Fourth OF July In the Board Of
Aldermen.

The presentation of a memorial from the
underwriters against the use OF fireworks
on the Fourth of July flung the Board of
Aldermen into Mysteries yesterday. Mat
ters could not have gone much worse with
the venerable City Fathers if the boys had
invaded their room and fired off rockets,
crackers, squibs, snakes, chasers and dou-
ble-headers there and then. We present
our coincidence to Alderman Cowing-his
eloquence might have prevailed had he not
been bottled up by points of order.
But after all some good came out of the
confusion, for it was discovered that there
is already IN ordinance prohibiting the
firing OF almost every known kind of pyro-
technic weapon at any time within the city
limits. AS with the tramps so with the
fireworks there is no need Of new law.
All that is required is to enforce
one that has been on the books for
the last thirteen years The ordinance re-
lating to fireworks will be found elsewhere.
1t was passed December "a, 1864, and it pro-
hits the firing of rockets, crackers, torpe-
does and squibs within the city limits, un-

General Grant seems to have seen all that
is distinguished in London last night at Mr..
Pierreponts. All the Cabinet, except Lord
Bcaconsfield, who is i'll all the diplomatic
corps all the notabes Of Parliament, in
Guiding Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Bright !;
many literary lions and large number Of
noblemen were present. And yet, the report
says, there were nearly as many Americans
as Englishmen.
General Grant shook hands with every
body. He has done good deal of hand
shaking in the last eight or nine years, and
has several times been famed by the pro-
longed torture, which he probably thought
he had escaped when he left the White
House. He may as well resign himself to
his fate and shake hands all over Europe,
only to begin over again when he gets back
home.

The Western Torn n do.

At 1926 p. M. on Monday tho thriving
town of Mount Carmel, ILL.,, was full Of
hustle, and it's inhabitants and visitors
had no thought but of selling and buy
ing or transacting the other business
which occupied their attention at the time.
At 1886 p. M. Mount Carmel was in ruins.
Fierce flames, famed by the bowling winds,
were devouring the wreck of stores, dwell
ings, schoolhouses and churches, and the
streets were strewn with dead and wounded.
A tornado had struck the town within the ten
minutes and worked nil this ruin and death
in its midst Such n sudden and awful
calamity has seldom visited any part of this
country, and finds a parallel only in the
instances where violent earthquakes have in
o moment destroyed cities in South or
Central America. Although the catastrophe
at Mount Carmel, full account of which is
given to-day in our special dispatches,
was as unexpected as it was dreadful,
the cause which produced it was not So
At least the readers of the HERALD
On the Goth Of May the indications
of the development Of tornadoes in the West
became so strong that we predicted that
''local disturbances may be expected in the
central districts and the West during the
next few days" On the 30th we again called
attention to these dangers. Again on the
31st we specified the district in which they
would probably occur. On juno ] and
our warnings were repeated even moro
emphatically, because tho indications be-
came stronger that violent tornadoes would
pass over the region referred to- Hence it is
probable that the very sufferers from this
fearful tempest had read the HEIALDs
announcement and commented on it.
Now, we do not refer to this for
the purpose of claiming credit for a pre-
diction fulfilled, but to show that threat
ened districts can be warned of the APP
proach of danger. 1t is as easy as necessary
to warn an inland town as it is a seaport OF
the approach of storms. We therefore sug-
gest to the Signal Service Bureau that this
be done for the future. A storm signal
hoisted where oil can see it will be as inn
portant to the farmer and business man as
to the sea-going mariner. When the evil
dences Of danger are SO plain as they have

der penalty Of five dollars for every
offence; and the selling or firing Of
''snakes," "chasers" and ''double-headers,"
under penalty Of fifty dollars for each
offence. We should like to hear what the
Mayor and the police have to say about this
ordinance. A delegation of fireworks manu-
facturers yesterday waited on the Mayor to
protest against the passage of an ordinance
prohibiting the use of their wares. We are
not without sympathy for these gentlemen !;
but after all the safety of the city also needs
to be looked after, and as we have prohibit
tory ordinance the question is now not as
to the enacting of new one, but as to the
enforcement of law already on the books.

The war News.

The report of the battle at Malajat is one
of the stories that if it were COMPOUNDED
with recent war stories generally would
have to await confirmation before being
fully accepted but it is worthy of note
that reports which tell of crushing defeats
of the Turks by the Montenegrins are nearly
always true. Rumor seems to trouble her.
self very little with that remote district and
only the naked report of hard facts is ever
absence of particulars. But the Montene-
grins in the mountains facing the forces
coming down from Mostar perhaps found
their rear menaced by a Turkish column
from Novi-Bazar. Turning upon this it APP
pears likely that they surprised its march
From the extent Of the Turkish loss the
column must have been roughly handled.
On the other hand, Sulieman Pacha claims to
have inflicted q sharp defeat on the Monte
negrins and occupied several of their posi-
tions. We would attach some credit to this
news, but we have not forgotten the story
about the recapture of Arabian.
Our despatch from Rustchuk indicates
that views of the difficulty of bridging the
river have not been exaggerated. At that
point the river is two thousand yards wide,
but artillery in the Turkish batteries on the
hills behind Rustchuk can send to the bot
tom the pontoon boats of the Russians at
Giurgevo, on the opposite side of the
stream. These batteries cannot be less than
thousand yards from the Rustchuk bank,
and are thus three thousand yards, or a
trife short Of two miles distant from the
boats they damage This is very good
practice. certainly, on the part of the Otto
man gunners. These shots may very likely
turn out as noteworthy accidents rs the one
by which the Russian gunners sent a bomb
shell down a monitors funnel.
The arrival of the Gear at Ploejesti is now
anxiously awaited, and extraordinary pre-
cautions continue to be taken to
insure his safety while travelling on the
Roumanian railroads When the ruler of
s.all the Russias" takes command of his
army we may look for exciting news
from the Valley of the Danube. It is
evident from the tone of the London
Times on Turkeys chances that the posi-
bility of English Intervention is now very
remote. Indeed, the appearances indicate
that Englishmen have made up their minds
that the "Sick Man" is at last in very bad
way, and they want to know what is in his
will and, above all, to get the custom of his
heirs and successors in the estate.

she should consent to the crossing of our
troops to capture and punish the marauders
The Mexican government replied that 1t
could not make such treaty without the
consent of its Congress, and that the measure
would be too unpopular to have any chance
of success. Mr. Fish thereupon gave a
significant intimation that unless the thiev-
ing. murders and arson were stopped tho
United States would cross the river and
punish the criminals without Mexican con-
sent. The imbecility of Mexico in restrain
ing her own citizens constantly tended to
this vigorous solution, and Mr.. Evarts hns
wisely judged that the time for trifing is
past. The new administration agrees with
him, and the necessary military order has
been issued. There is no intention to seize
part of her territory, no design against
her authority and independence, but only
a determination to protect our own citizens.
We have gone beyond the point at
which forbearance ceases to be virtue, and
can no longer permit Mexico to keep a door
open for trespassers upon our rights to
escape Justice In our pursuit of robbers
and murderers we shall not trouble the
innocent, and the moment our troops sue
coed in Furnishing marauding party they
will forthwith retire within our frontier md
leave Mexico unmolested until a new raid
occurs. All proceedings of this kind will
end as soon as Mexico makes up her
mind to do her duty and relieve us of this

The bill providing for the sale of the
lateral canals, which was left in the Gov
ernor's hands at the close of the Legislative
session, has received the executive approval
and is now law. Under its provisions the
useless Crooked Lake Canal is to be aban-
doned at once, although, as no provision
was made by the Legislature for its main
tenance this year, it would have been
practically abandoned without the law. The
Chemung Canal is to be abandoned at the
close of the present season of navigation |;
the Chenango Canal extension on the LIST of
May next, which makes the present season
its last, and the Genesee Valley Canal is to
be disposed Of on or after September 30,
1873 The law makes, perhaps, too liberal
reservations in the case of reservoirs and
feeders and carefully protects local inter-
ests but it's main object, the release of the
State from heavy and objectless burden,
makes it acceptable with all its imperfec-
tions. Some apprehension has been ex-
pressed that the delay in the abandonment
and disposal of some Of these useless canals
may afford the next Legislature the oppor-
tunity to further postpone the operation Of
the law; but as Governor Robinson re-
mains in Office three years it is not at all
probable that on attempt to cling any longer
to the condemned laterals would be success
full. The State may now be regarded as well
rid Of those improbable works

A Chance for tho Hack Drivers

A Chance for tho Hack Drivers.
Mr.. Kavanagh, who has been active in
promoting the enterprise Of the Metropol-
itan Cheap Cab Company, and who speaks
for the English stockholders, says in let
ter to the HERALD published to-day, 'Let
me for once and all say that am very de-
sirous Of having the present hackmen not
only rs drivers but as shareholders, SO that
our patrons may receive more civility and
attention, and that the drivers Of the cabs
may have personal interest in the welfare
Of tho company" AS Mr.. Kavanagh repre-
sents large amount of stock it will be the
fault Of the present hack drivers if they fail
to enter into the new project and to reap
their share of the profits it is certain to
realize. They should learn by experience
the wisdom of abandoning opposition to
this improvement and enlisting in its sup
port. The horse car companies have lost
their chance of reaping the advantages Of
rapid transit. Instead of fighting that great
public necessity they should have used
their position and wealth to become its
champions and owners. They should have
sympathized with and aided the people, in
stead Of opposing their interests and en-
deavoring to impose upon them at every
turn. When labor-saving machines were
first introduced farm laborers were ready to
destroy them by violence; but they soon
found that their work was lightened and
that they were enabled to make more money
than they did before the introduction Of
machinery. Both rapid transit and cheap
cabs IRE inevitable. The horse car compa-
MES opposition will be swept away by the
former, just as the opposition of stage lines
was swept away by the horse railroads. If
the hack drivers avail themselves of the
chance now open to them and become in
terested in the cheap cab movement they
will progress with the times and reap with
others the advantages of the new and prom
isine enterprise.
