in a whirlwind. Instead Of pocketing
this gross insult. instead of condoning this
fraud. the democratic party must exhibit the
natural indignation of honest men against
rogues who attempt to swindle them out
of their rights and degrade political con-
ventions into a swindling farce.
To be sure, the reassembling of the Con-
vention will be attended with dangers
There might be disposition on the part of
some of its members to wash great deal of
dirty democratic linen in full view of the
public; but even this would be lesser evil
than an Endorsement of the fraud and false
hood perpetrated on the party by its
faithless committee at Saratoga We
do not deny that it happens in pol
itcs, as in private life, that false steps seem
to create q necessity for others. But this is
a mistaken calculation. If man be over
taken in q fault the wisest, as we'll as the
most honest course, is to make q frank con-
fession and do better for the future. This
is more emphatically true Of political par
ties, whose follies cannot, like those Of in
dividuals, be veiled from observation. 1t is
always wise to do what is right and calmly
await the consequences. This is especially
true of the democratic party in this unfor-
tunate crisis. 1t is not the party at large, it
is not even the Convention, that is to blame
for the falseheod and scandal that threatens
to be so ruinous, but only q small knot Of
intriguing individuals. The right thing for
the party to do is to repudiate these trick
sters and act on its own honest views. If
shamelessly abused should be reassembled
and put back in the Same posi-
ton in which it would have stood
if Mr.. Seymour's refusal had been
honestly communicated last Thursday it
would probably act with moderation and
discretion if all the recent candidates for the
Governorship would make an unqualified
withdrawal. If they return to reassert their
claims there will of course be a grand wash
ing of dirty political linen; but if they all
stand nloof and insist on the nomination Of
an entirely new candidate the Convention
may go smoothly through its work on re-
assembling. Any respectable new candidate
on whom Governor Tilden, Mr.. Seymour, Mr..
Herman and three or four other leaders can
agree may easily be nominated within half
ON hour after the Convention reassembles
and even if he should be a weak man (for
which there is no necessity the party would
be in far better condition than it could be
by making itself an accomplice Of fraud and
falsehood by keeping Mr.. Seymour in the
field against his consent.

The Centennial and the Public
Health.

In another column we print one Of many
communications we have received on the
subject Of the effect of visits to the Centen-
topic to which we call attention, because we
do not feel at liberty to ignore it, and
because, also, we are Of opinion that it's
proper consideration will not do any harm
to the great enterprise, while it may impress
upon the public mind some few neces-
sary precautions, and, what is perhaps
of even greater importance, may in.

heat, which was more severely felt at the
Exposition grounds than elsewhere-as il
that spot were in the focus OF the great burn
ing glass into which the fr nament seemed
converted. With the cooler weather thai
source of trouble is removed. There il
little doubt, however, that the greater num-
Der Of cases of illness brought from Phila-
delphia are due to malaria and this cause
of trouble is most to be apprehended in tho
pleasant autumn weather. In this we dd
not refer to cases of typhoid or quasi-typhoid
fevers brought from the militia camps
of the grounds near the Centennial
They are due to causes that always
prevail in camps-the exposure. the
transition Of temperature from night to
day, the Indifference of large bodies Of mer
to personal cleanliness and the utter absence
of an efficient camp police. The water Of
Philadelphia is bad-perhaps malarious
The city is full of odors which suggest that
the sewers are ineffective. Indeed, though
Philadelphia is famous for its cleanliness,
and though it is as clean and trim super
fcially as q Quaker DANES cap, its filth ap-
pears not to be carried away, but only to b
thrust into the corners, there to reek unseen
and poison the air though hidden. But the
air of the worst corners in the city is mild
compared to that which may be smelled al
certain points in the Centennial grounds.
At the grounds also the water is bad, and
the ~hole district is apparently malarious.

cautions suggested by the communication
above referred to.

the expectation of the great producers it is at
least contrary to all the gloomy prophecies
they have lately made, which assumed that
the lower prices of coal and lower wages
would result in extensive strikes, inter-
rupted production and higher prices.
As yet that danger is not apparent, for the
miners shrewdly judge that low prices will
make a demand that will keep the mines
steadily in operation, and they hope to make
more money with regular employment at low
wages than with higher pay and the frequent
of keeping up prices by arresting produc-

Yellow Fever.

There was death from yellow fever In
Brooklyn few days since, and permit was
given for the removal of the body for burial
through distance Of nearly three hundred
miles in this State, with all the dangerous
probabilities that are associated with such
transit and with the certainty that if the
coffin should be opened by design or acci-
dent on the route or at the end of it, and
that opening SHOULD coincide with a tenn
Perature fitted to propagate the poison, an
epidemic would be the consequence. Ap-
parently the physician who attended the
case, and who made ont the certificate of
death, was aware of the nature of the dis
ease, for he reported it correctly in his direct
relations with the Board, where his response
bility is distinct, but he disguised the case in
making out the certificate of death upon
which permit for removal was to be applied
for. This certificate was apparently made
deceptive with deliberate intention and out
of regard to the wishes of the frie nds of the
defunct, who were aware that they could not
obtain permission to take the corpse on such
o journey if the nature of the disease was
known to tho health authorities. Therefore
the disease was put in the certificate. not by
it's accepted name, but under cover of a name
derived from its presumed pathology. This
physician therefore defeated the intention Of
the law by an evasive return. and endeavors
to defend his act by such lame subterfuges
rs the pretence that the name yellow fever
is ut best only accidental. If there is no
law to punish this sort of delinquency our
health codes are defective

A VIsIr TO HE'LL GATE while the prepara-
tions are being made to demolish the for
midable reef at Halletts Point is well worth
the time and trouble expended. In view of
the destruction of this impediment to
navigation being fixed for an early
day we have received from General
Newton, the engineer, a very full ex-
preston of opinion, which we print
elsewhere concerning the effects likely to
be produced by the explosion. Nervous
mortals who own real and personal prop
erty within the circumference Of mile
from the centre of explosion are dubious as
to the result of the big blast, and manifest
considerable anxiety as the day draws
near when Hallett's reef shall be no
more But General Newton tells us with
all the calm confidence of scientific man
that there is no danger. A curious thing
however, may happen, and he warns us in
time about it. Although no cuts or bruises
may be suffered by the residents of Astoria,
yet, unless they leave their dwellings during
the explosion they may each have piece Of
plaster on their heads Ceiling plaster, of

The WKATEER.-As announced in ycster-
days HERALD another area of low pressure is
approaching from the westward, and we shall
again experience some days of warm weather
during its passage. At present this area is
central in the territory between the Missouri
River and the Northern Mississippi, and
may pass from the lake region into Can
ada without creating serious atmospheric
disturbance in New York State; but we are
inclined to believe just now that KS track
will be more to the southwark, and conse-
ouently we will be likely to feel its
influence on Tuesday next In the mean
time the temperature will rise and the
winds shift to southeasterly and southerly
points. From the conditions prevailing on
the Gulf coast we infer that severe storm,
probably cyclone, is progressing in the
Gulf of Mexico. Although the force of the
wind in the southern latitudes is not very
remarkable its variations of direction are
certain indications of disturbance some
distance to the southwark. 1t is probable
the news will be received from Florida
during to-day or tomorrow of storm in
that State. To-day the weather in New York
will be warmer and partly cloudy.

perfect calm prevailing at Quebec and its
vicinity at the hour the fire must have been
making its rapid progress, but at Montreal

thirty miles east-northeast of Montreal it

Of smouldering ashes that were once wooden

MASSACHUSETTS PoLrTIcs are becoming
lively. There is opposition in the republi-
can ranks to the denomination of Governor
Rice, while the democrats are undecided
whether to nominate Mr.. Charles Francis

its effect outside of the State.

Tho Bulgarian Atrocities snd Eng
lish Policy.

The whole truth about the Bulgarian
atrocities was long withheld from the world.
but the part of it already revealed almost ex-
ceeds belief If We are to believe the reve-
lations Of the London Daily Ne,os, which we
reprint to-day, the Turks are capable Of any
barbarity. Even Sitting Bull would be
ashamed to commit the horrors which
Achmed Agha and his band of bashi- -bazouks
committed at Batak. These demons made
dren- Babies were carried on their bayonets
through the streets Young girls were kept
for days to witness the slaughter of
their friends-to submit to fate even
worse than death and to be massacred
in the end Such barbarities wero never
before enacted in any land under the sun
1t is impossible to conceive Of soldiery so
degraded as to be capable of enacting
them. Yet all the horrors which this story
relates were committed by the Turks upon
the defenceless inhabitants of Batak-old
women and young girls, and even babes
in their mothers arms.
We sincerely believe that the picture
which we reproduce this morning is not over
drawn, and being true it imposes a duty
upon the European Powers which they have
never seriously contemplated-the oblitera-
ton of the Ottoman Empire. II Moham-
mechanism promotes such CHASTITY horrors it
must disappear from the world A creed
part Of its plan of salvation cannot
be allowed to exist. In the present case it
would not have lasted SO long if England
had not defended and promoted it, and
these atrocities would never have been COM
mitted if the Turks had not felt that the
English intidels would defend them, right
or wrong. In sending a feet to Besika Bay
Mr. Disraeli took no precautions to prevent
the horrors which followed this act of un-
necessarily friendliness toward Turkey.
Now that the truth is becoming known Lord
Beaconsield suffers from the heedlessness Of
Mr. Disraeli, and the tory Ministry can
scarcely fail to fall before the heart and con-
science of England. At no time has the
support of Turkey been congenial to the
English mind. 1t was policy Of state
craft at all times offensive to the
people, and now that the atrocities
which this policy has encouraged have
been revealed the impression it is making is
profound. No Ministry could long Withstand
the public indignation which has been
created by these revelations Mr. Barring
and Sir Harry Elliot are both accused Of
Withholding the truth, and it is even limited
that Lord Beaccnsfield was careless in ascer-
tanning it. The press has taken up the sub
ject and is dealing the Ministry many heavy
blows Indeed, SO great is the feeling ex-
cited by these revelations that Lord Beacons-
field IS downfall is not improbable, as much
from his jocose method of dealing with
these horrors in Parliament as because of the
blunder of his Ministry in supporting the
Turks with an English feet. These atroci-
ties are in themselves sufficient reason for
the extinguishment of the power of the
Porte, and the sooner it is done the better it
will be for the rest of the world.

Tho Sermons Yesterday.

The warm August days, with their ripen-
ing heat, have passed away and the harvest
stands ready to be gathered. The labosers
are hurrying back to the fields and vineyards
to collect the golden fruits Of their toll Of
the springtime before the chill winds can
harm them, and to prepare the ground for
the reception of new seed for the coming
year. This will serve to illustrate the con-
dition of the religious. as we'll as that of the
material, world to-day for perusal of our
church reports of yesterday show that the
pastors pre fastening home from the scenes
of their repose by the seaside and on the
mountains to resume their labors in the
vineyards of the Lord The poor we have
always with as. We have no occasion
to chronicle their coming and going, except
perhaps when they first appear in our midst
and when they leave us forever. But the
wealthy, like the delicate birds of passage
that come to our woods and fields in tho
springtime and depart again to their tropi-
cal homes at the first breath Of approaching
winter, come and 60 with the seasons. Just
now the time of fashionable migration has
begun, and rustling silks sweep the long
vacant church aisles and pews, and the
broadcloth of well-to-do religion may be
seen at all our churches. So pass the
shadows over the dial. Men and women,
rich and poor, come and go like the buds
and flowers of spring and the scar and
withered leaves Of autumn.
Father McCauley at st. Stephens church
and Father Quinn at the Cathedral
preached impressive sermons on the
miracle of the leper, and argued in favor
Of the necessity of puri6cation from the
leprosy of sin by the aid of faith in Gods
goodness and of the sacraments which He
has instituted. At the Thirty fourth street
church the Rev. Carlos Martyr spoke on the
subject of public worship, taking as his text
the words, ''We will not forsake the house Of
our God" At the Eighteenth street Metho-
dist Episcopal church the Rev. w. F. Hat
field showed how grateful and obedient man
should be for Gods overshadowing care.
DR.. Clapp, at the Broadway Tabernacle, en-
couraged his hearers in persevering in their
efforts to win the crown which Christ prom
ises to His followers, and at the Church Of
the Holy Trinity the divine sentiment,
BLESSED are the peacemakers," was elo-
quently dwelt on by the Rev. Mr. Tying. Jr.
DR.. Wilson, at the Asbury Methodist Epis-
copal church, spoke on the unity of the
faithful in Christ and on the changelessness
of God. The Rev. Mrs. Anna Oliver, at the
First place Methodist Episcopal church,
Brooklyn, preached statistical sermon
on the Condition and Needs of Brooklyn
and New York." and presented a startling
array of facts and still more formidable
one of figures in support of her statements.
Mr.. Talmage preached Characteristic ser
mon, full of religious chaf, but with some
grains of truthful sentiment scattered through
it, on his return to his pulpit.

have thus far come to naught. AS the vari-

public were out of their reach at least they
had the miners in q corner. If they could
