The BOAT RACE ON HARLEM RIVER Vic
tory fer our 4ndlostdns.-The fouF-oared boat
race between the Analostan boat club, of this
city, and the Nassau boat club, of New York
three miles straight away, came Off on Harle m
river yesterday. Owing 10 the fine reputation
OF both clubs great interest was manifested.
Many sporting men from Philadelphia, Balti-
more Georgetown and Washington were pres
ent. Loud cheers greeted the Neutrality-suspicious.
When, at 7. m, they took position by the
judges' boat, followed shortly afterwards bv
the Nassaus, who were also warmly received.
I he toss Tor position was won By the NassaGs.
In the betting the Nassaus were the favOrites
1tO TO so, and the odds were readily taken. At
5;i6 the word was given tn get ready, shortly
followed by $50 away" and the Nassau's blades
first caught the water, leading with 81 strokes
10 the minute, followed by the Washingtonians
with 30 strokes. The latter gradually crept up,
increasing their stroke to 40 strokes per minute
and soon led the New Workers. At High bridge,
one mile from the start, the Washington craS
led by TWO lengths, and on passing McCOmb's
dam they had increased the lead to three
leDgthss a desperate struggle followed, aud
the New York crew gained slightly on the
Washingtonians, but only momentarily,
as the latter kept the lead and
crossed the line ahead Of tue New Workers
amid the widest excitement on the part OF the
immense crowds on the river banks and steam
boats, winning the race in Is minutes and 50
seconds. The defeat or the Nassaus was
heavy blow, and il was supposed they would de-
feat the Anslostans easily. Washington aud
Baltimore men won large Gums.

The Commissioners state, in addition to the

the LIST day OF October, and the expected cOiiec-
tons during the month Of October, they hope to
release all the colaterals in the hands OF brokers,
bankers, and others, required in October and TO
10th Of November for same and current
peDses, nearly or quite eight hundred thousand
dollars; If they succeed in this the District
will have tasis for credit, and can
make negotiations of released securities at

The tax payers of the District will understand,
therefore, the necessity of extra exertioD to pay
their taxes. The credit OF the District, their
future relations with the government, and what
ever prosperity there is to come from the same.
mainly depends upon the completeness of these

ministration, then, declares formally
in favor of third term for Grant, it
may be considered that the President
has definitely made up his mind to

such an announcement as this has al
most the force of an official procla-
nation signed by Babcock. 1t is
altogether a different thing from the
Cesarian surmises and conjectures Of
journals less intimately associated
with the White House, and may be
taken seriously as a warning of the
scheme which the future is expected
to develop. A third term for Grant

Two American Magazines.

The excellence of American Magazine has
become so well recognized abroad that the
leading English Papers. The London Weekly
Register, III recent issue. thus speaks of
ScRIBNER's MONTHLY.
"We are constrained TO own that Scribner's
Monthly carries off the prize against al our
shilling monthly serials for brillancy of il
Illustrations and variety of contents. 1t is
simply wonderful shillng's worth. Moth
ing can be moro charming than cuts-lull of
force and viyor the light and shade are
managed with Il truly artistic power. Out of
its one and twenty orili::al articles, VIC really
do not know which to choose as BEST for each
and all are excellent"
Not only is that SCHIBNER's MONTHLY ex-
GELS the English Magazines, but it is "The
best Of American MonMLies."

cellence Of its llu strationof American themes

eXcelled. 1t has n larger page and gives u
| greater variety in Its content than any 9TH

In Literary character. and in the brilliarcy
and ability Of its Editorial Departments, it
enjoys an equal prc-em incnce.
Its conductors started with the definite aim
of making it The best magazine IN The acorld of

The District Investigation.

The report OF the Congressional
Committee appointed to investigate
the charges of the memorialists against
the Government of the District Of
Columbia is distinguished chiefly by
a careful avoidance of what might
hurt the feelings Of the high officials
implicated by the remarkable testi-
mony. The one point on which the
report is peculiarly distinct is that the
National Treasury shall supply the
money to settle the debts incurred by
the dissolute and corrupt Govern
ment. The astounding facts that are
stated in this document lead to q very
important conclusion. The Commit
zee finds that the Board of Public
Works traded in contracts, that its
President assumed illegal powers, that
the District debt was increased far be
You'd the limit established by law, that
appropriations made by Congress for
distinct purposes were diverted to
other uses. that the Federal Govern
ment has been cheated in the estima-
ties of work done on its account, and
that the net result Of the administra-
ton Of Cooke and Shepherd is debt
Of $50, OF G, OoO, Of which the book, of
the Treasurer give no satisfactory &C
count, The dclicacy with which
these statements are made in the re-
port, and the studied avoidance Of re-
Elections upon the chief officials con-
cerned, form the most striking tea
lures of the document.
one important OMISSION is found in
the neglect of the Committee to show
where this vast plumber has gone, and
another is seen in the absence of any
purpose Of calling to account the der
elicit officials. The testimony clearly
developed the existence Of real es-
tate ring, composed Of distinguished
gentlemen of the Administration
party; of a paving ring, i'll which Gov.
Shepherd was interested, and a news
paper proprietor was actively engaged
of a fencing ring, Of contractors rings,
and of some of the most astounding
frauds in measurements with which
Grants private secretary was suSplc-
iously associated The most that the
Committee can find to say of these
members of the Government is that
they have covered their tracks well by
a loose system Of bookkeeping, and
that they should be allowed to retire
from Office with their wealth while
Congress votes the peoples money to
make good their distractions from the
District Treasury. This can hardly
be called satisfactory. The President
promptly removes the honest engineer
Cluss for the offence of exposing the
iniquihes of Shepherds administration
and proves his good opinion of the
latter by taking him as companion on
a visit 10 Cape May and now Con
gress is asked to confirm the justice Of
this singular tavorllism by paying
Shepherds debts and saying no more
about it.

Indian Peace Commission have now
resigned. -Four withdrew from time
to time during the earlier years of its
short existence, evasively stating the
difficulty to be lack of time to attend
to the duties, and the remaining six,
after seeing their new colleagues sub
sidized by Office and pay from the In.
terror Department and vainly strug.
Cling against the influence ofthe noto'
rious Indian Ring, have finally given
up the contest in despair and asked
the President to filltheir places. This
may be regarded as the practical end
ofan experiment of the same class as
Civil Service reform. From the char
actcr of tie gentlemen who were prom
inent in the movement, and who have
acted, without pay or emolument. as
Commissioners, it must be conceded to
have been an honest effort to eradicate
abuse and establish consistent policy
Of peace. Bat whatever criticism may
be made upon the manner in which
the Commission has conducted its
work, it is evident that its failure is
due to the same corrupt Influences.
fostered by the Administration, that
have rendered Civil Service reform a
mockery. The Commissioners resign
simply because, after five years OF eu-
deavor, they find the Government it
self in league with fraud against them
The plain statement of their case is
that the Indian service is no place for
honest men.
The praise of the Presidents Indian
policy with which they temper the
rebuke of their resignation, is altogeth-
er Fictitious. OF this policy Gen.
Walker, who has had the best oppor-
tunity of judging says: "To throw
upon a dozen religious and benevolent
societies the responsibility of advising
the Executive in the appointment of
Indian agents is not q policy. To
buy off few bands more insolent than
the rest by a wholesale issue of sub
sistence and Che lavish bestowal of
presents is the mcrest expediency, and
not a policy" But this plan. condemn
ed in its fundamental principles as in
efiicaclous, is deprived of all its small
merit by the inherent corruption OF
the Government that pretends to carry
it out. In so many words the Com
missioners tell the President that it is
useless for them to examine accounts
and vouchers, since the Interior De
partment disregards proof of fraud a
gainst the Ring and its agents. Hon,
WIN. E. Dodge, one Of the resigninG
Commissioners, ADDS few explana-
tory details. He relates the manner in
which contracts have been given out
to persons whom it was desirable to
avoid,' in spite of the orders Of the
Commission of Il continuance OF the
Old frauds in supplies; and Of the oil
rect interference of the interior De
partment in paying bills which the
Commission disapproycd Ii is use-
less to aver that "President Grant is
right at heart in view Of this test
mJny. The President has sustained
the Ring by making appointments and
removals at their dictation, and is re.
sponsiblc for the details as well as the
general principles of this 50 called
policy. TIE Compassion has failed,
as every Commission of honest men
must fail, when brought in contact
with powerful aud rapacious Ring
sustained by the Government. aud a
policy that is no policy,--Boston Post.

Judge Asahel Peck, Of Jericho, for

Chelsea, for Lieut.. Governor, and re

stereotyped resolutions were adopted
by the Convention, endorsing Grants

did not dare this time to :"approve" or
"most heartily endorse the Prohibit

ator Edmunds made speech which
was full of statements that the finan-

not back up, even if he himself was
fool enough to make them.
