the customary light and interesting Summer
letters We have this year. as in former
years employed the best known and most
graceful writers in the country to chronicle
for THE TRIBUNE every phase OF the bright
Kaleidoscope presented by the ever-changing
tbrong of fashion and of travel, at the springs,
tbe seaside or the mountains. 1t will not be
denied. we suppose, that even in this descrlp-
ton of correspondence THE TRIBUNE mas Deen
easily in advance of all rivals. but NOT
content with this, we have published uurihg
this so-called "dead season." series oI
Summer letters, which for varied interest
and value have never been approached III
the columns of any daily paper. Not TO speak
of the labOrs of our Grange correspondent,
which form the only accurate source Oh III
formation attainable in the East In regard 10
the Farmers Movement, our sclentlhc letters
have been of q remarkable character. we
have recorded every step Of the progress OF
the Yellowstone Expedition; we have toi-
lowed the pilgrimage of the Yale College
Commission among the fossil wonders
of the West; we have pubilshed
graphic contributions to science rom
the Aleghanies, the Blue Ridge, the
Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada;
our correspondents have had clear field alike
in Penikese and the Sandwich Islands Inc
admirable letters on the deep-sea dredging
now in progress on the coast of Maine, under
tbe management of the United States FISH
Commission, the first of which we printed yes
terday, furnish the first information the puDhc
has received in relation to this important mat
ter. and are certainly of the highest interest
TO every one who has any intelligent curiosity
The most eminent names in American ut
erature and science have been associated IN
this fruitful Summers work. The success
which has attended it is its best justiflcatlon'
These letters have been read with unfagging
interest and we have received from every
hand the most grateful expressions OF appre-
citation. We have proved anew to our own
thorough satisfaction that those who puryey
for the intellectual wants of a public like that
composed of the readers of THE TRIBUNE run
no risk whatever of placing their standard
TOO high. We have filed our columns this
Summer with the best scientific work OF the
first minds in America, and it has been read
with far more eagerness than any equal
amount of social gossip or political abuse
| could possibly excite.

THE RIGHT KIND OF SUMNER READING.

There is no necessity whatever for what IL
called the silly season in journalism. In a
well organized newspaper, all its departments
are in as perfect running order at one time as
at another, and there is certainly no popular
demand for trash at any especial time. The
vast majority stay at home in the Summer as
well as in the Winter, and they are not SUBJ
iect to any mental or moral disease which
induces them to crave in August what they
would reject in December, And even the
crowds of Summer iders on every train and
at all the watering places would rather have
something readable than absolute inanity.
There is nothing in human nature which would
make ordinary men and women clamor during
the Summer months for accounts of mammoth
gooseberries, or Grant sea-serpents. Neither
would any considerable portion of the Ameri-
can reading public prefer the small title
tattle OF bar-rooms and piazzas, to worthier
matters of interest, if they could be allowed
their choice. The reading people of this coun-
try appreciate the best material which news
papers are able to furnish. We speak with
confidence in this matter, for during the past
season we have fully tested it.
We have not thought proper to suppress

ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR.. BUTLER
An attack by Mr.. S. C. Fay of South
borough. Mass, upon the stainless character
of the statesman who asks to be made Gov
ernOr of Massachusetts has evoked rasping
letter of the tn quOQue order from the latter,
the main points in which are given in dis
patch from Boston. The epistle is eminently
Butlerian. 1t would have been recognized
without the signature. But the Butler
STYLE of argument and repartee is getting
somewhat stale. If Mr.. Fay is vulnerable, and
the Essex statesman has found the joints IN
his harness, doubtless the neighbors OF that
gentleman will be amused with the reply
neighbors are always easy OF entertainment III
that way. But Mr. Butler does nothing more.
Indeed he rarely does anything more than turn
the laugh upon his opponent with keen
thrust or sharp repartee. Mr.. Fay's objections
to his candidacy remain unanswered. lie does
not even say he is temperance man in the
sense of abstaining from the habitual use of
intoxicating drinks. He does not deny that he
has made money, and a great deal OF 1t, III
way that his assailant deems corrupt and
dishonest. To that charge he only retorts,
Who told you SOP There is fling at Mr..
Hoar, which be is now getting quite dextrous
at. and good deal of beating about with in
situations which perhaps Mr.. Fay and Mr..
Fays neighbors may understand, but which
have no interest otherwise.
The only end gained by the publication 80
far in the canvass is that 1t brings Mr.. Butler
into the relation with the public he so much

FREE COAL.

OF all the plans yet preached for breaking
up the Anthracite Monopoly the admission OF
coal free of duty seems to us the most
ridiculous. Nevertheless we shall be glad to
see it tried Let the duty of seventy-five
cents per ton come off, Let Congress when it
meets promptly pass special bill for the
purpose, and let the act take effect immedi-
ately. The duty is not and never was pro-
tective one. If it ever gave incidental en-
cOuragement to coal mining the stimulus is no
longer needed. The bituminOus mines Access
sible from the seabOard have now more than
they can do to supply the home and foreign
demand, and the anthracite monopoly certainly
appears to be able to shift for itself. The
present duty is less than % per cent ad
vaOrem, which is only fair revenue tax on
imports. The total importation of coal, duty
free, will never exceed a million tons, and the
revenue to be sacrificed is lless than half
million dollars year-a mere trifle compared
with the salary grab.
These are no new views in THE TRIBUNE.
They were often expressed by Mr.. Greeley
himself, OF by the present editor with his full
approval. In an article, for example, from
Mr.. Greeley's own pen In THE TRIBUNE of Feb
ruary 49, 1871 Cat which time the public was
greatly excited over an impending scarcity of
fueD, it is justly observed that there are ex-
cellent and obvious reasons why our manufac-
turers should favor the admission of coal, free
of duty, as protective measure. He looked,
however, at the duty on cOal-then 81 % per
TOMAS matter of very slight consequence,
whether on or off. There may be in New
England a few manufacturing establish
ments which might burn Nova Scotia coal
instead of anthracite. A few gas companies
might also use little of it. A small
number of rich families in this city
might get their English camel coal ten per
cent cheaper. But the supply to be had from
Nova Scotia is very limited-probably less
than 100000 tons-and the revenue now derived
would have to be sacrificed or made up from
the taxes on other articles. Congress made
the Revenue Reformers happy by giving them
free tea and free coffee, which the said Rev
enue RefOrmers voted for almost to man.
Let them be made completely happy by free
coal. But, we assure the public, the anthracite
rhinocerOs will not be so injured. His thick
and muddy hide will never feel the bean which
issues with such fierce discharge of vapor
from the Free Trade popgun. Still, let us
have the sport. 1t will be instructive as well
as amusing, and will give zest to the tea
and coffee. THE TRIBUNE calls for Free Coal.

The Commissioners of Police of Brooklyn
have discharged their Chief, Mr.. Campbell,
but have done it in such hasty and unbusi-
nesslike manner that the important docu-
ments of his Office involving the Goodrich
case are likely to be lost or misplaced. Pos
sibly il the confusion the actual facts of that
affair which the Chief and Commissioners
have been at such pains to conceal may come

We hope the Commissioner of Public Works
and the Controller viii resist the payment OF
the Navarro water-meter claim until some use
can be made of the meters, or the extravaganza
price charged for them is reduced. The con-
tract for them was made with Mr.. Tweed, and
was one of the most transparent frauds OF
his administration.

When the thoughtful Swans who are now
in solemn convention at Portland, Me-, fixed
upon that lovely seaport as their place OF
meeting, they did not expect the distinguished
visitor who has been reported off the coast.
The Great Sea Serpent has been seen, not
from the masthead as in former years, but
from bridge on the solid land. 1t is
long time since this eminent nautical explorer
and great natural curiosity has been percepti-
Bile to the naked eye; it is much longer
time since he came near shore. His visit is de-
signed, doubtless, to SOW dissenson among the
scientific men of the Portland Convention !;
and, we regret to add, on the authority OF
our correspondent, whose letter is elsewhere
printed, that the Swans are divided in opinion
as to the credibility of the latest report OF the
Great Sea Serpent and his dOings.

Like all the other attempts to effect an ar
rangement between the two branches of the
French Bourbons this last one, when nearly
contaminated, is made abortive owing to the
obstinacy of the Count de Chambord-if we
may rely on the latest report by cable When
the Assembly comes together in November,
the majority will be obliged to meet renewed
demands for dissolution at time when it
can no longer be urged that the German occu-
patton renders such a step untimely. AS the
chief hope of the majority has been for such
a reconciliation, they are likely 10 be put To

The arrival Of the Mennonite immigrants at
this port, elsewhere noted, is a peculiar and
significant event. The immigrants are not
very numerous, it is true but they represent
a dissatisfied element of European society
seeking a congenial home. 1t is an immigra-
ton of men, women, and children who will
find in the New World moral and political
freedom denied them in the Old. AS a re-
ligious movement, this is curious and inter-
esting phenomenon.

1t was thought, ON the 14th of August, that
the storm which eliminated on that day was
passing away. But our reports show that the
"area of disturbance" to use the technical
iargon, remains almost unchanged. 1t is stu
threatening weather; and the long-contlnued
fall of rain has had a depressing effect
ON a great variety of interests. Inc
total rainfall must be very large, and,
as was the case with the storm
last week, it has been greatest in the Middle
Atlantic States. This time, however the gaze
has not been severe, and the damage from
that cause is not extensive. If the reader
seeks encouragement for belief in clearing
skies. we can only refer him to the oracular
utterances of the Weather Bureau-the only
source of information as to the aspect OF the
heavens

tion of the vile condition into which the
patent paved streets of the city have been
permitted TO fall. They have gone in most
instances whole year without repair; one
Winters frost has been permitted to uproOt the
wooden and to crack the concrete pavements,
and another Winter will probably find and
leave them in still worse condition. The
present appearance of large number of these
streets is fairly described in other columns.
The past responsibility for delay in repairing
them is divided, as we have clearly shown,
between the Board of Apportionment and the
Commissioner of Public Works. But the
respOnsibility--aud it is a sgrave one-for
future failure to repair these worthless pave
ments with the best stone or asphalt which
his Department approves must rest with the
Commissioner of Public Works.
