitute the law npOn all points,
and we are sure that here Congress will be
vindicated in this necessary provision to
protect loyalty in the SOuth. The people OF
the United States will not permit the laws
eoacted by their chosen representatives and
which they most heartily approve, to be over
ridden by a court that is corrupted and en-
thralled BY the influence offs rotten, demon
allied, and raitorous administration, The
mole may overcome in fierce contact the king
