WASHINGTON, June 6, 1877.
The President is badgered a goot
deal these days with The application o
the heavy guns, Ill other words, appl
cants for tirst.clAss foreign missions.
Cincinnati has had her share and has
been recognized in the person of Ex
Governor Edward f. Noyes. as Minister
TO Paris. We don't know nicer OF
more desirable thing of the kind thar
has fallen to General Noyes. 1t is said
here that he will very soon sall tor the
Court of St. Cloud.
Gen. Comfy, of the Ohio State Journal
has been here lately and goes home az
happy as clam at high tide, with a
the Sandwich Islands. Comly's health
is poor, inclining to consumption, and
he hopes much benefit from the mild
climate of Honolulu. Dress Comfy up
in his tur-edgeu oak and hussar cap,
such us be used to wear in Columbu
and he would astonlsh King Kalakaua
and all his Kanaka subjects. In tact.
when so arrayed, he Is far more impress
sive even than the teld-marshal of the
Cincinnati Commercial.
We saw the genial face OF Colonel W.
p. Wiltsee the other day at the Ebbitt
House iu this city. He didn't contide
to us the object Of his visit, but from
the happy look he wore we opine he had
seen the President and obtained recog-
milton. Wiltsee came shOckingly near
being Assistant Treasu 'r at Cincin-
natl. Without wishing anything bad to
the lucky Mr.. Stem, who did get the
place, we are condemned sUrry Colonel
Witsee didn't scoop the position. Wilt
see is a good fellow, smart fellow,
made fine record in the late Legis-
OF the party. Fact IS, we are a good
deal of a Wlltsee man.
President Hayes is getting ready to
move out to the "Soldiers' Home" to
spend the summer there. This charm
ing retreat is only two miles out OF the
city, and is so cool and retired mat the
President can come in every day and
attend to business, and yet enjoy much
erreshing rest from his arduous labors.
We think the people will regard this
course as preferable to running away TO
Long Branch or any other watering
place.
This city has been visited lately by a
succession OF terrific thunder storms,
accompanied by deluges OF rain. Con-
siderable damage has been done to
houses and Improvements. The weather
has now cleared Oft and is comparative
ly cool and delightful. the heat OF June
being tempered by refreshing breezes.

REPLACING LOST SILVER.

REPLACING LOST SILVER.
The commission appointed by the Sec.
retary of the Treasury to determine
upon the probable amount Of fractional
currency which has been lost and will
never be presented for redemption has
not reported. 1t is thought that Secre-
tary Sherman will assume the RESPONSE
bility of issuing silver to the amount re.
ported by the commission as being no
longer in circulation. This amount is
estimated at 100000. The legal-te d.
ers received in exchange for silver to
this amount will be held in the Treasury
for the redemption OF such Of this frac.
tional currency as may hereafter be pre-.
sented.
MEXICAN MINISTER.
Mexico has sent no Minister here to
succeed Mr.. Mariscal, and for the
present he is regularly rscogniz I'd as
Minister by the Department OF State.
This is simply following out the rule OF
this and other governments, and by no
means commits the Government against
the recognition of the Daz govern
ment.

Brotherhoods and strikes.

The Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors,
at the meeting of their Grand Division held
at Emira, adopted a resolution absolutely
prohibiting its members from engaging in
strikes. The rules of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers forbid members from
striking until they have stated their
grievances to committee and that commit
tee has endeavored to arrange the dispute
with the railroad company. In case salts
factory arrangement cannot be made the
council is then authorized to permit q strike
after due notice.
In England it is now asserted that trade
unions have in numerous cases prevented
strikes; and there is no doubt that the
leaders Of trade unions have been of great
service in helping to create arbitration COM
mittees for the peaceablo settlement OF dis
putes between employers and workmen.
These arbitration councils have been found
very useful there. Why will not the leaders
Of brotherhoods and unions in this country
unite in an effort for their establishment

Gould (was seen the other evening scooting

Gould twas seen the other evening scooting
round corner and dined with him).
Eleuenth-He has been seen attempting to
look over the accounts Of his office, thing
no Mayor was ever before accused Of; that
is left to experienced politicians, not to
amateurs like Mayor Ely.
II our upright and worthy Mayor has
courage enough to face this host of accusa-
tions he may emancipate himself from every
kind of ring restraint, make his own plans
and pursue them. He was born with sound
ideas of economy, or at least has acquired
them by his pursuits as a merchant, and
accordingly has peculiar notions on some
subjects which politicians sometimes see in
the distance, but seldom come near enough
to bow to. We have faith that he has been
trying to carry out his economical ideas in
city affairs, and faith ("we walk by faith
and not by slightly that Comptroller Kelly,
who has been Mr.. Elys friend from the
beginning and was the strongest advocate
of his election, has aided him in every man
ner. These gentlemen may have sometimes
differed, but only from time to time. We
believe MIR. Kelly to be good accountant,
but have heard that Mr.. Ely is not SO
remarkable in that particular. There may,
therefore, be occasional little mistakes in
debts and credits between these two gen.
or later, there will be settlement between
them. Whether it will be brought about by
the adverse opinion Of their local advisers
(the ward politicians) or by public opinion
remains to be seen.
The press Of the city takes deep inter-
est in the success of Mayor Ely's admins
tration it feels lively curiosity as to the
relations which may hereafter subsist be-
tween him and the now all-powerful Comp
troller. The press will gladly support
either SO far as he is right, but their rela-
tions to each other are likely to be peculiar.
If Tammany feels itself too strong to brook
opposition and the Mayor should be too in
dependent to submit to control the press
may have a hand to play in that game, which
will demonstrate that it, too, is power in
politics. Tammany as it exists to-day has
always brought disaster to its leaders, al
though in Tweed's case it was pretty long in
coming. Ii Mr.. Kelly is wise he will use
his recent great victory with moderation
and prolong his power bya sparing exertion
of it. He can now afford to be magnan-
imous. Instead of paying off old scores he
ought to drop past differences and exert his
power to secure good government for the
city. He has now the opportunity, and We
would fain believe it to be in his character,
to advance from the role of dexterous pol
itician to that Of wise statesman and q
benetactor to the city. .

The Mabel Leon ard Case.

The extraordinary statement made in
court yesterday concerning the mother Of
Mabel Leonard, by the counsel of the So
cioty for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Chill
dren, puts another face on this troublesome
and distressing case. We must suppose the
society prepared to prove what its counsel
thus stated. If it does the public will, we
suppose, admit that Mrs. Rogers is not fit
person to have the charge of the little girl.
Indeed, if she is shown to be guilty Of
bigamy she will be sent to prison.
We are surprised that the counsel for the
society should declare that "but for the
comments of the press he would not have
made his statement. The press has only
done its duty in demanding that the society
should show sufficient cause for its inter-
ference, which was cruel and uncallcd for
on any other theory than that the mother

Cuban Affairs.

1t is to be hoped that tho reports of a
peaceable settlement in Cuba are true. The
cruel war which has lasted so many years
has destroyed great part OF the island, and
it has long been feared that it would con-
tinue until every plantation had been over
rum If recent reports may be believed the
insurgents are at last desirous Of peace,
while the King Of Spain, rumor says, is
ready to grant terms on which an honorable
settlement can be based.
We have little doubt that the change in
administration here has had an important
effect on Cuban affairs. While the course
OF the last administration toward Cuba and
Spain was upright and just ii is notorious
fact that adventurous persons, supposed to
be influential at Washington, by their Ian
guage and attitude excited the insurgents
to continued resistance, under the hope Of
Intervention in their favor by this govern
ment. These hopes were delusive, and
they have entirely disappeared since the
accession Of President Hayes.
If it should prove true that both parties
in Cuba are desirous Of peace the Spanish
government knows that the good othces OF
our own government will not be wanting if
they are desired, to help to a settlement.
We do not want Cuba; but we have no
doubt Secretary Evarts has already shown
the Spanish government that one prominent
element in any satisfactory and permanent
Cuban Settlement is permission for the in
habitants of that island to trade freely with
the United States. which affords them their
most important market, and on which they
depend for a great variety of products
necessary to their comfort and prosperity.
With good local government, fair repre-
sentation in the Spanish Cortes and direct
trade with the United States secured to
them, the Cubans would have no cause for
complaint against Spain, and oil obstacles
to their greatest prosperity would be re-
moved.
The New York herald., 1877-10-06
More Railroad Disasters.

The railroad disasters which occurred
during Thursdays storm furnish sad evil
dence of the severity Of the tempest, but
they also indicate that much remains to be
learned by railroad engineers in guarding
against such accidents. There is nothing
to show that any negligence is attributable
to the management of the trains that were
wrecked by the men directly in charge Of
them, and, therefore, we must regard the
lamentable catastrophes as accidents so far as
these humble employees are concerned. But
the question arises, Were the roadbeds in
each case so constructed and protected as to
afford any guarantee against the damaging
action of heavy rains and floods? It too
often happens that railroad builders sacri-
fee safety to economy in construction. The
embankments are frequently too narrow,
barely holding the ties, the ends of which
project beyond the top of the bank.
In cuttings there is generally no proper
cut too steep to prevent the soil, moistened
by rain. from slipping into the cuttings. Re-
tanning walls, built to hold earth or loose
sand, are frequently constructed without
any regard to the drainage of the mass of
saturated earth sought to be supported.
Consequently the wall is thrown out upon
the track or is undermined by the action of
the waters on its too shallow foundations
All this is due to an improper effort at
economy, which, in the end, proves to be
extravagance in its worst form and danger
GUS to life and property Some engineers
imagine that any material that can be easily
procured is good enough for railroad en-
bankment. sCulverts are built too low and
narrow to carry off the flood waters
caused by extraordinary rains, and these
water passes invariably fail, and often
under the pressure of q passing train. An
intelligent regard for topography, general
and local, is as necessary to safety in rail-
road construction as good ties and sound
rails. The melancholy loss of life ut Ph9-
nixville, Pa, and on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road cannot be wholly accounted Tor by the
severity of the storm. There must have
been faulty construction in the roads at
both Of the scenes of accident to bring
about the disasters. II the food waters
that washed out the tracks had proper vent,
as they evidently did not have, the valuable
lives that have been sacrificed would have
been spared. As there is at present abso-
lutely no check on the recklessness of in
experienced engineers or the dishonesty ol
certain classes of contractors the law should
interfere for the protection of travellers. II
is deplorable that SO many lives should be
lost through carelessness in constructing
works that demand the greatest skill and
foresight to render them safe for public use.

here? We know that some Of them strongly
favor these methods but the trade unions
in this country do not, 1t seems
to US, take sufficient pains to make
their aims known to the general pub
lie. The recent railroad strike showed
that the unions do not exercise such COM
plete control over their membership as to
hold them together in such IN emergency,
and it seems to us that since the strike
ceased the unions have not used the oppor-
tunity which it gave them to put themselves
in such relation to the public as is on many
accounts desirable. We should be glad to
hear from leading members and managers
of brotherhoods and trade unions on the
questions which interest not them alone,
but the general public.
