The ssBlack Sheep Among the Police.
We should not allow the fact that one police
man has been found unworthy to prejudice
the good name Of the force. It is next to i'm
possible that the Commissioners should know
afirmatively the honesty Of all their ap-
pointees. No doubt great care is exercised
in this matter. Judge Bosworth tells us that
certificate Of good character is required in
oil cases. Rogues may possibly assume virtue
long enough to earn the good opinion of some
citizen whose endorsement will pass with the
Board, yet, though thief should seek the
screen of the blue coat to cover schemes of
plunder, it would be most unjust to the nine
hundred and ninety-nine honest officers
should we reflect upon them for the crime of
the one 'black sheep in the thousand. Small
pay, excessive service and great temptations
are the characteristics of policeman's life.
He walks our streets under the driving snow
of Winter and in the sweltering heat Of Sum-
mer. Others can in some degree choose
their hours and seasons of duty--not he.
He must guard our property while we sleep;
guard it while we carelessly leave it unlocked
TO the risk of theft; guard 1t when the flames
attack it; guard it from gangs Of lawless row.

conspiring men. If he does his duty faithfully

The New TRIAL OF DIR. SCHoEPPE.
years ago DR.. Paul Schoeppe was accused Of
the murder of Miss Steinecke. Pennsyl-
vania fniled to bring his neck to the halter
then, and yesterday began the second trial, at
Carlisle. If criminal law rushes at such pre-
cipitate pace the world may perhaps some
day be startled by the newsboys cry,

A New CONCERT TROUPE Stnkosch,
the manager of the Nilsson Italian Opera Com
pany last season, has returned from Europe,
after making arrangements with the following
artists for concert tour in the United States,
commencing at Steinway Hall on September
16:-Nllle. Carlotta Patti, Mile. Teresa Carreno,
Miss Cary, NJ Lauret, Signor Deli Ponte and
Signor Mario. The last name is tower Of
strength in the musical world, and for nearly
quarter Of q century Mario has been the reign
ing favorite on the operatic boards both in
America and Europe. Mile. Patti has one OF
those exceptionally brilliant voices that can
produce pyrotcchnical effect in oil works Of
the bravura order, Miss Cary's success in the
Nilsson troupe was of the most pronounced
character, and Mile. Carreno may be remem-
bered as young pianist who created very
favorable impression here some years ago. It
will be seen, therefore. that this concert
troupe contains elements Of artistic strength
and popularity of high order, and that it
will prove valuable addition to the host Of
musical and drametic attractions marshalled
on the shores Of Manhattan for the Fall SEQ

CUBAN FNANcIERNo IN ENeLAND.-The
London journals yesterday evening an
nounced the prevalence of rumor, which was
then circulating in financial centres, to the
effect that Cuban insurrectionary agent had
arrived in the English metropolis duly CON-
missioned by the provisional government Of
the island to negotiate loan of twenty mil
lions of pounds sterling for its use. and that
if he is successful the amount will be rendered
by the patriot Cubans to Spain for the pur-
chase of the independence of the Gem of the
Antilles" The English writer's say that the
colonists have little hope that the ruling power
in Madrid will accept the money for such pur-
pose, but that they calculate the Cuban cause
will be made stronger among the foreign peo-
Piles by the tender of the cash. This is O very
equitable view of the case nothing like
doing, or even attempting to do. the fair
thing.

CHARLES O'CoNoR AND THE POLITICIANS
The politicians seem oil to be after Mr..
Charles OConor, seeking the use of his
name for their respective parties in the cam
paign A despatch from Albany states that
he is to be unanimously offered the demo-
cratic nomination for Governor, while re-
port from Chicago represents that he has
written letter endorsing the Louisville Con-
vention. The latter is nothing new. Mr.
OConor has already in the HERALD declared
himself opposed to both Grant and Greeley,
but he has also peremptorily declined, we un-
derstand, the Louisville nomination, prohibit
ing the use of his name by that free lance
Convention. He would certainly make good
nominee for the democracy and Greeleyites,
but how can they nominate Governor who
repudiates their Presidential candidate?

{ The GRAIN TRADE AND New YoRK.-We
call attention to an able article in another
part of the paper on the grain trade with New
York and other ports. The argument, sus-
tanned by official figures, showing the neces-
sity of increased and cheaper facilities for
transporting grain and other produce to the
commercial metropolis and for maintaining its
commercial supremacy, should not be lost
upon our merchants and capitalists. There is
no lack of capital and enterprise in New York
to make the needed improvements for this pur-
pose, and it is to be hoped prompt action will
be taken.

MILITARY AFFAIRS AND PUBLIC Morals IN
MEXICO. From Western Mexico we are told
that Diaz has disbanded his forces and
gone toward chihuahua. The news is
accompanied by the assertion that the
object of this movement is unknown.
The latter statement goes to prove that
the Mexicans seem scarcely to realize the
idea that an able-bodied man should at any
time during his existence here below tire of the
excitement of civil war, and also that they en-
tertain suspicion that Senor Diaz has not re-
tired to chihuahua exactly for the purpose of
saying his prayers. Kidnappers are at work
in the provinces, despite the recent summary
punishments by execution of their fellow con-
spirators against property and life in the capi-
tal The federal Governor of Sinaloa has been
carried off by the bandits. A vigorous national
government will, no doubt, succeed in ''work-
ing off, after the fashion of Dennis the Hang
man, the leading members of this great
Mexican Thuggee fraternity, and thus wiping
out one of the ugliest marks of the demorali-
zation which results from long continued inter-
necine strife.

the chances are but one in the many that his
fidelity will ever be known or acknowledged;
but should necessity and temptation with
favoring opportunity overcome his honesty, he
runs his risk with other thieves for detection,
and il caught there is no escape for him as for
many another felon. Take the criminal records
of New York for years past and they win show
that, number considered, very small per-
oentage Of policemen has been found dis
honest. They frequently give occasion for
discipline In other matters, but very rarely has
charge Of larceny been brought home to ono
OF them. How much more frequently in
similar number of other employees in places of
trust do we hear Of dishonesty? In pointof
fact the force is remarkably worthy of our con-
fidence and regard, and it is justly and
highly self-respecting.

Livingstone's American Friend-Gopd
Out OF EVIL.


Had the individual named Noe, from the
recesses of Long Island, allowed the desertion,
perjury and attempted murder he confesses to,
and the indignities offered him by sundry
Turks in Asia Minor, to remain in oblivion
the HERALD might not have had an oppor-
ing interview with merchant of this city,
which will be found In another column.
This gentleman, an intimate friend of
Doctor Livingstone, was moved to extend
what information he possessed about the
explorer because the verify Of the HERALD's
search for his friend had been doubted
in manner so unseemly. Furnishing as it
does unimpeachable corroboration of our COR
respondents narrative, SO far as a thorough
knowledge of the man he describes can do 1t,
much will also be found to fill in for the
people the mind-picture of one of the peoples
heroes During the interval between Doctor
Livingstone's arrival at Bombay and his de-
parture for Africa in 1866 he spent the greater
part Of the time under the hospitable roof-tree
OF this American gentleman. The letters
which, through his courtesy, we are enabled to
publish to-day, furnish some useful links as to
how DR.. Livingstone's time was spent at
Zanzibar, before starting for the Rovuma.
From their colloquial and intimate tone will
also be learned in what estimation he held
Mr.. Stearns, and how fitted the latter is to
speak of Livingstone, whether as to chirog-
raphy, bent of character or mode of express

great sympathetic heart turned to the country
which went through torrent of blood and fire
to free the slave and assert the rights Of man.
Bitter, indeed, were the ways through which
he came to this love. He had seen side Of
slavery which we only heard of as people,
although willing to benefit materially by
its results The flaming villages and
the murdered warriors, the shackled captives
and the fleeing remnants of the tribes, who
shuddered before the white man as curse,
were the red horrors that scared his soul into
detestation Of traffic in human flesh as they
formed the dark Nemesis that exacted here the
terrible justice of blood for blood. He recog-
nized the glory to mankind of the struggle,
and, as an earnest, sent his eldest son from
Cape Town as sailor before the mast

The President OF Costa Rica and tn
Nicaragua Ship Canal. -,

Vne Ffes10ent OF COSTA kG1ca ana t00
Nicaragua Ship Canal.
A report comes from Washington that
President Guardia, of Costa Rica, who is ON
his way to Europe, goes there for the purpose
of raising capital to make the Nicaragua Intsr-
oceanic Canal While we would rather see
this great work accomplished by American
capital and enterprise, we must wish him
success in his mission. Wherever the means
come from the project is grand one. and for
the benefit of the whole commercial world.
To no country would this interoceanic canal
be of as much benefit as to the United States.
It ought to be under the protection and guar
antee of oil the great commercial nations, and
the business, after securing fair return for
the capital invested, should be regulated by
treaty signed by these nations. Nature seems
to have made the waters of Nicaragua for this
grand work. The San Juan River and the
easily excavated alluvial soil along that river,
with Lake Nicaragua and the short distance
from this fine body of water to the Pacific,
form the best route, probably, for ship
canal that can be found in Central America.
If President Guardia is going on the mission
reported we hope he may be successful.

GENERAL BANKS ON THE MAIN Question:
In his late speech for Greeley and Brown at
Lynn, Mass, General Banks expressed the
opinion that ''the administration party, with
its leaders and its organization, will be de-
stroyed by this canvass, and that new party
of wiser and better men will be installed in
their places: that this will happen even
though General Grant may be reelected; that
he can never re-establish the power of that
party of which he is the head, because the
people of all parties and all sections are wise
enough to recognize the errors of the past,
and come together to remove them and the
consequences to themselves and the country.
In other words, General Banks holds the
opinion that, whether General Grant is de-
feated or elected, the corruptions of the party
in power will be checked by the pressure of
public opinion upon Congress and the ad.
ministration, and that the administration
party, as now organized, will be broken up
and dispersed. Nor do we think that he is
very wide Of the mark in this opinion, mas
much as the disintegration of the republican
party has already commenced.
