of the San Juan proper, and the fresh
cts of the San Carlos and Sarapiqui
rivers still deposit immense quanti-
ties of silt and detritus. The civil en-
gineer is very confident, however, that
AS the canal proper leaves the San
Juan above all large tributaries-the
clean water will itself materially as
sist any dredging that may be neces-
sary to restore to Greytown its origi-
nalharbor, or, at the least, enlarge it
sufficiently for the accommodation of
the few ships detained there, until
they can be locked up to the lake,
where they may remain quietly at an
Choir in fresh water, free from the
storms of the ocean, loading with the
products of the country, repairing all
damages with timber of the best quail
ity, and provisioning for the coming
voyage of the Pacific.
With all these advantages in view
it is natural that the members of the
Nicaragua expedition should be en-
thusiastic over their scheme, but it
remains with the Commission, who
will look without Partially at either
route, to determine toward which the
balance OF favor will drop, and to re-
turn, having in their possession the
"secret of the strait so earnestly
sought for by Columbus and the brave
seamen of the sixteenth century.

The Duty on Jute.

The Santa Clara Farmers Club has
memorialized the Legislature on the
question of removing the duty on jute.
Inasmuch rs the success of their agri-
cultural interests depend on the cheap
ness with which grain can be sent to
market, and as the distance is so great
that shipments in bulk cannot be
safely made, the free admission of jute
and bagging is desired. Should it be
impossible to secure the removal of
the duty on jute itself, the club asks
that machinery for its manufacture
shall be admitted free. We think this
very moderate and reasonable re-
quest. 1t is highly important that
the manufacture Of bagging should be
encouraged in this State, and the free
admission of machinery would be a
considerable step in that direction.

A Woman Burned to Death.

A most shocking affair, resulting in
the death of woman fOrty-two years
of age, took place on the second floor
of the premises rear of No. 20S West
Twentieth street, at late hour on
Saturday night. From information
received yesterday by Coroner Volt
man it appears that Owen Mangin, an
Irish laborer, and his wife Ann, lived
at the above number, and had occu-
pied the same apartments for a year or
two past. Mangin was a hard work
ing and industrious man; but, unfor-
tunately, both Of them were addicted
to the habit of drinking to excess, and
when inebriated frequent quarrels
were the result. On Saturday evening
Mangin returned home and asked his
wife for some supper, whereupOn she
saluted him with volley Of abuse,
and concluded by saying he had better
go out and get his supper. Mangin
then left the house and after INDUCING
in several drinks returned not far from
eleven o'clock, and attempted to light
a kerosene oil lamp from candle
which stood on the table, and while
doing so the lamp either fell and eX-
plOded or he threw 1t at his wife, thus
setting her clothes on fire. agF
Mrs. Mary McCafferty, domestic
in the family, being present, envelop-
ed Mrs. Mangin in quilt or shawl
and endeavOred to quench the flames,
but did not succeed till she was terri
bly, burned, nearly over the whole
surface of the body. At the moment
Mrs. Mangin's clothes caught fire her
husband left the room, but returning
in half an hour was arrested on suspi-
cion of throwing the lamp at his wife,
by reason of which she was burned.
Mangin protested his innocence, and
said the lamp accidentally fell from
his hands and exploded. Mrs. Mccall
ferty, who was present, on being ques-
toned would not or could not state
positively whether Mangin threw the
lamp at his wife or whether it fell, as
stated by himself. After receiving
medical attention at the house, Mrs.
Mangin was conveyed to Bellevue
Hospital, where she sunk from ex.
haustion consequent upon the burns,
and died at o'clock yesterday morn
ing. When informed of her death
Mangin seemed overwhelmed with
grief and again protested his limo
cence. He was locked up to await the
result of an investigation. Mrs. Nc
Cafferty will be examined to-day

Dead or Sleeping.

Last Thursday afternoon little girl
named Annie Wharty, daughter OF
Michael Wharty, living at 507 Mason
street, died in an epileptic fit. The
usual process of decomposition which
usually follows death was so long de-
ferred that up to last night the parents
and friends of the little girl chung to
the hope that the spirit had not yet
taken its flight, and that she would
again open her eyes and gladden. them
with her smile. But this morning I'M
mistakable signs of decomposition
were observed, and yet the odor which
usually accompanies it is lacking, the
limbs have not become rigid, the eyes
have not assumed a deathlike look,
and different degrees of cold are OBJ
served in different portions of the
body. Although not case of sus-
pended animation, as some had sup
posed, there are yet peculiar features
in the operation of death upon the
body of this child.
A Post reporter visited the house Of
Mr.. Wharty on Mason street, near
Post, this morning. The room in
which the body lay was crowded with
ladies, and two Catholic priests were
present. The body lay on a small
couch, and at the foot of the bed was
a crucific, burning candles and several
boquets. The face of the child was
not covered, and at glance she APP
peared to be sleeping, but at closer
inspection blush and purple discolor-
atoms were seen on the neck and
shoulders. There was flush on the
cheeks, and the ears We're quite red.
One of the priests turned up the eye
lid. The appearance of the eye was
perfectly natural, and was not covered
with film, and lacked the usual
CLASSY appearance they assume after
death. The face of the child was
barely cold. The ankles were quite
cold, but the toes almost warm. Not
the slightest odor was perceptible, and
but for the discoloratiOn Of the neck
and shoulders one would think that
the child merely slept.
The little girl has been subject to
epileptic fits since she commenced
cutting her teeth. The one in which
she died last Thursday lasted for half
an hour before she ceased to breathe.
DR.. Chase was in attendance and pro-
nounced her dead. He advised the
parents to set the funeral for Saturday,
stating that the child being fieshy,
and dying so suddenly, decomposition
would take place rapidly. On Friday
the corps looked natural and life. like,
with no evidences of decay. and the
funeral was postponed until Sunday.
Saturday the body looked even more
life-like, and when the appointed hour
on Sunday came and the friends as
sembled to show their sympathy for
the bereaved parents, the condition of
the corpse had rot changed, and the
funeral was again deferred, and will
not take place until more marked
signs of death make their appearance.

Regulating the Telegraph.

A dispatch from San Francisco in
this issue says that Duffy's telegraph
bill which has passed the Senate, pro-
viding for uniform rate throughout
the State, will compel the company
to charge small papers in the country
the same rates that are paid by the
city papers, and we are left to infer
that this will be ruinous to the country
press. Not having copy of the bill
before us, we are not prepared to say
positively that this is not the case, but
our understanding has been that the
object of the act is to break up the
monopoly of the news enjoyed by a
few newspapers to the exclusion of all
the other journals in the State. At
present the newspapers of Southern
California are compelled to take their
news at second hand. However much
the Telegraph Company may be dis
posed to favor them, nothing that has
been telegraphed TO the associated
press can be forwarded here until it
has appeared in the papers belonging
to the monopoly. If the papers in the
interior towns receive the same news
reports and get them at the same time
that the city papers do, we see no rea-
son why they should not pay just as
much; but it is not at all likely the
Legislature will compel us to pay as
much for three-fourths of column Of
dispatches that have already appeared
in the San Francisco papers, as the
city papers are required to pay for two
columns of fresh news, delivered direct
to them from the wires. There is an
urgent demand for some legislation to
prevent the absorption by a combina-
tion of all the privileges of the tele-
graphic communication of news.
Whether Duffy's bill will accomplish
any good in this direction can be de-
cided when we know more about it.

Another Blow at the Liquor Trade.

The bill prohibiting the collection Of
accounts of over five dollars for liquors
sold at retail has received the sigma
ture of the Governor, and is therefore
q law. While it is difficult to see
what distinction there is between the
wholesale and the retail dealer, or why
the debts of one should be collectable
by law, and not the other, it is proba-
BILE that the effect of the law will be
salutary. The saloonists will, of
course, be careful how they allow bills
to accumulate, and impecunious soak
ers will not be able to keep up pro-
tracted drunk.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

Owing to the great pressure on our adver-
tising columns advertisers would favor us by
sending in their advertisements early in the
day. This course will secure proper classif-
cation, helping the public and the HERALD.
Advertisements intended for our Sunday issue
may be sent with great advantage in the earlier
days of the week it will prevent confusion
and mistakes arising from the immense
quantity of work to be done on
Saturdays. Advertisements will be re-
ceived daily at this Office, the branch Office,
No. 1,265 Broadway, between Thirty-frst and
Thirty-second streets, and the Brooklyn
branch Office, corner of Fulton and Boerum
streets, up to nine p NJ, and at the Harlem
branch Office, 124th street and Third avenue,
up to haE-past seven P. NJ. Let advertisers
remember that the earlier their advertisements
are in the HERALD Office the better for them
selves and for us.

No Law FOR SPEcKLED Trout In the
case tried on Tuesday for the enforcement
Of the Game law prohibiting the sale Of
speckled trout in this city at certain times of
the year it was clearly made out that the fish
sold was of the kind described in the law and
there was no dispute that the fish was sold at
a period within the terms Of the prohibition.
It was claimed that the fish was caught in a
foreign country, but not claimed that it came
within the exceptions to the prohibition made
in the law. The sale was therefore undoubt-
edly unlawful, and sportsmen had every rea-
son to anticipate conviction. Moreover,
under the charge made to the jury, it would
seem impossible for the offenders to have
been acquitted yet acquitted they were. Does
this flow from an inherent hostility on the
part Of jurors to game laws, or is it a desperate
resolve to have trout when they can be had,
law or no law7 But the Sportsman's Club will
probably not let so clear case end there.
The New York herald., 1874-10-22
The Election or AIdermen.

1t is said that the Tammany chiefs have
decided to disregard that part of the city
charter which regulates the choice of Alder
men. By the charter six new Aldermen are
elected by the city at large each year. but no
citizen can vote for more than four OF the
six, which gives the political party which is
in the minority an opportunity of electing
two. The Tammany people contend that
this law is unconstitutional, and that every
citizen has right to vote for every Alderman.
They found their argument on that provision
of the State constitution which declares that
every citizen possessing the requisite qualiica-
tons for voting at all 'shall be entitled to vote
may be elective by the people," 1t is hence
inferred that the electors of this city have
right to vote for as many Aldermen as are to be
chosen, and not merely for two-thirds of them.
The party advantage of disregarding the char
ter in this particul is manifest. Instead Of
choosing four Of the Aldermen, Tammany will
elect the whole six, if it proves to be majority
in the city. The words Of the constitution
seem to support the view on which the Tan1-
many politicians intend to proceed, but it will
remain for the courts to decide whether they
correctly interpret the constitution. 1t is OBJ
vious that its language cannot be taken quite
literally. If the Aldermen were chosen in single
districts no citizen would be entitled to
vote for more than one. We suppose there is
no question Of the right Of the Legislature to
district the city and thus restrict each citizen
to voting for only one member of the Board.
1t is not therefore to restrain
citizen to voting for less than the whole
number Whether the form Of restricting his
vote adopted by the charter is also constitu-
tional is legal point which can be settled
only by judicial decision. But it is evidently
rather question of form than of substance.
Under the single district system the minority
would have chance of carrying some Of the
districts and it is fair even if it is not consti-
tutonal, to allow them an equivalent advantage
on the general ticket system.
