shape that they coul, not put it away from
them only at the bidding of a prejudice
greater than our estimate of their good
sense refuses to credit them with. Bust
ness has almost ceased to concern the pub
lie mind That he;.lthful flow OF trade
which is the life OF a great metropolis has
virtually ceased to circulate, and the people
have either remained n suspense at the
general storpage, or they have surrendered
themselves to the consideration OF events
that they sincerely desire to see brought to
an end. The community has felt a fever
that it Knew to be unhealthy, ;.nd vet has
not been able to discover a remedy for the
disease. The orderly working Of the politi-
cal system, upon which all prosperity de-
ponds. has halted at an obstacle without
precedent, for we doubt # ever there was
an occasion when IN entire Legislature was
brought to such an unseemly stand q,

owing to the extraordinary dereliction OF
a majority of the members Of one Of its
component branches. II the Senators who

as tie people elected them to do, all the

last seven days would have been avoided.

have organized last Monday a, easily as
they can organize next week, COR there are
but 50 many voters in each body, and
these votes could have been delivered
yesterday as well as they can be de}iy-
cred tomorrow; and their results would
have been the same at one time as they
will be at another. There was no q1lco-

THE HOT WEEK.

The sixth day of dreadful heat has passed
and still there is no substantial relief. The
"local storms" which the weather bureau
predicted for the Atlantic coast have wasted
their balm upon the sands of jersey or drifted
ont to sea and poured their refreshing waters
into the Atlantic The wind which blew over
the city Yesterday was as hot as the wind of
the desert. TIE roofs and pavements of suf-
fering New-York stll blaze in the angry sun.
\ million people pant for breath of cooling
air. Poisonous exhalatiOns rise from the fes-
tering streets. Cutters reek with fever
breeding stenches. Seventy persons dropped
dead from the heat in a single day, and the
bospitals are crowded with delinOus victims.
The night brings no rest, for it is as hot as
the dav. From the tenement quarters crowds
of balf-dressed men and women and children
hurry, when darkness comes on, to the
parks and open squares and the steps and
porticOes of public buildings In houses OF
the better class people toss all night sleepless
on their heated beds, or pass the midnight
hours at their windows longing for the cool
breeze which never comes, and fretting over
the oppression which is never relaxed. The
wretchedness is universal and to hundreds,
whose occupations expose them especially to
the influence of the sun, such day as yester-
day and Tuesday brings not merely suffering
but death.
II is at times like these that we see how
little our city has done to preserve the lives
and health of its poorer citizens, how few are
the breathing spaces in the crowded blocks of
houses. how foul are the streets and alleys
where the population is densest and the diff
Guilty of living most serious, how farcical are
the pretenses of street cleaning for which we
are taxed so many hundreds of thousands Of
dollars every year The principal thorough
fares and the quarters inhabited by the rich
and well-tO-do middle classes are dirty, though
they are no worse in all the meaner parts of
the city the atmosphere is literally sickenng.
Death at such times stalks through the streets
like pestilence, and the sunshine falls upon
us like a plague. We might do something to
check the mortality of these burning days.
The city might be cleaned-not merely swept
and scraped a little, but really cleaned. The
denominations of the tenements might be less
ened by a more vigorous sanitary supervision.
The hot pavements might be watered cOpi-
ously. The facilities for free bathing might
be greatly enlarged.
The great mortality however, of the last
few days is in a large measure tue result Of
individual impTudence. Perhaps majority Of
the cases reported as sunstroke might be justly
described as suicide The doors of the gin
shop are wide open day and night, and more
liquor was probably sold on Tuesday and
Wednesday than in four days of average Sum
mer temperature. 1t is precisely when the
danger of drinking becomes most serious that
New-York tribune., 1872-07-04
1.-THE GREAT QUARRELER."

Arkansas is frequently quoted as the best
possible illustration of the legitimate effect of
Executive medding in local politics. 1t can
better be cited as showing how easily the
Presidents keen attention is enlisted in a local
quarrel Mr.. Sumner called the President The
Great Quarreler." The epithet is well de-
served when we consider how much interest
.he feels in every petty dispute among political
friends, and how readily he takes sides. 1t
WAS noted of Lincoln's administration and
management of party affairs that he never
famed the flames of strife in the political
organization which elected him. With that
happy faculty for compromise which never
deserted him, he healed dissensions and
haImonized rivalries among leading politicians
where all reconciliation seemed hopeless.
How different the course of the Great Quar-
reler! Local feuds break out in Alabama,
Louisiana, or New-Y York. The President, be-
fore stoldly Indifferent to the politics of any
of those States, is all attention, and with
eager zeal throws himself into the fray,
collarng one of the combatants and helping
the other. With maladroitness which re-
minds one most of Mark Meddle in the play,
he enters into the whole business heart and
soul. Somebody must be beaten i'll the con-
test, and the whole available power of the
Federal Government is thrown into one side
of the scale. This looks like caprice; it is
certainly quarrelsomeness.
How this love Of meddling has brought con-
fusion dissenson and rupture into the Repub-
lican party of New-YOrk, everybody knows.
And 50 in State after State, where complaints
might have been hushed or pacifed, every
slight pretext for quarrel has been seized,
magnifed encouraged, and expanded until the
cloud no bigger than mans hand has been
made to cover a mighty space. What need
for instance, was there for the President to

sides. his domestic policy, 80 far "a he
had any. required the support of Ger
many in opposing the Papal assumption OF
Infallibility. The approach which he made
was only partially and temporarily successful.
The reactionary influences which were brought
to bear upon his master occasioned his retire
ment and, although no interruption of the
friendly relations with Germany occurred, tho
Ultramontane party acquired the asccndency.
The most powerful adherent of this party, if
not its chief was the Archduchcss Sophie,
mother of the Emperor Francis Joseph
When her death took place, about month
ago, the strongest reactionary influence over
the mind of the Emperor was Withdrawn.
However commendable may be the pretended
purpose of strengthening the friendly relations
between the Governments directly concerned
in the approaching conference, it is more than
probable that some ulteriOr design Is enter
tanned of devising the means of reaching such
desirable end. In speculating upon the sub
ject which will thus form the especial topic OF
discussion, several circumstances point to
the question of Papal Infallibility. 1t IS
stated that negotiations have been In progress
for an arrangement between Germany ana
Italy for a common course of conduct toward
the Pope, and that this arrangement was to
be cOnsummated by the visit to Berlin OF
Prince Humbert, the hereditary Prince of
Italy. The conflict which Prince Bismarck has
inaugurated with the Pope renders it neces-
sary to save his proceeding from the appearance
of a conflict of Protestant Government against
its Catholic subjects, that he should have the CO.
operation of some Catholic powers. Of these,
the most important from its direct relations
with the Pope, is Italy; and of little less i'm
portance is Austria. The result of the meet
ing in September may be an alliance OF
powers very different from the schemes of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT which are ordinarily the pur-
pose of such combinations.
