1 Those who sail down our beautiful bay will
see here and there far of on the horizon be-
! yond Coney Island, or near the Highlands, or
beyond the sea that breaks on Sandy Hook,
white canvas flashing in the sunlight like the
wings Of gulls. Or as the idle traveller upon
the steamboats, that run from the Battery TO
Staten Island gnzes upon the sunset he
may hear the rush Of waters and see the
shadow thrown upon the waves as mighty
yacht bends lis masts to the breeze,
and passes by like sudden apparition
Of swiftness and grace. Or along the
pleasant shores of that fair island, which even
now with its forests looks to us as it did two
hundred years ago to the Dutch merchant
who had his humble home upon the shores Of
Manhattan, the traveller may see yachts, ex.
quisite in form and hghtness, quietly riding
at anchor like the albatross asleep upon the
sea. Everywhere the Bay Of New York seems
dotted with yachts Of all sizes and styles,
from the tiny boat which a zephyr might cap
size, to the majestic ship which seems to defy
the storm, and to have her destined march
upon the mountain wave her home upon the
deep
With such harbor with cruising grounds
SO fine, and with natural advantages which no
other American city rivals, it is not to be
wondered at that New York leads the yacht
ing interests Of the country. Our clubs are
numerous and we're never SO prosperous as
now The season this year has begun auspi-
ciously. Yesterday another event Of interest
was added 10 the list-that Of the Corinthian
sloop race OF the Seawanhaka Club. which
was won brilliantly by the Addie Voorhis
The entries we print for the regatta Of the
New York Yacht Club which is to be sailed to-
morrow, indicate another contest of unusual
interest The opening Of the yachting season
has been attended with all the spirit and
popularity the friends Of this noble sport
could desire, and there is every prospect that
1875 will become memorable in yachting
annals. A good breeze is all our yacht clubs
ask; that granted, they will supply all else
that IS required Themselves

erted his power by acting outside Of parties,
but with parties He has bad the courage to
boldly change his party relations in obedi-
ence to his sense Of the public interest, in
stead of lowering, as he is now advised to do,
on the outskirts OF both parties and demand
ing consideration for pretence Of neutrality.
The HERALD has always been willing to see
citizens take sufficient interest in public ques-
tions to enlist on one side or the other. and
has never perceived the necessity of coddling
a special class of Independent voters when
experience has demonstrated that there are
always citizens enough who have sufficient
patriotism to change sides whenever there
are strong reasons for putting the government
into new hands. Independent journalism
does not seek to annihilate parties or to es-
tablish balauce-of-power party, Of which it
seeks to be the organ, but simply to guide the
public Judgment in reliance on that large
body Of honest voters who have so
many times in our history elected and
rensated political parties Voters Of this
class have always been pretty well distributed
through both political organizations, and
their power IS exerted, not by standing alooi
from ordinary politics, but by frankly chang
ing sides when the public interest is betrayed
by tho party in power. 1t is sham indie
pendence, either in voters or journals, that
dares not support what is right lest Mrs.
Grundy should accuse them Of inconsistency.
It does lot e. appear which political party
will best deserve support in the next great
contest, but it is evident enough that there
will be only two parties to that contest and
that all citizens who contribute to the result
will vote with one or the other. The indie
pendent voter will not stand aloof, but act
with one OF the parties, and the most solid
proof he can give Of independence is by
openly voting with former adversaries If he
thinks it for the public interest. 1t is the
duty and province Of independent journal
ism to assist citizens Of both parties IN form
ing correct judgment

The American Team In Ireland.

Our rifemsn have been safely landed on
the shores Of Ireland. Populations from the
CORPORATION Of Dublin and from the Irish
Rife Association met them before they
touched land, and welcomed them in the
name Of the Irish people. That these were
no empty forms Of welcome was shown by the
enthusiastic ovation rendered the representa-
tives Of America by the populace. The tele-
graphic accounts say that 'the Americans
were escorted to Queenstown, and upon their
arrival met with an enthusiastic reception
from the population" Americans at all
times are sure Of kindly and hoepitable
greeting in Ireland but then it is evident
that the Irish masses look upon the present
occasion as Of peculiar importance and sig
nifcance. The gentlemen Of the American
team are not looked upon 50 much as oppo-
nents anxious to carry of laurels as the rep
resentatives Of a nation bound by ties Of
blood with the Irish people. Hence the
warmth of the welcome offered to the Ameri-
can rifiemen-a welcome that even kings could
not command. Whatever the result Of the
coming trial Of skill the visit OF the Ameri-
can team cannot fail to strengthen
the bonds Of friendship between the
two countries. II will also have ten
dency to remove many prejudices which
can be very wen dispensed with. Some Of
the experiences OF the Americans will perhaps
surprise them, but 10 a little while they will
become accustomed 70 the ways 81 the people
among whom they are thrown. Almost on
setting foot on land they had the honor 10 be
enlisted among the noble band Of ticket-of-
leave men. 1t being contrary to British law
Tor people to carry arms il Ireland, the police
authorities furnished the visitors Immediately
on their landing with licenses or tickets Of
leave to carry arms while they remain in Ire
land. This graceful little attention on the
part OF the London authorities will save the
/ Americans from tho danger Of being marched
\ off to jail by some oficious policeman. We
may, therefore, breathe freely, as oil danger
or political complications are at az end, and
there Is no longer any fear Of our British
cousins mis,aking the American team for 0

HUNo By MoB.-Lynching generally de-
feats its object, for it saves the criminal whom
it illegally Furnishes from the agony Of
suspense. 1t gives him but short and sud
den shrift The most appalling picture which
even the Imagination Of Dickens conceived
is that of Fagin in prison, counting the days
and hours before his execution. Nor can any
one imagine cruelty greater than that of the
cold, heartless process Of the laws, acting like
a merciless, soulless machine. We think,
therefore, that the men who forcibly took
from Jail at Annapolis, Md, the negro Simms,
and hung him in chains to a tree, actually
saved him from prolonged mental anguish
at the cost of brief physical pain Our
correspondence gives o full account Of this
useless act Of vengeance which defeated JUS
tice, saved the victim many days of uncer-
tainty and fear, and did nothing to
yindicate the unfortunate victim OF
his brutality. The captured Indian tries to
provoke his captors to kill him, in order that
be may escape the slow torture OF the stake;
and in this case an outraged society has rem
dered the wretched negro the last favor be
could nsk from ia speedy death.

may be said that 1t Is competent to parties to

that self-destruction by ON insane person is

sane or insane there is no repugnnncy, be
cause the insane man who destroys himself In
his insanity ''dies by his own hand" as liter
ally and legally as the man who puts an end
to his own life in full possession OF his reason
The Court of Appeals in deciding the case to
which we have referred, said that 1t was COM
petent no doubt for the insurer so to frame
his policy as to exempt him from liability for
a death accustomed by fit of insanity
Upon the whole. however, we are lncnneu
to think that the best course for life insurance
companies to pursue in regard to this particu-
lar cause Of death is to stipulate that they will
not be responsible in case of suicide, leaving
Il to the law to determine what constitutes
suicide. They would thus insure against
death inflicted by the insured on himself in
fit of delirium, just as they insure aSainsVs.
death by smallpox or any other disease and
