SEPTEMBER GALES.

BEGINNING with the latter part of August,
the apnual record of great storms on our
coast usually shows marked increase in their
force and destructiveness as the Summer de-
parts. The old notion of equinoctial storms,
though still preserved by sailors and
farmers, has been pretty nearly aban-
doned by modern students of the weather.
He would be hardy man of science who
might venture to claim that the cyclone OF
Sept. II had anything to do with the Autumnal
equinox, or the entry of the sun into the con-
stellatioa of the Scales to-day. Yet the fact
that storms cluster somewhat nearly about this
period of the year, can scarcely be denied. 1t
seems to be rather different way of putting
the fact to say that the tropical cyclones start
in two belts surrounding the earth at an equal
distance from the equator, which they never
cross: that the trade winds, on their edges,
start the eddies which develop into revolving
storms: and that these cyclones in their for
ward movement, are chiefly Influenced by the
earth's revolution. All this may be true with
ont affecting the question whether the fire.
ouency of great storms at this period Of the
wear ia not in some measure related to the
change of seasons or in other words, to the
position of the earth in its orbit.
Excellent as is the work of the Signal Ser
vice Bureau, we have doubtless only arrived
at tho early stages of its capacity. Much has
vet to be ascertained respecting the laws and
origin of storms. 1t is capital Improvement
to be able to predict the weather for few
hours or perhaps days, at given station
But when q sufficient number of generaliza-
tlons have been attained; when we know bet
ter how and why and where storms originate ;
when far greater number of observations
has determined the periods of the year in
which each of these storms is to be antici-
pated, we may have an almanac of the old
fashioned sort, upon which we can with greater
safety rely when it says, about this time
expect wind and rain"
Meanwhile, however, an increase in the num-
Der of signal stations will doubtless render the
warnings of greater service. Along the Texas
coast, where such enormous damage has been
effected by the cyclone of the 16th-17th,
there were very few stations where, if the
violence of the storm had been anticipated,
timely notice would have been sent. 1t seems
as il there might DO some plan devised by
which cities, towns, even villages, that
by their position are at intervals exposed to
such visitations, might be apprised OF their
danger in time to prepare against it. The loss

The country is to be congratulated that tno

longs to the past Whatever may be Thought
of the highmindedness of Gov. Allen ana lib
yokefellow, there is no doubt as to where they
stand. Even on the bond question the Gov
eruor is prepared to face the music to the
sound of which he has for the last two months
been marching. Witness his declaration OF the
right to repudiate the gold obligation, anu
nav the bonds in greenbacks, as given In his
interview with The TRIBUNE special CORE
spondcnt, published yesterday.
Fortunately Ohio and Pennsylvania do not
constitute the whole Union. In population
they are just about all offset for New YORK
and Massachusetts,. We are willing that the
popular vote shall settle whether demagOglsm
will help the Democracy in the former states
more than honest leaders and honest princl-
pies have helped them and will help them In
the latter But Massachusetts, and New
York do not stand alone for honesty.
The Democratic platform in Illinois was
last year for hard money. ms year
tho Minnesota, Nebraska Wisconsin and
Maryland Democratic platforms have been
plain spoken in opposition to imitation. Cali
fornia, Oregon, Nevada and Texas, are known
to be as decidedly in favor of sound cur
rency as New-York and New-England. AS we
write we have before us 20 Republican and
Democratic platforms, which have been adopted
since the adjournment of Congress, and OF
these three only declare for initiation Gnclud-
ing the Pennsylvania Republican,, one Qowa
Dcmocratlc) is nOn-commlttal, and one (ken-
lucky Democratic) is silent, while the other
fifteen may be said, without violence to Ian
guage, to be in favor of hard money. The
Pacific States are not included in this enumer-
alton. The innatiOnists, communists, and re-
pudiatOrs take much for granted when they
assume that victory in Ohio (Which is by no
means assured to them) leaves them nothing
to do but walk over the course. The laws OF
God and the institutions of the country are not
80 easily to be subverted.

Mr.. GROW IN THE PENNSYLVANIA CAM
p/JCN

The Hon Galusha A. Grow, who has taken
little or no active part in politics since the
close of the war, is announced to speak on Sat
urday night in Philadelphia. Mr.. Grow repre-
sents a class of public men that has almost
become extinct-men of strong moral sense and
convictions, unselfish purposes, and patriotism
which overrules all considerations of personal
interest or partisan expediency. The long
struggle between freedom and slavery naturally
carried him to the front in the Republican party,
and when the war brought that controversy
to a close he withdrew from the arena
and has ever since devoted himself to
the care of his private business. In 1872, like
many others of the old and honOred Republic
can leaders, he gave his influence to the cause
of peace, Justice, union, and reform, repre-
sented by Horace Greeley; but his active par
ticipation in political affairs ceased when he
left the speakershp of the House of Repre-
sentatives with the respect of the whole nation.
1t is not to be supposed that Mr.. Grow has
any special sympathy with either of the parties
now occupying the field in Pennsylvania. BE-
tween the corruption of the Republican King
candidates and the financial rascaIities OF tho
Democratic platform, an hOnesb and sensible
citizen must stand in an attitude OF almost i'm
partial disgust. But Mr.. Grow in Pcnnsyl-
vania believes, with Mr.. Schurz in Ohio,
that when the honor of tho nation
is attacked by the fools and rOgues
of the imitation crew no good man can
hesitate. Wherever the currency question
is forced to an issue the duty OF
every lover of his country is plain, and the
riyalues of partisan politics and the
corruphons of local rings for the moment sink
alike into insignifcance. The Liberals and
independent Republicans have never been
anything else than hard money men, and it is
naturally to them that the Administration
party turns for help when it has got itself
into scrape.

TIE BUFFALO INDICTMENTS.

The indictment of George ID. Lord and others
for conspiracy, swindlng, and bribery is the
natural result Of the disclosures OF the Gov
ernOr's excellent Canal Commission, and there
is every reason to believe that a number or
other conspicuous operators more or less closely
connected with the Ring will shortly be ar
rested and bound over to take their trial
There have been so many fruitless investi-
eating committees of various kinds in past
years that the people have learned to look
upon their proceedings with indifference, and
to read the discriminating reports as the
standard literature of political campaigns An
inquiry which leads to actual arrest and prose-
cution is a novelty which startes the public
with pleasing and half incredulOus surprise
We may depend upon it, however, that these
cases will be pushed to an issue. The law
department of the State is in the hands OF
officers pledged to the destruction OF the Canal
Ring, and behind them is Governor who has
already shown not only that he is thoroughly
earnest in his crusade against public pecu-
latOrs. but that he understands the practical
method of reaching and cOnvicting them. The
fate of Lord and his associates therefore seems
to be settled.
Yet we cannot forget that other swindlers,
whose crimes were equally bold, and so noto-
rious that they are never even denied, have
managed to cheat justice of at least part OF
the debt they owe her. Tweed is out OF the
penitentiary, when only tenth part of his
sentence has expired, and is likely TO
escape with the whole of his stolen six mil
lions. And of course, if the rule which this
order for bill of particulars seems to establish
is allowed to stand, it will operate as bar to
any effective proceedings against Sweeny'
Connolly, and all the rest of the gang. we
must take it for granted, of course, that the
courts will decide according to law, and we all
admit that it is better for the guilty to escape
than for the law to be violated in the infection
of merited punishment But it has already
been shown in our columns how the Court OF
Appeals has interpreted, and we may almost
say made the law in spirit OF marked
benevolence toward the City Ring. Inc
people will watch with anxiety to discover
whether the Canal Ring is to be equally
fortunate.

There is melancholy shrewdness in the remark
of The Ne,r- Orleans Republican that Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams is likely to be nominated more and
elected less than any other man." Something in the
same way it used to be said of Mr.. Clay that the
people were ready to do anything for him except to
vote for him for the Presidency" The Adams fam
iy, with capacity enough for public affairs to quail
ify 900 Congressman of average standing, has
not been fortunate or unfortunate enough to be
"much elected" All its arts, it must be confessed,
have been manly arts" as Burke called them and
for this reason, perhaps, parties have never made
much out of it, has it made much out OF parties
It's fine succession-JOhn, John Quincy, Charles
Francis John Quincy r, the head OF the family LOT
century always a first-rate public character-ali
man not to be entirely relegated; sure to be called
upon in moments of great public emergency; equally
sure to- be neglected in times of political serenity.
Altogether it is cheering historical record, and will
make these men to be honorably remembered when
armies of the elected and the reelected have been dis
honorably forgotten. Why are the best not oftener
employed by a republic needing the nOblest OF SER
yicef All that question is more easily asked than
answered. Has MT it always been in moments OF
national life or death, at Athens at Rome. in En-
gland, in America, that the really great men have
come to the forei Was it not the Catilinian con-
spIacy, for instance, which made Cicero immortal
Yet need not despair Wnlle aDie men contlnue W
be "much nominated" even if they are rarely
elected 1t shows that the American people have
not forgotten the true standard of measurement,
though they may not always use it.
Mr. Ruskin brilliant and sound hearted as he u.s.
continually presents himself in the attitude of an
irate old gentleman bursting out of his den with
growl and cudgel. Is has apparently become
serious matter even to write to him. Reading in a
recent number of Fors ClariGera that he intended to
open a museum in Sheffield, an authority
wrote to tell him that museum was al
ready nearly completed which would gladly be
placed at his disposal This kindly offer appeared to
act like blister upon the inpatient sage. and he
Immediately refused it in note with this extra
ordinary conclusion: a great museum in the
present state Of the public mind is simply an exhibit
ton of the possible modes of doing wrong, and an
accumulation of uselessly multiplied uglness
IN misunderstanding nature. Our own museum
at Oxford is full of distorted skulls. Your Sheffield
irOnwOrk department will necessarily contain the
most barbarous abortons that human rudeness has
ever produced with human fingers The capitals Of
the iron shafts in any railway station, for
instance are things to make man wish, for
shame of his species, that he had been born
q dog or bee." Mr.. Ruskn hardly ever PUSHES out
upon the war-path without reason, but it must be
SAID that his voice is too loud and his gestures
too frantic to scare very greatly his intended
victims.

Mining Summary.

Mir. E. M. Pearce arrived from the Pinal Mountains on Wednesday, and from him we get the following:
 The Silver King has the main shaft down thirty feet, and the metal remains the same as at the top. This is one of the richest silver mines in the world, and of itself is capable of yielding an immense amount of bullion. In addition to the many tons of rich ores that have come out of the mine, there are several hundred pounds of silver nuggets, which require only the application of heat to reduce them to merchantable silver. The furna- ces of Hughes & Arey are now completed and a large amount of bullion will soon be made. The bonanza of the Silver King is in fact rich treasure, and if prop erly worked will produce an abundance of wealth for the owners and also for the outside world. In mining phrase, "there is enough In sight In it " to justify work ing on an immense scale, and no doubt the proper arrangements will soon be made.
 The Josephine mine is about half mile from the King and traceable on top of the ground for over a mile. Work will be soon commenced and a thorough prospect of the mine made. It Is believed that the developments will show something start ling in the way of rich silver ores. The top assays twenty-two hundred ounces to the ton.
 The Fernandez, also another traceable lead, has shown good ore and some native silver the past week. The Iron Horse is a southeastern extension of the Silver King, and will be prospected soon. The indica- tionS are remarkably fine. Without doubt some of the richest ores ever found are in the Pinal range, and when these great mountains are induStriOuSly pros pected as they surely will be, the civilized world will have much to say about the mineral treasures of Arizona There are no Indian troubles-nothing 10 prevent miraculous growth in wealth and popula- tion in the most favored, naturally, Of all the Territories.
 Several parties of prospectors are in the mountains above Florence; also in the Pi- nal range-eastern slope; and a company Is now getting ready to take a look in and around Superstition mountains,
 MT. Culver recently came in from Pinal , mountains and says he has what he re- i gards as valuable location on the Silver , King, which he is developing.
 The rains of the week in the Santa Rita have enabled the placer min- CTS of Smith district to resume taking out placer gold, and as elsewhere stated, Fred Hughes washed out $l00 in five days. 9th CTS are taking out at about that rate. {.

IT was telegraphed from San Francisco to San Diego and hence to THE CITIZEN, and generally published, that Miss Liz zie Wasson was passenger per steamer Orizaba with us on a recent voyage whereas the person was Lizzie Watson. When at Maricopa Wells last week, we furnished the operator a brief news dis stating the fact, but he failed to trans init it, notwithstanding our remark that as the telegraph had put the error III cir culation, it should correct it. The mat ter would not be worth mentioning, were it not to remind the operator that it was his duty to have sent that correction. Every erroneous dispatch misleads more or less people, and operators like other news reporters should cheertully and promptly correct errors when reliably in formed of them. The pleasant operator at the Wells did not originate the mistake, but he should not have hesitated to cor rect it under the circumstances. As be, fore said, this error is trifing, and our purpose is simply to remind the operator of his duty in this and similar circumstsn ces.
