Anne xa,ion of New Guinea to the Unite d
states.

Annexation of New Guinea to the United
states.
We published yesterday a communication
from Canadian Annexationist," who is con-
fdent that Great Britain is about to lose
or rather retire from all her American, Poly
nesian, Australian and South African colonies.
In view of this contingency, he proposes, as
an object well worthy of the attention of the
American people, the colonization of the
Island of Papua, or New Guinea, and its annex
alton to the United States. He asserts that
this fertile island, lying north Of Australia,
would form an unequalled field for American
capital and enterprise, and that its possession
would have the happiest effect in promoting
American interests and advancing American
power in the East. He adds that, unfit for
white labor, ii is eminently suited for Chinese
labor, and it would therefore utilize Chinese
immigration without provoking jealousy or
complaint. But whatever benefits we might
ultimately derive from the comparative proxl-
nifty of New Guinea to Hindostan, China,
Japan, and "the Settlements OF the Straits, "
the great Indian islands. and, in finc. all our

The Fall Elections.

Our political contest for the local fall cleo
tions will begir to assume definite shape this
week, and both sides already sound the assem-
bly, and rally their forces. We are to elect a
Governor, members of Assembly, members of
Congress and Mayor for the CITY and a
Sheriff for the county. Both State Conven-
tions should meet soon. The republicans
have already fixed a date for theirs. It will
sit at Saratoga, September Z. The democratic
authorities have not yet named their day. This
cannot be from any desire to know the course
of the republicans, but is attributed to dis
position to have the Legislature previously
assemble and change the day of election SO
that our local election may not come under the
influence of the law of Congress made to pre-
vent repeaters from choosing the representa-
tives to the national legislature. We sincerely
trust that tue democrats are not committing
themselves to any such mistaken course. This
would be blunder of the worst kind. No
party can afford to assume that laws made to
punish roguery endanger its supremacy, or
that a law which commends itself on princi-
pies of common honesty is offensive to it.
There are many candidates actually or i'm
pliedly before the public. For Governor there
have been named Governor Hoffman, Horace
Greeley, Peter B. Sweeny, James Fisk, Jr.,
John A. Kennedy and several others. Gov
ernor Hoffman will, Of course, be nominated
and elected; Fisk, Jr,, could be, perhaps, if
nominated, his strongest antagonist. He is
regarded by the people as very happy man
in his way, but the post Of Governor is little
out Of his way. Horace Greeley could never
be thought of by the people seriously, and if
he is expected to win as a funny man, why, he
is not half so funny as Fisk. Oakley Hall is o
candidate for Mayor and will be elected.
John Morrissey is named for this honorable
place, and although it is possible to elect such
a man 10 Congress it is not believed that the
city is yet SO far gone that he can be Mayor
Jimmy O'Brien, proprietor of the young
democracy, with three votes in the Legisla-
ture, is understood to be looking after the
republican votes, and may do very well on
that side the lines, for they are not SO partcu-
lar as they used to be in the choice of candi-
date s for Mayor.

during the present century at least American

ANOTHER COLLISION IN THE HARBoR. AT
twenty minutes past nine, on Saturday even
ing. schooner was run down Off pier No.
East river by an inward bound steamship,
which made no signal and did not even blow a
whistle. The schooner was struck well for
ward and cut clean in two, so that she sunk
in about half minute. Her captain, who
was at the wheel had barely time to
jump overheard when she went down. He
was saved, with two men, but boy fifteen
years old was drowned. The steamer drtted
off toward Buttermilk channel, and neither
lowered boat nor made an effort to save the
men and the BOY struggling in the water The

left wing or southern army, operating on the
Upper Rhine, embraces the Sixth corps, Gene
raj Tmplng, the Thirteenth corps, made up
of the Baden and Hesse Darmstadt contin-
gents, and two Bavarian army corps, along
with the Wurtemberg contingent. This force,
numbering originally 100000 men, is COM
manded by the Crown Prince of Prussia,
whose chief of staff is General Blumenthal.
The grand total Of these three armies is
426, 600 men, with reserve Of 100, 900 land
wehr which has been advanced to the Rhine
frontier within the last ten days. Now, it is
quite evident that, could the entire force of the
German grand army be concentrated on any
one point, the French would, for prudence
sake, require an equal number to confront
them, and that the losses by battle
could be quickly made up on the
German side by their well drilled reserves.
1t has not been shown that MacMahon. Fros-
sard, and latterly Bazaine, have at any time
had more than 250,000 effective troops

A SAD CAsE.-Our readers will re-
member an article which appeared in
the News q few days ago, copied from
the Alta, giving brief particulars of the
finding of tho dead body of little girl,
named Maggie Ryan, who had been
inhumauly outraged and murdered ull-
der a house near Drumm and Pacific
streets, San Francisco. a horrible,
bcastly wretch, named NJ. Quinn. has
been arrested and is now in Jail,
charged with the dreadful crime. An
investigation of the circumstances
leave scarcely a doubt of his guilt,
The Alta of yesterday morning gives
the following further particulars of the
arrest of another flend who Is believed
to have had something to do with the
dreadful crime:
"Chief Crowley, seeing the excited
state of mind Of the crowds hanging
about tho City Hall, has taken all pre-
ca~utionary measures to prevent any
trouble about there, keeping al addi-
tional number of officers on duty day
and night. The detectives and officers
are still continuing their energetic
labors In %unraYeling this mysterious
affair. Though the general cry was
made that Quinn vas the guilty man,
Captain Lees has formed q theory Of
the matter, gathered from circum-
stances which came to his knowledge,
that there was q possibility of another
party being concerned in this affair {;
and during the night, with officers
Ellis and Colley, arrested q Portu-
gucsc, who Is known by the name Of
"Spanish larry" who has been II
great number Of times under the
wharyes In the vicinity Of where the
horrible crime was committed. With
out the suspicious circumstances which
might be brought to bear against him
In this particular case, it Is believed
that the officers who made the arrest
will have done q double blessing If they
will, as it Is confidently expected they
can, flsten OH this man crimes Of the
most serious nature, committed by him
some time ago. The public may not
be surprised to hear, as soon rs the
facts oan be made public, that he is n
flendlsh criminal"

The supply Of bullion Is also better,

is, indeed, the chief cause Of lessened
demand for money. The demand for
remittance has also been less.

SOMEBODY writes to q Boston paper
to say that the conduct Of the Amer
lean press toward Mrs. Stowe and Lady
Byron was disgraceful. In a grand
and awful way the writer says: Born
in the zenith of all human capacity,
Lord Byron plunging, Lucifer-like, to
the nadir of all human crime" and
adds, "two women Of crystalline spirit
and Hottest genius, have rent the veil
which hitherto concealed the mysteries
Of their hideous Mokanna from the
eyes of his worshippers, and the instant
the hateful deformity of their horrid
prophet is disclosed, they fling them
selves against them as Aztec priests
might have done against those who
should have attempted to destroy their
awful war-god." All this is very ridi-
culous, and only needed to be supple
mented with the advice-which 1t was
to burn Byron's works, as an ex-
preston Of the life and character Of
the man, to make us laugh outright.
Are we going to throw pearls away
merely because the diver who brought
them out of the depths plunged. Luci-
fer-like, to the nadir of all human
crime?

copy of last weeks Reno Crescent, some
feloniously-inclined scallawag having
purloined III regular copy. 1t is the
best paper Old Lewis has issued for six
months. We know it is, by the fact
that IA name appears in it not less

not help but give tone to the Crescent.
