openly wonder how it came to grow out of

The lazy Summer visitor at Newport, when
he finds the charms of the drive exhausted,
may amuse himself by strolliDg into the Red
Wood Library, and looking at an old local
newspaper carefully preserved there, which
mentioned with some alarm the fact that last
week as many vessels arrived at the port OF
New-YOrk as at Newport itself, and seriously
warned the citizens Of the metropolis that il
they were not careful the busting village of
New-Y0rk might yet succeed in getting away
their trade. The average Newportcr laughed
at the croaking, and calmly held that the COM
mercial supremacy of Newport was secured by
its geographical position.
The average New Yorker laughs at all warn
ines now, and calmly assumes that the COM
mcrcial supremacy of NcwYork is secured by
its geographical position. Bat it may be
worth while for him to remember that
o. Baltimore succeeded some years ago in
getting away Our coffee trade.
(2) A few years later Custom house extor-
tons and transportation difficulties drove away
our metal trade.
81 Baltimore is gradually getting moro and
moro of our grain trade, and there is danger
that another fraction of it may be diverted to
Boston.
al The distance of Ncw-YOrk from the
seaboard is greater than that of some of its
ambitious rivals, so that this city has to con-
tend against natural disadvantages as well as
the shiftless neglect to provide the proper
terminal facilities.
The impetus NewYOrk has already gained
will carry it great way, but will not carry
it for ever. The present alarm has some sub
stantial grounds, and deserves more careful
consideration than it has yet received.

A few years ago the Apaches were the terror
of the South western border. Now Gen. Scho-
field reports that under the excellent manage
ment of Gen. CrOoke, these Indians are hard
at work learning the lessons of civilization,
and need only seeds and farming implements
to be kept in peace and industry. The
whole management of Indian affairs by our
War Department reflects great credit upon it.
The other problem which most puzzles army
officers, and is not so near its solution, is as
to what their duties are when they are sent
into Southern States. Gen. Emory complains
of the vagueness and unsatisfactory character
of his powers and duties in Louisiana. In the
present peaceful temper of the South we may
venture on the hope that the need OF bayOnets
there, and the questions raised by their pres
ence, will soon be among the things OF the

With the long, clear, and able charge of
Judge Humphreys in the Safe Burglary case,
we have probably come to The end of its
voluminous proceedings. 1t rests with the
jury to decide it, or to leave this immense
work to be done over again. To the many
readers whom the conflicting testimony may
have confused during the trial-and really
such confusion would be very excusable
even on the part Of jury this
charge of Judge Humphreys will come as a
great relief as it tells the whole story and
puts its parts together, without betraylng any
undue pa1tiality la fact, our readers will be
in about as good position as the jury to
form an opinion on the case, without the in
convenience of being locked up on the eve of
Thanksgiving.
