The Boat Races.

PHILADELPHIA, September 2.-In the
double scull race the Atalautas won the
first Uuion Springs won the second and
Northwestern the final heat.
At the signal Yale started off first, COlum-
bia second and Cambridge last. At the
head of the river Yale and Columbia were
on even terms, but Cambridge pulled
was only about quarter of length ahead,
but as the bridge was sighted Yale gained q
length and started over toward the eastern
shore, compelling the other two boats to
cross over also to avoid their back wash.
Cambridge was unfortunately steered past
the flag buoys and got into the weeds
on that side, and SO lost deal
of ground. Columbia, the second boat,
did so too, but pulled right through the
weeds to the eastern shore. In passing the
second flag the starboard oars of the Cam
bridge struck it, but they pulled on until
lust below the mile point, of Rebecca's
Well. Here Mr.. Close suddenly fell back
in the boat in fainting condition, and was
taken on board the press boat. The race
from now to the finish was tight one be-
tween Yale and Columbia, but Yale passed
in 92l. The Yale crew were greeted with
cheers at the finish, having won the prize
contributed by Mr.. Childs.
The final heat of double SOULS was rowed
between Atalantas. Rogers and Ackerman,
and Union Springs, Courtney and Yates.
This resulted in q victory for Union
Springs, who cleared the course in 9:5214.
followed by Atalantas in 9:54. Thus to
Union Springs Club belong the prize cup,
contributed out of the funds collected by
the regatta committee.
S. F. Guilston, captain of the London
Rowing Club, writes to the regatta COM
mittee, declining further competition at the
regatta on account Of the treatment they
had received.
The committee replied they had nothing
to regret in their treatment of the club,
| and that all decisions had been in accord
ance with the laws Of boat racing there.

In from the Sea.

Twas ever thus. No sooner has public
credulity been worked up to the sticking
point; no sooner have Mr.. Bayley's skill
fully prepared letters been received and &C.
cepted as meaning to say that there is
twenty foot channel through the jetties; no
sooner do Captain Eads and q select party
of guests prepare for . triumphal entry
from the sea through this new pathway for
the commerce of the world, than there oc-
ours something to spoil the whole thing.
Three thousand newspapers printed in
Northern and Western cities have within
the last two weeks declared the jetties
completed success. Many rods of
editorial have been written on them, and
tons of type have told the story to those in
nocent people who look for truth in news
papers. Saturday morning the steamer
New Orleans was to arrive, with Captain
Esds and party. The pass that vas open to
the commerce of the world would certainly
wash with it's waters her welcome hull.
But later comes the homely and unroman-
tic facts, obtained from one of her officers
The steamer arrived at the jetties at half
past six O'Clock Friday night. Pilot Fran
els boarded her, and informed her officers
that there was not water enough for the
steamer to go through South Pass. The
steamer was drawing thirteen feet six
inches forward and sixteen feet six inches
aft. She then went on to Southwest Pass,
came over the bar, stopped at the head o1
Captain Eads' plantation to permit him
and party to be transferred to the steamer

to take them to the city of Port Eads, where
they arrived safely. The steamer arrived
at her wharf in this city early in the fore.

The City of Norfolk. of the Morgan Line

ties about the same time, and went round
and came in Southwest Pass. She is now
at Quarantine Station.

The Brig Alice.

Some time since United States Shipping
Commissioner William Wright received a
complaint from Edward West, one of the
crew of the brig Alice, that he and his ship
mates had received no pay. The vessel was
abandoned in Havana, and most of the
crew came to this port. Colonel Wright
wrote to our representative, Consul General
Hall, at Havana.
Mr.. Hall has replied that he also had re-
ceived letter from West of Q similar tenor.
The brig was still there. Mr.. Hall had not
lost sight of the interests of the crew.
Some of the parties having claims against
the vessel have partially agreed to advance
the money due the seamen, but have not
yet done so. Mr.. Hall hopes to make some
such arrangement, that the matter may not
be brought into the courts, and payment
deferred indefinitely. He will do all in his
power to recover their wages. OF some
articles left on a British vessel, by two Of
the crew, he ascertained they had been sent
to them.

can readily understand how "great ex
element" would prevail in him.

The State Central Democratic Commit
tee, on Friday night, after protracted de-
bate, decided that they knew better what
the third ward wants than the people do
themselves, so rejected Mr.. Fitzpatrick by
q vote of thirteen to twelve, and the third
ward still remains unrepresented in the
grand council of the party.
So far as the facts develop to the public,
Mr.. Fitzpatrick has at some time, or in
some manner, given aid and comfort to
certain Republicans, or to some Republican
organization. This, then, is an unpardona-
BILE sin in q white man. 1t appears to be
made conspicuously SO by the earnest-al-
most frantic-appeals of these identical
Democratic judges to colored Republicans
to come into their organization.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick seems to have won warm
public sympathy by his manly and deter
mined fight. 1t is the only direct issue
which has been made and persistently
fought out between the aristocrats and the
people in this Democratic city. So far the
commonalty, through their representative,
Fitzpatrick, have been made to feel that
the silk stocking can conceal an iron heel
But we doubt if this act concludes the
drama.

Marshal Packard Resigns his Office.

Hon. S. B. Packard has transmitted to
the President his resignation of the
office of United States marshal for the Dis.
trict of Louisiana, which he has held for
the past seven years and q half, deeming
his further incumbency incompatible with
his position at the head of the Republican
ticket. He has addressed the following let
ter to President Grant:

New Orleans. August 81 1876.
To the President:
The fact that am . candidate for the
Office of Governor, in the approaching cleo
ton, renders it proper that surrender the
Office of which am the incumbent. l there

of the time under circumstances of extraOr.

Mr.. Adams, they will attack class Of
Northern citizens whose motives in regard
to the South are widely known to be those
of friends. The Independent Republican
participation in Southern politics, in fact, is
but the logical result of the Wheeler ad-
justment. 1t addresses to the Southern
Conservatives two simple, but all embrac-

These questions must now be answered
The Northern people want peace and they
mean reform. Will the Southern Con-
servatives respond to this earnest and
honest effort to secure both, and answer the
above questions in the interest of recon
ciliation and the overthrow of the party Of
hate and violence?

Reception of Faithful Services.

1t has been the regret of many Republi-
cans that Hon. U. II. Brewster, State Sena-
tor from Ouachita for the past four years,
felt constrained in the performance of other
official duties to decline q denomination.
The senatorial convention which met at
Monroe, August %, took the same view of
the matter and adopted the following reso-
lutious:
Resolred, That the Hon. o. Il. Brewster,
while representing this senatorial district,
has proven himself q true Republican and
an active and honest servant Ut the people,
and it was with regret that we heard of his
determination not again to be . candidate
for reelection to the Senate.
Resolred, That the Republican party of
the parlsh Of Caldwell do hereby indOrse
every action of Hon. 0. II. Brewster in his
capacity as Senator, while on the floor of
the Senate of the State of Louisiana, and
hereby tender him our thanks for the many
efforts made in behalf of his country and
constituents.
Mr. Brewster is Surveyor General of the
the State of Louisiana, and deems that po
sition incompatible with seat in the Sen
ate.

The Northern Independents and the South.

New YORK, August 26, 1876


The meeting of the national committee of
the independents" last night was an i'm
portant one. l mean the Republican Inde-
pendents, and not the "Greenback" or
Cooper and Cary independents" This
committee represents the party of reform
within the party which led to the nomina-
ton of Hayes and Wheeler at Cincinnati
and to Governor Morgan in this State. Its
objects are twofold:
l. Reconciliation between the South and
the North through the methods of peace.
2. The reform of the civil and official ad
ninistratiOn of the g0Aernment.
1t is this party which has rallied the Lib
ersl Republican vote around the names of
Hayes and Wheeler. Its action has Ger
tainly destroyed the hopes of the Confed
erate-D Democracy on the reform issue.
Even Governor Tilden's move among the
Germans is failing in its object because of
the moral influence of this independent or
reform wing of the Republican party. You
will not be surprised to learn, therefore,
that the Independents" are now medita-
ting special campaign at the South. The
idea is already gaining ground among it's
members that vigorous and determined
effort should be made to let all at the
South who really desire peace and reform
know that the Republican party is in earn.
est in this work, and that it possesses the
tried power to carry it out. The "Inde-
pendents" propose to throw away the
sword and the policy of force and to adopt
ttat of peace in their stead. This does not
weaken the executive arm or the constitu-
tional power of the executive. The Presi.
dent, standing on the constitution. is bound
to protect society from lawlessIess. But II
adds to this the tremendous moral Support
of q public sentiment and purpose stronger
than the law itself.
It will be seen that this move will con
front Southern sectionalism on issues and
through war which will make all forms o.
evasion simply impossible. The sectional
leaders may denounce Colonel Mosby snd
General Longstreet (both favorite officers o
General Lee) because these Confederate
Republicans support Hayes, and such de
nunciation may find favorable hearing q
the North. But when these same sectiona
leaders denounce William NJ. Evarts, vii

A special correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times fIlrnishAa fhA following:

Initiating tho Democratic Country Press.
A special correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times furnishes the following:
The Democratic committee of New York
has shown it's desire to furnish brains for
the editors Of Ohio rural Democratic pa.
pers, and is sending out each week half
sheet of paper. printed on but one side,
ready for the editorial scissors. This sheet
has New York letter, all ready for inser.
ton, column of matter marked "0rig aal
editorial matter" special paragraphs also
marked "original, and extracts from Dem
ocratic papers. At the bottom Of this sheet
is the following notice: ITO the editor
Nune of the matter on this sheet will be
sent to any other paper in your county, nor
to any paper IN any adjacent county whose
circulation will be likely to interfere with
YOURS. These sheets will be sent regularly
each week, and If not received ON the
proper day, you should notify us how many
GAYS earlier or later you wish to receive
them. This sheet goes to weekly papers
only"
With such paper as this, how delightful
q task it will be for our Democratic editors
to dish up spicy and original campaign
matter. But it is just possible that some of
these rural editors who have their own
ideas of journalism may not appreciate this
insinuatlon that they are not capable Oi
writing their own editorials, and will not
submit to yield their space to editorials
written by Eastern shoemakers for the spe.
cial use of editors in the provinces. 1 hal
the pleasure to-day OF seeing two OF these
ready reference papers which were sent oul
by Tlden's New York managers to Dem
ocratic editor, who, instead Of being graft
fed at this attempt to furnish brains fol
him, expressed his opinion very forcibly
He said it was quite too much like Tilden'i
attempt to secure his nomination by engsg
ing Bates & Locke to send ont Tilden no
tices for insertion ut 20 much per notice.

The Mexican Trading and Transportation
Company.

As an evidence of the renewal of business
confidence in Mexican as well as our own
affairs, resulting from the recent election of.
Don Sebastian LerdO de Tejada as President
of Mexico. our readers will find in another
column the notice required by our laws of
the incorporation of the Mexican Trading
and Transportation Company. The object
of the company as expressed in its articles
of incorporation is Ito foster and develop
social and commercial intercourse between
the republics of Mexico and the United
States by facilitating lntercommunicatio ton
through the introduction and sale of
through passenger tickets and bringing the
products, resources, business advantages
and attractions Of each to the familiar
knowledge OF the other"
When we consider that there is scarcely
production of the Mississippi valley which
is not in active demand in Mexico, and,
conversely, scarcely production of Mexico
which is not in demand in the United States,
and that to the tourist, seeking health or
pleasurable recreation, no country On the
with economy of time and expense. it is
surprising that this important subject has
not received earlier attention.
General Thomas A. Harris, who retired
from the editorial tripod of the New Or
leans Weekly Times on the first of January
last, has been giving his exclusive attention
to the Importance Of this subject, and has
accumulated an amount of statistical data
which carries conviction as to the valuable
service which may be rendered toward the
development of social and commercial re-
lstions through organized effort. We are
glad to perceive that he has associated
with him in his lsudable endeavor some of
the leading and most substantial of our
business men, whose names are the
synonym Of business success and in.

General Jack Wharton and others of New
Orleans. The general officers of the com
pany are located in this city, and We wish
the new company every success which its
prsiseworthy objects merit. We are in
