The sun glarcs upon the streets and piers {;
the city is full of dust and rattle and decayed
frnit smclls,-and through ard away from all
this discomfort the solid citizen gees every
afternoon. Lean, nervous, prosperous middle
aged men and old-iaccd youths ill with fatigue
and evening papers and smoke the boats and
trains and find haven if not ease in the round
about popular inns. They 90, hut they return.
Orlando at evening courts the welldresscd
Ro-alind in the heavy intervals of the
hotel hop; cheap Jacques unfolds his
second hand philosophy and wanncd-over Gym
icism on the lawn or the beach; and Oliver
ON the piazza, discusses with other sound bank
crs aud brokers and importers the state of
trade or the ways of stocks, and has little
thought for his Celia sosspng with the other
women, or for their babies dancing in silks
and laces under the great chandelier. Com
mOnplaees, good clothes, back biting, the slang
of Wall IT, and the Beautiful Blue Danube
decorate these cool, moonlit hours. Then back
again in the morning to the glare and the noise
and the dust and the elderly bananas and
immature peaches come the old men and the
young, and counting-housc aud office swallow

REBELLIOTS UONEI.

The report of commercial failures for the
first half of the year 1873 possesses peculiar
interest. We commend it TO those Columbian
orators who, after two weeks OF study,
ripcned into Columbian fnancicrs, and de-
manded ipfation as remedy for commercial
and industrial disorders.
TO appreciate its meaning fully, we must
remember that we were told, by multitude
of great statesmen who believe in an Amer
% lean system of fnance"-though they have as
yet strangely neglected to PROFOUND an Amer
lcan law OF gravitaton-that the panic was
caused by lack of currency. They declared
that all the country needed was more money"
that too much of our currency was locked up,
by certain mischieyOus provisions of law
regarding reserves, III the vaults of the banks,
and that the one thing needful was to unlock,
expand, and initiate. We tried their panacea.
Congress passed AN act which. as Senator Nor
ton said, would unlock forty millions Of cur
"rency," then required to be held a. a reserve
against circulation. The same sagacous meas

amount of $55,00O,000 should DO ISSUED

sGOODS ron THE CENTENNIAL.

Information was sent out from Washington
Wednesday night that the Secretary of the
Treasury is inclined to arrange for the free
importation Uf goods for the Centennial
Exhibition, provided they are consigned TO
the Collector at Philadelphia, and accompanied
by the proper aGdavts AS this curious
statement is likely to embarrass and confuse
foreign exhibitors with the idea that it is
necessary to enter their goods at the port OF
Philadelphia and perhaps even TO deter many
foreigners from exhibiting at all, under the
impression that there is some uncertainty
about the remission of the duty, il may be
as well to explain how the case really stands.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has 30 dis
erection in the matter, all goods intended for
the International Exhibition being admitted
free Of duty by virtue Of the Act of Congress
Of June Is, 1874. Nor is it necessary that
they should he entered at Philadelphia. The
official regulations for foreign exhibitors, pub
lished by the DirectOrGeneral of the EXhib-
ton, give the following summary of the ar
Engagements made by the Treasury Department
in compliance with this statute: Products
brought into the United States AT the ports
" of New York. Boston. Portland, Me-, Bur-
lington, VT, Suspension Bridge, n. T., De-
" troi,, Port Huron. Mich, Chicago, Pha-
deiphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, New-Orleans,
"and San Francisco. intended for display at the
international Exhibition, will be allowed to

"proper supervision of customs officers, without
examination at such ports of original entry,
" and at the close Of the Exhibition will be al
lowed to go forward to the port from which
"they are to be exported. No duties will be
"lcvicd upon such goods unless entered for
- consumption in the United States

THE TUTEU f.fSE.

There has been disposition to make light
of Mr.. Charles O'Conoi's melancholy piedic-
tons during the last year, and to imagine
that the failure Of his plan OF attack upon the
Tweed Ring has wrongfully cmbitterod his
feelings towards portion Of the jnsticiary of
the State, and filed his mind with basclcss
fears and unjust suspicious. But if many more
niishaps hciail the people III their suits To pun
ISL the gigantic pccuations of the Ring period
and recover the money stolen from them,
We shall all begin to share Mr.. O'Con0r's SEN
timcnts. After all these years of effort we
have accomplished little or nothing. The
chiefs of the great conspiracy, all except one,
have made good their escape to foreign lands,
where, broken and wretched as several of
them may be, they at least manage to hold
whatever remnant of their il-got fortunes
they could scrape together before their flight.
The worst rogue of the whole gang IS re-
leased from the pcnitentiary after a little more
than years confinement, because the Court
of Appeals decides that he was only convicted
of Il petty misdcmeanor. The civil action for the
recovery of the stolen property is in danger Of
falling to the ground through the decision of
Judge DOnohue that tho defendant j. entitled

correspondent writes us, denouncing Dir. OConor
for his letter about the Court of Appeals. ana de-
handing his punishment for what is described as
unquc.tionably the most striking case Of contempt
of court ever known in this country" We do not
know about that. Mr.. O'Conor says substantially
that the court relied argument of his own
which il had itself subsequently Overrulcd; where
upon he hints at improper motives, and mentions
that there are ways of purifying the bench If these
things are true, they ought 10 be said. and
Mr. O'Conor Of all men in New-York is
the man 10 say them. If they are not true.
it is q contempt of facts rather than OF
the court. of which SIr. OConor has been guilty,
and that is sort of contempt which carries its own
punishment with it, On the whole. we rather think
that the storm of abuse which Mr.. OC0nOr has
aroused may he interpreted as indicating that his
shot went to vital part. At any rate it is time for
a little less talk about contempt of court and for a
little more about keeping courts above con-
tempt When We see whether all our law and all
our courts are unable to punish the greatest thief Of
the age, we shall know how much or how little con-
tempt to feel for them.

Mr.. John Lee Carroll who has just been
nominated for the G0vernorship of Maryland,
worthily sustains the name and honor OF a
historic family. He owns The old manor OF
the Carroll of Calrollton, and until within a
few years past has been mainly known as a
cultivated and hOsptable country gentleman.
His career a. Speaker of the senate has been
highly creditable, aud there can he no doubt
that he will make an admirable Governor.

and sllstans his charges by details that cannot
fail to command attention. The remedy for
misinanagemcnt he believes will he found in
part at least in placing the business in the hands
of few competent persons whose compcnsa-
ton should be- sufficient to secure their inter

is abundant to show that a radical change of
some kind is needed, and that without delay.

Mr. Abram Wakeman. IN protesting the other day
that he was not one of those men who. to cite tho
language of Mr.. Alvorl, "would take 81 from their
victims and spend 10 cents actually at Albany was
not understood to deny that he received money from
the steamship companies to procure legislation in
their interest; the contrary, he declared that
whatever he got from them he earned by legitimate
services He now insists that none of the $4,000
raised by the companies to prevent an increase Of
the hea,l-money came to him in any way. Mr.. Will
liams of the Williams & GuiOn line, however, had
an impression that Mr.. Wakcman was employed in
the business, and Mr.. Schwab, the agent of the
Bremen line, gave the following testimony: Sew
cral thousand dollars wore pail to Abram Wakcman

money was collected by Mr. Sanford, who paid it

The laws delays are proveIbially notorious.
The testimony ofAndrcw Pennoyer yesterday,
before the Assembly Committee, which is III
vestigating crime in this city, goes to show
apparently that police delays in arrcsting panel
thieves have sometimes been fully as remark
able Few will be found to applaud the deli
cacy Of feeling which, it is stated, prevented
Detective Dunn from interfering i'll a matter
which other dctcctivcs-who if not remiSs had
been singularly unsucceSsful-wcre working up,
when such interference promised the arrest OF
one of the thieves. Mr.. Pcnnoycr's story may
do coed in one way al least. 1t is Il
very forcble excmpliGcation of the Scrip

but particularly of Great Britain, to take part

of the invitation by the maIkslnen at Wimblc-

The Saratoga papers dislike references to Mr. Nor
risscy in connection with the regatta. Their deyo-
ton to local interests naturally leads them to sup
press Mr.. Morrsscy far as he can be suppressed,
and ignore him so far he can he ignored. Never
theless the fact remains that his gambling house
was nightly crowded with students, the number
present at one time the night of the University
race being roughly estimated to exceed 100. 1t
would be much wiser for Saratogians who desire the
continuance of the regatta on their waters to rem
edy this state of things than deny its existence.

Coy. Fletcher and his associates see no i'm
propriety in undertaking the trial of their
official chiefs; and the Governor apparently
thinks it right, pending this trial, to describe
in a public card the elaborate statement lately
published in these columns as " the charges
"and insinuations of Prof. Marsh" The
anmus of the Commission seems clearly re-
vealed in this phrase. and the public
can judge for itself Just how far they are in
yestigating to find out BY the way, we heard
good deal, last Summer about the impro-
priety of an accused mans appointing his own
Committee to investigate the accusation. The
topic is timely again, but We do not find the
same journals displaying as much alaciity
about taking it up as before.

Under strong provOcation, MIR. Plimsol mas
injured good cause by an exhibition OF bad

former efforts for the protection OF seamen :;
and we have, on this account, especial reason
to regret his present conduct.

TENEMENT HOUSES. There is con-
slant demand in Winnemucca for ten
ement houses to rent, and the number
of houses unoccupied is invariably
quite limited. Families are constantly
arriving here. some of whom would
prefer renting, to building dwellings,
if any could be had. There is not to-
day an unoccupiei dwelling house in
the town Of Winnemucca, and the in.
quiry, " Do you know of house that
is for rent in town." is Of daily occur
renee. There is splendid opportu-
nifty here for some person with few
thousand dollars capital to strike a
bonanza by building a half dozen
cottages for the purpose of renting
them. This will not only prove a pro-
fitable investment to the person who
engages in it, but viii be a great con-
venienco to those DESTROYS Of making
this place their home, and will be
benefit to the citizens of the town gen
orally. The business prospects of
Winnemucca are better to-day than
ever before. New mining districts to
the north are being developed, the sup
plies for which, if not purchased of
the merchants here, will be shipped
from this point, and for the conve-
nieuce of those wishing to make their
homes here there should be more ac-
commodations in the way of comfort
able dwelling-houses, which may be
rented at reasonable rates.
