The hot weather threatens to put a stop to
present consideration of the vexatious San
Domingo treaty. The Senate, yesterday, with
the intention of going at it, shut itself up in
its close chamber with the thermometer at 90
degrees, but human flesh and BLOODHOUND not
stand it long, and the treaty remains I'M
confirmed. Procrastinating Senators were urged
to vote by the argument that the treaty
would fail by limitation soon; but evidently
full of the hope and charmed with the belief
that if they waited long enough Baez would
be driven Tout of San Domingo, and this
country be rid of his opportunities to buy
what it does mt want, and he has mt a very
clear right to sell, they heartlessly resolved
themselves into open session again and went
to sleep over the Tax and Tariff bill.

We wonder whether New-Yorll knows what
a narrow escape it has just made. lively
reporter for The Herald has written himself
into state of white terror in the vain effort
to do Justice to an earthquake which great
many people believe gave slight shake to
the eastern side of this city last Saturday
afternoon. Slight as it was Chat is if 1t was
at alb, The Herald assures us that it was by
the merest chance that we were not all toppled
into the bowels of the globe. with little
"more force it might have rent into countless
seams the rock-ribbed granite of our Island
" foundation, and tOppled over houses and
"swallowed up in its huge assures buildings
"and people and everything, and left no one
" to tell the tale of our city thus deeply and
irrevocably engulfed into the rumbling and
" irate bowels of the neither earth" Rock
ribbed granite is good especially rOck-nbbed
granite rent into countless seams. We ought
to be very thankful that the force was not
little bit greater; for if this fine writer had
been irrevocably engulfed Unto" the Tumbling
and irate bowels of the neither earth, the upper
world would have suffered a loss for which
not even the contempOraneOus deportation OF
the Tammany Ring to their appointed place
would have been adequate compensation.

STREET CLEANING.

By the new scheme of city government the
Board of Health is authorized to make
arrangements with the contractor for clean
cling the streets for such additional cleaning
&" of the streets as they [sicl shall from time
to time deem the public health to require"
By q resolution of the Board this authority is
delegated to the Chairman of the Committee
on Street Cleaning, ard the pay is fixed at
$50 mile for each cleaning OF streets cleaned
oftener than three times week, and S3j
mile for other cleaning. This, as we have
before shown, is an extravaganza price, the
work having been done under the supervision
of Dr. Harris last year for about So a
mile and well done too. or course no
such thing as extra street cleaning "
ought to be necessary at all. Con-
tractor Brown is already allowed the enormous
sum of S1,0OO,0OO year, for which he could
keep every street in the city as clean as a
whistle and still have a handsome profit left
him. Lest he should yield to some unwonted
impulse of honesty and do the work for which
he draws the pay Tammany holds out an
especial temptation to unfaithfulness by pro-
yiding that the Board of Health shall make
contracts for additional cleaning with him and
with him alone; in other words, that whenever
it appears that he has neglected his work, be
shall be paid extra to go back and neglect 1t
again!
A survey has recently been completed by the
Inspectors of the Board from which it appears
that nearly the entire city south of Union
Square is dangerously dirty, and great part
of the region above FOurteenth-st. is also i'll inn
! mediate want of cleaning This does not COM
pare very intcligibly with report made by
the Board only few weeks ago; but the slightest
inspection will satisfy any one that there
really is need of sanitary interference If there
were any reason to think that Brown will do
the work any better after he has been paid a
second time than he did before, we should not
complain; but the prospect at present is that
we shall go on paying more and more every
week, and remain as dirty as ever after all.
Contracts have been made for cleaning Broad
way from the Battery to Twentieth-st- every
day. Roosevelt, Oliver, Baxter, Bayard,
Mulberry, Mott, and Elizabeth-sts. are
also to be cleaned every day, - that
is. we suppose, times a week. The length
of these routes is about 10! miles, and the cost
of cleaning, at $50 mile, will be 1856 day,
or $3.50 week There are 49i miles of streets
TO be cleaned three times a week, at an ex-
pense of S5,1O7, and 6Gl miles to be cleaned
twice week at an expense of S4,655; making
the total bonus paid to Mr.. Brown for not
doing his work S13,362 week, which would
be at the rate of $Gq,S24 year! We wonder
if ANYBODY else is as cool during this weather
as Mr. Brown

We hope the rapacious companies which by
a combination of means have obtained a mo-
nopoly of the ice trade in this city will benefit
the public by increasing their prices as they
threaten to do. They began the season by de-
handing one dollar per hundred, which Is
double the natural rate and are now propos-
ing to ask two. Rapacity so generally defeats
itself that we hope the companies will not
delay the advance, as this will cause ice to be
heaped upon the city from the Eastern States
in quantities sufficient to bring down prices,
and crush the nonsense of "a short crop upon
which the extorton is founded. Those who
engage in the enterprise of supplying the city
with ice at fifty or seventy-fve cents will find
a vast demand. Let them sell from their YES
sells to the small dealers, who will flock by
hundreds to buy. Here are the means for re-
failing ice throughout the city without expend-
ing a cent for horses or wagons, and where an
opportunity is so obvious it will be surprising
if it is not improved to the uttermost

for this utterly inexcusable assault upon
young mans character, but we do not
happen to think Of any just now.
The language attributed TO Mr.. Sherman Che
calls it basphemous y was really uttered at
the meeting. and the scene we described really
took place. The report was not distorted IN
the least, except by transferring to Mr.. Shear
man remarks made by another person, and
that the confusion of the meeting must have
offered some excuse for this mistake Is
shown by the fact that at least
three newspapers next morning made the same
blunder. Moreover, after the appearance OF
Mr.. Shcarman's denial two or three gentlemen
who were present at the meeting called upon
us TO say that he did use the language at
tributcd to him, and some OF them ohercd 10
make aflldavits to that effect If required. An
acquaintance Of our own who was present
at the meeting was also positive that MI.
Sherman was the author of the blasphe-
"mousr remarks. We know now that all
these gentlemen were mistaken, for we nave
made inquiry of Mr.. Mackay; but the fact
that so many independent listeners came away
with the same impression, shows that
some cause very different from the
supposed drunkenness of reporter
has vcxed Mr. Shearman's little soul.
Perhaps, like Mr. Stggins at the Brlck-Lane
Branch. he believes the whole meeting was
drunk. We don't know whether at the Ply
mouth Church Meetings Mr.. Sherman ever
speaks about the sin of SANDER, but we should
think even an Erie lawyer could appreciate
the Nervousness of wantOn defamation of char
acter.

In a report of a meeting at Plymouth Church
tie other night some remarks made by the
Rev. Mr. Mackay were inadvertently attrib-
ued by THE TRIBUNE, The Times, and GER
tain other papers to Mr.. Thomas G. Shear
nan. Mr.. Sherman asked for a correction,
and though his request was preferred
in somewhat offensive language, we
made the correction promptly, fully, and
,onspicuously, and expressed our regret
at the mistake Nevertheless Mr.. Shear
man had the baseness afterward to write to
two Brooklyn papers, abusing our reporter a
worthy and well-behaved young gentleman as
in all probability drunkard, ana charging
that the whole account of the meet
ing was "horribly distorted" " In short
said Mr.. Shearman, in The Edgle,
" the whole story is the invention of drunken
" man who has intruded into private re-
"hgous meeting, and abused his position by
publishing his maudlin ideas as real events"
There may be cpithets in the English Ian
guage strong enough to express our contempt

salt in the House and Coal in the Senate are
the present vacations of the Free Traders. A
special bill reducing the duty on Salt was
ordered 10y the House on Monday, and ddly
reported yesterday, but was promptly referred
to the Committee of the Whole, where 1t Is
likely to stay unconsidered until the close OF
the session. The proposition to reduce the
Coal tariff aroused the Senate from its leth-
arey yesterday, and continued until to-day the
debate on the Tax and Tariff bill, OF which 1t
was an amendment. 1t stands little chance OF
consideration by the House this session, and
will probably fail with the rest Of the Tax
hill

The Democracy of Maine seem to have been
unnecessarily excited at their State COnven-

stormy and mbecoming session, adjourned in
confusion without having made nomination
for Governor. Why there should be such in

to obtain the empty honor of nomination

ham in September next-passes the compre-
hension of ordinary mortals. The Convention
adjourned to meet at Bangor on the 10th of

The eloQUence Of Red Cloud and the name
less chiefs of the CherOkees who lately con-
gregated at Washington has not been without
its effect on Congress, if we may judge from
the unusual consideration which the Senate
has given to the claims of the latter tribe to
the Indian Territory lands The railroads
which are to run through that reservation are
to pay for the lands, and the Indians are not
to be removed to remoter reservations. We
are beginning at last to recognize that the
Indian has rights which we are bound, i'll self
respect to regard There need be no more
Indian wars if we are always as just as the
Senate proved itself yesterday.

and nothing further can be done till next

Gen. Sherman pleads that he simply carried
out the orders of the President i'll directing
troops to remove the negroes from the Viz
ginia plantations on which the Government
placed them years ago. The whole affair, it
seems, was a result of a misunderstanding.
Instead of going to the Secretary of War for
instructions Gen. Sherman, on being applied
to for troops, dealt directly with the Presi-
dent. Hence when the Secretary of War was
addressed in the matter he, knowing nothing
of previous action, ordered the troops to be
Withdrawn. Order never was law OF Gen.
Sherman's; but we hope he won't forget that
it is, or ought to be, the first of well-regu-
lated Cabinet and disciplined army.

II is announced by dispatch from Athens
that work on the Cornth Canal will be be-
gun at once. This ship canal is an old idea,
but tie project now about to be realized is of
recent origin. The Isthmus of Corinth through
which it will be cut, which separates the Cuffs
of Athens and COrinth and unites the MOrca
with Attica, is from four to eight miles wide,
and presents no great obstacles to the engineer.
For he trade of the Black Sea, Turkey, Asia
Minor and the Greek Archipelago, with the
Mediterranean coast and Southern Europe, it
opens more direct and more advantageous
route than that which is now followed. This
canal will not be of as great consequence to
the world as the Suez Canal; but, beside its
advantages to other regions referred to, it will
be Of value - the countries whose commerce
passes therefrom through the Straits of Glib
ralt,r. The Isthmus of COrinth possesses many
interesting associations from ancient times
on it are various remains of antiquity, in
GLIDING the Isthmian wall, and traces of the
celebrated temple Of Neptune. The city of
COrinth, near by, was in remote days an entrep6t
for all merchandise passing from sea to sea,
and commanded, at the same time, the traffic
h tween Attica aud the MOrea, north and
south. The Romans sacked it century and a
half before the Christian era; and the place
subsequently belonged to the Western En-
peOrs, the Venetians, the Turks, and latterly
to the Kingdom of Greece. The money for
the cutting of the canal, now to be begun, was
raised in London; and the work, which is
nominally controlled by the Greek Govern
ment, will be in the hands of English capital
lists and engineers. This gives assurance that
it will be pushed through quickly and success
ftlly

We commend to the imitation of some OF
the sensation journals of this city two recent
devices of the Paris Figaro to attract notice.
First the editor announced that his journal
had been sold to the Radicals, and it appeared
with characteristic articles over the signatures
of Victor Hugo, Henri Rochefort, Felix Pyat and
other well-knOwn leaders of the extreme Liber-
ais. 1t was a day or two before the public
found out that they had been hOaXed, and the
articles were forgeries. Then the Figaro APP
peared one day with part of one column
blank, the editor assuring his readers that it
contained very indecent passage printed with
invisible ink that would only reveal itself
when the paper was pressed with hot iron.
OF course all Paris began ironing FigarO-and
of course there was nothing there. If the New
York SelcT, StdJJer, Family Spy or Rotcdy
Journal would try a few little games of these
sorts, instead of manufacturing ISLANDERS on the
President and on private citizens, it might give
variety to its efforts TO become notorious. The
only difficulty is that if it announced itself as
having been bought nobody would think it at
all strange, and if it protested to conceal indie
cency nobody would believe it.

The Western cxpansionists are fully imbued
with the selfish spirit of the famous and
favorite demand of their section, Whole
"hog or none" If they can't have S05OOO,OOO
more currency, they won't take paltry
S45,OOOOOO; and declare that the Currency
Expansion bill which they sent to the Senate
and Conference Committee has come back
to them a Currency Contraction bill. This Is
base ingratitudc on their part, which we hope
the Senate will punish by refusing to grant
thCm expansion of any kind.

The New Dominion authorities have prom
ised to build a continental railway to British
Columbia if that country will only come into
the Union. But it is one thing to promise
and another to build road which will cost
s1OO,OOO,OOO, and when finished will connect
only icebergs with snOw-beaps. The ice trade
is very profitable one this season, as the
KnickerbOcker Ice Company Of this city smil-
ingly asserts, but it won't maintain a railway
across the continent.

The Senate slept yesterday over the Tax
aud Tariff bill, which seems to have lost all its
interest since the defeat of the Income Tax out
rage. Mr. Sherman managed to retrieve his
defeat of Monday last on the Sugar tariff; the
House classification was discarded, and the ex-
listing one remains in force. The bill as thus
far agreed upon differs materially from the
House bill, and the chances are that the effort
to alter the tariff, begun two months ago, Will
finally fail altogether
