Now that the time of the seaside is over, and the
voice of the pleasurer is more heard on the noun
tains anxious maidens and willy mothers are reckon
ing. as s their won't the results of their campaign.
1t is not too much to say that the account is out
rageously unsatisfactory. For at all the Summer
loitering-places swOop they never so wisely, they
have found no manageable lambs wherewth to
deck the sacrifcial altar. From Maine to Virginia
the soft sex tins season hath made itself beautiful
in vain the young men of America have shown a
slyness a heartless indsposition to become deuded
victims" calculated to strike the strongest match
maker with dismay. 1t is not known in what desert
regions single gentlemen of good expectations have
madly buried themselves all Summer; but return
ing sad procession of unapproprated hearts and
unsuccessful gowns attests the feminine solitude
that has reigned at all the watering-places. The
German has languished for lack Of partners, and
those moonlit paths down which tender pairs have
erewhe strayed to matrimony have been wholly
deserted Meantime it is said that the single gen
tlemen have journeyed to and fro on bachelor joys
intent with a diabolical exultation in their souls
that deserves the most dreadful punishment.

We have received the following kindly and

ludlClOuS letter:
To the EditOr OF The Tribune.
SIR: report is in circulation in the interior OF this
State that Mr. Greeley is in favor Of introducing the
smallpox into the public schools ALSO that he was n
Confederate during the aud surrendered 20
Grant at Appomattox. These reports are doing Mr.
Greeley great damage with his old friends. and II not
dsproved will seriously affect his vote in the Western
counties. Yours, SENECA.
We thank our correspondent for his considerate
suggestion. But we think it not prudent to inter-
fere with the free course of the stories he mentions
If we contradict these, The Post and Times will
invent something so much worse that these crimes
will seem like virtues. On the whole we think it
best for Mr.. Greeley to compromise and plead guilty
ON Treason and SMALLPOX. Perhaps if he does this,
the Arcadian brothers referred to will refrain from
charging him with the murder of Mr. Nathan and
the burning Of the Aexandrian Library.

Serious trouble is evidently afOot for Pope
County, Arkansas. The murders by DodsOn
and HickOx, utterly unprovOked as they were,
were the cause of the murder of Hickox a
few days ago. There was no occasion to fear
that any further breach of the peace would
take place. But the Governor has, it appears,
been overbOrne either by Sheriff DOdson or by
the Clayton faction in Little Rock, and has
sent a small force to Pope County. Dodson
has Joined Gen. Upham with three companies,
and it needs little foresight to predict
what he will do when he finds himself in
position to pay of old grudges under the pro-
lection of martial law.

For people of an apprehensve and timorous turn
there is nothing more agitating than Statistics The
whole world has over and over again been ciphered
into starvation, combustion, depOpuation, and eX-
tinction. And now comes q Man of Figures, an En-
glishman, of course, who proves that within GER
tain period every other human being in England
and Wales will be lunatc or idiot! There
are at present in the kingdom and principahty
IS $40 persons of unsOund mind being an increase OF
1856 upon the cases recorded the LIST of January,
1871. The increase is greatest among paupers-a
class itself likely to increase The number of luna
tics and idiots has been steadily growing greater
since 1859, from which time the Commissioner
tables date and unfortunately the increase is not TO
be accounted for by reference to the increase OF
population. Well not to bother with figures, the
lamentable conclusion is that, at a certain period
moety of the inhabitants will be maniacs And
vet who believes this The historical experience OF
the world from Ammo Mundi to Ammo Domini, proves
such an enormous alteration of the intellect OF the
race. or of any given portion of it, to be improbable,
and we may even say impossible. The statistcians,
TO be sure are not to be refuted they simply to
be disbcieved as to their deductions for the reason
that the same effects do not always follow the same
causes.

The Board of Arbitration at Geneva appear
TO have virtually concluded their labors,
nothing now remaining TO be done except
some official dining and cOngratuatiOn, and
the final signing of papers. We do not pre-
tend to know what they have done. All that
has been announced is mere guesswOrk. The
last rumOr is that they have awarded to the
United States Damages to the amount of
Thirty Millions. But any one has a right to
select any other sum as the correct one. What
ever we may think of the way in which our
Government prepared for the arbitration, and
we have spoken somewhat definitely upon
that point, there can be no question
of the eminent discretion and dignity with
which the Arbitrators have done their work.
One signal proof of this is that, although the
sessions are ending, nobody knows as yet the
result of their labOrs. Let them at least have
credit for this in blabbing world.

The Grant orators ando organs have led the country
to believe that they regard the very weakest point
in Mr. Greeleys attitude before the nation to be
what they choose to call his Secession record IN tho
Winter of 1sGO-G II has never occurred to us that
the position Of Mr. Greeley at that time needed any
defense, and we have, therefore, never undertaken
any. But since the RenOmnatonists THINK IL
does we beg them to make it for themselves on &C
count of their candidate for Governor in this STATE
Gen. John A. DIX. In an address TO tho Democracy
of the Union delivered by the General ut the con-
vention and mass meeting of the Democracy opposed
to the Chicago platform held at the Cooper lnsti-
tute, New York Nov. /, 1864 and subsequently pub
lished as a campaign document by the War Demo
cratic State Committee of the State of New-fork,
we find that Gen. Dix went further in what the
Grant papers call the policy of Secession, in 1854 IN
the hight of tho war. than they had ever accused
Mr. Greeley of going before the war broke out. IL
anybody requires defense, in this matter, we beg to
suggest that Gen. Dix is the man, and commend
them to spend all the energies of their great minds
on the following sentence:
eff the Southern States after calm deliberat0n ana
after carefully considering all the consequences had
decided with the consent Of the Others, ana WIN u
recognition their responsibility 10 the Union, TO WIN
draw peaceaby from IT, there many OF US who would
have preferred separation To clVll war

A communication from Mr.. Simon Stevens.
President of the Tehuantepec Railroad Com
paDy, to the Canal Board of this State, an ex-
tract from which is elsewhere printed. suggests
as first step toward the solution of the prob
lem of steam on canals that the sides of the
canals should be pitched or faced with rough
quarried stones. Instances in Scotland are
cited where this method has attained great
success in securing the sides of the canal
against the destructive influences of steam
navigation. This system is to be applied to
the Tehusntepec Ship Canal, and Mr.. Stevens
suggests its desirability in the case of the
Erie Canal, to prevent the diversion of its
trade TO the Canadian water highways. The
chef delay upon the Erie Canal at present is,
however, as we have been informed, due to
the deficient accommodation of the locks and
until they are materially enlarged it is diff
