WALL STREET yesterday exhibited signs of
unusual activity. For ten days past there
has been steady manifestation of strength,
which, being reported by letter and telegraph
to absentees at the watering places, produced
its results in outside orders that added to the
ordinary volume of Summer business. This
Summer speculation is essentially welcome,
although not unexpected. 1t is the sequence
of adroit combinations made by few, yet
based upon actual facts known to the market
which only awaited an assertion of responsible
paternity. This being given, the market be-
came Immediately responsive, encouraging and
full of promise. The excitement growing out
of the statement concerning the Pacific Mail
Company in the early hours of business was
very strong, but it subsequently yielded to
the speculative influences generated by the
general buoyancy of the market.

POLITICAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS.
JcH G. Davis for President-GOvernor
~ L-LIL Hendricks, Position.


The Indianapolis Journal trepubhcan-Senator
Morton's organ) learns that quiet movement Is
going on In democratic circles with view to
bring out General Jen @. Davis for the Presidency,
not Jen Davis, late President OF the Southern con-
iederacy, as might be supposed but Jefr y. Davis,
OF the regular army, and OF recent Modoc fame.
The movement has already gained consider
able head and Is particularly pleasing to those
democrats who are In favor Of complete
new departure and throwing themselves on the
mercy OF the people. BY the way, Governor
Hendricks Is strongly In favor Of the party turning
Its back on the past, but We are not informed
whether he iavors the candidacy Of Davis or not
Il Is barely possible the Governor thinks there IL
one man In the country OF superior claims whose
name modesty would forbid him 70 mention.
The ST. Louis Democrat says Mr.. Kasson, OF
Iowa, was not a back-pay stcaier. not having been
a member OF the last Congress. He was elected

ccssor, we believe. was Mr.. Palmer, who put hs

The BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS is about to
be robbed of one of its most ancient rights.
During long and nobly historic past it has
been the final court of appeal for Scotland
and Ireland as well as for England. For this
go-ahead age, however, the House of Lords is
found too slow, and bill is now before Par
lament and in hopeful progress having for
its object the establishment of Supreme
Legal Tribunal whose decisions shall be final
Should this bill pass into law the House of
Lords will cease to be the final court OF
appeal in the three kingdoms. The change is
needed, but such change must be regarded
as another blow at ancient and sristocratic
privileges In this case England is following
the example Of the United States

The Sanitary Condftisn or the city
Oar Latest OmcIaI Reports.

The Sanitary Condftfsn OF the city
Oar Latsa OmcI.I Reports.
The latest reports to the Sanitary Bureau Of
the condition Of the streets of this me-
tropolis will go far to confirm the pre-
vailing opinion that New York Ii the
most filthy city in the United States.
fow i'ems from tho report of the Sanitary
Superintendent Dr.. Day, Of the 18th inst,
will serve to justify this opinion. In whole
section Of streets collections Of stagnant
wafer, thrown from houses, are constantly
found" All the streets in the Five Points
district are ''ilthy with street dir, slops and
garbage" East of Second avenue all the
streets are represented as in the same con-
dition. Inspector ROBBERS, OF the Twenty first
ward reports his streets clean, excepting
Broadway alley, (which is very filthy" Upon
the whole, however, tn streets clean and now
kept clean ara far moro mum ,rous tran the
filthy Ones but these are so scattered over the
city as to be enough to infect the whole city in
case of an epidemic. DR.. Day says that
in thickly populated, il!-paved cobblestone
streets, where the inhabitants are entirely
indifferent to sanitary considerations and
throw their slops and garbage IN the cutters
right behind tho sweepers, there is need Of
daily cleaning. If SO, we have only to say,
let such streets be daily cleaned, but, at the
same time, enforce the Inv upon the inhabi-
tants.
But from poisonous sewers, cesspools, tene-
ments, sunken lots, filthy market places,
slaughter houses, bens boiling and other nui-
sances there is more TO be feared in regard to
the general health of the CITY than from the
offal, dirt and garbage Of the streets. We are
pleased to see that the Board of Health are
looking into these denominations with an eye
to the remedy, but we fear that the Summer
will be over before they CON announce that the
remedy hiss been applied to any considerable
extent Twenty-four inspections of all sorts
OF filthy places for one week is good report
from the inspectors, but the removal Of tho
various and numerous nuisances inspected is
the main question.
Meantime the general health of the city con-
tinues remarkably good. For instance, for
the two weeks ending July and July IL, of the
present year, our city mortality was, for the first
week, 683, and, for the second week, $50,
while for the corresponding two weeks Of last
year the deaths were, for the first week, 1851,
and, for the second, 1,022. This is an en-
couraging comparison but DR.. Harris says
that this Summer all the large cities Of the
United States continue to report moderate rate
Of mortality, and in the towns that have suffered
from the cholera in the Southwest tho saving
effect of sanitary duties performed has been
very marked. And so we should not forget in
our present comparative exemption from cpl
demic diseases that pestilence may be lurking
near and that Providence helps those who
help themselves.

Polsrls Expedition and
Potorlna ans Letter.

We print this morning the Judgment Of Dr.
Petermann, one Of the most eminent of
living geographers, on the results of the
Polaris expedition. The Doctor says ITO
me the geographical results OF the expe-
dition appear of extraordinary value. At
any rate they are the highest that any vessel,
among the numerous expeditions of all nations
to the North and South Poles, have ever &C
complished since many centuries" This is
strong language. Yet these words are from
DR.. PeterInann, written ir the editorial rooms
of the lMiHheiungea-th first authority on
geographical science We need not say that
we entirely concur with him in his fattering
but conscientious opinion, expressed with so
much honest enthusiasm. Nor is it necessary
to add that we commend that fine sentiment
Of the German savant when he writes
"Placed in similar position Ito that of HalD
the same thing has happened to me and my
friends in Germany, and it will always remain
thus as long as the civilized governments
of the world devote their millions to the in
crease of their armies and the scientific OBJ
jects only figure in the budget for the crumbs;
and as long as people, who are willing to add
to the little knowledge we have of our earth,
have to 60 begging for small contributions.
The judgment Of Dr.. Petermann, being the
first decided opinion given by fearless
geographer abroad, will revive scientific in
terest in the discoveries made by Captain 81 III
and his command; and as Americans we may
well ask, after this recognition, if we have not
largely benefited the world in fitting out the
Polaris expedition and now in hurrying to
the rescue of those captives still in their
Arctic bondage.
