Governor Hayes and the south.

Our Washington correspondent emphati-
cally denies that there is any room to doubt
the position Of Governor Hayes on the
Southern carpet-bng governments, and in
sists that both from letter written by Mr..
HAYES and from certain indications con-
nected with the recent visit of Bishop Will
mer, Of Louisiana, to Columbus, there is
every reason to believe that the new Presi-
dents Southern policy will be ''such as the
people Of Louisiana and South Carolina de-
sire !" Finally says our correspondent, lit
is certain that Mr.. Hayes sees, just as well
MS President Grant, that the entire people
are tired of the military being employed to
sustain State government, and that If
republican State government cannot
sustain itself then it will have to give
way." 1t is believed at Washington
that the rumors of the intention Of
Mr.. HAYES to sustain Packard and Cham
berlain are put forth by those who desire to
see the electoral count fail, i'll the expecta-
ton that Mr. Morton would be elected Presi-
dent of the Senate and so fill the Presiden-
tial Office for one year. There is but little
chance that the completion of the count will
be defeated, and probably quite as little
that Mr. Morton could be elected President
of the Senate 1t may be true that the re-
ports regarding the probable Southern
policy of Mr.. Hayes are designed for mis-
chief At the same time, Notwithstanding
the eleventh hour recognition that the en-
tire people are tired of seeing the military
employed to sustain State governments, 1t
is certain that up to the present moment
the carpet-bag governments Of the South
have been and are kept in position only by
the strength of federal bayonets.

Americas scienti6o Triumph.

'sThe Treasury Committee Of the British
Parliament has submitted a report on me-
genealogical observations in which it sug-
gests the adoption of the American meteoro-
logical system" SO says our despatch from
Washington this morning. This unmistaka-
BILE and complete recognition of the supe-
riority approaching to perfection OF the
Signal Service system of the United States
by a committee representing the British
Parliament affords us just grounds for con-
graduating the country and General Myer on
the success Of the National Weather Bureau
at Washington. We who have for a long time
noted the marvellous precision with which
the Signal Service forecasts Of the weather
have been fulfilled throughout tho country,
can readily understand why the system of
observations employed in the United States
should attract the admiration of the world.
We know that men of the highest scientific
attainments manage this most important
department of the public service under the
direction Of General Myer. We also know
that the non-commissioned officers and
men of the service, on whose intelligence
and steady devotion to duty the perfect
operation of the system depends,
possess the highest qualifications for
that purpose. The introduction of the
United States system into the English
service Will have the excellent effect of es-
tablishing uniformity of working between
the two most important weather bureaus
organized, and cannot fail to be productive
Of greater safety to shipping, by rendering
storm predictions more accurate. We also
look forward to the perfection Of system
of international storm warnings. such as
that initiated with so much success by the
HERALD. Our efforts shall always be de-
voted to increasing the efficiency Of Ameri-
can meteorological science, because it must
exercise the most beneficial influence on the
prosperity Of commerce and agriculture.

Tho Change in the Electoral Conn
mission.

Senator Thurman has been compelled,
through i'll health, to resign from the Elec-
toral Commission, and Senator Herman has
been appointed to fill the vacancy. Ever
since the commission first assembled Mr..
Thurman has been suffering from a ner.
rnlgc attack, which at one time became so
acute that the commission was compelled to
meet at his residence to take the final vote
on the Louisiana case. When it became
certain that the vote of South Carolina
would come before the commission, Mr.
Thurman, feeling that his health would not
permit him to take part in the future
deliberations, was reluctantly compelled to
resign his position. An agreement was en-
tered into by the two houses at the forma-
ton of the committee that any vacancy
which might occur during its existence
should be filled by selection from the
political party to which the retiring member
belonged. In conformity with this under
standing Mr.. Herman has been appointed
in Mr.. Thurmans place, and as the new
member Of the commission has acted with
fairness and honor throughout the entire
electoral controversy and was q strong sup
porter of the Electoral bill, his appointment
is entirely satisfactory to both parties and
to all his associates on the commission.
But the change from Mr. Thurman to Mr.
Herman has not the slightest political sig
nificance. 1t makes no alteration whatever
in the political complexion of the commits
sion and is not likely to have any effect on
it's action.

On its course TO Europe Light snow has fallen

The indications of storm in Mexico and the
Western Gulf continue. The heavy rains ut
Havana during the past three days and
the general coudinces over the Gulf States
seem to point to its approach during the
next two days. Dispatches from the Bcrmutas
inform us of great storm over tho islands on

that sthe depression in the Eastern Gulf has

New Streets in the swamp District.
Any one familiar with the plan of the
lower and oldest part of New York will
readily recognize how important 1t would be
to business interests if certain streets were
widened and improved and new avenues
opened connecting the central with the
waterside thoroughfares. AS the city grows
narrower south Of Grand street the principal
streets converge to common point at the
City Hail. Therefore in that vicinity the
concentration of traffic which can find no
loss of time in the transportation OF freight
and merchandise, besides creating an
undue wear and tear on the street
pavements. Broadway is constantly crowded
with vehicles of every description, and q
frequent interruption of traffic takes place
trifing nature. Nearly all the heavy busi-
ness of the city is transacted within an area
bounded on the north by Grand street.
Within it we find the principal warehouses,
stores, depots, factories and markets, each
having their special needs for free communi-
cation with other points in the city. We be-
leve therefore that comprehensive scheme
of street widening, opening and improve
ment should enter into the general plan in
contemplation for increasing the trade facili-
ties of New York. We must have wide and
we'll paved avenues uniting the centre of
the city with the docks and piers, and SO
planned that the streams Of traffic can be
divided into smaller and more manageable
currents when they enter the narrow pre-
cincts Of the business section of the city.
An opportunity can be now created in con-
nection with the completion Of the East
River Bridge. Property must be purchased
for the bridge approach, and we see no rea-
son why sufficient width should not be Sc
cured to afford broad avenue which would
lie parallel with the viaduct. Weregard with
favor the proposition to open wide street
between Chatham square and the Battery.
Such can be secured by improving the New
Bowery to Water street and widening the
latter to the South ferry. But we must also
provide for lateral traffic. A wide street
from the City Hall Park, through Frankfort
street to the East River, and the continue
ton of Park place to West street would give
fine cross town avenue. This, with the
widening of Chatham street and the inn
provement Of Pearl street, would give us
much needed business outlets. If any plan
for improving the street accommodation in
the Swamp region is adopted let it be
comprehensive one that will meet the
present wants.

country men capable of filling and willing

natl Convention, where he perceived at
critical moment that Mr. Hayes
was about to be nominated. He i'm
mediately went over to Hayes with
his whole delegation, and thus determined
the result. Mr.. Botherbox, who has hith-
erto occupied several important Offices, will
accept the Treasury as q small recognition of
his services in having carried the news to
Columbus that the nomination was actu-
ally made. Mr.. Latherem will be Secretary

Hayes at Cincinnati by defeating the nomi-

nominated on the night of the first day that
ballots were taken, but Latherem had the
gas cut off and bought up all the candles in
Ohio so that they had to adjourn All the
other places will be given to men equally
famous for the fact that each one was the
real author of the nomination of HAYES.

A MERcIruL JUEY.-It is difficult to
say whether the result of the trial Of
the so-called "cart rung murderer was
due to the jury taking the bit in its
teeth and fairly running away with the
case or whether it was due to an unac-
countable Misunderstanding of the Judge.
His Honor charged the case as one Of mur-
der in the first or second degree, and the pun
ishment for the least grave of these offences
is imprisonment for life. But the jury rem
dered verdict of manslaughter in the
second degree, and the criminal thus gets
only seven years imprisonment But inas-
much as prisoners sentenced for life in this
State are incarcorated only for an average
term Of seven years the culprit is at least on
his average.

| The Eureka Sentinel of last Saturday tells
how prospector was robbed, as follows
Thursday morning Julius Baratia started
for Ward on foot, with his blankets on his back He
crossed mountain by the trail of the Maryland
Wells and road Hamilton in the valley
beyond He had not trudged far until he met
white horse who stopped him and demanded his money
Julius well fixed in the way Of ready cash, and it
was for this that he had taken the stage in the
first place His entire available consisted Of ten
dollars and six bits He long way from his destna
ton and gave up with reluctance and not until he had
made touching appeal be allowed to retain at least
portion. The magnanimous robber finally passed him
back the SIX bits when he told to julius
says the mans image is indeby impressed upon his
mind and he is certain he would know him if he should
meet him again. He described him as being
dunn sized swarthy looking individual of about forty
years age. His horse small animal with Spanish
brand the left hip but its description could not
be accurately taken under the circumstances. We get
these facts from Mr. Wilson, who from Newark
yesterday, and who met Julius shortly after his unpleasant
adventure with the knight Of the road julius said he
should have returned put the officers the track of the
bold robber, bui the AMOUNT hardly worth the
bother and loss OF time that it would cost him. Mr. VIII
who knew him in the early days of White Pine, kindly

acter there. 1t was the opium case. Our
faithful guardians of the dignity Of the com

and some exemplary warnings were set. The
