THE meeting Of the anti Grant Republi>
cans, which was held at Cooper Institute. in
the city Of New York, a week ago last night,
was an immense affair, and is represented as
having been by far the largest political gath
sriug that has assembled in that city since
the close Of the war. The President Of the
meeting was f. A. Crnkling. a brother OF
Roscoe C0nkhug, a Radical United States
Senator from New York and Grants prin-
cipal henchman in that body. The meeting
was addressed by Senator Trumbull. of H.
linois. Senator Schurz. of Missouri. and Hor
nee Greeley. This meeting, so imposing in
. numbers and so determined in spirit. is the
fatal handwriting on the wall intended for
the sphinx who now sits in the White House

AFTER the almost numbsrless instances
oi usurpaeion of power by Congress during
the last seven years. any fresh demoustra-
tion in that lius would not be a matter of
much surprise. We can scarcely, however,
credit the statement which Of late has been
made in several papers. that it seriously
proposes to assume the prsrogaiivs of our
own State Legislature and pass a bill divid-
ing the State into Congressional districts
This may only be used as a threat to compel
Geary ts sign the Apportonmsnt bill passed
ny the Legislature, which he has said be
would not approve until after the October
election, and he did not know that be would
even do it then. Although such a power has
never been exercised by any Congress, and
although there is 10 shadow of warrant for
it in the constitution, yet if it were done
under the convenient and stereotyped plea
Of necessity, so accustomed has the radical
party become to uphold the acts of loyal
Congress that it's newspapers would at ouce

of its powers and uould defend it against all

good watch on his movements, and whenever
he came near falling the mare would grab
his coat Collar between her teeth and hold
him up. She did SO no less than a dozen
times. in the presshce of several interested
spectators. The drunken man fell down in
the street once, but no sooner had he done so
than tie animal grabbed the back of his coat, =,

the mare met an acquaintance of his. who
was also drunk. They engaged ia converse

a trial trip Of self f-prope11ing cars on the
street railroads was made, on Thursday last, in
New York City, which resulted successfully.
The trial Vas made on Blocker street, because
of its exceedingly tortuous nature, but the car
turned the curves and switches, crossed the in
tersecting streets, and ascendod the up grades
without any s1ackening of speed, and only
jumped the track once, where curve was more
than ordinarily abrupt, owing to the overcrowd-
ing Of the rear platform. The car which was
used was one of the Remington pattern. The car
is, in Ill respects, like one of the ordinary ones.
except that the boiler occupies the usual position
of the front door. The boiler is twenty inches
IN ndiameter, and four and one-half feet in height,
and Is go constructed ns to consume ill
the smoke which is produced after the
fire is once kindled. It is jacketed, felted. and
covered with Russia eheet-iron, and, outside Of
all, is overing Of ash lined with tin, SO that the
heat OF the boiler does not affect the car. There
are two cylinders Of twelye-inch stroke, one fiye
inches in diameter, and the other eight inches.
The engine is one of fve-ho1se power, which, in
an emergency, can be increased to twenty-horso
power for short time. This week a trial is to
be made of the Eangdon car, which has boiler
at both ends, SO that the car can go in either

SILK IN CALIFORNIA.

The California papors speak in very encour~
aging manner Of the condition and prospects Of
the silk industry in that State, and the Alta an
nounces that it has received an impetus, within 3
year, which promises the speedy erection Of fac
tories for the manufacture Of this material.
One such factory, on small scale, has already
been established, in San Francisco by three prac-
tical ailk manufacturers from Lyons, FRANCE,
which is the silk market Of the world. They
have tTo looms at work, one of which makes
taffetas and the other foulard silks They
express themselves as confident that
California possesses all the advantages
which the most sanguine could desire for the
manufacture Of silk, and that it will pay larger
profits than any other Investment. More than
940, ,000, 900 worth Of manufactured silks are
purchased annually in the United States, in ad-
dition to the commoner varieties produced here.
California also possesses great advantage in
being able to produce three crops year, while
France produces but two.

THE LAW OF NEW TRIALS.

In recent article under the above caption, We
raised the point that the errors for which appel
late Criminal Courts in this and other States
generally grant new trials are not Of q character
which raise any doubt in the minds Of the Court
as to the guilt Of the prisoner. We suggested
that F' it would greatly lessen the number Of re-
hearings in criminal cases if the Supreme Court.
in granting new trial, should be required by
statute to certify only that there we're errors,
but that, through them, practical injustice was
done to the prisoner, and that there is not in
the portion OF the evidence unaffected by
these errors, indubitable evidence Of the prison.

The Paris-Jou1ual, which some time since was
compelled By the Germans to omit the narration
Of the battle Of Jena, and comparison Of the
entry Of the French into Berlin with that OF tile
Prussians into Paris, has now been warned by
the French Government not to bring out 4
Girondist number, in which it proposed to print
biographies, with portraits, OF thoprincipal Giron

STEAMBOAT INSPECTIONS.

The report Of the Supervising Inspector Gem
eral Of the Steamboat Inspection Service has
been submitted to the Secretary Of the Treasury,
and an abstract Of it has already appeared in
the columns Of TIE TRIBUNE. The full report is
now before us, land is remarkable in two different
ways. First, it submits q tabulated statement
Of the losses Of life and property occasioned by
casualties during the year 187t from which it
appears that there have been 65 casualties,
$4,000, ,661 worth Of property destroyed, and 1868
lives lost, and then gives the leading facts con-
nected with the loss of the Oceanus, Bristol,
Bienvillo, Dean Richmond, Metis, and Missouri.
Second, with these gloomy facts before him,
the Steamboat Inspector fails to sug-
gest any practical plan by which casualties may
be avoided hereafter, but MOUTHS that, owing to
the failure to make exhaustive investigations,
much valuable information has been lost. It
seems to bo the theory Of the Steamboat Inspec-
tor md Of Ill other persons interested in steam
boats, that, Us soon as an Investigation is held,
then the responsibility ends, and that investiga-
tions arc instituted simply to elicit information
and afford experts an opportunity to air their sci
entidc knowledge. The travelling public, on the
other hand, believe that Investigations should
both supply remedies and enforce penalties
through the application Of the Law. 4 prompt
and thorough punishment Of incapacity or care
lessness would do more to prevent steamboat
than all the learned Investigations
which may be held for q century to come.

not had for long time. It would be hardly
creditable to it's well-known energy, enterprise,

The Sunday issue Of TEE TRIBUNE presented

III the way Of rebuilding the church edifces that
were destroyed by the fire. The record is one
