The Late Lake Disasters and Tclc
graphic Mismanagcmcnt.

The late multiplied disasters to lake naviga-
ton are among the most serious that have
been recorded for some time. On the night
of the 28th ultimo four vessels were sunk, .
propeller and many RATS and scows went
ashore on Lake Erie, and numerous vessels
out of reach Of assistance were flying their
signals of distress The intelligence of the
30th ultimo showed fatal casualties to fourteen
large vessels on Lake Erie and the total
destruction of numerous smaller craft and
barges, with considerable loss of life. But the
kilograms of the 1st instant prove that there
was much greater loss of life and property on
Lake Huron than on Lake Erie. Several
steamers were overwhelmed in the gale, and
the waters of the lake must have presented q
fearful spectacle of wrecks The probability
is we have not yet heard the worst.
1t is certainly q matter of surprise that
shipmasters, in the equinoctial season, should
be so reckless of life as to be so exposed when
these lake tempests come on in their we'll
known punctuality and fury. The government
weather kilograms cover the main parts of the
lake region and have not failed to give timely
warning of impending danger, and have fire.
quently announced these gales thirty-six hours
in advance of their arrival.
The approach of the late storm was duly
forewarned, and cautionary signals were Or
dered to be displayed at Buffalo, Cleveland,
Toledo, Detroit, Chicago, Grand Haven, Mil
waukee Oswego and Rochester many hours
before the storm reached these places. The
orders for Milwaukee and Grand Haven did not
reach their destination, it is said, through the
negligence Of the telegraph company entrusted
with their transmission-a criminal emission,
for which the company should be held re-
sponsible by the public who sustained damage
from their neglect There can be no doubt
that shippers and seamen on the lakes would
gladly avail themselves of the meteorological
forecasts if furnished promptly by the tele-
graph companies, and, if the latter know their
own interests, they will do well to spare no
pains to traasiAit these storm warnings win
the utmost possible despatch. The American
public have endured until their patience Is ex-
hausted the ineficiency of our telegraph COR
porations. These overgrown monopolies can
not expect the people quietly to submit to
mismanagement which entails not only vast
loss Of property but also involves, as in the
present instance, great loss Of life.

Since the days of the lamented General
jackson the occupants of the White House
have had q taste for indulging in Indian
shows. The object first proposed was, no
doubt, q good one, as it was hoped by show
ing the braves the wealth and resources Of the
the white man poor Lo would be induced to
abandon the custom of adorning himself
with the scalps Of white, settlers Whatever!
hopes on this point may have been indulged
in at first, time, we regret to say has proved
them to be utterly Alusory. The noble saw
ages were very willing to be fsted and whis-.
keyed and powwowed, if at the end
Of the tiresome ceremonies they wera
supplied with brand-new rifles and SUI
perior tomahawks, which would be turned
against the unfortunate frontiersmen on the
first favorable opportunity. This burlesque
has absolutely been gone through time after
time with On unpleasant and unpromising
sameness of result Latterly it has been car
ried to such an extent that it has become
nuisance. If it is to be continued we hope
that the system of making these cunning and
bloodthirsty savages presents Of arms, that arc
certain to be one day used for the slaughter Of
the frontier population, will soon be brought
to an abrupt end. Good Indians ought not to
want guns, and bad ones should only be-
served with plenty Of bullets. As practi-
cal illustration Of the dignity of labor.
we would suggest to the Washington
authorities the desirability of making each
brave present Of good spade. he maDht
receive hint at the same time that Ne shcas4
require him to prove his civilization and losscf
order by using it. Until he has acquired =
proficiency with this arm Of peaceful warfare
we shall be willing to feed him, but if b viii
insist on being vagrant and a nuisance we
shall be compelled to put him under arrest or
where the labor question will trouble him no
more. This is what ought to be impressed ON
the minds of the Indians by the Great Father,
and in the end it would have more effect than
the powwowing at present indulged in, which
leaves matters very much as they were before
and fails to give peace or security to the
frontier.

The gold market advanced to 1154 yesterday
on the news that the Bank Of England had
raised the discount rate to five per cent This
procedure was wholly unexpected in Wall
street, and, an explanation being sought, the
conclusion was reached that England had be-
come alarmed at the nature Of her trade and
financial relations with this country, and had
advanced the rate to prevent threatened
movement Of specie in this direction. While
watching Germany all Summer to forestall the
cashing of the drafts given upon London by
France in payment Of the indemnity, she gave
no heed to the efiux Of capital to this country.
and has only lately perceived that with our
enormous exports Of wheat and cotton this
Winter and the reduction of our imports to
their usual Winter standard the rates for ster4
ling exchange must speedily cause flow Of
specie hither-a reversal of the direction Of ths
specie current, which she must stop at all
hazards. Hence the first application of the screw
on the money market yesterday. The emigra-
ton of capital Is only natural sequence OF the
long emigration Of labor to America, and fol-
lows it as naturally as water seeks its level
The present relations of the United States and
Europe in these matters are very interesting
and worthy Of profound study.

the Tennessee Congressional Duels
In another part Of to-day's HERALD we pro.
sent our readers with graphic pen picture Of
the contestants in Tennessee for the positioa
OF Congressman at Large In trio of inter-
views the renowned triplet are held up to ad-
mirauon. 1t cannot be urged that Andrew
johnson is an unfamiliar character, but he ha6
not been heard from with great frequency
during the past three years, and il will be in
teresting to learn, now that he has broken tha
shell of silence, that he bangs and thwacki
away as lively as ever at his foes, and finds tina
old-time consolation In regarding himself ~
the one wholesome individuality in the entirs
world He can still perform as many tricks
with the constitution as Herman could with =
ladys watch-i. e., hammer it to pieces, pull
out its works, burn it, scatter the ashes and
then take it out Of the vest pocket of the rival
conjuror in q restored state. It is pleasant to
know that he has lost none of his dexterity
and none of the force of stinging personality
with which he was wont to accompany his
well-known feats Of political legerdemain. Be-
side this sledge-hammer fighter we see tho
smiling, dletante face Of Maynard, who seeks
negro votes in one sentence and prophecies
their extinction in the next. This gentleman
acts on the pleasant policy of Louis XII. Of
France, who saw no necessity for honesty
while he was King, and replied to appeals for
reform with shrug of contempt, remarking.
'The monarchy will last my time" The
niger vote will last his time, he thinks, and the
carpet-baggers of futurity must take care Of
themselves. But Louis XII. is despised for his
selfshness, and, as events move faster now,
Maynard may share that fate before he dies,
even at the hands of ssthe inferior race whom
he cajoles and scorns. OF the bluff Confede-
rate soldier, frank Cheatham, the Convention
democratic candidate with rebel record,
which he honestly believes to be without q
blot, we can only soy that he is an odd con-
trast to his able opponents. His strength, he
thinks, is very great, but he cannot hope for
thorough and hearty support from even hia
own party while there is such decidedly dis
t,lrbing influence as Andy johnson kicking
vigorously around. Taken altogether, the his
tory Of this old fashioned three -cornered stump
duel in staid old Tennessee will be found to
present as many humorous and suggestive
points of interest as any other State canvass in
this great national campaign Of side-splitting
oddities.

All who had the great pleasure OF seeing
Pauline Lucca as Marguerite in the opera Of
''Faust" on Wednesday night will long
remember that extraordinary performance. 1t
has been well said that the impression left
upon the mind by the highest works of art is
joy forever, and Lucca's delineation of the
beautiful creation of Goethe as adapted by
from the memory. We make no comparisons,
invidious or otherwise, between the art Of
Lucca in this representation and that Of other
prime donne. Several have afforded the
public much qualification in their per-
formance of the character of Marguerite,
and though differing in the conception
of it and in style of acting and sing
ing have had their excellences, but Lucca
gives us the poets idea. The acting
and the singing were in perfect accord and
were really superb. The vast and critical
audience was thrilled with delight. There has
never been any performance in the Academy of
Music, or in opera at any time in this country,
superior to that of Lucca on Wednesday night
Indeed, we remember nothing equal to it. We
can now understand the enthusiasm ocsthe
Berlin, st. Petersburg and London audiences
over this charming prima donna. We do not
know which to admire most, her clear, full,
rich, and, as the Berlnese call it, velvet voice.
used with consummate skill, or the unsur-
passed dramatic power of her action. How
ever opinions may differ as to the most agree
able representation of MarOuerita nona cao
deny the SURPRISING excellence of Lucca's per-
sonation Of it in accordance with the poet 8
idea end oil must accord to her the highest
merit, both as singer and actress. This was
evidently the verdict of the audience at the
Academy Of Music and will be Of the Ameri-
can public everywhere.

tion-itis evident that the effect of Wednesdays
work will solidify the Greeley party throughout
the entire South. 1t will induce the faint
hearted or the indifferent to come into the
campaign with greater certainty that their
labors will not be thrown away. It will ami
mate the spirits of the contestants on that side
in the three great Middle States and vivify
once more the energies of those who will
have to wait until the first Tuesday in November
before taking part in the war on the admins
tration. It is fortunate in every way that this
should be the state of public feeling as the
sun rises which is to witness the de-
cision of Tuesday next. Were it other
wise the liberals would have gone in
heavily weighted and depressed, and
the result would scarcely have been reached
on its actual merits. In such close State as
Indiana, for instance, the pressure of outside
opinion might SO dishearten the element which,
by its indecision, really holds the State in
its hands that Hendricks might have been
defeated on the merits of the Maine election
AS it is, the equilibrium is restored, and
what should be dear to oil lovers Of fair play
namely, fair fight, will take place. The in
creased majority in Georgia will, as the latest
coup in the campaign, doubtless tend to turn
the balance of enthusiasm in favor Of the lib
erals. who, in the face of their powerful and
resolute opponents will need oil they can
muster. So the fight goes on.

effect of such a course would be to defeat re-
form altogether. Reform is not q work for any
one political party. The past has proved that
in this city it is the work of the people. Bad
men were hurled from power because the
people willed it. Good men will be elected to
Office because the people are determined to
have only good men. The people are urgently
in favor Of Mr. Duncan, and the politicians
who oppose him will themselves feel the
rebuke of the people. The work Of reform
must not be stopped for any paltry or
partisan reason, and the views of many Of our
leading citizens as they are read this morning
will convince the doubters and those who seek
to put obstacles In the way of an honest
administration of the city government that
every effort of that nature will prove futile.
Reform has triumphed in New York, and
William Butler Duncan is the candidate Of
the true reformers. His election is not only
assured but demanded. The people want him
because he is able and honest and identified
with oil the great interests of the municipality.
They know that be not only sympathized with
but contributed largely to the reform move
ment last year, and the determination to make
him the next Mayor of New York Is only the
embodiment Of the popular desire for the
permanent success Of oil that was good in that
movement. There must be no step backward,
and in his election the metropolis is assured
that there shall be no backward step, at the
same time that the Empire City Of America
will have reason To bA nroud of the hiQli

the beginning. 1t was concluded among the
friends Of the STRIPPING that his foremost BAN
ner-bearer should go forth and do combat
among the States where the Young Liberal
would have his greatest fight. So Greeley
went forth, as his Merlin, and by the weight
of his name and his sturdy blows that smote
the enemy often twenty times day, through
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana, made good
impression in the Liberals favor. Mr.
Greeley proclaimed him the true Arthur, and
the shout against him as Ginx's Baby became
sensibly fainter. The young man, however
was not allowed to rest, for far down South
the enemy was waiting to be beaten in Geor-
gia. With no uncertain effect did he strike
there, as the election returns show with the
list of the radical dead and wounded So the
revulsion has set in, and the cry is once more
rolling back that he is not Ginxs s Baby, but
Arthur, after oil.
All this, although it rehablitates him, is
not enough. 1t certainly restores him with its
rehuence to the higher water mark, which he
touched after his adoption at Baltimore and
sends him into the three battles Of next Tuesday
with an increased prestige and better morale
than he owned after his tribulatons in Maine
There, indeed, will he find foemen worthy Of
his steel There will it be decided whether his
banner is t'-at of the king or merely the pla-
card of the founding; whether, in fine, he is
the Arthur of the nation or the surplus baby
Of political Ginx.

HIS ExcELIENcr THE MINISTER OF THE

Hrs ExCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF THE
INTERIoR sailed for Maui on the Kilauea on
Monday last. The object of his visit to
that Island IS to look after the cases of
small pox there and te see that measures
are taken to check its spread as has been
done on the Island of Oahu. Some idea
of the efficacy of the measures taken here
by the Board Of Health can be had by
comparing the ravages of the disease dur
ing corresponding time after its appear
ance in 1858 with 1872. In 1853 within
two months and half after the appear
ance of the disease over thousand cases
had occurred in Honolulu and people had
stopped counting the number of deaths.
In 1872, during the same time, THIRTY
TWO cases only have appeared out of
which ten deaths have occurred. OF
course, no one should, for a moment, en-
tertain the idea that the prompt action of
the Board of Health has had any effect to
confne the disease within such narrow
limits. On the contrary 1t is the duty of
every good citizen TO growl and find
fault, because it is much better 10 have
the small pox or any other epidemic dis
ease than to have people in authority who
know how TO check them and have the
courage to do It.
