A Complaint from Southwest Pass.

1t is rumored that the bar and river pilots
have called the attention of some of our
prominent business men to the obstruction
Pass, caused by the works of the South
Pass Jetty Company. 1t would, no doubt,
be a great misfortune to rs just at this
season of the year to have our only navi.
gable outlet to the sea blocksded, or even
endangered, by these works, but to protest
against them would probably only force
Mr.. Eads into again shouting to his coun-
trymen that his benevolent plans were be-
ing interfered with. Such Q thing might
result in the abandonment of the South
Pass jetty contract, and furnish grounds for
claim on tie government for reimburse.
ment of all money expended on the work,
and in raising funds for its prosecution.
1t may be that the works complained of
are designed to give us, within q few
months, navigsble entrance into South
Pass from the river.
If 80, and they are allowed to become
successful, how much better it will be to
suffer patiently for short time rather than
embarass or overthrow those brave and
trusty spirits experimenting at their own
expense for the benefit of New Orleans and
the "great Mississippi valley" When we
consider that Mr.. Eads did not come here
to impede our commerce, in the interest of
the great transcontinental railroads, but to
build it up, and when we also consider his
great engineering abilities. We must think
that perhaps our pilots may not thoroughly
understand his plans, else they would not
fear the effects Of these plans.
To quiet all apprehension. it may be we'll
for US to ask Mr.. Eads to fully explain to
us what he is doing, what he proposes to
do, and what he hopes to achieve. This
will be better than intimidation or obstruc-
ton in the shape of protests against what
may really be intended for our good. We
are not expected to understand all the nice
ties of problem such as that Mr.. Eads is
dealing with. We must trust in the main
to "brains and money"

Another Large Fire In Houston.

On the night of the seventh instant Hous-
ton met with another disaster by fire. The

pastor addressed only thirty of the faithful.
Slimness was in fact the characteristic of the
church attendance yesterday. OF course al
lowance must be made for the number of
Christians who are away summering. Most
of our noted pastors have also shaken the
city dust off their feet, SO that the stranger
visiting New York on his Centennial tour
must not gauge our piety by our pews dur
ing the dogdays. To those of our Christians
who stayed at home instead of attending
divine service the sermons reported else
where will come as reminder that the
HERALD is not remiss in this respect, no
matter what the temperature. In the ad-
dresses of DR.. Dix, Dr. Hepworth Mr.. Blinn,
Mr.. Sweetser. DR.. Armitage and Mr. Bellows,
they will find food for solemn thought, and
in that Of Mr.. Fulton they will find warm
tribute to the Christian soldier who fell doing
his duty amid the savages but few days
ago.

The Custer Mon ument.


AS we note the various cadences of regret
and clear tones of admiration that come to
us from the subscribers to the Custer monu-
ment we are touched by the depth of the
feeling which the loss of the gallant soldiers
has awakened. We record elsewhere an ad-
vance of one hundred and thirty dollars
and forty-six cents in the subscription for
yesterday, bringing the total for a few days
work to nearly three thousand dollars.
Among the larger subscriptions there is one
of one hundred dollars from the Vokes fam
lily, and this brings before us once moro in
striking light the great generosity of the
profession to which these artists belong. In
addition to the handsome sums handed in
by Mr. Lawrence Barrett. the Vokes and othe
members of the theatrical profession, W.
observe that these artists offer theiI
further services in benefit performances
Their generosity should not be lost
upon the members of other profess
sions whose profits are less precarious,
and who should not leave the work of rails
ing q monument to Custer to few large
hearted gentlemen like Judge Hilton, a band
of kind-hearted actors like Mr.. Barrett and
tho Vokes, and the thousands of poor adj
mirers who. with their quarters and ten-cent
stamps, send whole mint of the kindliest
sentiments and the wish that their subscrip-
tions were a hundred times greater. We
ask all to do their share. The
multitude of small subscriptions re-
joice US exceedingly. They show that
the lesson of the death of the cavalry
men in the valley of the Little Big Horn has
sunk into the hearts Of the people, and that
they wish to see some enduring monument
of the deed and the cause for which it was
performed rise to teach our children that
peerless valor and death in the path of duty
are ever worthy of all honor. The
death of Custer was the climax OF
n story of bravery and devotion
extending over fifteen years, and
with incidents enough to furnish an
army with o reputation for all the manly vir-
tues Scattered over the land are thousands
of the gallant soldiers who fought by Gus
ter's side or under his orders. They should
make themselves the rallying points for sub
scriptions to this great national monument
Let their action in this cause be as swift AMI
brilliant as Clusters in the field. Let all
help according to their means.

The au.rrels of the Republican Leaders.

The republican party is not happy FAM
lily. Discord has begun the canvass. The
President is one of the most discontented
of its leaders, for he has found another un-
grateful man, and this is no less person.
age than the republican candidate for the
Presidency. When General Hayes was nom-
mated Grant telegraphed his congratula-
tions, and in return General Hayes, in his
letter of acceptance, not only refuses to re-
turn the politeness, but actually declares
himself for one term only. We hear TINT
Grant and his friends consider this an insult
to the President and an uncalled for rebuke
of his third term aspirations. Grant also
found Bristow treacherous, Jewell indiffer-
ent and Pratt honest, and has said, in apol-
ogy for their removal, that he intended to
have friends, not enemies, near him. Then
the politicians are indignant at General
Hayes views on civil service reform. These
ideas of reform they look upon, as Judge
Quinn looked upon the growth of the German
element in this country, with ''alar-r-um.' y
But the trouble does not end with the ad-
ministration. 1t has entered into New York
politics. Mr.. Conkling, it is said, is very
much grieved by the result in Cincinnati,
and, like Grant, is disposed to consider the
letter of General Hayes as intended to help
his opponents in the State canvass Unless
the State Convention should nominate Mr..
Cornell for Governor it is surmised that the
distinguished Senator will not take an active
interest in the battle but will remain, like
Achilles, in his tent, and let the Greeks cap
ture democratic Troy, if they can, without
him. This dissatisfaction on the part of Mr..
Conkling is believed to be increased by the
Of the National Committee and the choice of
Zach Chandler. There seems to be mutiny
all around the republican camp.
If this is the way the campaign begins
how will it end2 Quarrels like these do not
generally grow smaller. and the breakup of
the Cabinet just Mt this time and the division
Of the party in New York State may have
very serious effect upon the November elec-
ton. The great danger to the party is that
out of these and other differences may grow
breach between the administration and the
republican ticket. Such n breach would
strengthen Hayes with the people, but
would weaken him with the office-holders,
and it will need all the coachmanship the
republican leaders possess to make the good
stscd Reform" and the fast nag "Adminis-
tration" trot well together in harness in the
Presidential race.

THE DANGER AND THE REMEDY. con-
temporary, discussing the timely theme of
the weather, refers to the fact that the
Thirty-fourth street ferry is overcrowdcd
with funerals, aud that these are the victims
of deaths from sunstroke. We do not doubt
that many deaths may be attributed to this
cause, but at the same time more fer
tile cause of disease is found in the shame
full manner in which we manage our city.
Our sanitary arrangements are disgraceful.
Our authorities forget that they owe to the
people health and comfort. Every day we
have complaints of negligence, wantonness
and crime. If our authorities could be in
dicted for manslaughter in permitting the
spread of diphtheria and typhus fever the
people would applaud the jury that found
the verdict. This is the real cause of the
number of funerals that cross the Thirty
fourth street ferry, and until the evil is
abated the mortality will increase.

The POLITICAL STREAM. jean Ingelow, in
one Of her poems, describes two friends
standing on opposite banks of a small
stream which either one could step.
AS they walked along the banks it widened
more and more till neither could under
stand the others voice, and finally, when
The river poured it's broad waters into the
ocean, they were forever divided. BY the
head waters of such stream in republican
politics Grant and Hayes are now separated.
They are walking upon opposite shores, and
unless one OF them crosses soon they will
find themselves long before November with
an impossible food rolling between.
