Thirty-nine years ago yesterday, May I, 1888, tho
first steam vessel which left this port for
Europe sailed from Ncw-York for Cork. She was
the Sirius, Of 800 tons, Capt. Roberts. She made
the voyage in nineteen days without accident.
The Sirius had crossed the Atlantic before,
having left Cork for this port on April 4, the Great
Western following from Bristol four days later. Tho
only names of note which we find among the VEN
turers on this hazardous voyage of the Sirius back to
Europe are those of the late James Gordon Bennett
and Edward NJ. Davis, the well-InOwn reformer. 1t
is a suggestive fact that from the time when John
Fitch launched on the Delaware the first steamboat
on American waters to this voyage of the Sirius
across the ocean more than half a century was
suffered to eapse. We have surely right TO boast
of more energy than our fathers or else of more
sfrew,lncss in finding servants in tho hints OF
science and forcing work out of them.

President Hayes is personally so much a
stranger to the great mass of the people OF
this city, that there will be general satisfaction
at learning that he is 20 visit the city this
month, and will be given a public reception by
the Chamber of Commerce on the 18th inst.
There is a widespread curiosity to know what
manner of man this President with mind of
his own is, and we can promise Mr. Hayes
warm reception, even though he should not he

These preparations betray fears that Russia
may carry the war too far and nccessitate re-

When the witnesses before the W OOuln tou-
mittee are collectively III such state OF mind
that most of them are even afraid to admit that
they ever heard of "the llucklebcrry Charter"
it is easy to imagine what effect Mr.. Tweeds
letter, in another column, will have upon them.
I'm this he SAYS to his counsel, Z" / hereby
"assume the full responsibility for everything
contained in the statement called my con
"'fession, which is now in the hands of the
" Attorney General" This means fight, and
implies a considerable store of ammunition.
il certainly smacbs Of novelty that the pres
idcnt of q life insurance company should be
indicted for conspiracy to defraud the policy
holders of another life insurance company
Yet this is what has happened TO Mr. BenIa-
min Moves. Such a thing could hardly happen
out Of Ncw-Jorsey; but there they apply legal
restraints to offenders with a readiness unknown
elsewhere. The prosecutions against life IN
surance officers i'll New-YOrk have much
lirmer basis; whether they will be pushed with
rs much severity remains TO be seen, and the
public will be very likely to institute compaTi-
sons.

The enterprisng TRIBUNE reporter who simulated
insanity in order to get inside view Of the econ
omy of a lunatic asylum might give a hint TO the
Custom-hOuse Commission. II Mr. John Jay would
array himself in the weather-beaten habliments Of
a mariner acquire little knowledge of navigation
and nautical blasphemy meet an incoming mer-
cIantman down the bay and assume command, he
might gather some useful information lie might
record how many officials, and Of what do
gree boarded his craft from the time she cast
anchor until her cargo was discharged. He might
discover what proportion Of these gentlemen asked
him if he had no cigars, or if he had nothing TO
drink among his stores, and what amount of these
stmiilants they levied on for domestic consump-
ton, and how many OF these gentlemen invited
themselves to dinner in his cabin, and what per-
centage of them assured him in confidence that they
had been'struggling to do him some special favors
for which they expected some remuneration. Per-
haps Mr.. Jay would be surprised to find how many
kinds of movable merchandise could DE sampled
and borne away and he would probably be appalled,
at the extent to which these petty depredations
carried on 4; and in no other way could the commits
sion attain such realizing sense of the predatory
flavor which pervades tine dealings of the Govern
ment with commerce. In order to keep up the
morale of the force it may be proper for customs
officials to look upon merchants and the merchant
marine as their natural prey, but if their ravages
could be restrained within more modest limits, the
sufferers would be grateful and perhaps the National
revenue would not be seriously impaired.

On the Danube the Russians are reported to

Compared with the movements in recent wars,

DAYS elapsed before the declaration Of war and
the engagement at M0ntebe!lo. In the PrussO-
Austrian war of 1S6G-Onc of the shortest and
most decisive OH recOrd-17 days also elapsed
between the invasion Of the lesser German
States and the battle at SadOWa, the only
great one of the war. In the last great con-
fict, France declared war July 10, 1870, but
hostilitics did not begin on a serious scale
until August L. when the French and German
armies met at Weisscnburg. Considering that
Russia is only nine days at war, 1t must be
conceded that she has made far progress to-
ward the scene Of hostllitieS.

The Custom-house investigation has hardly
reached the serious stage yet, being occupied
thus far in receiving much mcllituOus explain
alton from officials as TO the organization and
arrangement of the force, and, in general
way, as TO the dcpTayity of importers as a
class: Yesterday, however Cen Sharpe im-
parted an item of information to the Commits
sion, which was to the effect that " the Gus
"tom-housc was so big an institution that any
"body could throw a stone at It," This Is
evidently the basis of the official philosophy
on the subject of Investigations III general,
and it is such an impressive way OF sweeping
aside all accusation and complaint, that it
seems almost impcrtinont 90 follow the state
ment up with questions about assessments Of
clerks, bribery OF customs officers, and frauds
upon the revenue. The Commission kept on
nevertheless.

themselves the best explanations of success and

JUDICIAL CoNvENTIoN.-The bar
of the Eight Judicial Circuit met at
Baldwin on the sixth inst. and NOM
mated E. B. Bundy to be appointed
to till the vacancy occasioned by
the resignation of Judge Humphrey.
The first informal ballot stood: III.
Z. Baker, II: S. II. Clough, Il; j
5. White, IA; E. B. Bundy, II; N.
Ii. Clapp, 8. Second ballot: Baker
5, Clough II, White IL, Bundy IL,
Ciapp l, D. R. Bailey 8. Twelve
informal ballots were taken, and the
contest having then been narrowed
down by the withdrawal at different
stages cf the Dalloting, of Messrs.
Baker, Baily and Clough, to E. B.
Bundy of .Menominee and J. S.
White of Prescott, the convention
proceeded to formal. ballot, the
vote standing, Bundy q, White "a.
The choice of Mr.. Bundy was
made unanimous, and a petition
to the Governor forhis appointment
was signed. Party bias seems to have
been happily ignored in the con-
test. His selection although he is a
Democrat, appears to De entirely ac-
ceptable to all classes. The friends
of Judge Clough will be highly
gratifed at the handsome vote he
received. Although well known in
the Circuit, he has resided in it but
a few months, and made no effort
whatever for the nomination.
Since the above was written we
learn the Governor hesitates for
some reason about appointing Mr..
Bundy; SO perhaps the vacancy
will remain till the people fill it by
election in April.

A WRITER in the Chicago Tri-
bune says that in l795, Denmark
established courts of arbitration.
designed to settle questions of right
between honest oisputants, by a
more expeditions and economical
method than that of law suit. No
case vas to be brought before ,hem
unless both parties consented. and
either might refuse to abide by the
verdict, and go to law after all. But
unless one party or the other de-
INJURED upon the rendition of the
verdict, it was registered and be-
came binding. The result was that
the number of cases brought before
courts of Justice in three years de-
clined from 25 ,52l to o,953. Thus
the number of cases which proved
TO be manageable by arbitration
was 1865, or about 81 per cent of
the whole if the facts are correct,
the Tribune writer is perfectly right
In adding, that the Anglo Saxon
race, who have built up aud pulled
down the most cumbrous svstem
Of jurisprudence that ever existed,
may well consider the propriety of
substituting common sense as ex-
pressed by an unsophisticated jury.
