Tho Missing Girl.

Six weeks ago Catharine McGuirk, tall girl
Of thirteen years, bright and interesting in
appearance, disappeared at Castle Garden,
since which she has been vainly sought by
sorrowing parents. She had been taken, two
days BEFORE from the Office, to live in family
at Eleventh avenue and Forty-ninth street, but
for some unexplained reason was returned.
The lady who had taken her went to the depot
with her and reported her return to the
matron, who, being occupied as it is said,
with other duties, neglected to see the child.
Catharine is supposed to have repaired to the
portion of the building where she had last seen
her parents who in the meanwhile had left the
depot and when inquired for she could not be
found. Suspicious are entertained that she
has been inveigled away by some wretch for
purposes of infamy too base to be named with
out exciting the deepest indignation and
shame. If such should prove to be the calam-
ity which has befallen this child, her family,
who sought in America refuge where lib
real laws and Christian charity would secure
happy home, have right to complain Of
culpable carelessness in the management at
Suoue OstIueu' OledIiy VIC u1duOA SuOuil
have seen the child when she was brought
back to her custody. To secure and protect
her from harm was the first duty of one to
whom the Commissioners of Emigration en-
trust delicate responsibilities. A search has
been set on foot by the police, who will
strictly attempt the discovery of the missing
child Swift and severe punishment WILL
doubtless, await the degraded culprit, if it
shall be found that Catharine has been stolen
to become recruit in the ranks Of crime.
Possibly, however, she may yet be found un-
harmed. Childish curiosity may have carried
her away from the depot without the interven-
ton. Of any such diabolical fiendishness as is
feared, and it may be discovered that she is
safe though lost to those who seek her. All
will sympathize with the bereaved parents
and hope for joyful termination to their sad
suspense

Of culture exerts on the material resources of a
country is too frequently overlooked by those
not conversant with the subject If our
people would pause and calculate how much
annual tribute we pay to the art culture of
Europe they would see that money expended
in encouraging arts that seem at first sight
of no practical use is not thrown away but
exerts direct influence on the development of
oil manufactures So clearly has this been
recognized in Europe that efforts to extend art
education to the masses are being made with
considerable success. Indeed, it is now ac-
knowledged that no people can hope in future
to take high place in the industrial competi-
tions of the world who do not enjoy the ad-
vantage of art culture. Massachusetts has also
recognized the force of this reasoning, and is
hard at work endeavoring to introduce art in
struction into all her public schools. Itwould
be well for us to follow the good example. We
look forward to the completion Of the Art
Museum with anxiety, because we believe it
will exercise healthy influence, and hope the
work will be pushed on vigorously.

TELEGRAM TO THE new YORK HERALD.

The following special despatch has been
received from our correspondent at Matamo-
ras:-
MArAMoRos, Mexico, August /, 1872.
General Rocha telegraphs from Monterey
that President Lerdo de Tejada issued on the
9th a proclamation of general amnesty, par
doning oil revolutionists and malcontents
under arms against the government, and q
convocation for an election for President.
The United States Commission met to-day.
The following facts were elected as to Mexican
administration of frontier affairs Cortina
was sent to the Rio Grande with full power,
and the civil authorities were powerless under
him. Palacios, the military commander at
Matamoros, acknowledged last year the fact of
serious depredations, but was overridden by
Cortina. Juarez was fully aware of the studied
misconduct of Cortina, and of his feeding his
troops on stolen beef; taking stolen herds from
civil authorities without accountability. Seven

applied to school funds of the Mexican govern
ment. Civil law was mere farce
Cortina's regular soldiers were receiving cattle
on the Mexican side, and organized agents of
Cortina were driving cattle to the bank, there
to receive the assistance of the soldiers in
crossing. Eighty miles Of a rich frontier is
vacant under the scourge of the Kickapoos.
Texan rancheros are obliged to fortify and
barricade. Well known brands of cattle were
and are sent into the interior and others sold
openly in Camargo. Cortina himself has been
seen in the corral receiving stolen herds and
selling the hides and beef and pocketing the
money. Cortina became suddenly rich by
the robbery of several we'll stocked ranches.
He has now 100000 deposited in England.
Full copies of the official reports were
in Juarezs possession, including the
acknowledgment of General Palacios of the
disgraceful implication of agents Of the
Mexican government.

The Dock Commissioners and Comp

The Dock Commissioners and Comp
tr0ller Green.
The opposition which the Comptroller has
seen fit to offer to the scheme of piers and bulk
heads suggested by the Dock Commissioners
has been successfully dealt with. The vote of
million dollars to carry on the muoh-desired
improvement will meet the approval of every
citizen having the interests of the city at heart
Not alone will the erection Of the line of quays
and bulkheads be source of beauty, but In
the not far distant future source Of profit
also. Even if this were not so the money
would be well expended in ridding the city of
the ragged, repulsive-looking structures that
at present disfgure the river fronts of our city.
In the shadow of these dark piles the river
pirate finds refuge that the new improve
ment will deprive him of. The result will be
a marked diminution Of the records of crime,
and we shall have fewer river mysteries to
clear up. The magnificent river boulevards,
which the Commissioners promise us, will not
only improve our morals but our health, as
they will afford delightful promenade within
reach Of the tired toilers of the city. From
every point Of view the proposed works
are necessary and desirable, and we
hope the Dock Commissioners will not pause
ON instant in their labors until they have trans
formed the whole'rive front as they have the
neighborhood Of the Battery. Such improve
ments are worth any reasonable outlay, and
even the grumblers have not attempted to
show that the work already done has cost too
much. Besides, the drain on our resources is
by no means in proportion to the good effected,
as we only pay the interest Of the money
raised, while we have the advantage Of afford
ing constant employment to large number Of
the working classes. Nothing serves to ad-
vance the interest Of great commercial COM
munity more than the wise development Of
useful public works, and certainly there is no
department of the public service more closely
wound up in the well being and progress Of
the city than the Department Of Docks.

The RACE FOR THE GooDwooD Cur
The grand event Of the English turf, the
race for the Goodwood Cup came off over the
usual course yesterday. The prize was won
by the horse Favonius, in good time, from four
competitors after very exciting struggle,
which was maintained with great degree of
animation just previous to the close. The
victor was received with plaudits, as is most
generally the case after the issue Of contests
which have been doubtful in the balance for a
season, and his rider and owner had an ova-
Eon, which was rendered still more agreeable
by the concomitant receipt of very substantial
recompenses. The scene, from the opening of
the day to the closing of the sport, is described
at great length in the HERALD special cable
report which is published in our columns. 1t
was a brilliant scene, one in every way
worthy of the transatlantic setting which we
accord to it.

Marrow Escape OF Prime Minister Glad
stone from Fearful Death.

stone from a Fearful Death.
A cable despatch, which we print this morn
ing, informs us that yesterday afternoon Mr..
Gladstone the Prime Minister of Great Brit
ain, very narrowly escaped with his life. The
circumstances were as follows: Mr.. Gladstone
and MIR. Ayrton, Chief Commissioner of Pub
lie Works, were witnessing with others, GER
tain experiments with gun cotton in the gar
dens attached to the Treasury building. Sud-
denly, and without any warning, quantity of
that material exploded. The report is de-
scribed as being terrific. The widest con-
fusion prevailed, and for time the gravest
fears were entertained regarding the safety of
the Prime Minister and the Chief Commits
sioner of Public Works. Happily, when the
smoke passed away, it was found that no one
was injured. One hundred windows in the
Treasury building were broken; but this wns
all the damage which was done. It might
have been far otherwise. The loss of Mr..
Gladstone would have been serious loss to
the British empire at this particular juncture.
He has done his country already many and
most important services. But his work Is not
done, nor is he sick of public duty. We con-
gratulate the people of Great Britain that the
life of their greatest living statesman has been
spared to them; and to Mr.. Gladstone himself
we express our warmest congratulations that
he has so happily escaped sudden and pain-
full death.

The STRATEGY OF DUTCH HEINRIcrIs. This
noted individual, as he asserts, though wholly
guiltless, was the victim of circumstances to
such q sad extent as to be convicted of an un-
authorized operation in Wall street which the
law classes as felony. City Judge Bedford, who
could not appreciate the spotless purity of the
prisoner sent him to serve the State in Sing
Sing. But innocence is brave. Heinrichs
bore up under his misfortune and went up the
river with the Sheriff smiling, though incom-
,moded with steel bracelets. But the realities
of prison life were too much for a mind Of
such delicate sensibilities. Heinrichs was soon
reported as insane he forgot how to eat, was
altogether maniac and likely to die. Yester-
day the method of his madness developed.
He sprang upon horse and bid galloping
adieu TO the attractions of Sing Sing. His
horse was shot and the crazy man captured.
He is not likely soon to have the second
chance for equestrian exercise.
FATALITIES BY FALLING. Yesterdays
HERALD, in its 'Work of the Coroners," had
list of seven deaths, all the result of falls from
roofs and windows and down stairways.
Strange that SO many people should thus lose
their lives through disregard of that law of
nature which first forces itself upon the notice
of infancy. 1t proves that, though man has
sought out many inventions for overcoming
gravity, still that great force by which, as Sir
Isaac Newton demonstrated, the universe is
governed in the harmonious movements of its
infinite systems, exacts its penalty with even
greater promptness than New York law

men, one boy and two women. ALI of them

F, they fell, '1ikc leaves in wintry weather"
making windfan for the Coroners and labor

regard of gravity becomes grave matter re-
Quiring seven graves from the city. Like
most summer mishaps, these casualties are
mainly attributable to the heat, which in
duces our crowded citizens to seek cool air in
windows and on roofs in spite of danger from
toosened bricks or rotting ratings. Moral by

whether State with ON average republican
majority of fifteen thousand has really arrayed
itself on the side of his opponents.
It is possible that all is not yet lost, but that
the large negro counties may after all give
North Carolina to the republicans. II will be
of little value to them now, for the people
will feel that it is black victory, due to igno-
rance and prejudice and not to reason, and
won, it may be, by fraud and not by legiti-
mate vote. Yet it will leave plank to float
on, and will not cast the republican cause
helplessly into the waves Of despair. In such
an event, will President Grant remain deaf to
the voice Of reason, or will he adopt the
bold policy we have so frequently commended
to him-cast off the men by whom he is being
dragged down to political ruin, and stand
once more before the people on his own
merits as soldier and man? He may yet
