The Herald and Certain Public Nobodies.
Recently we gave the views on public ques-
tions Of the newly elected Governor Of vr-
ginia, Mr.. Walker. Mr., Walker did what is
not uncommon with politicians of certain
stripe-he spoke so freely that he said more
than be was willing to stand by. So when his
sentiments were duly put In print and he was
assailed by the politicians he did not stand by
his sayings, but incontinently ran and hid
himself behind the old shield of "a false report,
SIR" It did not save him, however, for We
were able to fully sustain our reporters cor
rectness. Nearly the same thing happened in
recent report we gave Of proceedings in the
Board of Health, wherein worthy disciple
Of Esculapius, smarting under an irrita-
ton Of personal vanity that a philoso-
pher ought not to feel, denounced
newspaper. We gave this report with pain, OF
course-pain for the philosopher and deep con-
Germ for the character Of the press thus assailed
in the person of our good-natured though
quite unreliable contemporary. We were not
surprised when the Doctor denied his own
words at the requirement. of the paper I'm
pugned, for 1t was only q sign that in his
cooler five minutes he did not remember the
evil thoughts Of his angry half hour. Even
in the distribution of abuse and Ill names 1t is
true that
To forget what we bestow
Bespeaks noble mind
But we, being thus assailed, in our turn had
to come out with the evidence, and have
shown that we were right, and the Doctors
denial goes for nothing-cheaper than bread
pills. Again we hear from another Gov
ernor of Virginia, Mr.. Wells by name. We
published some days ago what we called his
highwayman's programme for robbing the
people of Virginia of the direct result Of their
sufrages by delays that would keep the new
Governor indefinitely out of his place. Then
we published Mr.. Wells denial that he ever
entertained such thought. Now we have re-
ceived from Virginia full and authenticated
account of the conversation in which Mr.. Wells
put forth that plan, and shall publish that If
necessary. Public men who do not appreciate
the full force of print, if perchance they get In
it in an unpleasant way, had better founder
out by any other means than charging false
hood on US,

THE UNION or THE IBERIAN PENINSULA. -
1t is said that General Prim intends to offer
the crown Of Spain to King Luis of Portugal
We say good. Prim aud Serrauo, IL they have
the power, cannot do wiser thing If Spain
and Portugal would ever again take their
place in the world they must be a unit.
Divided they are doomed United they have
chance of salvation. King Luis on ehe
throne Of Spain would be very much what the
frst James was on The throne of England.
King James made Scotland aud England one
and the union was benefit to both kingdoms.
IF by any means the Peninsula can be made
one we shall rejoice, for It will be gain to
humanity. II is doubtful, however, whether
such union Is yet practicable. We shall see.

Tho Public Health.

Special thanksgiving Is due to God for the
extraordinarily good health enjoyed this sum-
mer by the inhabitants of New York and its
adjacent cities and by the floating population
of our superb bay. Cases of cholera have
been extremely rare. Last year single YES
sci from Germany imported thirty-five cases of
smallpox; but there were only two on bark
which arrived from Bremen on the 9TH iust
with two hundred and sixty -four emigrant pas
sengers. Only two cases Of yellow fever are
reported at the Quarantine station, where,
according to the efficient and indefatigabIe
Deputy Health Officer, the arrangements are
equal to any emergency. At the last weekly
meeting Of the Board Of Health DR.. Harris
reported that during the first week in August
there were but five hundred and ninety-one
deaths in New York and two hundred and
twenty -four in Brooklyn lower rate of NOR
tally than that Of the corresponding week of
summer in many years past. The gain is
noticeable In all ages, but the most cOnspicu-
Gus in the first years Of childhood. This
Improvement is ascribed by DR.. Harris to three
principal causes. First, that while some of
the waterside nuisances and slums still con-
tinue, there is yet greater degree of cleanli-
ness observed in the streets and tenement
houses; secondly, the temperature has been
very favorable to the preservation of life and
health; and, thirdly, thousands of tenement
houses are better ventilated. DR.. Harris pro-
poses the adoption of better system of drain
age for the whole Metropolitan district, recon-
mending particularly that of which the salutary
effects have been shown in Paris where the
death rate for the week ending July IL, 1869,
was twenty two in one thousand, while twenty
years since it was nearly twice as great. Thus
science is gradually lending its aid towards
carrying out the bene6cent purposes of Provi-
dence.

FLOATING FIRE ENGINES, rs has just been
shown by the doings Of the one that went from
our harbor to Yonkers, are most valuable
additions to the force for extinguishing confa-
grations, not only when the fire ia near the
river, but also when water becomes scarce
even at distance from the river. We have
one, but we ought TO have at least half dozen.

RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES OF THE Gov
EMINENT. THE Treasury statement of the re-
ceipts and expenditures Of the government for
the quarter ending June 80, as published yes
terday, shows that the income is enormous and
far exceeding the current demands upon the
Treasury. Although this quarter of the year
is not considered the most prolific to the Trea-
sury, the receipts we're over hundred and
nine millions from the regular sources of rev.
enue. This is at the rate of over four hundred
and thirty six million year. 1t is a remark
able state Of things, and shows the wealth Of
the country, the patient manner in which the
people bear taxation and how freely they pour
their money into the Treasury when demanded
by the government. With such an exhibit Of
the finances who can doubt our ability to pay
the national debt within reasonable time?

WE have 80 many legal devices favoring
personal liberty that it is scarcely possible to
arrest or detain any man who can pay lawyers.
Witness the Susquehanna Railroad case, in
which everybody gets arrested three or four
times day on one process or another, and in
which the arrested parties are always at large
joker to this lawyers game Of thimbIerig, and
you can never tell where he Is.

THE EXPRESS HIGHWAY ROBBERY. We trust
that the actors in this atrotious robbery, and
every person besides connected with II, shonld
there be any such, may be soon brought to
justice. This is case in which the detectives,
If they are of any service at all, should exert
themselves, for impuuity here means other simi-
lar crimes, and possibly murder, thereafter. If
they fail to bestr themselves as they ought to do
the public may be tempted TO take the matter
out of their hands, as in the case of the Indiana
express robberes of last year, when they
called In the assistance Of Judge Lynch. We,
for our part. have no confidence whatever in
Judge Lynchs decision and therefore we hope
the detectives will exert themselves to some
purpose 10 this matter. IL Is one of those
cases in which not only the whole commercial
community, but every person interested IL
social order, whoever he may be, wishes them
success.

CLERKS AND AGENTs-No DIFFERENCE. -
The decision of United States Commissioner
Shields in the case Of the lottery dealers
settles the question as to the status of clerks
and agents, at least within the interpre-
tation of the Internal Revenue law. Certain
lottery agents evaded the payment of the
special tax as lottery ticket dealers upon the
plea that they were merely ''clerks" Of the
lottery dealers. The Commissioner decided
that they were ''agents" in the eye of the law,
and therefore sent them before the Grand Jury.
1t must now be settled whether principals can
evade the law by transferring their business to
the hands Of their employees and calling them
clerks. If the latter are responsible to their
employers for the profits and losses of the
business, why are they not responsible to the
government for the tax?

Bloody Business in Spain.

The cause of liberty and progress has our
hearty sympathy all over the world, but if we
would support the Spanish government in the
course of policy it is now adopting, not only in
Cuba, but at home, we must not only strain
a point to keep pace with it, but cast the
commonest feelings Of justice and humanity
completely aside As PROF. c: CO Iii: Ills we refer
our readers to yesterdays telegraphic despatch
from Madrid, which says ''the troops shoot all
individuals suspected Of Carlism without any
kind of trial" Now such way Of putting
down rebellion is utterly indefensible,
or in plain words 1t is atrocious. 1t is
quite enough to be punished for the crimes we
have committed, but to be shot for those we
are suspected Of is sort Of justice neither
Tim, ccirauv uvr any vao olso would like If
applied to himself. Had we, for instance,
during the late rebellion put to death all per-
sons suspected of sympathizing with the Con-
federates, or even all persons made prisoners
with arms in their hands, what blood-stained,
butchering government ours would then have
beenl Yet this is the very policy the Spanish
government is now pursuing. Positively, this
is worse treatment than we give to criminals
guilty of murder who chance to be caught red
handed in the fact, for even they claim the
privilege of a trial. and surely their case is
infinitely worse than that of parties who are
only suspected Of a political crime We believe
there are few Spaniards who have not at one
time or another been in rebellion against the
constituted government and eleven months
ago Prim and Serrano themselves were among
that number; but what an outcry there would
have been. and justly, throughout Europe had
Queen Isabella's government then put to death
all persons suspected of sympathizing with
them! What was wrong then, however, is just
as wrong now and we trust that the govern
ment Of to-day will not persist in having re-
course to measures that would have disgraced
the imperious rule of Marfori and Isabella.

CENTRAL PoINT Masonry is truly
the sister of religion, for she boasts her
efficacy in all its native influence, and
is continually the assistant promoter of
like principles and like actions. The
central point of all her innumerable
lines, squares and circles is the love of
God. And upon this central point she
builds her faith from it she derives her
hope of glory here and hereafter, and
by it she squares her conduct in strict
Justice and universal charity. The
central point OF all true Masonry is the
love of God.
