THE DOCKS AND UPTOWN TRAVEL. The
communication printed in another column on
the wharves and city transit expresses only the
common popular impatience at the thought
that the new Dock Commissioners propose to
repair the present dock structures rather than
to build new ones. But we believe the repairs
contemplated are only such as may be neces-
sary to prevent actual calamity while the COM
mission takes time to determine what shall
finally be done. We can hardly doubt that it
intends to originate proper system of
wharves, and in its deliberations to that end
we commend to it the excellent suggestions Of

RED CLOUD and his warriors assembled
with Peter Cooper and his peacemakers in
solemn council at the Cooper Institute at noon
yesterday. A great many pale-faced specta-
tors were present. Rev. Howard Crosby
prayed and spoke, and Mr.. Peter Cooper
spoke, both in short syllables, that the red
men might understand them. Then Red Cloud
spoke also in short syllables. He made q
good impression upon sentimental people
who do not believe with Artemus Ward
that the Indian Of the period is "pizen
wherever found" He showed that his
race was disposed to do right, and
was anxious to be at peace with Its white
brothers. The council was great success,
and Red Cloud, Red Dog and all the other
''reds" were made glad, especially as they had
just been informed by telegraph that the gov
ernment had given them horses enough for the
whole party to ride home on. To-day they
win start by rail homeward, horses and all;
and within week or two we shall hear Of Red
Cloud and the other '.reds," on their govern
ment horses, riding down the defenceless
settlers on the prairies, and inaugurating. the
bloody wars which they so trenchantly depre-
Gated at the Cooper Institute.

Congressman Porter and Pat woods.

1t appears now in evidence that Pat Woods,

Arms Of the House of Representatives for strik-

felt himself insulted by Porter on the event.
full occasion of the knockdown and did not
know that he (Porter) was Congressman and
entitled to Congressional immunities at the
time. From his statement it would appear
that Porter has a habit of going round and
letting people know who he is and what ex-
alted rank he holds. He told Pat that he was
Porter, the Congressman (according to Pats
he said that he (Pat) was drunk
on porter and Congress water. This was
worse than gin and milk. Anybody would
have felt aggravated at it; and Pat, being a
hot-blooded Irishman, rather willing than
otherwise to fight even on mistaken premises,
promptly and effectually knocked the Con-
gressman down for what he supposed to be an
imputation on his drinking capacities. This is
all there is of it, according to Pats version
(and Congressman Porter's version does moi
much improve it), and yet the House persists
in making democratic martyr of Pat and
putting the high inducements of fame and good
lodging before every Muscular hod-carrier in the
South who finds lucky opportunity to knock
down carpet-bagging Congressman. Why
couldn't Porter have risen in his tracks and
knocked Pat down? It would have saved
money to the country and told better fol
Porter than the present investigation does.

The British "Gsg'' Law In Irslaud-Exocu-
tive Outrage ON the Freedom Of tho Press
Through the Herald.
The English Coercion act, which is known
Unfortunately to civilization AZ the Irish
Pains and Penalties bill and the British gag
law, is In complete and active operation in
Ireland. We may with justice and very good
reason assert that 1t is in audacious activity
on the soil. Having demonstrated to mankind
that the Irish people In Ireland have "no
rights" which the English executive is "bound
to respect, the officers OF the Queen's govern
ment demoralized perhaps to some extent by
past impunity, have assailed the free and
independent press of America. Special advices,
forwarded to us through the Atlantic cable
from London, coming in the shape in which the
telegram appears in our columns to-day, report
that one Of the HERALD special correspondents
in Ireland has just been arrested by the
police under the authority of the act
which suspends the habeas corpus in
the island. Our writer was seized In the town
OF Trim, in the county Of Meath, his baggage
ransacked. his papers-oficial for the HERALD
and 'private-overhaule and read by the
officers, and himself placed in durance for
time. How is this What the cause Of this
British onslaught both on our journalistic
enterprise and the person of our representa-
tive?
Two Irish editors Messrs. Sullivan and
Pigott, when sufocating under the operation
of this same British ''gag" law, ventured some
time ago to appeal to the HERALD to change
the venue from before the packed juries of the
Grown and to submit their cases. separately yet
unitedly in the narrative, to the grand inter-
national transatlantic tribunal, the American
people, through our columns. They threw
aside the s'delusions, the mockeries and the
snares" Of attorneys general and the Queens
judges, and looked for sympathy and a
plain statement and honest appreciation of
facts to the solid brain and candid heart
and mind of America through the
HERALD printing presses. We hearkened to
the appeal of Messrs. Sullivan and Pgott.
The ''how long, Of the distressed irish nation
ality appeared in the pages of the HERALD
on the 3Oth day of April. The HERALD which
contained the letters found its way to Ireland.
The case, as presented to and by us, was COM
mented on by some Of the English journals. 1t
produced an effect. Hence our present prose-
cution in the person Of our special writer in
ireland. 1t is the treatment Of Sullivan and
Pigott brought home, as far as possible, to our
selves. We must, for to-day, seek the same
means of redress as they did-submit the case
to the American people. Ask free nation
what it thinks of itp Ask Europe generally,
Can freedom Of expression be stamped out"
by degrees in the Old World Gan the Crowns
with their feudal coadjutors, conspire success
fully against free thought, steam and the
printing press? The crisis is imminent. The
questions are of universal Importance to the
cause of humanity.

The Tug OF War Como at Last.

Fron.a cable despatch which we print this
morning it will be seen that the fight in the
Roman Council on the question of Papal in
fallibility is not yet ended. The telegraphic
despatch of the 18th was vaguely worded. 1t
said there was no doubt that the dogma
of infallibility would be carried. This was
not news after all for no one has been
doubling any time these many months past
that the majority was strong enough to carry
the measure. Our anxiety, therefore, has not
been about the success of the new dogma, but
about the effect Of the new dogma on the mi
nority and the malcontents What is to be the
result fthe dogma? That is the question. 1t
is our opinion that the Council may do what it
may. 1t has the power. It has the will. No
doubt it will do it. But when it does the ques-
ton win not be conquest, but preservation.
The proclamation of the infallibility dogma
will leave the outside world as 1t is; but it
may give serious trouble to the Catholic
Church. II the Catholic Church survives it
and maintains its integrity it will have good
cause to be thankful. We have been waiting
long for the actual fight. We are glad to
know that the tug Of war has come at last.
The ant-infallibilists must now reveal their
mettle.

TOMMY HADDEN-THANKs TO JERSEY
Jersey deserves, above all things, the graft
tude Of our roguery-ridden community for the
wholesome example she constantly keeps
before us of the punishment Of crime. Jersey
is sternly just in her adhesion to the notions
Of punishment that regard criminals as some
thing else than honest men in temporary
difficulties. With her burglar is fellow to
be dsgraced as well as punished With us,
unfortunately, the worst rogue caught in his
crime is only good fellow in scrape. Jersey
has no sentiment, and even the snivelling Of
Tommy Hadden had not virtue to save him.
We owe her. therefore, our gratitude on gen.
eral principles, and In this special case of the
disposition of New York rogue. Cannot
we give our criminal justice out to Jersey by
contract?

REAL ESTATE IN TEE SoUTH.-The Chat
tanooga Times says farm Of two hundred
and fifty acres on Half Moon Island, forty
miles below Kingston, on the Tennessee river,
recently sold for two hundred dollars per
acre ''but," it continues, "before the war it
brought one hundred and ffty-three dollars in
gold per acre." That is to say, it brought
about twenty seven dollars in gold per acre
more after the war than before it, taking the
premium on gold at the latest quotations as
compared with greenbacks. Some of our
Southern contemporaries seem to imagine that
gold is still at war premium, say hundred
or hundred and fifty per cent above green
backs. when 1t is only about thirteen per cent,
and scarcely three per cent above government
bonds.
The New York herald., 1870-06-17

writes In letters of gold an additional reason
why it should continue in office. One Of the

The Franking bill was the main topic In the
Senate yesterday. Nearly the whole day was
occupied In discussing 1t, aud nothing impor-
tant was decided upon in the matter. except
that Mr.. Sumner would offer his substitute
to-day, which, besides being less satisfactory
than the preceding bill, II morally certain to
reopen the whole question. W
In the House q new Coal bill was reported
by Mr.. Schenck from the Committee Of Ways

in the House resolution demanding that bill
on the subject be reported. 1t simply amends
the regular free list by adding the words,
''coal, bituminous and every other kind"
The House referred the bill to the Committee
Of the Whole. Mr.. Bingham's substitute for
the Cuban resolution was accepted without
much debate. One or two average land grab
bing bills were reported. One Of them, grant
ing right Of way to q Salt Lake railroad, was
passed. Another, giving Goat Island, 10 San
Francisco harbor, to the Western Pacific
Railroad, is still under discussion. The fact
that the corporation to whom this rich plum

attributes the decrease in the white race

by deaths since the war, growing out of
the want Of proper food, clothing and
medical attendance. If this be the true
supposition and the registry of deaths in
Charleston appears to corroborate it, the
oolored race is rapidly passing away.

cause of large decrease in the negro
population Of South Carolina to escape
him; and this is migration to Georgia.
