With many persons the trip from the At
lantic seaboard to the Rocky Mountains has
no longer the charm of novelty, but the story
of incidents and observations on such trip,
given in Denver letter printed on another

A Journey by the Sultan of Zanzibar TO
England is not an event of great political i'm
portance. better acquaintance with the
habits of civilized life may, however, cause
some modification of his ideas about slavery
and the slave trade If this should happen, the
Journey would have at least one good result.
1t appears that besides doing the State some
service James II. IngersOll has private ac-
count to settle, now that he is out of the Peni-
Tertiary. The arrest of Eugene A. Heath on
a charge of perjury is the first step IN an ell
fort to prove that Ingersoll was convicted on
false testimony. He has hard work before
him, but no one should object to a fair hearing
of his cause.
The trial of Philip dwell, in the Court OF
Over and Termner, for what is called the
"shantyr murder, presents the somewhat sin
gular feature of the chief witness for the
prosecution and the defense united in the same
pcrson-the prisoner at the bar But the jury

prisoners statement for they found him guilty.
He convicted himself.

placed il where it would do the most good.
The declaration was made i'll such way that
iurymcn could take it to themselves, if they
chose.
A large number of our prominent civil en-
gineers are assembled in convention at Pitts
burgh. In the correspondence from that city
which we print to-day, there is the cheering
news that the iron industry is recovering from
its recent depression. The smoke hangs as
thick as ever over that city, and her fOrges
are in full blast. Some interesting details of
the mode in which the work of constructing
the East River Bridge is carried on, form part
of the proceedings of the meeting.
at West Point has chosen wise and manly
course in admitting the existence of the abuses
which the Board of Visitors have discovered
in the management OF the Academy. If the
Superintendent cooperates with the Board in
pursuing the investigation, reform will be at
tanned with less difficulty than might other
wise be anticipated. The trouble seems to
have been chargeable to the subordinate officers
of the institution, and the causes do not lie
too deep to be reached by ordinary methods.
If the Harlem Flats nuisance is not abated
it will not be for lack of protests against its con-
tinuance One of the strongest complaints yet
made was that presented to the Grand jury
yesterday by large number of physicians
whose practice lies in the neighborhOOd of the
infected district. These gentlemen confirm the
worst that has been said of the balcful in
fuences of the refuse deposited on the flats.
The complaint is properly brought before the
Grand Jury and it is to be hoped that, while
other agencies are trying to find and apply
remedy, this body will let us know exactly
