Improvement Is simply one more pretext for

The PEAox MAN FOR WAR.-Another OF
can philosopher whose name is associated
with the history Of vegetable diet, free love,
free murder, cold water, deep ploughing, uni
versal peace and protective tariff, is before
us. He will not hear Of peace between
Prussia aud France. He Is all bloody minded
and all for war. His heart, that is so appalled,
at the blood of animals that he will rather live
on green apples than have mutton or veal at
the price OF the life Of fellow creature, feels
no thrill of horror at the death of twenty
thousand fine fellows from Germany and
France.

WEYDELLs WEAKNESS. We had been led
to believe by many utterances Of Wendell
Phillips that he was man without Weaknesses
that he was superior not only to all human
sympathy, but to- all the ordinary motives Of
human conduct. He has stood so on princi-
pie, and assailed with such superior spirit all
who bargained principle away for this, that
or the other reason that we thought he was
himself pure and noble compound of virtue,
mathematics and vituperation. But now we
hear that even he can modify principle little; ;
for here he stands on straight-out prohibition
platform and thinks he will not run lest he
may defeat Clafiin. Is Claflin, then, better
than all the virtues of temperance?

Of an important news character escapes our

the readers of the HERALD nave no doubt long

years past have fully proven.
We do not pretend that our comments upon

ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR DEFENSIVE PUa-
PosEs-The proposal Of that sprigh,ly journal,
Figaro, in favor Of placing electric lights on
the Paris fortifcatioos, has met with general
commendation. Some time ago the French
Navy Department made at Cherbourg, with
considerable success, series of experiments
with these electric lights. They must be far
more efacacious than calcium lights, which
we're, however, found not altogether useless at
Vicksbnrg by the Confederatcs on the lookout
for the federal feet. Military authorities think
that Fvgaros idea is good one, inasmuch a.
the dazzle of the electric lights will perplex
the besiegers and aid the besiesed Whether
the lights can be made to operate in the day
time as well as at night, producing with
greater intensity the binding, bewildering
effect of bits of looking glass held up against
the sun, remains to be seen. 1t is likely that
they will prove more serviceable for defensive
purposes than the balloons, which the Germans
are said TO be using, and which we expert
mented with during our late civil war

Chattanooga According TO the HERALD's
correspondent on the ground the losses in
killed and wosnded on each side were ten
thousand men, the Prussians, the attacking
party, losing most heavily. But while the
Prussians. In prisoners. lost only some two
hundred men. the French lost ten thousand.
including one hundred officers. The Prussians
lost no guns or stores, while the French lost
six mitrAilieuses. twenty-five cannon, four
hundred thousand francs N treasure, all their
baggage, tents. &C., aSd all their stores and
four eagles, the pride Of the French imperial

THK QUARANTINE WAR-Health Officer Car
nochan and his deputy were arrested yester-
day on the complaint of the Messrs. Pender-
grast, charging them with the illegal seizure
of the bark Wavelet, and laying damages at
ten thousand dollars. This bark Wavelet is
the one which evaded quarantine by conniv-
ance with the health authorities of Perth
Amboy. and came into Brooklyn from Rio
Janeiro-a yellow fever port-still infected, to
spread the disease throughout Brooklyn and
New York, rather than have the M essrs PEN
dergrast lose few dollars by the delay of
quarantine. DIR. Cornochan had the
bark cut out from the dock where
she was unloading and carried back
TO Quarantine, where she was disinfected in
the course of time. For this delay and the act
Of seizure the complainants now demand ten
thousand dollars. In one sense it is fortunate
that the case Is to be brought before the courts,
for some end must he made to this dangerous
coufiict, by which the health and lives of our
citizens, including the Messrs. Pendergrast,
are threatened but on the other hand it is
most incredible assurance on the part of the
complainants to demand damages when they
should have been thankful to escape some
severe punishment for their temerity in evading
the quarantine laws.

The repor, OF City Sanitary Inspector Nor
ris, which was read at the last regular session
Of the Board Of Health, chronicles four cases
Of smallpox and thirty nine cases OF relapsing
fever during the week ending Saturday, the
10th inst. No cases OF smallpox have been
reported since the 18th. There were eighteen
cases more Of relapsing fever than during the
previous week Those reported occurred In
nineteen dinerent houses aud sixteen different
streets. Inspector Morris very properly insists
on the necessity Of an early diagnosis and full
report by the medical attendant, and the
immediate removal Of the patient Much suf-
iering would thus be avoided, and the disease
would be the sooner eradicated. The Inspec-
tor says that the evidence Of the increase OF
typhus and typhoid fsvers following, as a rule.
in other countries the subsdence of rclapsing
fever, is now becoming manifest here.
Although, from the persistent neglect OF physi-
clans In reporting these and other contagious
diseases, 1t Is impossible 10 obtain reliable
data of the actual number occurring In this
city, yet from a comparison Of the death GER
tificatcs received at the Bureau of Record with
the number reported to the Bureau Of Sani-
tary Inspection ii must be inferred that "more
than double the number occur, OF which we
receive no report" While the small number
of cases made known. either by reports or by
deaths, in proportion to our immense popula-
tion, gives encouraging indications OF an unu-
sually healthy condition Of the city, yet this
favorable condition can only be maintained by
untiring, ceaseless vigilance In cleansing,
purifying and removing those filthy sccumula-
tions which. generate poison indoors and out
and make the atmosphere = swift vehicle for
contagious diseases.

The Sioux AND Crow INDIANS. are at war.
and General Sully thinks that the Crows can
not be placed on their reservations until the
Sioux are severely punished. But it is to be
hoped that General Sully does not propose to
punish them merely on account of the Crows.
These two tribes are treated hy us as inde-
pendent nations, for we maize treaties with
them, and as we are in chronic state Of war
against both OF them, there Is little sense OF
humanity in our forcing them to be at peace
with one another.
