more of engineers who do not know how

places where they may negligenty and cheaply

he knows much about dancing. We conceive
him to be quite incapable of the simplest
figure, and no more able to cut pigeOn-wing

social dance with virtuous maids and matrons
his own mother or sisters or daughters-he
would not have offended people as little

he does not know what he is writing about.

Will Superintendent Kelso please take notice
that other agencies than that of the Police which
he commands have nearly destroyed the swind-
ling policy business carried on by Simmons g.
Co., including his bosom friend William Cook
These agencies have driven these men to re-
sort to more secret, and consequently less
profitable, means of carrying on their infa-
nous trade, but their haunts are not so secret
that TRIBUNE reporters cannot discover them,
and the public, which pays, expects its detect
i've police to display at least as much shrewd-
ness in tracking down the rOgues, and equal
energy in exposing their treacherOus transac
tons. We give the Superintendent and the
public additional evidence concerning these
rascals this morning; and there is more of
still greater interest to the Superintendent in
reserve for use if this does not spur him on
to second the efforts making elsewhere, and
wipe this disgraceful business out of exist
ence. At the same time we beg to notify to
the Superintendent that some of the keno and
panel-houses lately suppressed by him under
compusiOn of public indignation consequent
on our exposures, are again in active operation.

The French-both people and Government
are certainly pursuing a very unfortunate
course toward Germany, pending negotiations
for the evacuation of their territory by the
German Army of Occupation. The press has
been grossly abusive toward "the Goths," as
they still delight to call their captors; and
instead of paying up the indemnity specified
in the Treaty of Peace, the Government, after
liguidating that portion which was really over
due, have continually begged the Germans to
anticipate the performance of their own
obligations. Impatient at this delay. tho
French Government has actually forbidden
the products of Alsace to enter French
markets until the evacuation finally is COM
pleted. The Provincial Correspondence, semi
official organ of the German Government
says, in effect, that if the French behave
themselves and pay up the indemnity, evacu-
alton of French territory will soon begin
The French so far, in their vanity and AFRO
gance, have appeared to lose sight altogether
of the fact that they are conquered people.

Mr.. Blaine, Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, occupies such prominent position
in the nation that any formal public remark
of his is worthy of attention. But, yesterday,
he made at Saratoga, a speech of no great
length in which he managed to re-
view the few chief topics of pub
lie discussion in a manner which cannot
but challenge admiration. The contrast be-
tween Republican management in the nation
and Democratic Encouragement in the me-
tropolis of the nation was sharply drawn; and
Mr.. Blaine's conclusion that Tammany's spoils
and Southern disorders are expected to COM
bine 70 carry the next Presidential election for
the Democrats is fOrcible and just.

THE LIGHT FANTASTIC.

In commenting upon the contemplated visit
of the Russian Prince to this country, The
Waterman and Reflector, q Boston religious
newspaper, mournfully anticipates the iniquity
of balls in honor of the young gentleman,
with innumerable cotillons. waltzes, mazur-
kas, redowas, hornpipes, and jigs. We have
observed that when good people think it
necessary to hang a man, the authority of the
Hebrew Scriptures is cited as unanswerable /;
but when it comes to dancing upon two feet
instead of dancing upon nothing, the example
of that great and good pOtentate, King David,
is held to be of no account. For we read that
he danced before the Ark q Chron., xy., 29)
and that Michal Saul's daughter, saw the
royal performer from her window, and "des-
"psed him in her heart,n although the holy
man was not only dancing beautifully, but
playing on the harp at the same time-a
duplex exhibition of skill of which
we believe no modern lmonarch to be
capable. But in spite of this, our
Reflector sees in ball to be given to the
Prince "social debauchery and national de-
"moralzation!" at which it "can but feel
"heart-sckened and grieved.'' Come come
is not this making rather too serious a matter
of little amusement which not very wicked
people have sometimes ventured to engage

journal to be laboring under an intense but
harmless monomana, We should despair of
the laud. For our Editorial jeremiah goes on

The Republicans of Brookline, Mass, are sharp
hands at a damnable Innuendo They resolved, the
other night that the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor should be man of unquestiOned integrity,
of unimpeached honor and of undoubted courage"
They further resolved that they would be perfectly
satisfied with the nomination either of Rice, jewell
Washburne, or Hoar Now, the point OF this is, that
they did not say word of Gen. Butler. They left
it to Others to draw their differences from this silence
and heater and more inoffensive way of expressing
a tolerably offensive opinion we do not remember
to have observed.

V A lively correspondent gives, this morning,
come account of the political situation in New
Jersey, and particularly of the prospects for
the Democratic nomination for the Governor
ship. Meanwhile we have a word to
say as to this same nomination in our
own party. We can carry New-Jersey
this Fall, if we will; but it cannot
be done by nominating any man whose hands
are in any way tainted, or popularity suspected
of being tainted, by doing the work of Erie.
The first business Republicans have in hand
is to send such candidates away from the
front.

Reports from the Texan and Mexican
frontier are not very encouraging for pros
pect of future peace and quiet. The Kicka-
DOCS as we heard some time ago, are con-
sidering if it be not for their advantage
TO return to the United States. The
Mexicans, by every possible means,
are keeping them back, in order to
carry on their thieving raids under
the color of Indian outrages," as the
manner of some of our own people is Des-
perate at this state of affairs, the Texans pro-
nose to organize retaliatory raids upon Mexi-
can territory, to recover their own property,
"a they put it. This will be sure TO precipi-
tate two nations into unpleasant compiled
tons; but it must be admitted that the Texans
have suffered great provocatioDs already.

The details of the steamboat disaster on
Chautauqua Lake, which are sent by TRIBUNE
correspondent, reveal just such state OF
affairs there as that which resulted in the late
ferry-boat explosion in New-York harbor' As
the number of passengers was small, the loss
of life was much less than that on the West
field But the causes of the explosion appear
TO have been pretty much the same IN ooth
cases. The engineer of the Chautauqua was
absent, and his place was filled by the hre-
man, who was not expected, of course, to know
niuch about the business thus thrust upon him.
The boiler blew up, killing six persons out
right and injuring eight others. As in the
WcstGcll case. there is ~ conflict OF testi-

mony as TO the amount Of steam in the boiler
at the time of the explosion. But the man
who was playing engineer did not know; he
said there was pressure of sixty pounds !;
another witness swears he saw the gauge-dial
mark seventy-five, and another says he saw it
indicate eighty-fvo pounds. The boiler burst
like bomb it was from Over-pressure of
steam. Precisely how much was that over
pressure nobody may ever know. But does

Apprehensions as to the rapid spread of the
cholera may be somewhat allayed by the in
telligence that the disease, so far as known,
is not of the Asiatic type, but the English,
which is less contagious as well as less viru-
lent. AT K0nigsberg, a day or two SINCE
there were sixty-two cases reported, of which
twenty-five proved fatal. This is not large
number of cases for city of $4,000 population,
Nor a large proportion of deaths to the num-
1er of attacks

Our law record shows curious relation of
facts in the suit brought by j. B. Cornell to
procure a writ of mandamus compelling Con-
troller Connolly to pay bill for iron work
put into the new Court HOuse-that famous
maelstrom which has swallowed so much iron,
marble, carpets, plaster, furniture, and goods
generally. Why Garvey got his money and
Cornell did not get his, is yet to be deter
mined.
