Chicago Aroused.

The people of Chicago have become aroused
to the necessity of doing something to protect
their city against fire. We believe that they
were similarly aroused three years ago, but the
burned district was built up and the affair was
forgotten. Chicago owes something to the
rest of the world, and it is about time that
some of the proposed safeguards were adopted.
1t is now promised that the water supply is to
be improved, wooden buildings are to be re-
moved from the city limits and the fire de-
partment is to be thoroughly reorganized. It
is to be hoped that these good resolutions will
not be suffered to end, like the great confla-
grations, in smoke. 1t looks promising to
find that the insurance companies are now
aroused as we'll as the people, and the Board
of Underwriters have resolved to entirely
withdraw the protection Of the companies they
represent unless these precautionary measures
are adopted. If the insurance offices can be
relied on to adhere to their determination we
shall no doubt behold such reforms in Chi
cago as will prevent recurrence of such con-
f0grations as those which have twice devas-
tated portions of the city Otherwise we fear
that the ardor of the people may again cool
off with the dying embers.

TIE NEW INDICTMENTS found against
ex-Police Commissioners Charlick and Gard
ner give far more serious aspect to the
charges against Mayor Havemeyer 1t was
pretended by the Mayor that the violation of
the law by the convicted Commissioners was
only technical" !" that the inspector lille
gally removed was of bad character that the
jury was not an honest one. Now that the
offence is alleged to have been repeated over
and over again, and different Grand Jury
have found indictments against the accused,
the action of the Mayor in defying the law,
ignoring the Governors notice and reap
pointing the convicted men appears the more
outrageous. There seems to have been con-
spiracy to pack the inspectors Of election in
defiance of the law, and should the new in
dictments lead to conviction the people will
demand severe penalty against the guilty
parties.
The New York herald., 1874-07-20

MAYOR HAvEMEYER is evidently disposed to
treat the charges on which Governor Dix has
called upon him for his defence with as much
contempt as he can express without commit
ting himself as grossly as he did when he first
received the Governor notification of the
vacancies in the Police Commission. The
Mayor thinks the protection of Mr.. Myer
Stern of far more consequence than the Gov
ernor's summons. He has duties to attend to
without hurrying himself about any such non
sense. The Governor can wait until he is
ready, which may be in day or two, or may
be in week. This is the tone the Mayor has
adopted when speaking of charges of officiIl
misconduct, which may rid the city OF the
scandal of his administration sooner than the
people have hoped.

MORE ABOUT THE NATHAN MURDER MYs-
TERY.-We print this morning strange letter
from a pardoned convict bearing on the Ma
than murder mystery, and purporting to give
a true account of the affair. According to the
writer of this letter the murder was COM
mitted by notorious burglar named Henry
smith, who was one of gang who entered
Mr.. Nathan's house for the purpose of plum
der. 1t will be seen from our report that the
police authorities do not consider this letter
of any value. Henry Smith is known to
them and so is the writer of the letter. Il
seems as if this mystery would never be fully
unravelled The police, in spite OF their pre-
tensions to the contrary, would appear to be
as much in the dark as the general public.
1t is the opinion Of some people that had
Captain Jourdsn's life been spared the mur-
derer would have been discovered Of this
we are by no means satisfied. Whatever may
be the result this letter renders further in
vestigation necessary. 1t will not do to leave
q single stone unturned

Church Services and Sermons.

The metropolitan churches were fairly
attended yesterday, and the ministra-
tions of the clergy fervent, and it is to
be hoped efficient, despite the attractions
of the watering places and Central Park.
Rev. Mr.. Hunt, of Princeton College,
preached at the Eleventh street Presby-
terian church. Despite the brilliancy of
the outside scene he was as gloomy as
would have been Calvin or Knox if caught in
Highland mist, for he went on to show that
the ''divine benevolence is limited by human
wickedness. Rev. DR.. Osborn sounded o
trumpet note calling Christians to the front
and commanding them to keep there-a posi-
ton which, it appears, is absolutely necessary
to the ultimate salvation of the soul, as was
well set forth by the Rev. Edward Gross,
of Coventry, England, in his portrayal
Of the lapse of Judas and its consequences.
The Catholics made solid progress towards the
building up and extension of the Church.
Brooklyn was trustful, as usual, in the mercy
Of the Lord. Rev. DR.. Quint oficiated in Mr..
Beecher's pulpit in the morning. There was
no service in Plymouth church in the even
ing The reverend gentleman insisted on sim
ners purifying their souls by Christ's love-
the only means Of doing so. He called on
the Lord to cover our ''Althy rags and thus,
in His mercy, enable us to begin a new life
Rev. DR.. Wild preached his farewell for vaca-
ton sermon in the Seventh avenue Metho-
dist Episcopal church. He denounced cor
ruption in courts, which he knows of only by
hearsay, and spoke somewhat approvingly of
life at Saratoga, of which he knows some
thing. Camp meetings are, in his opin-
ion, an excellent cure for the everyday fail
ings of fashionable life, and if the Doctor can
induce the fashionables to make trial of it
his effort will have our hearty approval. Rev.
Mr.. Plummer, Of Tennessee, wants to have
all earthly things kept in good condition; An
excellent idea, as Andy johnson would say,
for we know not the hour or moment. Rev.
DR.. Armita9e was at his post, although the

in the future only feelings of good will and
act the one toward the other in the spirit of
mutual forbearance.
The regatta OF 1874 is the crisis of college
rowing The growth of the past at first wes
slow; but who could have predicted that in so
few years nine college crews would meet on
Saratoga Lake to contend for the palm of vic
tory? Only remarkable interest in boating.
not only among the colleges, but with the
people, can account for the magnificent spec
tacle of Saturdays regatta.
1t is due to Harvard and Yale that the races
were thus popularized It is due, as we be-
fore remarked, to their magnanimity that such
splendid scene was possible on Saratoga
Lake And yet the only event to mar the
pleasure of this grand occasion was in the
differences of these colleges, after generous
and friendly rivalry Of many years. 1t is I'M
fortunate that they quarrelled at all it would
be doubly unfortunate if their quarrel should
be perpetuated. They cannot afford to allow
such quarrel to continue. In the interest
of boating and of athletic sports in general
they must give over an idle feud The Ameri-
S'NA PoSPto AoVO oAAy AOsihCu ACW AAhpOAtoho
it is that our colleges should breed men as
well as scholars. Muscle was only coming to
be recognized as something that is compatible
with mind. Until within few years the old
and trite Latin maxim, ''Mens sdnd in corp0re
sd,O, was oftenest IN the mouths of people
who were not themselves illustrations of its
truthtulness. The traditional stoop of the
student disappeared when he learned to
handle the oar as well as the classics Even
the college professors slow as they
often are to learn mere worldly wis
dom, were beginning to comprehend that
an undergraduate might be equally skilful in
q six-oared shell on the river and at PROPOSE
ton from Euclid on the blackboard. This is
too great gain to be thrown away on silly
fight between two college crews. There is too
much to be lost by such feud being allowed
to enter even as an element of discord in
ten before another day shall come. Yale and
Harvard, accustomed to contend only with
each other for the honors of the annual race,
are this year in the false position of con-
tending with each other, while Columbia
holds the championship. The disputants
must dispute no longer, but try to
make up for their bad fortune with the
oar by successful efforts in the foot races and
remaining feats. To forget their private
griefs in the interest of athletic sports Is the
duty Of the hour BY perpetuating their
quarrel they will do no good to themselves
and work injury to all-the irreparable injury
of bringing college sports into disfavor and
disrepute We hope to hear nothing more
on this subject except that all matters in dis
pute between the crews have been amicably
adjusted, and that for the future they intend
cultivating the friendly relations of the past.

The weather summary for the month of
June presents some anomalous conditions,
which the comet students may interpret.
Last month, it appears, was comparatively
free from the great storms and cyclones, but
was especially prolific of severe local and elec-
trical storms. approximately it is estimated
that at least five hundred and fifty such thun-
der storms have occurred within the limit Of
the observations from which this summary is
compiled. If SO many of these disturbances
have been witnessed how many more have
probably passed unregistered?
In the matter Of atmospheric temperature
the past month is distinguished for its unusual
warmth, and the heat has been very evenly
distributed east of the Rocky Mountains. But
west of these mountains the temperature has
been below the mean of many years, and SINH
lar to that Of the past month in Western
Europe. No one has supposed that the effect
of Coggia' comet would be felt on the earth
unless about or after it was nearest the sun.
We can argue nothing, it would seem, from
the high June temperature east of the Missis-
sippi, which, perhaps, may be explained by
the excess of rainfall in the region westward
and the consequent enlarged liberation of
latent heat. But the July average thermcme-
tric readings ought to afford some test for
ascertaining if any thermal influence reaches
our planet from the perihehoned comet. If
such an influence is potential it ought to be
unmasked by the extensive and exact results
recorded in the review. We shall see.
