New YORK, July s-The campaign
against Mayor Havemeyer, growing ou
of a scandal caused by him reappoint
Ling the convicted Police Commissioners
has been so vigorously conducted that
at late hour last night he concluded
that discretion was the better part Of
valor, and surrendered. The designations
of the Objectionable commissioners,
Charlick and Gardner, were read
and accepted, and George W. Matsel,
Superintendent Of Police, and John r.
VOORHEES,, Excise Commissioner, were
appointed to fill the vacancies. Two
memorials viii be presented to the Gov
ernor to-day at his country seat, and
appeals will be made for the removal of
Mayor Havemeyer. One of these claims
that the action Of the Mayor in reap
pointing the convicted commissioners
was gross outrage upon public decency,
while the other emphasizes its illegality..

meyer, the Tribune says 1t will be ac-
cepted by thoughtful citizens as an
insult" The Times says; +" 1t would be
absurd to credit Mayor Havemeyer with
the slightest regard to the public
interest" The Herald says He has
only emphasized his offense and more
than proved his unftness for the Office
he now holds"
A letter giving an account of the eel
ebration of St. Johns day in Puerto
Principe, Cuba, says: The insurrec
ton is fast finishing what once existed
Of virtue 1t has worn down to threads
the fimsy texture Of social virtue, and,
except among few of the best educated
and most refined people, there is little
attempt made at even show of femi-
nine delieacy and modesty. Bands Of
young rollicking fellows will stop under
long grated windows and balconies and
sing the rudest songs with the most in
decorous illusions, and women and girls
will flock to windows laugh at and enjoy
it,

English subjects captured on board the

The Pittsburg Post says: " Disraeli
is opposed to home rule in Ireland and
wants the people united to meet the great
crisis of the world, which he predicts is
near at hand. How he expects to Sc
cure the support of Ireland and make
it available in this great crisis by con-
tinuing to deprive it of the right of local
self.government, he does not reveal.
There can be no crisis which can make
the condition of the people of that island
much worse. England's difficulty is
Ireland's opportunity"

THE CIVIL RIGHTS B111

There is an impression. We are aware
that the civil rights bill is dead and can.
not be revived. This is altogether a
mistake, aud the people should not for
get to make it an issue in the approach
ing Congressional elections. Tennessee
has three Democrats in Congress and
seven Republicans. This can be easily
reversed at the November election if the
Democrats and Conservatives viii have
the common sense to make nominations
and stick to them. David Num- was
elected only because he was the only
Republican running against twoor three
patriotic Democrats, none Of whom
could be ruled Of the track.
Such a mistake, we are assured,
will not occur this year in many Of the
districts. A Courier-Journal special in
alluding to the civil rights bill says it
lies on the table. The reason why it did
not mass at the last session Of Congress
WAS that it required a vote Of two-thirds
at the time the bill reached the House
Of Representatives, and two-thirds vote
could not be had. In the early part Of
the session it is competent at any time
after the morning hour to move to 90 to
the Speakers table; and 10 such case a

An Unfortnnate IsIand.

Some months sgo the little island Of
Nieeros, in the Grecian Archipelago. was
shaken By a series Of earthquakes which
did much damage and eliminated in the
bursting. of the highest peak on the is.
land and the discharge Of food Of
steam and boiling water. which threat
ened TO. inundate the whole island and
destroy every living thing on ito The
mountain, however, suddenly ceased Ia
boil over, and it was hoped for n time
there would be no recurrence Of the nm
pleasant phenomena. But the other
day, the mountain resumed its borrid
belchings, emitting such volumes Of
scalding water that existence on the
island has become almost intolerable
The ground is convulsea with eartb.
auakes, and the people have taken 10
the open fields. where they are safer than.
in their lettering hsmes. a scarcity Of
provisions is added to their troubles, and
without houses, without food, and a mon.
ster in view perpeiually pouring out
streams Of boiling water, menscing
them With horrible death, their condi-
ton is BY no means enviable.

THE report of the examiner that the
assets of the Freedmens Savings Bank
would yield ninety.three per cent. is not
sustained in the judgment of prudent
business men. These say that the ex.
penses of the bank will be going on for
three years, and no income coming in,
SO that the aforesaid ninety-three per
cent. will be very considerably reduced.
