Even In the comparative absence of conta-
gious diseases the extreme heats of the season
have directly caused numerous deaths and
have left the public health peculiarly exposed
to those dread forms of sickness which are
generated by filth and bad ventilation. To
these latter agents the report of City Sanitary
Inspector Morris ascribes the increase in the
number of cases of relapslng fever There
were thirty-fvc cases of this dangerous dis
ease during the week ending August against
twenty-five during the preceding week. In
spector Morris reports, however, but six cases
of smallpox against eleven during the previous
seven days. The street cleaning authorities,
who have voted themselves an augmentation
of pay and privileges, might well also deter
mine upon redoubling their vigilance in
attending to their duties 1t is significant
fact that without an epidemic, and although so
many of our citizens are out of town, the
death rate, which at this season usually aver
ages four hundred, has swollen to twelve hun
dred. The column Of deaths recorded in the
HERALD has grown to on alarming length.
And now that the yellow fever has made its
appearance In the neishboring city of Phila-
delphia, as an immediate consequence of a
violation of quarantine regulations, 1t becomes
the duty Of our Board Of Health to see to it
that our own quarantine regulations are en-
forced more strictly than ever. Perth Amboy
to the contrary Notwithstanding. Every pre-
caution should be taken to preserve the health
of our city during the rest of this protracted
heated term.

TIE EXCESSIVE HEAT.

Since what has been denoted the heated term
set in the increase in mortality in and around the
metropolis has been really alarming, The pecu.
arlty OF the heat has been universally noticed, and
many upon whom heat had hitherto little or mo
effect have been obliged to succumb to Its influence
or acknowledge itSrpOwer. The summer OF 1869 was
rather warm, but It's effects far behind those Of
the present summer.
reference to the record OF mortality in this city
during the past SIX weeks as compared with that
Qfthe corresponding six weeks in 1869, shows that
the number OF deaths this summer has exceeded
that Of the same period by 1,2l5, an average in
crease OF 200 deaths per week, The total deaths
from July to August 7, 1882 were $685. and during
the same weeks this year 5,041.
The following cases Of sudden death, evidently
caused by the heat were reported yesterday at tine

MIR. SEWARD started on his new trip to
China and India from Auburn yesterday,
amid the hearty godspeeds Of his neighbors
and with the good wishes of all his country
men. In fact, wherever the grand old states
man goes the hearty goodwill of the people
goes with him, and wherever he may be,
whether in China, India, Europe or Alaska,
admirers Of genius, patriotism and pluck
everywhere will keep bim tenderly in their
memories. He is getting old now, but as he
is young and hopeful enough in spirit to
venture in his declining days upon so long a
journey we have good reason to expect for
him many more years Of useful and con-
tented life.

Coal DowN.-The strike among the
Pennsylvania miners has entirely ceased, and
all the coal mines are again in full blast. The
strikes have been unfortunate for the poor
men engaged In them, and they have returned
to their labors without single point they
struck for having been gained. The price OF
coal at the places of shipment has been
reduced to two dollars and twenty-five cents
per ton, with large stock on hand, so that,
with the cost Of transportation added, con-
sumers in this vicinity should not be compelled
to pay over five dollars or five ard half per
ton until navigation Closes four or five months
hence. These will be happy tdings for

That between the terrible scenes Of war on
Sunday last on the Rhine frontier and the
magnificent spectacle of peace in the lower
bay of New York on Monday last. The pic
ture In the one case presents us all the hor-
rors Of war; in the other we have all the glo-
ries and beautiful surroundings Of peace. The
contrast between these two pictures If intelli-
gently reduced to canvas, would be infinitely
more impressive than Landseer's famous COM
panion pieces of 'War" and "Peace." 1t has,
we think, been truly said that no pen can
fully describe and no pencil can fully paint,
with all Its accessories, the beautiful and
imposing spectacle Of our splendid yacht race
OF Monday last for the Queens Cup; but as
vivid, impressive, grand and glorious repre-
sentation of peace, with all Its beauties, all Its
triumphs, all its surprising attractions, it is to
be hoped that some capable artist, full of the
inspiration of the thrilling scene, will paint 1t,
and with the sublime legend above It, as In
letters ofllvlng light upon the sky,
Peace hath her victories
No less renowned than war.
Such picture, with the passage Of the
''invucible armada" for instance, out of the
Narrows in the foreground, aud the misty
point of Sandy Hook, the lightship and Old
Ocean In the far background, giving us any
thing approaching truthful reflection of the
pageant, will make tho fortune and the repu-
tation of the painter.

In Olden times when sovereigns went to the
wars it became necessary sometimes to estab-
lish a regency for the government of the realm
in their protracted absence. Many of these
puissant warriors passed years away from
their country, and it took them often many
months to 90 and come from the scat Of war.
Richard the Lion Heart was four years absent
from England, battering away at the walls of
Acre, Joppa and Ascalon /; Philip of France
was nearly two years on the same crusade,
in which they were in a measure isolated from
the seat and offices of government. But how
different is it now, when kings and emperors
can reach the seat of war in few hours by
railroad and direct the councils Of the nation
by telegraph! In these days Of telegraphs
and railroads the idea of q regency is farce.
And what greater could there be in this
enlightened age than the present regency Of
France With all respect for the estimable
lady who occupies the Regents chair, we
must regard her position as one of those stage
effects in which Napoleon so much delights.
This establishment Of the Empress as Regent
with 30 much show and formality is just like
the Emperors last sensation-taking little
boy to the battle field to pick up bullets
What was the necessity Of regency for
France when the Emperor was only soing q
few hundred miles from Paris, and is actually
not out of France at all
Napoleon has been making a good many
blunders of late-som, very silly, like those
referred to, and some very grave indeed,
like the idea that it only required great
mass of men thrown to the frontier
in order to conquer Prussia. He has
discovered since that brains as well as
soldiers are required for that task And he
has discovered another thing, too-that there
is fair share of brains on the other side OF
the Rhine "Our Fritz and ''our Carl are
not epauletted puppets. They are good SOL
diers, well skilled in all the requirements OF
the work they have in hand, both in council
and on the field. If Napoleon can see his way
before him he will quit these showman's
tricks, in which women and babies play the
second parts, and abdcate in favor Of the
French people and republican liberty. There
is nothing else left for him, unless he can
retrieve the defeat to his arms at once.

STRIKING BACK.-Not a very respectable
record is that Of the Secretary of the Republi-
can Executive Congressional Committee, which
is alleged to have been sustained by testimony
at Washington. The items in the record are,
dismissal from the army for cowardice, misap-
preparation of funds and conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman. Tie fun of the
thing is that the charges were hunted up and
verified by the government clerks whom the
secretary has been mulctng Of one per cent
on their salaries for the benefit Of the party.

GOLD 1l5a.-There are those in Wall street
who would have it that the decline in gold fol-
lowing the recent triumphs Of the Prussian
army is solely due to that cause. Had the
war taken another turn, however, we should
have witnessed the same result, though it
might not have been attained 80 soon. 1t is
not to be denied that the victory of people
so largely interested in our national welfare as
are the Germans should have reversed the
gold movement. 1t should not be forgotten,
however, that before the battle Of Woerth, in
fact after the French triumph at Wissembourg,
the reaction had already commenced, and gold
was declining here, while our bonds were
advancing in London. The first crisis had
already passed, and our credit was asserting
itself In the general msl5e Of war in Europe,
when the recent successes of Prussia came to
give the natural movement fresh impetus.

THE QUEENS SPEECH. Queen victoria's
speech, delivered in London yesterday, on the
occasion Of the propagation Of the session of
the British Parliament, is reported, by cable
telegram, in our columns to-day. Her Ma
jesty gives expression to her sorrow on
account of the existence of the war between
France and Prussia. She deplores the event,
but is non-committal as to the probable conse-
quences. England's neutrality is reafirmed.
The Queen refers to the progress which has
been made in the way Of useful legislation. and
hopes for continued advance in the path of
Parliamentary progress.
