RACES.
Second Day OF the Indianapolis Race
MeetfnR-CiOse and Exciting
Contest.

INDIANAPOLIS, July S.-The second
day Of the Indianapolis race-meeting
was well attended and the races close
and exciting. Two trots and one pace
was the programme for to-day. The
first called was the 2:28 class. Summa-
ry: Purse, fifteen hundred dollars, three
best in i've, 10 harness. Kansas Chief,
8, Al, J., /; Tom Keeler, l, l, 8, g, .;
Logan, 4, ., ., 2, 5; Annie Collins, 2, 3,
4, 4, 4; Cy. Anger, 5, 5, 5, drawn. Time:
2:3l; 2:33l; 2:34; 2:33i; 2:33i.
In the pscing race, Sleepy George was
the fsvOrite ia the pools, and his friends
came to grief In the start for the first
heat Evans's and Ben Buffers sulkies
coIlided, the latter being so badly
wrecked as 10 prevent him going in the
heat. The race was hot between Seal
skin, George and Harry, CopperbottOm
and Evans acting badly. Summary:
Pacing-purse, $500; free for all PAGERS;
mile heats, in 5, in harness. Sealskin,

that the largest vessels possible, of the
! greatest possible tonnage, should be
built or chartered. Barge lines from the
remote northwest and from st. Louis
should be used in connection with these
great sea-going steamers, into which
grain would be transferred 10 bulk at
New Orleans. This plan, carried out
on such a scale, would make New
Orleans new Tyre, and turn the valleys
OF the Mississippi and Missouri into the
Egypt of European Egypt that would
be to Britain what the OLD Egypt once
was TO Rome; and the name Of Memphis
aud Cairo would once more define
offices to the crowded lands, akin to
those discharged Of old by their name
sakes. This gorgeous prospect, too, is
taking practical shape, according to Mr..
Davis. 1t is no longer an idle southern
dresm INDUCED beneath the hanging
giOries OF BOnaventura, but an actual
Undertaking. Already since his return
MIR. Davis has received letters from the
society that light-draught steamers will
be built TO inaugurate the trade and that
speedily, There can be no doubt that
the system of dredging applied to the
Clyde can be just as easily applied 10 the
lower Mississippi, for, as Mr.. Davis re-
marks, while he was himself secretary
of war under President Pierce, the river
was kept open; and that without the
inducements such grand scheme offers.
1t is a grand scheme. The grain of the
west floating down almost without ex-
pense, ia unbroken bulk, for direct ship
ment, joining the fl0tillas of barges
laden with cotton and with sugar, all
free OF tolls, Of commission, double and
tribe profits bringing the consumer
and the producer Of the great staples OF
humanity-the bread that feeds and the
web that clOthes-within almost direct
with each other. Great are
the woes Mr.. Davis aided in bringing
on the south; but should he do this
thing, the benefits he will confer upon
her will wipe his errors away from the
minds Of the pOsterity Of her people.

MANOR HAVEMEYER.
His Objectionable AppOiniees Tender
their RestgaatIOn-Their successors
AppOInted-0PiniOn of the
New YORK Press.

NEW YORK, July S.-The campaign
against Mayor Havemeyer, growing
out of q scandal caused by him reap
pointing the convicted police commits
sioners, has been so vigorously conduct
ed that at late hour last night he con.
cluded that discretion was the better
part of vslor, and surrendered. The
designations Of the Objectionable COM
missioners, Charlick and Gardner, were
read and accepted, and George W. Mat
sci, superintendent of police, and John
r. VOORHEES,, excise commissioner, were
appointed to fill the vacancies.
Two memorials will be presented TO
the governor to-day at his country seat,
and appeals will be made for the Te-
moval of Mayor Hsvemeyer. One Of
these claims that the action OF the
mayor in reappOinting the convicted
commissioners was gross outrage upon
public decency, while the other empha-
sises its legality.
or this latest movement Of Mayor
Havemeyer, the Tribune says: at will
be accepted by thoughtful citizens as an
insult" The Times says: at would
be absurd to credit Mayor HavemeyeT
with the slightest regard to the public
interest" The Herald says: "He has
only emphasized his offense and more
than proved his unfitness for the Office
he now holds"

MINING TROUBLES.
ReEiOn-Ibe White and Black
E.abOrers Won't nix.

COLUMBUS, o., July S.-A force of
sixty-five colored men and twenty white
guards left for Straitsville mines to-day.
The train was met at Straitsville by a
turbulent crowd of about one hundred
and fifty striking miners, and their
wives and children. Secretary Putnam
made q speech 10 the crowd, and re-
quested them to obey the laws and dis
peTse, as they were on private property.
The crowd refused to dispeTse till assured
that q box of arms on the train were not
there by State authority, and should not
be UDloaded. The crowd then slowly
dispersed, in no good humor,
but eonlented themselves with telling
the cOlored men they had been deceived,
and begging them not to go to work.
The women held their children in their
arms, pointing out the negroes to them
as those who came to rob them of bread,
and after four kilograms from Secretary
Putnam the sheriff of Perry county hus
promised to go to Straitsville tomorrow.
A special force has been sworn in by the
authorities at Straitsville TO preserve or
der. Dispatches received here toni ght
state that this afternoon some of the
strikers got drunk, and we're firing pis-
tolls in the vicinity OF the cOlOred mems
quarters.

PLYMOUTH CHURCH.
The GOIden Age EdItOriaIizes upon the
g Silence that fs Almost Audibie''
ia the Policy OF OfBeeeher's
Church.

NEW YORK, July 8.-The Golden Age
tomorrow publishes the following edi-
toriaI: d" Plymouth church has adopted
a policy of silence. 1t has seen a cum
ming tissue of misrepresentation and
insinuation, woven for the injury of one
man and the protection of another,
swept away at a single blow, leaving its
artifice exposed to the public eye, and
yet, in the face of universal de-
mand for an explanation, it holds
its peace. 1t sees the character
Of one whose good name it is bound to
defend from every sspersion, brought
under grave and terrible suspicion; and
while millions in an agony of sympathy
for him entreat it to open its lips and
speak one assuring word, it persistently
holds its tongue. The fact speaks in
trumpet-tOnes. The American people
asked for one word in behalf of man
they revered and loved better than any
other; one single syllable Of assurance
from lips that have moved millions and
have witchery of persuasiveness held
by no other on earth, would have satis-
fed them. There was a splendid occa-
sion, and there stood the man TO fill it,
with a voice which would have gone
like England's drum-beat round the
worli. They listened in death-like still
ness, and were treated to q silence that
was almost audible. The fact admits of
oHly one construction, and whoever
thinks draws the inevitable conclusion
that there is a silence more oppressive
and ominous than that of death. The
American people now know what that
silence is.

A CORRECTION.
Nice i'm Asia and Nice fH France-Rhere
the Eieene Greed was Manufactured.

EDITORS APPEAL-Your European
correspondent, Mrs. Mary J. Holmes,
writing from Nice, in France, and de-
seribing the castle situated on high
promontOry in the rear of the city, says:
1.-THE great interest of the castle, how
ever, is centered in the fact that here,
centuries ago, assembled that famous
Nicean council, which sat to determine
what men must believe, and sent their
decree forth to the world in the form of
the Nicean Creed. Armed with the ter
rible power of Rome, it left its bloody
Il ack in many dark page of European
history The last sentence is too true,
but am surprised that one so well in
formed as Mrs. Holmes should have
made the mistake of locating that ia
nous council in France. The Nice from
which Mrs. Holmes writes is situated in
the extreme southeast corner Of
France, at the mouth of the river
Paglione, looking out upon the
Gulf of Genoa, whereas the Nice
where sat the famous council whose
creed has muzzled the heads Of ecclesi-
astics for fifteen hundred years, and
cleft its bloody track on many dark
page of European history,n was a city
of ancient Bithynia in Asia Minor,
about one hundred miles southeast of
ConstantinOple, and nearly thousand
miles from Nice, in France, The first
council of Nice was called by the EN-
peror Constantine, in the year 325, to
reconcile tine dispute which had arisen
concerning the nature and essence OF
the Godhead between Alexander, bishop
of Alexandria, and his presbyter, Arius.
The latter contended that Christ was
created by God, and inferior to him both
in nature and dignity. This doctrine
was condemned by the council, and
Christ was declared cORsubStd7l5iGt, or OF
the same essence with God, and Arius
was banished for his heresies. A second
council was convened at Nice in the
year 786, by the Empress Irene, wife of
Leo ", whom she had poisoned. This
council re-established the worship Of
images and the cross, which had been
previously forbidden by an edict OF Leo,
in 726, and condemned by a council as
sembled at COnstantinopie in 754. Seven
hundred and fifty years after the first
council of Nice lin 1914 Asia Minor
was conquered by the Turks, aud the
Sultan Solimon established his palace
and fortress at Nice, and "the divinity
of Christ was denied and derided in the
same temple in which it had been pro-
nounced by the first general synod of
the Catholics

TIE COMET.
Some Additional Facts in Regard 20 II
Its Fature Movements.

Coggia's comet is now plainly visible
TO the naked eye, and can be seen any
evening in the western sky after dark.
At preseut it is approaching both the
sun and earth with q constantly accel-
Grated velocity, arriving at perihelion
(nearest the sum and perigee, nearest
the EARTH about the first Of August. II
is asserted by astronomers that duuug
the greater part of the two months to
come, it is likely to be a conspicuous
and beautiful object in the western sky,
though it will have no such length Of
train as some previous comets. Prof.
Il. n. Parkhurst, of New York, ealcu-
lates that the tail of this comet will
touch the earth on the twentieth in
slant. II the tail were solid, this would
be a startling announcement. The ma
ture of comets, especially Of the tail, is
a matter Of great uncertainty. The nu-
cleus obeys the laws Of gravity, uninflu-
enced by the motions Of the tail. The
material Of the tail first moves toward
the sun, and then is repelled rom ii.
This evident polarity leads to the nat
ural conjecture that the tail is electrici-
ty itself In this case, contact with the
earth might simply develop electrical
phenomena, Ike the aurora.
In the New York Tribune of Saturday
We find another conjecture from Pro-
f4ssOr Parkhurst. He says: After
July 14-h, when the head Of the comet
viii begin to be dimmsd by the SUMS
rays. il viii carry with il the brightest
portion Of the tail on successive days; so
that on the twenty-second or twenty
third, when the tail viii be very near
US. probably oDe-hslf or more, and that
by far the Brighter half, will be between
Us and the sun, and therefore invisible,
and it win be the fainter end Of the tail
which viii be in q position TO be visible.
1t is known, and Was mentioned by Mr..
Proctor, IN his lectures, that such q body
does not grow brighter by proximity or
fainter BY distance. That portion Of the
tail above the horizon, and nearest TO Us,
may be so excessively faint that to eyes
unaccustOmed to such accurate discumi-
nation, if not TO astronomers themselves,
it may be wholly invisible. But, on the
other hand, the portion extending be-
youd our orbit, "tsPering off rapidly TO-
ward the end,n as l suggested, will be |
so fJre=hoTtened as 10 be Tor that reason /
very much brighter. Il is possi 5le, there |
flre-T will not say that II is more than /
barely possible - that the tail, being .
sep lrated into two parts, the one toward I
the sun being entirely invisible, and the 4
other being of a tapering form, growing /
brighter toward the smaller end, the .
latter may resemble a new comet in the
east, with q long tail pointing toward
the vest

JEFFERSON DAVIS's WORK IN
EUROPE.
What May be Accomplished through it
and by the Mississippi Valley
Society.


From the Brooklyn Eagle.l
To be rid Of commercial vassalageo
TO the north, as they called it, is an older
dream with the sOutherner, than his
later one Of political dissertation with
the same section. The Trenholms and
the Lamars of South Carolina, as well
as the Lamars Of Mississippi-all the
leading political economists Of the south,
and several Of the leading mercantile
organizations Of the west, as far north
ward as st. Louis, have dreamed the
dream Of floating southern products and
western grains to the sea upon ships
owned in the south and cleared IN
southern ports. With Memminger, the
alien treasurer Of the rebel organization,
the dream was passion; and with il be
and Walk, and other men Of that class,
long ago, impregnated the active mind
ofJefferson Davis. Declared forever from
all hope OF fitting political occupation
here, less fond OF the law than Benjamin,
Davis has been ocCUpyin his mind with
efforts 10 realize that dream. or a GER
tainty, il is a dream, the easiest dream
70 realize If he can but inspire con-
fidence in the capitalists Of London.
He has tried 10 do this. He has just re-
turned from London, and in Memphis,
last Wednesday evening, Mr. Davis ae-
dressed meeting Of the Mississippi
Valley society Of London" be told
them how through the reports Of their
agents the parent sJciety IN London had
at last come 70 understand the feelings
ufthe people Of the south on this matter,
aud how they were really situated finan-
ciallv. and also how they had come 10
understand thoroughly the labor diff
culLies under which the whole OF the
cotton and sugar lands are suffering.
Among his statements in Memphis, Mr..
Dzvi- made the following: That be had
been presented 70 Sir Edwin Pearson, Of
this society, aud all these aims and in
cidents % the international association,
having. branches everywhere IN Europe,
o. well a. In the valley Of the Mlssls-
sippi, we're thoroughly discussed. IL
was IN an interview with members Of
the society that he had suggested the
inauguration Of q system Of direct trade
between England aud the valley Of the
Mississippi. He had shown how the in
feruediate agency Of Atlantic coast
cities was ruinoUs 70 English merchants,
and that great losses were sustained, for
he same reason, by the people Of cities
aud states along the great American
river. There is no necessity for the IN
feryentiOn of middlemen and middle
cities now absorbing ali profits incident
10 commercial intercourse between the
grest valley and the worlds commercial
Ss,itsl. lis needless 10 say that British
sfatesmen, merchants and bankers, con-
stitutipg the society ia London, ap-
proved the plans defined by Mr.. Davis
aud readily agreed 10 furnish three
fourths Of the capital required 70 inaugu-
rate the enterprise, and establish sue
