The beauties of the battery.

To THE EDITOR OF rHE SUN-Sir. From
personal knowledge the Battery used to be one
OF the most beautiful, II not the most beautiful
and fashionable resort in this whole country.
Population moved up town; Central Park was
created, and the Battery became deserted.

THE MTSsO URI PACIFIC.
How Commodore Garrison Thinks he will
Rcorganize IL.

Commodore Garrison, in furtherance Of
his plan for the foreclosure and reorganization
of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, has consulted
with many Of the bondholders, and agreed upon
scheme for their protection. 1t is something
as follows:
II he Is purchaser OF the railroad at the fore
closure sale, he will organize anew railroad com
pany, to which he will transfer the premises.
He will cause the successor railroad company to
make purchase money mortgage, subject TO
the existing mortc ires upon the property, for
the sum II 100000. evidenced by bonds OF
tl.pO each, bearing per cent. interest, com
nenciug from the 1T day OF January or July
succeeding the time I'm which he gains possess
81 II OF the mortgaged premises, the principal to
mature in thirty years from e., the Interest to
be paid seni-1nnually In the city of New York.
or this t5,lQO,Ut0 bonds 10000, with all unpaid
Interest upon the debt Of the county Of ST. Louis,
is TO h1 reserved for the payment Of like
amount OF debt 70 the county OF -. Louis; and
the balance II $i.2UOOOl Will be used Tor such
OF third mortgage bondhold ers as assent TO the
matter. and also FOR the purchase Of new equip
ment aud for other purposes.
The third mortgage bOndholders are solicited
to Join IN the scheme. Those who assent, by
depositing their bonds before the nrst day Of
September, 1873, arc to receive In plac, OF their
old bonds Ike amount, exclusive Of iutel est,
Of the new Issue OF $5OOO,ov0. THO accrued in
tcrest on the old bonds succeeding the time Of

stencil, often complained of aud testified
TO before the then Board of Health.
Streams of fetid water flowed from this
ground and ran down into the cellars OF
houses in Thames and Rector streets ana
so contaminated the wells there thnt many
tenants were obliged to move away.
Under these favoring circumstances the
yellow fever crept rapidly along Rector
street. md spread into Washington, Green
wich, Broadway, Carlisle, Albany, Thames,
Cedar. wall, Broad, New, Nassau, William,
Pine, Liberty, Cortlandt, Maiden lane,
aud other nelghboring streets. But in the
filth OF Rector street the epidemic found
its most acceptable headquarters.
The nuisance of Trinity churchyard has
long since been removed, but Rector street
is as badly paved and as imperfectly
cleansed rs it was in 1872. Its sewer emp
ties itself INTO the head of the dock be-
tween Piers and o. The filth OF the street
is indescribable. II the Board of Public
Works care nothing for the poor Irish and
Germans who live on this dirty thorough
fare, let 1t have some mercy on the hun
dreds and thousands OF citizens who are
obliged TO take that way to and from the
Long Branch boats. The Rector street
sewer should be extended to the end Of
Pier ., for II Spanish vessel infected with
yellow fever should lie in the foul water
OF that dock, the "bilious remittent fever"
OF 1922 would be bred there again.
Let the Street Sweeping Department
make Rector street ms clean rs Broadway
or Fifth avenue. 1t should be swept every
day, and its foul cutters, offensive culverts,
and rotten wooden pavement removed
without delay. 1t should be repaved Mt
once with block stone pavement.
IL Yellow Jack should be brought to our
harbor from some West Indian port, he
would find in Rector street rs favorable
an avenue OF appoach as he did in 1922,
when he swept away not less than 1,230
lives in that very neighborhood.

The Issue Clearly Defined.

JAY GoULD's Tribune publishes from a
recent private letter of Mr.. CARL SCHURz,
the following extract;
"There is a striking contrast between the
hard-soft money mixture In the Democratic
platform and candidates, and the strong 70 r

agraph Of Gov. HAYEss letter OF acceptance.

This presents once more and with re-
newed persplculty the novel issue which
MI HAYES 50 distinctly laid down in his
letter. That issue Is, in substance, the UfC
tenure OF all Offices lohOSe terms are not en-
presSlU limited bU The Constitution. This
is what HAYES proposes and what SEIZURE
advocates. They mean that every man once
appointed to an office, every gauger, post
master internal revenue collector, clerk,
or what not, shall retain that Office during
good behavior, that is to say, during life
and this they call reforming the civil
service.
There are many considerations bearing
upon this question Of the life tenure OF

Among the whiskey Ring swindle

Among the Whiskey Ring swi ndlers
against whom prosecutions were brought while
DRIsrOw was In ONCE, was JASPER ID. WARD Of
Chicago, who was indicted for oonspiring with
JACOB REIN and Others To defrAud the nited
States Of the tax on $4,000 gallons Of proof
spirits, and also for being concerned In the un-
lawful removal OF spirits from the South Branch
distillery In Chicago. WARD WAS the United
States District Attorney, having been appointed
to that place for his efforts TO reinstate In power
the et-baggers who had been plundering
Arkansas, at the time when GRANT Indicated
his purpose TO overthrow the legal government
Of that State with Feleral troops. WARD hay-
ing established "a double claim upon the graft
tude OF GRANT, arst by his active participation
in the plot against the hber les OF Arkansas,
and secondly by assisting the Whlskey Ring
which contributed 80 literally to the corrupt on
fund In 1872 It 10 not strange that the proceed
ings against him have been quashed, In accord
ance with instructions from Washington, liRIs-
TOW being out OF the way, and CHANTS hopes

JAKE REHM, who was indicted Jointly with
WARD, has been convicted and sentenced for
Participation IA the whiskey frauds.

The ravages of drunkenness In Great
Britain are now exciting renewed attention
there; and the scientific classes, as well as the
clergy, are trying to discover some practicable

OF Canterbury recently addressed the House OF
Lords on the subject, being induced 10 do so by
a memorial from eight thousand clergymen Of

Rector street and the yellow Fever,

In ls29 about the end OF June, there ar
rived in our harbor n vessel which had
been employed in carrying Spanish SOL
diers to Havana from Florida after the
surrender of Florida TO the United States.
At Havana the crew had been infect
ol with yellow fever, and upon the
return of the vessel to Pensacola It had
communicated the disease to the inhabit-
ants OF that city. The Pensacola cpl
domic was unexampled in the history Of
this dreadful scourge. At one time il is
said to have been impossible TO find suf-
hcient number OF unaffected persons to
nurse the sick and inter the dead. From
Pensacola the vessel came TO the port of
New York and lay at the wharf between
Rector and Carlisle streets, directly back
OF Trinity churchyard.
Opposite the fcver-freighted craft, at
100 Washington street, lived Mr. w, $.
CASTLE. Three of his children got sick of
avery serious and alarming malady, which
the resident physician pronounced IA bill
ious remittent fever. They sick ened about
the beginning Of July, and from them the
disease was communicated to ncighbors on
Rector street; and soon after, it was raging
as a ptstllence.

The withdrawal by President GRANT of
the name Of GEORGE T. FISHER, nominated for
United States District Attorney In Delaware,
was not made IN consequences OF the notorious
unntness OF FISHER for the place, but because
the judiciary Committee Of the Senate deter
mined to report against his confirmation, and
Informed the President OF that fact. In order
to save FISHER the modification Of rejection
by the Senate, GRANT withdrew his nomination,
very n UGH against hts own Will, doubtless, for
his nominee as District Attorney for the District
Of Columbia had been exceedingly useful 10 the
White House and other Rims. But FISHER
already has his revenge, for Postmaster-GenerAl
JEWELL, who, In consequence Of the failure Of
FISHER to proceed effectively against the parties
concerned in the HINES frauds, had urged his
removal from the last named ofioe, has been

good character which GRANT usually gives TO

The private war which was opened. pros.

three German bachelor brothers, was an extraor-
binary display Of belligerency on the part Of tho
aeeressors. The three brothers were not only
fully equipped for hostlities, nut were In state
OF mind so rancorous as to make them reckless
Of consequences. After Killing the two officers
who had been sent against them, they began
firing at stray pedestrians In the street. then fell
upon the establishment In which they had been
employed. and turned their reviewers upon
the men who had been their fellow work
men, killing two Of them. Naturally enough,
their onslaught produced confusion In the
establishment, but, upon recovering from IT, the
workmen, to the number OF two hundred
rushed upon the enraRed assassins and drove
them into the river, where all three Of them were
extorminated. The features and incidents OF
the combat were Of the widest character, and
It's results were sufficiently horrible to satisfy
