The WEArHER.-As predicted by the
HERALD the week opens with cool. refreshing
winds and a temperature SO delightful that
we can realize only now how fearfully warm
the weather has been during the past three
weeks. With the thermometer at seventy
five degrees we hear men complain of being
chilled This shows the suddenness of the
change and the contrast between the torrid
heat of last Thursday and the genial warmth
of yesterday. The storm which passed over
this city yesterday. the advent of which was
duly announced in Thursdays HERALD, gave
us sharp blow from the westward, with a
short but refreshing shower. We may now
look for some days of clear, cool weather,
during which we can recover in some meas
ure from the depressing effects of the heated
term.

Engl.nd's Escape from Humiiistio..


The correspondence on the Eastern ques-
ton which has just been published by the
English Foreign Office reveals jealousy
among the great Powers and at the same
time want of sincerity which do not augur
well for the future. The three Emperors
evidently have made up their minds to rule
Europe, and with them peace or war only
means the strengthening of their own power.
Out of this ambition comes the very remark
able attitude which England and Russia
have held toward each other and the equally
remarkable attitude of both on the Eastern
question. 1t is Russia which dictates the
Berlin note and England which rejects it.
Russia is disposed toward peace and is will
ing to persuade the insurgents to lay down
their arms. England, on the other hand, re-
fuses to interfere, and resents, with good
deal of impatience, the subordinate posi-
ton in which the Emperors would
place the Queens government Italy
apparently was the Power which
was to bring England to terms, and the
strangest part of this maneuvre is that, il
Italy had succeeded, England, by the act
alone, would have sunk to a third or fourth
place among the Powers of the world. II
the accomplishment of this end was not the
real purpose of the Berlin note it is difficult
to determine what its purpose was. 1t was
certainly not mere concession in the ill.,
terest of peace, and even if it had been &C.
cepted it is not likely its promises would
have been fulfilled. The intrigue was
simply meant for the humiliation of Eng.
land, and the correspondence shows how
narrow was the escape from that humilia-
tion 1t is in this view only that the pub
lished papers have any real importance, but
they are important rs showing the changed
relation of the great Powers. 1t is the
policy of the Northern Powers to degrade
the commercial and political supremacy Of
Great Britain, and now, although the danger
is revealed, it is clearly shown also that the
crisis has not been reached. Nothing can
be more surprising than that Turkey is to be
let alone in the future, while England is to
become the ''sick man" of Europe but the
discovery will give new interest and fresh
zest to Europe politics.

Tho Extradition Question.

Our London correspondent sends us the
last extradition despatch of Lord Derby, in
reply to Secretary Fishs despatch of May
o. which, by the way, is said by our Wash
ington correspondent to be the last commu-
nication of Secretary Fish to the British
government on the subject. Lord Derby
received this despatch, it seems, on the 9th of
June, and his reply is dated the 30th, so that
he took twenty -four days to consider the
matter. After oil he only does what the
lawyers call "confess and avoid" He gives
up the untenable position which he assumed
in the earlier parts of his correspondence, that
an act of Parliament is superior to a treaty
and may change its construction. He has a
good deal to say about the right Of political
asylum. which has nothing to do with the
present dispute, and about which there is
no disagreement between the two countries
he regrets the case of Heilbronn, and con-
veniently forgets the other similar cases
and, finally he remarks that, as the United
States did not like his new construction of
the old treaty, he had instructed Sir Edward
Thornton to propose to Secretary Fish the
immediate conclusion of new one, author
izing the very course to which our govern
ment objects. If Secretary Fish had had the
coolness to make such a proposition Lord
Derby would probably have stigmatized it as
o Yankee trick"
We trust Secretary Fish will not make any
reply to this despatch. The discussion is
concluded so far as are concerned. The
British government has attempted to put q
new construction upon treaty which has
been in force since 1S42. 1t sheltere. itself
at first behind an act of Parlia lament. Driven
from that, it then pretended that its con-
struction was the universal practice in extra
dition treaties. Shown that this was not so
by different treaties-notably that between
Denmark and Belgium-it now talks of the
sacredness Of political asylum, which has
never been in question, and suggests new
treaty which shall admit its claim to be just.
And all this fuss is made about the smuggler
Lawrence who appears to be person Of
uncommon importance in London.
1t is not useful to discuss the matter fur
ther. Our government, we believe, stands
ready to make new treaty upon perfectly
just and reasonable basis namely, that the
person surrendered shall be triable for any
of the crimes mentioned in the treaty, and
none others. That not only favors the
course of justice, which is what both gov
ernments want, but it is consistent with the
practice of both governments under the
treaty of 1S42, until the fear of confessions
by Lawrence duplicating important political
persons in England suddenly led the British
government, in great agitation, to impose
entirely new conditions upon us and to de-
fend its strange course by variety of pre-
texts, all of which are SO weak and unten-
able that the most influential English jour
nails have, one after the other, declared the
United States in the right and their govern
ment wrong.

THE MURpERous MOLLY MAGuREs, on
trial at Pottsville, Pa, for the killing of
Policeman Yost, have been found guilty of
murder in the first degree. This result will
rejoice all lovers Of law and order in the
coal regions, and will, it is hoped, put an
effoctual stop to the crimes which have
long stained that part of Pennsylvania. The
efforts of some of the accused Mollies to
save themselves at the expense of their COM
panions by turning States evidence ought
70 show the misguided members of this or
yanization how little they can rely on the
leading spirits of the Order when it becomes
question of bctraying or hanging The
decided action of the State authorities may
nave the effect of breaking up this murder
ous organization. We sincerely hope that
it will.

THE NEWS FOR SARATOGA. Yesterday morn
ing the HERALD despatched a special train
conveying the papers to its readers along the
line of the Hudson in time for breakfast, and
dropping the eagerly demanded bundles
at Saratoga at one o'clock. Congress has
decreed that the mails are hereafter TO re-
sumo their old slow rate of delivery; but the
headway gained in rapid delivery, sends its
own iron horse forward where the govern
ment service left off

The EMPERoEs AND TUEKEY.-A most i'm
portant piece of news, if true, is that copied
from the London Observer of yesterday, that
lhe German and Austrian Kaisers have
agreed in the view that non-intervention in
The struggle in Turkey is impossible. The
reason given for this conclusion is the mas
sacres by the Moslcms. The story has
been denied, but that was to be expected.
II the Imperial Powers can only agree upon
what part each is to play when they inter-
vene they will not be much troubled about
lhe excuse. The probable attitude of Eng
land, in case they took forward step, was
doubtless more canvassed than the extent of
the murders in Bulgaria.

The CUSTER MONUMENT is not intended to
register the errors of the Indian policy, but
to commemorate American courage. Let
those who are unable to subscribe in large
amounts remember the beautiful parable of
the widows mite:--'It was all she had, and
therefore rs acceptable in heavens sight as
if it had been the treasures of Golconda.
In such cause as this it is tho purpose, the
spirit that is appreciated, not the nero
pecuniary amount.

Tho Massacre Of the Innocents.

The most touching of all The passages in
the great authors are those which refer to
the deaths of children. There is the fate of
Arthur, with which Shakespeare moves our
feelings in ''King John y the mournful de-
cline of Paul Dombsy and the death of Little
Nell, which Dickens describes so beauti-
fully, and thousand other pathetic pic
lures IN romance and the drama. Thack-
cray alone, cynical as he was said to be, had
not the heart to paint the death of child
Yet what is all this poetry and fiction to the
truth in the American metropolis? Two
thousand children have died in New York
within twenty-five days They died of foul
air, of unfit food, of the stencil of the gut
ter and the criminal neglect of our great
city to provide help for the poor. Surely
New York cannot afford to rest under the
stigma of such suicidal statistics as these
Two thousand children dead in less than a
month Our rich people relieve the misery
that is brought to their notice; but Incl
dental charity does not compensate for the
want of a general system. Fifty extra ply
sicians, who are appointed by the Board of
Health, visit, it is likely, one thousand chill
dren q day; yet still they die, and,
Under a sad and shrouded heaven
Our sorrow stumbles where the willow waves
Because the earth is filled with little graves,
Which make the paths OF life uneven.
Such rate of mortality is disgraceful,
and if the city government does not do it's
dnty let the citizens come to the front and
end this massacre of the innocents. What
was the massacre Of Custer and his regiment
to this desolation of the households of the
poor? Custer had his life buckled to the
hilt of his sword, and his men carried their
hearts upon their sleeves. They were men
who could take care of their lives. But the
children? What defence have they against
the iniamies end the pestilence of q
city Of tenement houses, where palaces
and ho7els stand side by side and
the fever of the poor revenges itself
on the superior classes of society? Surely
it is the duty of New York to care for her
children. There is no nobler, purer, more
enduring joy than that which follows the
sacrifice of pleasure to duty. We all shun
unpleasant duty. We turn from that cold
still mistress who offers no reward, but the
reward comes and remains when the tempo
rary sacrifice of enjoyment is made. Where
is st. Johns Guild now? Who give their
money and personal effort to that and to
similar charities? Where are the floating
hospitals and children's excursions? Over
two thousand children buried in New York
alone IN little more than three weeks
The American metropolis is shamed by the
confession of her own sanitary authorities.
Let not our wealthy citizens permit the pro-
found and beautiful words of the Saviour,
''Suffer little children to come unto me-
and forbid them not, to be turned into the
worst Of irony.

PLENTY OF MONEY IN FRANCE.-The sub
scriptions to the new Paris loan reach fifty

must go begging for a good investment.
And yet we are paying six per cent, gold, on
The greater portion Of our national debt.

IrHAcAs PEST-UP ENTHUSIASM found vent
on the arrival home of her rowing champions
from their victories at Saratoga. Cornell
may well be proud of her lusty sons, and the
deafening hurrahs, the salvos of artillery;
the bonfres and the speeches that greeted
the boys on their triumphant return were
but the natural tributes of admiring friends
to their prowess at the oar.

The CENTENNIAL YEAR.-It is strange that
Mr.. Wheeler, in his letter accepting the
nomination for the Vice Presidency, should
fall into the common error of speaking of the
centennial year." A little reflection would
have shown this excellent writer that in
using this phrase he actually said the 'hun-
drcdth yearly year." There can be a cen-
tennial event, centennial celebration, a
centennial exhibition, but not q centennial
year. Dr. Johnson, in one of his imitationl
Of Juvenal said
Let observation, with extensive view,
Survey mankind from China to Peru
a passage which has been thus translated -
sLet observation, with extensive observation,
observe mankind extensively" But DR..
johnson was guilty only of pleonasm, while
Mr.. Wheeler offends by on absolute absur-
dity. English is better than Latin, and we
advise our orators and journalists to say the
'.hundredth year. when they desire to refer
to 1876.

OUR New GOVERNOR. Tilden, it is
announced. will go to Long Branch for the
month of August. As, by the law, the Gov
ernor cannot leave the State without vacat-
ing his Office, of course Mr. Dorsheimer will
become Governor and have his portrait
painted at the expense of the State. We are
anxious to see Dorsheimer's picture in our
Albany collection rs he is one Of the hand
soonest men in public life After Dorshei-
mer's yeoman's work at ST. Louis it is little
reward enough that Tilden should allow
him to become Governor. This retirement
rom office will enable Tilden to finish his
etter of acceptance which should be ready
py the 1st Of September.

GRANT AHEAD.

The Republican National Conven-
ton, which is to assemble in Cincin-
natl on the 14th of June will be COM
posed of TAO delegates. Uader tho
apportionment made the Southern
States will have 270 delegates and the
Territories %. 1t is asserted by those
who have canvassed the field that
Grant can have every delegate from the
Territories and the Southern States.
The Office holders appointed by Grant
run the party in the Territories, and
those who have been upheld by Fed
eral interference control the South.
Grant viii therefore enter the conven-
ton with stronger force than any
other candidate named for the Pres
idency. With the South and the Ter
ritories O unit for his nomination he
will lack but &c votes of majority OF
the convention. 1t is believed that the
Custom-house, Navy Yard, Mint and
Revenue forces in tho North will more
than make up this deficiency, and that
Grant will be nominated on the first
ballot. He is now far ahead of all COM
petitors and if he is not a candidate
for third term, it is in his power to
name the nominee of the convention.

In digging near Ceri, Rome, there
has been discovered a superb marble
fragment of an ancient Roman cslen-
dar, containing the second half of the
first five months of the year. Besides
the usual Indications OF days, feasts,
and the different games, there is a list
of the principal solemmities; some of
these last are quite new; others confirm
conjectures which have been made by
learned men on less certain indications.
The most recent date which can be
read is that of the dedication of the
Altar of Peace by Augustus, in the
745th year of Rome.

E'HE INDIAN RING

Congress appears to be determined
to anuihilate the Indian Ring. The
Committee on Military affairs have
unanimously reported bill for the
transfer of the jurisdiction and con
troll of the Indian Bureau, from the
Secretary of the Interior to the War
Department. 1t proyiie that army
officers are to net az superintendent
agents. ETC., and with one swoop de-
s,roys all the rings which have waxed
fat and rich under the civil manage
ment Of the Indians. The Secretary
of War is required to detail an officer,
not below the rank Of colonel to take
charge OF the principal Office at Wash
ington, under such regulations as he
may prescribe. AS the bill has been
unanimously reported by the commit
tee there Is scarcely doubt Of it's be-
coming law. 1t is to take effect on
the first day of July, after which the
members of the ring may retire and
live on the interest of their stealings
from the Indians. General Sheridan
is decidedly in favor of the change and
stated that the transfer would save
$35, 900, 0e0, and virtually end fighting
on the frontier.
