LOuisiaua Jockey Club.

Already are heard notes of preparation
for the spring meeting OF the Louisiana
Jockey Club. The programme OF the meet
Ing is ALREADY published. There will be six
days racing. For the first day, IN the race
for the Pickwick stake. there are thirty two
nominations, and for the Fortuna stake, on
the last day, there are also thirty-two noml-
nations. This is the largest number of horses
ever named to start in one race on any track
South. Of course, it Is not expected that
they will all come to the post, but the indi-
cations are that from twelve to fifteen OF
the flyers at least will show up for drum
tap. There are now wintering here some
thirty horses. Edwin Adams and Nellie
r. arrived to-day. These, together with
the Mobile, Natchez, Memphis aud Charles
ton stables. will give us plenty OF sport.
So much by way of reference to preparation
in the line of horse flesh.
Now for few words concerning the great
Improvement that has been made IN the con-
dition of the track itself. Every one who
has ever visited the Fair Grounds knows
how sodden the track was, how clayey, and
| how severe it was on the racers In weather
the slightest wet. Now all this is changed.
The track is springy and elastic. 1t is firm
and strong. but is jast sufficiently light to
afford play and ease to the horse. This
great change is entirely due to the energy
and sagacity of Captain William NJ. Con-
ner, the popular clerk of the course Few
men know the requisites Of race track;
| they are apt to mako track too solid, and
where they gain in smoothness and firm
ness, they lose in buoyancy. Captain Con-
ner has hit the happy mean, and now pre-
| sents to the racing world q track equal to
any on the continent. We do not speak
now of the buildings or the stands, or the
general appearance of the grounds-we al
lude to the track as q race course. We
speak OF, it for its adaptability for displaying
the greatest speed of which the thorough
bred courser is capable.
The track bed has been raised throughout
| its entire extent from six inches to two feet.
Captain Conner having had experience in
! the matter, observed that the material on
| the old Metairie was what made that track
so service able, and has succeeded in obtain
| ing the same kind Of filling for the Louisiana
course. Some thirty carts and upwards of
| 100 men have been employed for q month
| past in perfecting improvements. The
severe rain of night before last afforded a
fair test of the drainage system now in
operation. Eight hours after the rain the
track was dry and the harrows at work.
Racing men, turtles, all who have visited
| the track, are enthusiastic in their praise OF
| its present condition. The grading and
shaping OF the course has also been much
improved, particularly that por ton leading
down the back stretch. Now that spring
in her "etherial mildness" has come a visit
TO the Fair Grounds and an inspection Of
the Louisiana race course will repay apy
one time and trouble.

Mr.. Forster's Speech.

America is candid country, the more so,
perhaps, because it finds concealment impos-
sible. We cannot hide our faults as nation,
nor the imperfections of our government
Credit Mobilier frauds, back-pay grabs, rail-
road swindles, misrule at the capital and
usurpation and chaos at the South, are things
which cannot be put away from the sight of
other countries. We make virtue of this
necessity and invite the criticism we can
not help. But we are fortunate and glad
when the critic is at once 30 friendly and
so capable as the distinguished Englishman
whom the Union League Club Of this city
entertained last evening. The Hon. w. E.
Forster is one of the few public men in
England who during the late war, professed
faith in the stability Of the Union and
defended the policy Of our government
While he no doubt perceives many things in
our institutions which are TO be regretted, he
certainly has always sympathized with
their spirit and recognized their value
The welcome Of this true friend Of
the United States has, therefore, been every
where enthusiastic, and that his prolonged
tour through the country has been a
pleasant one we have his own assur-
ance. In his speech at the Union
League Club last night he said that
he had not heard one mention Of his native
country that an Englishman would not like to
hear, and as we are candid people he may
take this o. o strong proof of good will. His
speech is manly and thoughtful, and its con-
cluding words respecting the duty of English
speaking nations to protect their liberties by
each preserving Its own are those Of true
statasmauship and wisdom,

Railroad Law In Europe.

With our extensive territory and one Lam
guage and generally one law on all the ordi-
nary points OF human difficulty we are scarcely
able to comprehend the troubles that beset
mortality in Europe, where one railroad jour-
ney may carry the traveller in day or two
through three or four nations Of diff
ferent language, different law and diff
ferent views Of life generally. Difficult
as IL often is with us to locate RESPONSE
bility and secure redress for injuries, we are
at least relieved from the very great embar-
rassment in such pursuit that one always
finds on the frontier Of foreign country. It
is, therefore, rather with benevolent curiosity
than with personal interest that We may con-
template the endeavors Of society in Europe
to secure the international recognition OF
some definite general principles for the satis-
faction of grievances against railway COM
panies. Suppose manufacturer Of fancy
articles in Paris fills an order for goods 10 be
delivered in Prague. He ships his case at
Paris by French company. At the frontier
it goes into the hands of Prussian company,
which passes 1t on to the Nassau or the
Hessian company; and that, in turn, gives
1t to the Bavarian company, which gives it to
the Austrian company, which, perhaps, passes
it on to Prague. But 1t may get to Prague
badly damaged, OF It may not get there at all.
In either case who is responsible? This Is
nracisalv what thsv want TO know. Il you

The LOUISIANA TROUBLES. The situation
in New Orleans has not been materially
changed by the events of yesterday. The Re-
turning Board met and proceeded to transact
business by investigating certain charges of
fraud; but before any progress had been made
the presiding officer, Governor Wells, re-
ceived information that the White Leaguers
were in the vicinity and contemplated an at
tack. Upon the ground that he could not
proceed with the canvass under the threat Of
violence, and that he did not wish to appeal
to the United States troops for protection,
Governor Wells compelled the Board to adj
journ till eleven o'clock to-day. Nothing
has therefore been done by either party, but
the excitement is undiminished, and the dam
ger of trouble is not removed. The Board
of Returns is evidently afraid to act, and the
White Leaguers watch it closely. If any
overt act of violence is committed the United
States military force is sure to interfere, and
such necessity will be universally deprecated.
Louisiana can win no good by revolution, and
one blow may make her condition more des-
perate.

We ARE OccAsIoNALLY in receipt of letters
from advertisers, who complain that they are
charged by agents for advertising in the
HERALD more than our regular rates. One
correspondent tells us that he paid a certain
sum for an advertisement at our Office, and
upon giving one precisely similar to An
agent he was charged about ten per cent
more He asks US to 'let him know If this
way Of charging is correct" To this we
answer that the HERALD has only one price,
that it has no outside agents and allows no
commissions to those in the agency business.
We have our regular Offices, No. 1895 Broad

Tho Revelations An tho Ross Case.
A man whose word is worthless during life
is often believed in death, and thus the dying
confession of one of the burglars shot at Bay
Ridge, L. l., yesterday morning, that he and
his comrade were the kidnappers Of Charley
Ross, is generally accepted as truth He had
no motive for lying; he was dangerously
wounded and knew that he must die. This
man, Douglas, desired that the little money in
his possession should be applied to procuring
him decent funeral and said that his dead
companion had stolen the boy and that he
was his assistant in the deed. It is strange
how the punishment Of one crime leads to the
detection of another and there is reason to
hope that the tragic death Of these daring men
may result in the restoration Of Charley Ross
to his parents.
Unless Douglas, in the moment Of death,
added an unmeaning and wanton fqlsehood to
his other sins, there is no cause to doubt that
he and Mosher were the abductors of the child
for whom, during Eve months, unavailine
search has been made The police authorities
now state that they had suspected these men,
and had been in search for them; and that
this is not merely an idle boast is shown by
our full report of the facts to-day. The Su-
perintendent of the New York police is said
to have supposed Mosher and Douglas to be
the kidnappers from the description given Of
them. There is, therefore, good reason, be-
sides the confession of the dying man. to be-
lieve that the perpetrators Of the crime have
been discovered, and the recovery of the child
ought to be the consequence.
The motive for further concealment is de-
stroyed by the death of the principals. The
storm Of indignation which followed the kid
mapping was wholly unexpected by these men,
and they became afraid of the consequences
of their own deed. They did not dare to
surrender the child. But some person must
have been in the confidence Of Mosher, and
as he is beyond all human power to harm,
and as nothing now is to be gained by the
retention Of the boy. nothing risked by his
restoration, it is probable that person will
soon appear. The police have clew now
which they can hardly lose, and, un-
less Charley Ross has been killed,
which there is every reason 70 doubt,
he is likely to be soon restored to
his family. Thus a happy ending may be
hoped for domestic tragedy which has
thrilled every home in America and has be.
come, by its mysterious and exceptional nature,
almost o national sorrow. If it were q
romance it would not be believed, and as q
true story it stands almost alone in the crimi.
nal annals of our day.

How 20 clean the Streets.

In Paris the streets and their contents are
evidently contemplated in very different
light from that in which they appear to the
eyes Of our municipal authorities Here the
great problem is how to get somebody who
will clean them for the least sum, though this
s'least" sum is a very large one-indeed, con-
sidering the service, o fabulous figure. In
Paris the problem is who shall have the privi-
lege of cleaning the streets and who will pay
the most for it. With us dirty streets seem
the one intolerable and unmanageable burden
of life. In Paris the streets are contemplated
as sort of mine, the property of the author
tiles, and the right to work this perpetual
mine as valuable franchise that competing
capitalists bid for. Contractors purchase the
mud Of the Paris streets, and the present con-
tractors pay for it $120,000 per annum.
The terms of the purchase are that the con-
tractors shall sweep up the filth and carry it
away, and that the men whom they pay to
perform this service shall be under the orders
Of the city authorities Manufactured into
fertilizers the material thus bought for
$12O, is sold for 100000. And we pay
enormous sums every year to have our mine
cleaned out and its product carried away as

INsURGENr SUCCESSES IN CuBA.-If the news
which comes to us from Havana be correct the
Cuban insurrection has taken step forward
most threatening to Spanish power. For many
years the Spanish authorities have felt that
their only hope Of crushing the patriots lay in
confning them within o narrow territory.
With this object extensive Notifications were
built across the whole island. The patriots
have now succeeded in forcing this line. As
it Is their intention to apply the torch to the
plantations of the Western Department and
invoke servile insurrection complete
paralyzation of business may be looked for.
BY destroying the material resources Of the
country the patriots hope to render it impos-
sible for Spain to carry on the war. The
remedy is heroic one and tinged with bar
barism but those who stand by and see q
weak people slaughtered in cold blood have
no right to complain on the score OF hu-
