JoURDAY AGAIN ON THE WARPATH. Our
new Superintendent of Police has been very
active in correcting abuses both within the
lines of the force and outside of them. He has
almost effectually shut up the mock auction
shops. He has in great measure put stop
to the panel game, for each of which feats
country greenhorns cannot be too grateful.
The last foray, however, was upon faro bank
in Nassau street, where the two proprietors,
eleven sporting visitors and all the gambling
tools were seized. We hope this is only the be-
ginning of Jourdan's raid upon these infamous
establishments, and that he will keep itu
until he roots them all out. The police know
very well where to find them. They are not
conducted with so much secrecy that any
vigilant officer cannot lay his finger upon them
at any moment. We trust, then, that the
Superintendent will 60 ahead and wipe them
all out.

The Presidout on ruaepeuoeuCe Day.

Connecticut has seized upon the President,
his family, and his friends, for the Fourth Of
July celebration. The little village of Wood
stock claims the Presidential party for that
occasion, and has made out splendid pro-
gramme. The President and his wife and
children, accompanied by Ben Butler, Henry
Ward Beecher, Governor Jewell, Senator
Buckingham, Henry G. Bowen, ex-Leutenant
Governor Woodford of this State-who is to
deliver the oration-and all the leading
lights of the rural neighborhood, in
cluding Hartford, Plainfeld, Norwich and
Putnam will make the glorious Fourth
triumph for Connecticut, and will pile up
crowns of glory for the snug little vii
lage of Woodstock and the clever Connecticut
politicians who have arranged this little affair.
We give in another column the whole pro-
gramme, from which it will be seen that an
ovation of two or three days is provided for,
winding up with such grand display of
firecrackers, blue lights, rockets and Ro-
man candles as the placid villagers never
saw before. Beecher will have good deal to
say about New England civilization, and all
that he says on that subject will undoubtedly be
most welcome. Lieutenant Governor Wood
ford, who keeps spread eagle always on
hand, will of course let loose the glorious bird
on the occasion. Ben Butler, not harassed
by the presence of Logan or Banks, can give
us one OF his ancient democratic speeches on
the old democratic theme, ''The Declaration
Of Independence. AS for the President, we
can imagine how he will enjoy the festivities
in his own quiet way, sub silentio, but he will
enjoy them immensely for all that.
Upon the whole it is a very sensible idea for
President Grant to get out of Washington on
the noisy Fourth and take his ease in the green
hooks and corners of Connecticut village.
We hope that his hosts will be moderate in
their enthusiasm and give him chance to
take little comfort after all his recent troubles
about Cuba and st. Domingo and the Cabinet
crisis

A Coop MoTTo FOR THE COUNTRY PREss.-
The Catskill Recorder has for its imprint,
subscriptions must be paid in advance
No pay, no paper" 1t would be well
for all the country press to adopt the cash
system. 1t would no doubt work as well in
the rural districts as it does in the larger cities,
and be of great advantage to all the respectable
country papers. The great cities, however,
are gradually absorbing the newspaper busi-
ness Of the country. Railroads, telegraphs
and steam machinery have within few years
swept away distance and brought the most
remote districts into, as it were, common
brotherhood with the populous marts of the
land. But where local, non-partisan papers
are needed they can be more safely and profit
ably conducted upon the mo pay, no paper"
principle than upon any other.

Old World Special Letters.

By a special correspondence from Europe,
which appears in our columns to-day, we are
enabled to continue our narrative of the pro-
gress of events in the Old World. Our writer's
also illustrate the inclination of public opinion
against the crowns and the war-making power,
besides noting the great change which is being
developed in favor of international economies,
cheap living and cheap executive. The de-
spatches come to us from Germany, France,
England and Turkey. The Zoll Parliament,
which represents the internal commercial in
terests of North and South Germany, closed it's
session by the adoption of revised tariff Of
border duties. Strange to say, the scale Of
charges is upward, and, consequently, against
the pockets of the German people. The new
tariff is, indeed, regarded as concession by
the Parliament to the war-making spirit and
necessities of the allied and confederated gov
ernments of Germany, and as affording an op-
portunity to the Prussian Minister at War to
increase the demands of his military budget
enormously, whether the people like it or not

under the feet of the French parliamentary
oppositionists Preparations were being made
for the commencement of the French
regicide trials. Crime, love and romance pre-
vailed, as usual, pretty generally in Paris.
The questions Of public education and church
discipline and control were canvassed anxious
ly in Great Britain, Earl Russell, the school,
masters of Scotland, and the Catholics of Eng
land having all had ''say" on the subject.
Turkey remained agitatcd on the subject of
the Egyptian policy 1t is limited that the
viceroy has many and powerful friends in Con-
stantinople, and that the Western Powers will

an early day, Notwithstanding any present
''patchwork" diplomacy.

DISCOVERY OF THE REAL TYPE SETTING
MACHINE. E.-That problem Of many fatuous me-
chanics, machine that could set type, is
solved-and the machine is found. Just now it
is making boots in Massachusetts,, but it will
not long be restricted to an industry that only
cheapens shoes. The machine to set type is re-
quired to think-just little; very, very lit
tle-but more than brass and mahogany could
be made to. John Chinaman, however, is up
to the required measure of intelection and not
80 far above it as to interfere with the cheap
ness Of his labor. There is a revolution in
this machine.

Central and South American News-Safcty
of the Henry Chauncey.

We publish on another page most interest
ing budget of news from Central and South
America. Prominent in the news is the happy
intelligence of the safety of the steamship
Henry Chauncey. The steamer had only left
her wharf about twenty-five minutes when she
broke her port shaft and was compelled to put
back to Aspinwall to repair injuries. The an
nouncement Of the safety of the Henry
Chauncey will bring happy tidings to
many persons, no doubt, as recent
disasters on the ocean have implanted an
unwholesome fear in the minds OF those whose
relations and friends ''go down to the sea in
ships" The Henry Chauncey is safe, and her
passengers, crew and cargo have suffered no
injury.
While the happy task of chronicling the
safety Of a passenger steamer falls to our lot
the distressing news reaches us of terrific
fire in the city of Panama, accompanied with
serious loss of life and the almost total destruc-
ton of the business portion of the city. The
scenes are described as dreadful. No resources
were at hand to subdue the flames. It is said
the only fire engine on the Isthmus was the
one in Aspinwall, and this had to be conveyed
by rail across the country while the city was
in flames Two hotels and most OF the promi-
nent buildings on Mercedes street have been
destroyed. Houses on both sides OF some
streets have been reduced to heaps of ruins.
The number of lives lost is set down at twelve,
but it is feared that the figure will reach a
much greater number.
Our correspondents in the several South
American republics and in the empire of Bra
zil furnish us with interesting resume of the
progress of events throughout the Southern
Continent.
Affairs in Peru are exceedingly cheering.
Industrial pursuits are fast putting an end to
the revolutionary inclinations which in times
past characterized the Peruvians. The elec-
tions in Chill are over, and the progressive
party, although it has not majority in Con-
gress, still has added largely to its numbers.
In Brazil the question of slavery is being ven
tilated The liberals are determined to press
this question, and even the supporters Of the
government foresee that something will have
to be done in this direction. They are trim
ming their sails accordingly. From many Of
the other South American countries the news
which we publish will be regarded with
interest.
The New York herald., 1870-06-20
Mosquito Suits.

In the defensive war that the travellers on
the Morris and Essex road are compelled to
make against the oppressive regulations and
unjust exactions of that company it is pro-
posed not to unite their means on one suit that
shall try thoroughly before the courts the
several points in dispute, but to tease the cor
poration with many small suits on the part of
all the persons oppressed; and these proposed
suits are likened to mosquito bites. We are
afraid the corporation will stand great deal
of that teasing, and that it will be found to
have for such mosquitoes the hide of
rhinoceros. In cases where the law is known
and clear, because all the points have been
frequently determined on exactly similar cases,
this plan answers. The poorest, humblest,
least demonstrative individual gets damages
against company where a relative is killed;
for the lawyers will take these cases without
fees and abide the issue for their remuneration.
But on many others our system of jurispru-
dence simply works denial of justice to any
litigant who comes without long purse.
Even when judgment is rendered against the
company the case goes from point to point on
appeal, and the man who cannot afford to give
up his business to redress his wrongs is de-
feated with all the law in his favor. It will be
thus with the mosquito suits on the Morris and
Essex but united body of commuters could
beat the company.

PROTECTION TO AMERICAN INTERESTS IN
VENEZUELA. Secretary Fish seems to have
walked up little to the protection Of American
interests abroad. In reply to request of some
New York merchants for protection to our citi-
zens and trade at Maracaibo, Venezuela, he an
nounces, in letter published yesterday, that
Rear Admiral Poor, commanding the North
Atlantic feet, had been instructed to take
such action as he may be able, to give the pro-
lection desired. There are few Americans
and not much trade, it is true, at Maracaibo,
but this desire to protect even small number
of our citizens, or even one, and the little
American interests there, shows something Of
the spirit of the British government in such
cases. We only hope Mr.. Fish will not ''strain
at gnat and swallow camel"-will not neg
lect the outrages on and murder of our citi-
zens in Cuba and the insults to the American
flag there while he is giving protection to lesser
interests in Maracaibo.

THE DARIEN CANAL SURvEY.-The news
from Commander Selfridges surveying party on
the Isthmus of Darien is not at all favorable.
No satisfactory results have been accomplished.
The men are disheartened; sickness prevails;
desertions are frequent, and would become
more numerous if the chances of getting away
were more readily obtained. The expedition
will soon return, and from what we have
heard of its labors up to the present time its
mission will not prove as fruitful as was an
ticipated when it left here.
The New York herald., 1870-06-20

SECRETARY BOUTWELL, has issued his cir
cular warning American fishermen of the new
regulations regarding the Canadian fisheries,
made necessary by the act of the Dominion
authorities in refusing fishing license in future
to foreign vessels. This is the first step
towards retaliation for the abrogation Of our
reciprocity with the smart young Dominion,
and the authorities there expect that it will
bring us Immediately to sense of our in
significance. If it does not they will
probably close the Welland Canal against us,
and do other things to ruin our commerce and
pauperize us generally.

OUR PILOTS will be likely to hesitate little
before they trust themselves to the merciless
hands of the captains and crews Of Southern
European ships, unless the crew of the
Italian brig Josephine, which has just
been overhanled by the United States
authorities at Norfolk, are severely punished
for their infamous treatment of the pilot
who had that vessel in charge on the
Chesapeake Bay. Captain Cole, it appears,
was plotting the brig to sea when he was set
upon, robbed Of sixty dollars and his life
threatened by the mate and sailors, so that for
three days he dared not close his eyes in sleep.
1t was only by jumping overheard and swim
ming to the boat of passing schooner that he
escaped death at the hands of the rufians
on board the Josephine. 1t is not often re-
membered, perhaps, that a pilot solitary and
alone on the deck of foreign vessel, often
manned by desperadoes, runs considerable
risk if he has anything on his person to tempt
cupidity. Therefore, our pilots should be pro-
tected from such dangers, although, in this
case, the crew claim that the pilot was insane

The ssStamina of the Republic"-Th,
Crops for 1870.

we publish tO-uay repOrIS lrOu every Sec
ton Of the country, giving the most reliable
data upon which to base safe calculation in
regard to the prospects OF the coming crops.
1t will be seen, no doubt with sincere gratifica-
ton, that the auguries for an abundant, if not
an unprecedented harvest were never more
striking and encouraging. In the South the
harvesting has already commenced under very
fattering auspices, although in Virginia there
is a little complaint on account of wet weather.
But it so happens that, while the wet weather
in measure interferes with the work of hus-
banding the cereals, it has a nourishing effect
upon the tender tobacco plants so that what
is lost in one way will be gained in another.
Among the most interesting features in this
agricultural exhibit is the fact that the South
has been blessed to an unexampled degree in
the prospective luxuriant yield of it's staple
and cereal products, particularly in Tennessee.
It has been ascertained, also, that greater
breadth of corn has been planted than was
apprehended early in the season; SO that, with
full cotton gins and full corn bins, our South
ern brethren may 'rejoice in their abundance"

In giving these reports we wish to state that
they are gathered promiscuously, from our own
sources Of information, and do not come from
any organized associations Of men who, like
some government officials, perhaps, have an
interest in giving certain coloring, for COM
mercial or speculative purposes, to the charac-
ter of the coming crops. This explanation
may be necessary in view of the recent at
tempt of speculators to ''bull' the grain mar

The Close of the Musical Festival.

The great Beethoven musical festival came
to happy and successful conclusion on Satur-
day night. Taking it all in all, it was musi-
cal triumph which gives encouragement for
another essay of the same kind. In point of
attendance and receipts also it was essentially
a success. The public enjoyed it, and, in pro-
portion to their appreciation of fine music and
an unusual combination of talent, they patron
lied it literally. The great haste in which
the jubilee was got up necessarily implied
several defects, which can be remedied on
future occasion. The experience of last week
will not be lost upon the projectors of mou-
ster affair, involving the reconstruction of a
gigantic building, the harmonizing of different
choral societies. some thirteen hum
dred voices--not accustomed to sing together,
the harmonizing also of cloud of directors,
class not free from jealousy, and not always
easily satisfied, and the management of very
large orchestra. All things considered, this
almost impromptu festival went off gallantly.
There was probably more musical talent, ma
tive and foreign, impressed into the public
before We had all our best artists of various
nationalities, making a cosmopolitan m6laUge
of nearly all the famous compositions of the
composers Of all great musical nations.
The success Of the Beethoven festival, allow
ing for all drawbacks, gives fair prospect for
another such grand musical treat, and we hope
to see it renewed at no distant time.

THE INCOME TAx.-We learn from Wash
ington that the members of the Senate, or
majority of them, have listened to the senti-
ments of the people on the income tax, and
have become satisfied that it will not do to at
tempt any longer to collect money upon such
an odious enactment. The members of the
perpetrated in re-enacting the income tax
clause, after the government had pledged itself
that the burden should be taken from the peo-
pie in the year 1870, and if the subject could
again come before them they would not be
found in favor of galvanizing that dead issue,
