Of henrtlessness in the existence

Perhaps the greatest peril to w ich, in
their summer vacation, young men are liable,
is death by drowning Naturally this dan

ut such placcs the means and appliances
likely to I've at hand for saving drowning per-
sons are always greater than on inland
waters But in many of these drowning &C.
cidents ON obscure agent, Of which little is
likely to be said. plays an important part.
Take, for example, a large yachting party.
The little squadron is at anchor at one Of
the numerous convenient horbors in the
neighborhood OF New York Balls arc given
at the hotels Of the place in honor Of the
yschtsmen. The summer boarders flock TO
the vessels during the day, and perhaps take
short seaward excursions in them. During
all this festivity and enjoyment good deal
of wine is consumed; and possibly even
stronger stimuants arc tasted And when
number of these young fellows 90 swimming,
and in some inoxplicable way one of them
is suddenly drawn beneath the water and
drowned, perhaps pulling under another
with him US he sinks, every one speaks Of
the cramp, but no one says anything about
the glass of whiskey which he drank just
before he went in Is there one of the party
who does not think Of if
1t is PROFESSIONALLY true that large pro
portion Of accidents similar 10 that which
we have described are due to the use of
stimulating drinks Many n mother has
seen her son brought home dead, and has
never known what was the true cause of his
sudden death. She ascribcs il all TO inexpli.

his driver is killed; the pleasure boat is
capszcd and one of the party drowned or

seldom attributed TO the right cause. And
the danger attendant upon the use Of such
stimulants is nowhere greater than at the
summer resorts, which are frequented only
for pleasure, and where young men are apt
10 be far more reckless than at home.
Let those who are leaving town, then. re-
fleet on these dangers, and the many others
which will suggest themselves, before they
start and let them steadfastly resolve to
guard against them.

1rotting nj buffalo.

The most enterprising gentlemen connect
ed with any trottng association in the United
States are the parties who manage the
Buffalo Park. AS proof of this statement,
we need only mention that they have offered
over $4,000 in premiums, 10 be trottcd for
a. their summer meeting, which commences
next week.
Now, while we give the gentlemen-snd
at their head stands Mayor WELLS of Buffalo
credit for signal enterprise, we must re-
mind them that at their last meeting some
outrageous proceedings took place. For in
stance false time was given out from the
Judges stand when the double-team race
took place, and horses were allowed to run
when they should have been confined to
trotting.
If tho Buffalo Association desires to keep
up its prestige, such things must not be
tolerated in the future. Honesty is the best
policy in racing az in all other matters. Do
not allow men TO 20 into the judges stand
who have an interest in the decisions, or they
may decide in favor OF the horses on which
they have staked their own money. Such
practices cannot be permitted hereafter with
out n sacrifice of reputation on the part OF
the Buffalo Association.
Anoth her thing we have to suggest. Let
the Association have their track measured
by a competent surveyor. 1t is whispered
that the turns are 30 arranged that 2:3C
horse can trot in 2:29 on it. This should moi
be. Fix the track SO that horse canuo,
possibly trot less than a mile in going round
II, and then the Buffalo Association will
have the reputation of being an honorabl,
and lightoned, as it now has Of being ar
enterprsing Association.

The many alarming murders, following

raridity, which have recently startled the
people Of this city, are but a natural conse.

henr sway nj Tammany Hall the permanent
control of the city and State Of New York |;
tho other is to enrich and aggrandze the
Commissioners who direct the force in the
accomplishment of it's political purposes
How can there be an honest or efficient
police when thieves, robbers, pickpockets,
mud drunkards are put into the ranks and
kepi there? How can there be an efficient
police when 1t is deliberately used for such
frauds as have boon pcrpctratej by means of
It's mechanism in our recent elections? How

Mr.. Eish Going.

The World also has the news. II reports
hat Mr.. HAMILTON FIsu has recently in
formed the President that he must be allowed
Ia resign before the next session of Congress.
We are also told that he has desired 10 go
previously on various occasions, but has re-.
manned at the earnest request OF Gen. GRANT,
who did not know VIVA, TO do without him
And what n more. we have no doubt that
the President has really said all this. Nor
10 VIC question that at the moment he sid
it he really meant it.
There can be- no doubt that Mr.. Fish Will
Roon depart from Office. The truth is that
Glen. GRANT has for some time been very
anxious to gel Ri of him no matter what
he has said when the resignation has
been offered He is aware that this iu
competent and unpopular Secretary has been
a dead weight upon his Administration and
that his policy toward Cuba, and still more
his connection with SIDNEY WEBSTER aud
the scheme TO make sixteen millions by
buying that island, has inflicted fatal in
jury upon the project of renominnting and
Ieelecting ULYSSES ;. GRANT in 1872.
Accordingly, for some time past he has
treated Mr.. FISH with studied neglect for the
purpose of bringing him TO q positive rcsig-
nation. The fact IL well known that when
rol. AKEBMAS was appointed Attorney
lieneral, Mr.. FISH was designedly kept in
ignorance Of the whole proceeding, and first
heard OF the nomination from Senator who
bad learned it officially in executive session.
Still, it IL also fact that when Mr. FISH
expressed wish 10 leave Office about three
weeks ago, President GRANT besought him
TO remain at least for the present. Such is
the inconsistency of Presidential action; but
II is certain, as we have repeatedly informed
our readers, that Mr.. FISH will cease 10 be
secretary of State as soon ms the President
:nn determine who shall be his successor

Does lr. Greeley think Bribery Right
and Laudable

Our neighbor of the Tribune usually 40
staunch and earnest In advocating honesty
among all men, and especially among those
who are called 10 administer the Offices OF
the Government. determinedly refrains from
saying word in condemnation of the Acting
Secretary of State, and of the notorious case
of bribery by which he realized 100000 in
cash.
Is il just TO infer from this that Mr.. GREE.
LEY, by some moral misfortune, has come 10
regard bribery rs a venial offence, If not a
positive virtue, in those who are called by
tho Republican party to high political
station2 If this were not his opinion, would
he not publish the facts which the
Legislature of Massachusetts, has official
ly proved against BANCROFT DAVIS,
and denounce the President who
80 persistently keeps DAVIS in Office
in defiance of tho public sense of decency !
We know from Mr. GREELEY's own DECLARE
ton what he thinks of journals which see
all this villsiny enacted and triumphant, and
close their eyes and suffer it to pass without
rcLuke or comment !" and we must conclude
that some influence too powerful for lis nat
ural instincts compcls him to be silent re,
spect,ng the crime Of DAVIS.
